4 First Revolution (1/2)

The demonic light in Illathar's eyes faded as his massive body collapsed on the ground. His blue blood made the soil into permafrost.

The red mist receded into the lotus and it wilted and disappearing behind Ye Yuyan. The serpent went along with as it fused into his body.

Ye Yuyan eyes went back to their regular blue and his sword decreased in size until it was a regular black dagger. Ye Yuyan took the dagger and put it inside his robe, his face looked bloodless and pale under the moonlight.

He looked over at the destroyed village and then he noticed Illathar's gigantic body start to decrease in size.

He jumped over to it just in time, to see in the center of Illathar was Gulan. Along Gulan's chest was a crescent slash, he had died instantly from the final slash

Ye Yuyan removed a scroll and released a few thousands hand seals onto Gulan's body. Then from his body sprung forward a frost bull demon soul. It was Illathar's fragment of his fiend soul. In summoning him, Gulan brought a part of Illathar's true soul to the mortal world and fused with it.

Illathar's soul fragment must fuse with the host body for him to get any of the memories of what happened here. Otherwise, Ye Yuyan would never dare reveal his bloodline like that. Anyone who sees the lotus must die!

Ye Yuyan took the soul and sealed it inside a scroll. On Gulan's body was a bamboo gourd, Ye Yuyan walked over and grabbed it.

He unsealed the cork and slowly analyzed the gourd.

”A sealing gourd.” Ye Yuyan said with a smug grin as he looked at the holy symbol on the corner of the gourd.

It was a 9-pointed star formed from 9 different colored swords. This was the symbol of the Verulyim Holy Sacrament, a powerful order that trained Knights, Exorcists, and even Demon Sealers.

Ye Yuyan moved quickly to extract the blood of Illathar's decaying Evil Form. He got the blood and put it inside the gourd, this gourd could be used to hold demonic materials and liquids.

”An investigation team from the capital should be here soon.” Ye Yuyan said as he looked over at the horizon.

”I need to heal my injuries and replenish my blood energy. Then I can go to the Verulyim kingdom's capital.” Ye Yuyan said as he looked off into the east, his eyes flashing with an ominous light.

His eyes scanned to the east and he saw a quick pathway. He jumped forward and moved at high speeds as he scanned across the paths.

Where he was currently at is The Desolate Range, a mountain range that separates the eastern and western lands. There were a few untraversable valleys around that were known to house powerful beings but he made sure to avoid it.

At the most center of the range was a mountain that stretched in the firmament. Most people would not climb it but instead, go around it slowly. That made traveling from the east to west quite a long journey.

There were a few villages on this path, but with the attack of beasts, they are often destroyed. Only villages guarded by the kingdom survived. Ye Yuyan jumped a few miles before he stopped near the top of the last mountain before entering the eastern lands.

He approached the mountain and took out his dagger. He cut open a hole into the mountain, a small room for himself. Then he jumped inside it and sealed the hole. He sat down in a meditative stance and reached into his robes and removing three scrolls, the gourd, and his dagger.

He unfurled the three scrolls, one was the primordial tree stub, the other two were Illathar's soul fragment, and the last was the baleful energies.

'Before I enter the capital, I need to absorb Illathar's power.' Ye Yuyan calculated as he looked at the scrolls in front of him.

Humanity had 3 conventional paths for power before them. Sealing, Chivalry, and the mysterious bloodline path.

The first path involves sealing powerful existences within oneself. Conventionally that means sealing demons.
