Eternal Life Chapter 27

Sky, Earth, and Humanoid, Three Devils

Flying Yasha!

[TL: It is now Yasha because I searched the Chinese characters and it turns out there is an English translation]

They were devil beings only heard about in legends. Extremely ferocious, their bodies were strong like steel, strength incomparably great. From their backs extended two wings of flesh which could be used to glide through the air. They were the leaders of the Devils amongst the Underground Abyss, and were known as the Devil Generals.

They, especially the Flying Yasha, were extremely intelligent, and were pretty much no different from humans, as they were able to cultivate profound martial arts. Because they could fly, they were simply invincible against pract.i.tioners of the Mortal Realm.

Facing these Devil Generals, only Divine Realm pract.i.tioners could suppress and contend with them.

The skin of these Flying Yasha was especially strong, as hard as bone and almost impenetrable even with a flying sword. They also had great inner vitality. Even if one had its head cut off, the lower body could continue killing people. Only after a couple s.h.i.+’chen would it finally stop breathing and die.

[TL: A s.h.i.+’chen is two hours]

These monsters glided towards them like lightning, their speed very fast. Even killing one required many experts to surround it, how could they deal with ten?
Fang Han’s face became very horrendous.

He felt wave after wave of danger invading his heart.

He had read about Flying Yasha in his copy of ‘The World’. It had described the horrific races of the Underground Abyss, starting with the Devils, then the Yasha, and finally, the Flying Yasha.

One Flying Yasha could command anywhere from 10000 to 20000 Devils. They were truly Devil Generals.

With his abilities, if he used the ‘Spirit Wind Sword’, perhaps he would have the opportunity to kill a Flying Yasha. However, killing two was definitely a word of death.

“Die die, die die, die die.”

[TL: They aren’t saying die, they are making sounds]

The ten Flying Yasha landed behind the young looking Pink Prince, emitting burst after burst of a piercing, horrendous ‘die die’ sound. Afterwards, from among the Devil Generals who were wielding pitch-black, steel tridents, one of them spoke out in human language, “Okay, Yu’hua School, so many disciples are here today. It is truly so great. To let us receive so much blood and flesh, especially that of Divine Realm experts. To let us gain so many corpses to bring underground and refine into powerful golden puppets! We will also gain quite a couple ling’qi.”

This Devil General stood s.h.i.+ning under the moonlight, their steel trident flas.h.i.+ng with blue light. Clearly, it had been soaked in poisons.

This Devil General’s red eyes swept across the group of Yu’hua School disciples. When they swept over Fang Han, Fang Han felt as if he had fallen into a pool of blood, his mouth and nose filled with b.l.o.o.d.y qi.

The wisdom of the Flying Ye’cha Devil Generals was very high. To be proficient in speaking a wide variety of languages was not as easy as one would think. If they weren’t intelligent, they would only kill and eat human flesh.

“You Earth Devils and Humanoid Devils have always killed each other. In the Seven Devil Path Clans, Earth Devils practiced the best outer body techniques. To think that you all have now united together, did you all reach some kind of agreement?” coldly asked Yuan Jian Kong, Rank Ten of the Shan’he Rankings.

“The three underground Devil Sovereigns and we have already agreed and signed a pact. We are determined to end the Ten Immortal Path Schools, starting first in the Han’hai Desert. Afterwards, our great army will advance step by step, and flatten the empires protected by the Ten Immortal Path Schools, while at the same time extinguis.h.i.+ng your ten sects. We shall build the country of our dreams. Within the country imagined by the Devil Emperors, people, Demons, and Devils shall coexist, living together in cities, conducting business, growing crops, and managing all together, devoid of discrimination and fighting. It will be a country which doesn’t care about appearances and incompatibilities. Since ancient times, coexistence of humans, Demons, G.o.ds, and Devils has been the dreams of a Golden Age. You Immortal Path followers are divided between beauty and ugliness, good and evil. You have let humans, Demons, and Devils ma.s.sacre each other, and have caused many wars. Right now, all the killings shall end, and your beautiful yet ugly, good yet evil Immortal Path will be extinguished. Between the heavens and earth, we shall usher in a world devoid of beauty and ugliness, good and evil. Humans, G.o.ds, Demons, and Devils shall coexist in a new Golden Age,” softly said the Pink Prince in a sweet voice, sounding like a woman. “Your deaths are only but the starting point.”

