Capítulo 54: Demon Stars
Inside the Blood Palace, the darkness enveloping the halls faded away. The various green eyes closed as the slaughter Qi left their forms all shooting towards the gates. Maven and Song Yue stood on the blood steps as the dark wind past the body.
Near the throne was Alister, a dark green light slowly left his eyes as his consciousness returned. As the dark qi escaped, Maven and Song Yue felt their bodies lighten up as if someone lifted a weight off their shoulders. Song Yue looked over at Alister's whose consciousness was being restored.
"Alister, he's gone now." Song Yue laughed with a devious grin.
Maven dusted his body off as he got up and looked towards the gates of the palace. The palace doors flew open suddenly as the Qi escaped into the outside world.
"Ahhh! This qi what is it?!?" Maven's mouth opened wide with shock as an intense Qi rippled at the edge of his perception. He could feel an almost imperceptible gigantic being come into being outside of the palace.
Song Yue and Alister noticed Maven's shock and branched out their perceptions to the limit. Song Yue's eyes opened suddenly as she exclaimed: "This qi...it's unimaginable! Who is generating such power?"
"It's Master...he's slain the demon." Alister calmly intoned, Maven turned to look at Alister meeting his serious gaze and slightly nervous expression.
"Let's go see." Song Yue said with a childish smile, she covered her smile with her hand as she levitated. Her body suddenly burst out flying with her childish laughs echoing behind her.
Maven and Alister remained on the steps of the throne, Maven looked over at Alister who was staring at the ground and spoke to him: "You needn't worry so much, the master knows your merit."
Alister exhaled a slow sigh as he looked up from the ground and said back to him: "That doesn't worry me. A primal emanation in control of the Demon Throne, what of the Human and Immortal Thrones?"
"I see..." Maven replied without emotion as he scanned over Alister's expression. Alister shook his head and said to Maven: "Let's go greet the master."
Alister surrounded himself with blood forces and burst into a red light shooting through the palace, Maven did the same turning into a cyan beam of light. The two beams shot through the palace reaching Song Yue in seconds.
The three beams of light shot through the palace gates, shooting into the real world. The three beams emerged as light motes and slowly coalesced into Song Yue, Maven, and Alister.
The moment Song Yue appeared she turned her gaze towards the sky and noticed that it was pitch black. This darkness was unlike the darkness of night, it was darker and almost sinister. The horrid darkness filled the entire heavens as if it was without an end.
"What is this?" She questioned as she looked around for the Qi she felt before. Suddenly a gigantic torrent of Qi washed over her and her companions. Song Yue's eyes dilated violently when suddenly:
BOOM!
"Arrrrgggg!" A heaven shattering roar filled her ears with rattling, as the echoes transmitted worldwide.
The death throes of the shout tore apart distant lands and homes in an instant. The darkness of the skies rippled violently as a dragon head with a jewel-encrusted diadem shot out from the darkness.
Six other heads shot out of the darkness all with diadem crowns, they writhed and danced sinisterly as its legs and abdomen shot out from the dark. A red flame danced across its horrid body revealing a gigantic sky-devouring red dragon!
Shock waves transmitted throughout Song Yue's body as the dragon revealed itself, its abominable Qi filled the sky with a dreadful and gloomy feeling that left the soul writhing in pain.
"What is that thing?!?!" Song Yue muttered as her body edged back taking a few hesitant steps. Maven walked up behind Song Yue and patted her back to console her before he spoke.
"It's the master, look at the top of the Crowned Head." Maven then pointed towards the top of a frail head with a black nomological pattern across its scale. It was unlike the other heads only had one eye, and it was an Eye of Heaven!
Sitting atop the head, was a young man dressed in black robes. He sat in lotus form with his eyes tightly shut; he held his hands in a Dhyana Mudra. Around him was a roiling current of darkness, the deep darkness filled his body with a demonic charm as it emanated into the skies.
"What is he doing?" Song Yue turned to Alister and asked. Alister glanced sideways at Song Yue and bit his lips in hesitation but he ultimately spoke.
"In the Demon Sect, there are two requirements to ascend the throne." Alister gazed up at the sky as he spoke not bothering to face Song Yue.
He raised one finger and said: "One is to absorb a fragment of the black sea."
Alister then raised another finger making two and said: "Two is to complete a demon root."
