At that limits of the atmosphere, the Blood Palace stood as it radiated an intense red light like the sun at high noon. its intense fluctuation filled the lands with a light unmatched since time immemorial.
A gigantic red cyclone surrounded the palace formed a massive funnel around the top. The red cyclone spun rapidly on a thin axis repelling anything from entering.
The Demon Elder stood at the center of the cyclone, right at the doorstep of the Blood Palace. Ye Yuyan stood across from him, standing next to the Immortal Elder.
"Now who the hell are you?" The Demon Elder said with a scowling expression and a frown.
Ye Yuyan's cold gaze scanned over the Demon Elder, the elder's old body radiated no sense of aura. If not for his arrogant expression, one would suspect he was just a mortal old man. Ye Yuyan's gaze shot through the old man's defenses revealing his true aura.
From the Demon Elder's body was a massive black aura that reached toward the sky, across the black beam were spots of dark green that were constantly corroding the foundation of the beam.
Near the foundation of the beam was a small clump of frost crystals and energies. Inside the energy crystals was a frost beast with an iron ring around its nose. This beast bore a strong resemblance to Illathar!
"I've been wondering who had been tampering with my preparations." Ye Yuyan said with an enigmatic smile and cold eyes.
The Demon Elder's eyes narrowed as he hesitantly asked Ye Yuyan: "What are you talking about?"
Ye Yuyan's casually glanced at Qi Hong as if not acknowledging what he said. Ye Yuyan furrowed his brows and frowned ever so lightly as he said to Demon Elder: "I'm not talking to you, Qi Hong. Wake up already you accursed old thing."
"What?!?" Qi Hong's pupils constricted with shock and suddenly his eyes morphed. The dark green Qi on the black beam seethed at that moment and bit through his life force.
Qi Hong's pupils turned flat and rectangular, his sclera turned a greenish white. His entire eye emanated a terrifying demonic light and resembled the eyes of a goat.
On Qi Hong's head, two bones jutted out from his skull, the two bones curved out as they formed into two sharp ram horns! A powerful demonic aura wrapped around the Demon Elder's body filling his meridians and acupoints with slaughter qi.
A demonic goat's head silhouette flashed behind his body as his Qi reinforced his physical strength. This was a technique that demons and demonic cultivators had. It was their version of body refinement; they call it Evil form!
"This primal power, it...it...it's ungodly..." The Immortal Elder stuttered out with wide eyes and a shocked expression.
The dark green Qi shot out forming into a world of its own, the powerful slaughter Qi bore down on their royal blue Qi forcing it into retreat. The energies clashed releasing electrical energies at the border of the clash, the two clashed continuously until the two worlds were of equal size.
Qi Hong eye sockets bulged as his eyes spun around in his socket rapidly and with a garbled and demonic voice he said: "Still no respect for your seniors, thousands of years later."
"Who's my senior? You?" Ye Yuyan said as he curled his lips in disgust toward Qi Hong.
"I am." Qi Hong sneered with a haughty smirk.
Ye Yuyan smiled a closed-lipped smile and coldly gazed at Belphegor as he said: "Belphegor...you're a pleasure as always. But I must cut this reunion short!"
"Thundercrystal Physique, activate!" Ye Yuyan shouted and suddenly his right eye flickered with a thunder mark and his body released a radiant royal blue aura. Ye Yuyan's aura rippled suddenly and distorted the space around them as it pushed at the cyclone.
Everywhere the aura went, it would purify the bloody sky turning back to blue. The aura landed on the vortex funnel and started to eat away at it.
At the border of worlds, the radiant blue world engulfed the green world overwhelming the green world with a tidal wave of Qi and forcibly compressing the entire green world.
The radiant Qi shot into the surroundings and within moments the area inside the cyclone became a beautiful paradise with a radiant blue sky. Ye Yuyan's body blended into the radiance becoming one with it, stunning the Immortal Elder.
"The Sage..." He muttered to himself as his eyes filled with Ye Yuyan's radiance. Ye Yuyan closed his eyes and on his forehead, the four-colored lotus spun rapidly.