“Underground Devil Sovereigns!”
Upon hearing the Pink Prince’s words, Fang Han thought of what he had read within ‘The World’. Devils were split into three different types.

The first kind were Humanoid Devils.

They were also known as the human type. They cultivated according to the Devil Path to the Divine Realm. For example, the Seven Devil School’s Xian’tian Sect, Zhang’hen Sect, and Hong’chen Sect, etc.

The second kind were Earth Devils. They were the ones which lived in the Underground Abyss, their lives brutal and evil, yet still filled with wisdom.

The third kind were Sky Devils. Sky Devils were the most mysterious kind, coming from the void in the skies. They were a diverse kind, experts at conquest and slaughter.

[TL: They all cultivate the Devil Path I believe, but the author leaves it out for the other two]

Humanoid Devils, cultivating the Devil Path, upon reaching the Longevity Realm, would become a Devil Emperor.

Earth Devils, upon reaching the Longevity Realm, would become a Devil Sovereign.

Sky Devils, upon reaching the Longevity Realm, would become a Devil G.o.d.

The training methods of the Devil Path had been spread by the void-residing Sky Devils when they came to earth during ancient times. It was vastly different from the training methods of the Immortal Path. The majority were based on a.s.similating one’s flesh and blood and forced despoilment. It based itself on pus.h.i.+ng out one’s negative emotions, such as anger, hatred, and evil. Using these cruel emotions, it would stimulate the body’s potential.

Compared with the Immortal Path’s care for oneself, warmth, and cloudless emotions, its spirit was clearly vastly different.

Between the heavens and earth, s.p.a.ce-residing Sky Devils were most mysterious.

Earth Devils were the most common.

However, the ones with the greatest power were the Humanoid Devils’ Seven Devil Path Clans, which was composed of Great Devil Emperors, each one in the depths of the Divine Realm with immeasurable magic powers. Humanoid Devils trained and learned techniques according to the Devil Path, but did not have a true Devil body. However, their extraordinary wisdom and ability to ponder the Devil Path’s Divine to a truly perfect state made it so that they were able to overtake the others.

Some Great Devil Emperors were even able to fuse the Immortal Path and Devil Path to create a new kind of Divine, Immortal and Devil blended together, allowing them to dominate the heavens and earth.

Sky, Earth, and Humanoid, the three Devil kinds would often attack each other. For example, Great Devil Emperors would sometimes travel to the void and catch Sky Devils, then sealing them, and turning them into fa’qi.

All of these things had been mentioned in ‘The World’.

Currently, Fang Han’s level had already slowly climbed to the boundary between the eighth and ninth levels. His memory was very deep, and had some ability to not forget what pa.s.sed his eye.

“Flying Yasha, what good things. Our Yu’hua School is also missing this kind of powerful puppet for when we fix houses and mine for treasure. There are ten of them here, let us steal them away one by one and give them to the school’s elders so that the elders can erase their memories and re-refine them. I believe that we can at least receive ten ling’qi, as well as gain great amounts of credit.”

Suddenly, a smile appeared on senior sister disciple Mo’s face, “Brother disciple Yuan, you execute and behead the Pink Prince. My fellow inner court disciples, spread sword array! Execute those ten Yasha! Remaining outer court disciples, charge forward and exterminate the desert bandits.”

Amid her talking, senior sister disciple Mo suddenly waved her hand.

A very long, completely gold rope with some purple bells attached to it flew out from her hands like a spirit snake, tying up the ten Flying Yasha.

At the same time, behind her, a blue flying sword flew out, ready to behead everything.

