Rise of the Demon God

“So you’re still alive?! Are you the reason I couldn’t devour you? You are still holding onto that futile resistance?” Tian Shen asked, feeling that Long Chen had somehow resisted this formation, resolution in this failure.

In his rage, he appeared right before Long Chen, his hand grabbing onto his throat. “This time, I will kill you myself before devouring you!”

He applied force on his hands, trying to crush Long Chen’s throat. But strangely enough, he couldn’t crush it. He felt as if he was a mortal who was trying to crush a metal rod with bare hands.

“You ruined my reincarnation… Because of you, I had to wake up sooner than I wanted… Because of you, I couldn’t experience what it was like to truly live as a peaceful mortal… But worst of all, you killed the ones I granted my blessing…” Long Chen spoke.

Although his voice was still the same as the past, but something was inherently different about him. It was as if he had lived for millions of years.

Even the Demonic Ancestor didn’t have that air around him. Looking in those eyes, Tian Shen felt a strange feeling as if he was just a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things.

“Your blessing? Mortal life? Do you think you can fool me with such an act?” he asked as he pulled out his sword, thrusting it forward.

Unfortunately, before the sword could even touch Long Chen, it stopped. Looking down, Tian Shen noticed Long Chen’s fingers holding onto the sword.

His sword was a god tier weapon, but right before his eyes, he could feel cracks developing on the sword.

His pupils trembled as he saw the sword shatter into a thousand pieces.

“Impossible!” he exclaimed in disbelief. “W-who are you?”

He flew back, not believing that this was Long Chen. However he also knew it wasn’t Tian Shen.

“My bloodline doesn’t belong to people like you. You stole my blessing. I’ll be taking it back,” Long Chen stated, raising his right hand.

Tian Shen was flying back when he felt as if his entire body was frozen against his will. He felt his blood boiling like molten lava.

All the Bloodline Essence of the Ancestral God that he had stolen started coming out of his chest, making him feel like he was being stabbed by thousands of needles.

“Stop it! It belongs to me! You can’t take it from me! You can’t take it!” Tian Shen roared, but he couldn’t even resist. He could only feel like a puppet, whose strings were in someone else’s hands.

In the blink of an eye, years of his hardwork in gathering the bloodline essence was destroyed. His bloodline was taken from him by Long Chen.

In an instant, Tian Shen seemed to have aged without the bloodline essence. Along with his bloodline, all his life essence and cultivation was also taken. His spirit roots were left destroyed, making him unable to ever cultivate again.

Tian Shen’s hair turned white. His young handsome face turned wrinkled and old, like he was a man in his eighties. His back also arched along with his vision and hearing getting weaker. He was no different than an old mortal. lightsnovel

Feeling the despair of losing everything he had worked for, Tian Shen’s body trembled as tears of blood streamed down his face.

“You destroyed me! Kill me!” Tian Shen roared. He didn’t know who was inside Long Chen to make him this strong, but he preferred to die than live the life of an old mortal without any cultivation.

From being the strongest of the world, he had gone on to become the weakest, the beings that he considered trash not even worthy to crawl under his feet. Now he was a part of these insects.

“Death? Death shall be mercy for you for all you’ve done!” Long Chen spoke, his eyes calm yet furious.

Because of Tian Shen, he was always racing against time, defeating the entire purpose of his rebirth. Because of Tian Shen, he had to suffer so much and at the end, return to his old self. But more importantly, he was furious that Tian Shen had killed the family that he had blessed.

Tian Shen didn’t realize that the reason he didn’t have a complete bloodline wasn’t because some remaining Member of that bloodline was still alive. It was simply because Long Chen hadn’t transferred a complete bloodline because the family was weak and not strong enough to accept the blessing of a complete bloodline.

He never had a chance to complete the bloodline before it wasn’t complete in the first place. If Tian Shen had remained satisfied with all the strength he received from that bloodline and not been greedy for more, he wouldn’t have had to see a day like this.

Moreover, although Long Chen had a bad life in his early years, but that’s exactly what the Ancestral God wanted for his reincarnation. He wanted to understand human relations and suffering. But because of Tian Shen, everything had changed. The purpose of his bloodline had changed into something completely different.

“You will not be able to die for as long as you want. You’ll have to live as the weakest mortal, being walked over by all you considered an insect! You’ll have to grow old yet be unable to die! And when you find a reason to live and don’t want to die, you’ll die the most gruesome of death along with all your loved ones!”

Long Chen’s words were the will of the universe. As if listening to his words, the heaven itself reacted. A portal opened behind Tian Shen. By a mysterious force, he was pushed inside the portal.

Tian Shen was tossed out of the portal in a mortal world, his eyes still blank in disbelief. He didn’t understand just who he had messed with.

“You ant, how dare you block my path!” While Tian Shen was standing still in a daze, he felt a kick on his chest which sent him flying.

He felt as if his bones had broken, a gruesome pain. Unfortunately, it didn’t kill him.

As he stood up, he noticed that it was just a bulky mortal who had attacked him.

“A mere insect like him dares to trample on this Lord?” he exclaimed, his old arrogance still seeping in his bones.

Unfortunately for him, the bulky man heard him. He walked to Tian Shen. “What did you say, old man?”

Grabbing Tian Shen by his throat, he punched him in the stomach repeatedly until Tian Shen was coughing out blood.

That was just the start of Tian Shen’s mystery as the bottom tier in a cruel mortal society….
