203: Chapter 203 Before the Blood Fiend Sect, One Man Stands Guard

The Blood Fiend Mountain Range, located in the southwest of the Beichen Immortal Domain, is a continuous range of mountains shrouded in blood-colored mist all year round.

Here, the Spiritual Qi is thin, yet it is filled with dense Blood Fiend Qi, making it a paradise for Cultivators of the Demonic Path.

The mountain gate of the Blood Fiend Sect is located in the deepest part of this mountain range.

Looking from afar, a series of towering blood-colored palaces are built against the mountain, densely packed and grand in scale.

Above the palaces, blood-colored mist churns, forming a massive blood-colored canopy that shrouds the entire mountain gate.

Above the canopy, ghostly shadows flicker, and wails resound, emitting a chilling, sinister, and evil Aura.

This is the Blood Fiend Sect's sect-protecting Formation—the Blood Sea Soul Refining Formation.

This Formation has a notorious reputation; it is rumored to be able to refine the essence blood and Divine Soul of living beings, turning them into nourishment for the Formation, with infinite power.

Even a Heavenly Immortal Cultivator, if caught in the Formation, would find it difficult to escape without special means.

The Blood Fiend Sect is able to dominate the southwest of the Beichen Immortal Domain and become an overlord; this Blood Sea Soul Refining Formation has contributed immensely to that.

At this moment, outside the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate, there is silence.

Only the blood-colored mist churns silently, and the occasional wail of fierce ghosts from within the Formation breaks the dead silence.

Suddenly, at the end of the horizon, a gray figure walks through the air unhurriedly.

He wears a simple gray robe, black hair draped over his shoulders, with an ordinary face; it is none other than Lin Wan.

His pace is leisurely, like a stroll in a courtyard, but with every step, he covers a distance of thousands of feet.

In the blink of an eye, he arrives before the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate, hovering outside the light barrier of the Blood Sea Soul Refining Formation.

Lin Wan's appearance immediately attracts the attention of the Blood Fiend Sect's gate-guarding Disciples.

"Halt! Who goes there? This is the mountain gate of the Blood Fiend Sect; idlers, retreat immediately!"

A sharp shout comes from within the Formation.

Several blood-colored figures emerge from the mist; they are several Earth Immortal Cultivators wearing blood robes, and the leader is at the Early Stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

They stare at Lin Wan unkindly, their bodies emitting a thick Blood Fiend Qi.

Lin Wan sweeps his calm gaze over these people, as if looking at a few ants.

He does not answer, merely raising his right hand, extending his index finger, and lightly pointing at the blood-colored light barrier shrouding the entire mountain gate.

"Break."

A soft word, like a spring breeze brushing over the surface of a lake, devoid of any worldly Aura.

However, at the moment this word "Break" is spoken, the seemingly indestructible blood-colored light barrier trembles violently, like a balloon pricked by a needle, with countless fine cracks appearing on its surface.

The cracks spread rapidly, filling the entire light barrier in the blink of an eye.

"Crack—!"

A crisp shattering sound rings out, and the blood-colored light barrier, amidst the terrified and incredulous gazes of the Blood Fiend Sect Disciples, shatters with a boom, turning into countless blood-colored light spots that dissipate into the air.

The Blood Sea Soul Refining Formation is broken!

"Im... Impossible!"

The small leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, an Early Stage Heavenly Immortal, almost pops his eyeballs out, his voice distorted by extreme fear.

The Blood Sea Soul Refining Formation is a sect-protecting Formation capable of resisting attacks from a Golden Immortal!

It was broken by someone with a single finger—no, a single word? This... this is simply a fantasy!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Quick... quickly report to the Sect Master!"

The small leader reacts, screaming, and turns to flee.

But his body is as if nailed to the spot, unable to move.

Not only him, but the several Earth Immortal Disciples beside him are also imprisoned by an invisible force, their faces filled with despair.

Lin Wan does not even glance at them; with one step, he enters the Blood Fiend Sect's mountain gate.

He does not stop, walking straight toward the deepest part of the Blood Fiend Sect, toward that highest and most magnificent blood-colored palace.

"Who dares to trespass in my Blood Fiend Sect?!"

"Audacious scoundrel! You seek death!"

"Form up! Stop him!"

Lin Wan's intrusion into the mountain gate is like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

Countless Blood Fiend Sect Disciples surge from all directions, like a tide, surrounding Lin Wan tightly.

Among them are not a few Heavenly Immortal Cultivators, and even several Elders with powerful Auras, reaching the Late Stage and Peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

However, Lin Wan ignores them.

His pace remains leisurely, not fast, but with every step, he happens to appear in the gaps of the crowd, moving through the sea of people like a ghost.

Those techniques and Magic Treasures attempting to attack him dissipate silently as soon as they approach within three feet of his body, as if they had never existed.

"Spatial imprisonment!" An Elder at the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm shrinks his pupils and exclaims. "He is a Golden Immortal! At least a Golden Immortal!"

