Way of the Devil Chapter 719

“Forget it, it's getting late . I should deal with this issue first . ” Lu Sheng looked at the sun . Then, he looked around himself at his surroundings .

 He noticed with shock that the underground cave this Abomination was hiding in was on an intersection point of the cursed land's ley lines .

 This was the center of the cursed land .

 'Legend has it that Abominations were born from the hatred of the fallen gods . Some legends say that they're immortal monsters that arose from the corpses of the gods . ' Lu Sheng held Enifers as he leapt into the pit again .

 Thud .

 He landed firmly on the bottom of the pit .

 He was standing within an underground palace hewn out of rock . The spot where he stood was coincidentally the top of the underground palace .

 However, when Enifers leapt out moments ago, he had crashed through the top of the palace and left a hole there .

 Lu Sheng carried Enifers and leapt into the underground palace .

 “Ah! Oh, sun! Your radiance has made me lose my light . You've given warmth and illumination to all things, yet I alone have you forgotten . ”

 Lu Sheng had barely the time to look at his surroundings in the underground palace when he saw a colossal monster which was a round mass of faces and arms rolling toward himself at speed .

 “Another Abomination?” Lu Sheng immediately sensed a similar aura from this creature .

 “I am Duma . I was born to exact revenge on the light!” the faces on this monster spoke at the same time . Their voices formed an eerie symphony that sent shivers down the listeners' spines .

 Any mere mortal would have lost all control over his body when he heard this voice, and he would become this monster's slave .

 The round mass more than 10 meters tall came to a stop before Lu Sheng . The ball opened itself up as if it was a flower bud with layers of petals . The innermost human face was revealed .

 “Looks like I've come to the right place…” Lu Sheng looked at the fleshy ball before him, and then he looked at Enifers in his hand . He gave a satisfied smile .

 Two years later…

 After long years of trudging, the seven-colored dragon queen Eernie finally settled her tribe on a small island with extremely suitable living conditions .

 This island was hence named Seven-colored Dragon Island .

 However, soon after they settled down, an octopus-like deep-sea monster started appearing in the seas around them . The monster had sneaked up upon and even killed two young seven-colored dragons .

 The Seven-colored Dragon Tribe had been a small tribe to begin with . Now, their numbers dwindled even more .

 With a mix of rage and sadness, the dragon queen Eernie led her tribesmen to slaughter the monster . They eventually succeeded in killing the deep-sea octopus .

 However, they had committed a grave mistake .

 The deep-sea octopus was actually one of the most powerful children of Sardine .

 As the overlord of the deep-sea region, the demigod Sardine ruled over the vast oceans in the area, including the Seven-colored Dragon Island, with his colossal body .

 Even among demigods, Sardine was at least more than 10 times stronger than ordinary human demigods .

 He was an ancient being that had lived for 10,000 years . He had also gained insight on and mastered Divinities related to the ocean . On top of that, his enlightenment regarding Divinities was the most profound among demigods .

 The nature of a Divinity was an extreme understanding of natural laws which gave rise to transformations in one's body to better suit the pattern of the rules . Then, one would obtain and be able to unleash greater natural powers .

 When one's body was modified by a Divinity, one would obtain incredible strength . Sardine's modified body was far greater than any other living being's . Naturally, the power he obtained would also be much greater .

 Ever since he defeated the shark demigod Urdala 3,000 years ago, he had never met his match .

 Besides engaging in his hobbies in his base, he would occasionally head out to catch some prey and feast on delicacies .

 Hence, when he heard that his most beloved son was killed by the seven-colored dragons, the newcomers, the rage that surged within Sardine's heart could hardly be described .

 He immediately took on human form and charged toward Seven-colored Dragon Island . However, he was met with nothing .

 The dragon queen Eernie had already brought her tribe away from this island . They searched for a new place to migrate to .

 Sardine immediately sent his subordinates to intercept them .

 However, aside from himself, the highest ranks of his subordinates were only legendary . They were no match for the seven-colored dragons .

 Within these two years, two of Sardine's trusted generals were also assassinated while pursuing the seven-colored dragons .

 Enraged, Sardine gave to order to wipe out the Seven-colored Dragon Tribe . At the same time, he offered a handsome reward in money and treasures for the bounty hunters to hunt the seven-colored dragons .

