On a mysterious island in the Eastern Spirit Continent, it was isolated from the world, surrounded by a thick, murky aura.
Above this island, the void suddenly tore open, and a figure staggered out from the rift.
This figure was the woman mistakenly taken by Lin Fan for the Queen of Heaven.
Her face was slightly pale, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her heart was filled with boundless rage over what had just occurred, but she had more pressing matters at hand and did not linger.
On the island stood an altar.
At the center of the altar lay a stone coffin, spotless and gleaming with ancient runes. Four elderly men sat cross-legged around the coffin, seemingly in a state of meditation, their bodies lifeless. Wisps of light floated from their forms and merged into the coffin, sealing the malevolent force trapped within.
The woman now stood at the altar, speaking to the four elders who appeared to have transcended into stillness.
The elders remained expressionless, letting out a soft sigh. They gazed at the stone coffin in the center of the altar, their faces tinged with concern.
It seemed they had already failed—Gengu had already escaped.
…
Within the forest.
Lin Fan scratched his head, having just leveled up, and his system had unlocked a new function.
Lin Fan opened his interface, quite satisfied with his current attributes. As he glanced at the newly appeared “Rules” function, his eyebrows slightly lifted. It seemed that after reaching the Grand Heaven Stage, he would need to refine the Chains of Rules.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged, sensing the laws of the world around him.
In an instant, Lin Fan felt his consciousness soaring through the heavens. Countless glowing specks floated around him. Curious, he reached out, attempting to grasp these lights.
“Ding! Congratulations, you have discovered the Rule of Iron. Would you like to refine it?”
“Ding! Congratulations, you have discovered the Rule of Water. Would you like to refine it?”
…
Seeing the various colored lights before him, Lin Fan finally understood.
All Rule Chains were formed by refining these glowing specks, each differing in color and shape. They required careful and gradual refinement.
“Refine the Rule of Water.”
“Ding! Beginning refinement of the Rule of Water. Progress: 1%.”
At that moment, Lin Fan could feel the Rule specks from the void rushing in from all directions, merging together. The power of the world surged into Lin Fan’s body.
Lin Fan’s brows furrowed slightly. As the power entered his body, it raged wildly, as if trying to burst free. However, the system quickly suppressed it.
A faint smile appeared on Lin Fan’s lips. It seemed refining the Rule Chains wasn’t easy. After absorbing these glowing specks into his body, he had to suppress each one and arrange them in order, much like DNA strands.
However, Lin Fan noticed that the system forcibly subdued each Rule speck as soon as it entered his body, saving him a significant amount of effort.
Thinking about how the Sect Leader and others had spent centuries refining just a dozen Rule Chains, it was clear that the process was extremely difficult.
Indeed, his system was the most powerful one—truly a god-tier system.
An hour later.
Lin Fan opened his eyes, his expression strange.
“Rule of Water, Progress: 5%.”
That was way too fast!
He was stunned by the speed of refinement. Just one hour had brought the Rule of Water to 5% completion. At this rate, refining a single Rule Chain wouldn’t take long at all.
One Rule per day meant over 300 in a year.
At this rate, there was no point in anyone else even trying—just surrender now.
Sigh…
At this moment, Lin Fan stood up, actively sensing the Rule specks. Without even deliberately cultivating, the progress continued to rise steadily.
What a cheating life—no real sense of the joy of cultivation.
In the end, he could only feel an overwhelming sense of dominance.
Lin Fan had refined many opponents, and within his inventory were seventy-five Rule Chains. He had originally intended to absorb them, only to discover that they couldn’t be absorbed.
However, precisely because they couldn’t be absorbed, Lin Fan felt a slight sense of fairness. If he could absorb Rule Chains directly, what was the point of cultivation? Just kill and refine others.
Since these seventy-five Rule Chains couldn’t be absorbed, he would have to make good use of them.
“Blood Stone Gate, come forth!”
Lin Fan took out the Blood Stone Gate from his inventory. The gate, filled with boundless blood qi, floated silently in the void.
On the Blood Stone Gate, countless blood-colored souls howled in torment, as if seeking to devour all life in the world.
Lin Fan gazed at the Blood Stone Gate, a sly grin creeping across his lips. “I originally thought you were useless, but now it seems you have great potential.”
“Sacrifice, ten Rule Chains.”
“Blood Demon Emperor, come forth!”
Ten Rule Chains entwined together, and a mysterious force in the void absorbed them, channeling their energy into the Blood Stone Gate.
“Screee…”
With a loud creak, the tightly sealed Blood Stone Gate swung open. Crimson beams of light, as if alive, swirled around the gate.
“Who dares summon this Emperor?”
“It’s me, your little master. Hurry up and come out!” Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed with infinite anticipation.
“Boom…”
Instantly, the sky churned with blood. From within the crimson gate, a massive blood-colored hand slowly extended.
The blood-red hand, with sharp and colossal fingers the size of small mountains, radiated an overwhelming aura that seemed to suppress the soul, leaving no room for resistance.
Within the Blood Stone Gate.
The Blood Realm.
Everything within was crimson, an endless sea of blood. The Blood Demon Emperor was born from this sea, possessing unmatched power.
The Blood Demon Emperor sat upon a supreme throne formed from the blood sea, his towering form exuding immense majesty. His blood-red eyes gazed down upon the heavens with disdain. Around him, countless lesser blood demons gathered.
The Blood Demon Emperor was the supreme ruler of the Blood Realm.
At this moment, the Blood Demon Emperor sensed a mysterious summons from the void, and it filled him with excitement.
It had been so long—so long since anyone had summoned him.
The last time he was summoned, he had been forced to sever one of his arms, an act that had enraged him. Yet, the power behind that summoning still left him wary.
Even so, the Blood Demon Emperor remained fearless. He would spread his name across all realms, making all beings worship him.
The sacrifice of ten Rule Chains was insufficient for the Blood Demon Emperor to fully manifest his true form. Only one arm could descend, yet even that was enough to suppress the ages.
Lin Fan, watching the blood-colored arm emerging, was filled with excitement. He immediately drew the Eternal Axe, sharpening it like a butcher ready for slaughter. In Lin Fan’s eyes, that blood-colored arm was his prey.
“You have summoned this Emperor. What does this insignificant human want?” The Blood Demon Emperor’s voice, majestic and domineering, echoed from within the Blood Stone Gate.
“I’m going to split you in two…” In that instant, Lin Fan gripped the Eternal Axe with both hands, leaping into the air and swinging the axe toward the blood-colored arm.
“Human, what are you doing?” The Blood Demon Emperor, sensing the human who had summoned him attacking, roared in fury. Yet, some mysterious force prevented him from retaliating against the summoner. Helplessly, he could only watch as the human attacked.
“Smash your arm!” Lin Fan roared, his aura surging into the heavens. The Eternal Axe radiated boundless light as he swung it down with all his might.