The inscriptions of the Great Dao murmured with nomological power as archaic runes of the Great Dao danced across the lotus as if alive. Deep inside Ye Yuyan's body, the powers of frost and lightning coiled along one another inside his meridians.
The Qi shot through toward one of his acupoints; it rippled through his cells filling them with electrical energy until it a strong suction forced pulled the Qi toward the acupoint.
The acupoint was a small conclave along the meridians, but in Ye Yuyan's body, there was not a conclave instead it was a crystal! The crystal was made from tightly weaved ice matrix with hundreds of thousands of layers.
At the center of the crystal, a tiny Qilin beast danced through and from releasing electrical Qi into the ice matrix. The moment the Qi entered the acupoint, the pressure burst out from Ye Yuyan's body as a royal blue distortion!
"This body refining method, I've never seen it before." Belphegor said to himself as he watched Ye Yuyan's aura grow without limit.
Ye Yuyan's eyes flashed releasing an intense blue light, a radiant blue sky radiated from his gaze. The Immortal Elder looked deep into Ye Yuyan's eyes, the majesty of the gaze inextricably consumed his consciousness and self.
"Get out of the way." Ye Yuyan's lips opened ever so slightly and he spoke with an ethereal voice that drifted into the Immortal Elder's ear.
"Yes..." The Immortal Elder hypnotically said as he formed a blast shield of white qi around himself and turned to fly away.
"No one leaves unless I say they can." Belphegor sneered as he turned his demonic gaze at the Immortal Elder's flitting form and suddenly he swiped his hand across the air. From his slice shot out a dark green beam, it cut through space appearing instantly in front of the Immortal Elder.
The indomitable slaughter Qi moved to dissect the Elder in half when suddenly Ye Yuyan right eye flashed. Inside Ye Yuyan's body, the thunder crystals conducted intense electrical fluctuations and from Ye Yuyan's eyes shot out a bolt of lightning.
The anger of the heavens shot out from his gaze and crashed into the dark green Qi. The radiant Qi wrapped around the dark Qi cleansing and destroying it in seconds.
"What?!?" Belphegor shouted with shock filled eyes. He quickly turned his attention to Ye Yuyan, but it was already too late. Ye Yuyan's body turned into a blue flash as he fused into the radiant blue world and appeared in front of Belphegor.
"You...when..." Belphegor tried to say, but Ye Yuyan interrupted him.
"Shut up!" Ye Yuyan intoned without emotion, the radiant world seethed with excitement as hundreds of thousands of radiant particles shot into Ye Yuyan's fist. The thunder crystals inside his acupoints conducted more energy as Ye Yuyan fist became wrapped in radiant Qi.
Ye Yuyan calmly punched out and suddenly his fist grew to fill the size. The gigantic fist compressed the air and distorted space with its intense gravity as it bore down onto Belphegor's form.
"No!" Belphegor roared as he summoned the power of his slaughter Qi. The dark green world generated dark particles as they fused into his body, filling his evil form with ungodly power.
Belphegor raised his own dark green fist as it expanded matching the radiant blue fist in stature. The two world-shaking fists clashed and suddenly detonated into a radiant and a dark green Qi. Qi blasted off into two directions up and down in the sky as it turned into two upside-down funnels.
The intense nomological fluctuations ripped open the surrounding space generating spatial storms. Ye Yuyan's body surged with electrical energy as he flashed past the distortions. Belphegor gritted his teeth and joined in, jumping past the distortions.
Suddenly a massive supersonic boom happened in the void spaces, and then in another area, another boom happened.
The explosions continued as Ye Yuyan's and Belphegor's bodies would flash for a second in a different spot before disappearing. The only trace of their existence was the trail of Qi they would leave.
Radiant royal blue and demonic dark green lines of Qi swirled and danced amidst the clashing of fists and fading afterimages.
Belphegor reappeared and shot out another world-shaking fist, but Ye Yuyan didn't respond with a fist. Instead, the thunder crystals in his body generated a lightning cowl across his body. Lightning runes generated at his legs and a vague silhouette of a Qilin beast appeared behind him.
