Chapter 305 The God Hunter, the God Realm?
As Su Fan left the Western Desert, he glanced back at the pyramid.
As the sun sets, its golden rays bathe the desert, casting long shadows of the pyramids.
"Taiyi Tianzun, you said you weren't sealed, but just trapped here?" Su Fan asked.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun nodded.
"Yes. I was severely injured in that great battle, and my soul entered the statue and fell into slumber. When I awoke, I was already inside this pyramid."
"The Sand Clan discovered my statue and, believing it to be a divine miracle, began to worship it. For three thousand years, they haven't done anything excessive; they've simply knelt and prayed to me every day, asking for my protection."
Su Fan smiled.
"Did you bless them?"
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun also smiled.
"I have been asleep for three thousand years, how can I protect you? However, when they knelt and worshipped, a trace of their wishes did seep into the statue, which helped me recover a little faster."
Su Fan nodded.
"So you don't seem to have any hatred towards the Sand Clan."
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun shook his head.
"No. So I simply left, without withdrawing their cultivation like Ziwei did."
The Ziwei Emperor snorted from the side.
"Taiyi, you're too easygoing. Those people have occupied your statue for three thousand years. Even if they haven't done anything wrong, they should be taught a lesson."
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun smiled.
"Ziwei, we've cultivated for so many years, why are we still worrying about these things? All living beings suffer; they're just looking for something to rely on."
The Ziwei Emperor fell silent.
Su Fan looked at these two big shots and sighed inwardly.
They are all four emperors, yet their temperaments and personalities are so different.
But it's good, one is strong and the other is gentle, they complement each other.
He looked into the distance.
"Next, there are fourteen more worlds. Let's take them one by one."
……
three days later.
Having completed his mission in the Spirit Realm, Su Fan returned to the Outer Heavens with the three Great Emperors.
Inside the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, Jian Wudi was already waiting impatiently.
Upon seeing Su Fan return, he hurriedly went to greet him.
"Su Fan, you're finally back! What exactly happened in the ruins that day? Why were you gone for so long?"
Su Fan waved his hand.
"It's a long story. First, arrange a place for me to rest; I have things to do tomorrow."
Jian Wudi nodded and was about to make arrangements when he suddenly noticed two more people behind Su Fan.
One was a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe, surrounded by illusory starlight.
One was a Taoist priest dressed in a green robe, holding a whisk, with an extraordinary and refined demeanor.
Jian Wudi was stunned.
"Who, who are these two...?"
Su Fan explained.
"The Great Emperor Ziwei, the Heavenly Venerable Taiyi Who Saves from Suffering."
Jian Wudi's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down.
The Purple Emperor? The Great Savior from Suffering?
That's one of the most powerful gods in Chinese mythology!
The foremost of the Four Emperors! The Great Emperor of the Eastern Azure Flower!
An existence even more powerful than Emperor Gouchen!
Jian Wudi immediately bowed in respect.
"Junior Jian Wudi greets the two Great Emperors!"
The Purple Star Emperor nodded.
Get up.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun also nodded in greeting.
Jian Wudi stood up, his legs still trembling.
He looked at Su Fan with a complicated expression.
This kid went out for a while and brought back two big shots.
Moreover, one is at the second level of the Dao Realm, and the other is at the first level of the Dao Realm.
Including the previous Houtu Niangniang, Gouchen Dadi, Lei Zun, Doumu Yuanjun...
The Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion is now powerful enough to sweep across the Outer Heavens.
No, it's more like it's already swept away.
Jian Wudi took a deep breath.
"Su Fan, where are you going tomorrow?"
Su Fan took out the golden light given to him by the Primordial Celestial Venerable and examined it.
"The next world will be called the 'Xuanhuang Realm'."
……
the next day.
In front of the teleportation array.
Su Fan stood in front of the gate of light, followed by the Ziwei Emperor, the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, and the Gouchen Emperor.
Houtu Niangniang, Lei Zun, Doumu Yuanjun and others remained at Wanjian Pavilion to guard the main camp.
