7 A Demon Awakens

Han Zu was fighting in his Spiritual Expanse when suddenly fear gripped his heart he could feel the Great Devouring techniques being used on him he felt his cultivation being sapped his gold core started shaking and several cracks started appearing on it.

He became desperate and his fight with the Nether Lion became even more intense he was regretting his decision of not killing the old bastard when he had the chance too,

.....

...

....

"Huff Huff... fuck I can't go on like this", Han Zu's core was on verge of breaking but Hua Zu was caught between a rock and a hard place if he tried to stop the mortal he would be abandoning his Spiritual Expanse. If he didn't stop the bastard outside his core might break and he may even die because of the Great Devour Technique.

To a cultivator below the stage of Nascent Soul his soul has his most extreme flaw this allowed Nascent Soul cultivators to be an invincible foe for the Gold Core Cultivators as even the simplest Soul Attacks from a Nascent Soul cultivator might reap the life of an unfortunate Gold Core cultivator.

Suddenly Han Zu started overpowering the Nether Lion fighting like a berserk beast using his teeth and arms to tear at the Lion like a beast he knew he was desperate as he was not willing to die like this by a puny lion cub soul and an old coot.

He ripped apart two of the lion Limbs and lost an arm himself he was determined to devour this soul and then go and kill the old man he was just about to deal the final blow to the lion soul when he felt his core break.

"Noooo...." Hua cried

"My core, my core no-no no....I'm gonna burn your soul for all of eternity I'm gonna torture your soul....."

Hua had not even finished his craze when he felt his life force leaving his body, His body suddenly started to age his hair started falling his energy in dantian was now leaking out in even more rapid ace his Spiritual Expanse started shaking,

He suddenly felt a hand pierce through his chest his eyes opened only to see a middle-aged man with back hair that was partially greying at the sideburns and the end of his hair in commoner garbs but the cruel smile on his face reminded him on his days in the demonic sect.

Hua suddenly felt fear he opened his mouth to speak and a mouthful of blood poured out,

"Please spare me please", he begged but it was all for naught he felt his heart being plucked like an apple plucked from its tree.

"No please no" he called in indignation, he was reminded of every evil deed he had done in his life, his every sin,

"Is this karma, is this my punishment from the heavens"

"No I can't accept this" he tried to channel his energy trying to stop his demonic heart from being stolen.

Hua roared in indignation but the suffering was yet to end as he felt the palm yet again pierce his chest but this time it went for the lionheart he had wanted to cultivate as his second heart.

"NO I am a demon too, I won't die here I will kill you I will devour you" Hua roared as his arm pierced through Rudra and started the Great Devouring Technique.
