War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 31

…

No one knows when it started but the mountainous area near the Lostier fortress has suddenly turned into a battlefield with men and demons killing each other.

People and demons began appearing in this place in search of the so-called heavenly treasure that is about to appear.

The humans are led by A-rank and B-rank awakened as they scour the vast forest in search of that so-called heaven treasure.

The formation of the dark cloud is so vast that it almost covered the vast forest which makes it hard for anyone to pinpoint the real epicenter of the dark cloud.

In one of the parties entering this forest, a group of humans wearing two goliath suits and armed with MCAWs are slowly advancing in a certain direction.

In the hand of one of them is a crystal monitor. It is showing something blinking on its screen.

"This is the right direction…" one of them said while pointing in the northwest direction.

"Are you sure? That place looks a bit different. I don't feel good while looking at that area…" a female soldier decked in black armor making her look like a black knight suddenly commented.

"But that is where the strongest concentration of Ki energy is…" the one holding the crystal monitor retorted.

"If that is the case then that means, we can find something good in there…" a middle-aged man wearing a goliath suit said with a grin.

"I heard that in places where Ki energy concentration is abundant one can find something good…" the other wearing the goliath suit also chimed in.

The rest nodded their heads in excitement.

If Xin Ja is here he would frown upon seeing this group of people wearing a goliath suit armor… because they look like some kind of mercenary group.

From their gears and getup, one could tell that these people are guns for hire, mercenaries.

The black metallic suits of the people and the two wearing goliath suits made them look more imposing and powerful than regular soldiers.

As they enter the area pointed by their monitor, unknown to them another group is also entering that same exact location.

This group is composed of people wearing the same metallic armor, but on their heads are some horns exposed.

That's right, this group is a bunch of demons entering the same location where the humans are about to go.

"Hey, are you sure about this?" one of the demons asked.

"Yes, this technology from the humans does not lie… You know how intelligent those people are… they might look weak and all, but their minds are of a different level than us…" the demon holding the same crystal monitor as the one in the hand of the mercenary group said.

The others just sorted and did not say anything.

No one wanted to agree with this, but they also could not refute it.

This kind of scene where the demons are also using human technology is not new anymore in this day and time.

In fact, it has already been 5 years since Xin Ja closed his eyes in seclusion and the happenings in the world have thoroughly changed.

This change is something that he did not expect and that no one has predicted to have happened.

2 months after Xin Ja has decided to break through to the Ki-Grandmaster realm, the humans have finally decoded the portal artifact. They discovered that it is not actually opening a gate to the demon world but to the other side of the planet.

And for some unknown reason, they cannot enter that place without feeling a sense of withering.

Those that forced to enter the other side have their bodies turned gravely ill. It was like having radiation sickness.

This is due to the immense amount of chaotic Ki energy in the air on the other side.

Then the project stopped and was about to be scrapped when one of the major researchers who is also the son of one of the judges broke the code of the demon portals.

He then discovered the Shen awakened power of Ella Exe, the female who is able to use the portal at will.

After long research of 2 years, they finally had a breakthrough. But that breakthrough is in conjunction with a female wounded demon calling herself Nedona.

According to Nedona, a deadly war has already begun on the other side of the planet where the Shadow Beings have finally gained a foothold.

The rebellion of the demons resulted in a war between the two factions which were supposed to be an ally for eons.

But because the demons have finally drawn the line to the ambitious and somewhat impossible goal of the Shadow Beings, they were all attacked which started the war.

She was able to escape along with the remaining forces of the demons, but their leader, Amenadon, the dragon of Oblivion was left to the other world and sacrificed himself by blowing the portal and half of the planet along with him.

This sacrifice of the dragon king has given time for the other demons to escape and Nedona decided to ally herself with the humans.

She knew that these humans are not simple and weak humans but are deities. Though they are imprisoned in this world, at the end of the day, they are still deities... there is someone with the power that can control the fate of a planet.

The demons and the shadow beings have been waging war against them for an uncountable number of years, but after driving back the demons and the shadow beings, the deities would never try to conquer their world.

This made them baffled. Because she herself has seen how powerful a deity could be.

So now that she has entered the land with any of them, she decided to ally the demons with the humans.

Unknown to her, this decision of hers would finally tip the balance of the universe in another direction.

And so, from that time forth. The demons and the humans began to work together in this world while the Shadow Beings seem to have vanished mysteriously.

But everyone knows that they are still around back on that partly ruined planet biding their time and amassing their forces for one last strike against those humans and the traitorous demons who turned their backs on them.

…

Meanwhile, inside a cave, a figure of a man sitting calmly while the thick mist is around him slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, the mist around him suddenly began to move in a spiral motion as they seem to be being sucked inside a void.

It did not take long before the mist cleared up and the figure sitting in a lotus position slowly stretched his body with the sound of bone crackling echoing inside the cave.

As his eyes opened, one could see lightning dancing inside of them and a very strong aura that surrounds his body slowly being suppressed, and once again the aura of a Ki-fighter could be felt around him.

This figure is of course Xin Ja. It took him long enough, but he was able to finally finish his closed-door cultivation.

According to the time just below his view, he has spent more than 5 years just breaking through to the Ki-Grandmaster realm.

However, his cultivation did not stop there. The reason for this is because of the small phoenix and Xuanlong's agitation when they felt that he is actually breaking through.

They suddenly threw the Bluish jade crystal outside and those bluish crystals jade suddenly began to mix with the chaotic Ki.

Then from that mixture, he suddenly realized that there are specks of crystals appearing after the bluish crystals were actually broken.

Those specks of crystals suddenly enter his body and then a mysterious thing happened.

Something seem to have entered Xin Ja's mind and as if a very strong barrier was opened and his consciousness was suddenly freed.

Every bit and piece of his memory has finally been freed, and everything became clearer to him like it was on noonday.

But before he could revel in his newfound discovery, his consciousness was suddenly taken by force and he found his spirit floating towards the skies.

Then he could see the outer part of the planet until he saw a giant figure made of gold floating in front of him.

That figure causes Xin Ja to feel goosebumps crawling down his spine, though he did not have one as this is his spirit.

He knew at that time, that what he is feeling at the moment is actually fear. Just meeting this entity which six arms actually made him feel afraid. This would only show how powerful the being floating right in front of him at the moment.

Xin Ja could not help but look at that entity as it slowly approaches him. Then one of its hands stretches forward towards his head.

With its stretched hand it seem to have taken something from his head and when Xin Ja saw what it was, his eyes went wide in disbelief.

He did not know what would happen at that time, but that entity actually pinches and destroyed the semi-spiritual object taken from him.

As soon as this happened, Xin Ja's mind which is already opened seems to have suddenly now been freed.
