247: Ancient Evil God, the Eye of Reincarnation!

11 PM - 1 AM has arrived.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged with a calm expression.

[Ding, daily intelligence has been refreshed.]

Three new pieces of intelligence surfaced. Lu Yuan's gaze swept over them, landing on the intelligence shimmering with golden light.

[Golden Intelligence: At noon today, the Son of Destiny Xiao Fan will obtain the Legacy of the "Ancient Desolate Evil God" deep within the Ten Thousand Monster Ridge of the Central Region.

At that time, with the help of the Legacy's power, all the remaining Sacred Body Shackles within his body will be broken. From then on, his path of cultivation will be smooth, and he will soar to the heavens.]

Immediately following, two more purple pieces of intelligence were refreshed.

[Purple Intelligence: The Ancient Desolate Evil God was a terrifying evil god who achieved the Dao through his Physical Body during the Ancient Desolate era.

He possessed a mutated Ancient Desolate Sacred Body and was a forbidden offspring born from the Human Race and the Primeval Evil God Clan.

His Legacy has been waiting for someone destined, but it contains a fatal drawback. Once the Legacy is accepted, the recipient's Physique will irreversibly transform toward the Evil God Clan, and their Heart-Nature will gradually be eroded by evil thoughts, turning them into a half-human, half-evil monster.

The Host possesses the Chaos Body and can devour all things. If you intercept this Legacy, you can ignore this drawback and directly absorb its essence.]

[Purple Intelligence: In addition to the mutated Sacred Body, the Ancient Desolate Evil God also possessed a companion Physique, the supreme pupil technique of the Evil God Clan—the "Reincarnation Divine Eye," which masters the power of the Law of Reincarnation.

However, in his Legacy land, only a fragmented Reincarnation Divine Eye remains. It is incomplete, but its power is still astonishing.]

After reading the intelligence, the smile on Lu Yuan's lips grew wider.

"Ancient Desolate Evil God? Mutated Sacred Body? Reincarnation Divine Eye?"

"Xiao Fan, you treasure-hunting rat are truly dedicated. Just after I snatched your wife, you turned around and sent me such a huge gift."

Lu Yuan stood up, a light of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Since it's a gift for me, I won't be polite."

...At noon the next day.

Ten Thousand Monster Ridge.

This place was shrouded in dense gray mist all year round, filled with miasma, venomous insects, and ferocious beasts.

The mountains rose and fell like a crouching Dragon, and the jagged rocks looked as hideous as malevolent ghosts.

The occasional roars of beasts were even more hair-raising.

Under the guidance of Venerable Yao, Xiao Fan went through untold hardships and finally arrived at the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Monster Ridge.

This was a vast basin where not a single blade of grass grew, and the ground was a strange dark red.

In the center of the basin stood an ancient and magnificent bronze palace.

No one knew how many ages that ancient palace had existed. Its surface was covered with copper rust and mottled marks, emitting a suffocating aura of vicissitudes and evil.

"This is the place!"

Looking at the bronze palace, Xiao Fan's heart beat violently.

Even before he approached, the Ancient Desolate Sacred Body Bloodline within him began to boil and throb inexplicably, as if something inside was calling to him—a resonance from the depths of his Bloodline.

"Yao Lao, I feel it! There must be something inside that can make me stronger!" Xiao Fan said excitedly.

"Be careful, this place is very wicked," Venerable Yao warned.

Xiao Fan nodded, took a deep breath, and walked to the main gate of the ancient palace.

The two bronze gates, a hundred zhang high, were tightly closed, carved with hideous ghost faces and twisted runes.

"It requires Sacred Body Essence Blood to open."

This realization came to him intuitively. Without hesitation, Xiao Fan bit his finger and flicked a drop of golden Sacred Body Essence Blood toward the gate.

"Buzz!"

The moment the Essence Blood touched the gate, it was instantly absorbed completely.

Immediately after, a tooth-aching grinding sound rang out as the bronze gate, sealed for countless ages, slowly opened a crack.

A cold, decaying, yet extremely tempting evil Qi surged out from the crack, instantly enveloping Xiao Fan.

"Hiss—so cold!"

Xiao Fan shivered, but the longing in his eyes grew even more intense.

Without any hesitation, he squeezed through the gate sideways.

The interior of the palace was vast and dark.

Green ghost fires burned on the surrounding walls, making the place look like the Senluo Ghost Palace.

"Is... is this a Righteous Path Legacy?"

Looking at this eerie and terrifying scene, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

This looked like the lair of a Demonic Path tycoon no matter how one viewed it.

"I don't care if it's the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path! As long as it makes me stronger and lets me kill Lu Yuan, I'm willing even if I turn into a devil!"

Xiao Fan gnashed his teeth, the hesitation in his eyes instantly replaced by hatred.

In the center of the hall, there was a blood pool ten zhang in size.

The pool didn't contain clear water, but rolling, boiling blood.

The blood was dark gold, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations that made one's heart palpitate, as if every drop of blood weighed ten thousand jun.

"Buzz!"

The moment Xiao Fan approached the blood pool, an illusory figure slowly condensed above it.

It was a tall man with a handsome face that nevertheless exuded endless evil.

His eyes were as black as ink with no whites, and there was a tightly closed vertical eye at the center of his brow.

The remnant soul of the Ancient Desolate Evil God!

He lowered his head, his pitch-black eyes landing on Xiao Fan, his lips curling into a satisfied arc.

"Ancient Desolate Sacred Body... you've finally come."

His voice was hoarse yet magnetic, echoing in the hall: "Although the Bloodline is a bit thin, it is barely qualified to carry my Legacy."

"Junior Xiao Fan pays respects to Senior!" Xiao Fan hurriedly bowed: "I implore Senior to bestow the Legacy and help me break the Sacred Body Shackles!"

The Ancient Desolate Evil God looked at him, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes: "Breaking the shackles? Simple, but there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

To obtain my Legacy, you must undergo the baptism of the Evil God's Blood.

At that time, your Bloodline will undergo a mutation. You will no longer be a pure Human Race, but a half-human, half-evil god existence. Are you willing?"

Xiao Fan was stunned.

No longer part of the Human Race? Becoming a monster?

If it were before, he might have hesitated or even refused.

After all, his identity as a member of the Human Race was his final bottom line.

But now... after the blows of having his wedding snatched, being humiliated, and being deserted by everyone, his psyche was already twisted.

"As long as I can become stronger, as long as I can take revenge... I am willing!" Xiao Fan looked up, his eyes filled with madness: "Even if I turn into a malevolent ghost, as long as I can kill Lu Yuan, I will do it at any cost!"

"Hahaha! Good! What courage!"

The Ancient Desolate Evil God laughed loudly. Although a hint of disdain for the Human Race lingered deep in his eyes, Xiao Fan's choice was exactly what he wanted.

"In that case, enter the pool and accept the baptism. I will help you break all shackles and reshape your true body!"

Xiao Fan took a deep breath, leaped, and jumped into the boiling blood pool.

"Zizizi—"

As soon as he entered the pool, the terrifying Evil God's Blood corroded his skin like strong acid and seeped into his pores.

Intense pain!

Heart-wrenching, lung-splitting pain!

Xiao Fan couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, but he gritted his teeth and didn't climb out.

He could feel that as the blood seeped in, the Sacred Body Shackles within his body were loosening bit by bit, and an unprecedented power was brewing inside him.