Following her order, the remaining four inner court disciples also wielded their own respective flying swords, which they sent out, forming a pentagonal array with Mo’s blue flying sword.

“Weng weng weng weng, weng weng weng.”

This pentagonal array made of five flying swords influenced each other with each’s respective magic, complementing each other and greatly increasing in power, constantly rotating to form a violently spinning killing column. The sand surrounding the swords was slowly swept up into the pitch black sky.

Meanwhile, Yuan Jian Kong let out a cold shout, his jade green clothes flas.h.i.+ng to form a ball of light which encompa.s.sed him and caused him to float up. The ‘Silver Snake Sword’ in his hand shone with the radiance of a ferocious silver snake as it slithered towards the Pink Prince.

A fierce fight was about to begin!
‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope!”

[TL: I was really tempted to leave it in pin yin, but it explains it a following paragraph so I translated it. It sounds really really stupid though…]

The ten Devil General Flying Yasha were about to make a move, when suddenly, they saw the long rope that flew out of the hands of senior sister disciple Mo. This rope emitted a poignant flavor of realgar which dispersed with the wind. Upon smelling the fragrant, they felt their strength weaken and bones numb. Afterwards, the rope wound around them, even wrapping up their spirits. It had actually managed to completely wrap them up.

This rope was actually a bao’qi. It was made using 10,000 year old realgar which had been mixed with various treasures and the c.o.c.ks...o...b..blood of 9,999 five color roosters which had been born at noon when yang qi was at its greatest,. Afterwards, it was smelted in the Yu’hua School’s pellet stove and then refined and imbued with magic by the elders. It was specifically made for restraining Earth Devils. Ordinary Earth Devils, upon being wrapped, would become unconscious.

Even Flying Yasha, upon being wrapped, would find it hard to get out. It caused them to feel as if their muscles became soft, causing them to lose a great part of their strength.

In order to refine this rope, one needed rare 10,000 year old realgar, and 9,999 five color roosters. However, these roosters had to be born during noon.

At the time, when one of the Yu’hua School elders refined this bao’qi, the elder personally went down the mountain, traveling to the Da’li, Da’de, and Xu’ri Empires, as well as many small countries in order to procure enough noon born five color roosters. After three years, the elder finally collected the amount necessary.

Think about it, the Yu’hua School controls many empires, perhaps a population totaling twenty billion. In order to collect so many five color roosters, it took them three years. Just how difficult was refining this bao’qi?

It was a special restraint, a treasure of the Earth Devil’s Devil Clans in the Underground Abyss. Roosters have always had abnormally high yang, and very good at fighting. Those born at noon, had even purer yang. The blood from the c.o.c.ks...o...b..on their head contained even purer yang than pure yang.

After refining these materials into the rope, the blood, which contained the purest yang, would fuse with the rope and give it a ferocious spirit soul.

“This bao’qi, how could it be in your hands?”

The Pink Prince’s body let off a red light, and flew up into the sky. It saw the ten Flying Yasha bound by the rope, each violently trying to free itself, yet unable to do to their power being greatly reduced. It saw each one get killed by a flying sword penetrating through each’s heart.

“Pink Prince, we want to kill you, how come you didn’t completely calculate that?”

Senior sister disciple Mo laughed coldly.

“Kill!”

At this time, the desert bandits which had surged around like waves, seeing the scene worsen, surged like a fire with murderous intent, their camels galloping, their generals surging forward, rolling across the desert plain.

“Outer court disciples, you still aren’t blocking them?” senior sister disciple Mo strictly roared.

At this time, the several Da’de princes and princesses began to kill, intercepting the charging desert bandits.

“We shall also kill. This is a good opportunity for us to experience actual combat and sharpen our skills!” said Hong Yi.

“Right!” Fang Han’s fighting spirit had been aroused by the combat earlier, but at the time, he didn’t know if he was supposed to partic.i.p.ate or not. Thus, wielding his ‘Devil Beheading Sword’, he, along with Hong Yi and Liu Kang, walked into the wave of desert bandits and began to kill them.
