"The realm unfolds, the Fool's World."
The moment the words fell, a pure white halo emanated from the youth...
Sweeping across the entire Bluestone Town
The white light swept across the ruins and rubble.
It was still the same tens of thousands of fully armed Ancient Moon Evil Dragon army.
They were all enveloped by this rule!
Clang!
One of the dragon generals charging at the forefront suddenly dropped his heavy Dragon Spear to the ground.
He stared at his hands in terror and cried out in a trembling voice.
"How... how did my power disappear?!"
"My physical fitness... how did it drop to C-class?!"
"Me too! My Dragon Clan bloodline has been Suppression!"
"I can't use my Supernatural Ability! What's going on?!"
"He's clearly not from the Ancient Moon Evil Dragon Clan, how could he possibly use the princess's [Eye of the Moon] to forcibly open a domain?!"
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Guyue Haotian also felt the loss of power within his body.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the young man.
"No wonder... no wonder!"
Guyue Haotian's eyes were bloodshot as he roared through gritted teeth.
"No wonder this guy survived taking a direct hit from Xu Yu's arrow!"
"So it was that legendary Supernatural Ability!"
"Sequence 000! [The Fool]!"
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black!"
"Everything that comes near him, whether it be a thing or an object!"
"Living beings!"
"Even the attacks that were launched!"
"They will all be forcibly lowered to the exact same numerical level as him!"
"At the same time, everything he comes into contact with will adapt to him under the halo of [The Fool]!"
"To allow him to perfectly wield power that doesn't belong to him!"
Guyue Haotian looked at the [Eye of the Moon] closed in the young man's left eye socket and was so angry that his liver and gallbladder were about to burst.
He drew his sword sharply and issued orders in a stern voice.
"All troops, listen up! His current skill level is the same as yours, C-class!"
"Kill him! Take back the princess's eyes!"
"Whoever takes his head, I will bestow upon him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!"
A generous reward will surely attract brave men.
Although their strength was Suppression to C-class, they were still faced with a huge numerical advantage and temptation.
Thousands of Guyue soldiers roared and surged toward the young man.
The young man remained expressionless in the face of the overwhelming army.
"Boom!"
Bloodline leap!
The second time!
The youthful energy surged instantly!
The rules of [Fool's World] are indeed unreasonable; it forcibly locks everyone's base stats at the lowest level of 1.
However, it doesn't care about subsequent increases!
When everyone else is at level 1, the young man gives himself a bloodline leap buff!
This becomes a one-sided, dimensional reduction attack!
"Whoosh!"
The young man charged into the enemy ranks alone.
Each swing of the black spear in his hand brought forth large amounts of severed limbs and desperate screams!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
The corpses of the Ancient Moon Evil Dragon lay in pools of blood.
"Boom!"
Bloodline leap!
Triggered three times!
"Boom!"
Bloodline leap!
Four triggers!
The army of the Ancient Moon Evil Dragon was utterly terrified!
These are the Dragon Clan who are usually high and mighty.
Looking at that murderous young man, it was as if he were an invincible enemy!
"This is impossible! Is he a human or a monster?!"
A soldier broke down, dropped his weapon, and ran backward.
"The probability of the Dragon Clan's bloodline leaping is only three in ten thousand!"
"How can anyone eat this stuff as a meal?!"
"He's cheating!!!"
Seeing his army being unilaterally slaughtered, Guyue Haotian finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Die!!!"
Guyue Haotian roared, and his entire right arm erupted with purple light.
Runes flow across the skin!
[Hand of the Moon]!
Even with her physical abilities Suppression, the [Hand of the Moon]'s ability to convert all energy still remains.
He charged at the youth, his right claw slashing down!
"Pfft!"
The young man couldn't dodge in time, and his entire left arm was severed cleanly by Guyue Haotian's [Hand of the Moon]!
Blood splattered everywhere!
"We got it!"
Guyue Haotian was overjoyed and was preparing to press his advantage.
However, the young man with the missing arm didn't even flinch.
His heterochromatic eyes were fixed on Guyue Haotian!
"Boom!!!"
Bloodline leap!
Fifth trigger!!!
The violent gust of wind instantly overturned the surrounding corpses!
Here we go again!
Guyue Haotian was terrified, thinking that the monster was about to launch a fatal attack on him!
He quickly held the [Hand of the Moon] horizontally in front of his chest, assuming the most defensive stance.
However, he was wrong.
The young man completely ignored Guyue Haotian, who was on full defensive endeavors.
With the terrifying speed boost from his fifth bloodline leap, he bypassed Guyue Haotian!
They charged straight at the three dragon generals who were still giving orders at the rear!
Because of the huge difference in base speed caused by the [Fool's World], the three dragon generals didn't even have time to react.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
The spear flashed like a dragon, its cold light gleaming repeatedly!
Three heads shot into the sky, three renowned dragon generals from the Dragon Xia Imperial City.
He was easily killed by the youth, like slicing cabbage!
Then, the young man, holding a gun in one hand, began a one-sided massacre of the remaining Guyue soldiers!
"Stop! Stop right now!!!"
Guyue Haotian, his eyes bloodshot, chased after him relentlessly.
However, his speed was Suppression by the [Fool's World].
At this moment, he was like a powerless, furious husband, only able to watch helplessly as the young man's blood surged to its fullest potential!
Right before his eyes, they slaughtered his proud army piece by piece!
He simply couldn't keep up with the young man's speed!