"Flash!" Ye Yuyan growled through gritted teeth, the lightning cowl around his body seethed with excitement and the lightning runes on his legs activated. The runes propelled Ye Yuyan's body as he turned into a lightning bolt and flashed across the battlefield.
Ye Yuyan's lightning looked inconsequential compared to the world-shaking fist Belphegor launched, but Ye Yuyan still propelled forward. He flashed toward the first and crashed into it with no hesitation, the lightning cowl exploded with power as he shot through piercing through the fist.
He cut through the layers of dark green Qi like butter as he purified it with the power of thunder, and in an instant, he was before Belphegor.
Belphegor's pupils constricted with fear, he sped up his body and faded away. When suddenly under his breath Ye Yuyan mumbled: "Radiant World!"
A powerful calming blue Qi shot out from Ye Yuyan's body and suddenly the entire world froze. Space and time came to a screeching halt, nothing in the world moved or made a sound except for Ye Yuyan!
He walked forward ever so slowly until he stood in front of Belphegor, radiant Qi condensed on his pointer finger as he tapped on Belphegor's forehead.
"ARRRGGGHHH!" Belphegor screamed from the top of his lungs, as his eyes flew back into his head. The world moved again as space and time moved. The radiant Qi cooled suddenly becoming lipid and calm again.
Qi Hong's body suddenly disappeared appearing ten meters away from Ye Yuyan but it was already too late. Belphegor gripped his head to stop the pain as his body writhed, dark green Qi escaped from his pores as radiant Qi forced it out.
A dark green mist emerged from Qi Hong's body, coalescing over his head as a disembodied goat's head.
"Arrggghhhh" Qi Hong continued to scream as it expelled ghastly Qi into the air. Ye Yuyan coldly looked on as Qi Hong's aura rapidly fell, from rank 5.
Then suddenly it dropped to rank 4, and it kept going. On Qi Hong's life beam, the green Qi corrosion stopped, but the pillar was already harmed too much and suddenly cracks appeared along the entire construction.
In less than a second, the entire pillar shattered from the cracks and Qi Hong's eyes turned dull. In another moment his heart stopped and his body drooped and lost its balance.
As the last of the demonic Qi left his body, so did his strength and suddenly his body started free-falling towards the ground. But neither Ye Yuyan nor Belphegor took notice as Qi Hong's suffered a pitiful fate.
The remnant demonic Qi fused into Belphegor's disembodied head as Qi Hong fell to his death. Belphegor looked at Ye Yuyan and noticed he was smirking, the demon felt anger filling its heart at stared at Ye Yuyan's arrogant expression.
"Do you think the battle's over now that I lost the vessel? I can still fight!" Belphegor growled and suddenly his demonic Qi rose up to the heavens like flames shooting through a cauldron. His dark energy filled the sky and glittered like evil stars.
"Arrgghhh!" Belphegor growled as his head sprouted a white-furred and muscular abdomen and suddenly the four appendages sprouted from his abdomen.
On his back, a long demonic tail shot out and dark green energy danced across his entire coat giving him a dark green tint.
His body bulged in size increasing every second until he was the almost two-hundred meters, he easily dwarfed over Ye Yuyan's body. Belphegor's cultivation strength rose without limits as it shot past initial Rank 5, all the way to late Rank 5!
Belphegor's gigantic demonic eyes gazed at Ye Yuyan, each of his eyes was thousands of times bigger than Ye Yuyan. But Ye Yuyan's arrogant expression remained unaffected instead he even met Belphegor's gaze.
"How about now, Ye Yuyan? How will you resist me now?" Belphegor derided with a sneering expression and squinted eyes.
"Your Greedy Evil Form huh..." Ye Yuyan coldly stated with a sneering expression.
Belphegor's blinked his eyes in disbelief at Ye Yuyan nonchalant behavior. He felt a strong dread build in his body when suddenly Ye Yuyan asked him: "How about I show you my Evil Form?"
