The Devil

Eastern Continent, Eastern Part, Devil's Lair.

The Eastern Part is where all the Devil resides. Except they don't have any sects but instead use the Clan System. There are hidden Devil Lair in every part of Eastern Continent but they can be counted with one's hand.

Their blood and powers originated from the Devil Progenitors and some of them had an atavism to become real Devils.

Their blood had the power to corrupt anyone, pollute the World, and devour anything between Heaven and Earth. They use slaves to maintain their everyday lives.

The slaves are those who are corrupted by the power of the Devil. No one could purify its power when someone had been infected by it, they became the slave of the Devil.

It was because it was imprinted in the Blood itself, reconstructing their being and using Bloodline suppression on them.

The Devil of the Devil's Lair. It was the name of the Devil who managed to reach the top spot in the Path of Heaven. In normal times, he was the Prince of one of the most powerful clans of Devil Cultivators, the Gu Clan.

He opened his eyes from deep meditation and said in a mocking, loud voice, "Yun Haoran, oh Yun Haoran. You would not believe this right? The Heavens are on our side. Hahahahaha."

He came from the Path of Heaven with an excited look on his face. Even the Righteous Sects and Demon Sects are trying to unearth what happened to the Devil. They are being excluded from the Path of Heaven in any generation from their records.

No one knows the reason but they are not allowed entry and those who tried even a bit would die without a burial.

There are many theories such as they are cursed by Heaven itself or an Emperor or any Peak Existences created a law that prohibits any Devils from entering in the Path of Heaven.

He then played with his palm and added, "Although I managed only Rank 7 overall, my comprehension went by 10%. This is a great chance for me to catch up to him. Hahahaha."

"Gu Yan, are you up?" A deep voice said it had an ancient voice of death. Those who have heard it would have their minds corrupted. Dreams would become nightmares, hopes would become fear and life would extinguish itself on his presence.

"Grandfather, You are back." Gu Yan shouted back with the power of Darkness. The spirit around him becomes chaotic as they are enslaved. It was the souls of those he had devoured and also the power within his bloodline.

The door to Gu Yan's room opened and an old man with a mustache appeared. He wore a black red robe with long gray hair. The power of Pollution pervaded his body.

Gu Yan bowed his head with reverence in his eyes. This is his Grandfather and also the previous patriarch of the Gu Clan.

"Good, good. 10% increase in your Comprehension. Is that the official Path of Heaven?" The old man asked with blazing power in his eyes.

"No, I only finished the Tutorial. I plan on cultivating for a few more days to enter the official Path of Heaven. I needed to solidify my Foundation." Gu Yan replied with confidence in his eyes.

The old man smiled and then nodded. He said, "Alright. If that is your plan. Here." Then a blood-red orb appeared floating on his front.

Gu Yan became shocked and a hungry look appeared before his eyes and mouth. His grandfather who saw it only smiled because any normal Devils who saw it would try to get it as fast as possible. He was still a child, not even thirty so this much reaction is normal.

"Your father devoured countless kingdoms and harvested numerous 'Devils' for you. I felt this was not enough so I devoured 12 sects.

The plan to resurrect the essence of the Ancestor failed because of Yun Haoran. I plan on devouring him but I felt that abomination. Try to catch up so you can devour him yourself." The old man explained with a smile on his face.

Surprisingly, Yun Haoran is close to the truth this time. Of course, he may also be correct because Possession of Descendants is quite a spell in Myriad Martial World. Using the bloodline and imprinting memories to resurrect yourself is a taboo subject.

"Yes, Grandfather. I will not let you down." Gu Yan replied then he touched the blood-red orb.

The orb then shoots out to his pores and orifices. His body had begun to bloat out. Gu Yan then reconstructed his Meridians and Dantian, creating a more solid foundation. He only controlled it instinctively while the other had been devoured by his blood which strengthened him overall.

His grandfather all saw it. Then he felt a throbbing feeling on his chest, and he cursed, "Damn Gold Sword." He then spat out black blood that corroded the floor.

"More than 5,000 years later and I am still suffering from that slash. Accursed master and disciple." He said with a pained expression on his face.

"I can't die, not until I saw this child grow up. Flap his wings that could blacken the whole sky. If he could inherit his previous memory as the [][][][] the better." He said with blood dripping from all his orifices.

He should be dead from that slash from him but he used a life-saving skill as his last trump card because any other trump card becomes useless in Gold Sword's presence.

Heavenly Gold Sword, a fearsome opponent and the strongest Saint in this era. He used to be alone on his mountain but decided one day to go down the mountain and accept a nameless kid from a nameless village.

