Chapter 640: Demon Clan? God Clan?

Sigma Hitesh

The area by the lake became quiet again.

Fiery Dragon and Blood-maned transformed into their beast shape, balling their bodies near the lake to heal themselves in silence. The two level 9 hotshots were using the secret techniques of the Demon Clan to gather heaven and earth spiritual Qi.

Di Shan, Li Zheng Rong, Yue Ying, and Ji Mu, the four Spirit Realm warriors, kept silent, but many thoughts were moving in their heads.

Shi Yan was standing next to Yang Tian Emperor. Yang Tian Emperor was now a bloody skeleton. After his insanity had subsided, he was exhausted. The ferocious, wild aura he possessed had settled. From deep inside his eyes, people could see that he was fatigued.

Shi Yan sat neatly. His face was indifferent, his eyes slightly squinted.

The ‘tentacles’ jutting out from his acupuncture points had retreated. They were shaking inside his acupuncture points to filter the energy.

Trying to press down the craziness in his heart, he sent his thought to the Star Original Essence, using its power to clear his mind and purify his soul. This way, he could keep himself safe from the negative energy’s side effects.

He had used the Star Original Essence to understand the star power. His Star Martial Spirit had a new breakthrough, which promoted his realm to the Third Sky of Spirit Realm.

As he had many boosts, when he entered the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, he could bring out the power of a True God Realm warrior, which helped him seize the upper hand while fighting with Comoros.

Feeling the energies in his body calm down, Shi Yan used his Soul Consciousness to sense, and saw his unbreakable golden skeleton.

The Golden Marrow of the Golden Giant’s bones had improved his body’s durability to another level. Now, it was inconceivably rigid.

His Petrification Martial Spirit had obviously surpassed the barrier that the Shi family had always encountered. After the second breakthrough, even Shi Jian couldn’t imagine his situation at this moment.

Thanks to all sorts of fortuitous encounters, he had been able to resist Comoros’ attack with a body that would never be broken. He could also stabilize his mind and attack Comoros, making him run away in fear.

Today, he had the cultivation base at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm, and an incomparable body. His negative energy was tremendous. He had a new breakthrough in his martial spirits, along with the undying body of the Yang family. The combination of these miraculous abilities gave him the foundation to deal with higher-realm warriors.

Quieting down his emotions, Shi Yan used the mysterious martial spirit he had gotten the first to refine the Essence Qi that he had absorbed.

The negative emotions generated from this process were pressed down by his brave and persistent will. As he felt the torrential storms in his acupuncture points, he calmed his mind and emptied it.

After an unknown period, he woke up, putting two hands on Yang Tian Emperor all of a sudden.

Yang Tian Emperor’s bloody body was shaken, while a divine light bloomed out from his eyes. He couldn’t help but let out a low shout. "Little Yan! You can’t!"

Yang Tian Emperor could feel a mysterious energy from Shi Yan’s palms. This energy quickly merged with his Essence Qi and combined with his blood, bringing formidable energy fluctuations to help him condense the Immortal Blood once again.

This massive energy was rolling into Yang Tian Emperor’s body, making him feel as if his body was soaked in a hot spring. It was so comfortable that he almost groaned.

However, he shortly restrained his joy, as he thought that if he absorbed this energy, Shi Yan would have to consume his own energy massively.

Thus, he didn’t want to take it in, and even wanted to stop receiving it unilaterally.

"Don’t move!" Shi Yan shouted, talking in a serious tone. "Great Grandpa, I don’t need this energy. If I want it, I can always obtain it quite easily. I have a magical martial spirit, which helps me not to worry about lacking energy... forever."

Having heard him, Yang Tian Emperor’s bloody skeleton trembled.

Although Shi Yan didn’t say it clearly, Yang Tian Emperor could understand the hidden meaning in his words – He would never have to worry about lacking energy. How dangerous it was to go against the natural order like that?

He suddenly recognized why Shi Yan could progress that fast, entering the new realms before his estimated time. Apparently, it was related to the martial spirit Shi Yan had just mentioned.

"You should take in this energy. It will be handy to your body now," Shi Yan continued to mutter. "I don’t need it now. Even if I need it, it’s as easy as a piece of cake to obtain it again."

Yang Tian Emperor contemplated for a while and then received the energy from him with joy.

Shi Yan suddenly felt the power he had been pouring into Yang Tian Emperor’s body flow smoothly. He knew Yang Tian Emperor agreed to receive it.

Soon, the mysterious energy refined by his acupuncture points all poured into Yang Tian Emperor’s body.

Yang Tian Emperor started to condense the Immortal Blood again. Next, he used his Immortal Blood to perform the Immortal Rebirth Secret of the Yang family to grow his flesh again, connecting his broken vessels and tendons.

After four hours, Yang Tian Emperor had become a lively human again from a bloody skeleton.

Di Shan, Li Zheng Rong, Yue Ying, and Ji Mu stood not far from them. They all gawked in fear, but didn’t know what to say.