"What?!?" Belphegor shouted with shock
"Hah!" Ye Yuyan roared as the lotus on his forehead swayed. His pupils disappeared and his sclera became inked with black.
"Moon Demon!" Behind Ye Yuyan, appeared a massive white furred demonic beast with tattoos across its body and a blue lotus on its forehead.
"Blood Rites!" Next, the second leaf swayed and an indomitable blood sword shot out from the lotus. A red river swirled around the hilt of the sword as if a servant serving its master.
While inside of the black sea, Ye Yuyan formed an aspect from his Red River totem. He had already retrieved the Heartsword code from the Blood Plains in Heaven's Realm along with the Blue Moon Code: Volume 2, so the entire process was simple and short.
The sword turned towards the silhouette and suddenly it slashed down on the Moon Demon. It slashed out vertically nine times, a few meters separated each slice.
Nine red gashes appeared on the Moon Demon's body as the sword slashed down, but right after the red river would enter the gash. Each gash shone with red light radiating the intense power of the Blood and Sword Dao!
"Illusionary Yin!" Ye Yuyan intoned through gritted teeth, inside his left eye the darkness propagated without end until suddenly a big bang burst inside of his pupil. Suddenly a radiant white light shot from the darkness becoming a beacon of light!
Ye Yuyan's entire aura turned pitch black, his body dissolved in this darkness as this dark energy grew without end. The powerful darkness wrapped around Ye Yuyan's aspect like an embryo and embraced it in darkness.
"This...this...this! It can't possibly be!" Belphegor stuttered out fearfully as his eyebrows furrowed with distress.
Around the dark embryo's walls appeared a set of red draconic eyes, then in another part of the embryo another pair of eyes open, and then again and again.
Until there were twelve evil red eyes across the dark embryo. Each eye centered its gaze on Belphegor, their unending pressure all focused on him. Belphegor felt a primordial fear fill his entire body as if he were a bunny standing before a lion.
Suddenly a neck shot out of the embryo, and then another neck did the same. From the embryo, seven heads writhed and danced as the embryo condensed into an abdomen. The shape of the beast became clearer and clear, and suddenly a red flame ignited across its entire body.
The flames dissipated the darkness revealing a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Each dragon head had two red vertical slit eyes but the one on the center was different. It was a thinner and frailer head and only had one eye, a Yin's eye!
"No...it can't be! You were killed, how could you be Lucifer? It can't be possible!!!" Belphegor roared with increasing distress, fear filled his entire being as he edged back. Ye Yuyan's evil form was larger than the heavens completly dwarfing Belphegor's evil form.
"You can tell every Primal lurking in Hell that I'll be there to greet them soon." Lucifer's massive draconic form cackled maniacally in a booming and grating voice. Belphegor felt his entire body tense up with fear unable to move at all.
The red dragon growled as its main eye shown with a dark light, all the darkness particles in the entire Blood Sect gathered toward it in an instant. Trillions of particles seethed with excitement as the main head opened its mouth and gathered the particles into the vortex.
The other six heads joined in taking different parts of the vortex and adding billions of particles themselves. Suddenly the black vortex grew without end until it could even prop up the heavens and shatter the world.
"Devour!" The Red Dragon growled releasing the vortex's suction power, suddenly the entire world stopped, and the sky trembled! Everything under heaven shook, and it overthrew the earth in an instant, the heavens trembled as the red dragon swallowed the sky.
The intense heaven shattering power sucked in Belphegor in an instant, his evil form could not resist as the red dragon's power faintly rivaled that of a peak rank 5 cultivator.
The Sky Devouring Dragon swallowed up a fragment of the sky and Belphegor in one gulp, the area around the blood palace was completely shattered from the bite. The sky had completely disappeared, and all that was left was void space!
"Arrgg!" The Sky Devouring Dragon screeched to the heavens as the head to the left of the main head shone with a green light.
Its red eyes transformed into a dark green goat like eye and suddenly its red scales turned dark green as the power of gluttony filled the head.
