Chapter 2 – The Awakening of the Asura
Ji Yang sat in deep meditation, his mind consumed by a single thought—the cultivation levels of this world.
Unlike the God Realm, where he once reigned supreme, this world followed an entirely different path.
Cultivation Stages:
1. Body Refinery Stage – Strengthening the physical body.
2. Foundation Building Stage – Establishing a stable foundation for cultivation.
3. Profound Heaven Stage – Mastery over profound energy.
4. Soul Harmony Stage – Harmonizing one’s soul with the world.
5. Spirit King Stage – Ascending to a near-divine state.
6. Nirvana Stage – A rebirth, shedding the limitations of mortality.
Cultivation was not just a path to power—it was the pursuit of immortality.
But Ji Yang knew better.
Immortality was a lie.
People chased after it, believing cultivation was the answer. Yet, most were bound by rules, shackled by laws, and too afraid to defy the heavens.
That’s why Righteous Cultivators failed.
They followed the will of the heavens, never daring to challenge them.
But Demonic Cultivators?
Ji Yang’s golden eyes gleamed coldly.
"When one path is blocked, we carve another. That is why I walk the demonic path."

Power ruled all.
The strong dictated fate.
The weak existed only to serve.
And in this world, only power mattered.
Cultivation Techniques
Ji Yang shifted his focus to techniques, analyzing what this world had to offer.
Yellow-grade techniques – Basic, suitable for beginners.
Black-grade techniques – Stronger, but far from the peak.
Profound-grade techniques – Used by elite cultivators.
Earthly-grade techniques – The strongest known to most people, granting immense power.
Ji Yang smirked.
"These people have no idea what true power is."
Even Earthly-grade techniques were laughable compared to what he had mastered in the God Realm.
But before he could ponder further—
BANG!
The door to his chamber burst open.
Ji Tao stormed in, his face twisted with arrogance.
"Ji Yang," he sneered. "Kneel."
Ji Yang remained seated, his expression indifferent.
Ji Tao’s lips curled in disdain. "Are you deaf? You no longer have the protection of the Ji Family. Do you think you can still act high and mighty?"
Ji Yang slowly rose to his feet.
Even without cultivation, his mere presence made Ji Tao instinctively flinch.
And then—
Ji Yang vanished.
Before Ji Tao could react, cold fingers pressed against his forehead.
A chilling whisper echoed in his ears.
"You are not worthy."
A pulse of pure, overwhelming force exploded.
CRACK!
Ji Tao screamed, his knees shattering as he collapsed onto the ground. His cultivation—crippled.
Ji Yang gazed down at him, eyes devoid of emotion.
"Remember this pain. You brought it upon yourself."
But before Ji Tao’s screams could settle—
BOOM!
A terrifying aura filled the air.
A powerful elder of the Ji Family stepped into the room, his gaze locked onto Ji Yang.
"You dare cripple a member of your own clan?" The elder’s voice boomed with fury.
Ji Yang’s expression remained unfazed.
"Do you dare stop me?"
The elder’s eyes narrowed. "I will do more than stop you."
He raised his hand, summoning immense energy, preparing to strike—
BOOM!
A dark, ancient force erupted from Ji Yang’s body.
The elder’s attack was instantly shattered.
And then—
A chilling voice whispered within Ji Yang’s mind.
"You dare attack the vessel of the Heavenly Demon Body?"
The room shook. The very air trembled.
Ji Yang felt a surge of energy unlike anything before. His vision blurred, and in the next moment—
He was no longer in the Ji Family’s halls.
He stood in an endless void, a realm filled with a crushing, oppressive presence.
And then, a deep, ancient voice rumbled:
"You… who possess my will… the path you walk is destined for chaos."
Ji Yang smirked.
"I welcome chaos."
A low chuckle echoed.
"Then you must embrace true power. The Heavenly Demon Body you possess is incomplete. It is bound by Seven Seals."
Ji Yang’s eyes flickered.
"Seven Seals?"
"Yes. Each seal contains a fragment of the Avali Demon God's power. His blood, scattered across seven locations, holds the key to unlocking your true form."
Ji Yang clenched his fists.
"And where do I find this blood?"
The voice laughed darkly.
"That, I will not tell you. Not yet. The path to power is walked, not given. You must seek it on your own."
Suddenly—
A roar of energy surged through Ji Yang’s body.
Something shifted within him.
A door that had long been sealed—cracked open.
His cultivation, which had been stagnant, roared to life.
"The first seal is ready to be broken. Find the First Blood, and your journey will begin."
BOOM!
Ji Yang’s vision snapped back to reality.
The elder—still mid-air—was blasted backward by an invisible force, crashing through the walls.
Ji Yang exhaled, his eyes cold.
"Seven Seals… Demon God's Blood… this world will soon know my name."
He turned his back on the wreckage, stepping forward into the unknown.
"This is just the beginning."
