Looking at the Heart Demon Emperor reduced to a mere stick by his own hand, Lin Fan felt a twinge of reluctance to strike again. But he shrugged it off—there was no turning back now. The Heart Demon Emperor would surely see him as an enemy from this point on, so one slash was as good as many. No harm in adding a few more.
The Heart Demon Emperor was a dominant force in the Blood Realm, thriving on heart demons. He was practically immortal; as long as heart demons existed in the world, he would never truly perish. The Blood Realm was filled with vicious and ruthless beings, and the Heart Demon Emperor’s heart demons had long spread throughout that realm. However, this was his first time stepping into the Xuanhuang Realm, and his heart demons had yet to take root in human minds here. Thus, even if Lin Fan killed him here, the Heart Demon Emperor wouldn’t be able to resurrect in this world.
At this moment, the Heart Demon Emperor, reduced to a limbless stump, was wrapped in a swirling mass of black mist, slowly regenerating his limbs and head. This regeneration ability was similar to Lin Fan’s own “Limb Regrowth” technique—both relied on consuming one’s own essence to mend physical damage.
Lin Fan couldn’t help but wonder how much vitality remained in the Heart Demon Emperor’s blood to fuel this regeneration. Would the new limbs even contain any potent essence?
In an instant, the Heart Demon Emperor’s body was whole again.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan raised the Eternal Axe. A dazzling arc of axe-light illuminated the heavens, and in one swift motion, the Heart Demon Emperor’s limbs were severed once more.
“World Furnace, refine!”
Looking at the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, whom he had reduced to a mere stick, Lin Fan felt a twinge of reluctance to strike. But then again, considering the circumstances, the Demon Emperor would surely regard him as an enemy from now on. Whether he struck once or multiple times, it made no difference.
The Demon Emperor of Inner Demons was a dominant force in the Blood Realm, thriving on the inner demons of others. He was essentially an immortal entity, as long as inner demons existed in the world, the Demon Emperor would not perish. The Blood Realm was inhabited by the most vicious beings, and the Demon Emperor’s inner demons had already spread throughout it. However, this was his first visit to the Primordial Yellow Realm, and his inner demons had yet to take root in the hearts of humans. Therefore, even if Lin Fan were to slay him, the Demon Emperor would not resurrect in the Primordial Yellow Realm.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor, now reduced to a human stick, had his limbs and head enveloped in a black mist, slowly regenerating. This ability was remarkably similar to Lin Fan’s “Limb Regeneration,” both consuming their own essence to mend their defects. It was uncertain how much essence the Demon Emperor still possessed, and how much essence the newly regenerated limbs could contain.
Now that the Demon Emperor’s body was fully restored, Lin Fan picked up the Eternal Axe. A brilliant axe light illuminated the heavens and the earth, and the Demon Emperor’s limbs were severed once again.
“Heaven and Earth Furnace, refine.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining five drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining four drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
…
“Damn, I really shouldn’t have hoped for too much. The Demon Emperor has been thoroughly crushed.”
This time, he collected over twenty drops of essence blood. He wondered if it would be enough to completely break through the barrier.
Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, then his eyes lit up with an idea.
Now that a year had passed, the Blood Demon Emperor must have mostly recovered. This would be the perfect time to pull him out and strike again, with even greater certainty.
Thinking this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile.
Sometimes, having a sharp mind could be a curse.
Lin Fan patted his backpack, and the Blood Stone Gate instantly floated in the void, its blood-stained surface exuding a terrifying power. The students watching from a distance felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of dread rising from the depths of their hearts.
“What is that gate? The aura it emits is bone-chilling.”
“I don’t know. It’s something the teacher summoned. Maybe he’s planning something.”
“Ah, the teacher is truly the teacher. The things he brings out are always beyond our understanding.”
For these students, if they hadn’t met their teacher again, they would have felt a sense of pride, having gained opportunities and witnessed things they never could have imagined in the past two years. But now, that pride was instantly shattered. Compared to their teacher, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.
“Offering the Chains of Rules.”
“Come forth, Blood Demon Emperor.”
In an instant, chains of rules flew out from the backpack, swirling and rising like a soaring dragon, heading towards an unseen existence. Lin Fan had sometimes wondered who these offerings were for—certainly not the Heavenly Dao.
“Boom…”
The gates of the Blood Stone Gate swung open under the impact of that force, and from within the bloody world, a chilling aura erupted.
“Who dares summon me…”
The Blood Demon Emperor had yet to appear, but his vast, majestic voice echoed throughout the Cang Ling Continent from within the gate. From the Blood Stone Gate, a giant, scaly, blood-red leg stepped out, rivaling even the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons.
Lin Fan’s students stared in awe, realizing that another terrifying entity was about to emerge from the gate. They couldn’t understand why their teacher would summon such a horrifying being from behind the Blood Stone Gate. Was the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons so powerful that he had to call upon this creature to suppress him? They couldn’t think of any other reason.