 He even swore that he would kill every seven-colored dragon he could find .

 This resulted in the tribes that were previously friendly to the seven-colored dragons hesitating to offer them assistance now . The Seven-colored Dragon Tribe was placed in more dire straits .

 “Kill all seven-colored dragons… What a haughty fellow!”

 Within the cursed land's underground palace .

 Lu Sheng sat with his back straight on the only throne in the underground palace . He read the letters containing information collected by his subordinates . A smirk appeared on his face .

 He had been in this world for quite some time now . Although his main body was human, the seven-colored dragons had treated him well .

 “What do you guys say about this?” He tossed the letter casually, and the parchment floated toward a man clad in black to his left .

 “The information is only sent by the fringes of Devil Shadow, we can't be sure of its authenticity . Perhaps we can make a decision after we've ascertained if this information is true or not,” replied the man in black in a dull tone .

 “Although I'm no longer involved in Devil Shadow's management, the precision of their information can still be trusted,” Lu Sheng explained .

 Within the darkness to his right, a blurry black shadow with a huge size squatted . At this moment, the black shadow spoke up as well . Its voice was as deep as a middle-aged man's . “The issue at hand is that Sardine's whereabouts are unknown . With them on the run from Sardine, it'll be harder to locate the seven-colored dragons . Even if we wish to help, there's nothing we can do if we can't reach them . ”

 Lu Sheng looked around at the other subordinates spread out to his sides . The others said nothing . It was clear that they had no intention of voicing their opinions on this piece of information .

 Throughout these two years, he had swiftly subdued 12 powerful beings of different styles and established the most powerful group here .

 This time, Lu Sheng planned to nurture them into becoming a trusted force . He did not merely wish for them to be his trusted lackeys here, he wanted to shape them up into a terrifying army capable of waging war for him in the various worlds .

 However, to achieve that, he would have to overcome many obstacles .

 “Well then, we shall put this on hold and wait for more—”

 Lu Sheng had not finished when a pillar of black flames suddenly appeared to his right .

 The pillar of fire only stayed for a short moment before fading into oblivion . A black letter flew out of it and reached Lu Sheng's hands .

 He picked it up and took a glance .

 “Oh? They came all the way here?” Lu Sheng shook the letter in his hand slightly . His expression was one of surprise .

 “Eni, you're in charge of the Black Rock Plan now . I'm going out to meet two tribesmen who have traveled far . ” Lu Sheng stood up and quickly made arrangements .

 “Understood . ” The man in black to his left hastily nodded .

 Lu Sheng waved his arm, and a purple oval Transport Door opened up before himself . He took a step into it and vanished before his throne .

 When he reappeared, he was already standing in a valley behind Dawn City .

 The chirping of birds and aroma of flowers filled the air in the valley . The air was refreshingly cool . The rocks on the ground and walls of the valley were covered in moss and vines .

 The aura of spring seemed to be everywhere .

 Lu Sheng hastened his footsteps as he gradually made his way deeper into the valley . He soon stopped before an abandoned mine .

 A white-haired old man in red robes and a staff in hand stood before the entrance to the mine .

 When he saw Lu Sheng, the old man hastily bowed and saluted .

 “My Lord, they're in the cave . I have already placed a magic formation that conceals auras . There shouldn't be a problem for the time being . ”

 “Mm-hm . You can rest now . ” Lu Sheng nodded .

 “Understood . ” The old man casually conjured a Transport Door and stepped into it . The door vanished and closed behind him on its own .

 Lu Sheng strode into the cave . Before long, he saw two young seven-colored dragons who were not very large . They were resting against the wall, covered in wounds .

 “Keboye? Sari?” Lu Sheng was stunned . He did not expect the two young dragons to be the ones that hatched at the same time as him .

 His voice immediately awakened the two exhausted young dragons .

 “Rargh!”

 Keboye abruptly brought his body to its full height . He glared at Lu Sheng with his dragon eyes .

 “Sari! Get behind me!” he shouted .

 Sari obediently and swiftly made her way behind Keboye . The two young dragons were only more than three meters in height . A dozen years or so for dragons were like a couple of years for humans .

 As seven-colored dragons who only matured after 300 years, the two of them were some ways away from being adults .

