A violent demonic energy resonated in the air, with a fear inducing effect. Even with the Black and Red World between, Big Luo could detect that immense power.
What made him feel especially uneasy was that the wavelength of that demonic energy felt both strange and familiar at once.
Strange because he had never before came into contact with it in person, but familiar because the demonic energy wavelength coming through mimicked that of Big Luo’s, with a high degree of similarity.
Certainly, there were differences, but they were no doubt from the same origin.
“Hades…” Big Luo thought, as he immediately recognized it. His expression became complicated. Though he has played in his mind what might happen, if he met with someone from his own clan, it still made Big Luo feel overwhelmed and emotional when all this actually happened.
He calmed him mind, then said to Zu’e Holy Armor’s Original Soul, Crocodile God, “could you please look after them? I will go take a look.”
Crocodile God looked at Big Luo and said nothing, only nodding his head solemnly.
It had not been long since Zu’e Holy Armor was forged, so that the Original Soul’s mental growth was still incomplete. It was artificially raised from Gestation to Mahayana grade by Lin Feng.
However, with the appearance of a middle-aged man, Crocodile God seemed mature and dependable.
He was forged by rituals, with Lin Feng’s own hands, hence he had faith in Big Luo, whom Lin Feng showered with generous trust. Staying behind to guard the compound himself, he let Big Luo handle the other matter.
Big Luo inhaled deeply and departed from the palace, traveling towards the entrance of the Black and Red World before him.
After they entered the Black and Red World earlier, the gate at the entrance was shut off again. The space between heaven and earth was empty, but with Big Luo’s level of cultivation, he had certain knowledge about dimensional warps, hence he could roughly deduce the current state of that pitch black satanic gate.
Although the exact location was uncertain, as the satanic gate resided in the warping void, Big Luo could sense its movement because he came into contact with it before.
Expanding his Supernatural awareness, Big Luo frowned lightly, as he could obviously feel someone else was trying to open the gate.
“Demons with knowledge of human clan’s satanic spells, like mother, should be quite rare. Unless the Hades outside could do that too? Or maybe they are holding on to something?” Big Luo thought, his mind working around the clock. Right then, he felt somewhat hesitant.
Red light shimmered in the void, as the black mist gushed in. The satanic gate was revealing itself and slowly being opened.
Big Luo frowned and thought, “senior Wang and fellow Ning are facing their trials. During the previous war between the two realms, master Lin and Hades, as well as uncle Hades Huan Ri were embroiled in conflict. Moreover, master murdered grand uncle Kong Yuan, hence they are nemesis now. If they manage to come in now, they might harm senior Wang and fellow Ning.
Although he had totally recovered his memory from his previous life, the influence of his current life had a more profound impact on Big Luo.
He always reminded himself that he should always be thankful to Lin Feng for guiding him through all these years. When Wang Lin, as well as the other seniors and juniors went to Ying Sea, they often interacted with him, forging a deep bond.
With this thought in mind, Big Luo made up his mind. Looking at the gradually opening satanic gate in front, he sighed and said, “though I have no idea who you are in my clan, I have to go against you now.”
Big Luo leaped forward, positioning himself in mid-air. He pressed his hands against the back of the satanic gate and channeled his demonic energy. Instantaneously, he propelled the satanic gate to close once more!
On the other side of the gate, someone snickered immediately, “Demonic energy! Wait, this kind of demonic energy…”
Big Luo sighed silently but said nothing.
Outside the gate, in the dense black fog, two Hades Beast in their human form stared intensely at the gate before them.
Behind them there was a floating antique brass lamp. Specks of red light shined on the filament. Under the glow of the red light, the majority of the black mist was insulated away. The small amount that seeped through was dissipated by the xx that the two Hades Beasts casted.
The satanic light basked in the red light from the antique brass lamp, on the verge of being opened. One of the Hades Beasts pressed his paw against the surface of the gate, asserting strength to push it.
The Hades Beasts observed that the gate was already almost going to open, when suddenly a huge force came from behind the floor, instantaneously shutting the door again.
The Hades Beast was furious. He said, “someone made it here before us?”
“This energy flow indicates its demonic energy. But hold on, this demonic energy… It…” he said. The rage on his face suddenly turned into surprise.
The other Hades Beast asked in a deep tone, “Ning Feng, what is it?”
The Hades Beast who pushed the gate was Hades Ning Feng, who hunted down Yan Nanlai, battling xx and xx, eventually losing to Shi Tianhao. He turned to look at the other Hades Beast, “Yun Cheng, could it be Jing Yan and the rest?”
“But through the resonance of demonic energy, by right they should be able to recognize my demonic energy.”
The person standing next to Hades Ning Feng was another Hades Beast like him, with three horns on the head and purple light patterns covering his body. He was skinnier and taller than Hades Ning Feng. Besides a purple light in his pupil, there was a ring of white light shimmering.
Known as Hades Yun Cheng, his cultivation and strength far exceeded that of Hades Ning Feng’s. Like Hades Jing Yan and Hades Zhan Ming, he was a powerful Cardinal Tribulations Beginning Stage Hades.
Hades Yun Cheng looked at the satanic gate and reached out his paw to push against the gate. Instantaneously, the satanic gate trembled violently.
