135: His fist shattered the blood moon, and his name resounded throughout the Northern Region.

"Arrogance!" The Blood-robed Elder laughed in anger. He had cultivated for over five hundred years and had been in the Half-step Primordial Spirit Realm for over a century; the blood on his hands was enough to form a river. Now, a nineteen-year-old junior actually dared to stand alone before him and say he would use the three of them to test his fists?

"Junior, do you think defeating that trash Great Elder with one punch allows you to contend with us?" Blood light surged in the Blood-robed Elder's eyes. "Today, I will let you know what true despair is!"

He did not act personally but gave a look to the tall and thin Blood Moon Elder behind him: "Xueying, take him down. I want him alive; the Cult Leader needs a complete Soul to refine the Blood God Pill."

"As you command, Elder Xueli." The tall and thin Elder named Xueying stepped forward. He was like a shadow without a physical form, leaving behind trails of afterimages in the air. In an instant, he crossed a distance of a hundred zhang and appeared three feet in front of Lin Fan!

"Blood Shadow Soul-Binding Technique!" Xueying formed hand seals, and countless blood-colored threads shot out from his sleeves, weaving into a large net that covered Lin Fan from above! Each thread contained toxic Soul Power, specifically designed to bind Souls. Once caught, anyone below the Primordial Spirit Realm would instantly have their Soul separated from their body, leaving them at the mercy of others!

Below, Clan Leader gripped the Nine-Star Clan Chief Token, ready to activate the War Puppet Army for rescue at any moment.

But Lin Fan moved.

He did not dodge, nor did he even look at the blood-colored net; he simply raised his hand and threw a punch.

It was still an unremarkable punch.

But this time, everyone saw the abnormality.

The space in front of the fist rippled like the surface of water. Those ripples did not spread outward but collapsed inward, forming a tiny, distorted vortex. At the edge of the vortex, light was swallowed, presenting the gray colors of primordial Chaos.

The moment the blood-colored threads touched the vortex.

Sizzle! Like snow meeting a blazing sun, they silently melted away.

They weren't broken or knocked aside; rather, from their most basic composition, they were decomposed, annihilated, and returned to the most primitive energy particles!

"What?!" Xueying's pupils shrank suddenly.

His Blood Shadow Soul-Binding Technique was one of the seventy-two secret arts of the Dark Moon Divine Cult; even a Cultivator of the same level would be wary of it. Now, it was broken by a single punch without even the slightest delay?

"Interesting." Xueying set aside his contempt and pressed his palms together. "Then try this Raging Sea of Blood!"

Boom! A towering wave of blood emerged out of thin air! It wasn't real blood but a Divine Ability phenomenon manifested by fusing True Essence with the Slaughter Concept. The blood waves rolled, and a fishy wind assailed the nose, within which countless Souls could be vaguely seen wailing, capturing the heart and Soul.

This Move had already touched the edge of Law! A common Peak Divine Power Realm caught in it would lose their sanity within three breaths and be swallowed by the blood waves!

"Faner, be careful!" Clan Leader couldn't help but call out a warning.

Lin Fan, however, closed his eyes.

Not giving up, but perceiving.

In his perception, that towering blood wave was not invincible. Every ripple and every surge of the blood wave followed a certain Law. That was the Law of "Blood" and the Concept of "Slaughter." But Chaos preceded Law.

Fist Intent shifted with his heart.

Lin Fan punched again. This time, the fist technique changed. It was no longer a simple straight punch but followed a profound trajectory, as if tracing Dao runes in the Void Realm. As the fist passed, the spatial ripples became even more intense, and the Chaos vortex expanded to the size of a fist, slowly rotating.

The fist entered the blood wave. There was no earth-shaking collision, only a slight sound, as if a bubble had burst.

Sizzle! Centered on the fist, the blood wave began to melt. It wasn't evaporated or dispersed but was swallowed and decomposed by the Chaos vortex, turning into the purest energy to feed back into Lin Fan himself!

The Eternal Indestructible Body operated automatically, absorbing and refining this energy. Lin Fan's aura actually rose faintly during the battle!

"What kind of Cultivation Technique is this?!" Xueying's expression changed drastically.

He could feel that his Blood Sea Concept, which he had bitterly cultivated for hundreds of years, was being dismantled by a higher-level power! That power seemed to be the nemesis of all methods; all Divine Abilities and Laws were as fragile as paper before it!

"Retreat!" Elder Xueli finally couldn't sit still. He saw that Xueying was no match for Lin Fan at all; if they continued, his Dao Heart might even be damaged!

He took a step forward, his blood robes moving without wind. The pressure of a Half-step Primordial Spirit Realm was fully released, and the entire sky was dyed blood-red!

