53 Reclaiming the Demon Throne Double Chapter (1/2)

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.
