"No! Its not like that!" Gu Ran exclaimed.
"The true powerhouse is a woman. She halted the demonic invasion by exterminating the Peak-stage Dao Palace realm demon.
"You are after my bloodline, acting purely out of selfishness. Youre no less than a devil! In fact," his voice rising with bitterness, "you're even more demonic than the demon race itself!" With fierce resentment, Gu Ran roared, eyes bloodshot and veins prominent on his forehead.
The depth of his loathing for Jiang Chenling was palpable, as if he wished to torment him over and over again.
A sharp retort came, "Stop your nonsense!
"You, of all people, should not insult our Holy Son!"
"Our Holy Son took down the Transcendent realm powerhouse from the demon race, Long Tianlu, who invaded the Everflowing Truth Central Domain. And in the Black Wood Island region, E Tianjiu, another of their kind from the Peak-stage Dao Palace realm, met the same fate."
"All you've done is think of ambushing fellow cultivators and taking lives for power."
"Ever since you set foot on the inheritance peak, you've been relentless in your attacks on us."
"With such devious tactics, you have the audacity to slander our Purple Heaven Holy Land's Holy Son? The sheer nerve!"
Elders from the Purple Heaven Holy Land continued, one after another, each voice more contemptuous, showering disdain upon Gu Ran.
Voices erupted in disbelief upon hearing the revelation.
"What?!"
"How is that possible?!"
"So the mighty figure is actually the Holy Son of Purple Heaven Holy Land? Incredible!"
"It's one thing to face off against a Transcendent realm powerhouse, but to defeat him? That's something else entirely!"
"I've heard that the Transcendent realm great powerhouse from the demon race had fallen to the Dao Palace realm. But to think he was defeated and beheaded? It's beyond my wildest imagination."
The cultivators from Golden Proud Cult were visibly stunned.
While they had caught wind of the events in the Everflowing Truth Central Domain, the details remained elusive. Only now did the full picture emerge.
The young talent in front of them, the one who vanquished the leader of the demon race and thwarted their initial onslaught, was none other than the Holy Son of the Purple Heaven Holy Land!
Gu Ran's voice quivered with disbelief. "No! This can't be true!"
"You? The Holy Son of the Purple Heaven Holy Land?"
"And you defeated a Transcendence realm demon?"
"It's all lies! You're the head of the Heavenly Gu Society. You've been coveting the power of my bloodline from the start!" Gu Ran glared at Jiang Chen, eyes blazing with fury. He roared, the veins on his neck standing out, his demeanor unhinged.
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. "Heavenly Gu Society?" He smirked. "Thats just a trick to fool children."
'It's finally over,' Jiang Chen thought, a contented smile forming on his face.
Throughout his confrontations with Gu Ran, he had treaded carefully, wary of the mighty backlash of the Heavenly Fate. Pushing too hard might invoke dire consequences he couldn't rectify.
But with Gu Ran's demise, the looming threat of Heavenly Fate's retribution was, for now, at bay, at least until the next protagonist appeared.
Suddenly, from the very spot where Gu Ran met his fate, a radiant red light emerged. This luminance swiftly turned into a beam that shot directly into Jiang Chen's forehead, seamlessly merging with him.
[Ding! 'Endless Dark Blood Moon', a Heaven-Defying Fate Changer, has been acquired. Would you like to use it?]
Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Chen willed the system panel to appear. Floating in its midst was a shimmering droplet of dark red bloodthe Bloodline Power of the Endless Dark Blood Moon.
'It's the fifth Heaven-Defying Fate Changer!' Elated, Jiang Chen thought, 'System, use it now!'
[Ding! Initiating fusion with the Endless Dark Blood Moon!]
As the system notification sounded, Jiang Chen sensed an intense transformation coursing through every cell of his being. Even his very soul was not left untouched, undergoing a deep, fundamental change.
Moments later, another system prompt echoed.
[Ding! Fusion with the Endless Dark Blood Moon complete!]
[Ding! Your new Heaven-Defying Fate Changer is of the bloodline type. It's harmonious with the Eternal Boundless Body and has been seamlessly integrated. It merged with the Death Calamity True Dragon bloodline, extracting its essence and discarding any impurities!]
Thanks to the system's precision, the merging of the bloodlines was executed to perfection, without a hitch.
Jiang Chen marveled at the profound energy now surging within him. 'Such unparalleled, mystical power!' He'd never felt so empowered.
Now, he had the unique ability to kill and absorb the cultivation bases of others. And when combined with the Wordless Heavenly Jade, each kill yielded even more significant benefits. He could simultaneously enhance his cultivation methods and cultivation base with every life taken!
As he processed this, further insights emerged in his Sea of Consciousness.
