Grace Mainland
Second Demon Area
In the Hall of Demogorgon,
Leylin stood in the back of an abysmal area, more than seven hundred members of the Demon Clan riding their beasts were gathered here.
The wall of the hall was also black as if it was made of black, rigid metal. Some precious gems were inlaid on the wall, illuminating the passage as some magical demon patterns, which looked like the lines on a human palm. They were complicated and mysterious at the same time.
An ancient, spacious grand palace appeared in his sight. This palace was one thousand meters tall, with an open center, in an area of ten miles squared. The center of this palace had many giant black pillars decorated with drawings of demonic beasts.
Demon scriptures were carved on the walls outside the palace. Each paragraph was inexplicably complicated, as though it was carrying a mysterious power.
A deep pond sat in the center of the palace, where a black flame was burning, releasing a thick Demon Qi. Standing in the center of the black flame in the pond were seven ferocious-looked Demogorgon statues. Each of them was a hundred meters tall, as lively as a real person, with ruthless energy waves
Leylin ignored everyone around him and took a walk around the place.He observed the patterns and drawings on the pillars and on the walls, as he wanted to see if he could understand the mysteries of those drawings.
“A.I.Chip record everything.”
Leylin stood by that pond as he lifted his head to watch the grand statues.
His existence stuck like a sore thumb because all the clansmen of the Demon Clan kneeled down by the pond, using the worshiping etiquette of the Demon Clan with solemn faces.
Leylin didn’t care and just walked solemnly observing everything and ignoring everyone.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle!
Suddenly strange noises came from a wall of the Hall of Demogorgon, as if someone was setting a fire behind it.
Leylin who was getting bored from waiting turned his head towards the commotion as various demon clansmen jolted, walking to that corner with surprised and happy faces.
The Hall of Demogorgon cracked open a slit. Two huge demons with horrendous undulation around them walked through, bringing with them several thousands of warriors of the Demon Clan and their mounts.
Leylin knew these two, they were the masters of the two most ancient demon families.
Leader of Black family of the Demonic Clan, Third Sky of True God Realm, Serret Black. A man in his thirties. He had long black hair draped over his shoulder, and looked handsome in a gray robe. He was imposingly majestic. A strange triangle mark lied in the center of his forehead, shimmering with an evil, gloomy halo.
The other was Leader of Damon family of the Demonic Clan, Dalon Damon also Third Sky of True God Realm.
Despite their extremely high cultivation realm they both looked a little bit distressed. They had blood on their bodies. They seemed to be exhausted with different levels of damage. Their auras were also weaker than usual.
“Masters” Aart and Jima, two vassals of the two demon clan leaders kneeled down on one knee, shouting in a low tone. They both were a leader figures themselves with True God Realm cultivation.
Serret Black waved his hand to lift them up. Suddenly, his eyes got brighter as he saw Leylin. He nodded to the young man. “Kid, you’re here.”
He looked tired, but he still walked directly towards Leylin, and didn’t notice that Aart and Jima hadn’t stood up yet. His deep eyes gazed on Leylin, his face astounded.
The evil looking Dalon Damon seemed to have worse wounds than Serret. He looked as if he had sunk in blood. He also walked towards Leylin. At first glance, he cried, “Ah, you got the demon soul sacrificial altar?”
“Nonsense!” Serret Black cursed him. “This kid has the noblest blood of our Demon Clan. Isn’t it natural that he got the inheritance from this Hall?”
“I have good fortune. How about you guys? The other clans hadn’t hurt you badly, had they?” Leylin smiled.
“Don’t talk about it. Fuck the patriarch of the Ghost Mark Clan. That asshole’s revived. He has a cultivation base of King God Realm. If his power had been recovered fully, we would have had no chance to return here. So annoying… They’re so annoying! If I had known it earlier, I would have killed the Ghost Mark Clan first,” Dalon thundered. “And that bastard of the Dark Clan could control tens of thousands of Yin spirits and hollow souls. He’s also morbid. It’s lucky that we’re strong. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to meet you again.”
