God Slayer Chronicles 80 Scripture of the Heavenly Demon

"Oh, wow." Yung Chu let out a little gasp entered the room, observing it.

Several dozen jars and bottles full of blood and organs rested against the leftmost wall and stacked up on the right side were hundreds of lizard-like scales!

"Don't mind that, Yung Chu. It's just the remains of that Eight-Tailed Serpent. It's a draconic descendant, so I plan on shipping all this off to my home; soon enough. So, don't let your dirty alchemic eyes inspire greed in your heart!" Sha Ku said plainly, taking issue with Yung Chu.

"Oh! No, I'd never. Hahaha." Yung Chu let out a nervous laugh, rubbing the back of his neck.

"So why have you come here? To cause me agony? To bore me to death?" Sha Ku yawned covering his mouth, sitting down in the centre of the room. Slowly he started to pick the sleep out of the corners of his eyes.

"Erm… No. Actually, I came to give you something. My master told me to make it in return for you saving me…" Yung Chu took out a pill bottle from his hands.

"Listen there's no need-"

"Is that a Heavenly Clarification Pill?" Sha Ku jumped to his feet after recognising the sent.

"Yes, it's a Heavenly Clarification Pill! How did you know?" Yung Chu was confused as the young boy looked at the pill bottle in his hands.

"The combination of Silver Bark, Jasmine, Owl Eyes and Hydra Venom are unmissable." Sha Ku remarked, having known these ingredients having been used in the creation of a singular famous pill!

"Do you want it?" Yung Chu asked, his face had a beaming smile on his

face.

"Well, yes." Sha Ku straight up answered. Grabbing out of his hand, popping the pill bottle open and swallowing it.

"Oh… you're just going to straight-up take it?"

"Do you even know it's effects?" Yung Chu asked, confused and shocked.

This was a pill worth a small city!

Yet this Sha Ku just pops it like a sweet!

"It increases comprehension by around 74% for a total of two hours. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have comprehensions that I must make." Sha Ku shooed Yung Chu out the door, telling him that he'd be visiting Elemental Peak later this day if it all went successfully.

Bang!

Sha Ku slammed the rickety wooden door behind Yung Chu, some splinters even came loose!

"Terribly discourteous of you, why-" Yan Huang was just about to ask Sha Ku the reason for his rudeness, he heard a resounding –

"Shut it! I haven't got much time!" Sha Ku raised his voice angrily taking out the scroll he'd received from An Mo the day they left Greenmont.

'Soul of the Heavenly Demon,' it was a technique that even Sha Ku couldn't cultivate.

Not because he didn't have the ability or his body wasn't adaptive enough, but purely because it was too complicated!

The Soul of the Heavenly Demon required the practitioner to perform two secret techniques hidden in the scroll to even read the central part of the scripture!

Even a mind as astute as Sha Ku was unable to do this. The toll on his soul was too heavy!

It required him to use his divine sense, his soul power and his full cognitive ability at once, each having a catastrophic toll on each other!

It was like asking a cripple to perform a movement technique! Cruel and vindictive, giving a man hope, but then pulling it away like a rug underneath their feet!

This is where the Heavenly Clarification Pill came in! No doubt Yung Chu's master thought the pill would come in useful for discovering Sha Ku's Dao!

Or even comprehending a specific intent!

No, instead it was being used to comprehend a soul cultivation technique! Imagine Dai Chi's reaction if she found out!

"Haha! It's working!" Sha Ku grinned manically, as he carefully read the text.

"To the reader, I greet thee. I am Lord Yun. Heavenly Master of the Demon Clan.

What is it to be a Demon?

What is it to destroy all in your path, to devour and spit the bones of Gods?

They are synonymous.

There is no difference.

To be a demon is not to be evil.

To be a demon is not to dominate and destroy the innocent.

I learnt this through my own blood and tears.

I learnt this through my own child's death.

To be a demon, what is it?

It is to be unchallenged.

To be indomitable.

To not fear the laws of Immortals and Gods.

To not bow to anyone but of your choosing.

To be a demon, it is to be free.

Free from restraints.

Free from bondage.

Free from destiny!

For the Chains of Heaven Shall bind neither I nor you!

Be Free!"

Cough!

Blood flew from Sha Ku's mouth as he read the text of 'Lord Yun'!

His eyes grew wide. His mouth agape. A feeling arose in his heart. A sense of being untethered.

"The Dao of Demons, the Dao of Freedom. They are by one and the same… it makes sense. But to be untethered from the Heavens themselves, to escape their immutable influence. It… isn't it only a dream?"

An image of chains descended from the sky, infinitely wrapping around him, vanished!

The chains shattered, the skies thundered, but they had no pressure!

Like a child, they raged and sulked, but soon they calmed. Nothing, nothingness… it was everywhere, and Sha Ku had deduced true freedom.

Woosh!

Sha Ku's enter body exuded an old and ancient energy. His eyes turned a terrifying violet, signifying the newfound liberty of his soul.

"I've advanced to Soul Adept… two boundaries at once. How remarkable."

A smile adorned Sha Ku's face as he laid back on his black soot-stained floor. A wave of exhaustion taking him into a land of far off dreams.