Jian Wudi also wanted to go, but Su Fan refused.
"You stay here and watch the house. If anything happens to those gods, you can handle it."
Jian Wudi nodded helplessly.
"Then be careful."
Su Fan smiled.
"Don't worry. With the three Great Emperors here, what could possibly happen?"
He stepped into the portal of light.
……
The Realm of Darkness and Yellowness.
It is much larger and much older than the spirit world.
When Su Fan stepped out of the portal, the first thing he saw was a gray sky.
There was no sun in the sky, only a thick layer of clouds, and the light filtering through was dim and gloomy.
The surrounding area was a wasteland overgrown with weeds, with only a few twisted, dead trees occasionally visible.
A musty smell filled the air.
Su Fan frowned.
"Something feels off about this place."
Even the Purple Emperor frowned.
"Something's definitely not right. The spiritual energy here is very thin, but the resentment is very strong."
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun's expression was solemn.
"I sensed the presence of countless wandering souls. Many people have died in this place."
Emperor Gouchen nodded.
"And it wasn't a natural death. He was murdered."
Su Fan's eyes turned cold.
"The coordinates given by the Primordial Beginning indicate that the first statue is located here. Let's go take a look."
The four of them took to the air and flew towards the coordinates.
……
After flying for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a city appeared ahead.
The city was large, but dilapidated.
Most of the city wall had collapsed, the city gate was crooked, and a rusty plaque hung above it: Xuanhuang City.
The city was quiet, without a sound.
Su Fan landed at the city gate and looked at the dilapidated city.
"Nobody here?"
The Purple Emperor shook his head.
"There are people. But not many."
He pointed to the center of the city.
"There, you can feel the presence of living people."
The four entered the city.
The streets were lined with collapsed houses, and there were dried bloodstains and bones everywhere.
Su Fan's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
This place experienced a massacre.
Moreover, the timeframe is not far off, at most a few hundred years.
Upon reaching the center of the city, a massive building came into view.
It was a palace, and although it was dilapidated, one could still see its former grandeur.
Several people were standing at the palace gate.
They were all cultivators, but their cultivation levels were not high; the highest was only at the ninth rank.
They were dressed in tattered clothes, carrying knives and swords, and watching Su Fan and his companions warily.
The leader was an old man, at the early stage of the ninth rank.
He saw Su Fan and asked loudly.
"Who are you people?!"
Su Fan looked at him.
"Just passing by. What's going on in this city? How come so many people are dead?"
The old man's expression changed.
"Are you from out of town?"
Su Fan nodded.
"right."
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a wary look in his eyes.
"It's good that you're from outside. Let's go, we can't stay here."
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
Why?
Just as the old man was about to speak, a whooshing sound came from afar.
Several dark figures descended from the sky and landed at the palace gate.
They were several people dressed in black robes, exuding a chilling aura.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a sinister look in his eyes.
The later stages of a sage's life.
When the old man saw those people, his face turned pale, and he turned and ran.
But the middle-aged man raised his hand and pointed, and a beam of black light shot towards the old man.
The black light moved extremely fast, reaching the old man's back in the blink of an eye.
Su Fan raised his hand, and Cheng Yuan Sword was drawn, shattering the black light with a single strike.
The middle-aged man's expression changed.
"Who goes there? How dare you interfere in the affairs of my Blood God Cult?"
Su Fan looked at him.
"The Blood God Cult?"
The middle-aged man sneered.
"You don't even know the Blood God Cult? Where did you come from, you bumpkin?"
Su Fan didn't speak.
The Ziwei Emperor stepped forward.
"I ask you, did you kill the people in this city?"
The middle-aged man looked at the Ziwei Emperor, but couldn't sense his presence, and felt a little uneasy.
But relying on his advanced status as a sage and the powerful backer behind him, he became even bolder.
"So what if they are? These ants, kill them if you want, it's none of your business!"
The Purple Star Emperor smiled.
"It's none of your business!"
He raised his hand, and a beam of purple light shot out.
The middle-aged man wanted to hide, but he couldn't.