“It’s me, the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. Long time no see. Come out,” Lin Fan said, smiling at the Blood Stone Gate floating in the void.
“Hmm…”
At that moment, the giant blood-red leg, about to touch the ground, suddenly paused, as if it had heard something terrifying.
Meanwhile, in the Blood Realm, the Blood Demon Emperor had been living a leisurely life. After being brutally tormented by that terrifying individual a year ago, he had learned a valuable lesson: as a demon, it’s best to be humble and low-key. Whenever someone offered sacrifices to summon him, he would casually extend a hand and suppress everything. Just as he was about to rest, he felt someone summoning him again. This made the Blood Demon Emperor quite happy, feeling that this was the kind of life he truly desired. Moreover, this time, the summoner had offered a significant amount of resources to bring his true form over. This excited the Blood Demon Emperor immensely. Finally, he had the chance to experience the wonders of another world and spread his glory across it, earning the worship and admiration of countless beings. Although every time someone summoned him, the offerings would be forcibly taken by an unseen entity, the Blood Demon Emperor never tired of it, as each journey from the Blood Realm to a new world was a joyous experience.
“I have arrived, insignificant ant. Where is your enemy?” The Blood Demon Emperor’s massive form fully manifested in the Cang Ling Continent, towering into the clouds, his domineering and majestic face wearing a smug smile. Indeed, the air here was so fresh. The Blood Demon Emperor was thrilled, though he wondered what kind of enemy he would face and how he should suppress them to showcase his might, leaving an indelible impression of his grandeur in the hearts of these insignificant beings.
But then, the Blood Demon Emperor heard a voice that seemed both familiar and distant, as if he hadn’t heard it in a very long time. His heart trembled.
“Blood Demon Emperor, why so silent?”
The voice came again, familiar yet strange.
The Blood Demon Emperor’s steadfast heart began to recall who this voice belonged to, and then it gradually crumbled…
“It can’t be such a coincidence…” The Blood Demon Emperor felt a sense of foreboding.
To confirm his suspicion, he looked up at the azure sky, took a deep breath, and cast his commanding gaze downward.
With that one glance, the Blood Demon Emperor was stunned.
Below him, a figure as small as an ant waved at him, as if greeting an old friend.
“Hi, Blood Demon Emperor…” Lin Fan called out with a smile.
The Blood Demon Emperor raised his head, his once domineering expression gone, replaced by a blank stare. Suddenly, two streams of blood tears flowed from his eyes.
A gentle breeze passed by…
The two drops of blood tears scattered into the heavens and the earth.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor knew what he had to do, for he saw beside him the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, who had been tortured beyond recognition.
Looking at the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, whom he had reduced to a mere stick, Lin Fan felt a twinge of reluctance to strike. But then again, considering the circumstances, the Demon Emperor would undoubtedly regard him as an enemy from now on. Whether he struck once or multiple times, it made no difference.
The Demon Emperor of Inner Demons was a dominant force in the Blood Realm, thriving on the inner demons of others. Essentially an immortal entity, as long as inner demons existed in the world, the Demon Emperor would never perish. The Blood Realm was inhabited by the most vicious beings, and the Demon Emperor’s inner demons had already permeated the entire realm. However, this was the Demon Emperor’s first visit to the Xuanhuang Realm, and his inner demons had yet to take root in the hearts of humans.

It was unclear how much essence the Demon Emperor still had left, or how much essence the newly regenerated limbs could contain. Soon, the Demon Emperor’s body was fully restored.
Lin Fan then took up the Eternal Axe, and with a brilliant flash of its blade that illuminated the heavens and the earth, he severed the Demon Emperor’s limbs once more.
“Heaven and Earth Crucible, refine!”
“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining five drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining four drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
…
“Damn, I really shouldn’t have expected too much. The Demon Emperor has been thoroughly crushed.”
This time, he collected over twenty drops of essence blood. He wondered if it would be enough to completely break through the barrier.
Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, then his eyes lit up with an idea…
A year had passed.
The Blood Demon Emperor must have mostly recovered by now. Pulling him out for another round of chopping would surely be more effective.
Thinking this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
Sometimes, being too clever could be a curse.
Lin Fan tapped his backpack, and the Blood Stone Gate instantly floated into the void, its blood-stained surface exuding a terrifying power. The students watching from a distance shivered at the sight of the gate, a sense of dread rising from the depths of their hearts.
“What is that gate? The aura it emits is chilling.”
“I don’t know. The teacher summoned it. Maybe he’s planning something.”
“Ah, the teacher is truly the teacher. The things he brings out are always beyond our understanding.”
For these students, if they hadn’t met their teacher again, they would have felt a sense of pride, having gained opportunities and witnessed things they never could have imagined in the past two years.

“Boom…”
The gates of the Blood Stone Gate swung open under the force of the impact, and from within the bloody world, a chilling aura emanated.
“Who dares summon me…”
The Blood Demon Emperor had yet to appear, but his vast, majestic voice had already spread across the entire Cangling Continent. From within the Blood Stone Gate, a massive, scaly leg stepped out, rivaling the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons in size.