"What does that do? What's the point of all that effort?" Song Yue shook her head doubtfully.
Alister shook his head and replied: "It's not just a ceremony, it's a decree by Ancestor Blood!"
"This demon root, Belphegor had one too?" Maven asked probing for answers.
Alister glanced and Maven and went silent for a moment before replying: "Yes and he absorbed part of the black sea, he even granted some of his followers its waters."
Before Alister could continue another surge of Qi happened as the sky devouring dragon bellowed: "Arrrrgg!"
Boom!
A massive sea of Qi enveloped the heavens as a celestial red river cut across the horizon. This gigantic river roiled and streamed across the sky with a never-ending surge of weapons dancing across its waters.
Various golden sword intents and treasured weapons glittered amidst the river's violent currents. The red river curved in from the horizon and wrapped around the red dragon. The river turned into a red ring around the dragon releasing various powerful sword intents.
Atop the red dragon, Ye Yuyan's left eye suddenly flashed open. The white sclera of his eye inked with primordial darkness, the darkness extended to the edge of his pupils when suddenly a white light shot out. The light-filled his entire pupil with immortal light, resisting the advance of primordial darkness.
"Arrrggghhh!" Ye Yuyan clenched his teeth as he left out a low growl, the deep growl transmitted reverberations throughout the blood sect.
The ground trembled, and the heavens cracked, all throughout the sect the deep growl emanated filling everyone's eardrums with its majesty. Inky darkness escaped from Ye Yuyan's body, the thin dark aura resembled smoke as its pitch black power escaped into the atmosphere.
The smoky dark aura coalesced slowly in the sky condensing into a dark point, then it repeated forming another dark point next to the first. Then again, and again until it reached seven dark points in the sky.
"The root of a demon..." Alister gazed at the seven stars with glazed over eyes. This was the Demon Root, all the demonic paths originate from the demon root. It is the seven principle laws of the demon clan, and with this root, one could achieve the realm of a Venerable Demon!
The seven points pulsed sending rhythmic vibrations through the air like a beating heart. A black tendril shot out of the first star and connected the second, then the second did the same. The process repeated until a tendril connected every star.
The points released a smoky essence as they expanded, with each pulse they would grow ten meters bigger. The stars pulsated for over a minute releasing hundreds of pulses a second.
They grew until they eclipsed the sun and moon and easily dwarfed over the Blood Sect. The entire sect looked like a speck compared to the majesty of the seven celestial bodies.
"Primal power of pride!" Ye Yuyan intoned and raised one finger releasing dark energy and shooting it out at the first star.
It pulsed again as a series of nomological patterns engraved across its massive form; the patterns moved at supersonic speeds as they embroidered themselves together perfectly circling the entire star.
"Primal power of greed!" Ye Yuyan intoned again this time raising a different finger, the green head of the dragon writhed as a green essence filled Ye Yuyan's body. Green eyes appeared all across his body and blinked simultaneously as a dark green beam shot out of Ye Yuyan's finger.
The beam dissected across the second star filling it with nomological patterns, across the entire star appeared an array of green eyes blinking rhythmically.
The first star burst into a ball of black flames shining with a dark and releasing a smoky qi. The second star burst into a ball of green flames as it released a wispy dark green qi.
"Hah!" Ye Yuyan exhaled and suddenly the red dragon's body violently seethed. The red ring exploded with power as it expanded without end. The river grew until it rivaled a planetary body and was even larger than the demon root!
The red river roiled violently tearing apart the blood sect, the river's every motion whipped up sandstorms in the desert and shattered sand dunes in an instant.
Alister's body trembled as the red river grew and even Maven and Song Yue lost their balance amidst the intense power. The cracks in the sky grew until they turned into massive spatial rifts into the void.
"This much power...it'll destroy the entire world! Is he trying to kill us all?!?" Song Yue yelled to Alister as she fell to her knees from the crushing weight of the red river's energies.
The red river's currents washed across the entire blood world when suddenly Ye Yuyan raised his palm face up and brought it down silently.
The stars suddenly vibrated as they followed this gesture and suddenly the demonic stars fell from the sky like shooting stars. Seven suns fell down from the heavens towards the massive red river inundating the realm with a myriad of flames.
"Arrrgghhh!" The red dragon roared as the demonic stars crashed down into the red river!