Purple light pierced through his body.
He screamed in agony, turned to ashes, and vanished into the air.
The remaining men in black robes were completely dumbfounded.
A Saint in the late stage, gone in a single move?
They turned and ran.
Emperor Ziwei raised his hand, and several beams of purple light shot out.
The black-robed men all turned to ashes.
Su Fan looked at the old man hiding in the distance.
"Come out. It's alright now."
The old man walked over cautiously.
He looked at Su Fan, then at the Ziwei Emperor, his legs trembling.
"Thank you so much, seniors, for saving my life..."
Su Fan waved his hand.
"You're welcome. Tell me, what's going on in this city?"
The old man sighed and began to tell his story.
Originally, this Xuanhuang Realm was a very prosperous world.
There are three major forces: Xuanhuang Sect, Blood God Sect, and Heavenly Demon Sect.
The three major powers stand in a tripartite balance, and although there are occasional frictions, the overall situation is relatively peaceful.
But three hundred years ago, the Blood God Cult suddenly rose to power.
Their leader, having somehow obtained the inheritance of an ancient evil cultivator, experienced a surge in strength, breaking through to the Dao Realm in one fell swoop.
Then, the Blood God Cult began to expand.
First they destroyed the Heavenly Demon Sect, then they besieged the Xuanhuang Sect.
The Xuanhuang Sect fought desperately, but they couldn't stop them.
Finally, the Xuanhuang Sect Master detonated the mountain-protecting formation, perishing together with the Blood God Sect's army.
But the leader of the Blood God Cult did not die.
Enraged, he ordered the massacre of the city.
More than three hundred cities in the Xuanhuang Realm were all slaughtered.
Of the one billion people, ninety-nine percent died.
The remaining people hid in the ruins, barely clinging to life.
Su Fan's eyes turned cold after hearing this.
"Where is the leader of the Blood God Cult now?"
The old man shook his head.
"I don't know. After he massacred the city, he went into seclusion. It's said he was trying to break through to the second level of the Dao Realm."
Su Fan nodded.
"Where is his stronghold?"
The old man pointed westward.
"Three thousand miles to the west, there is a Blood God Mountain. The headquarters of the Blood God Cult is located there."
Su Fan looked at the Ziwei Emperor.
"Senior, should we rescue them first or kill them first?"
The Purple Star Emperor smiled.
"I can tell you're ready to kill."
Su Fan smiled too.
"Then let's go kill someone first."
……
Blood God Mountain.
A mountain peak, entirely blood red, soars into the clouds.
At the foot of the mountain stands a huge stone tablet with two large, blood-red characters engraved on it: Blood God.
The mountain was covered with palaces and caves, densely packed together, housing tens of thousands of Blood God Cult disciples.
At the foot of the mountain, disciples stood guard.
Su Fan and his three companions descended from the sky and landed in front of the mountain gate.
The disciples guarding the gate changed their expressions when they saw them.
"Who goes there?!"
Su Fan didn't speak, and unleashed a sword strike.
As the sword flashed, more than a dozen gatekeepers were sent flying.
He stepped into the mountain gate.
……
On the mountainside, inside a grand hall.
An old man in a blood-red robe was cultivating.
He is the Grand Elder of the Blood God Sect, at the first level of the Dao Realm.
Sensing the movement below the mountain, he opened his eyes and frowned.
"Has someone broken into the mountains?"
He stood up and walked out of the main hall.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a sword light shoot into the sky.
From the foot of the mountain, countless screams echoed.
The elder's expression changed, and he took to the air, flying down the mountain.
……
at the foot of the mountain.
Su Fan killed one Blood God Cult disciple at a time with his sword, causing the disciples to wail and scream in terror.
Early stage of sainthood? One sword strike.
Mid-stage Saint? One sword strike.
Late-stage Saint? Or just one sword strike.
Those disciples couldn't withstand his sword strike at all.
The three Ziwei Emperors stood behind, not making a move.
They don't need to get involved in such a minor matter.
Soon, the foot of the mountain was littered with corpses.