At the other side of the door, in the Black and Red World, Big Luo’s body shook. Silver hair sprouted out from his torso, purple light patterns spreaded. His figure began to enlarge, revealing his original, true form.
With the propelance of demonic energy, he barricaded the black satanic gate, still keeping it shut.
As he was inside the gate, Big Luo could reinforce the restrictive spells on the black satanic gate. Hades Yun Cheng exerted more strength, but the gate could not be opened. Instead, a few cracks formed on the surface of the satanic gate.
But after the exchange between them, Hades Yun Cheng had an idea of what was going on. His gaze darkened.
At the side, Hades Ning Feng carefully inspected the energy from the other side of the door, as his expression of surprise turned into rage once more. He said, “this resonance of demonic energy came from the same source as the horn that his majesty Hades left behind!”
“Big Luo is inside!” said Hades Ning Feng, staring intensely at the satanic gate, “but why is he trying to stop us?”
Hades Yun Cheng’s face darkened, as purple light glistened on his claw, shadowing the entire satanic gate. He said in a deep voice, “Big Luo, I know that you can hear me.”
“You might not know me, neither have I seen you. But I know your name and about your existence. My name is Yun Cheng, son of Illusory Sun. What are you trying to do now?”
Indeed, Big Luo could hear Hades Yun Cheng’s voice. His expression was complex and he did not know how to answer.
Hades Yun Cheng said, “the leader of the Celestial Sect is not inside right? If not he would have came out. Judging from that, he did not imprison your freedom, nor did he control you. Have you been sober and free all this time?”
“If that is the case, why are you trying to stop us? You are one of us, we are blood brothers!” Hades Yun Cheng said, his voice strained with anger, “previously, when the leader of Celestial Sect ravaged the Spirit Sea, were you behaving like this, doing it out of your own will?”
After a momentary silence, Big Luo’s voice was heard from the inside of the satanic gate. He said, “you are the son of uncle Illusory Sun, I should call you brother Yun Cheng. My rebirth was not entirely due to the plan of father, but because of master Lin. After that, it was also master Lin who taught me about spells and cultivation. In Spirit Sea, although I have regained my Hades physical form, my memory had not returned to me. Hence I assisted master Lin.”
“When I went to the Middle World previously where mother did, I have recovered all memories of my past life. But it is also out of my own will to block you from entering now. I hope brother Yun Cheng will not blame me.”
Upon hearing Big Luo’s words, Hades Yun Cheng and Hades Ning Feng’s faces betrayed expressions of shock and anger. Furiously, Hades Ning Feng asked, “are you out of your mind? You went to help that human, going against your own clan?”
Big Luo said slowly, “although I have recovered my memory, to me, what impacted me the most is still this life. I have no desire to antagonize the Hades. But if I really have to choose, I would be even less willing to be at odds with the Humans.”
Hades Ning Feng was outraged. Hades Yun Cheng raised his arm to stop Hades Ning Feng, then said in a deep tone, “his majestic Hades Emperor’s plan met with an accident, causing your rebirth to be traumatic, without anyone to guide you. As a result, you were bewitched by the leader of Celestial Sect, tricked by humans.”
“When you were reborn, our clan was outside the Greater World. That aside, now that our clan has returned to the Greater World, it is time for you to come back too.”
Hades Yun Cheng said coldly, “you must realize that no matter your demonic spirit or corporeal body belongs to the Hades Clan. There is no way the humans would tolerate you!”
Big Luo said, “all these years, I have master Lin’s teaching to thank, if not I would not be where I am today. Master Lin also helped me in regaining my corporeal form. The people in the Celestial Sect of Wonders get along well with me, without despise, without antagony, without caution against me or giving me special treatments.”
“As for other human clans, I had never interacted with them, as is with other demonic clans. Although I feel very lonely, that was the choice I made on my own and I have no regrets.”
Hearing Big Luo’s explanation, Hades Ning Feng snickered and said, “the leader of Celestial Sect took you in because he hungered for Spirit Sea, as leverage against our clan. Did you think he did that out of good will?”
“You might still be useful to him now, but when you are not, do you think it will end well for you? Like cows and sheeps that were raised in captivity, you are destined to be slaughtered for your flesh!”
Big Luo said evenly, “as I said, the one thing that matters to me the most is this life. Without master Lin, I would have already died in this life, going into another cycle of reincarnation.
“I could vaguely feel that master Lin took me in and even saved me in the past probably because I am a Hades Beast. But as for Spirit Sea and the return of our clan, he could not have known back then. It might have all just been pure coincidence.”
“My instinct might not be accurate, but I choose to trust master Lin,” said Big Luo calmly, “for now, or even in the future, as long as I am not under threat, as long as I am not an enemy of humans, there is a place for me in Celestial Sect. This is not a promise from master Lin, but my own interpretation. Although is might not be true, I choose to have faith.”
Hades Ning Feng’s gaze grew colder. Hades Yun Cheng said solemnly, “you do not deserve to be the son of his majesty Hades Emperor. You have let down his majesty’s great expectation of you. You failed to fulfill your own destiny!”
On the other side of the satanic gate, Big Luo fell into silence. His usually calm and sturdy voice gradually grew bitter, he said to himself, “is it, my destiny?…”
