Chapter 287: The Hand of the Blood Demon Emperor

The old crone Yue Xuan of the Moon Palace Sect changed expression drastically, her body swaying in the wind. The token, illuminated by the blazing sun, emitted an unusual divine light.

The Holy Sect's Peak Master Token.

Although the Moon Palace Sect was isolated from the world, the old crone Yue Xuan was very familiar with the Holy Sect's Peak Master Token.

Having heard the disciples' conversations earlier, she had only thought this person was the Holy Sect's strongest prodigy. But now, upon hearing what he just said, she was so shocked she could no longer remain calm.

A Holy Sect Peak Master, one of the Supreme Elders, and also the sixth Sect Master of the Holy Demon Sect, with status equal to the Sect Master. Though she didn't know exactly what kind of sect the Holy Demon Sect was, it was certainly no ordinary one.

The old crone Yue Xuan's gaze toward Lin Fan had previously been one of admiration and respect, but now it was one of reverence.

If all this were true, then this person's status far exceeded her own.

The Holy Sect was one of the great sects of the Eastern Spirit Continent, not comparable to the Moon Palace Sect.

The female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect, though they didn't fully understand what Lin Fan meant, felt that it sounded very high-end.

The disciples of the Nine Firmaments Sect were all stunned at this moment. They hadn't expected Senior Brother Lin to have such an identity.

Holy Sect Peak Master? One of the Supreme Elders? Founding his own faction, the sixth Sect Master... Any one of these titles could crush a person alive.

"You..." At this moment, Li Yuanqi was utterly enraged. His red-tinged eyes were filled with disbelief. That this person could be a Supreme Elder of the Holy Sect? Ridiculous beyond belief, yet the token was unmistakably real.

Lin Fan lightly flicked his sleeve, unwilling to say more. Then he spoke sternly, "You are a disciple of the Nine Firmaments Sect. By rights, I should not interfere in your affairs. But the current actions of the Nine Firmaments Sect Master are truly disheartening. Today, I will execute you on behalf of heaven, to seek justice for those billions of souls. Make your move; don't say I didn't give you a chance."

"Bastard, sharp-tongued and sharp-toothed. Today, I'll see what you're capable of." Li Yuanqi was nearly mad with rage. He raised his hands to the sky, and the blood sea that blotted out the sun churned violently, descending from the heavens as if to devour the Moon Palace Sect entirely.

"Not good! This is the old demon's Heaven-Devouring Blood Realm; it cannot be underestimated!" At this moment, the old crone Yue Xuan's face changed, and she cried out involuntarily.

Li Yuanqi's cultivation was formidable; he had condensed twelve rule chains, making him terrifyingly powerful, a domineering presence even on the Eastern Spirit Continent.

Now, this Peak Master Lin Fan, though extraordinary, appeared utterly ordinary, with no trace of any rule chains.

"Hmph, old crone Yue Xuan, do you think this man can save your Moon Palace Sect? How laughable! My Heaven-Devouring Blood Realm has devoured ten cities and billions of wronged souls; it has long reached perfection. Even if the Holy Sect Master came, he would have to go all out to break my Heaven-Devouring Blood Realm. What ability do you think this unknown brat has?" Li Yuanqi snorted angrily.

He had been active for a long time and had never seen such a reckless fool who dared to act presumptuously before him.

If he didn't crush him today, there would be no law or order.

At this moment, the female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect watched in terror as the blood sea descended from all directions. The stench of blood made them feel nauseous.

Within the blood sea, wronged souls danced and roared ferociously, as if demanding their lives.

"Hmph, a mere trifle." At this moment, Lin Fan gazed at the towering blood sea in the void and snorted disdainfully.

"Haha, a mere trifle? You arrogant fool! My Heaven-Devouring Blood Realm can devour all things. Soon, I'll make you suffer eternal torment in this blood sea, unable to die even if you wish." Li Yuanqi's tone was sinister, like a demon from the abyss.

His words made everyone tremble with fear.

The disciples of the Nine Firmaments Sect were also terrified. They had witnessed Li Yuanqi's power and hoped Senior Brother Lin could prevail, but in their eyes, it seemed very difficult.

"Peak... Peak Master Lin, this Heaven-Devouring Blood Realm cannot be underestimated." The old crone Yue Xuan didn't know how to address Lin Fan, finally settling on Peak Master. "Sisters, even if we exhaust our last breath, we four must assist Peak Master Lin in destroying this demon."

