58 Ascension of the Demon Lord Double Chapter (1/2)

In the skies of the Ye Clan, Ye Yuyan and Belphegor levitated in the air directly in front to one another. Belphegor smirked as dark green aura emanated from his childish body. The aura filled the air supplanting its position and slowly bearing down on Ye Yuyan's form.

”What can I say, I'm just too charismatic.” Ye Yuyan joked as he met Belphegor's demonic eyes with a calm and unperturbed gaze. His body constantly emanated a wispy dark aura that was almost imperceptible.

”Then I'll just have to take it all!” Belphegor licked his lips with desire as a dark green aura of greed tried to wrap around Ye Yuyan but the smoke would push back on its advance.

Belphegor watched the energies clash with furrowed brows and keen attention. Belphegor expression turned ashen when suddenly!

BOOM!

Without warning, the wispy dark energy congealed into something corporeal and blasted out into a ball of darkness. The dark green energy was quick to respond as it metamorphosed into physical form and blasted into the darkness.

Suddenly the two energies crashed into one another and the two forces collided constantly pushing at one another when,

BOOM!

The energies from the clash shot out into two directions splitting the sky in half. Dark green Qi filled half the sky and smoky dark Qi filled the other half. The Qis turned the sky into a battleground with a single confrontation.

Amidst the battlefield of Qi, Ye Yuyan and Belphegor's forms calmly lingered as if unaffected by the massive destruction. Belphegor swiped his hand across the sky, pushing away the lingering smoky Qi around him when suddenly he felt his blood run backward.

He grabbed towards his mouth covering as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The black blood bled through his fingers dripping down his hand as he looked up to Ye Yuyan's smirking expression.

Through the remnants of blood in his mouth, Belphegor snickered: ”With just this, you think you can absorb me? You'll just be my succulent feast.”

”I was never so arrogant as to think I could absorb a Venerable Demon.” Ye Yuyan laughed as he shook his head and reached into his robes.

From his robes, Ye Yuyan removed a clear tube with a stopper on the top. Inside of the tube was a strange white concoction that emanated a white light.

Belphegor felt his heart skip a beat as Ye Yuyan removed the clear tube, a powerful premonition appeared in his mind.

”That thing...” He tried to say but Ye Yuyan continued to speak.

”Come now... let's see who'll eat who.” Ye Yuyan said as he grabbed the stopper and pulled it off.

As the stopper opened, a world of infinite white light erupted. The sky became illuminated as a celestial sized star formed from the white light. Every portion of the world bathed in white light as the gigantic star grew to usurp the sun and stars in the sky.

Inside of the star, Belphegor's form drifted in the white light surrounded by a dark green barrier. In the barrier, he sat in lotus form with his hands in two concentrative mudras. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes rapidly moved as he tried to maintain the barrier.

Belphegor's eyes suddenly flashed open as he dispelled his mudras and stood up with the barrier still around him. He sent his perception out, scanning the light for Ye Yuyan.

When he realized he couldn't sense anything! White light obscured his senses entirely excluding the area around his barrier.

”What is this power?!?” Belphegor cursed angrily as he constantly released a dark green Qi to reinforce his barrier.

”Divine Qi of the Chaste Divine Body.” A whisper said entering Belphegor's ears, Belphegor eyes scanned around rapidly looking for the source of the whisper.

Every second he was in the white light, his barrier would corrode faster and faster. This was because of Divine Qi, it was a Qi specialized in expelling foreign energies.

Energies like that of Immortals and Demons which are not native to this world. This was the Qi that Song Yue awakened after she sat on the Blood Throne. Ye Yuyan extracted it from her and refined it for himself.

”Feeling hot?” A voice echoed from the white light, Ye Yuyan's figure journeyed through the white light with a membrane of darkness surrounding his body. Over his head, a flame flickered in the wind dancing across the white skies.

”How is your demon power surviving here?!?” Belphegor gritted his teeth and asked, he constantly reinforced his barrier as Ye Yuyan slowly approached.

”How naïve.” Ye Yuyan shook his head with contempt as the white flame flickered. The white cinders landed on his body instantly igniting him into a roaring white fire.

The flames engulfed Ye Yuyan's entire body and from the flames, a distorted and alien voice intoned: ”You treat me as a human or demon but I am neither.”

Inside of the white flames, Ye Yuyan's hands flickered as he put them straight out with his palms facing forward.

”I am a failed creation, a mistake made by the heavenly Dao.” His eyes danced with white flames as they peered at Belphegor ”I am neither human, demon, nor even immortal.”

Belphegor veins bulged on his forehead and he roared at Ye Yuyan: ”Then what the hell are you?!?”

Ye Yuyan coldly smirked as the flames danced off his body and engulfed the entire sky. The white flame flickered across the skies heading into the high heavens and touching on the golden firmament. The sky-high flames engulfed Belphegor barrier in one fell swoop.

”Ahhhh!” Belphegor's blood-curdling screams echoed from within the flames. The entire world melted within the flames turning it into a world of flickering white lights and sky-high flames. It was as if they were standing on the sun!

Ye Yuyan's left and right eye shone with black and white lights that infinitely circled one another, from their revolutions worlds would be born and die in an instant. This was the highest heavenly principle condensed into its true form.

”Goodbye, Belphegor.” Ye Yuyan chuckled as he disappeared into the white flames.

***********************

In the upper limits of the atmosphere, Ye Yuyan's body sat meditatively with his eyebrows furrowed. When suddenly his eyes flashed open, a black light lingered in his left eye and a white one in his right eye.

Around his body was a wispy black shroud that constantly generated, without the use of his Qi. Inside of his body, powerful bioelectricity shot through his meridians into the crystals throughout his acupoints, passively boosting his physical strength.

Ye Yuyan looked down from the top of the world and saw the blood city. The blood city was merely it's a description, its true name is Origin Soul City.

Ancient cultivators once thought Blood was the origin of the soul, they later proved this wrong. But this thought never fully disappeared and we still consider blood the origin of the soul. Ye Yuyan slowly stood up and turned his body upside down, he then suddenly stomped down on the air shooting forward.

BOOM!

He burst through the sound barrier, descending from the stratosphere at supersonic speeds. His body remained unfettered as the friction and gravitational forces bombarded him.

Ye Yuyan's body came crashing down into the Origin Soul City, crashing right in the center of the city. His tumultuous crash sent shock waves throughout the city, the merchants near his impact point all turned their attention towards the crash.

Ye Yuyan contained the force at the last second, making only a small crater where he landed. Ash and debris flew into the air, obscuring Ye Yuyan in sand and dust. An oily fat man in a turban looked on in shock as a black-robed figure emerged from amidst the ashes.
