The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 1199 - 458: Seven Sins Demon God, The Shadow of the Past_3

Only in the heart of the formation, when all seven demon implements had returned to their original places, seven unique beams of demonic light intertwined and spiraled fiercely, enveloping the entire formation.

Vaguely, there appeared a twisted demon shadow, as if standing at the peak of ancient mountains.

He, alone in demon form, calmly overlooked all living beings.

Whether it was a time of suffering or a time of prosperity, his pupils showed no signs of fluctuation.

"Realm of Desire, after all, is but a trivial land."

"Though I, the Seven Sins Demon God, may reign supreme here and aspire to triumph over All Heavens, I still have a long journey ahead."

"How must I proceed to become stronger?"

"Must I really collaborate with the human race? To forge a contract, to accept the infusion of Ability, to lose my freedom—is this truly a price I can bear?"

The demon shadow lowered its head, looking at its own demon hand, momentarily lost.

Unlike ordinary beings, his palm had not five but seven fingers.

Sharp fingernails, each corresponding to gold, green, red, gray, blue, turquoise, and purple—each color carrying a unique essence.

"I have been proving the Dao for an epoch, battling against six Fetus of God Sealing."

"Though I emerged victorious in all six battles, five managed to flee, making those neither victory nor defeat."

"The only one I killed inflicted severe backlash upon me."

"Indeed, to compete for the strongest among parallel worlds, one must find a different path."

The demon shadow seemed to stand at the mountain summit for a very long time.

When everything around him was empty, and time itself turned desolate, he raised his head again, his murmuring voice arose once more:

"I’ve got it. The union of my seven laws, the interweaving of seven extreme principles, achieving balance through their interaction."

"If I were to diversify these seven paths into seven distinct bloodlines, could I become stronger?"

With this thought, the demon shadow immediately sprang into action.

He roamed the Realm of Desire, finding seven Supreme Saint-level female demons with whom to mate, aiding them to conceive.

However, unexpectedly, before the demon children could fully be born, an anomaly occurred.

A vague human silhouette and a massive beast shadow confronted each other, eventually erupting in a battle shaking heaven and earth.

"Could that figure be... the Merciful Ancestor?"

"There’s no mistake. Historical records indeed note that the Ancestor, stumbled upon a Crown Rank of the human race lying dormant in the Realm of Desire, and battled it, piercing through the entire realm..."

As everyone watched, the entangled trio of figures separated.

The Seven Sins Demon God, hunched over, seemed to be murmuring something.

However, the Merciful Ancestor thunderously collapsed, and the Fetus of God Sealing he had contracted also shattered, scattering like fragments, with no trace of their presence remaining in the affected spaces.

"How weak this Crown Rank was, to be slain by me..."

"Why did he come to my domain, risking life and limb to battle me?"

"Though I am the God Sealer of the prison, ruling an entire realm, innumerable cycles of killing cannot be exempted."

"But isn’t it the same for All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds? Which supreme race can alone be virtuous? Without trampling over the corpses of other races, how can one ascend to the supreme throne?"

With slight confusion, the Seven Sins Demon God returned to his demon palace.

From then on, images of the past began to flicker, disturbed by a mysterious force, the scene becoming increasingly murky, rendering it impossible to discern what once transpired.

When things returned to normal, the Seven Sins Demon God was surprisingly found lying in his deathbed, breathing his last.

"Boom!!"

The Seven Sins Demon God fell.

That day, the sky lost its color, and the mountains and rivers were displaced.

Seven figures knelt before the corpse of the Seven Sins, allowing seven colors of power to flow into their bodies.

It was an excruciating process, with seven female demons, either graceful or robust, uttering hysterical screams, repeatedly fainting from pain.

Yet in the end, they all survived.

The once ordinary aura of Holy Beasts underwent a dramatic transformation, with divine protection revitalizing their forms.

"So these are the seven Demon Queens? In that most cruel of eras, the death of a Demon God gave birth to seven races..."

"The Demon Queens are our common grandmothers, and the Demon God our common grandfather..."

The Primeval Demon Race, standing at the center of the formation, could also see these images of past times.

More than seventy percent wept with overwhelming emotion.

However, Ye Hanjun felt an increasing prickling sensation in his brow, feeling that something was amiss.

Yet, he could not pinpoint the reason, his thoughts becoming increasingly chaotic.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!!"

Seven pillars of light struck down like bolts from the blue.

The golden light struck Yuwen Nai, green light struck Yidong Temple, gray light struck Kuku Da.

Mai Erxun and other Primordial Dragon Demons faced the impact of the red light.

Zhuang Lingspring and Zhuang Chuan Xia among the Primordial Ruling Demons received the baptism of blue light.

Peach Tietze and her offspring were enveloped by turquoise light, as if bathed in divine grace.

And the purple light, specific to desire, mostly struck Aegifura, with a lesser amount raining down on Aegi Mogo.

"Roar!!"

"Awooo! Power! I can feel the power!"

Yidong Temple and Mai Erxun howled the loudest.

Their bodies swelled, their blood vessels briefly bulging out, endless power flooding their organs, fortifying their bones, purifying their souls, and cleansing the impurities within their demonic bodies.

Only to hear a crack, Mai Erxun, who had only ascended to Great Completion two hundred years ago, experienced a rank advancement again, equalling the other monarchs, ascending to Supreme Holy Completion, his position as firm as Mount Tai.

As for Yidong Temple, already at Supreme Holy Completion, emerald ghost flames engulfed his entire body, his demonic heart shattered in an instant and then reformed, a life fluctuation closely resembling Yuwen Nai’s furiously surging within him.

"No, Aegifura! Do not absorb that power!"

Unable to endure the piercing pain in his brow, Ye Hanjun forcefully tore off his armor and, in human form, loudly warned the Primordial Enchanting Demon in the heart of the formation.
