Chapter 365: Unmatched Battle Intent

"This guy..." When Lin Fan emerged from the secret chamber, the Ancient Demon Domain was already unrecognizable, no longer the same as when he had entered.

The murky aura had long dissipated; the shattered houses had completely turned to ashes; the earth was cracked, as if forcibly torn apart.

The forbidden land, the Ancient Demon Domain, was utterly gone.

"Roar..."

A roar filled with infinite fury resounded through heaven and earth, shaking the world.

"What the hell is this?" Lin Fan stood atop a pile of ruins, gazing intently at the colossal figure in the distance, as massive as a mountain peak.

On its head grew curved purple horns; its skin was covered in scales, each scale like a small hill, pitch-black and sharp.

Its thick arms, like pillars supporting the sky, were wrapped in dense mysterious runes, and a giant iron chain dragged on the ground, making it look like a demon crawling out of hell.

But what slightly disgusted Lin Fan was:

Under the bright sky, in broad daylight, it stood naked between heaven and earth—how terrible an influence that was!

"Strange, there are no chains of rules."

Lin Fan checked with the system but couldn't detect any chains of rules on this guy. Could it be just a facade?

Yet the aura made Lin Fan hesitate.

Blood stained the azure sky; battle intent was unmatched; an emperor's aura permeated heaven and earth, oppressing the heart unbearably.

"Could it all be real? The Ancient Demon Domain is truly where an ancient great demon fell. Could this be that so-called ancient great demon?" Lin Fan was uncertain and didn't act rashly.

"I, Demon Emperor Tian, swear to fight again through the ages!" A roar swept across heaven and earth, boundless battle intent chilling everyone to the bone.

Even Lin Fan, standing far away, felt his robe billow and flutter.

Demon Emperor Tian's purple eyes blazed with boundless fury. With one step, he crossed a thousand zhang.

In his eyes, Lin Fan was like an ant, drawing no attention at all.

"Though I don't know what you are, I won't let you leave so easily before me," Lin Fan muttered, lowering his head in thought. Then, seeing Demon Emperor Tian move forward, he followed behind.

...

"Run! It's terrifying!"

"Is this the ancient great demon? Just its body alone makes one lose all will to resist."

"Wasn't the ancient great demon dead? How could it revive? Unbelievable! The world has changed!"

At that moment, Lin Fan saw the sect disciples who had entered the training ground earlier rushing toward him.

"Tell me, who is this guy?" Lin Fan appeared before a person like a ghost, startling him. But when he saw it was a human, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Run for your life! This is an ancient great demon, invincible!" The sect disciple Lin Fan stopped seemed greatly frightened, screaming hysterically. Then he broke free from Lin Fan's grip and fled into the distance with his sect.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Lin Fan's mind—or rather, the heavens spoke.

"The ancient great demon of the Ancient Demon Domain has revived. The Eastern Spirit Continent must unite to resist, or all living beings will suffer."

...

Lin Fan looked up at the sky, stunned. What the hell was going on?

The heavens actually spoke.

In that moment of Lin Fan's confusion,

All sects on the Eastern Spirit Continent heard this shocking message.

The Sacred Sect.

"This is the voice of the Heavenly Dao. The ancient great demon of the Ancient Demon Domain has revived—how is that possible?"

"Gather all disciples at the Great Heavenly Realm within the sect and set out with me."

Upon hearing this voice, Sect Master Yan immediately gave orders. This was a major event for the Eastern Spirit Continent, far from ordinary.

Though he had never seen the ancient great demon's power, sect records described it as extraordinary.

The Heaven-Sealing Sect.

The Profound Sun Gate.

The Supreme One Sect.

The Nine Heavens Pavilion.

...

All the major sects of the Eastern Spirit Continent began to mobilize at that moment.

All major sects had an agreement: when the Eastern Spirit Continent faced a crisis, all disputes must be set aside. Moreover, this was the first time they had heard the voice of the Heavenly Dao, and they had to obey.

For the major sects, only those at the Great Heavenly Realm were qualified to participate in this battle; other disciples would only be cannon fodder.

...

Now Lin Fan looked at the giant. "Demon Emperor Tian—quite a domineering name. And an ancient great demon. Looks like I have no choice but to fight."

Lin Fan followed all the way, trying to figure out the situation of this ancient great demon.

During this time, Lin Fan gained some understanding.

This ancient great demon was incredibly powerful, far beyond comparison with the Blood Demon Emperor.

Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass grew; rivers were severed, mountains flattened. Even powerful fierce beasts, under its狂暴 pressure, instantly turned to dust.

Somewhere on the Eastern Spirit Continent.

The calm void suddenly rippled, and two figures emerged from it.

He Yuhan's face was grim. She had made a grave mistake: obtaining the Demon God's blood essence had awakened the ancient great demon.

All of this was a trap set by the ancient great demon.

But now it was too late to say anything; even she was powerless.

"Alas, in the past, I could have suppressed it, but now it's too late." He Yuhan looked up at the void and sighed. Then she glanced at the still-unconscious Xia Youtian, a flicker of determination in her eyes.

At least there was still a glimmer of hope.

...

At that moment, Xia Youtian woke up.

"Yuhan, where am I?" Xia Youtian's mind was foggy, as if he couldn't remember some things clearly.

"It's okay, Brother Xia. Can you feel the power of the bloodline within you?" He Yuhan asked with a smile.

Xia Youtian looked at He Yuhan, then slowly sensed the changes in his body.

"Yuhan, I feel a strange power inside..." Xia Youtian said.

He Yuhan smiled upon hearing this, placing a hand on Xia Youtian's shoulder. "Of course, this is..."

In that instant, He Yuhan's smiling face suddenly changed. She clenched her fists tightly.

Only one-third of the Demon God's bloodline remained.

"Yuhan, what's wrong?" Xia Youtian asked in confusion.

"Nothing, Brother Xia. Time is short; let's go to the next place." He Yuhan stood up, looking at the distant sky. Though there was no abnormality far away,

In He Yuhan's eyes, that place was filled with demonic aura.

Unfortunately, she was truly powerless; everything had to prioritize the greater good.

She only hoped those major sects could seal the ancient great demon.
