Chapter 122 - The Yin Yang Wonderland
On a deserted island in the ocean.
Having grilled fish to eat, lightened both Shi Yan’s and Xia Xinyan’s moods.
Especially Xia Xinyan, whose face became much warmer as soon as the grilled fish entered her stomach.
After Shi Yan ate his fill, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly took out a small bottle from his bag. He went to the water’s edge, by himself, and poured a grey powder from the bottle into the sea. He mixed the powder well with the seawater and thoroughly scrubbed his face with it.
After a while, Shi Yan returned to Xia Xinyan’s side.
Her eyes widened, then she snorted dismissively, “Such a deceiver. So this is your true face, huh?”
Back in the Shi family, in order to conceal his identity in the Martial Competition, he had sought for a disguise artist to change his looks.
But now, as he was in the Endless Sea, leaving the Beiming, Ling, and Mo families far behind, he had no reason to conceal his true features. Thus, he removed his disguise.
Without the disguise, Shi Yan’s looks were quite different. The dark toned skin became lighter, and the bushy black brows became thinner, like sharp swords which cut through his forehead. His face became a little more angular and less rugged, but with more cold and fierce features. He had a unique, unyielding, and imposing visage
Shi Yan wasn’t an extremely handsome man, but he had a special quality, which gave people strong-minded, direct, and fierce impression.
Xia Xinyan glanced at him a few more times, and then said, “The look you have right now fits your arrogant and despicable nature!”
Shi Yan was stunned. So he asked, “Are you complimenting or insulting me?”
“What do you think?”
Shi Yan shook his head, as he didn’t want to haggle over with her on this topic. His expression slowly darkened, and he suddenly asked, “That Demon King Bo Xun, who exactly is he?”
Whenever he thought about that frightening figure, Shi Yan shuddered in his mind. Being able to rip through space and take away the Sky realm Shura King, Xiao Han Yi. The master of such earthshaking powers had made a deep impact on him.
“Bo Xun is one of the two Demon Kings in the Fourth Demon area.”
Whenever Shi Yan mentioned this terrifying master, Xia Xinyan’s expression turned gloomy, “In the Fourth Demon Area, there are two Demon Kings, named Bo Xun and Chi Yan. Both of them are nigh-invincible. Their demon powers are unfathomable and infinite. It is said that they are both on the verge of stepping into the True God realm.”
“Demons can also cultivate? Do they have the same rankings that we do?” Shi Yan was surprised.
“Of course.” Xia Xinyan nodded, and explained, “Not only demons but even the dark dwellers of the Sevenfold Underworld can cultivate! But, whether it be the demons or the dark dwellers, the powers they gather are different than ours. The demons live in the Demon Area and they absorb natural demon energy. The dark dwellers, living in the Sevenfold Underworld, absorb natural dark energy. Demon energy and dark energy are like the natural spirit energies we have here. There are also clusters of these energies that exist in this world. Other than demons and dark dwellers, there are also some foreign clans in the Endless Sea, who also cultivate in spirit energies that are different than ours. But be it the demon energy, dark energy, or spirit energies, they are all different kinds of natural powers. The cultivation of warriors, no matter what spirit energies, are mostly the same...”
Xia Xinyan slowly informed Shi Yan of all the common knowledge in the Endless Sea. She mentioned the demons and the dark dwellers, and the differences between the God Domain and the Grace Mainland.
“The Demon King Bo Xun…” Shi Yan frowned, “Why did he attack Uncle Xiao?”
“Back in the day, the head of the Yang family, Yang Qing Di, brought powerful warriors from the Yang family into the Fourth Demon Area. They killed a Demon Master in the Fourth Demon Area. I believe Master Xiao should’ve told you about this?”
“Yes.”
“That Demon Master was under the command of the Demon King Bo Xun! In the Fourth Demon Area, there are four Demon Masters. Two of which follow the Demon King Chi Yan, and two of whom are devoted followers of the Demon King Bo Xun. Yang Qing Di killed one of Bo Xun’s Demon Masters, so of course Bo Xun would go against the Yang family.”
“Bo Xun is on the verge of stepping into the True God realm, so even if he were to attack, he would’ve gone for the head of the Yang family... Why go for Uncle Xiao?” Shi Yan was very confused.
“Who said Bo Xun had to attack?” Xia Xinyan glared at Shi Yan, then said coldly, “That giant white skeletal hand was only one of the three Skeletal Avatars of Bo Xun. Although the Skeletal Avatars are pieces of Bo Xun, they’re not his main body. Bo Xun’s original body has always been in the Cave of a Thousand Demons. He won’t easily come out. If that were really the main body of Demon King Bo Xun that attacked us, do you think you and I could’ve really escaped?”
“What?” Shi Yan was shocked,“You’re saying that that giant bone hand, out of the three of Bo Xun’s Skeletal Avatars, was only… the hand of one of them?
“That’s right.”
Shi Yan’s heart was shaken.
Only a hand of one of the Skeletal Avatars was able to cause so much movement in the Endless Sea. It ripped through space, and directly grabbed Xiao Han Yi. If it were the Demon King Bo Xun himself, how much power would that be?
Xia Xinyan seemed to know the shock in his heart, so she didn’t rush to speak, and instead she only looked at him.
After a long time, the look in Shi Yan’s eyes became firm, and he said, “That certainly is a terror. I really hope I will one day be able to fight with the Demon King Bo Xun.”
Xia Xinyan was stunned, and her beautiful eyes were filled with strange emotions, “You’re only in the first sky of the Disaster Realm, how could you dare to rave about fighting with Bo Xun? Even after a hundred years, you will still be unable to go against one of the Skeletal Avatars of Bo Xun. The Yang family members sure are all arrogant! None of you know what you’re worth.”
Shi Yan smiled, “I’m still young, and I have plenty of time to catch up. One day, maybe I can also become known in all the heavens, and can split the skies with my bare hands.”
