The Story Never Ends

"What a weak sect!" When the shadow entered the Bone and Devil Sect, he immediately shook his head in disdain. Even though he was prepared for it, he still couldn\'t stand this pitiful sight.

"Two old men in the Golden Core Stage and few disciples in either the Qi Refining stage or the Body Tempering Stage. Furthermore, that talented disciple is not here." With his Divine Sense, every tiny detail of this sect was captured by him in an instant.

"Maybe he really left for the Inner Region in search of opportunities." He guessed.

"Haiz, I failed one of my tasks." He sighed.

"Regardless, he is not important at the moment. My main task is to unseal the Devil Ancestor that has been locked here since ancient times." These were the two missions that the Hall Master had assigned him to do.

Since the first one resulted in failure, he definitely had to complete the next one. Thus, he solemnly gazed in a certain direction and dashed there.

"Whoosh!"

His real body finally materialized above the Devil Pool. He was a skeleton wearing dark red robes with deep blue vortex-like eyes.

"It\'s here." He muttered and jumped into it.

"Splash!"

He shuttled through the polluted water swiftly and appeared infront of the altar at the bottom of the pool. Looking at the skull and the huge sword inserted in it, made him fearful.

"Although I am already in the Domain Realm, I still feel terrified. The suppression brought by this sword can only be resisted by experts in the Venerable Stage and above." He had some understanding of the history behind it.

From what he had heard, a Devil Saint and a Human Saint had exchanged thousands of blows here more than twenty thousand years ago. Nonetheless, the outcome couldn\'t be decided.

So, the Human Saint decided to use everything in his arsenal to seal the Devil Saint. However, he underestimated its difficulty. After all, how can a Saint be taken down this easily?

Thus, in the end, the Human Saint had to sacrifice his life-long fairy artifact and his law body on top of that to simply trap that devil.

But what is the law body? It is the combination of one\'s soul Qi, laws, spells, comprehension, and everything or you could say it is the essence of one\'s cultivation. Therefore, without it, the Human Saint became a cripple and soon died of old age.

As for the Devil, he was suppressed under the sword. Not only that, but it was steadily grinding him to death. This was in fact due to the law of darkness and suppression being embedded into the sword.

This was the difference between Fairy Artifacts and higher artifacts. The Fairy Artifacts were made up of Saint Crystals and thus one could wield the power of laws through it. Hence, they were on a whole new level when compared to others.

Moreover, since the Devil Saint was in the Human World, he couldn\'t recover by absorbing the aura of heavens and earth from the surroundings as there was no devil essence present in the air. As a result, he was suffering and weakening over time.

The other surprising thing was that this incident had taken place way before the four major sects were established, making it impossible for them to know of this secret.

Now the question comes, how did the Heavenly Demon Sect get this information? Who were they? How terrifying was their background? Were they far bigger, glorious, and historical than the four major sects?

Anyways, many years later, a group of cultivators located this place because of the unusual change in environment. Due to their residual auras, the nearby vegetation was the first to evolve. Many spiritual herbs including rare treasures of heavens and earth were formed.

So, they set themselves up there and began cultivating. But they noticed that their cultivation was not increasing. Instead, they were transforming into something disgusting.

Yes, they were mutating into a devil. It was the plot of the Devil Ancestor. By releasing a minuscule amount of his devil essence into the air, he was corrupting them slowly.

Nevertheless, his plan came to an end as the sword too unleashed its power, suppressing everything. It seemed like the Human Saint was prepared for it. But the Humans who were transformed already were blinded by greed.

They possessed great power due to the devil\'s essence and became eager to obtain more of it. Thus, they started researching this power and in this way, the Bone and Devil Sect was established here.

Next, the Bone and Devil Sect grew rapidly as they recircuited disciples by alluring them with the newborn treasures. Especially, they showcased their horrific strength since cultivators in the same rank were not their match.

Nonetheless, they didn\'t know that such an arrogant display of attitude and strength had aroused the displeasure of other forces, ensuring them to team up and take action against the Bone and Devil Sect.

Although they managed to win and conquer the Outer Region as a result, they suffered huge losses. Plus, the members of the Heavenly Demon Sect managed to infiltrate the sect during this chaos.

Their purpose was to check the condition of the seal and free the devil if possible. However, the seal was too strong for them to break during that period without causing any commotion.

Also, who knew if that devil would listen to them after escaping? Since then, the Heavenly Demon Sect had been keeping attention to the Bone and Devil Sect. The previous disaster was also due to them trying to open the seal.

Despite resulting in disappointment, they succeeded in crippling the Bone and Devil Sect. Even today, it was far from being able to recover to its peak. Whereas the Heavenly Demon Sect has become stronger than ever. There was no need for comparison.

Now, today, they were ultimately going to accomplish their goal. They weren\'t worried about the devil wreaking havoc as according to their estimation he should be at most at the peak stage of the Domain Realm. Likewise, the sword had expended most of its energy.

Having these thoughts, the skeleton approached the altar. But suddenly he sensed some movements coming from his back.

"Who?" He turned back at once warily. There he didn\'t see anyone but rather heard two voices; one male and another female.

"See, he spotted us because of you. You didn\'t listen when I told you to stay behind and let me take care of this matter."

"How is it my fault? And with what happened that day, how can I let you go alone?"

"I get furious whenever I think about how you let the hall master escape. If only you.."

"Whatever! Just forget it."

"We should capture the skeleton ahead and interrogate it."

The water rippled, and they eventually emerged in his vision.

"It\'s you. The talented disciple of the Bone and Devil Sect." He exclaimed straight away as he recognized his face that was somewhat hidden under the black cloak.

"Eh! Am I that popular?" Davion acted surprised.

After rescuing the little girl, he had dashed here with Siena without taking any break along the way. And so, they barely managed to reach in time.

"Humph! You are the one at the top of our kill list. Since you have offended our Hall Master, you can only die." The skeleton unleashed his cultivation base at the late stage of the Domain Realm, causing the whole pool to shake.

Seeing this, Davion hurriedly isolated the space by using his old staff. He didn\'t want to see his old sect getting ruined into oblivion.

"A higher-grade spiritual weapon? How can you use its ability?" With his weak cultivation, it must be impossible to wield it. The skeleton was puzzled.

After all, it hasn\'t even been a year since Davion had taken part in the conference and he was at the measly Qi Refining Stage during that time, making it impossible for him to be this strong in such a short time.

"Did he by any case break through the Domain Realm?" He attempted to probe his cultivation base, but it was futile. There was a strong resistance coming from him.

"Is it because of this woman?" He then focused his attention on Siena, thinking that she was the one pulling the tricks from behind.

"What are you looking at?" Siena scoffed and took out her sword, releasing her sword intent right away.

"Sword Cultivator at the early stage of the Domain Realm." The skeleton eyes coldly glinted expressing his dissatisfaction. Even if her sword intent was frightening, her cultivation was lacking when compared to him.

Nevertheless, he immediately became shell-shocked with what happened next. A pair of wings made of calm and mysterious white flames popped from her back.

Its temperature was so high that the water around her boiled, creating bubbles and disrupting the vision.

"Isn\'t this the unique flame of the Phoenix Clan?" The skeleton cried out in trepidation.. As a non-human surviving for thousands of years, he clearly identified it.
