Chapter 1078: 1078
After a minute of blinding brilliance, the light started to fade to a more bearable level . And as Han Sen looked its way, a demonic voice began to boom from within the glow .

Within the light, Han Sen saw the faint outline of a strong man . He was sitting and speaking .
The demonic voice was surreal to hear . It was of a language Han Sen could not recognize, and although that meant he should not have been able to understand what was spoken, he somehow could .
When this light appeared, the attentiveness of all the creatures stiffened . They turned to look at the luminance keenly . They were all like well-disciplined and obedient students at school, and while the scene was a serious one, the sight was not without a measurement of grin-bearing silliness .
Dragon King was in too much shock to speak, and he looked absolutely mortified . Seeing spirits of the dead come to attack would not warrant such fright, Han Sen believed .
He wished to ask what was happening, but Han Sen refrained from doing so . He imagined the consequences could be dire, if he dared disturb the creatures now .
Han Sen then chose to try and satiate his curiosity himself . He perked his ears and tried to listen to what the demonic voice was saying .
The six super creatures, and all the other creatures present, were in a trance-like state as they listened .

The language was a strange one . When Han Sen tried to analyze the form of the words deeply, he could not understand a thing . But when he listened to it lightly, as if it were background music, he could understand it clearly . Every word and its meaning were as clear as a bell .
Han Sen looked towards the light and kept on listening . He was surprised by his own attentiveness .
As he heard the words spoken, he felt a new strength course through his body . If the powers in his veins were like the babbling brooks of a mountainside, they were now comparable to roaring rapids .
Han Sen's energy combined with this power, becoming one .
Boom!
The Dongxuan Sutra suddenly opened a new gene lock, much to his utter shock .
And that power resided there without lessening . It marched towards the next gene lock .
Han Sen felt two different powers overwhelm him . The light itself was one aspect of this, and it made him feel grossly incandescent . It glowed around him, but it did not enter his body .

The other power came from the demonic language . This penetrated him deeply, and it was like a Qi Gong that drew the exterior power—which was borne on the light—inside .
This strange strength combined with the strength that already resided within Han Sen, and the might of both forces were swift to break down another gene lock .
Han Sen had no clue who was inside that light, who could impart so much power with the glow and a few words, but he was immeasurably thankful . He had oh-so-easily improved his Dongxuan Sutra by a large amount .
Han Sen turned to look at all the other creatures behind him and noticed they too were wrapped in the same glow that caressed him . The creatures behind him were also having their gene locks opened .
With that holy light around them, heaven knew how many gene locks they were opening .
There was no need for more geno fruits or geno flesh, and there was no need for practice, either . Basking in that warming glow and hearing the words spoken was enough to knock down gene locks with ease .
But Han Sen felt something wrong or amiss with this . While the light had been able to open his gene locks, it wasn't in a manner he wished for them to be unlocked .

More and more of that power penetrated Han Sen, and it began to overwhelm his own strength . He was helpless, feeling the demonic influence usurp his own inner-power .
"This isn't right!" Han Sen wanted to stop the power from penetrating him and disconnect himself from it .
But Han Sen could not stop it, and it was within him, dictating his own energy flow .
Katcha!
Another gene lock was opened, and the power was incredibly strong .
Han Sen could feel the power getting stronger and stronger, and while he could still feel the gene locks breaking, he wasn't happy .
Han Sen wasn't the smartest man alive, but at least he was honest . He wasn't one to deny help, but he wanted to command his ascension and progression of power . What was happening right now did not sit right with him .
And it wasn't just that . It was how this demonic power penetrated him without permission that offended him the most . It had come inside and replaced his own power, making his own little more than an add-on . He was not entirely himself .
The power from that light was taking over, and there was nothing he could do to prevent its intrusion .
It was like he had been forced to learn a mathematical equation or formula, and the demonic language in his head taught him how . It was a way to become stronger, and it had indeed worked .
But if he did not learn the core of the formula, his mind would be trapped .
Han Sen no idea how he had become so much stronger in such a short amount of time, but it had happened, whether he liked it or not .
But he still felt it was wrong, and that he would be worse-off by improving his power this way . He had not commanded this ascension and neither had he learned the inner-workings of every gene lock . He mastered his own skills and perfected each step of his progression; that was how he always did things . This could put him in danger .
He was walking along a path someone else had told him to go on, without knowing where he was going and for what purpose .
With the promise of an increase in strength, many would gladly oblige and follow the path .
But Han Sen was different, if not a little stubborn . He wanted to learn the workings of the world himself, and he wanted to understand the core of his strength through his own means . He liked to command his being and his purpose, not have someone else guide and hold his hand .
"This is not what I wanted . " Han Sen cast Blood-Pulse Sutra, and with the Dongxuan Sutra, tried to fight back against the power .
