Demon Cultivator

"Fellow Daoist Yun, did you know that the Path of Heaven finally showed up?" A man with dark red hair, dark red eyes, and a dark red robe asked with a smile. He was ceremoniously drinking tea.

He had a charm that no woman could resist and a dark red aura gathered at his body.

"I learned about it yesterday when I was fishing and I saw the sign of Heaven growing up." Yun Haoran said with a smile, also drinking tea. The both of them had set a tea picnic in the forest where trees thrive.

Yun Haoran had also set a table made of roots and grown himself some tea, the young man on the other plucked those leaves and aged them with his own methods. It may be a mortal tea which is bland for them but they all drank it with happiness in their eyes.

If someone were to see this kind of scene, they would never believe that these two are actually close to each other.

"To know the sign of Heaven changing, this Chen is really envious." The young man or rather Chen Xiu replied.

"Fellow Daoist, your talent and physique are unparalleled. Why are you making me blush here?" Yun Haoran asked while looking at the young man with a teasing tone.

"Heavenly Slaughter Physique, if I am not here, you are undoubtedly #1 in the Eastern Continent, Fellow Daoist." Yun Haoran added. He was also saying that he was the #1 and Chen Xiu was the #2 which is the reason why Chen Xiu's smile became crooked.

A physique is like a Spiritual Root in that it helps the absorption of Qi but it also has many benefits like the larger quality of Meridian and Dantian and Superhuman Strength.

It also helps with comprehension and understanding of the elusive 'Great Dao' that is suited to their Physique. The reason why it was sought out if discovered, is it has a great chance to soar in the sky. Those who have a Physique had a chance to become a Holy Son or Daughter in their respective Sect.

Although if discovered by a Devil Cultivator, they could become a Devil Slave or die by Devourment.

Heavenly Slaughter Physique is a physique that helps Chen Xiu to know the meaning of Slaughter and even as a baby have the Slaughter Intent. His attacks are bloody and the side effects of Demon Cultivation are negated with his physique.

"Heavenly Grade Wood Spiritual Root. I would not believe it is only Spiritual Root that makes you soar in the sky. You should have an unknown physique, Fellow Daoist." Chen Xiu replied with flattery but also wanted to know something else entirely.

"Our Master is a Saint so you should know about it, Fellow Daoist Chen." Yun Haoran said with a smile.

"Let's change the subject lest we become arrogant. Di Lushi has become Grotto Heaven. The first in our generation." Chen Xiu talked about the news that exploded the entire Heavenly Earth Empire. The Empire where the Di Royal Family ruled.

"So what, that arrogant bastard had only brawn but no brain. He only talks about the Sword which is too boring for me." Yun Haoran said, ridiculing Di Lushi, the Crown Prince of Heavenly Earth Empire, an Empire that could contend with sects and other factions.

"To your tone, you don't expect that idiot. Hahahaha." Chen Xiu laughed out loud while Yun Haoran expressed his own laughter.

The two are like rivals that had met on the road. Chen Xiu is regarded as the strongest but 14-year-old Yun Haoran breaks that thought when he defeated him.

"Did the Saintess of High Heaven Sect still try to make you her Dao Companion?" Yun Haoran then asked another question which Chen Xiu twitched in response.

"Fellow Daoist, that witch, no she is a vixen, is still trying to get me. Why don't you try flirting with her?" Chen Xiu pleaded as he was trying to bow his head but he was shocked by the reply of Yun Haoran.

Chen Xiu cannot be a problem for the Saintess of High Heaven Sect if she is pursuing him. He has great looks and charm that could become the center everywhere. He has a physique, but he did not use it to slaughter any mortals even if he was bored.

"No thank you. I am loyal to one, you see. Even if space-time, life, and death distorted our love. I'll stick to her even for three thousand lifetimes and if I become the strongest, I'll find her." Yun Haoran replied with reminiscences, love, and affection.

"Weird way to say "I love her even if she rejected me." Chen Xiu laughed while teasing Yun Haoran.

"But who would dare to reject someone like you, Fellow Daoist?" He added with a question.

"No comment and you are misunderstanding something, I mean it literally. And you would not lose if you accepted that proposal to become her Dao Companion.

Regarded as the most beautiful of the entirety of the Eastern Continent. A talent and background like no other. You would not lose out but become a winner in life." Yun Haoran said with a smile on his face.

"That's the problem, I'll be converted to become a Righteous Cultivator. I am a Demon, a Demon. I cannot drink my wine and only tea. I cannot hunt Devils and eat Demon Beasts like how I wanted.

I also needed to be in a constant state of battle because of assassinations from other factions." Chen Xiu said, pointing at Yun Haoran. Saying all the cons of the World.

"Don't sweat the small stuff. Fellow Daoist. Your sect could become a Righteous Sect if you all change the name of your Sect. She is also a Devil Hunter and likes to drink. Of course, you would never know about it. Hahahaha." Yun Haoran replied while also teasing Chen Xiu with underlying meaning.