“I have seen him once, although he doesn’t have a physical body his soul is extremely robust. In my opinion he was probably a God King Realm warrior before his demise and although he hasn’t recovered much of his God power but with the Yin Spirit Ghost Flame he’s quite formidable.” Leylin remarked.
“He’s quite a nuisance.”
“Okay, stop babbling. It’s good that we could come back here. We shouldn’t waste time,” Serret intervened. He looked at Leylin with a solemn countenance. “Are you ready?”
Leylin shook his head. “By being ready, I guess you mean opening the First Demon Area but I heard Jima said that it needs one-third of the Grace Mainland’s heaven and earth energy to open the First Demon Area. Is it true?”
Dalon intervened, “If not, why would the four clans chase us crazily?”
“It speeds up the rate of destruction the entire Grace Mainland,” Leylin said and continued, “If the heaven and earth energy is running out, not to mention the four clans and the Human Clan, the Demon Clan will also find it hard to level up.”
“Berkan although we don’t know each other for long, I think I know what kind of person you are. Your vision is broad and understanding is impeccable.” Serret didn’t change his visage. “Even if we don’t do anything, energy on Grace Mainland will run out one day, you know that don’t you?”
Leylin nodded. “Obviously.”
Serret beamed a forced smile. “That little time doesn’t work. Once the heaven and earth energy is emptied out, as the martial art practitioners, we will face a lot of disasters. If it has to be that way, we’d better open the First Demon Area and find the seven great Demogorgon statues. Then, we’ll see if we can find any solution. At least, Dalon and I can take the chance and break through to the King God Realm. At that time, we are eligible to leave this place. We will be responsible for the Demon Clan to find another foreign land, which is suitable for our clan to live and cultivate. Then, we will help the Human Clan to leave too.”
Leylin stood unaffected under his words.
All members of the Demon Clan inside the Hall of Demogorgon kept silent, looking at Leylin.
They all knew that Leylin was the key factor for opening the First Demon Area. If he didn’t want to co-operate with them, their hope would be extinguished.
Years have passed since Leylin went to the Dead Soul Mountain and the Dark Spirit Clan breakthrough into the Grace Mainland.
Right after that incident, Leylin distant himself with the worldly affairs and troubles of the seven ancient factions. He only focused on increasing his realm and further progressing in his path.
During this period of cultivation, chaos imbued in the Divine Land prompted Leylin to be always on the move but he didn’t actively involve himself.
And after breaking through to Second Sky of Spirit Realm and reaching another bottleneck Leylin decided to pay a visit to the ancient burial grounds of the Demonic Sound Clan.
It was at that place called Shady Firmament Old Mound, one of the forbidden lands in Divine Land that all hell broke loose.
Apparently not just Leylin but many powerhouses from different factions gathered there to explore the area. The reason for that was the rumours that Shady Firmament Old Mound confines the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame!
It’s ranked second among the heaven flames. In the Immemorial Epoch, it had gained intellect inside billions of lightning strikes.
Knowing this piece of juicy information even Leylin was stimulated but alas everyone’s greed was their biggest downfall.
Unfortunately for everyone the Shady Firmament Old Mound wasn’t only the holding place of the World Extinguishing Thunder Flame but it was also the confinement of the Ghost Mark Clan.
Ghost Mark Clan was one of the ten clans in the Immemorial Epoch. Just like the Dark Spirit Clan, they were once so powerful that nothing could compare to them.
In the Antiquity Time, mankind was at the bottom, far under the ten other races. But later on, the powers of nature changed. The strongest clans started to decline, giving way to mankind thriving.
After hundreds of years of savage battle and brutal confrontations, humans ultimately won and all the other clans were either confined, imprisoned or had to retreat into isolation to maintain their bloodline.
But as fate would have it, the meddling of all the powerhouses in the Shady Firmament Old Mound as well as their greed freed one such dangerous race. For tens of thousands of years Ghost Mark Clan have been sealed away in a closed isolated and desolate space unable to see the light of day, but finally Ghost Mark Clan was able to break free.
