Chapter 428: There's Always a Traitor Plotting Against Me

The Blood Demon Emperor dragged the broken Heart Demon Emperor away from here.

When the Heart Demon Emperor wakes up, I'm afraid the Blood Realm will be filled with wails of lamentation.

Exactly as Lin Fan had imagined, when the Heart Demon Emperor woke up in the Blood Realm and saw himself in such a state, he was utterly dumbfounded.

His own essence blood had been nearly drained, and he had no idea what had happened; the more he thought about it, the less he understood why.

From then on, a heart demon appeared in the heart of the Heart Demon Emperor, who once controlled heart demons.

All of this was also Lin Fan's fault.

…

Lin Fan looked at the fifty-six drops of the Blood Demon Emperor's essence blood, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

This was an exhilarating thing.

The ninth level of the Blood Sea Demon Art, 'Rebirth from a Drop of Blood,' would once again shine with divine light in his hands.

“Swallow…”

Each drop of essence blood contained supreme and狂暴 power; these were the source of the Blood Demon Emperor's strength, mixed with various negative emotions.

If an ordinary person swallowed them and couldn't withstand the power, they would explode; even if they didn't explode, they would be overwhelmed by the thick negative emotions.

After all, the Blood Realm was a place of filth and evil.

Although the Blood Demon Emperor was utterly cowardly before him, if anyone truly took him for a pushover, they would be gravely mistaken.

In the Blood Realm, those who could become overlords were no simple characters; these negative emotions alone could drag a person into the abyss.

If not for the system, Lin Fan wouldn't have dared to swallow so much essence blood at once, especially mixed with the Heart Demon Emperor's essence blood.

In an instant.

The blood energy within Lin Fan's body churned violently, and clusters of blood-colored gas emanated from him.

A powerful blood force suddenly burst forth from Lin Fan, sweeping across the entire world.

Streams of warm currents converged, eventually forming a vast ocean.

“I'll try to break through once more; I must succeed.”

The door to the ninth level of the Blood Sea Demon Art had loosened; as long as he could enter the ninth level, he would truly be immortal and indestructible.

With so much essence blood, if he still couldn't succeed, he might need to accumulate for a while.

“Boom…”

In an instant, a bloody, ferocious dragon coiled around Lin Fan's body; the blood within him had now reached its boiling point, surging continuously.

“Rumble…”

The essence blood power of the Heart Demon Emperor and the Blood Demon Emperor converged into a torrent, relentlessly battering the stone door within his body.

The stone door began to tremble…

“Hmm…”

Just then, a ripple suddenly stirred in the void, and a figure draped in a black robe exuded waves of surging blood energy.

This aura felt somewhat familiar, as if he had encountered it before.

But at this moment, Lin Fan had no time to pay attention to the other party, as he had reached a critical limit; success or failure depended on this moment.

At the same time, Lin Fan secretly rejoiced that he had almost been misled by the Blood Sea Demon Art.

The gap between the eighth and ninth levels was like heaven and earth; even the amount of essence blood required was not on the same scale.

If he hadn't summoned the Blood Demon Emperor to obtain his essence blood, relying solely on the Heart Demon Emperor's essence blood might not have allowed him to reach this point.

“Break through in peace; I am not an enemy.” The figure floating in the void said calmly.

Lin Fan closed his eyes slightly, focusing all his mind on the changes within his body.

“Boom…”

A thunderous sound exploded within Lin Fan's body.

“It's done…”

At this moment, Lin Fan was overjoyed; the blood within him seemed to have been sublimated, and his essence, energy, and spirit suddenly poured into the blood, enhancing its vitality.

“Ding, congratulations on upgrading the Blood Sea Demon Art.”

“Ding, congratulations on comprehending the Blood Sea Demon Art's Rebirth from a Drop of Blood realm.”

…

At this moment, Lin Fan felt an indescribable excitement; he had finally succeeded, and from now on, he would have greater security. What excited him even more was that the ninth level of the Blood Sea Demon Art was not the end; there were higher realms awaiting him.

