Sweeping Through (3)

"So you're the one behind this place?" Fanxin coldly stared at the long-haired man and shouted.

"That's right, everything here is under my control. I am the master of this place. I don't quite remember my name because it's been so long. Just call me Blood King! I quite like that name." The long-haired man nodded affirmatively and said.

"Why have you lingered on for so long, clinging to life? What is your purpose?" Fanxin looked at the other person with confusion.

Living too long isn't very meaningful, because friends will leave one by one. In the end, you'll be alone for the rest of your life. What's the point of living alone? He felt it was meaningless.

However, this guy was very interested and actually used unconventional methods to gain power, allowing him to survive in the world for so long.

However, he was puzzled as to what kind of power allowed him to live for so long. Even the abilities of their Soul Clan could only extend lifespan by a certain amount.

"Purpose? I can't remember, let me think! Oh, right, I plan to rule this world, because I loathe it. I plan to rule it and then transform it," the Blood King said.

"Rule the world? You're really crazy, but do you think you can do it?" Fanxin Xin looked at the other person speechlessly and said.

"Hehe, of course I know it's very difficult to do. And it would have been absolutely impossible for me when I was young." The Blood King chuckled and said, "Because when I was young, my health wasn't very good, so I was never able to cultivate. For this reason, I tried everywhere to find a way to cure my body. After a long time of effort, I finally found a way to improve my health. I ate a Devil Fruit called the Blood-Blood Fruit, and I constantly cleansed my blood, removing all the toxins from my body."

"Through my relentless efforts, I finally cleared the toxins from my body, and I could begin my cultivation. Then, I began grueling training. To become stronger, I constantly devoured the blood of others, especially those who had eaten Devil Fruit —they were my primary targets. I traveled to many places, but because I wasn't strong enough at the time, I had to keep a low profile. Therefore, very few people knew of my existence."

"You've been secretly growing stronger step by step, haven't you!" Fanxin said coldly.

"That's right, that's exactly it. When others don't pay attention to me, it's the perfect opportunity for me to become stronger," the Blood King nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Fanxin rubbed his head helplessly and said, "Why do you want to rule this world? Don't you think that's a crazy idea? And even if you did rule this world, so what?"

Upon hearing this, the Blood King smiled and said, "Alright, since you're about to become my representative, I'll tell you why I'm doing this! The reason I'm doing this is because those rulers are despicable. They killed my parents without any reason. And after killing them, they shouted wildly, seemingly mocking me, saying, 'So what if I killed your parents? What can you do to me?' They took everything from me, leaving me with no hope. Therefore, I hate them, I want to take revenge on them, and I want them to understand that I'm not so easily bullied."

"However, I've discovered that I can't fulfill this wish on my own. The rulers are incredibly powerful. What can I do? I must gain immense power, I must gain eternal life. Only then can I hone my power to its fullest potential. Only then can I defeat those rulers, only then can I control the world."

"Heh, so from then on, I began searching for a way to make my life eternal. I was lucky; I found a way. It was the Op-Op Fruit. The Op-Op Fruit has an ultimate power: it can grant one eternal life. However, it has a flaw: the Devil Fruit User uses that ultimate power will die. So, I devoted myself to finding the one who had eaten the Op-Op Fruit. After finding him, I slowly nurtured him, making him stronger step by step. Until he could use the ultimate power of the Op-Op Fruit, I controlled him and made him use that ultimate power on me. Thus, I gained eternal life. And he, however, died."

"However, eternal lifespan isn't enough. What's the use of living a long time if you don't have great strength? No one will pay you any attention. So, I searched for great power again. I went through countless hardships and ten years to finally find the place where the Wolf God sleeps, the Wolf Valley. The Wolf God's power is extraordinary. If I obtain the Wolf God's power, I will become an incredibly powerful person."

"In this way, I can overthrow those rulers, become king myself, and change the world. Originally, I couldn't find Wolf Valley, but I heard that the Soul Clan has a very keen Soul Perception. So, I tried to befriend the Soul Clan, gained their trust, and then slowly controlled them, making them help me find the location of Wolf Valley."

"Haha, those idiots, they thought I was genuinely trying to befriend them? They were fooled!" the Blood King said. "After acquiring Wolf Valley, I started reaping its rewards, and everything went smoothly. However, things haven't been so smooth since I encountered the Wolf Clan. Although the Wolf God is asleep, it's still very sensitive to the Wolf Clan. If any wolves enter this place, I can't use my abilities."

"However, after so many years, I have developed the Devil Fruit's power to one hundred percent, and I have also gained a considerable amount of the Wolf God's power. With these two powers, I can get everything I want."

"Boy, now you know what kind of being you've offended! If you submit to me, I will treat you well; but if you dare disobey my orders, I will not let you off the hook. I will make you suffer unbearable pain." After saying this, the Blood King stared at Fanxin and said coldly. His eyes were bloodshot, like a monster with bloodlust.

"Hmph, you killed my people, do you think I'll let you get away with this?" Fanxin said coldly. He hated it most when others killed his people, and since this guy had done it, he wouldn't let him get away with it.

"Hmph, what do you have to fight me with? Your strength is so weak, killing you would be an easy task for me," the Blood King said disdainfully.