"Form the Blood Fiend Demon Dragon Formation! Trap him!" Another Elder, a Late Stage Heavenly Immortal with a sinister Aura, shouts sharply.

Hundreds of Blood Fiend Sect Disciples simultaneously spit out essence blood, activating their incantations.

Dense Blood Fiend Qi surges into the sky, condensing in the air into a hundred-zhang-long blood-colored Demon Dragon.

The Demon Dragon is lifelike, its scales terrifying, its blood-red eyes like lamps, emitting a monstrously fierce and evil Qi.

With a roar, it opens its blood-basin mouth and bites down fiercely toward Lin Wan!

This is the Blood Fiend Sect's combined attack Formation, the Blood Fiend Demon Dragon Formation, with infinite power.

Even a powerhouse at the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm, if caught in the Formation, would find it hard to escape the fate of being refined.

However, facing this terrifyingly fierce blood-colored Demon Dragon, Lin Wan finally stops his steps.

He looks up, watching the pouncing Demon Dragon, a trace of impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Annoying."

Still a single word.

With the word "Annoying" spoken, the hundred-zhang-long blood-colored Demon Dragon is grabbed fiercely by an invisible hand, its massive body suddenly stalling.

Then, amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, the blood-colored Demon Dragon lets out a shrill wail, its massive body disintegrating inch by inch, turning into a sky full of blood mist, and dissipating into the air.

"Pfft—!"

The hundreds of Blood Fiend Sect Disciples forming the array are struck hard, simultaneously vomiting blood, their Auras instantly wilting, collapsing to the ground and fainting.

The few Heavenly Immortal Elders presiding over the Formation also turn pale, retreating several steps, their eyes filled with boundless fear.

One word to break the Formation, one word to destroy the Demon Dragon!

Such means have already exceeded the scope of their cognition.

This is no Golden Immortal; this is clearly a Demon God descended into the world!

"Senior, spare us! Senior, spare our lives!" Those few Heavenly Immortal Elders no longer care about face, falling to their knees with a thud, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"We were blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai; we offended Senior and deserve to die! We beg Senior to raise your hand in mercy and spare our dog lives!"

Lin Wan sweeps his indifferent gaze over them, as if looking at ants.

"Where is Old Ancestor Blood Demon?"

"The... the Sect Master is in seclusion in the depths of the Blood Demon Hall..." the Elder at the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm says, trembling.

Lin Wan ignores them further; with one step, his figure disappears from the spot, and when he reappears, he is already standing before that highest blood-colored palace—the Blood Demon Hall.

The Blood Demon Hall is a hundred zhang tall, cast entirely from a dark red metal, emitting a thick, bloody, and evil Aura.

The hall is tightly shut, with hideous Devil Head patterns carved onto the door, lifelike, as if they might pounce out to devour people at any moment.

"Old Ancestor Blood Demon, roll out and die."

Lin Wan stands before the hall with his hands behind his back; his voice is not loud, yet it clearly enters every corner of the Blood Demon Hall, even penetrating layers of Restrictions, reaching the deepest part.

"Boom—!"

The door of the Blood Demon Hall suddenly explodes from the inside, turning into fragments filling the sky.

A terrifying Golden Immortal pressure, like a volcanic eruption, gushes out from the hall, sweeping in all directions.

The blood-colored mist in the sky churns violently, condensing into a huge blood-colored face; it is none other than Old Ancestor Blood Demon!

However, this blood-colored face is more solid than it was ten years ago, and its Aura is even more terrifying, faintly showing signs of breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Clearly, in these ten years of seclusion, Old Ancestor Blood Demon has not only recovered from his injuries but has also improved his cultivation.

"Senior Lín Fēng! You have finally come!" Old Ancestor Blood Demon's voice, like the wailing of ten thousand ghosts, is filled with resentment and killing intent.

"Ten years ago, relying on a secret technique, you destroyed my true Blood Demon body; this hatred is irreconcilable! Today, I will extract your soul and refine your spirit, leaving you to never be reincarnated for eternity!"

"Ten years of seclusion, and this is all the progress you've made?"

Lin Wan looks at the huge blood-colored face in the sky, shakes his head, his tone carrying a trace of disappointment.

"It seems I overestimated you."

"Arrogant!" Old Ancestor Blood Demon is enraged, his blood-colored face suddenly opening its huge mouth and spitting out a blood-colored light beam several times thicker.

Within the light beam, countless hideous ghost faces faintly roar, emitting an Aura that destroys everything.

This strike is more than several times stronger than ten years ago!

Clearly, Old Ancestor Blood Demon is truly angry, and his first move is a killing blow!

"Blood Fiend God-Destroying Light! Die for me!"

The blood-colored light beam tears through the sky, carrying a monstrous Blood Fiend Qi, and slams fiercely toward Lin Wan.

Wherever it passes, space ripples, as if it is about to break.