Before regret can settle on everyone, fear and panic erupted as they discovered in horror that two of those Ghost Mark Clan members were actually True God Realm Warriors!
Leylin who was able to timely predict the strangeness of the situation as well as thanks to the remainder from his heaven flame, immediately used his newly cultivated Space Power Upanishad and broke through the void to retreat before the two True God Realm Warriors could recover their powers.
Leylin was able to save himself but others weren’t so lucky, and because of the few greedy fellows in the Shady Firmament Old Mound the whole mankind has to pay a bloody price.
Leylin still remembers that day vividly, despite just escaping from a potentially lethal situation Leylin was exceptionally calm.
He looked at the sun, the moon, and the stars as they all appeared at the same time in the sky. Countless dazzling light dots exploded. Space was torn open, revealing many cracks. From those cracks, the aura of powers that didn’t belong to the Grace Mainland were diffusing.
Under such a phenomenon, many peak experts of the Grace Mainland felt scared, as they could sense the strange anomaly of the power in their bodies.
It was called “Cracks of the Blue Dome of Heaven” and the consequences were that the Void Lock was crushed.
Ten Ancient Clans that were locked away and confined into solitude, finally broke free from their thousands of years of imprisonment.
From Ghost Make Clan in Shady Firmament Old Mound, to Dark Spirit Clan of Dead Soul Mountain Range, Devil Dark Clan in Seven-layered Underworld and Demon Clan in the Four Demon Area.
The Dark Clan, the Dark Spirit Clan, the Demon Clan, Corpse Clan, the Monster Clan, and the Ghost Mark Clan were the alien tribes that had disappeared for dozens of thousands of years. But now, they had escaped the foreign lands and returned to the Divine Great Land. This was the additional brush stroke for this long-term calamity.
Devastation, demolition, genocide were brutal fate that Humanity had to face. All the human forces all over the Grace Mainland faced the thousands of years of resentment and hatred from all the pagan tribes at once. The results were rather obvious.
In just a short while the whole structure of humanity changed, their kingdoms were razed, tribes destroyed, settlement uprooted, whole areas were painted in blood.
The brutal genocide and unrestrained killing without any remorse filled the whole world with wailing of the decreased. The innocent, wicked, cultivators, humans, royals, poor there were no distinction as only death embraced them indiscriminately.
There were innumerable experts among the pagan tribes, the change in the Qi of Grace mainland even further stimulated their growth and recovery. Those pagan tribes with their complete inheritance and a proper accommodating environment had all the capitals to erase the human clan rule over the Grace Mainland.
Every major human force had to join hands just to survive, but even then they paid a bloody price.
And among all this chaos one human emerged with a glorious name.
That was none other than Leylin. Leylin who was already an abnormal existence found opportunity in tragedy. Such a volatile and cruel battlefield where massacre was mundane is what he thrived in.
His powers skyrocketed and what the truesoul clone in Grace Mainland didn’t know was that because of Leylin’s main body successful ascension into the Rank 8, he was able to create a fable connection between his soul and the two other truesoul providing them with some of his goldy powers.
Although not so sure why, Leylin observed that his ability and powers were increasing drastically. Even without breaking through to True God Realm, Leylin was able to hold his own against most of the pagan tribe hotshots and was even able to successful slay a few weaker True God Realm Warriors.
But his list of targets didn’t only have the Pagan hotshots, even a few human top powerhouses breathe their last air against him. Leylin wasn’t a bit rascit and was willing to act against anyone as long as the rewards were good enough.
He reaped endless benefits in just a short while and his powers were increasing day by day, his path was clear and understanding improved.
After a while of killing and plundering, he moved to the Endless Sea and with his outstanding knowledge of a blacksmithship that he inherited from the Blacksmith’s Secret of Success which was the life essence of a Divine Grade as well as the many treasures he took from others Leylin created an impenetrable fortress.
As the humans in the world were living in misery, fear and grimace Leylin created a safe heaven for humanity but obviously the only ones inside were his own people.
The Alaister family, Lenoir family, Three God Sect, Demonic sound clan and Wings Clan, these were the main forces under him.
