104: Chapter 104 Upper Realm Restriction? This blind box is a bit too exciting.

Extreme North Ice Field, Heavenly Demon Cult ruins.

The snow and wind continued, but the oppressive Devilish Qi that had shrouded this place for ten thousand years had completely dissipated with the fall of The Demon Cult Leader.

Lin Que stood before the shattered Demon Suppressing Pagoda. With a wave of his hand, a dark gold Storage Ring flew out from The Demon Cult Leader's remains and landed steadily in his palm.

As the Sect Master of the number one demonic Sect in the Central Continent, The Demon Cult Leader's entire fortune was undoubtedly the fattest loot on this continent.

"Young Master Lin, be careful!"

Su Qingyu had just approached when her face suddenly turned pale, and she retreated three steps.

On the surface of that dark gold ring, an obscure and complex pale gold rune suddenly emerged.

As soon as this rune appeared, the surrounding Void Realm let out an overburdened wail. A destructive aura far exceeding the Soul Transformation Stage locked onto Lin Que's Divine Sense.

"This is... the Upper Realm's [Immortal Fall Blood Restriction]!"

Although Su Qingyu's cultivation wasn't high, the Su Family was a top-tier family after all, with many ancient records.

Her voice trembled: "Ancient records say that even Soul Transformation Peak powerhouses wouldn't dare touch this kind of Restriction. Once forcibly removed, the 'Immortal Dao Law' contained within will follow the Divine Sense and cause the person opening the lock to have their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

Clearly, this was a life-saving or top-secret measure bestowed upon The Demon Cult Leader by the 'Reapers' of the Upper Realm. It was to prevent him from being killed and his treasures stolen.

"Immortal Dao Law? Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering?"

Lin Que toyed with the hot ring. Not only did he not throw it away, but a hint of excited purple light flashed in his eyes.

"Interesting. The big shots in the Upper Realm are quite particular about property protection."

"However, I, Lin Que, never spend money to open blind boxes, and I certainly don't take losses."

Lin Que gripped the ring tightly, and the cold, domineering voice of the System in his mind instantly activated.

[High-dimensional space encryption protocol (Immortal Fall Blood Restriction) detected!]

[Analysis: Contains powerful Divine Soul backlash and a spatial self-destruction program.]

[Logic reorganization initiated—security door dismantling and reverse detonation!]

[Operation 1: Brute-force crack the password and take over the storage space!]

[Operation 2: Redirect the 'Immortal Dao Law backlash and explosive damage' along the Karma line of the Restriction's creator... and return it to the source!]

"System, send a return gift to our old friend in the Upper Realm."

Buzz!

A blinding purple-gold light suddenly erupted from Lin Que's palm!

Under the System's domineering intervention, the pale gold rune, which claimed to be able to kill even a Soul Transformation Peak expert, was like a rat encountering boiling water. It let out a "squeak" of misery and was directly stripped from the ring!

Then, the rune did not explode. Instead, it turned into a streak of light, tore through the sky of the Extreme North Ice Field, and plunged straight into the depths of the endless Void Realm!

...

Simultaneously.

In the [Upper Realm], separated by an unknown number of Star Domains, inside a divine Peak hall filled with ethereal Immortal Qi.

A young man wearing an immortal-grade dharma robe sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, resting with his eyes closed.

He was one of the Reapers responsible for monitoring the Lower Realm's "Central Continent."

Suddenly.

The young man snapped his eyes open. He felt an extremely violent destructive power, carrying his own Origin aura, emerge from the Void Realm without warning and explode directly in his Sea of Consciousness!

"Boom!!!"

"Aaaah!!! My Immortal Soul!!!"

The young man screamed as pale gold immortal blood sprayed from his seven orifices. He was blown off the prayer mat and slammed hard against the stone wall of the divine Peak.

The Immortal Dao Foundation he was so proud of actually had three cracks blasted into it by his own [Immortal Fall Blood Restriction]!

"In the Lower Realm... how could anyone possibly reflect my immortal Restriction?! What kind of monster did that trash, The Demon Cult Leader, provoke?!!"

Clutching his splitting head, the young man let out a howl of unbelievable, impotent rage.

...

Extreme North Ice Field.

*Click.*

With a light sound, the Restriction on The Demon Cult Leader's storage ring completely dissipated, and the door swung open.

"Done."

Lin Que blew on his fingertips unharmed, as if he had merely crushed a mosquito.

Beside him, Su Qingyu had already become numb to it all.

Even an immortal Restriction from the Upper Realm could be crushed with a flick of his hand? What else did her Young Master Lin not dare to do?

Lin Que's Divine Sense probed into the ring.

In the next second, even Lin Que, who had just raided the Zhengdao Alliance's treasury and considered himself someone who "viewed money as dirt," couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Too fat!

If the Zhengdao Alliance's treasury was a mountain of gold and silver, then The Demon Cult Leader's ring was a miniature Universe!

Mountains of Top-Grade Spirit Stones had been tossed into a corner. What truly occupied the core positions were three complete Spiritual Veins (extracted and sealed with great Divine Ability), hundreds of scrolls of lost ancient Demonic Path Jade Slips, and...

