Domain Lord vs. Immortal

"It's Twenty-Two."

Deep within the abyss, a tall figure who had been sitting cross-legged on a protruding platform suddenly opened his eyes, glanced into the distance, and said, "A-Er, these Twenty-Two have ultimately chosen to become hyenas like us."

"After twenty years, he has finally returned!" Another voice rang in Captain A-Yi's ears, traveling hundreds of kilometers. As Peak World Lord, the two of them could scan distances of thousands of kilometers with Spiritual Force. Therefore, they detected Lu Yan'an thousands of kilometers away from the bottom of the pit.

"It seems he has already accepted his destiny of becoming the Blood Venerable Disciple."

"Yes, it seems that's true. At least he didn't run away like that idiot before!"

The two Blood Venerable Disciple captains chatted casually across the distance, unaware that Lu Yan'an hadn't returned because he'd resigned himself to his fate; he was there to claim lives! Lu Yan'an didn't even intend to spare them!

The bottom of the abyss is wide and vast.

A blood-red palace stood amidst the ominous mist. A streak of azure Flowing Light landed before it, the figure appearing somewhat disheveled. However, this did not prevent him from entering the palace directly, and he respectfully greeted, "Disciple greets Master!"

"Wait a moment," a voice called from inside the palace.

Lu Yan'an knew very well that this was the voice of the intelligent Light Brain, so he silently waited in the main hall.

The Blood Venerable is in seclusion and is not to be disturbed. Anyone who wants to see the Blood Venerable during his seclusion must have this intelligent Light Brain inform him on their behalf.

"I'm on the top floor, come over here." Blood Venerable's highly recognizable voice rang in Lu Yan'an's ears.

"Yes."

Lu Yan'an then followed the stairs swiftly upwards like a phantom, and after a short while, he arrived at the top floor of the blood-red palace.

The top floor of this blood-red palace is not as small as it appears at first glance; it is roughly the same size as the first floor.

However, the decorations on this floor far surpass those on the first floor! For example, the decorations on the surrounding walls and the Bigui Carpet on the floor are made of materials that can last for millions of years without decaying. And on the blood-red throne in the main hall of this top-floor palace, a figure exuding a strong murderous aura sits.

A majestic and imposing figure, a blood-red robe, and long, blood-red hair.

It was none other than the Blood Venerable "Gan Qi".

"Greetings, teacher!" Lu Yan'an bowed slightly in greeting.

"What is it?" Blood Venerable sat high on his throne, looking down at the crowd, and smiled coldly. He didn't care at all about this disciple he had taken in twenty years ago. Although the disciple in front of him looked a bit disheveled, he had no intention of paying him any attention.

After all, all his disciples were just tools in his eyes. In fact, if it weren't for the Council of Elders the Flag-Seizing Tournament, he wouldn't even bother to take on these nominal disciples!

"Teacher, I have come here today only to ask you for one thing, so that I can better complete the mission ahead!" Lu Yan'an was completely unconcerned about the Blood Venerable's indifferent attitude; he simply stated his request calmly.

"What is it?" Blood Venerable Gan Qi asked without any hesitation.

"Your head!"

"Oh?"

Blood Venerable Gan Qi abruptly stood up from his throne, and a burst of blood-red energy erupted from his body, rushing directly towards Lu Yan'an. However, Lu Yan'an seemed unaffected by this energy, simply standing there quietly.

"Hahahaha, do you... know what you're saying?" Hearing Lu Yan'an's extremely arrogant words, he paused for a moment, then burst into an unprecedentedly manic laugh. In the next moment, all the sounds in the top floor of the palace fell silent, leaving only his chilling question.

"I'll borrow your head for a moment!" Lu Yan'an's voice was unaffected, he simply repeated slowly and powerfully, even the lawless aura of Immortal Level could not affect him at all!

