Celestial Peak

Chapter 503: Devil's Pride I

Without care for those around her, Yan Renhuo blew the Devil Emperor Revenant thousands of kilometers away. For beings like them, such a thing as the distance was but a suggestion, they could reach any place anywhere, but this kind of force was still absurd.

Lying on a pool of flowing lava, the Devil Revenant could feel his body aching. Obsidian Marks writhed as it ebbed from his face and into his body. God's Mark protected him, but it was not enough to fully dissipate the power of the True Chaos Flames.

"The hurt more than I expected it to be." The Devil Emperor Revenant's body was beyond anything this Cosmos had ever seen. It could contend up till the second-Generation Deities. However, a Devil's body was the peak of strength and sturdiness, it could match and even surpass a Dragon's Scale or a Black Turtle's Shell.

However, before the power of the True Chaos Flames, even the Devil Revenant Emperor could not do anything but guard. Blew away, his skin and hair were scorched, "Tsk, even as a Devil Emperor I cannot match the power of the True Chaos Flames if only Fer or Suzhen would answer myshit!"

FWU!

A figure clad in gray flames appeared above him, the world began to heat up. She was not going to let up in a fight to the death against someone like the Devil Emperor Revenant. She was not so nave to give a single opening to breath. Without holding back, Yan Renhuo gathered her qi and flames at a single point! Yan Renhuo was livid as she almost died from a sneak attack. But even more, so that he lived.

Her qi surged, and her entire being wrapped in flames erupted into a massive blaze. On her palms appeared was a giant ball hundreds of meters big. A massive force appeared, kilometers span yet the heat it released could still be felt.

The greeneries that survived all turned to ashes in a split-second the world seemed desolate. As though brought back to the time when the Cosmos was nothing more than darkness and the Chaos Flames was the only thing that ravaged everything, Yan Renhuo brought down the ball of flames, "True Chaos Flames: Creation Sun!!"

HONG!

Concentrated flame, a ball that was so strong that it depleted oxygen and rendered the space. If not for their qi, mortals for thousands of kilometers would burn in mere moments, and if used outside the Origin World, a normal world like the Celestial Spirit Realm would burn!

On his back, the Devil Emperor Revenant had no sword, not even a single ounce of elemental qi. He was no Holy Race member, he was a member of the Devil Race, and in his body dwelled the purest form of its bloodline, so pure that could match the GodKing.

So, how would a member of the Devil Race defend against such a massive force to be reckoned with? The answer would be, their own body.

The Devil Emperor Revenant summoned a sword and imbued it without everything that he had, "God's Mark + Purest Emperor Hellish Qi 10% + Space Manipulation + Quintessence of Slaughter."

He flexed his muscled yet made them all the more fluid, the sword became obsidian in color, the world trembled, and the ground below him crumbled, "Blood Seeking Sword: Blood Fall."

If Yan Renhuo's qi was so overwhelming that it was oppressive, then, the Devil Emperor Revenant's presence was so fine-tuned that he was in a world of his own! The space around his sword and body caved and the air rendered with slow movement.

Quite literally, without fearing for the repercussions, the Devil Emperor Revenant poured everything that had in the 

Slash!

Like the entire world of Origin bent to his will, the ball of Chaos Flames was split in half. The sword melted and from behind the ball of flames was Yan Renhuo coming to take him out with her own hands.

Yan Renhuo already wanted to end the fight by ambushing the Revenant if the attack failed. She did not expect the Creation Sun would fail to even reach the Revenant. The Devil Emperor Revenant cut the sun in half and the remnant sword intent flew over to Yan Renhuo. It was minuscule, but it was enough to kill her.

It was too late to dodge so she let released a burst of flames from her left hand and allowed it to be severed. The hand that was disappeared, rendered by the materialized killing intent, but, why should Yan Renhuo care about such paltry issues?

She was an Immortal, an ascended being, one that had achieved her own path. Even if her heart or head was to be ripped apart, she would live, and even if all her limbs were to be chopped all of it would regrow the next moment!

FwU!

Her left hand, from the bones, to muscles, veins, meridians, everything reverted to its place. A hand grew, and other than her clothes, it seemed like nothing had changed.

The strongest suit of a cultivator who had walked their own path was that they understand their bodies so much that they instinctively hold information about themselves. Not only was the law and mandate they cultivated stored in what they call God Soul.

The God Soul retain the information of their peak and would continuously improve as long as the Cultivator was alive. If the cultivator with a God Soul gets damaged, then they could just copy the God Soul and materialize what they had lost.

The God Soul would cultivate what was used, and when needed could be used again. A never-ending qi cycle would form and would result in the cultivator being always at its peak.

And if the God Soul has its limits no one had seen its limits just yet.

"True Chaos Flames: Blazing Lance."

STAB!

Yan Renhuo pierced through the Devil Emperor Revenant's body and on her hand, was its still-beating heart, "Checkmate."

Splurt! 

She crushed his heart without mercy."

The Devil Emperor Revenant smiled.

"Checkmate indeed."

STAB!

He too took and crushed her heart.

"That won't kill-Ugh!" but, as she spoke, her flames began to run wild, and then... it turned into a blaze, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

She screamed as the flames she tried her best to contain rampaged. The Devil Revenant cut his arm off and jumped back.

"So my theory was correct. The Hellish Qi did act as fuel. What a beautiful bonfire."

The Devil Revenant then smirked while cladding his body with God's Mark and after a second, the heart he lost, returned. "You see Sister Renhuo, you're stronger than me in all turns. You have higher cultivation, and higher weapons like the True Chaos Flames, but, I'm more knowledgeable than you. After all, I was the one who gave you that power, to begin with. Now, let's see if you'll burn for eternity, or turn to ashes first."

The Devil Emperor Revenant walked away and turned his attention to his next opponents. He brought out his sword, saying, "Now, I can use my sword again... I can kill everyone faster."

No matter who or what, a Revenant was still a Wang Ling.
