Kaiser stared at that glowing red blood eye and the purple mist that it releases. The demon, Billy Jones' appearance looks extremely terrifying right now and Kaiser couldn't help but shudder.
He raised his hand extending a finger to signal the demon to pause. Billy stared at Kaiser with a frown. It seems that this demon has problems with people stopping his speech.
"So... Billy? Can I call you that? Anyway, Demon cultivators, what are they? Also, It seems that my body transformed back to a child's but is my longevity affected? Did it revert back to a child's?" After asking, he put down his finger and sat down cross-legged at that white floor. Noticing the floor color, Kaiser turned and looked at his surroundings.
White. Plain white. It feels like being trapped in a white box. Wow... I thought my head would be filled with random junk from my memories and desires... My mind is actually this pure...
Hearing those questions, Billy actually smiled. With a prideful tone he answered Kaiser's questions. "You can call me Master. Billy is also fine. Demonic Cultivators, are quite different and much more stronger than those Soul Cultivators. Demonic Cultivation after reaching rank 100, you will be reincarnated as a Demon, surpassing Mortals and even those Immortals which are rank 100 Soul Cultivators. As for power in the Mortal stages... Demonic Cultivation is much stronger than those Soul Cultivators in the same rank. There are 3 reasons for me to say this. The first one... Is when you reach rank 60, you won't need any Ancient Soul Relics."
Hearing this, Kaiser looked at Billy doubtfully. What? No need for Ancient Soul Relics? Then what decides the element of your power. Wait... that is for soul cultivators...
"Demonic power doesn't have any elements. The one to determine the property of your demonic power is... your inherited might." Billy casually spoke while flicking his hands. Purple mist congealed at his back and Kaiser's back as they form seats. Billy sat first and seeing Billy do it, Kaiser also did the same.
Kaiser raised his hands now to stop the explaining demon. "Wait... Billy what the heck is 'Inherited Might'?!"
"Ha ha ha ha! Don't be impatient Kaiser. Well... Inherited Might is a Demonic Cultivator's second advantage. They are power properties that belong to the demon that lives inside of you, namely me! This Inherited Might back in Divine Realm is not that easy to get from a demon inside of you. You need to sign a contract with the demon and fulfill his or her one wish for that demon's Inherited Might!"
Seemingly understanding something Kaiser nodded continuously. No wonder! Demonic Cultivators only needs to do one wish for their demon while Soul Cultivators need to excavate Ancient Soul Relics.
"Wait one wish? Then could that demon wish to have the cultivator kill himself? Or win against a foe much stronger than him and is impossible to defeat without that Inherited Might? Then... what is that one wish that you have?"
Billy nodded after hearing this. He tapped his fingers on the arm stand of the chair and assumed a leaning position. "No, can't do. It's against the rules of us demons. As for that other one, we can't also do that because we demons can see the limits of the cultivators strength. We can only request something that is difficult but achievable to the cultivator. As for my wish... I don't have one. It's too much hassle so lets just sign that contract and you can access my Inherited Might. The faster you become stronger, the sooner I'll get my revenge."
Hearing those last words, Kaiser pondered and after a few seconds he raised his hand. "What if I don't take your revenge? Your only a entity that exists in my mind. You can't kill me... right?"
Billy stared at Kaiser with a eyes full of killing intent. His mouth produced a vicious smile. "You think your a smart-ass? We demons have a way to deal with our host. Even though its a hassle, it would only kill the cultivator and the demon will be released and will be thrown back to it's vessel."
Kaiser made a big gulp. Damn... This guy is something that can casually behead him. And this guy will be staying in his head for... wait... does he even have any way to escape my body other than killing me?
"There is another way and that is for you to reach the rank 100 and reincarnate as a demon. When you reincarnate, I will also have the power to make my own physical form and transfer from your mind to that form."
Kaiser nodded at this. So its like that... he wants me to reach rank 100 so that he can get revenge himself. It'll have to do. After all this guy can kill me anytime he wants.
"Back to the Inherited Might, there is a lot of them. A rank 100 cultivator will reincarnate as a demon and have that demon as his power. Those demon who was the first one's to have that kind of power are called Demon Kings. I'm one of them. You also don't need to learn Arts. You only have to familiarize yourself with that Inherited Might and research ways to use it. As for the third one... It's the Demonic Artifact."
Kaiser sucked a deep breath. Artifact? Is it one of those weapons wielded by Immortals?!
"Demonic Artifact's are weapons that a demon is unique to. You can summon a Demonic Artifact after reaching rank 31 or the Second Red Eye Realm. You still can't summon one so I won't talk about it yet."