That nameless kid is even more fearsome. The reason why he didn't kill that kid when he saw him a year ago was because of his absolute confidence. That kid uses his suppression to more than temper his abilities. He even had a supreme intent lingering on him that he could not pinpoint where.

That kind of confidence can only be found when someone has confidence he can leave the place alive. Even if he locked the space and the void, he had the confidence to escape.

If he tried even a bit to assassinate Yun Haoran, he would definitely die without a burial. Gold Sword can teleport wherever his disciple went.

There is no third life for him. Heavenly Gold Sword would definitely exterminate him and his clan.

When he was thinking about all that stuff, a magisterial human opened his eyes. He had a blood-red horn, sharp nails, and fleshly wings on his back. Black lightning coils and a suppression of blood is all around him.

"Grandfather. 51% Atavism." Gu Yan said with a smile on his face. His sharp fangs protruded from his mouth. He had a third blood-red eye on his forehead. He had a fearsome look but it was a charm no one could understand.

"Don't neglect your practice. You have the highest concentration of blood." His grandfather warned him then disappeared. His grandfather cannot wait any longer to spit out the blood he was forcefully suppressing.

A devil with a horn like a crown with 5 pairs of wings. A hand-like claws and 5 eyes that have the power of the Five Elements. He had the supreme intent of Corruption and any filth that this world had discovered, it was all on him.

He has the power to corrupt stars with a blink of his eyes and pollute a Universe with a wave of his hands. A pity that he has many wounds and swords made of the Supreme Dao of Creation embedded in his body.

All around him is Death and Destruction, many ancestors or progenitors that could kill a Saint with a snort had been slain. The Devil who is standing upright while trying to heal his wounds and getting the swords then looks at the man in front of him.

The man smiled at him. He was standing on a lotus with 12 petals that spewed golden-red radiance. The man had no charm yet his confidence can command Heaven and Earth itself.

"Yun, I admit defeat. We suffered, no the Ten Thousand Races suffered because of our greed. The Heavens use you to eradicate us. Are you that happy you become a pawn? Answer me, Yun." The Devil shouted with bloodied eyes. The swords embedded in him become heavier and he cannot stand up.

"A pawn? No, even if the Heavens didn't reach out to me. I would start this War sooner or later. You are destroying the world I love. Your race is an abomination for this world but I would not kill it to extinction. Just like the Ten Thousand Races." Yun smiled while explaining to him.

"Sooner or later. The Humans would do the same, how can you say they would not try to extinguish the Ten Thousand Races and my Devil Race?" The Devil replied with a question. His killing intent reached out to all the battlefield.

"I don't know. They are not precious to me. They could become extinct for all I care. But someone precious to me is a Human so I might as well pave a road for her to return." Yun replied back to which The Devil had his mouth become agape in shock.

Yun, on the other hand, shootout another sword to an empty space. The sword then killed someone who was hiding in a hidden space. He then looked at The Devil again without doing anything but he was ready to move anytime he wished.

The Devil who saw it can only dry laugh with all his strength. He cannot fight now. Even if he survives this man, he cannot continue forward because his Dao is already shattered.

"Don't worry. Your race is also a pawn and you are like another discarded pawn. In the Grand River of Things, they are now starting the Game." Yun said, looking at The Devil in front of him.

"What do you mean? I could not understand. Are you seeing what I cannot see?" The Devil could only ask with a more frightened expression.

If this guy's telling the truth. He was walking on a path that was laid on him. All his life he wanted to become the Strongest but if he was a pawn, there must be a bigger pawn.

"I'm not spoiling it. You can die without knowing the end. Hahaha." Yun said then he laughed.

"Yun, you bastard." The Devil then used all his intent and the shattered Dao to create a killing intent that sundered the world, he burned his life to empower that intent. The intent had the power to Devour the sky, the stars, and the Universe. The Heaven itself became so horrified that it shook the World itself.

"Hah, hah. What is that?" Gu Yan asked in the surroundings. He was in a state of meditation when he was pulled into an unknown dream.

The dream he cannot even remember until the last part. He was sweating crazy with a bloodied eye on his face. He was also back in his normal state.

"But I have comprehended something. The Heaven Devouring Intent. Much stronger than the Devouring Intent. Hahahaha. With this kind of talent, I'll surpass Yun Haoran in no time." He said laughing in the empty air.

"But for now, this would be my trump card." He added with a soaring confidence on his face. He saw the face of Yun Haoran begging for mercy to not be devoured.

"I would devour you until the last bit of pieces. Yun Haoran." He added again with a hungry expression.
