Demonic Ascendance: A Devil's Chronicles Chapter 1: Li Wuji
The wind howled through the lifeless trees as Li Wuji was taken through the gates of the infamous Black Temple; his arms were bound tightly behind his back. The rugged young man now exuded an air of cold resolve, his eyes sharp and calculating.Betrayed by his own clansmen and sentenced to a lifetime of imprisonment, Li Wuji was still digesting the brutal betrayal. The guards sneered at him as they threw him into his cell, the heavy iron door slamming shut with a deafening echo."Bastards." Li Wuji spat towards the door before his gaze swept across the dimly lit cell; his mind was already analyzing the surroundings. The cramped space and rough-hewn stone walls were the first things he noticed in the tiny space.The air in the cell was suffocating, tainted by the musty scent of mildew and decay. It was a revolting smell that reflected his dire situation, as he would have to sleep through the awful smell."To think my clansmen could be this wicked." His mind focused and his heart harden

As he emerged into the light, he saw that he was not alone. All around him, other prisoners were standing outside their cells, staring at him with a mixture of fear and curiosity. The prisoners and the guards alike had different expressions on their faces as they saw the man who had just emerged from the tiny cell. Li Wuji possessed a striking appearance that reflected both his resilience and physique. Standing at nearly two meters tall, he had a lean and powerful build, honed by years of hunting and survival in the wilderness. His features were sharp and defined, with a strong jawline and piercing, calculating eyes that seemed to hold secrets within their depths. Li Wuji's unkempt black hair fell to his shoulders, partially obscuring his face and adding an air of mystery to his countenance. He sported a short, well-kept beard that framed his lips, giving him a primitive and somewhat attractive look. His attire consisted of worn and tattered clothing, remnants of his previous life

The prisoners, who had long suffered under Bo Xi's cruel reign, watched in stunned silence as their tormentor lay defeated before them. Some looked on with disbelief, hardly daring to believe that the seemingly impervious Bo Xi had been brought to the ground.Li Wuji, his cold and vindictive nature fully unleashed, stood tall and composed, a stark contrast to the broken man on the ground. He gazed at the prisoners with a look of pride and resolve; his eyes seemingly held answers to all their troubles."This is the man that has been enslaving you," Li Wuji declared, his voice cutting through the air with power. "Either he has grown weaker or you all are simply earthworms with no means of defending yourselves."The prisoners exchanged uncertain glances, their spirits emboldened by Li Wuji's display of power and defiance. The realization that they too possessed the strength to stand against their oppressor began to seep into their weary souls."D-damn it…" Bo Xi, his face twisted in agon

As Li Wuji began to push open the doorway, the prisoners began to tremble with anticipation; their fear and anxiety were almost tangible in the atmosphere. They didn't know what was in store for them beyond this point.'Has Li Wuji actually kept his word?' Lin Feng couldn't help thinking to himself as he watched Li Wuji open the door. 'No, that can't possibly be the case; he isn't being entirely truthful with us.' The door slowly began to crack open as Li Wuji used a great deal of might to push the metal doors, which was accompanied by the cheers of the animated prisoners behind him.'This band of dim-witted fools have served their purpose thus far.'

'I may have reduced their numbers a bit too much, but I still believe they shall suffice as is.'"Behold my brothers!" LI Wuji roared with majestic valor. "Our path to freedom is before us!" The prisoners pushed aside one another as they raced

Demonic Ascendance: A Devil's Chronicles Chapter 5: The End of Captivity
Li Wuji wasn't reserved with collecting the spoils of battle as he calmly walked over to the unconscious Wei Dong and frisked him quickly, It was a scene that could take one's breath away as the indomitable Wei Dong was being searched like a hoodlum.'This crystal is useless to me, but it would fetch a rather good price to the right buyer.' Li Wuji quietly evaluated the belongings of Wei Dong, which were rather underwhelming considering his status.In Li Wuji's opinion, the Warden's more valuable items were most likely still in his office, but he was in no mood to rob his fallen adversary of his prized belongings. The only thing of any real value to him was a bright piece of folded parchment that was written on by a cultivator of extreme Yang, It could be noted from the blunt and straightforward manner of writing that the one who wrote the letter was also a person of considerable authority.'Overseer Wei Dong, I wish to inform you that a prisoner will be delivered to your branch in th

"Isn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever seen?"Yu Bao rubbed his bleary eyes and let out a yawning. "You're delusional, Lei Wong," he grumbled. "All I see is a bright light blinding me."Lei Wong chuckled. "You need to open your eyes, my friend. Look at how the light dances across the sky, painting it in shades of gold and orange. It's like watching a painting come to life."Yu Bao shook his head.
