634: Chapter 637 Innate Void Bloodline
After weighing everything once more,
Lu Chen made his choice.
"I need to continue using it for now."
His Ultimate Domain silently expanded,
swallowing space, fate, and aura.
The world completely lost all perception of his existence.
Then,
he moved.
Lu Chen flew forward,
faster and faster, until distance lost its meaning.
Stars blurred into lines, and space folded like thin paper.
Soon, the boundary of the real world appeared ahead.
The Barrier.
It appeared as it always had...
vast, translucent, and covered in countless layers of Laws and Authorities.
Lu Chen stopped before it.
Just then,
a familiar voice rang out.
【Ding! Do you wish to use your Authority to pass through the Barrier?】
Lu Chen didn't even listen.
He was already tired of it.
He reached back and drew the boundless sword of the void sea.
The blade hummed with excitement.
Lu Chen raised it casually.
"Slash."
He swung the sword once.
No Move, no charging power, no flashy lights.
The sword simply slashed forward.
The Barrier instantly split open.
A clean rift appeared,
as if reality itself had been scratched.
Laws were torn apart, and Authority Seals shattered like glass.
Lu Chen watched for half a second and smiled.
"Hahaha."
"I, the Protagonist Sovereign, Lu Chen, am about to begin the hunt."
"Are you all ready?"
But no one responded to him.
He was merely talking to himself.
He stepped forward,
entering a new reality.
The moment he crossed over, a heavy pressure slammed down on him.
This world was rejecting him; the Laws let out a piercing protest.
Immediately, the voice of Will rang out.
【Ding! You have entered the Reality Plane of another Candidate.】
【You must challenge the local Candidate within 5 days.】
【Failure will expose your position to him.】
Lu Chen finally became serious.
"So the invader is actively exposed?"
he said calmly.
But he didn't care in the slightest.
He intended to visit a hundred million Reality Planes.
Even if he spent one day in each world, it would take a hundred million days.
Too slow.
Too stupid.
"I don't have time for this nonsense,"
he whispered.
"I'm going to kill every protagonist I can find within a single day."
Lu Chen closed his eyes.
His Spiritual Domain began to spread.
His Divine Soul was already at the Creation Realm.
It could easily envelop an entire Reality Plane.
The Spiritual Domain spread out like an invisible ocean, covering the entire reality:
continents, oceans, cities, Vicious Beasts, Cultivators, stars...
Everything was brought within his perception.
He was searching for the protagonist.
He didn't have to wait long to find him.
He saw an abnormal life form.
A man.
On a planet soaked in blood.
That man slaughtered people like chickens.
With every step he took, life was extinguished;
with every movement, myriad spirits were erased.
His expression was cold and hollow,
bordering on boredom.
But what truly attracted Lu Chen
wasn't the slaughter,
but the growth.
For every person the other party killed, his power surged by a fraction.
With every scream of the myriad spirits, the aura on his body climbed a step higher.
And his Realm was the same as Lu Chen's:
the Void Emperor Realm.
Yet his combat strength had long since crushed the ancestor realm.
He was currently knocking on the door of the Innate Origin Realm.
Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Oh?"
he whispered, "This is somewhat interesting."
He observed closely.
A wisp of grey-red mist surged into that man's body.
Destruction.
Pure destruction.
It should be a type of Bloodline that feeds on destruction.
"How did he do it?"
Lu Chen wondered.
"Does he also have a System?"
Then, he slowly began to laugh.
"No... this feeling is even more unreasonable than a System."
Lu Chen disappeared.
Immediately after,
he appeared within the folded space above the broken planet.
Screams echoed incessantly below.
The air was filled with a thick scent of blood.
Lu Chen looked down and couldn't help but sigh.
"What a messy world."
His body shook slightly,
and his aura vanished.
In the next moment,
he transformed into what looked like a pitiful, withered old man:
hunched back, wrinkled, weak aura, and tattered clothes.
He slowly descended,
landing among the terrified survivors.
No one noticed him.
Everyone was too busy dying.
Lu Chen's gaze was calm.
His goal was simple:
to confirm whether this person was a protagonist.
He didn't wait long.
The voice of Will rang out.
【Ding! Two Candidates for the Throne of Fate Supreme are within 1 kilometer of each other.】
【A duel must commence.】
The voice resounded across the battlefield.
Both Candidates heard it.
The young man paused.
He whipped his head around.
"Another Candidate?"
he muttered, "Here?"
His gaze swept over the surroundings.
"He used an Authority to break into my reality?"
Then,
the corners of his mouth curled up,
revealing a malicious smile.
"It doesn't matter."
His aura erupted violently.
Grey smoke, like that from burning corpses, rolled out from his body.
"My Innate Void Cinder Bloodline feeds on Chaos and destruction,"
he said coldly.
"The more I kill, the stronger I become."
He looked at the humans before him.
They were kneeling,
pleading,
and crying out.
Lu Chen leaned on his cane,
standing quietly in the crowd.
The young man snapped his fingers.
Everyone instantly turned to ashes.
No blood.
No screams.
Only death.
A small surge of Chaos flowed into his body.
His aura climbed once again.
He inhaled slowly, enjoying the sensation.
"Come out,"
he said calmly.
"Let me see if you're worth me taking action personally."
He waited quietly,
completely unaware.
Without any warning,
at this moment,
a predator far more terrifying than him was watching him.
The body of the old man Lu Chen had disguised himself as trembled slightly.
A laugh escaped his lips.
"Hahaha..."
"So you rely on Chaos to become stronger,"
Lu Chen thought.
"Very good."
This Bloodline was worth seizing, worth Fusion.
He straightened his back.
His bones crackled and popped.
His wrinkles faded away.
The disguise peeled off like dead skin.
His true form was revealed.
The air became heavy.
The young man suddenly felt it.
A chill crawled up his spine.
Instinct was screaming:
Danger.
He turned to look at the newcomer.
Their gazes collided.
For the first time,
uncertainty appeared on his face.
Lu Chen smiled—
the smile of a predator.
"Well then,"
Lu Chen said calmly,
"you must be the little protagonist of this Reality Plane."
The young man narrowed his eyes.
"Who are you?"
Lu Chen looked at him calmly.
"Don't worry."
The boundless sword of the void sea appeared in his hand.
"You'll find out very soon."
He took a step forward, and the ground cracked.
"I originally intended to collect Bloodlines,"
Lu Chen continued casually,
"and you happen to be carrying a very delicious one."
The young man's cinder aura surged violently.
"You think you can take me down?"
He sneered, "I'm getting stronger every second; the world itself is feeding me."
Lu Chen nodded.
"I know."
His smile widened.
"That's why I'm excited."
"Let me see just how loud you can scream."
Slash!
He didn't necessarily need to use the sword,
but he used it anyway.
Before the body of the Innate Void Cinder Bloodline Candidate could even turn to ash,
Lu Chen was already standing upon the remains.
The young man, who moments ago was the God of Destruction in this Reality Plane,
was now a broken husk.