Lin Fan’s students stared in shock, realizing that another terrifying entity was about to emerge from the gate. They couldn’t understand why their teacher would summon such a horrifying being from behind the Blood Stone Gate. Could it be that the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons was too powerful, forcing him to call upon this creature to suppress him? They couldn’t think of any other reason.
“It’s me, the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. Long time no see, come out,” Lin Fan said, smiling at the Blood Stone Gate floating in the void.
“Hmm…”
At that moment, the massive leg about to touch the ground suddenly paused, as if hearing something terrifying.
In the Blood Realm, the Blood Demon Emperor had been living a leisurely life. After being brutally tormented by that terrifying individual a year ago, he had learned a valuable lesson: as a demon, it’s best to be honest and keep a low profile. Whenever someone offered sacrifices to summon him, the Blood Demon Emperor would casually extend a hand and suppress everything. Just as he was about to rest, he felt someone summoning him again. This made him quite happy, feeling that this was the life he truly desired. Moreover, this time, the summoner had offered a significant amount of resources to summon his true form. For the Blood Demon Emperor, this was incredibly exciting. Finally, he had the chance to experience the wonders of another world and spread his glory across it, earning the worship and admiration of countless beings. Although the offerings were always forcibly taken by that unseen existence, the Blood Demon Emperor never tired of it, as each journey from the Blood Realm to a new world was a joyous experience.
“I have arrived, insignificant ant.

Indeed, the air here was so fresh. The Blood Demon Emperor was thrilled, though he wondered what kind of enemy he would face and how he should suppress them to showcase his might, ensuring that these insignificant beings would forever remember his towering presence.
But then, the Blood Demon Emperor heard a voice that seemed both familiar and strange, sending a shiver through his heart. It was a voice he hadn’t heard in a very long time.
“Blood Demon Emperor, why so silent?”
The familiar yet strange voice came again. The Blood Demon Emperor’s steadfast heart began to recall who this voice belonged to, and then it gradually crumbled…
“It can’t be such a coincidence…” The Blood Demon Emperor felt a sense of foreboding.
To confirm his suspicions, the Blood Demon Emperor gazed at the azure sky, took a deep breath, and looked down with his commanding gaze. In that instant, he was stunned. Below him, a tiny figure, as small as an ant, waved at him as if they were old friends.
“Hi, Blood Demon Emperor…” Lin Fan called out with a smile.
The Blood Demon Emperor looked up, his once domineering expression now replaced with a blank stare. In an instant, two trails of blood tears streamed from the corners of his eyes. A gentle breeze swept by, carrying the two drops of blood tears into the vast expanse of the world. At that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor knew what he had to do, for he saw the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons beside him, tortured beyond recognition.
Looking at the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, whom he had reduced to a mere stick, Lin Fan felt a twinge of reluctance to strike. But then again, considering the circumstances, the Demon Emperor would undoubtedly harbor enmity towards him in the future. Whether it was one strike or several, it made no difference.
The Demon Emperor of Inner Demons was a dominant force in the Blood Realm, thriving on the inner demons of others. He was essentially an immortal being, as long as inner demons existed in the world, the Demon Emperor would not perish. The Blood Realm was filled with the most vicious of beings, and the Demon Emperor’s inner demons had already spread throughout it. However, this was the Demon Emperor’s first foray into the Xuanhuang Realm, and his inner demons had yet to take root in the hearts of humans.

It was unclear how much essence the Demon Emperor still possessed, and how much essence the newly regenerated limbs would contain.
Soon, the Demon Emperor’s body was fully restored. Lin Fan, wielding the Eternal Axe, unleashed a brilliant arc of light that illuminated the heavens and earth, severing the Demon Emperor’s limbs once more.
“World’s Crucible, refine.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining five drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining four drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence.”
…
“Damn, I really shouldn’t have had such high hopes. The Demon Emperor has been thoroughly crushed.”
This time, he collected over twenty drops of essence. He wondered if it would be enough to completely break through the barrier.
Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, then his eyes lit up with an idea…
A year had passed.
The Blood Demon Emperor must have nearly recovered by now. Pulling him out for another round of strikes would surely be more effective.
Thinking this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile.
Sometimes, being too clever was a curse.
Lin Fan tapped his backpack, and the Blood Stone Gate instantly floated into the void, its blood-stained surface exuding a terrifying power. The students watching from a distance felt a chill run down their spines, a sense of dread rising from the depths of their hearts.

For these students, if they hadn’t met their teacher again, they would have felt a sense of pride. After all, in the past two years, some had encountered opportunities, while others had witnessed things they had never seen before. But now, that sense of pride was instantly shattered. Compared to their teacher, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.
“Offer the Chains of Rules.”
“Come forth, Blood Demon Emperor.”
In an instant, chains of rules flew out from the backpack, spiraling upwards like a soaring dragon, heading towards an unseen existence. Lin Fan had often wondered who these offerings were for—certainly not the Heavenly Dao.