After finishing his explanation, Billy seemed bored. He flicked his hands again and the purple mist once again gathered at the sides and transformed into a table. In that table, there was a glass bowl filled with fruits.
Casually picking up a round red fruit, he bit down on it and the fruit was reduced to one third of its previous size.
Staring at the eating Billy, Kaiser still has many questions... He wanted to know about the cultivation levels of Demonic Cultivators. He also has another question that has been nagging him since he was a child. And that was... what was the world like before 'The Descent'?
Jolted awake as if hearing something interesting Billy looked at Kaiser and smiled. " You soul cultivators have sub ranks right? They are Soul Trainee (1-10), Soul Student (11-20), and Soul Apprentice (21-30) of the Lower Core Realm. There are also the Soul Master (31-40), Soul Grandmaster (41-50), and Soul Superior (51-60) of the Hand Core Realm. After this one needs a Ancient Soul Relic to advance to become Soul King (61-70), Soul Emperor (71-80), and Soul Sage (81-90) of the Head Core Realm and lastly a Soul Divinity (91-99) where the Cores would melt and condense to the Heavenly Flame. After reaching rank 100, The cultivator would become a true immortal
As for Demonic Cultivators there are also realms. That is being the First Eye Realm which is the right eye. The color of the your eyes determine your power. Colors are: Blue (1-10), Green (11-20), and Yellow (21-30). The Second Eye realm which is the left eye contains these colors: Blue (31-40), Green (41-50) and Yellow (51-60). After this realm the eyes will evolve together and you will enter the Twin Eyes Realm. The colors are: Red (61-70), Silver (71-80), and Gold (81-90) and the ranks (91-99) are only accessed is you can condense those eyes into a Purple color thereby making the All-seeing Purple Demonic Eye."
Kaiser was satisfied after hearing this. So it's like that! It's pretty similar to Soul Cultivation but has some few quirks.
"As for that second question of yours... I'll show it to you! The world before 'The Descent'! And a scene in 'The Descent'! Open your eyes and look at how you Soul Cultivators destroyed your ancestor's 2000 years of knowledge! The world before, The Land of Science!"
Immediately turning his head to stare at the demon, Kaiser was stupefied. He wanted to open his mouth and say something but, Billy , to Kaiser's surprise, instantly disappeared with a puff of gold smoke. Some of that purple mist is still lingering in the air.
Standing-up he stared at where Billy disappeared. When he stood up, those chairs and tables also turned to its previous purple mist state. Staring at the white surroundings, Kaiser supports his head as a ringing sound is gradually getting louder and louder. Suddenly his vision turned blurry and... he fainted again. That's the third time, and he even fainted inside his mind.

Gradually waking up, Kaiser looked at his surrounding's first and saw a weird looking place. He was seated in a grey colored rock which seems to be completely flat. Kaiser was astonished because when he turned around to search for humans, he did find humans. But, this humans he saw wore peculiar clothes. Some were even similar to the clothes of those human corpses from those old Ancient Lair's.
What made his jaw drop even more was those huge towering rock, iron, or glass rectangular things. He didn't know what they were but he knew that the humans around him entered those huge things. There were also metal horse-like things which humans ride and also metal carriages which operates without the use of horses.
Wazzu?! What are this things!? These things are too advanced for me to comprehend. This horse-like things and metal carriages doesn't seem like they are operated by soul cores of soul beasts! What are these!? Are these things operated by soul power? Or is it operated by a unique power source?
Contemplating over these marvelous things, Kaiser didn't realize that a metal carriage was approaching him at top speed. Jolted awake, Kaiser's first priority was safety for himself. He didn't have the time to dodge and so tried to summon his soul power through his Hand Cores. To his surprise, he... didn't have a sliver of soul power in his body. A cold sweet immediately appeared on Kaiser's forehead.
Realizing that he was about to die, he immediately closed his eyes, ready to take the impact as a scream escaped his mouth.
"Aaaargh!"
He felt... nothing. After 5 seconds did he open his eyes slowly.
I-i'm live? How? That... 'thing' was moving as so fast and looked like a metal carriage. Getting hit by that thing in my current state would have at least broke some bones. But it went through me without even a impact.
Standing up, Kaiser made another look at his surroundings. Bizarre! It was truly bizarre! He stared at those towering blocks and entered a daze. Suddenly a voice jolted his awake. It was Billy's.
"This was your world before we thrashed it when we battled. They actually advanced to this level without the help of soul power. As for their achievements in research, After at most 100 years, they would have discovered the energy particles of lightning and would have turned this world to a world of Electromasters. Sigh. It's such a pity, Electromasters are more powerful than Soul Cultivators but is still inferior to us, Demonic Cultivators."