"Mm." The three elders of the Moon Palace Sect nodded, their eyes showing determination.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and flicked his sleeve. "No need. If I can't even break such a trifle, how could I be worthy of being a Peak Master?"

"Peak Master Lin..." The old crone Yue Xuan was about to say something, but in an instant, she stared in disbelief at the scene before her.

"Suppress..." Lin Fan moved his lips slightly and raised his right hand.

Instantly, a tremendous aura appeared, as if it could suppress heaven and earth. A phantom of a giant hand, thousands of feet tall, like the palm of the Tathagata, crushed through layers of void and soared into the sky.

"How is this possible..." The old crone Yue Xuan was dumbfounded. In her eyes, this palm strike was utterly terrifying.

The female disciples of the Moon Palace Sect stood frozen, staring at the radiant palm, completely stunned.

"Heretical and evil things, be destroyed!"

"Boom..."

That giant palm shot into the sky, directly grasping the vast blood sea within its hand. In an instant, the five fingers closed.

"How is this possible..." Seeing this, Li Yuanqi's狰狞 face showed disbelief.

"Bang..."

In an instant, the towering blood sea was crushed by that single palm.

The blood sea that had blotted out the sun vanished without a trace, and the world returned to clarity.

"Hmph." Lin Fan flicked his sleeve and snorted. "Li Yuanqi, what other tricks do you have? Show them all."

Lin Fan's contemptuous words reached Li Yuanqi's ears. Li Yuanqi's face turned pale, and a seed inside him shattered instantly. He couldn't believe that his painstakingly cultivated Heaven-Devouring Blood Realm had been crushed by a single palm, leaving not even a trace.

"Ah..." At this moment, Li Yuanqi roared to the sky. "Bastard! You destroyed my Heaven-Devouring Blood Realm! I'll kill you!"

"Boom, boom..."

At this moment, heaven and earth changed. The enraged Li Yuanqi erupted with overwhelming aura. The veins on his face bulged as if they might burst at any moment.

Lin Fan frowned slightly. He sensed a very strange aura emanating from Li Yuanqi.

"Bastard! Today, I'll show you what true terror is!" Li Yuanqi's body churned with blood energy. He slapped the void, and a blood-red stone gate suddenly appeared in the air.

That blood-red stone gate was thousands of feet tall. On its closed surface, countless terrifying souls howled and struggled.

"What is this thing?" Lin Fan was puzzled. He had never seen such a thing before.

The old crone Yue Xuan's expression also turned grave. The evil aura emanating from that blood gate was unbearable.

"Hmph, bastard! You are the first to force me to use the Blood Gate. Today, you will die!" Li Yuanqi roared madly.

"Sacrifice..."

In an instant, Li Yuanqi bellowed, and from the depths of the void, twelve iron chains flew out—the rule chains he had condensed.

"Blood Rule, sacrifice."

"Kill Rule, sacrifice."

...

In that brief moment, Li Yuanqi frantically sacrificed four rule chains. Instantly, having lost four rule chains, his cultivation plummeted, leaving him weak and exhausted.

"Blood Demon Emperor, suppress the ages!" Li Yuanqi roared.

"Boom..."

At this moment, the thousand-foot blood gate suddenly swung open. Heaven and earth shook. A terrifying aura emanated from the blood gate, as if something dreadful was about to emerge.

The old crone Yue Xuan kept retreating. That powerful aura was too terrifying.

In an instant, the blood gate opened wide. From within the stone gate, a terrifying blood-red giant hand slowly extended.

The five fingers of that giant hand were thick and massive, each like a mountain peak.

"Sacrificing four rule chains only allows me to summon one arm of the Blood Demon Emperor, but that is enough to kill you." Li Yuanqi floated in the void, panting heavily. He hadn't expected this bastard to push him to such an extent.

At this moment, everyone was utterly stunned.

The blood-red giant hand slowly emerging from the blood gate seemed to blot out the sky. Its five fingers spread wide, reaching toward the Moon Palace Sect.

The terrifying blood-red giant hand had bulging muscles, creating a strong visual impact.

Lin Fan floated expressionlessly in the void, staring directly at the descending blood-red giant hand.

The blood-red giant hand pressed down, causing layers of void to collapse.

Compared to this blood-red giant hand, Lin Fan and the others were as insignificant as ants, so tiny...
