59 Venerable Decree (1/2)

Across the desert, hundreds of miles away from the Origin Soul city, a group of black-robed disciples ventured together. On the backs of the disciples was an embroidering of a seven-headed red dragon with each head having a different color.

At the head of the disciples was an immaculately dressed young man in black robes. His dark eyes shined like gemstones as they scanned the desert closely. This young man was none other than Ye Yuyan!

Ye Yuyan crossed the desert sands slowly as a red wind passed him by. The wind curved away from him as he emanated a wispy black aura that pushed it away. He took a few steps forward before suddenly stopping and furrowing his brows.

”This is the spot.” He said as he crouched down to the ground.

From the sea of black-robed disciples, a black-cloaked figure emerged. On his back was the same seven-headed dragon that disciples wore except his vaguely writhed as if alive.

The figure removed his hood revealing a greying hair and a stern expression. This was Alister after Ye Yuyan ascended the Demon Throne he started his plans to revitalize the Blood Sect.

During the time of Venerable Blood, the Blood Sect ruled supreme with multiple overlord level cultivators and a Venerable class cultivator but after the fall of Venerable Blood, the Blood Sect rapidly deteriorated.

The Blood Sect gathered the world's resources wantonly through murder and thievery drawing the ire of the world's denizens. With Venerable Blood gone, the world's strongest clans joined hands to destroy the blood sect.

Their attack caused untold damage and killed most of the overlords of the blood sect. In the world's history, there have only been eight Venerable class humans.

Because of the rarity of another Venerable's birth, overlords have ruled for most of the world's history. The power of an Overlord is not to be doubted because their power is unrivaled below the Venerables. The requirements to be crowned an overlord are to reach Rank 6 and master a law.

With the complete power of law, they can alter heaven and earth and summon the Qi of the world to crush an opponent.

Rank 5 cultivators have the power to fuse with heaven and earth within an area, but an Overlord can fuse with their entire planet and use the whole world as a part of themselves.

After losing the Overlords of the Blood Sect and Venerable Blood, the blood sect inheritance dwindled. They sealed themselves off from the world in a side world and slowly their power decreased.

Ye Yuyan pressed his palms together and closed his eyes, a dark essence wrapped around Ye Yuyan's body as he spoke saying:

”Let,

The light of darkness.

Devour,

The darkness of light.

Man is Demon,

Through and through.

Darkness,

Devours,

Light.”

”Awaken!” He roared and turned his palms out releasing two massive waves of darkness. The waves of dark particles rippled as the crashed into a thin membrane in the desert sky. The darkness wrapped around the membrane turning the clearness of the barrier and staining it black.

Suddenly the darkness seethed with excitement and stabbed into the barrier. Hundreds of holes appeared around the barrier's membrane slowly ripping it open.

The darkness wrapped the area around for tens of miles as it cut down the barrier. The red winds and sand dunes in the area turned into nothingness as the barrier came down revealing a gigantic temple stretching hundreds of meters!

Around the temple were various pavilions, halls, towers, and the other constructions littered about. In the gardens of the buildings, weeds grew and in the cracks of the houses was a parasitic moss.

Not a soul lingered in the dark decrepit streets of this ghost school but that didn't deter Alister. Alister stood slack-jawed with awe as he gazed upon the decrepit old city. He fell to his knees and buried his head in the sand.

”The Demon Sect's ancestral home...I have finally returned.” He sobbed with happiness with his head still on the ground, his thankful tears silently dripped onto the red sand unseen by anyone.

Ye Yuyan walked up to Alister, who raised his head in response. With reddened eyes and a blank expression, he looked up at Ye Yuyan's cold countenance.

Ye Yuyan reached into his robes and removed a black dagger, Ye Yuyan released a powerful bloodlust activating the dagger. The dagger elongated turning into a dual-edged sword and with a swift motion, Ye Yuyan put the sword right above Alister's right shoulder.

”I grant ye, Alister. The title of Supreme Elder of the Demon Lineage Sect.” Ye Yuyan commanded as he tapped the sword on Alister's left shoulder and motioned for him to stand up.

Alister felt his body suddenly fill up with untold darkness particles, the intense fluctuations of demon Qi instantly condensed towards his stomach.

The energy diffused through his meridians and past his acupoints until it condensed into a Demon Core in the center of his body. The intense demonic Qi in the city twisted as the demonic core spun rapidly. Alister's eyes filled with darkness as the power of the demon fused into his body.