“Boom…”
The gates of the Blood Stone Gate swung open under the force of the impact, and from within the bloody world, a chilling aura erupted.
“Who dares summon me…”
The Blood Demon Emperor had yet to appear, but his majestic voice, filled with supreme authority, echoed throughout the Cangling Continent.
From within the Blood Stone Gate, a massive, scaly, blood-red leg stepped out, rivaling the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons in size. Lin Fan’s students stared in awe, realizing that another terrifying entity was about to emerge from the gate.
They couldn’t fathom why their teacher would summon such a horrifying being from behind the Blood Stone Gate. Was the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons so powerful that he had to call upon this creature to suppress him? They couldn’t think of any other reason.
“It’s me, the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. Long time no see, come on out,” Lin Fan said with a smile, looking at the Blood Stone Gate floating in the void.
“Hmm…”
At that moment, the massive blood-red leg, about to touch the ground, suddenly paused, as if hearing something terrifying.
Meanwhile, in the Blood Realm…
The Blood Demon Emperor had been living a leisurely life. After being brutally tormented by that terrifying individual a year ago, he had learned a valuable lesson: as a demon, it was best to be humble and low-key.

Finally, he had the chance to experience the wonders of another world and spread his glory across it, earning the worship and admiration of countless beings.
Although every time someone summoned him, the offerings would be forcibly taken by that unseen existence, the Blood Demon Emperor still found joy in it. Each time he left the Blood Realm and descended into a new world was a joyous occasion.
“I have arrived, insignificant ant. Where is your enemy?” The Blood Demon Emperor’s massive form fully manifested in the Cangling Continent, towering into the clouds. His domineering and majestic face wore a blissful smile.
Indeed… the air here was so fresh.
The Blood Demon Emperor was thrilled, though he wondered what kind of enemy he would face and how he would suppress them to showcase his might, leaving an indelible impression of his grandeur in the hearts of these insignificant beings.
But then, he suddenly heard a voice that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, sending a shiver down his spine.

The voice, both familiar and strange, echoed once more.

“Hi, Blood Demon Emperor…” Lin Fan called out with a smile.
The Blood Demon Emperor looked up, his once domineering expression gone, replaced by a blank stare. In an instant, two trails of blood tears streamed from the corners of his eyes.
A gentle breeze blew…
The two drops of blood tears scattered into the heavens and earth.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor knew what he had to do, for he saw beside him the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, who had been tortured beyond recognition.
…
“Ugh, guess I shouldn’t have expected too much. The Heart Demon Emperor’s been completely drained.”
This time, Lin Fan collected over twenty drops of blood. He wondered if it would be enough to shatter the barrier.
He paused in thought, then his eyes lit up—he had an idea.
A year had already passed; the Blood Demon Emperor must have mostly recovered by now. If he summoned him again and struck once more, the chances of success would be even greater.
The thought made Lin Fan break into a wide grin.
Sometimes, being clever was just a curse.
Looking at the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, who had been reduced to a mere stick by his own hand, Lin Fan felt a twinge of reluctance to strike. But then again, it was too late for second thoughts. The Demon Emperor would undoubtedly see him as an enemy from now on. Whether he struck once or multiple times, it made no difference.
The Demon Emperor of Inner Demons was a dominant force in the Blood Realm, thriving on the inner demons of others. He was essentially an immortal being, as long as inner demons existed in the world, the Demon Emperor would never perish. The Blood Realm was filled with the most vicious and malevolent beings, and the Demon Emperor’s inner demons had already spread throughout it. However, this was his first visit to the Profound Yellow Realm, and his inner demons had yet to take root in the hearts of humans. Thus, even if Lin Fan were to slay him here, the Demon Emperor would not resurrect in the Profound Yellow Realm.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor, now reduced to a limbless torso, was enveloped in a dark mist, slowly regenerating his limbs and head. This ability was eerily similar to Lin Fan’s “Limb Regeneration,” both relying on consuming their own essence to mend their wounds. It was unclear how much of his essence the Demon Emperor had left, or how much of it would be contained in his newly regenerated limbs.
Soon, the Demon Emperor’s body was fully restored. Lin Fan, however, raised the Eternal Axe, and with a brilliant flash of light, the Demon Emperor’s limbs were severed once more.
“Heaven and Earth Furnace, refine!”
“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining five drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining four drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
…
“Damn, I really shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. The Demon Emperor has been thoroughly drained.”
This time, Lin Fan collected over twenty drops of essence blood. He wondered if it would be enough to break through the barrier completely. After a moment of silence, his eyes lit up with an idea.
A year had passed since then. The Blood Demon Emperor must have recovered by now. This would be the perfect time to summon him and strike again, with even greater certainty. Thinking this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile. Sometimes, being too clever could be a curse.
With a pat on his backpack, the Blood Stone Gate instantly floated into the void, its blood-stained surface exuding a terrifying aura. The students watching from afar felt a chill run down their spines as they gazed upon the gate. It emanated a sense of dread that was hard to ignore.