Facing this terrifying strike capable of killing an ordinary Early Stage Golden Immortal, Lin Wan's expression remains calm.

He does not even use the Origin power of the Chaos Dao Seed, merely raising his right hand and extending his index finger.

"Fix."

A soft word, as if the Law follows his words.

That earth-shattering blood-colored light beam, when ten zhang above Lin Wan's head, suddenly stops, as if frozen by ice, solidifying in mid-air.

Within the light beam, those hideous ghost faces maintain their roaring posture, their expressions frozen, their eyes filled with fear.

"Disperse." Lin Wan speaks again.

The solidified blood-colored light beam, along with the ghost faces within it, disintegrates inch by inch like a sand sculpture blown away by the wind, turning into the most primitive Blood Fiend Qi, and then is dissipated completely by an invisible force.

"Im... Impossible!" On Old Ancestor Blood Demon's blood-colored face, an unbelievable terror appears.

He has been in seclusion for ten years, his cultivation greatly advanced, full of confidence, thinking it enough to take revenge.

Yet he never expected that Lin Wan's strength would be even more terrifying than ten years ago!

Words becoming Law, fixing his full-strength strike—such means, even a powerhouse at the Middle Stage of the Golden Immortal realm might not be able to achieve!

"My turn." Lin Wan says indifferently, taking a step forward.

With this step, the Aura around him changes suddenly.

If he was a bottomless ancient well before, then at this moment, he is a volcano about to erupt!

A vast, ancient, and supreme Aura erupts from his body, instantly dispersing the blood-colored mist in the sky, and even suppressing Old Ancestor Blood Demon's Golden Immortal pressure!

"Chaos—Heaven Opening Finger!"

On the index finger that Lin Wan extends, at the tip, a speck of gray light quietly lights up.

This light is initially only the size of a needle tip, but in an instant, it expands and brightens, turning into a gray finger-beam that connects heaven and earth!

Within the finger-beam, Chaos Qi churns, as if containing the great power to open heaven and earth.

Wherever it passes, space collapses, time becomes chaotic, and all things return to nothingness!

This is a Divine Ability created by Lin Wan after ten years of seclusion, combining the Profound Truth of the "Chaos Dao Derivation Scripture" and his own understanding of the Chaos Law!

Using the Origin power of the Chaos Dao Seed as a guide, simulating the intent of opening heaven and earth, its power is far greater than the previous Chaos Finger!

"No—!" Old Ancestor Blood Demon's blood-colored face lets out a scream of extreme shrillness.

He feels it; within this finger, there is a terrifying power sufficient to destroy his Divine Soul completely!

He wants to flee, but the surrounding space has long been locked; he is like an insect trapped in amber, unable to move!

"I am willing to submit! I am willing to offer up all the Treasure Trove of the Blood Fiend Sect! I beg Senior to spare my life—!"

Old Ancestor Blood Demon screams frantically, his voice filled with despair and pleading.

However, it is too late.

The gray Heaven Opening finger-beam lightly taps on that huge blood-colored face.

"Pop—"

A slight sound, like a bubble bursting, rings out.

The blood-colored face solidifies instantly, then, like a broken mirror, is covered with dense cracks.

The cracks spread rapidly, filling the entire face in the blink of an eye.

"Boom—!"

The blood-colored face explodes with a boom, turning into countless blood-colored light spots, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Dissipating along with it is Old Ancestor Blood Demon's terrified, unwilling, and resentful Divine Soul.

Early Stage Golden Immortal, Sect Master of the Blood Fiend Sect, Old Ancestor Blood Demon, has fallen!

One finger, opening heaven, destroying a Golden Immortal!

Heaven and earth are silent.

Within the Blood Fiend Sect, all the surviving Disciples and Elders stare blankly at the sky, at the slowly dissipating blood-colored light spots, and at the gray figure standing with his hands behind his back like a Demon God, their minds blank.

Their Sect Master, a Golden Immortal powerhouse, just like that... died? Killed by a single finger?

Fear, like a plague, instantly spreads through everyone's hearts.

Not knowing who kneels down first, they kowtow frantically toward Lin Wan's direction.

"Senior, spare us! Senior, spare our lives!"

"We are willing to surrender! We beg Senior to spare our dog lives!"

"The Blood Fiend Sect is willing to surrender the entire sect and serve Senior as our master!"

Cries and pleas resound throughout the entire Blood Fiend Sect.

The Blood Fiend Sect Cultivators who were previously aggressive and wanted to surround and kill Lin Wan are now like stray dogs, kneeling in a mass, trembling.

Lin Wan sweeps his indifferent gaze over the people kneeling below, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.

He came here only to kill Old Ancestor Blood Demon, settle his Karma, and by the way... collect resources.

"The Blood Fiend Sect, from now on, is erased."

Lin Wan's indifferent voice, like a heavenly decree, resounds in the ears of every Blood Fiend Sect Cultivator.

"Hand over all resources. Those who resist, die."
