Meanwhile, in the Cloud Hong Continent of the Western Region, on a floating island.

“Master, you can rest peacefully. I, Su Mo, will reclaim all that is rightfully ours for you and our clan!”

The autumn wind was bleak, and wisps of cold wind blew past.

A youth wearing a red Daoist robe was kneeling in front of a row of tombstones, kowtowing and swearing an oath.

Just three days ago, a mystical portal appeared. The Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan leader, Li Jianting, had successfully snatched the cultivation treasures obtained by the disciples of the Crimson Heart Clan.

Su Mo’s master, the leader of the Crimson Heart Clan, was furious. He raised his sword and stepped forward, only to be brutally murdered by Li Jianting. Li Jianting had been concealing his true strength in the name of the righteous clan.

The remaining disciples of the Crimson Heart Clan could not escape the encirclement of the righteous Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan either. The disciples of the mystic land perished.

“These sanctimonious hypocrites used such pitiful tricks. They even claimed that they were a righteous clan. Bah! How disgusting. My brothers and sisters, believe me, one day, I will personally take the head of that old man, Li Jianting. By doing this, I will comfort the souls of the dead in the nether world.”

Su Mo gritted his teeth as he looked at the tombstones in front of him.

‘I am the only one left in the vast Crimson Heart Village now. The once-bustling village is now completely silent. Only rows of lifeless tombstones are left to accompany me.’

“No! I must not be sentimental! The Crimson Heart Clan lives on within me! As long as I, Su Mo, am still standing, the Crimson Heart Clan will not be destroyed!”

After leaving the graveyard at the back of the mountain, Su Mo returned to the main hall of the village alone.

When Su Mo looked at the empty buildings, beautiful scenes from the past appeared before him one after another. He could not help but mutter, “A year ago, I transmigrated here and became Master’s disciple. Master had high hopes for me. He showed me all kinds of cultivation methods and secret manuals of the clan without restrictions. Many of my brothers and sisters were envious.”

Standing in the tall building of the Demon Clan, Su Mo’s figure seemed tiny.

At this moment, Su Mo did not have any credible reputation or power to rely on to deal with the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan, which ruled over an area on the floating island.

Although other major forces knew of the destruction of the Crimson Heart Clan, they solemnly watched as they had no intentions of offending the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan.

Su Mo thought about his plans carefully and came to an understanding. 

One had to know that the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan was an ancient and powerful force on the floating island. There were several Golden Core Realm cultivators in the clan.

The clan leader, Li Jianting, was a super cultivator in the tenth stage of the Golden Core Realm. Li Jianting had a significant influence on the entire floating island.

There were multiple realms of cultivation. They were the Qi Refinement Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm, Meridian Formation Realm, Golden Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, Soul Formation Realm, Virtual Entity Realm, Immortal Soul Realm, Tribulation Realm, and Mahayana Realm.

It was said that there was a Realm above the Mahayana Realm. It was known as the Supreme Immortals Realm. Countless cultivators tried to achieve this Realm of cultivation for thousands of years, but most of these cultivators inevitably turned into a pile of dirt.

Each of the above major realms had ten minor stages within them. Su Mo was currently in stage six of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The Foundation Establishment Realm was not considered weak by any clan. However, it was laughable and extravagant for Su Mo to hope to visit and destroy the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan, which held a stage ten Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Revenge was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Su Mo needed to weigh his options and plan his attack carefully. After all, he still had to be wary of the other powerful cultivators of the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan.

The Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan also held several Golden Core Realm cultivators, more than ten Meridian Formation Realm cultivators, at least one hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and more than one thousand Aura Refining Realm cultivators.

Such a luxurious group was enough to deter any Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Although Su Mo’s master was also a Golden Core Realm cultivator, he was still lacking in the foundation of his mantras.

Su Mo’s priorities were to plan his revenge and become stronger. However, multitasking was difficult.

‘Cerulean Sea Blade Clan…’

Every time Su Mo thought about the crisis that he was about to face, his mind would start to run wild.

‘Although I have become the leader of the Crimson Heart Clan, the opponents that I am going to face are steadily getting stronger.’ 

Su Mo took out a black-gold token with dense inscriptions from his storage belt with this thought in mind.

This was his master’s token—the token of the Crimson Heart Clan. Countless disciples of the demonic path yearned for this token.

After the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan eradicated the weaker clans in the mystic realm, they sent many people to encircle and annihilate the Crimson Heart Clan.

Under the leadership of Li Jianting, the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan used the excuse of exterminating evil and upholding justice to snatch the cultivation treasures of the mystic realm.

Every time Su Mo thought of this, he would laugh sarcastically.

Although the Crimson Heart Clan was a clan of the demonic path, striking terror into the hearts of countless people over the years, it was still a force that had been around for a hundred years.

But how could it compare to the ancient powerhouse, the Cerulean Ocean Blade Clan?

When the smoke cleared, It was announced to the people that the once arrogant Crimson Heart Clan master had fallen. All major and minor forces came to investigate the aftermath at the Crimson Heart Village.

Soon, all the secret manuals and demonic magical equipment in the Crimson Heart Village were plundered by those who came to investigate.

Other than the buildings that could not be moved, other valuable items were also taken. Those who came to investigate did not even hesitate to take the plaque at the Crimson Heart Village entrance, made of dark spirit wood.

These people were exceedingly greedy.

“These people are beasts that bully the weak and fear the mighty!” A trace of undeniable killing intent flashed through Su Mo’s eyes, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. Su Mo’s entire temperament returned to normal in a flash, and he became calm again.

Although Su Mo was eager to take revenge, he still had tremendous self-control.

‘If I went up to the Cerulean Ocean Blade Village to demand an explanation, perhaps I would be pierced into a hornet’s nest by a flying spear in a split second.’

‘But if I were to use a roundabout way and take the path of backstabbing, I probably wouldn’t be able to fight against the arrogant Li Jianting, who has lived for sixty-two years.’

‘Li Jainting is a peak Golden Core Realm cultivator. He can kill me a hundred times over with just a thought! It seems that my only option is to run away, now that I think about it!’

As soon as the thought of running away arose, Su Mo shook his head to regain his thoughts. Su Mo was not the kind of person who was afraid of death!

“Oh, Crimson Heart Clan, how should I avenge you?” Su Mo muttered to himself as he frowned. However, the only response he got was endless silence.

At this moment, an indisputable ray of light emerged from Su Mo’s black-gold token. The light was cold and mysterious. It disappeared without a trace in just an instant.

Suddenly, as Su Mo was lost in his sea of thoughts, a sound echoed.

Ding!

“The Invincible Demon Clan System has been activated. It is attempting to bind with its Master’s soul.”

“Huh? The Invincible Demon Clan System?” Su Mo said as he frowned.

Su Mo never expected to activate the system in such a situation. The sound of the notification was like rain falling from the sky, calming one’s heart.

“The Invincible Demon Clan System is an exclusive auxiliary device dedicated to helping the Master of the clan to dominate the world! No one in the entire universe is a match for the system! Master, please feel free to use it!”

‘Dominate the world?’ Su Mo smiled at the sound of this. He finally had some hope of avenging his entire clan. However, Su Mo still had to study the specific effects of this system carefully.

Ding!

“Master has activated this system for the first time! Congratulations! You have obtained the Crimson Heart Clan’s array of cultivation methods! Would you like to unlock its rewards?”

“Is there really such a thing? The array of cultivation methods is rare!”

Su Mo’s eyes lit up.. Without any hesitation, he replied, “Unlock!”