“What is that gate? The aura it gives off is bone-chilling.”
“I don’t know. It’s something the teacher summoned. Maybe he’s planning something.”
“Ah, the teacher is truly the teacher. The things he brings out are always beyond our understanding.”
For these students, if they hadn’t reunited with their teacher, they might have felt a sense of pride. After all, in the past two years, some had encountered great opportunities, while others had witnessed things they never thought possible. But now, that pride was shattered. Compared to their teacher, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.
“Offering the Chains of Rules.”
“Come forth, Blood Demon Emperor!”
In an instant, chains of rules flew out from Lin Fan’s backpack, swirling and rising like a dragon soaring into the unknown. Lin Fan had often wondered who these offerings were for—certainly not the Heavenly Dao.
“Boom!”
The Blood Stone Gate swung open under the force of the offering, revealing a blood-red world within. A chilling aura emanated from it, sending shivers down the spines of all who felt it.
“Who dares summon me?”
The Blood Demon Emperor had yet to appear, but his majestic voice echoed throughout the Cang Ling Continent. From within the gate, a massive, scaly leg stepped out, rivaling the size of the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. The students watched in stunned silence, realizing that another terrifying entity was about to emerge.
They couldn’t fathom why their teacher would summon such a being. Was the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons too powerful, forcing him to call upon this entity to suppress him? They couldn’t think of any other reason.
“It’s me, the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. Long time no see. Come out,” Lin Fan said with a smile, gazing at the Blood Stone Gate in the void.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, the massive leg paused mid-air, as if it had heard something terrifying.
In the Blood Realm, the Blood Demon Emperor had been living a leisurely life. After being brutally tormented by that terrifying individual a year ago, he had learned a valuable lesson: it’s better to be low-key and humble. Whenever someone offered sacrifices to summon him, he would casually extend a hand and suppress everything. But now, just as he was about to rest, he felt the call of a summoning once again.
This made the Blood Demon Emperor quite happy. This was the kind of life he desired. And this time, the summoner had offered a significant amount, enough to summon his true form. This excited the Blood Demon Emperor immensely. Finally, he would have the chance to experience the wonders of another world and spread his glory across it, earning the worship and reverence of countless beings.
Although the offerings were always taken by that mysterious entity, the Blood Demon Emperor never tired of it. Every time he left the Blood Realm and descended into a new world, it was a joyous occasion.
“I have arrived, insignificant ant. Where is your enemy?” The Blood Demon Emperor’s towering form appeared in the Cang Ling Continent, his domineering gaze sweeping across the land. A smug smile spread across his face. The air here was so fresh, so invigorating.
The Blood Demon Emperor was thrilled, though he wondered what kind of enemy he would face this time. How would he suppress them to showcase his might and etch his towering presence into the hearts of these insignificant beings?
But then, he heard a voice—a voice that was both familiar and distant, as if he hadn’t heard it in a long, long time.
“Blood Demon Emperor, why so silent?”
The voice came again, familiar yet strange. The Blood Demon Emperor’s steadfast heart began to crumble as he tried to recall who it belonged to.
“It can’t be…” A sense of foreboding washed over him.
To confirm his suspicions, the Blood Demon Emperor looked down at the vast blue sky, his eyes narrowing as he took a deep breath. His gaze fell upon a tiny figure below, waving at him as if they were old friends.
“Hey, Blood Demon Emperor!” Lin Fan called out with a smile.
The Blood Demon Emperor’s once-majestic expression faded, replaced by a blank stare. In an instant, two streaks of blood tears streamed down his face.
A gentle breeze swept by, carrying the blood tears into the air.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor knew exactly what he had to do. His eyes fell upon the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, who had been reduced to a pitiful state beside him.
The students watching from a distance felt a chill run down their spines as they beheld the crimson gate. A sense of dread welled up from deep within them.
“What is that gate? The aura it exudes is bone-chilling.”
“Not sure. It’s something the teacher conjured up. Maybe he’s planning something big.”
“Man, our teacher really is something else. Everything he pulls out is beyond our comprehension.”
To these students, they had once felt a sense of pride—after all, in the past two years, some had encountered rare opportunities, others had witnessed wonders they once could only dream of.
But now, that pride was utterly shattered.
Compared to their teacher, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.
“Offering the Chains of Law.”
“Come forth, Blood Demon Emperor.”
In an instant, chains of cosmic law burst forth from his backpack, spiraling upward like dragons ascending into the heavens, reaching toward some distant, unfathomable existence.
At times, Lin Fan had wondered—just who was he offering to? Definitely not the Heavenly Dao.
“Boom—”
The Blood Stone Gate was blasted open by an immense force, and from within, a crimson world exuded a chilling, terrifying aura.
“Who dares summon this Emperor…?”
Though the Blood Demon Emperor had yet to appear, his vast, commanding voice echoed from within the gate, spreading across the entire Cangling Continent.
From within the gate, a massive, scaly, crimson foot stepped forth—its leg alone was no less imposing than the Heart Demon Emperor’s.
