Chapter 530: Heresy (2/2)
From below just above Naor's navel came God's Mark that reinforced his body, ”The Origin Race, had been standing atop the Cosmos for so long since the beginning of time, or at least when the All-Father established its existence with the creation of night and day.
”We have been the strongest next to him, and then, the Deities appeared with the Mother of Beast… and what did you think happened then?” Naor asked, but the Revenants were too busy trying to retrieve their swords back to answer, thus, his words continued, ”The Origin Race lost, or at least, the Second and First Generation beat the Emperors and the GodKing. As for the ones below us, it was a fair fight… Kings, and the third generation below, were equals… but somehow us the Emperors and GodKings could not match our counterparts.
”At first, we did not mind the loss, infuriated, but that was natural. However, the Deities, used their victory as leverage to claim the Mother of Beast was the one who stands at the top and our Father was subpar. So, in retaliation in wanting to reclaim our Father's name, we copied the Deities…
”From Beasts, Cultivation was born and we Emperors and GodKings won by surprising them. However, after the victory, we realized our mistakes and sealed their use. Only when we fight in the battlefield, against the Deities outside of the All-Father's eyes who do not like to see fights can it be unleashed.”
The Revenants heard his words and, in that moment, saw it through their crimson, Devil Eyes. Inside Naor's body, they saw a marble, forming in his body. Just above his navel, something was coming out of the crimson light of the Origin Race's lineage. When the Blood Essence pulled back, something appeared… something from the Era where cultivation began… something, truly mundane—a Dantian.
Naor's body crawled with more and more blackness rolling out of the Dantian. A Devil's Dantian, in form, was similar to a Human's or an Elves, or a Beastmen of the past Era. Of course, in the current Era, the Dantian had long been replaced by the Nirvanic Nucleus.
Devils, upon stepping outside of their worlds were already treated as a Rank-9 cultivator and beyond. However, unlike the Mortal Races, they do not cultivate. Only their hellish qi and its density were measured and even then, it was incalculable.
Time resumed as normal for Naor, and yet the swords had not taken a limb from him much less his head, ”Do you know what is considered Heresy in my Race's eyes? Is it thinking the All-Father is but a useless tale? Or if we kill other beings he had created? No… it is the modification of our body… our form.”
This Hellish qi was not cultivated. It had existed within them and grows as they grow older, if Devils strengthen themselves then it will gradually increase as per usual. They grow strong even without trying, they were born in such a way and have their lives dedicated to following their own paths.
Now, imagine, if such a being begins cultivating…
”We changed ourselves as if we were ashamed of how the All-Father created us. This power… is our shame, yet it is our greatest weapon. Only the highest Deities know of this shame, and their silence is the only thing keeping us Emperors and GodKings from annihilating the Beasts when they disappeared—as for you, Revenants, however—”
Naor moved his head, and limbs broke their swords, and drew his spear out of his chest in a single arc! His instincts still did not allow him to use half of his strength, but—
SLASH!
The Revenants' bodies were cleaved in half and tens of thousands of kilometers away, everything was destroyed.
Even without half his strength, Naor slew the Revenants.
”—I cannot allow you to know of our Heresy.”
