Chapter 6 - Demons

When the sun was at its peak in the sky did Mo Yuan lead ten thousand demon soldiers to launch another attack on the Fourth Heaven. He was the supreme leader of the first heaven and in charge of the lowest race of immortals, demons. It could fuel a lot of insecurities and sick motives like finding a way to prevent the complete extinction of the First Heaven alone, while ensuring the demise of the other three heavens who look down on immortal demons and try their best to keep them beneath their feet. 

Not all souls were noble enough to reincarnate as the domineering dragon or the pure and righteous immortals in the third heaven. Some souls with a lot of resentment in them can't ascend higher than the first heaven and the other immortals named them demons, vengeful reincarnated immortals. 

Mo Yuan smiled softly in amusement as more red dragons began to assemble to defend the integrity of the fourth heaven borders as they should. What they didn't know was that his heaven was not doomed to fall eventually like theirs and he has come with a secret technique nobody knows about to kill the ancient immortal black dragon for good. 

If only they would be good dragons and let him in. 

''Your Darkness,' Xuan Sha, his faithful left hand, who shares the most in his diabolical vision, bowed beside him and said, ''The portals you made to transport ten demons and thirteen of us souls in total secretly into the Fourth Heaven had been a success. We have captured the three Red dragons and sealed their powers like you instructed.'' 

Mo Yuan was pleased. ''Well done, Xuan Sha. Remember, we will use them to try to lure out the female white dragon and kill her. She is the strongest and all we need to conquer this heaven.'' 

Xuan Sha nodded in understanding and stood proud beside his king as more Red dragons continued to assemble. 

Mo Yuan's intelligent red gaze observed their number and noted how small they were compared to his ten thousand wrathful demon soldiers. 

Master Yun Xi, Master Chang Yi and another powerful red dragon appeared at the front lines and Mo Yuan couldn't wait to start this battle by getting rid of these annoying red dragons. 

''I noticed my last attack had a significant impact on your population, Chang Yi,'' the deathly pale beauty taunted with a smirk. 

Master Chang Yi's brow furrowed as he wasted no time in being the first to attack. His greatest nemesis had been this awfully beautiful demon king of the first heaven. And it would only bring him glory if he was the reason they no longer had a wayward king. 

Master Chang Yi positioned himself to cast the Earth's Vanishing Technique. His legs apart as he raised his hands and crossed them over the sigil between his eyebrows. Bright red energy began to flow from his inner dragon bead core, illuminating the red dragon sigil between his eyebrows. Shortly, a glowing red ring of nine lines on the surface appeared beneath the demon king's feet. 

Mo Yuan examined the strange technique around him and looked up to see the replica of the strange ring above his head and before he knew it, he was trapped inside nine glowing rings from his head to toe. His dark red eyes fell on the desperate immortal trying to kill him with this technique. He silently wondered what was going to happen to him now as he remained calm inside the ring. 

Chang Yi then concentrated enough of his power in order to activate the power of this technique. The ring above and below should connect and the victim inside would have no way of escaping a painful death of bones, tissues and flesh melting like sand. 

Glowing tendrils of red began to appear on Master Chang Yi's cheeks as he began to activate the rings. Mo Yuan laughed as he slowly began to understand the purpose of this technique. 

''Chang Yi,'' he called in a tone dripping with dark amusement. ''You still haven't changed from being so obvious after all these years of fighting me. Since you are so determined to die in this battle, I will gladly fullfil your wish.'' 

The sky above and the clouds beneath their feet suddenly began to darken. The Master of demons brought his arms apart to gather all the blood-red resentment energy around him, with a dark, ash-like aura surrounding it to himself. Within seconds he was able to gather a lot to destroy the rings trapping him, it created a wave so powerful it knocked down half of the red dragon soldiers gathered to kill him. The one who cast the Earth Vanishing Technique collapsed on his knees in submission to the pain he felt due to the backfire of failing to fully activate the technique. The immortal held on tightly to his chest as blood coated his teeth and lips. 

Yun Xi who was also blown away by the powerful effect of the resentment energy struggled to bring herself up and watched with a blurry gaze as Master Chang Yi stubbornly refused to back down and rose to his feet. 

''Oh?'' Mo Yuan tilted his head a bit to the left in amusement at the last man standing and still determined to end him. 

Master Chang Yi's blood red gaze glowed with both resentment and arrogance to defeat this reckless demon king. 

Mo Yuan saw the immortal's foolishness in trying to cast that failed technique again after it backfired on him badly. Both of his hands trembled as he forced his inner dragon bead core to give him as much power as possible to cast this technique. 

Everyone watched with wide eyes as the immortal was lifted up slowly to meet with where the arrogant demon king stood, demonized resentment energy flowing in and out of him, the sky ahead grumbled with violent lightning strikes as his blood red gaze waited for the foolish immortal to come to him. 

''Chang Yi, No!!!'' Yun Xi screamed from where she lay injured in protest. But the immortal master had already made up his mind to die while trying to kill this scourge of the immortal realm. After the demon clan brutally murdered his dearest love because she was a weak blue dragon, he chose never to forgive and instead avenge her in the best way that he could. 

A spirit-like version of his red dragon appeared behind him and roared powerfully at the beast who relished every moment of this. Master Chang Yi moved his hands up to his forehead and the red dragon sigil began to glow again.
