722 Chapter 722: Sky Demon Hallmark
The demon was not offended by Ye Xiao’s words. He was still smiling.
In the real world, he was a man who has already lived for more than ten hundred thousand years and was a Five Marked Worldly Divine Lord. He had been through many things in his life, so being provoked by someone’s words was not a new thing to him.
Well, he knew Ye Xiao was not exactly provoking him but was telling the truth, but what does it have to do with him?
He didn’t see the lives of this world as lives. In his eyes, these people are not real, these people are just some bugs who were born to be trampled by the people from the real world.
So what if he kills hundreds of thousands of humans in the quest to increase his strength and rule over more territory in an attempt to steal the karmic luck that’ll help him increase his cultivation base in the real world.
pAɴᴅᴀ ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ He looked at Ye Xiao and snorted, “These bugs are born to be killed by us, the humans from the real world. They are born just to help us rule and gather karmic luck. So what if I kill them. Hehe, do you know, my demon parents in this world are the lord of a small demonic territory. Two years ago, just to rule that territory, I killed them both. Since I can kill my own parents in this world, of course, I can kill these bugs like humans as well!”
Ye Xiao shook his head in disappointment. Looks like, becoming a demon has already affected the mind of this person. He has really started becoming more like a demon. Is there really such a side effect of being born to a demon?
Ye Xiao sighed and said, “I don’t care what you did previously, but I won’t let you kill these people. I’m gonna go out of this place with them!”
“Haha…” The demon laughed loudly and said, “Do you really believe you can get out of here. Why do you think I told you to come here and talk?”
Seeing Ye Xiao’s silent face, he again said with a smirk: “Look, what is below your feet?”
Ye Xiao frowned and looked below, only to see a formation that could trap people. He understood why this demon was so calm and collected, but a strange smile appeared on his face.
He has the memories of three ancient gods, one of them being the Ancient Formation God. Reincarnating in this world didn’t discard his memories. Not to mention formations like below his feet that could only be considered at most a Mid Grade Immortal Level Formation, even if it was Divine Level formation, Ye Xiao could’ve easily broken it.
He smiled, raised his head, and said, “Do you really think this little formation could trap me?”
Now, this was the time for the demon to frown. He didn’t expect why Ye Xiao was smiling like this even though he was clearly trapped in the formation he had laid down on the square-shaped platform when he came here the first time.
“Have you gone mad?” The demon asked while raising his brows.
Ye Xiao shook his head and was about to say something when he felt a very familiar aura. But this aura appeared for a very short moment before disappearing immediately.
He frowned and looked around but didn’t find anyone. He released his Divine Sense but still failed to find out where that aura came from.
As for the demon, he didn’t feel anything. He was still the same.
Ye Xiao didn’t want to waste any more time. This demon was yet another reincarnator. Killing this demon will only benefit him in every way.
Ye Xiao tapped a few places with his leg while walking here and there on the platform. The demon frowned and didn’t know what Ye Xiao was doing.
This formation actually came from a formation plat his demon father kept with him. When he killed his father, the formation plat of course fell in his hands. He used that formation plate to lay down this trap formation. He didn’t know a single thing about it.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao was like a super master of formations, in less than two minutes, he completely shattered the formation, causing the demon to open his eyes wide and look at Ye Xiao in a different light.
“How did you do that?” The demon asked.
“If you have knowledge about formation, you can of course break it easily.” Ye Xiao replied indifferently.
He didn’t want to waste time anymore, so he immediately took action after breaking the formation. A red light flashed and a surge of fiery aura burst out from Ye Xiao’s body. Coupled with the high temperature of the surroundings, the hotness in the air increased to the point where the demon started feeling as if he was being boiled alive.
Fortunately, Ye Xiao controlled his aura and didn’t let his aura affect the entire platform, otherwise, the unconscious boys and girls would have experienced the same sensation that the demon was feeling, maybe even worse.
Fiery wings appeared behind Ye Xiao’s back and fire swept all over his body, quickly transforming into a fiery-red armor. This was a martial arts skill that Ye Xiao had created on his own after years of accumulating knowledge inside the Martial Arts Pavilion of the Ye Family.
The demon also stood up from his throne. He was not to be outdone. He knew Ye Xiao was a tough nut to crack and it’ll not be easy to defeat him. So he also used his true strength from the very start.
The strange black patterns on his red body lit up, causing a black aura to sip out, slowly stretching outwards. At the same time, his aura also started becoming stronger.
“Do you know why demons are stronger than humans of the same level?” The demon asked looking into Ye Xiao’s eyes. Without waiting for Ye Xiao’s response, he said, “It is because they have too many cards in their sleeves. I was born in the family of a demon who ruled over a small territory. He was only a Martial King Realm demon and wasn’t that strong, even so, as a demon, he had these hallmarks you are seeing on my body as his physique. I inherited this from him.”
“It is not just ordinary patterns, it is something that can increase my fighting prowess and strength in a very short time without any side effects. This hallmark is called Sky Demon Hallmark. My father’s bloodline was very thin and my bloodline is thinner than theirs. After killing thousands of humans all these years and using them as a furnace to increase my strength, I also strengthened my bloodline, making it thicker and denser. I’ve never used the hallmarks in any battle, you are the first one who is going to experience the terror of my hallmark, the terror of Sky Demon Hallmark!”
In a very short moment of time, his height grew longer, extra muscles appeared in many places on his body. Sharp bones’ shards grew out from his back, and his feet transformed into the feet of a monster. A vertical crack opened as blood oozed out from within. At the same time, a bloody black eye popped out.
It was not the end, a pair of black bat-like wings also appeared that went down from his shoulder to the last bit of his ribs. This pair of wings were painted with red patterns. This red pattern was slightly different from the black hallmarks on his red body, however, it did blend well with the black pair of wings.
Gills like fishes’ appeared on both of his cheeks. The simple short horn on his head also grew bigger and transformed into deer horns. His already hideous look became more grotesque.
Ye Xiao was shocked. He had never thought he’ll encounter this kind of situation. This demon was clearly a Peak Martial Emperor Realm demon, however, now his aura alone can rival any Martial Saint. Even Peak Martial Saint pales in comparison to this demon’s aura.
The Sky Demon Hallmark was really not a simple thing. It actually increased the demon’s strength so much in such a short time. What is more, there was no side effect. Well, it was what the demon told him. As for what the reality was, only this demon himself knew.
At this moment, a smile appeared on Ye Xiao’s face. It has been eight years since he came to this world and never fought anyone. Now, feeling the strong and gruesome aura emitting out from the demon’s body, he suddenly has the desire to fight a few rounds against this demon and not end the battle soon.
“Let’s fight!”
Ye Xiao said with a big smile and an expectant look on his face. Then he clenched his fist and punched out.
A heavy fluctuation of energy appeared as waves after waves of air current unfurled out in every direction, colliding against the tall walls of the mountain.