"Billy... Electromasters? What's that!?" Kaiser said as he still observed his surroundings. Too much unknown things are presented to him in viewing.
"Electromaster's are like Soul Cultivators. However, Electromaster's don't need soul power. They only need lightning. They can use the lightning stored in their bodies to change the molecular structures of solids, liquids, and gasses. The can also summon a lightning blot at will and that bolt will recharge their power. Don't ask too much about them."
After that voice echoed out, Gold smoke quickly congealed at Kaiser's side and transformed into the demon, Billy. He was holding something akin to a metal chunk with a peculiar shape. Slightly positioning the metal chunk and pointing it at Kaiser, Billy spoke.
"Check this out. This was this world's standard weapon. Sword's here, are too useless compared to these things."
Pulling his finger, a clicking sound was heard and...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Kaiser was surprised. That metal chunk was only making loud noises, what's so special about it? Turning around he saw countless holes in one of those rock walls and 5 humans lying on the floor with a pool of blood. What!? What happened?
"This thing can spit out metal like things and those things have a terrifying penetration power. Those metals were too fast for you to see." Billy said with a smug smile.
Staring at those dead human's, Kaiser knew how powerful that thing was. It was akin to a crossbow but even more powerful. That fast firing rate can also dominate a lot of defenses. This thing was similar to those Metal Shower in those Ancient Lair's
Growing silent, Kaiser sat at the middle of that flat grey rock. So this was the world before... It was bizarre! It was fascinating!
"Since he have finished sight-seeing this, Let me show you 'The Descent'."
Billy, once again, disappeared in a gold puff of smoke. Jolting awake, Kaiser expected that his would turn hazy any moment now but it never happened.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark and was riddled by many dark clouds. It wasn't raining but those lightning that came forking down from the sky was undoubtedly, dangerous.
Soon came many figures flying. Seeing this figures, Kaiser wanted to fly and observed them and like his body obeying his mind, he floated and arrived in the battlefield.
Flying men were battling each other with dazzling lights. They seemed to be chasing in particular one individual. This individual was a handsome young man, wearing a eye-patch over his right eye. The left eye was revealed, and that eye was purple. This youth has a golden hair and a golden suit. The designs on this suit was stunning. He wears a top hat and his right hand holding a cane.
This was Billy Jones.
Kaiser was slack jawed. He never expected that Billy would have been an important guy in the battle. It seems that he was someone that everyone couldn't even touch.
Many of those charging Immortals were repelled by a casual wipe of his hands. After those Immortals were defeated, A huge black hole appeared in the sky. Descending down were humans with purple eyes. Kaiser knew that this group of people were all demons. There was also a group who has 6 wings on their back. Clearly these were also not humans. They were akin to Gods.
They charged and the battle continued. The battle ended with the group of Demons and Gods suffering many casualties while Billy suffered many injuries. Kaiser was staring at a demon which was wielding a big great sword. This demon was the one that mostly clashed with Billy.
Billy raised his hands and drew in the sky with his own blood a triangular seal with complicated runes. That triangular drawing looked similar to the pyramid, which was Billy's vessel.
After the seal was done, Billy entered the seal and a golden dragon emerged form the other side of it. The golden dragon is at least 10 meters high and was 75 meters long. It charged to the group of demons and gods. The demon who was wielding the great sword grew wings akin to those of gods. The 6 wings were of different colors each. The dragon charged and after they clashed, Kaiser felt that he was getting dizzy.
Damn it! I was getting at the best part! Do you really hate this defeat that much!?
His eyesight spinning, Ears ringing, Kaiser once again fainted.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly opening his eye's Kaiser woke up at a familiar surrounding. It was the gloomy Forrest he fainted to. He supported his body with his arm and noticed something weird. His hands were soft and were small.
"It seems like I really became a 7 year old child. Sigh." Sitting cross-legged, he tried to summon some soul power but not even a drop remained.
He was dispirited for a moment but recovered after a instant. Standing up, he discovered a major problem. He... didn't have clothes that can fit to him right now.
His previous clothes were now hanging lose, and he looked quite stupid. He was also dirty, so the first thing he thought of was to look for a lake and wash up.
Walking the path, he advanced to a familiar road and went to the nearest lake. He undressed and made sure no one was around. Scampering to the lake and looking at the reflection of his face made him shocked.
His face was young. That was still acceptable for him because he knew that he really turned young. What caught him was his eyes.
The left one was the same as usual, Black, and the other eye, which was the right...
It was Blue!