"Junior, I admit I underestimated you." Xueli's voice was cold. "To be able to achieve this at the Early Stage of the Divine Power Realm, you can be called an eternal genius. Unfortunately, today you must die!"

He no longer held back, his hands grasping at nothing as a blood-colored long saber condensed in his palms.

The saber was seven feet long, entirely blood-red, its body covered in distorted runes. As soon as this saber appeared, the shrill cries of ghosts echoed between heaven and earth, as if billions of Souls were wailing within the blade.

"Blood God Saber" Clan Leader's expression became extremely solemn.

This was one of the guardian divine weapons of the Dark Moon Divine Cult. It was said to be refined with the essence and blood of a hundred thousand living beings; on the day the saber was completed, blood rain fell from the sky, and no grass grew for a hundred miles around. For Xueli to wield this saber, his strength must rank at least in the top ten of the cult!

"It is your honor to die under this saber." Xueli raised the saber and slashed down! There were no fancy Moves, only the purest Slaughter Intent!

The saber light was like a falling blood moon, and wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch! This strike had already surpassed the scope of Divine Ability, touching the spatial power that only those in the Primordial Spirit Realm could master!

Below, everyone in the Lin family felt suffocated. Some clansmen with lower cultivation were even pressed to their knees by the Saber Intent, with blood seeping from their mouths and noses!

Lin Fan looked up, watching the falling blood moon saber light, and a hint of solemnity finally flashed in his eyes.

Half-step Primordial Spirit, wielding a divine weapon, a full-strength strike.

He couldn't block this strike. At least, with his current Early Stage Divine Power Realm cultivation and his barely initiated Chaos Fist Intent, he couldn't block it.

But! Why should he block it?

"star pagoda." Lin Fan A whisper in my heart.

Hum! At the center of his forehead, the phantom of a nine-layered pagoda appeared. The pagoda body rotated, and the first to third layers lit up simultaneously!

First layer ability: Starry Gate.

Second layer ability: Star Shield.

Third layer ability: Star Power Augmentation.

All three layers opened!

A brilliant starlight descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Fan's entire body and turning into a substantial star armor. At the same time, his aura surged, instantly breaking through the Early Stage Divine Power Realm Bottleneck and stepping into the Mid-stage Divine Power Realm!

It wasn't a true Breakthrough, but a temporary boost forced by the star pagoda using Star Power!

"Still not enough." Lin Fan murmured.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist again. This time, the Chaos aura was no longer restrained but exploded completely!

Gray Chaos currents coiled around his fist, and the space around it was no longer just rippling but showed tiny black cracks—a sign that space could not withstand the Fist Intent and was about to shatter!

"This punch is named..." Lin Fan took a step forward, meeting the blood moon saber light.

"Primordial Chaos!" The punch was thrown. Heaven and earth lost their color. There was no sound, no light, only a patch of Chaos. It was as if the world had returned to its original state, with no heaven or earth, no light or darkness, only a void.

The blood moon saber light slashed into the Chaos.

Then, it disappeared. It wasn't shattered or neutralized, but as if it had never existed, it was assimilated and swallowed by the Chaos.

The cruel smile on Xueli's face froze.

He felt that his connection with the Blood God Saber was being severed! That power of Chaos was not only swallowing the saber light but was also tracing the connection between the light and the saber's body, eroding backward!

"Impossible!" Xueli roared, wanting to withdraw the saber and retreat. But it was too late.

The Chaos Fist Intent followed the connection, instantly crossing a hundred zhang and striking the body of the Blood God Saber!

Crack! A tiny crack split open on the saber's body.

"My saber!" Xueli's heart was wracked with pain. The Blood God Saber was linked to his life; if the saber was damaged, the person was injured! And Lin Fan's fist had not yet stopped.

After breaking through the saber light, the Chaos Fist Intent's momentum remained undiminished as it directly attacked Xueli himself!

"Blood Demon True Body!" Xueli roared, and blood light erupted around him, turning into a ten-zhang-tall blood-colored demon shadow. The demon shadow had three heads and six arms, each hand holding a bloody weapon; it was the embryonic form of his Primordial Spirit Dharma Image!

The Fist Intent struck the chest of the demon shadow.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

Then, rip! Like cloth being torn. A huge hole was violently blasted through the chest of the blood-colored demon shadow! Chaos currents coiled around the edge of the hole, continuously eroding and expanding it!

"Ah!" Xueli screamed as he was sent flying backward, the demon shadow dissipated, and his true body appeared with a transparent hole in his chest, blood spraying wildly!

Half-step Primordial Spirit, heavily injured!

The entire field was dead silent.

Whether it was the Lin family members or the other two Blood Moon Elders, they all stood frozen on the spot.

One punch to heavily injure a Half-step Primordial Spirit?

What kind of Prodigy is this?!

"Elder!" Xueying and another short, fat Elder hurriedly supported Xueli.

