Rebirth

Thunder shone violently as the storm roared out in anger. Lightning struck down on the land destroying various trees and mountains. The blood red moon hung high up in the sky overlooking the grievances of the living people.
From the view of any cultivator, they could easily tell that this violent storm was not natural. This was the signature of someone defying the heavens. The symbol of someone who was about to traverse the god realm. It was, a heavenly tribulation!
On a particular mountain peak, an old man with white hair sat with his legs folded. He sat in the lotus position. A monstrous fiendish aura was released from his very presence. His power was disgusting to the core and could even scare the demons of hell.
His killing intent could only be compared to the devil himself. His eyes were closed as he focused on breaking through.
Immediately his eyes snapped open. His irises shown with a bright purple light.
"Hahaha!!! Yes! Yes! Finally! I have almost reached the god realm. After years of gathering ancient knowledge and artifacts to create the ultimate foundation, it is finally done!"
He laughed hysterically as success approached.
Swish!
Suddenly a golden bright arrow zipped through the air and hit him in the heart.
"Argh! What?"
He said as he struggled up.
"Who's there?! Show yourself!"
He shouted angrily.
Immediately, from the shadows tens of thousands of powerful cultivators approached. Each of them was a peak level master cultivator who was at least in the profound immortal realm. Power pulsated through each and every one of them.
The old man frowned when he saw this scene.
"What's going on?"
"Is it not obvious, Supreme Demon Ren Song!"
A man in a taoist white and gold gown said with emphasis. He stood in front of the group, and one could easily tell that he was the leader of these fierce cultivators.
Supreme Demon Ren Song looked around him. He was completely surrounded. And then it dawned on him. He begun laughing hysterically.
It caused the leader of the cultivators to frown.
"Hahaha!! I see what's going on! You fools! You've formed an alliance to take me down at my weakest point? I can't believe you p*****s! You people call yourselves righteous right?, Immortal Venerable Lee!"
The leader of the cultivator, Immortal Venerable Lee, shook his head with sadness.
"I myself am ashamed. But you left us no choice. As the Supreme Demon you have committed countless crimes. You have r***d innocent girls, destroyed countries and even slaughtered children. You kill for entertainment, skin women alive for pleasure. You even harvested gallons of fresh blood from children! What else were we to do?"
Supreme Demon Ren Song smirked and pulled the arrow out of his chest. His wounds closed as his heart regenerated.
"Is it so wrong for me to indulge in my fantasies? It is my right as the strongest person on planet Sirah"
Immortal Venerable Lee's face twisted in disgust.
"You are beyond redemption Supreme Demon Ren Song. Even though you were so powerful that no one could kill you, you have already been weakened by the heavenly tribulation. Give up now, and we will give you a quick death."
Supreme Demon Ren Song had a stoic expression. His bright purple eyes glowed with intense anger. Bits of purple aura begun to emit from his body. The dust and smaller particules on the ground begun to float up.
"Before I kill you all tell me one thing, how did you know I was here? Only a few people knew that I was to break through here!"
"You'll never know" said Immortal Venerable Lee.
Supreme Demon Ren Song smirked as he was filled with delight.
'Yes... Yes! My followers are finally learning! Betraying your own master? I'm proud of you. But if I ever find out who you are, I'll r**e your wives and crucify your children."
He then lifted his head to look at the cultivators surrounding him.
"Let's get this over with, shall we?"
His long white hair and beard begun to float in the air. His frail and frickled skin suddenly looked tougher. His black taoist gown begun to float. His devilish purple aura was released. A strong wind begun to blow as the universe itself tried to reject his fiendish energy. A gigantic demon suddenly formed at the back of Supreme Demon Ren Song.
All the cultivators surrounding Ren Song backed away in fear as they felt his aura. Some collapsed and died.
'What-what?'
'This aura! Everybody run!'
'Hal- half step go- god realm!'
Some cultivators begun to turn back and run but before they could reach anywhere, black purple veins materialised on their skin. They convulsed and collapsed.
Immortal Venerable Lee's face paled. He shouted;
"Hold steadfast my brothers. His aura is soo toxic that it has become like poison. There is no escape, but if we fight we can at least take him down with us!"
The cultivators who were in despair steeled their hearts. They knew they would not survive this encounter, but they were aiming for something else. To take the Supreme Demon Ren Song with them.
"Fools!" Supreme Demon Ren Song shouted as the cultivators run towards him.
........
The sun rose beautifully. It was a new morning, and the orange light of dawn illuminated the area.
Supreme Demon Ren Song breathed heavily. He held the place where his right hand should have been. He was bleeding form everywhere as his guts were about to spill. He lay on the ground.
Thousands of bodies of powerful cultivators littered the mountain peak. Only ten percent of the cultivators were currently alive. Most were even severely injured.
He could not see well as his life was fading.
"I.. cough... cough... I didn't expect you to have that divine weapon... cough.... Immortal Venerable Lee."
"I am truly sorry Supreme Demon Ren Song. We use to be best friends fighting for truth and justice, why did you let your greed take over you?"
Immortal Venerable Lee said with sadness evident in his face.
"I.. cough... I know you are truly a good person Lee Yan. Not like the other righteous cultivators. But that is why you disgust me. I want to rip you apart. For to be good is to comfort others. But to comfort others is to lie to them. Therefore, your goodness..... Is a lie!"
Supreme Demon Ren Song said as he spat blood from his mouth. It had been ages since he had called Immortal Venerable Lee by his original name.
His irises became white as the last of his life left him.
Immortal Venerable Lee sighed. They had won. They had defeated the Supreme Demon that had terrorized their world for centuries. This day will forever be remembered by the future generations as the day the world of Sirah was freed from evil.
..........
Darkness..... An empty space that was filled with darkness. Only a single entity seemed to be in this boundless existence.
'Where am I? How long have I been here? It feels like centuries. Was I not killed by the cultivation alliance?'
Supreme Demon Ren Song was confused. He tried moving his body but found that he couldn't. It was like he didn't have one in the first place!
'Is this where evil people like me go when we die? But I wasn't evil was I? I was just wicked, greedy, ruthless and..... Let me just stop there'
Suddenly a strong suction force appeared and begun pulling Ren Song. It was like a black hole.
'What is happening? No!!!!!'
.........
Gasp!!!!!!!
A youth with silver hair and a strand of gold hair jolted up from a bed. She looked around the room she was in, then at her hands as if confused.
"Why? Why are my hands so small!" She murmured in shock.
