Chapter 2: Devil inside him Part 2 (1/2)

”You might be a devil. But, don't forget I'm am a Great Emperor.” The Great Emperor showed a bit of annoyance when he got underestimated by the devil. He raised his hand and formed a massive palm in the sky.

”Jie! Jie! Jie! A Great Emperor, huh! What a nice meal? I wonder if it could awaken Heaven Exterminating Bloodline. No, now I should call it Primordial Darkness Bloodline.” The devil raised his finger and slashed the palm in half.

”I know you are an emperor. But, I have wasted enough energy with you. Now, let me devour you.” The devil raised his hand and formed dark energy encircled. That created a powerful suction force which started tearing the phantom.

”Demonic Sin of Gluttony- Devour!”

”Whattttt? Hopletely unaware of it. He had no idea what was happening in his body since he was unconscious.

In the village,

”Sir, we have found out the culprit. It was none other than the boy Qin Che. He stole the pendent and ran away. We have sent a group to chase him.” A middle-aged man wearing armor bowed down to a man in front of him and answered.

”Hmm! Ask them to bring Qin back alive. I don't want him dead.” The man fondles his black beard and spoke. He was wearing a black dress with a sword on his waist. His words startled the soldier but he still nodded his head and retreated.

”Brother, are really going to sit back and wait till those soldiers find our most precious treasure? And, why would you even want that kid alive?” Another man wearing a black dress shouted.

”You don't understand this, brother. That kid did steal it but he didn't steal it for himself. He doesn't even know what's in there. So, whoever stole it must be someone who has been planning this for a long time. What I want to know is whether that kid was a part of his plan from the start or it was just a fate.” The man kept fondling his beard as he spoke.

”Oh yeah! I never get a chance to ask this. What made that pendent so precious?” His brother looked at him with confusion and asked.

”You seriously don't know? Oh yeah! You never stayed in the house.” The man sighed as he moved his hand on his brother's shoulder and continued ”That pendant is a treasure passed down from generation. It has the blood of the Great Emperor.”

”Wait, what? Then why aren't we using it?” His brother asked with confusion when he heard those words.

”Of course, we can't use it. Do you think he is someone else? He was a great emperor from our own family. And, he thinks only when a person with incredible talent to be a Great Emperor get born in our family, then he can inherit this bloodline.” The man explains.

”Huh! Is our Tan family emperor an idiot? Why would he need a bloodline from Great Emperor if he already has the talent to be one?” His brother asks with the same confused face. Seeing this, the man sighed at his brother's unawareness.

”When you cultivate, you will find it very hard, right?” The man asked.

”Of course, cultivation is hard.” His brother replies.

”And, it takes years to cross one realm, doesn't it?” The man asked again.

”Of course, it does. I am forty-four but only in Qi Condensation Realm.” His brother nodded his head and answered.

”Then, what would you do to make it shorter and faster?” The man asked.

”We take pills. Why are you asking me such easy questions, brother?” His brother replied with a bit of annoyance.

”Well, just think of a bloodline like a pill. Except, it doesn't have any side effects. So, it will increase cultivation speed and you can again improve it by taking pills. Either way, Great Emperor found that if you reach that realm within the certain age, you can ascend to the highest realm but if you don't, then you will be stuck there forever.”

”That's why the Great Emperor doesn't want any trash to have that bloodline. As for why I am not sending anyone to retrieve it? Well, this isn't the first time it has got stolen. In fact, it has been stolen by our own family members many times in the past.”

”But, the thief was killed and the blood returned back to the family on its own. Since it is the Great Emperor, the second strongest realm in the world, nobody will dare to enrage him. But, all of these have been written off from the history and only passed down in our family and some other families.” The man finally finished explaining and looked at the setting sun.