The Immortal Island in the Kyara Sea was the only place in the whole Endless Sea and for the most part the whole Grace Mainland that was standing firm in these troubled times.
In the beginning Leylin obviously considered only caring about his skin and not bother with all those affiliated with him. Leylin was always clear about his priorities, in such a dangerous time he wasn’t going to hold himself back by lodging dead weights.
Usually he would have left everyone and simply cared about himself, Leylin is sure that as long as he used the guerrilla tactics hide to save himself recuperating, and seek to devour others he could benefit tremendously.
But the reason why he didn’t because the environment of the Grace Mainland has changed. He didn’t really think much of it before till Ghost Hunter who was always with him broke through to Rank 9 which is as powerful as a True God Realm powerhouse.
It then hit him that those who he considered dead weight might not be so, because if the changes of the Grace mainland can stimulate the growth rate of Ghost Hunter who is a mixed breed of demon and dark clan then what about the two Wing Race and Demonic sound clan?
With this in mind, Leylin returned and as expected almost all of the Wing race and Demonic Sound clan members broke through. Dallas, Yashila, Yemen, Dominik, Kassius all five broke through a minor realm.
In the Alaister family, Abaddon had already broken through to Second Sky of Spirit realm and although just a Spirit realm warrior but in a fight for survival he used his inferior cultivation to suppress a True God Realm warrior!
And after that desperate brutal fight, he broke through to the Third Sky of Spirit Realm!
Charlotte Orpheus of the Three Gods Sect who was always extremely fast in her cultivation also reached Third Sky of Spirit Realm and was comparable to a weaker True God Realm Warrior.
With Ghost Hunter, King Abaddon, Charlotte with their competence comparable to True God Realm and an impenetrable fortress commanded by Leylin that no one under God King could destroy it.
Although there were many powerhouses in pagan tribes who were extremely formidable but it would take time for them to recover their ability. Quite infact most of the pagans haven’t even recovered half of their strength but they already pushed humanity to a brink of extinction.
Many confident pagans tried to barge into Leylin’s castle and destroy the hope of humanity but they paid a bloody price. With this fame, more and more survivors were attracted towards Immortal island to take shelter.
Even many arrogant and haughty forces like Caddell Family and Martial Palace, Barbarian Sect, Yin Yang Wonderland who were defeated by sudden appearance of pagans were left with just a remant force and had to seek refuge in Immortal island.
Everyone became clear that unless those peak existence with unfathomable power reappeared it was nigh impossible to break through.
But while others wait to accumulate their strength, Leylin was making progress at a ridiculous speed as he broke through to True God Realm after just a year in the Endless Sea and was not weaker than a Peak True God realm warrior half a step into the King God realm.
Leylin was now a top level character in the whole Grace Mainland, standing at the very peak.
As more and more people become clear about his competence, they not only wanted to seek refuge but also extract revenge but unfortunately for them Leylin had no such desire.
Instead he contacted the members of Sea Tribe who also received inheritance of the Sea Clan becoming a member of pagan tribe standing on the opposite side of humanity.
Despite this, Leylin contacted them and got to know that Nate Barrington whom he gave the Life Origin Fluid successfully broke through to True God Realm.
Not just him, the whole Sea Clan was thriving but the moment he met Leylin and felt his unending ocean depth like power he remembered all those favours and decided to join hands with him.
Leylin as a human force leader actually started to mediate with pagans! Not just Sea tribe, Leylin also made contact with Monster tribe and through some undisclosed deals made alliance with them.
In the greater scheme of things, Leylin abandoned the racial discrimination and paved a way for a new future where pagans and humans can live together.
The reason why he made such a revolutionary move wasn’t just to accommodate new trends but also because of his observation.
Leylin who had a foreshadow of doubt about the Alaister family origin, observed that it was not just Abaddon Alaister who broke through but almost all family members of Alaister family were thriving as their ease of cultivation increased.
This validated a previous hypothesis in his mind which was later proved by his meeting with the Two Demon Clan leaders, Dalon Damon and Serret Black.
The truth is that Alaister family is in fact a member of the Demon Clan!