The students watched in stunned silence.
They realized another terrifying being was about to emerge.
They couldn’t fathom why their teacher had summoned such a terrifying presence from beyond the gate. Was it because the Heart Demon Emperor was too powerful, and he needed this being to suppress him?
That was the only explanation they could think of.
Looking at the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, whom he had whittled down to a mere stick, Lin Fan felt a twinge of reluctance to strike. But then again, considering the circumstances, the Demon Emperor would undoubtedly regard him as an enemy from now on. Whether he struck once or multiple times, it made no difference.
The Demon Emperor of Inner Demons was a dominant figure in the Blood Realm, thriving on the inner demons of others. He was essentially an immortal being, as long as inner demons existed in the world, the Demon Emperor would never perish. The Blood Realm was filled with the most vicious and ruthless individuals, and the Demon Emperor’s inner demons had long since permeated the entire realm. However, this was the Demon Emperor’s first visit to the Xuanhuang Realm, and his inner demons had yet to take root in the hearts of humans. Therefore, even if Lin Fan were to slay him, the Demon Emperor would not resurrect in the Xuanhuang Realm.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor, now reduced to a human stick, had his limbs and head enveloped in a dark mist, slowly regenerating. This ability was remarkably similar to Lin Fan’s “Limb Regeneration,” both consuming their own essence to mend their flaws. It was unclear how much essence the Demon Emperor still possessed, and how much essence the newly regenerated limbs could contain.
Now that the Demon Emperor’s body was fully restored, Lin Fan picked up the Eternal Axe. A brilliant flash of the axe illuminated the heavens and earth, and the Demon Emperor’s limbs were severed once again.
“World Forge, refine.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining five drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining four drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
…
“Damn, I really shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. The Demon Emperor has been thoroughly crushed.”
This time, he collected over twenty drops of essence blood. He wondered if it would be enough to completely break through the barrier.
Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, then his eyes lit up with an idea…
A year had passed since then.
The Blood Demon Emperor must have mostly recovered by now. Pulling him out for another round of chopping would surely be more effective.
Thinking this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile.
Sometimes, having a sharp mind could be a curse.
Lin Fan slapped his backpack, and the Blood Stone Gate instantly floated into the void, its blood-stained surface exuding a terrifying power. The students watching from afar trembled at the sight of the gate, a sense of dread rising from the depths of their hearts.
“What is that gate? The aura it emits is chilling.”
“I don’t know. The teacher summoned it. Maybe he’s planning something.”
“Ah, the teacher is truly the teacher. The things he brings out are always beyond our understanding.”
For these students, if they hadn’t met their teacher again, they would have felt a sense of pride, as in the past two years, some had encountered opportunities, while others had witnessed things they had never seen before. But now, that sense of pride was instantly shattered. Compared to their teacher, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.
“Offer the Chains of Rules.”
“Come forth, Blood Demon Emperor.”
In an instant, chains of rules flew out of the backpack, swirling and rising like a soaring dragon, heading towards an unseen existence. Lin Fan had sometimes wondered who he was offering these to—it certainly wasn’t the Heavenly Dao.
“Boom…”
The gates of the Blood Stone Gate swung open under the force of that power, and a chilling aura emanated from the bloody world within.
“Who dares summon me…”
The Blood Demon Emperor had yet to appear, but his majestic voice, filled with supreme authority, echoed throughout the Cangling Continent.
From within the Blood Stone Gate, a massive, scaly, blood-red leg stepped out, rivaling the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons in size. Lin Fan’s students stared in awe, realizing that another terrifying entity was about to emerge from the gate. They couldn’t understand why their teacher would summon such a horrifying being. Was the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons so powerful that he had to call upon this creature to suppress him? They couldn’t think of any other reason.
“It’s me, the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. Long time no see. Come out,” Lin Fan said, smiling as he looked at the Blood Stone Gate floating in the void.
“Hmm…”
At that moment, the massive blood-red leg, about to touch the ground, suddenly paused, as if hearing something terrifying.
In the Blood Realm, the Blood Demon Emperor had been living a leisurely life. After being brutally tormented by that terrifying individual a year ago, he had learned a valuable lesson: as a demon, it was best to be humble and low-key. Whenever someone offered sacrifices to summon him, the Blood Demon Emperor would casually extend a hand and suppress everything. Just as he was about to rest, he felt someone summoning him again. This made him quite happy, as he felt this was the life he truly needed. Moreover, this time, the summoner had offered a significant amount of sacrifices to summon his true form, which excited the Blood Demon Emperor immensely. Finally, he had the chance to experience the wonders of another world and spread his glory across it, earning the worship and admiration of countless beings. Although the sacrifices were always forcibly taken by an unseen entity, the Blood Demon Emperor never tired of it, as each time he left the Blood Realm and descended into a new world, it was a joyous occasion.