In just half an hour.
The entire square of Bluestone Town was littered with corpses, and rivers of blood flowed.
The tens of thousands of Ancient Moon Evil Dragons' army were completely annihilated.
On the vast battlefield, only Guyue Haotian was still able to stand and catch his breath.
And that blood-covered, one-armed youth.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Guyue Haotian knelt amidst Corpse Mountain and seas of blood, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.
He, a mighty Dragon King, was actually defeated by an unknown soldier!
"You slaughtered my entire Ancient Moon Evil Dragon clan... Who exactly are you?!"
Guyue Haotian roared shrilly, "State your name!!!"
The young man did not answer immediately.
He walked to the corpse of a dragon general he had just beheaded, and with a swift stroke, brought the blade down.
They severed a low-powered version of the [Hand of the Moon] that the dragon general had also awakened.
Then, to Guyue Haotian's horrified gaze, the young man pressed the severed arm directly against the bleeding wound on his left shoulder.
The Fool's rules are activated, and all things adapt!
The [Hand of the Moon] was perfectly attached to the young man's shoulder, its purple light flowing as if it were a natural gift!
The young man slowly raised his head and twisted his neck.
"The one who killed you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man fired his gun!
The newly connected [Hand of the Moon] instantly erupted with a dazzling purple light.
Combined with the abnormal attributes of five bloodline leaps, it directly blasted towards Guyue Haotian!
I'll fight you to the death!
Guyue Haotian unleashed his last strength, wielding his Hand of the Moon to meet the attack head-on!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Two moons shine brightly, their purple light bursting forth!
However, with his attributes completely outmatched, Guyue Haotian's resistance appeared utterly pale and powerless.
In less than ten rounds, the young man's spear pierced through Guyue Haotian's thigh, pinning him to the ground!
"Bang!"
The young man stepped on Guyue Haotian's chest, and a battle sword he had snatched from the dragon general was now in his hand.
Guyue Haotian lay in a pool of blood, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
He lost.
They lost miserably, utterly and completely.
The mighty Dragon King was actually defeated by an unknown nobody.
But...
Looking at the ruthless and decisive young man before him, Guyue Haotian didn't feel too ashamed.
Because he knew that this monster, capable of constantly ascending his bloodline and possessing the Supernatural Ability Fool, had a future...
Absolutely limitless.
"Cough... haha."
Guyue Haotian gave a bitter laugh, a look of relief on his face.
At least, I didn't die a miserable death at the hands of the Ancestor Dragon Emperor.
Watching the young man slowly raise his sword, preparing to cut off his head in exchange for battle merits.
Guyue Haotian turned his head and cast his last glance at his unconscious daughter in the distant ruins.
"Wait... wait a minute."
Guyue Haotian spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I want... information."
"Information that can make you stronger in this world..."
"The ultimate secret of the Ancient Moon Evil Dragon Clan, in exchange for my daughter's life."
"And... don't take her Eye of the Moon."
The young man's raised sword stopped in mid-air.
His heterochromatic eyes looked down at Guyue Haotian.
"What makes you think I'd be so kind as to abandon [Eye of the Moon] after receiving the information?"
Guyue Haotian chuckled weakly, "Heh... intuition."
"Based on your performance in that near-death, desperate situation just now."
"He dared to stand up alone for a little girl who was not related to him at all."
"But I understand... you weren't really doing it for her."
"It's about fulfilling your duty as a soldier!"
The young man fell silent.
The wind blew across the battlefield, ruffling his disheveled, black hair.
After a long while, he lowered the blade.
"Okay, I promise."
The young man's voice was cold and resolute, "I will spare her life."
"If your information truly satisfies me, [Eye of the Moon]..."
"I'll return it to her as well."
"Good!"
In a final burst of light, Guyue Haotian revealed the secret that had been hidden for a thousand years.
"[Hand of the Moon]... can evolve indefinitely."
"I'm the only one in the Ancient Moon Evil Dragon Clan who knows about this."
"And its only way of evolution..."
"You can probably guess why I'm risking my life to keep this a secret, even intending to take it to my grave!"
The young man paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over Guyue Haotian's purple right arm.
Then look at the low-end version of my arm that I just had attached.
He instantly understood.
"Whoosh!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the young man swiftly brought down the knife.
He chopped off Guyue Haotian's [Hand of the Moon] shoulder-length!
Then, the young man stretched out his newly reattached left arm and grabbed Guyue Haotian's severed arm.
Guyue Haotian's once dazzling [Hand of the Moon] was now dimming and losing its luster.
However, the purple light on the youth's left arm grew stronger and stronger!
The aura grew increasingly terrifying!
"A constitution that devours its own kind... feeding on its own kind."
The young man squinted, feeling the power within him surge exponentially, and muttered to himself.
No wonder you kept it a secret.
"If this secret were revealed, the Ancient Moon Evil Dragon Clan would be wiped out in an instant by devouring each other."
He looked down at Guyue Haotian, whose life force was rapidly fading, and made his final promise.
"Your intelligence is very valuable."
"I will keep my promise and return the Eye of the Moon to her."
Guyue Haotian nodded in satisfaction, the obsession on his face finally completely dissipating.
He took a deep breath, looked at the battle sword that had been raised again, and asked with his last bit of strength.
"Finally... could you tell me your name?"
A cold light gleamed.
The young man's voice rang out, accompanied by the merciless fall of the blade.
"Jiangnan."
