Chapter 566: Bound Item, Still Trying to Snatch It

"Truly a beast." Lin Fan suddenly realized that he was living worse than his treasure.

His own cultivation progressed so slowly, yet under his nurturing, this "Demon City" directly soared in cultivation, like riding a rocket—whoosh! whoosh!—several realms.

But Lin Fan understood that the bloodline of the ancient great demon was also crucial; the ancient great demon was the sole king among ancient beasts, and being able to ascend to that sole kingship meant its bloodline was beyond ordinary comparison.

The only regret was that the ancient great demon fell in the Xuanhuang Realm, and to revive, it used the demon god bloodline as a lure to deceive the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Although the bloodline had dissipated, the ancient great demon was the emperor of demons; even if the bloodline dried up, it could slowly recover. Thus, what Lin Fan was doing now was to help the ancient great demon restore its bloodline, regain its glory, and become a peerless powerhouse that could battle through the ages.

By then, pulling "Eternal" back up would give him the confidence to fight fiercely against the eight supreme clans of the ancient race.

"A Dao artifact!"

Tianyun looked enviously at the "Demon City" floating in the void.

For the myriad races of the Ancient Saint Realm, possessing a "Dao artifact" was incredibly rare, perhaps not even once in a lifetime.

Although the Cloud Sect was wealthy, obtaining a Dao artifact required a tremendous cost—a cost that could exhaust a lifetime.

"This Dao artifact is naturally formed; even the top refiners might not be able to forge it." Hongyun said, looking at the "Demon City" with admiration.

"Hongyun, do you know something about refining?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

"Yes, I learned about refining from a refiner in the sect." Hongyun said.

"A refiner?" Lin Fan was taken aback. Wasn't it said that the myriad races couldn't refine artifacts? How could there be a refiner?

At that moment, Lin Fan was a bit confused.

Hongyun smiled mysteriously. "Actually, the myriad races indeed cannot refine, but within the sect, we captured an ancient race member that could refine, and then used a secret technique to control it for the sect's refining."

Lin Fan nodded, deeply impressed. Indeed, the myriad races possessed boundless wisdom; since they couldn't refine, they captured an ancient race member that could and brainwashed it into refining for them.

At the same time, Lin Fan was also curious about this control technique.

But this technique was somewhat evil, far inferior to his own Thunderous Domination Dharma King.

"Brother Tianyun, thanks for helping to kill the fire spirits earlier. I didn't expect that when you burst forth, these fire spirits were no match." Lin Fan patted his shoulder and said with a smile.

Tianyun snorted and rolled his eyes, as if to say, "See that? You said I was holding you back."

"Haha, I didn't expect a few little brats to have a Dao artifact. Truly heaven blesses me." Just then, a gloomy voice suddenly came from the void, and a blood-red giant hand reached out from the sky, grabbing toward the "Demon City."

"Lin Fan, quickly take back the Dao artifact. This is the Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor." Fairy Hongyun's expression changed drastically when she saw the blood-red giant hand.

From the panic in Fairy Hongyun's eyes, one could see her fear of the Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor.

"I didn't expect a little girl to know my reputation. Good, good. After I take this Dao artifact, I'll definitely savor your blood." The gloomy voice filled the void, its origin unknown.

The blood-red giant hand had five thick fingers, with long, sharp red nails that seemed capable of tearing anything they grabbed into pieces.

"Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor?" Tianyun and Mu Qing trembled violently at the name, as if recalling something terrifying.

"Damn fool. You want my Dao artifact? Then I'll give it to you. I'm just afraid you can't take it." Lin Fan had no idea who this Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor was. Since he wanted his Dao artifact, he would give it to him.

"What are you doing?" Fairy Hongyun's expression changed; she didn't know what Lin Fan was up to.

"Haha, good, good. Since you're offering the Dao artifact willingly, I'll let you die quickly." The Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor was clearly overjoyed that this guy was handing over the Dao artifact on his own.

This was a Dao artifact, the object of everyone's greed.

But when the Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor's blood-red giant hand seized the "Demon City," a terrifying scene occurred.

The blood-red giant hand holding the "Demon City" seemed to be crushed by something, sinking downward and shattering continuously.

It was as if the "Demon City" weighed ten thousand jun, impossible to support.

"How is this possible..." The Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor roared in shock. He couldn't believe that his blood hand, capable of grasping the heavens and earth, couldn't hold this Dao artifact.

Lin Fan sneered coldly. Items refined from the system, unless he permitted, no one else could take them.

To put it in a saying:

"A bound item—you still want to snatch it? Are you brain-dead?"

Squeak! Squeak!

In an instant, the blood-red giant hand transformed into countless blood bats, each enormous, with wings spanning several zhang.

So many blood bats filled the void, blotting out the sky.

"This is an old demon who ascended from the Bat Realm, ruthless and merciless, specializing in sucking blood to enhance his cultivation. He has a fearsome reputation in the Ancient God Realm." Fairy Hongyun said nervously.

"This Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor is a troublesome demon lord. He seems impossible to kill; as long as a blood bat exists, he can revive infinitely. Our sect once tried to exterminate him, but he escaped from the elders' encirclement with bizarre methods."

"Hmph, I don't know what secret technique you used, but since you dared to harm my blood bats, I'll drain your blood dry." In an instant, the void trembled, and a red figure stood in the air.

The figure had blood-red hair, double red pupils, a pale face, and sharp teeth, like a demon.

The Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor was holding three ancient race members, then threw them into the swarm of blood bats.

Squeak! Squeak!

The bats swarmed, instantly covering the three ancient race members. In a flash, when the blood bats left, the three ancient race members had become dried corpses, devoid of any blood color.

After sucking the blood of the ancient race members, the blood bats were enveloped in a strange glow.

When Lin Fan saw the cultivation level of the Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor, his brow furrowed. He felt this was troublesome.

"Divine Heaven Rank Triple: Cave Heaven Realm."

He had never encountered an opponent who had condensed their domain into a cave heaven.

Run!

Lin Fan didn't want to take risks, especially with these dead weights.

Especially Tianyun and Mu Qing, who were already scared stiff by the fearsome reputation of the Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor.

Because falling into the hands of the Ten Thousand Bat Old Ancestor meant a gruesome death.