All of this was due to the infinite possibilities of the system…

The figure in the void frowned slightly; she sensed a terrifying aura from Lin Fan, a very mysterious aura. She wondered what technique he was cultivating that had such marvelous effects.

Lin Fan did not delve deeper; he stood up and looked directly at the figure in the void.

“Who are you?” Lin Fan asked.

“It's been a while; have you forgotten me?” The person hidden under the black robe pulled it down, revealing her true face.

“It's you…” Seeing the figure before him, Lin Fan suddenly remembered—wasn't this the woman who had paid the entrance fee for him when he went to the Burial Sea Demon Land?

Back then, he felt she was hiding her true strength, but he didn't expect she was truly capable.

But wasn't she in Dongling Continent? How could she come to Cangling Continent?

If not for the fact that there was only one Supreme Token, he would have thought she also had one.

“Let me reintroduce myself: Ye Han, the twelfth-floor master of the Blood Kill Pavilion.”

“Oh, the Blood Kill Pavilion. I do have some history with your Blood Kill Pavilion.” Lin Fan said with a smile, while also using the system to investigate her.

Upon investigation, Lin Fan's brows furrowed.

“You broke through the barrier of Dongling Continent?” Lin Fan was now increasingly puzzled.

Dongling Continent had a barrier; anyone whose cultivation reached the Great Perfection of the Great Heaven Realm could no longer advance. But this Ye Han had actually broken through that limit and entered the Supreme Heaven Realm.

“Didn't you also break through the world's barrier?” Ye Han's light smile was enchanting, but the faint blood aura emanating from her was somewhat chilling.

This was a ruthless character, not to be underestimated.

“What do you want from me?” Lin Fan glanced at her, not wanting to have any dealings with her.

“I want to cooperate with you.” Ye Han smiled lightly, appearing very gentle, but these were all surface illusions; anyone who underestimated her would not even know how they died.

“No need for cooperation; I'm used to working alone.” Lin Fan refused decisively.

“No, for the safety of the Xuanhuang Realm, I think you need to cooperate, and I also need a helper.” Ye Han looked at Lin Fan and said.

“No, you have the scent of the Blood Realm…” At this moment, Lin Fan's expression changed; his keen sense of smell detected something different about Ye Han.

Ye Han chuckled softly, “You really are different; you can even detect that.”

“Oh, I see. You didn't break through the barrier of Dongling Continent; you went to the Blood Realm, communicated with its origin, and used the power of that world to break through your original realm. And you were able to come here by penetrating the Blood Realm and then arriving here.”

At this moment, Lin Fan finally understood why the Blood Demon Emperor had said someone had communicated with the Blood Realm's origin; it was this Ye Han.

“That's right. I sincerely came to seek your cooperation. Since you've figured it out yourself, I won't say more. Now, the Heavenly Dao of Dongling Continent is no longer what it used to be; I think you can feel that. The reason I came this time is to tell you something concerning the safety of Dongling Continent.” Ye Han said.

“Go ahead, I'm listening.” Lin Fan said.

Ye Han frowned slightly. How could this person have no sense of urgency? But never mind; among those in Dongling Continent, only he could match her.

“A year ago, the Heavenly Dao found me and made a deal with me…” Ye Han began to chatter in Lin Fan's ear.

Lin Fan listened drowsily; it wasn't that the story wasn't thrilling, but after hearing it all, he still couldn't see how it related to him.

…

“Stop, stop… Don't say anymore. You've said so much, and I still don't know what you're trying to say. Can you get to the point?” Lin Fan waved his hand and said.

Ye Han cast a resentful glance at Lin Fan. In all these years, this was the first time she had spoken so much to someone, yet he wouldn't let her finish. She felt a little disappointed, then spoke.

“I think a great conspiracy will occur in the near future.”

Lin Fan sighed. Another woman with delusions.

To put it in one phrase: “There's always a traitor plotting against me.”