[Honestly, I've been using Yeguo Reading to read and follow my favorite books lately. It has easy source switching, multiple reading voice options, and is compatible with both Android and Apple devices.]

"What on earth gave you such foolish courage to spout such nonsense in front of me?" The atmosphere between Blood Venerable Gan Qi and Lu Yan'an suddenly plummeted to freezing point! "I originally thought you were a smart person, but I never expected you to be so stupid. Do you really think you can hurt a genuine Immortal Expert with your pitiful Domain Rank strength?"

Gan Qi shook his head, a mocking smile appearing on his face, "Isn't it better to live a wretched life? How dare you?" As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful killing intent suddenly emanated from his body. And this overwhelming killing intent instantly pressed down on Lu Yan'an!

Beneath the throne, Lu Yan'an looked up at the terrifying figure radiating power; at this moment, he was facing an immortal, overwhelming killing intent.

Blood Venerable Gan Qi is the most outstanding genius in the Immortal Temple and even the entire Xueluo World in the past hundreds of thousands of years. Moreover, when he first entered the Immortal Realm, he had already fused 10 Xueluo Crystal, thus becoming the legendary "Black Warrior" in the Xueluo World!

Don't assume that Lu Yan'an's 200-fold increase in life level means the Black Warrior's 3-fold Life Gene Level is insignificant. Keep in mind that for ordinary humans, most powerful individuals never even break through their own Life Gene Level in their entire lives! What does a 3-fold increase in Life Gene Level mean? It means 3 times the comprehension, 3 times the solid foundation, and a much lower threshold for mastering the laws!

Although Lu Yan'an's true form's life level had been exaggerated to 200 times, one must know the enormous price he paid for it! While the "Heart of Time," a core material capable of serving as Origin Treasure, was reduced to ashes, he also fused with 100 Xueluo Crystal! How many people in this universe could afford to use the core material of an Origin Treasure to elevate their Life Gene Level?

In the Xueluo World, where resources are scarce, a training system is lacking, and the world is incredibly chaotic and backward, to be able to climb from the bottom to the top of the pyramid solely through personal strength is truly remarkable. Under such conditions, Blood Venerable Gan Qi is rightfully considered the greatest genius in the Xueluo World in hundreds of thousands of years!

"Do you have any last words?" Gan Qi stared at Lu Yan'an, the chilling glint in his eyes enough to freeze a person's soul!

"My dear teacher, I have been looking forward to this day. Besides, the outcome is still uncertain!" Lu Yan'an's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.

"I don't know where you get your confidence from? Are you the Lord Shen?" Gan Qi exuded a murderous aura.

"Who knows?" Lu Yan'an smiled slightly.

After saying that, he flipped his hand, and the Ningfeng Blade reappeared in his palm.

Wow!

A sharp aura erupted from Lu Yan'an, the Ningfeng Blade shimmering with a beautiful light. Unlike his previous role as an actor, Lu Yan'an was now beginning to reveal his true strength!

Gradually, the brilliance on the longsword faded, leaving only a faint red glow. This was the most powerful killing move in the third volume of "The Zhou Guang Yan Lun"—the Sinking Glimmer!

Boom!

The humanoid silhouette hidden behind the faint red light now radiated endless brilliance, seemingly echoing the pale red light in front of it.

Moment!

The light has faded!

Blood Venerable Gan Qi's eyes narrowed instantly as he saw Lu Yan'an's figure slowly rise into the air.

The Flowing Light on his dark black hair echoed the faint glow emanating from the blade before him, and a burning flame appeared in his eyes— Lu Yan'an's indomitable fighting spirit and boundless battle intent!

He held a long, fierce-looking blade and wore a white robe. He exuded an aura in mid-air, and the flow of time around him became strangely fast and slow as he gathered his strength.

An immense pressure spread out.

"Teacher, let's have a good, decisive battle!" A vast voice resounded in Blood Venerable Gan Qi's ears, "Don't disappoint a mere Domain Rank like me!"