Yang Tian Emperor had used the Immortal Martial Spirit of the Yang family to its peak ability. He had used the Immortal Blood to grow his flesh again. This miracle was beyond their knowledge.

Only Shi Yan knew that after each time their bodies were annealed by the Immortal Rebirth Secret, they would surpass the tenacious level of the previous bodies, which would facilitate the growth of their powers.

After each time of rebirth, their bodies would change completely. When Yang Tian Emperor recovered, the tenacity of his body leaped up by a big part compared to the previous one.

Moreover, Yang Tian Emperor had also broken through to the Third Sky of Spirit Realm after this event.

"I want to stay quiet for a little bit!" After Yang Tian Emperor had recovered his body, he uttered simply while joy could be seen on his face.

Shi Yan reacted immediately and used to Earth Flame to create the passage leading to the bottom of the lake. He brought Yang Tian Emperor there, followed by Di Shan and Li Zheng Rong.

Now, Shi Yan, Fiery Dragon, Blood-maned, and Yue Ying, Ji Mu who came from the Ice and Fire Secret Domain, were standing by the lake now.

"You guys stay here. When the time comes, I will let you leave." Shi Yan glared at the other two, talking to them faintly. "Don’t worry; I won’t mistreat you. Not long afterward, you will figure out that being with me was a wise decision."

"Boy, you are so naughty!" Generous laughter arose from a far distance.

Blood-maned and Fiery Dragon were trying to restore fast, jolting up with a solemn expression.

A halo appeared in front of Shi Yan, gradually turning into a good-looking middle-aged man. He was smiling warmly.

"Master!" Ji Mu and Yue Ying bent down to greet him.

Shi Yan kept quiet for a while, then also bent and greeted him. "Master, thanks for protecting the Yang family. I will always keep your favor in mind."

"You remember my favor, but you treat my elders like that?" Yun Hao shook his head with an odd face. "Ji Mu and Yue Ying came here to bring you to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. The pagans are raging outside. Eventually, they would kill you all."

"Harrumph!" Blood-maned disagreed. "We are living in good harmony with Shi Yan. Why do we need to harm him? Only you cunning humans could have many wild schemes. You guys always attack your own fellows."

Yun Hao felt funny. "It’s really me who does things in vain. I didn’t think that you would stay with the pagans. Sigh, it was my one-sided thought I guess."

Ji Mu and Yue Ying frowned. They had witnessed the dangerous interaction between Shi Yan and the alien tribes. They didn’t know what to say.

"I will keep your good thought in mind," Shi Yan was honest and respectful while talking with Yun Hao. "But I don’t want to go to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. I’ve killed many people of the seven ancient factions... I can’t stay with them. I know my situation isn’t good either. Sooner or later, the seven ancient factions will aim at me. I just want to survive. No matter what I have to do, as long as I can stay in the Perpetual Night Forest, I don’t care whether my partners are pagans or not."

Yun Hao was surprised. He hesitated for a while and then said, "You know, when you do that, you will never have a chance to be accepted by Human Clan. At least... members of the seven ancient factions will never approve your operations. If you do so, you will stand on the opposite side to us."

"I understand," Shi Yan smiled begrudgingly. "I can’t destroy the Dark Devil Clan and the Winged Clan. The relationship between the alien tribes and me is deep, and the current situation isn’t something I want to see. The seven ancient factions are pushing us. I just do my best to protect myself."

"Who says Shi Yan is a human?!?" At this moment, Blood-maned screamed from the other side. "He has the bloodline of alien tribes. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be like that. You Human Clan has your bloodline mixed with other tribes. You are not pure, you know. Without blending with our alien tribes’ bloodline, you low humans, how could you grow that fast? You always say pagans and aliens, how clean do you think you are?"

"I don’t know about the others, but the Head Master of the Yang family should have an alien bloodline. His tremendous recovery ability is something only the alien tribes can have. You Human Clan will never have such innate ability!"

Fiery Dragon suddenly mocked, "If you hadn’t mixed with our bloodline, the Human Clan would have been annihilated in the Antiquity Epoch. How could you slowly rebel that way? Harrumph! The reason why humans can thrive fast is because of snatching and robbing. You’ve robbed spiritual Qi, precious materials, the properties of different clans. You are the corrupted insects of this continent!"

"The other tribes agree with this statement," Blood-maned groaned.

Yun Hao was muted by the words of the two experts of the Monster Clan.

Shi Yan was startled too. He frowned, looking at Fiery Dragon with a dull face. "You say there’s alien tribe bloodline in my Great Grandpa’s body?"

"Absolutely!" Fiery Dragon confirmed resolutely. "Human Clan has never had such a vigorous recovery ability. In the Antiquity Time, there were only two clans which had such ability."

"Which ones?" Shi Yan asked with astonishment.

"The Demon Clan...," Fiery Dragon answered seriously. He paused for a while, then continued gingerly, "...or the God Clan."