“I have arrived, insignificant ant. Where is your enemy?” The Blood Demon Emperor’s massive form fully manifested in the Cangling Continent, towering over the heavens and earth. His domineering and majestic face wore a smug smile. Indeed, the air here was so fresh. The Blood Demon Emperor was thrilled, though he wondered what kind of enemy he would face and how he would suppress them to showcase his might, leaving an indelible impression of his grandeur in the hearts of these insignificant beings.
But then, the Blood Demon Emperor heard a voice that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, sending a shiver through his heart. It was a voice he hadn’t heard in a very long time.
“Blood Demon Emperor, why so silent?”
The voice came again, familiar yet distant. The Blood Demon Emperor’s steadfast heart began to crumble as he tried to recall who this voice belonged to.
“It can’t be such a coincidence…” The Blood Demon Emperor felt a sense of foreboding.
To confirm his suspicions, he looked up at the azure sky, took a deep breath, and cast his commanding gaze downward. In that instant, the Blood Demon Emperor was stunned. Below him, a figure as small as an ant waved at him, as if greeting an old friend.
“Hi, Blood Demon Emperor…” Lin Fan called out with a smile.
The Blood Demon Emperor’s once domineering expression vanished, replaced by a blank stare. In that moment, two trails of blood tears streamed from his eyes.
A gentle breeze blew…
The two drops of blood tears scattered into the heavens and earth.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor knew what he had to do, for he saw the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons beside him, tortured beyond recognition.
“Hmm…”
At that moment, the massive crimson leg about to land on the ground suddenly paused, as if it had heard something terrifying.
Back in the Blood Realm…
The Blood Demon Emperor had been living a rather leisurely life lately. Ever since he had been brutally tortured by that terrifying figure a year ago, he had learned a valuable lesson.
When you’re a demon, it’s better to stay low-key and obedient.
Whenever someone summoned him with offerings, he’d simply extend a hand and crush everything effortlessly.
Now, just as he was about to rest, he felt another summoning.
This thrilled him—he felt this was exactly the kind of life he needed.
What’s more, this time the summoner had offered a massive amount of tribute, attempting to bring his full form into this world. This made the Blood Demon Emperor incredibly excited.
Finally, he would have the chance to experience a new world, to spread his glory across this unfamiliar land, and to be worshipped and revered by countless beings.
Of course, every time he was summoned, the offerings were always taken away by some unfathomable force. But the Blood Demon Emperor still enjoyed the experience—each time he left the Blood Realm and entered a new world, it felt like a joyous occasion.
“I come, puny insect. Where is your enemy?” The Blood Demon Emperor fully emerged into the Cangling Continent, his towering form gazing down upon the heavens and earth, his proud, domineering face breaking into a delighted smile.
Indeed… the air here was so fresh.
He was thrilled, though he didn’t yet know what kind of opponent awaited him.
He also wondered how he should subdue this enemy to best showcase his might, ensuring these tiny beings would forever remember his mighty presence.
But at that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor suddenly heard a voice that sounded oddly familiar, and his heart lurched.
The voice was familiar, yet distant, as if it had been ages since he last heard it.
“Blood Demon Emperor, why so silent?”
That familiar yet strange voice came again.
The Blood Demon Emperor, trying to recall the voice, felt his confidence begin to crumble.
“This can’t be… could we really be this unlucky?” A chill crept into his heart, a sense of foreboding settling in.
Looking at the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, whom he had reduced to a mere stick, Lin Fan felt a twinge of reluctance to strike. But then again, since things had already come to this, the Demon Emperor would undoubtedly regard him as an enemy in the future. Whether he struck once or multiple times, it made no difference.
The Demon Emperor of Inner Demons was a dominant figure in the Blood Realm, thriving on the inner demons of others. He was essentially an immortal being, as long as inner demons existed in the world, the Demon Emperor would never perish. The Blood Realm was filled with the most vicious and ruthless beings, and the Demon Emperor’s inner demons had long since permeated the entire realm. However, this was the Demon Emperor’s first visit to the Xuanhuang Realm, and his inner demons had yet to take root in the hearts of humans. Thus, even if Lin Fan were to slay him, the Demon Emperor would not resurrect in the Xuanhuang Realm.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor, now reduced to a human stick, had his limbs and head enveloped in a dark mist, slowly regenerating. This ability was remarkably similar to Lin Fan’s “Limb Regeneration,” both consuming their own essence to mend their flaws. It was unclear how much essence the Demon Emperor still possessed, and how much of it would be contained in the newly regenerated limbs.
Soon, the Demon Emperor’s body was fully restored. Lin Fan, wielding the Eternal Axe, unleashed a brilliant flash of light that illuminated the heavens and earth, severing the Demon Emperor’s limbs once more.
“World Forge, refine.”
“Ding, congratulations on successful refinement.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining five drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
“Ding, congratulations on obtaining four drops of the Demon Emperor’s essence blood.”
…
“Damn, I really shouldn’t have held out too much hope. The Demon Emperor has been thoroughly crushed.”
This time, he had collected over twenty drops of essence blood. He wondered if it would be enough to completely break through the barrier.