"If you are saying that. You should have had a tea party with her but that woman drank wine instead. How many bottles before she fell asleep?" Chen Xiu suddenly realized and asked. Smiling widely and fantasizing about something.

"8 bottles of Crimson Purgatory." Yun Haoran replied in which Chen Xiu had a paralyzed expression but before he could reply anything, an explosion happened in the surrounding area. Darkness and Devourment become prominent that Life nearly extinguishes itself.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, why are those Devils so excited to meet you that they surprise you with an explosion?" Chen Xiu asked. It may not be some kind of question but about teasing already.

"I poke their ass so they become dogs in heat, simple as that." Yun Haoran replied with a smile on his face. Trees in the surrounding area started moving. A large number of roots pierced the hearts of those Devils.

"These idiots. Gu Yan is not like this though?" Chen Xiu replied, readying himself.

"Gu Yan is an exception of the Devil Cultivators and is also regarded as the #1 Devil in our generation. He also has the capability of someone to become like their Ancestors and Progenitors." Yun Haoran replied back with some information. Those Devils are fighting the roots, they use their strongest weapons, martial arts, or spells but to no avail.

Some resisted but they could not do anything to those roots because it may look like a simple part of a tree but it is connected to a far larger technique and also the core principle of his Saint Grade technique.

Chen Xiu also smiled as a killing intent sundered the Heavens and decimated all those Devils with a wave of his hands. Blood splattered all around him as his eyes glowed with boundless intent to slaughter all.

He doesn't need a sword because his hands become the greatest weapon for slaughter. He also laughed out loud because he was enjoying himself. His laugh is not eerie but charming, to say the least. Maybe because to realize Slaughter, he needed to laugh because Laughter with S is Slaughter.

It is not a joke but an experience for himself. The more he laughs while killing, the stronger his attacks become.

To know that he was defeated by Yun Haoran contrary to the powers they are showing is an immense underestimation of Yun Haoran.

He can use other techniques but he preferred using the manipulation of trees. He has another Saint Grade Technique he created that those in the Central Continent never know. He had blocked his understanding of it because he didn't know who he was connected to.

It was also his Main technique and Wood Manipulation is just a sub technique.

Yun Haoran waved his hand, a manifestation of a hand that slapped those Devils into oblivion. They are a Qi Sea Cultivator but to those two they are like bugs that they could squash at any moment in time.

There are Early Grade Grotto Heaven that try resisting for a few minutes but they cannot do anything. They had called forth their Devil Sacramage to no avail.

Screams of terror and escape of others can be heard and a while later, the surroundings return to having trees and beautiful scenery again. There are no devils or Devil's bodies in sight as they all become the nutrients for the surrounding.

"To purify even the vilest of energies, Fellow Daoist Yun is truly marvelous." Chen Xiu nodded his head in appreciation.

"Thank you Fellow Daoist for helping this poor Daoist." Yun Haoran said and a glorious entity descended. He has a boundless killing on him. He is a middle-aged man with a sword scar on his face.

"I meet Saint Killing Sword." Yun Haoran added.

"To poke the dog's ass, you have a lot of courage." Saint Killing Sword said to Yun Haoran with seriousness on his face.

"Hehe, the Saint praised this junior too much. I'll be going now Senior. I'll see you later, Fellow Daoist Chen." Yun Haoran bowed his head and escaped. He was uncomfortable talking to someone his Master had defeated.

And if he pokes the Killing Sword's ass, he may not return alive.

"Master, just what stage did that guy attain?" Chen Xiu asked while wondering out loud.

"Like Master, like Disciple. They use something to hide something. Hahahaha. Become stronger than him in this Path of Heaven Chen Xiu." Elder Killing Sword said.

Killing Sword, he was regarded as the rival of Gold Sword in their youth but the arrogance of Killing Sword bloated him up that he challenged Gold Sword for a duel of Life and Death that he had lost.

Gold Sword never killed him in the end for different reasons.

He could heal the scar on his face but it was a wake-up call how he was also an arrogant young man.

The Path of Heaven only accepted disciples below 30 years old. They have great talent and have attained at least a Meridian Opening or higher. Those with a great physique and great foundation would undoubtedly become the top at this stage.

"The mark he left on my face still tingles but a good slap to wake me up. You are different Chen Xiu for being defeated early on. You would know how vast the sky is and how tiny we are." Elder Killing Sword said and only Chen Xiu nodded in response.

When Chen Xiu was defeated, anger rose in his heart but he discovered a more potent idea of Slaughter. It was his first defeat but a great sign nonetheless.

He was a talent because a defeat for him was not the end but a new beginning and a new learning.

But first, he needed to steal some Crimson Purgatory. It was too hard for him to reject the most sought out beauty and now, with that confirmation, he could make it an official. Having a Dao Companion that is.