At least three hundred.
The remaining disciples were so frightened that they scattered and fled, not daring to approach.
Su Fan sheathed his sword and was about to continue upwards when a streak of blood-red light descended from the sky.
The Grand Elder landed in front of him, looked at him, and his face turned ashen.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my Blood God Cult's territory?"
Su Fan looked at him.
"Are you the leader of the Blood God Cult?"
The elder shook his head.
"I am the Grand Elder. The Sect Leader is currently in seclusion."
Su Fan nodded.
"Then I'll kill you first."
He unleashed a sword strike.
The Grand Elder sneered.
"A late-stage sage dares to be so insolent before me?"
He struck out with his palm, and blood gushed forth.
Sword light and blood light collided.
boom--!!!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
Su Fan took three steps back.
The Grand Elder took five steps back.
His expression changed.
"A late-stage Saint, can withstand a single palm strike from me?"
Su Fan smiled.
"The first level of the Dao Realm, is that all?"
The Grand Elder's face turned ashen.
"court death!"
He formed a hand seal, and his body surged with blood-red light.
A river of blood surged out from behind him, overwhelming and pressing down on Su Fan.
In the river of blood, countless wronged souls wailed.
That was the Blood River Technique he had perfected by killing countless people.
Su Fan's eyes turned cold.
The Investiture of the Gods was unfurled, and 365 golden rays shot out.
Golden light rushed into the river of blood, and the wronged souls were instantly purified by the golden light.
The River of Blood was shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The Grand Elder's expression changed drastically.
"How is that possible?!"
Su Fan ignored him and slashed out with his sword.
The sword flashed across his body.
puff-
An arm flew up.
The elder screamed and staggered back more than ten steps.
He clutched his severed arm, his face deathly pale.
"Who...who are you?!"
Su Fan walked up to him.
"Chinese people".
He slashed down with his sword.
The elder's head flew off.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The body fell to the ground.
Su Fan sheathed his sword and looked towards the mountaintop.
"Next."
……
At the mountaintop, the Blood God Palace.
Su Fan and his three companions entered the main hall.
Deep within the main hall lies a massive pool of blood.
The pool of blood churned with bright red blood, emitting a strong, pungent stench.
In the center of the blood pool, an old man in a blood-red robe sat cross-legged.
His eyes were closed, and he was surrounded by a dense aura of blood.
The leader of the Blood God Cult, at the second level of the Dao Realm.
He opened his eyes when he sensed someone entering.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his blood-red eyes.
"You killed the Grand Elder?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Kill him."
The Blood God Cult Leader stood up and stepped out of the blood pool.
He looked at Su Fan, then at the three people behind him.
Emperor Ziwei, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, and Emperor Gouchen.
He couldn't sense any of the three people's presence.
But the less he could sense, the more uncertain he felt.
The Blood God Cult Leader took a deep breath.
"Who are you? And why are you an enemy of my Blood God Sect?"
Su Fan smiled.
"An enemy? You slaughtered a billion people in the Xuanhuang Realm. I'm here today to seek justice for them."
The Blood God Cult Leader's expression changed.
"Are you a remnant of the Xuanhuang Realm?"
Su Fan shook his head.
"No. I was just passing by."
The Blood God Cult Leader paused for a moment, then laughed.
"Just passing by? Mind your own business?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. It's meddling in other people's business."
The Blood God Cult Leader's face turned cold.
"court death!"
He slapped Su Fan with his palm.
Blood gushed forth, covering the sky and the earth.
Su Fan Chengyuan slashed out with his sword.
Sword light and blood light collided.
boom--!!!
Su Fan took five steps back.
The Blood God Cult Leader took two steps back.
His expression changed.
"A late-stage Saint, can you withstand a single palm strike from me?"
Su Fan smiled.
"The second level of the Dao Realm is nothing special."
The Blood God Cult Leader's face turned ashen.
He looked at the three people, including the Ziwei Emperor.
"Who are they? Why aren't they attacking?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Them? They're just here to watch the show."
The Blood God Cult Leader was furious.