Xueli's face was pale, and he stared fixedly at Lin Fan, his eyes full of fear and resentment: "What kind of fist technique is this?!"

Lin Fan slowly withdrew his fist, the Chaos aura around him gradually receding, and the star armor also slowly dissipated. Forcing the activation of three layers of the star pagoda and performing the complete version of the Chaos Fist Intent was a great burden on him. At this moment, the True Essence in his body was less than ten percent, and his Meridians throbbed with pain.

But he stood very steadily.

"This punch has no name." Lin Fan Calm Road, "But after today, it can be called 'Chaos'."

"Chaos..." Xueli murmured, suddenly coughing up a mouthful of black blood. "What a Chaos Fist Intent! Lin Fan, the Dark Moon Divine Cult will remember today's humiliation! We will surely repay it a hundredfold in the future!"

"Want to leave?" Clan Leader snorted coldly and urged the War Puppet Army to close in.

Three hundred war puppets formed a formation, sealing off the space in all directions.

Xueli, however, began to sneer: "Clan Leader, do you really think only the three of us from my cult came here?"

He crushed a blood-colored jade talisman.

Hum! Above the Altar, a massive blood-colored portal slowly opened! On the other side of the portal, the sea of blood churned, and countless hideous demon shadows flickered. A terrifying aura came through the portal, making everyone's Soul tremble!

"The Cult Leader has opened the 'Blood Sea Passage'." Xueli said sinisterly. "If you dare to stop us, we will leave no one alive in the Lin family today!"

Clan Leader's face turned ashen. The aura behind that portal had at least three signatures no weaker than Xueli, or even stronger! The Dark Moon Divine Cult had actually mobilized in such force!

"Father." Lin Fan suddenly spoke. "Let them go."

Clan Leader looked at his son.

"It's not hard to kill the three of them today, but if it triggers a full-scale war, the Lin family's losses would be too great." Lin Fan analyzed calmly. "Besides, my Fist Intent still needs to be perfected. Keeping them will provide better whetstones for the future."

These words were spoken plainly, but they made the three of them, including Xueli, so angry they almost spat blood.

Whetstones? They, the dignified Blood Moon Elders of the Dark Moon Divine Cult, had actually become whetstones for this junior?!

"Good! What a whetstone!" Xueli Gritting teeth, "Lin Fan, today's grudge is irreconcilable! Let's go!"

The three turned into blood light and rushed into the portal.

The blood-colored portal slowly closed and disappeared.

The sky returned to clarity.

Lin Fan's body swayed, and he fell from the sky. Clan Leader hurried to support him.

"Faner, how are you?"

"It's fine, just over-exhausted." Lin Fan Shaking head, "I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

He looked down at the tens of thousands of clansmen.

Everyone was looking at him, their eyes filled with shock, awe, and fanaticism.

In today's battle, with his Early Stage Divine Power Realm cultivation, Lin Fan defeated Great Elder with one punch and then heavily injured a Half-step Primordial Spirit with another! Such a record, let alone in the Lin family, was unique even in the entire Northern Region and the Great Xia Dynasty!

The name of Divine Son was well-deserved!

"From today on." Clan Leader announced loudly, his voice spreading throughout the Ancestral Land, "Lin Fan is the Young Clan Leader of my Lin family! Seeing him is like seeing me! The resources of the clan are at his disposal! The clan's Cultivation Techniques are his to read! Anyone who dares to disobey will be treated as a traitor!"

"Greetings, Young Clan Leader!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, their voices shaking the clouds.

Lin Fan stood on the Altar, looking at the kneeling clansmen and the sprawling mountains and rivers in the distance.

He knew that after today, his path would be even broader.

The Dark Moon Divine Cult would not let things rest, the threat from The Third Prince remained, and the Six Realms Prodigy path was about to open... but none of this could stop his footsteps.

Because his fist could shatter the blood moon and open the Chaos.

Because his Dao was at a higher place.

["System."] He muttered in his heart.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the hidden achievement 'A Battle that Shocks the World'; reputation has increased significantly.]

[Reward: Cultivation Infusion—Promotion to the Mid-stage Divine Power Realm (True Breakthrough)!]

[Reward: One special sign-in opportunity (can be used at any location, reward quality increased by 50%)!]

[Reward: Technique Completion—Clue for the third Move of the "Indestructible Divine King Fist," "Opening the Heavens"!]

Lin Fan's mouth rose slightly.

Mid-stage Divine Power Realm, a true Breakthrough.

Chaos Fist Intent, showing its sharpness for the first time.

Next stop, it's time to meet those so-called Six Realms Prodigies.

But before that... he looked towards the east, the direction of the Great Xia Imperial City.

The Third Prince, the Dark Moon Divine Cult, and those hidden hands in the shadows.

It's time to make an end of it.