Lin Fan fell silent for a moment, then his eyes lit up with an idea…
Now that a year had passed, the Blood Demon Emperor must have nearly fully recovered. This would be the perfect time to drag him out and give him another beating, ensuring a more decisive victory.
Thinking this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but smile.
Sometimes, being too clever could be a curse.
With a pat on his backpack, the Blood Stone Gate instantly floated into the void, its blood-stained surface exuding a terrifying power. The students watching from a distance trembled at the sight of the gate, a deep sense of dread rising from within.
“What is that gate? The aura it emits is chilling.”
“I don’t know. It’s something the teacher summoned. Maybe he’s planning something.”
“Ah, the teacher is truly the teacher. The things he brings out are always beyond our understanding.”
For these students, if they hadn’t reunited with their teacher, they might have felt a sense of pride. After all, in the past two years, some had encountered great opportunities, while others had witnessed things they never thought possible. But now, that pride was shattered. Compared to their teacher, they were like frogs at the bottom of a well.
“Offer the Chains of Rules.”
“Come forth, Blood Demon Emperor.”
In an instant, chains of rules flew out from the backpack, swirling and rising like a soaring dragon, heading towards an unseen existence. Lin Fan had often wondered who these offerings were for—certainly not the Heavenly Dao.
“Boom…”
The gate of the Blood Stone Gate swung open under the force of the impact, revealing a blood-red world within, from which a chilling aura emanated.
“Who dares summon me…”
The Blood Demon Emperor had yet to appear, but his majestic voice, filled with supreme authority, echoed throughout the Cangling Continent.
From within the Blood Stone Gate, a massive, scaly, blood-red leg stepped out, rivaling the size of the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. Lin Fan’s students stared in shock, realizing that another terrifying entity was about to emerge from the gate.
They couldn’t understand why their teacher had summoned such a horrifying being. Was the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons so powerful that he had to call upon this creature to suppress him? They couldn’t think of any other reason.
“It’s me, the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons. Long time no see. Come on out,” Lin Fan said with a smile, looking at the Blood Stone Gate floating in the void.
“Hmm…”
At that moment, the massive blood-red leg, about to touch the ground, suddenly paused, as if it had heard something terrifying.
Meanwhile, in the Blood Realm, the Blood Demon Emperor had been living a leisurely life. After being brutally tormented by that terrifying individual a year ago, he had learned a valuable lesson: as a demon, it was best to stay low-key and humble. Whenever someone offered sacrifices to summon him, he would casually extend a hand and suppress everything.
Just as he was about to rest, he felt the summoning once again. This made the Blood Demon Emperor quite happy, as this was the kind of life he desired. This time, the summoner had offered a significant amount, enough to summon his true form. This excited the Blood Demon Emperor immensely. Finally, he had the chance to experience the wonders of another world and spread his glory across it, earning the worship and admiration of countless beings.
Although the offerings were always taken by some unseen force, the Blood Demon Emperor never tired of it. Each time he left the Blood Realm and descended into a new world, it was a joyous occasion.
“I have arrived, insignificant ants. Where is your enemy?” The Blood Demon Emperor’s towering form fully manifested in the Cangling Continent, his domineering gaze sweeping across the land, a smug smile on his face.
Indeed… the air here was so fresh.
The Blood Demon Emperor was thrilled, though he wondered what kind of enemy he would face and how he would suppress them to showcase his might, leaving a lasting impression on these insignificant beings.
But then, he heard a voice that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar, sending a shiver down his spine. It was a voice he hadn’t heard in a very long time.
“Blood Demon Emperor, why so silent?”
The voice came again, both familiar and strange.
The Blood Demon Emperor’s steadfast heart began to crumble as he tried to recall whose voice it was…
“It can’t be such a coincidence…” The Blood Demon Emperor felt a sense of foreboding.
To confirm his suspicion, he looked up at the azure sky, took a deep breath, and cast his commanding gaze downward.
With that one glance, the Blood Demon Emperor was stunned.
Below him, a figure as small as an ant waved at him, as if greeting an old friend.
“Hi, Blood Demon Emperor…” Lin Fan called out with a smile.
The Blood Demon Emperor’s once domineering expression vanished, replaced by a blank stare. In an instant, two streams of blood tears flowed from his eyes.
A gentle breeze blew by…
The two drops of blood tears scattered into the air.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor knew what he had to do, for he saw beside him the Demon Emperor of Inner Demons, who had been tortured beyond recognition.
At that single glance, he froze.
There, far below, a tiny figure waved at him casually, like a long-lost friend.
“Hey there, Blood Demon Emperor…” Lin Fan called out with a grin.
The Blood Demon Emperor looked down, his once-mighty expression vanishing in an instant, replaced by stunned disbelief. In a flash, tears of blood streamed from his eyes.
A gentle breeze passed…
The crimson tears drifted through the air.
At that moment, the Blood Demon Emperor knew exactly what he had to do—because beside Lin Fan stood the Heart Demon Emperor, utterly broken and unrecognizable, clearly having endured unimaginable torment.