A fist-sized, completely transparent, strange crystal that seemed to have stars being born and dying inside it.

"What is this?"

With a thought, Lin Que took out the crystal.

As soon as the crystal appeared, the surrounding wind and snow instantly froze.

A profound aura of "World Origin" spread out. Lin Que even felt that what he held in his hand was not a stone, but an independent Small World!

[Rare item scanned: World Origin Boundary Stone (Fragment)!]

[Description: Top-tier resource bestowed by the Upper Realm to its Lower Realm lackeys. Contains a trace of complete spatial and creation Laws.]

[Usage: Can be used for "inner heaven and earth" construction when breaking through to the Soul Transformation Stage; or for forging Immortal Artifacts!]

"Good stuff!"

Lin Que's eyes lit up.

He had just reached the Middle Stage Nascent Soul. Forcing himself to devour spiritual energy to raise his Realm in the short term would lead to an unstable Foundation. But this Origin Boundary Stone was different; it contained "Laws," a supreme divine object for tempering weapons and the Physical Body!

"Green Fish, protect me for half an hour."

Without any hesitation, Lin Que sat down cross-legged on the spot.

He drew the starfall mo dao from his back and laid it flat across his knees.

This blade had accompanied him from the bottom all the way to the Nascent Soul stage. Although the material was special, it was starting to struggle to withstand the violence of the four-colored exotic fires when facing Soul Transformation old monsters; tiny nicks had even appeared on the edge.

"Old partner, I'm giving you an upgrade today."

The four-colored divine demon nascent soul at Lin Que's forehead suddenly opened its eyes!

Whoosh!

The purple Three Thousand Blazing Flames, the white Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the red earth core flame marrow, plus a wisp of golden Buddhist light, instantly enveloped the starfall mo dao and the Origin Boundary Stone!

"Seven Absolute Blades" · Weapon Forging Formula!

Under the terrifying high temperature of the four-colored exotic fires that could even melt the Void Realm, the indestructible Origin Boundary Stone began to melt slowly, turning into transparent drops of Law liquid that fell onto the pitch-black starfall blade.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!!

The blade trembled violently, letting out bursts of clanging sounds like the roars of dragons and tigers!

Deep, starlight-like patterns began to emerge on the originally pure black surface of the blade. And at the edge of the blade, even light was being severed and swallowed!

Lin Que forced out a drop of purple-gold essence blood from his Undying Blood Body (Demon God Body) and flicked it into the blade. Sacrificing blood to the blade, man and blade as one!

Half an hour later.

Buzz—!!!

A terrifying Saber Intent capable of tearing the sky soared from Lin Que's knees!

The eternal dark clouds over the Extreme North Ice Field were split in two by this invisible Saber Intent, revealing a ten-thousand-mile-long rift of clear sky! It was unable to heal for a long time!

[Congratulations, Host! Lifebound Treasure successfully reforged!]

[Treasure: starfall (Advanced Version)]

[Grade: Quasi-Immortal Artifact (Has exceeded the limit of a top-grade Magic Treasure, contains a trace of spatial armor-piercing Law)!]

[Traits: Ignores all protective spiritual light below the Soul Transformation Stage; swings carry spatial lockdown!]

"Quasi-Immortal Artifact..."

Lin Que grasped the hilt.

At this moment, he felt the blade in his hand had become an extension of his arm.

With a casual swing, he could cut Karma and shatter the Void Realm!

Combined with his profound spiritual energy of the Middle Stage Nascent Soul and his half-step Soul Transformation Demon God Body, if he encountered a Soul Transformation Early Stage old monster like The Demon Cult Leader again, he wouldn't need the System's help to reflect damage.

Just one strike.

If a god blocks, kill the god; if an immortal blocks, slay the immortal!

*Sheathe!*

Lin Que sheathed the blade.

The violent aura on his body instantly retracted, and he returned to being that seemingly harmless, elegant Young Master of the world.

He stood up, looked at the messy ruins of the Heavenly Demon Cult, and with a wave of his hand, swept all the underground Spiritual Veins and remaining treasures into his storage ring.

"Let's go, Green Fish."

Lin Que released the luxurious Cloud-Piercing Spirit Boat and stepped onto it first.

"Young Master Lin, where are we going now? Back to Yunmeng City?"

Su Qingyu followed.

"Back to the Central Continent, the Imperial City."

Lin Que walked to the bow and looked south.

It was a vast and boundless land controlled by countless Sects and families.

"The Reapers from the Upper Realm will arrive in three years. I don't have time to reason with those nobodies and slowly consolidate forces."

Lin Que opened his folding fan, his tone calm but carrying a peerless dominance that made heaven and earth tremble:

"Pass my decree as the Demon Venerable to the entire Central Continent."

"Within three days, all first-rate Sect Masters, Old Ancestors of Hidden Families, and remnants of the Daqian Imperial Family..."

"Must all come before the Zhengdao Alliance hall in the Imperial City and kneel to receive the decree!"

"Those who follow me shall be granted a fortune."

"Those who defy me, I shall personally act and play a nine-clan elimination game."

Boom!

The Spirit Boat turned into a sky-breaking rainbow, tearing through the wind and snow, and roared towards the center of power, carrying the true master of the Central Continent!