"Arrogant!"
He formed a hand seal, and his body surged with blood-red light.
The blood in the blood pool boiled and transformed into blood dragons that rushed towards Su Fan.
Su Fan unfolded the Investiture of the Gods list, and three hundred and sixty-five golden rays shot out.
The golden light clashed with the blood dragon.
Rumbling--
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
The blood dragons collapsed one by one.
However, most of the golden light was also consumed.
The Blood God Cult Leader's expression changed.
"The Investiture of the Gods?! You're the Investiture Envoy?!"
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
Do you know about the Investiture of the Gods?
The Blood God Cult Leader's eyes flickered.
"Hmph, of course I recognize it. The Investiture of the Gods was a very famous list in ancient times."
"However, do you think you can defeat me with the Investiture of the Gods?"
He raised his hand, and a beam of blood-red light shot towards the top of the hall.
A beam of blood-red light suddenly appeared above the main hall.
Amidst the blood-red light, a statue slowly descended.
It was a statue of an evil god dressed in a blood-red robe, exuding a terrifying aura.
The third level of Dao realm.
The Blood God Cult Leader sneered.
"This is the Blood God Statue that I have refined for three thousand years, possessing the power of the third level of the Dao Realm. Today, I will use you as a sacrifice!"
He pointed a finger at the Blood God statue.
The Blood God statue opened its eyes, its blood-red eyes looking at Su Fan.
A beam of blood-red light shot out from its eyes, heading straight for Su Fan.
Su Fan's expression changed.
He's at the third level of the Dao Realm; he's not easy to deal with.
Just as he was about to unleash the Immortal Execution Sword, the Ziwei Emperor made a move.
The Ziwei Emperor stepped forward and blocked Su Fan's path.
He struck out with his palm, unleashing a torrent of purple light.
Purple light and blood light collided.
boom--!!!
The deafening roar shook the heavens.
Blood splattered and shattered.
The Blood God statue took a few steps back.
The Purple Emperor stood still, motionless.
The Blood God Cult Leader's expression changed drastically.
"Second level of the Dao Realm?! No, it's the peak of the second level of the Dao Realm!"
The Purple Star Emperor looked at him.
"A mere statue of an evil god dares to be so insolent before me?"
He raised his hand, and a beam of purple light shot towards the Blood God statue.
The Blood God statue roared and spewed out countless beams of blood.
But the purple light was too strong.
The blood-red light was pierced by the purple light.
The purple light pierced directly through the body of the Blood God statue.
The Blood God statue let out a miserable scream and collapsed with a crash.
It turned into countless fragments.
The Blood God Cult Leader's face turned deathly pale.
"Who...who are you?!"
The Purple Star Emperor said calmly.
"The North Pole, the Great Emperor of Ziwei."
The Blood God Cult Leader was stunned.
The Purple Star Emperor?
The foremost of the Four Emperors of China?
That legendary being?
He turned and ran.
But there's no escaping it.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun raised his hand, and a beam of azure light shot out.
The azure light transformed into a protective shield, trapping the Blood God Cult Leader inside.
The Blood God Cult Leader attacked the light shield desperately, but the shield remained unmoved.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun looked at him.
"You've killed a billion people, and you think you can get away?"
The Blood God Cult Leader's face turned deathly pale.
"Spare me... Spare my life..."
Su Fan walked over.
He looked at the Blood God Cult Leader.
"Spare me?"
The Blood God Cult Leader nodded frantically.
"I... I can give you all the treasures of the Blood God Cult! I can also tell you a secret!"
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
"What secret?"
The Blood God Cult Leader gritted his teeth.
"You must first promise to spare my life."
Su Fan smiled.
Do you think you have the right to negotiate?
He raised his hand, and the Chengyuan Sword was placed against the Blood God Cult Leader's neck.
The Blood God Cult Leader trembled all over.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!"
"The ancient heretical cultivation manual I obtained mentioned a place."
Su Fan looked at him.
"Where?"
The Blood God Cult Leader took a deep breath.
"The realm of gods."