 “How did the two of you find out that I'll be here?” Lu Sheng released some of his dragon might .

 The two young dragons suddenly shook . This familiar dragon might reminded them of their companion Lu Sheng, who had gone missing many years ago .

 “You… Could it be…” Sari widened her eyes and jumped out from behind Keboye .

 “It's me…” Lu Sheng smiled . He was ready to reconcile with them .

 “Wait up!” Suddenly, a gender-neutral female voice resounded throughout the cave .

 A silver figure quickly planted itself between Lu Sheng and the two young seven-colored dragons .

 It was a beautiful woman with long silver hair . However, her beauty was similar to Hongye's—they were gender-neutral .

 Unlike Hongye's ever-changing air, this woman had a solemn and heavy air about her .

 “Sister Tia?” The two young dragons looked at the woman with surprised looks .

 “Do not believe someone else just because of a few words . How many times have I told the two of you this? Can you still not remember this?” The woman produced a silver short spear from behind herself . “Since I've promised to send the two of you back, I won't let you come to any harm . ”

 As she spoke, she radiated silver light spots which gathered on the short spear in her hand . A heavy and powerful might started filling the entire cave .

 Lu Sheng was first stunned . Then, he gave a casual and genial smile .

 “Lady Tia, was it? Thank you for taking care of Sari and Keboye . My name's Lu Sheng . I'm also a seven-colored dragon . I'm not the one you should be guarded against . ”

 He slowly released the dragon might unique to a seven-colored dragon . At the same time, he restored his eyes back to a seven-colored dragon's with vertical pupils .

 The woman was stunned as she felt this similar dragon might . When she saw the transformation of Lu Sheng's eyes, she caught the surprised looks on the two young dragons behind her with the edge of her vision .

 “Big Brother Lu Sheng!”

 The two young dragons cried and shouted as they bounded up to Lu Sheng . They embraced him and cried their hearts out .

 “Big Brother… the tribe leader… She…” Sari seemed to have finally found an outlet for all the bottled-up emotions she had . She seemed to be sobbing so hard that it was difficult for her to speak .

 “There, there… It's alright now…” Lu Sheng patted their backs lightly .

 Tia sighed with relief . She remembered the scene where she had rescued these two young dragons back then .

 Nobody had dared to help the Seven-colored Dragon Tribe for fear of crossing Sardine .

 However, she'd already been a wanted criminal to begin with . Since she had owed the others a great deal, it was not difficult for her to offer assistance to some young dragons she'd happened upon on the road .

 “A person who carries all hatred . ” This was her motto .

 While the two young dragons were happily reunited with their kin, she quietly made her way to the cave's entrance . She looked up at the skies .

 Through the thick layers of clouds, a golden beam of sunlight shone down on her like a straight arrow .

 She vaguely remembered the night when her tribe was wiped out .

 Because of her capriciousness, cover up, and vanity, her entire tribe had been impaled by silver spears onto crosses .

 From that day onward, her world changed .

 Getting revenge became her sole purpose in life .

 She gave up on everything she had in order to exact revenge, even though she knew just how slim the chances were .

 Her target was too powerful . Even if she gave it her all, she would not have a chance of coming back alive .

 “Where are you going?” Suddenly, the voice of that Lu Sheng reached her from behind .

 “To do what I'm supposed to . ”

 Tia waved her hand without even turning back .

 “If you need any help, you can find me in Dawn City . To thank you for bringing these two here safely, I'll help you once . That's my promise,” Lu Sheng said with a smile .

 “There's no need for that . I'm only following my heart and doing what I want to . ” Tia paused before freely replying, “See you… no, goodbye forever . It's best if you guys aren't involved with me . ”

 She quickly vanished deep within the valley . She had no idea just how powerful the promise she obtained from an unintentional act of good deed was .

 Lu Sheng looked at her receding back from the cave's entrance . He only made his way back after she vanished completely from sight .

 “Investigate this . Help her take care of any trouble she's facing . ” Lu Sheng instantly sent out an order with his spirit . It seemed that she had no idea just how meaningful a favor from him could be .

 In a slightly darker corner of the valley, several pitch-black shadows suddenly wriggled and vanished . In the blink of an eye, they vanished from the spot as if they had never been there .
