A Demon's Journey

Sargan's released a bit of Zara's blood and her soul.

Zara's soul appeared before him, a whisp of purple flames flickering in the air. As he watched, the flames coalesced into a shape that he recognized as Zara's spirit.

With a commanding tone, he barked out, "Use your blood and open this barrier."

Unexpectedly, the spirit let out a loud cackle of laughter that echoed in Sargan's mind. It was an unsettling sound, but Sargan remained entirely calm as he held the vial of blood out to the spirit.

"Open the barrier," he repeated, his voice firm and unwavering.

Zara's spirit floated before Sargan, her essence appearing as a whisp of purple flames that flickered in the air.

Sargan could sense her hesitation, as if she was contemplating his request. But then, her voice echoed in his mind, full of bitterness and anger.

"To think that the demon who killed me is a member of the lowly Bach clan," Zara said, her words dripping with disdain.

Sargan's expression remained impassive as he extended his hand towards her.

Pure Demonic Ardor surged from his fingertips, enveloping Zara's soul in a relentless wave of pain. The sensation was like being stabbed with a thousand blades all at once.

Zara cried out, her voice echoing in Sargan's mind. But he didn't relent. He continued to apply the pressure, forcing her to comply with his demand.

"Do as I say, or I can remove your consciousness," Sargan threatened, his voice as cold as ice.

Zara's willpower faltered under the relentless assault of his Demonic Ardor. Soon, her blood began to glow with a faint light, indicating that she had complied with his request.

Sargan ceased his torture and placed her back inside the ring.

His calm demeanor remained unfaltering as he retrieved a jade knife from his Mystic Spiritual Connection Ring and drew it across his finger. Blood welled up from the wound, dripping steadily onto the ground.

Sargan then took control of both his own blood and Zara's, channeling them towards the barrier. With a wave of his hand, the blood began to swirl and coalesce into a pulsing crimson glow that surrounded the barrier.

As the transformation of the barrier began, Sargan remained calm and focused, directing the flow of blood with precision. The barrier soon gave way, creating a path for Sargan to continue his mission.

However, the tranquility of the moment was shattered by a piercing alarm that reverberated across the vast territory of the Olmer Clan.

The alarm signaled that the barrier had been breached, and the experts of the Demon Emperor quickly mobilized to respond to the intrusion.

Sargan remained composed even as he noticed the arrival of the powerful patriarch of the Olmer Clan, Jovic Olmer, who was likely leading the charge.

His calmness was unsurprising given that he had already breached the barrier and was on his way to achieve his objective.

To add to the chaos, the alarm had also sounded in the Bach Clan's territory, signaling that the barrier had been compromised.

Notably, the Demon Emperors of the Bach Clan, including Sargan's own father, Zoltan Bach, had arrived at the scene, their presence further complicating matters.

Zoltan was astonished to see his son, Sargan. If he remembered correctly, Sargan had been thrown in Frascoia Continent and he had already prepared himself for his death.

However, it appeared that his speculation was untrue as Sargan had now returned. Moreover, Sargan's demonic ardor was much more powerful and mysterious compared to before.

It made Zoltan wonder just what Sargan had experienced on the Frascoia Continent in those ten thousand hours he had spent on the Frascoia Continent.

"Zoltan! Your brat just passed through the barrier. How did he do that?!" Jovic asked with a resounding shout.

"Shut it, Jovic! It was most definitely one of the foolish members of your clan. Someone who can't even control his clan has no right to poke his stick in my clan. So, fuck off!" Zoltan was not the slightest bit polite.

"Oh really! Why don't you help me open this barrier and I will show you whether I have any right or not!" Jovic bellowed angrily. A purple aura began to leak from his body as even the Demon Emperors on his side were startled and somewhat cautious.

Meanwhile, Zoltan's eyes changed color as they turned pure crimson as he glared at Jovic, "I won't be the one who regrets opening this barrier!"

And at this moment, something surprising occurred. The barrier between them suddenly opened.

This was such a shocking event that neither Zoltan's nor Jovic's side moved for the next five seconds. They hadn't yet thrown their blood at the barrier.

However, once these five seconds elapsed, all the Demon Emperors disappeared from view as they began to battle.

Shockwaves could be felt across both territories which resulted in massive craters and tremors.

Sargan had already backed away by this time while utilizing his Evil Abyss Pupils to conceal his spiritual aura.

He was waiting for the battle to end.

At this moment, Sargan noticed the land in Bach Clan's territory began to radiate a crimson glow.

It made Sargan understand that this was probably one of the defensive arrays of the Bach Clan.

This made Sargan understand that the battle was occurring over the Bach Clan's territory!

Zoltan must have felt suppressed at Jovic's hands and had utilized this array to strengthen his Ardor.

Sargan's guess was soon proven right as Jovic soon appeared on the other side of the barrier before it closed quickly. He seemed rather injured as his purple blood leaked over from injuries all over his body.

Sargan's own father wasn't in perfect condition as well. There was a massive hole in his stomach. However, he still stood tall and radiated an imposing aura.

"We need to have a long talk," Zoltan spoke as he glared at Sargan.

He knew fully well that it was Sargan who had opened that barrier. He had no idea how his son had convinced a member of the Olmer Clan to take part in this madness.

"Sure. I have a lot to tell you," Sargan spoke with a conniving smile.

As he returned to the Bach Clan, he explained the details to council members of the clan.

Naturally, these details explained the breakthrough and the mutation of his Evil Eyes to the Evil Abyss Pupils.

This startled the members of the Bach Clan.

Although there had been many mutations of Evil Eyes in the family, it was the first time they had witnessed a mutation with pupils that actually possessed such rare ocular abilities as the Abyss Eyes.

Lastly, Sargan revealed that he had stumbled across ruins that held a totem with a trace of soul of Nether Devil God. With his good luck, he had become the legacy inheritor of the Nether Devil God.

As proof, Sargan revealed Zara's soul and blood to his clan members and also informed them this was how he opened the barrier.

All members of his clan were startled as they heard this information! They never anticipated that Sargan would have the fortune of entering ruins contained the Nether Devil God's soul.

And as expected, all members of the Bach Clan asked for the Nether Devil God Mantra.

This caused a sinister smile to break out on Sargan's face as he handed them the cultivation technique. However, it wasn't the Nether Devil God Mantra, but the Nether Devil Slave Mantra.
