50 Void Demon

At an unknown location in space, in a frozen World I was flying in the endless voids of space, I could see only three stars in the distance, I flew for a long time, but they never got any closer.

There's only one way for me to return and that's becoming stronger, was this what the old goat was after? trying to create a worthy rival for himself?

I closed my eyes and started Meditating, I could feel the pulse of the universe, like a heartbeat that's too silent to be heard.

It reminded me the time I trained in the low oxygen chamber, that weird meditation I used to do. It was strange but I felt as if the Abyss of space was calling for me, it was like a sweet song that drew me to follow it.

Of course I'm not an idiot to fall for such an obvious trap, but at the moment I'm in the middle of nowhere, even finding a person, even if it's somewhat dangerous it would still be better than drifting in space without directions, I couldn't even tell if I'm drawing circles or something.

The problem however is that even if I hear the call, I can't tell how far away it is, maybe I have to cultivate to the next level if I ever wish to reach anything in space.

There are three ways to advance further, at least for me whom follows three methods of cultivation at once.

The first method is cutting off all connections to the mortal world, there are three stages to it, first is getting rid of all hostility, like getting rid of all your enemies, of anything that's precious to you, like family members and such and lastly cutting off all association with mortal beings, after all they aren't even able to perceive your existance, due to the time difference, since most immortals live in slowed down time and only in the voids of space can we use our full power.

The second method is Elemental limittion, If I select one element to focus on and give up on all other elements I will break through and create an elemental clone, once I can produce 3 such clones I will have reached the next level, but will forever be unable to use the other elements.

Last is a Heart oath Method, by setting a Restriction/Seal on myself I will be able to advance the realm next realm, the problem is that the strength I will gain is proportional to the power of the Seal, in a word it's Like this, you Seal all your coultivation, cultivate anew until you reach the same level seal your coultivation again and you do this three times, after I've finished I have to break the three Seals and survive the overflow of energy or explode, simple right?

Of course I have to go with the last choice, the reason being that I'm too greedy for power and I hate limitations. The problem is that I need Energy to cultivate and the lifeless Void isn't the best place for that.

Although my understanding of how time works has increased since I entered the frozen world, I think that If I use it this way I might gain some speed, the problem is that by accelerating my own time, my body will begin to age, it's like a double edged sword and I don't want to return back as an old man.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Then the only way is to slow down my perception of time even more, but this will have destructive concequences once I arrive at a planet with an atmosphere or even touching something anything will be no different than causing explosions, of course while in space It won't really matter, traveling while causing explosions behind you, but it will be disastrous for any other creature other than me.

I begun to look around, before I was going towards the stars, I have probably spent a long time doing so, but now my target is the deepest abyss of space, don't ask me why, it's because that's where the call is coming from.

Time passes by and the pulse of the universe and the call grow slower and become less coherent than before, I don't care however I'm at the right track, once I reach a planet I'll be able to cultivate further.

I'm tired, I'm hungry and I want to go home. The call has long disappeared and my greed as well, maybe I should go for the second method instead, after all how difficult can it be to understand the element of time?

Time passed, or it didn't, I don't know anymore, maybe I have to seal my perception of time to understand it better, I do so and slowly the two familiar sounds that guided me on appeared once more, there is still hope.

I lost, when I looked behind me the three stars had disappeared, the call is becoming weaker again, my perception of time is once again getting screwd, well it will be some time until it disappears again.

I strengthen the seal, but the effect is not what I expected, both of the sounds suddenly disappeared without a trace. I think I overdid it, it seems like time and frequency of sound has some sort of connection, fuck physics!

I undid the seal and resumed flying towards the direction I thought was right, Time was screwed enough as it was.

Back on earth Ryozanpaku and Yami had their first real confrontation, the Yami weapons division got trashed. I didn't know and didn't care about divisions of Yami and probably won't even learn that all this was going on in my absence.

The secret services went to ask the elder if he knew anything about my location, because they were concerned with my disappearance and they had no info on whether I was being hidden by Yami or doing something else.

The elder assured them that they wouldn't see me for a really long time, since he sent me on an adventure, but he wouldn't say where.

Two pairs of ears however heard his words, it was Kenichi and Miu, they begun inquiring where I was sent, the elder pointed a finger upwards.

The both misunderstood, beginning to say "Killing people is wrong" "How could you send him to heaven?" "What about Life Saving Fist?"

The elder just laughed it all off, while looking into the sky hoping that his decision to not kill me was right, nobody knows if the path and actions they have taken are right or not, but everyone believes that they are right, that what they are doing is out of necessity.

Many of you are probably confused about the name of the chapter, because there's no demons in it, but that's because you don't know that demons are in actuality thoughts, they are the inner voices inside ourselves that make us do terrible things, some hear them some don't, some follow them others simply ignore them and abide by logical thinking instead, demons are born of our very emotions and desires.
