Chapter 10: Chapter 10: The 2nd Demonic King
He stared at the magnificent entrance for a while, admiring its beauty. After he did so, he started to release his Demon Qi. He had done this to make his presence known. It didn't take long before the gate started to be pulled up, allowing him entry.
When he got past the gates, he came upon an incredible view. Houses upon houses, clean roads, and thousands of people. There were families, young, old, middle-aged, there were millions, maybe billions, of people there. It probably spanned the entirety of the kingdom it was above.
An entire city was built below another and, unlike some might think, none of these houses lacked anything. They were all solidly built, which made it look like a paradise under Terra. The whole of the settlement was built upon a huge mound, or well, something that looked like it.
On top of the mound was a massive castle. There was a type of hierarchy in the housing, as the further one went up, the better the houses got. However, that did not mean that the houses at the bottom were horrible. In fact, they were so pristine that the nobles of some countries would live in them.
As soon as Sei had gotten past the gate, he was surrounded by 5 Dantian Rebuilding cultivators. While they didn't show any intent of harming or killing Sei, he was still on edge. After all, one should know that no one is trustworthy in the world of martial arts.
<Warning!>
<The host is surrounded by 5 Dantian Rebuilding cultivators!>
<Immediate retreat is advised!>
As he looked around him, he noted their clothing. They all wore plain white masks, only with holes for them to see. They all wore thick steel bracers on both their shins and their forearms. All of them had incredibly thick metal collars on their necks. Some of them wore just very worn out beige coloured shorts, and only 2 of them had shirts, and the one in front of him had trousers and a shirt. None of them wore shoes, and all had calluses on their feet and hands.
Before Sei tried to outrun people who could threaten his entire existence, he decided to check his status.

Just as he had thought, his stamina had not been refilled enough to start running. So he decided against trying to run from the cultivators. But what he did decide to do was to check their statuses.

As he looked at the panels in front of him, telling him their information, he noticed that No.632 had gestured for Sei to follow him. So, as Sei had no shot of running away, he began following them to the castle at the top of the mound.
4 Hours Later
Even though he no longer had the stamina to run at full speed, they had to walk quite slowly, but still quite fast. As Sei continued walking, he noticed some things about the people guiding him.
The first was their weight. While they were all of varying ages, weights, and sizes, they were all somehow the same weight. Sei found this quite interesting as it would be quite difficult to keep several people at the same weight, especially if they're not the same person. Finally, he wondered why one would want several people at the same weight and why 75 kilograms.
The next thing he noticed was the countless and deep scars all-around their bodies, and the thing that confused Sei was as to why these men had such serious injuries if they were obviously not from fighting. But the scar that was the most visible was the scar around their throats. He found it very obvious as to why someone would do this. After all, this was the Demonic Cult. Mere slaves weren't trustworthy.
The last thing he took note of was the almost murderous glares from the locals. The entire time, while they were walking, every single person who had seen them, stared deeply into their guides. They all seemed to have something against them, which majorly puzzled Sei. I mean, did the slaves really do something deserving of that?
After walking for hours, they had finally arrived in front of the castle. It was absolutely magnificent. The entire castle was around 421,874 metres in total area. The castle was held up by majestic marble pillars that had the former owners' names engraved on them. The castle itself was built in a way that made it look truly perfect, not a single thing was out of place.
The door to the castle slowly creaked open, inviting Sei in, and as Sei entered the castle, the people who guided him split off in different directions. When Sei entered the castle, he felt an almost supreme presence. As that happened, another 2 Dantian Rebuilding cultivators guided him to the 2nd Demonic King.
It didn't take long to get there, but when he did, a gust of murderous intent and power washed over him. The 2 Dantian Rebuilding cultivators bowed to the 2nd Demonic King and disappeared almost instantaneously. Sei stood there staring at the man before him.
<Warning!>
<Warning!>
<Warning!>
<The host is in the presence of a Body Void Reforging cultivator!>
<Immediate retreat is requested!>
Sei was forced onto one knee as the 2nd Demonic King stood. The man grinned as he looked at Sei.
"What sorcery do you use to make yourself look like that?" The man asked as he looked at Sei's unusual appearance. Unfortunately, he couldn't respond as the pressure made it impossible for him to speak.
"Well, if you cannot answer that, state the purpose of your visit here!" The 2nd Demonic Lord yelled at him as an even greater pressure was applied to Sei's body.
Although it was now even harder for Sei to answer what he asked him, he fought through the pain and managed a response, "To join the 2nd Demonic King's forces!"
He said that he almost passed out but he managed to keep consciousness. The 2nd Demonic King seemed satisfied with his answer and sat back down while releasing the pressure he had on Sei. As soon as he did so, Sei felt as if the weight of the planet had been taken off his shoulders.
He looked up at the 2nd Demonic King and waited for a response from him.
