Chapter 689: Running Faster Than a Rabbit

Lin Fan took in the Blood Radiance Demon Lord's ruthless methods, knowing that this demon was the most vicious he had ever encountered.

A millennium ago, he was already a powerhouse; after a thousand years, how profound must his foundation have become?

Among the strong just now, there were no lack of Divine Heaven rank eight Earthly Divine Pill cultivators.

Yet in the Blood Radiance Demon Lord's hands, they were like ants.

Among the Divine Heaven rank eight Earthly Divine Pill cultivators, the Cloud Sect Sect Master was considered powerful, but against the Blood Radiance Demon Lord, he probably couldn't even last a single move.

"This is troublesome."

In an instant, Lin Fan's mind shook. The Blood Radiance Demon Lord's eyes, hidden beneath his mask, fixed on him. Those eyes were like a surging sea of blood, in which countless vengeful souls of the strong suffered, screaming heart-wrenchingly.

"Blood Radiance Demon Lord, I'm feeling a bit unwell today. Can we fight another day?" Lin Fan didn't really want to tangle with such a freak.

The Blood Radiance Demon Lord was at Divine Heaven rank nine, the Eight Desolates Unity realm. When he struck, the eight desolates converged—no ordinary foe.

"Human Emperor, you stir up trouble here, affecting my master's grand plan."

"Die!"

A fierce light flickered. The Blood Radiance Demon Lord said nothing more; two red beams shot from his eyes like swords.

"Damn it, Blood Radiance Demon Lord, don't be too fucking arrogant. When I go berserk, even I'm afraid of myself." Starting a fight at the drop of a hat was Lin Fan's style, but now this Blood Radiance Demon Lord was even more arrogant—unbearable.

Lin Fan's figure flickered, his body exploding with power. Countless techniques unfolded instantly—one palm covered the sky, one fist shook the earth. After unifying myriad laws, any technique came naturally, without flaw.

"Blood Radiance Extermination Sword."

The Blood Radiance Demon Lord pointed a finger; a drop of blood shot out, instantly transforming into a red longsword. One slash brought wailing ghosts and surging blood seas, cleaving the entire world in two.

"Well met! Today I'll spar with you." Knowing there was no retreat, Lin Fan instantly fused the ninefold sword intent of the Heavenly Sword, gathering a point of light at his fingertip.

"The pinnacle of the sword way, heaven, earth, and all things."

The ninefold sword intent encompassed everything in heaven and earth, including all of Lin Fan's insights along his journey. One slash sent dazzling light in all directions.

Boom!

A thunderous roar exploded. Lin Fan was forced back dozens of li, a gash torn open on his chest by the Blood Radiance Demon Lord's sword.

Over the gash, blood radiance roiled, sharp and tearing at Lin Fan's body.

Suddenly, a red glow rose on Lin Fan. The Blood Sea Demon Art activated instantly, dispelling the blood radiance.

"So strong—this is a crushing difference in power. My realm is only Divine Heaven rank seven, but my internal mana is thick enough to rival Divine Heaven rank nine. Yet against this Blood Radiance Demon Lord, I still suffered a loss. Just how strong is he?"

Apart from the eight supremes of the Ancient Clan, Lin Fan had never taken any beings from the myriad races seriously. But now, the Blood Radiance Demon Lord had made him suffer a major loss, forcing him to pay attention.

His ability to kill enemies above his level didn't mean no one among the myriad races could do the same.

The Water-Fire Emperor, who could suppress the Ancient Clan supremes, was a prodigy. And now, this Blood Radiance Demon Lord was surely another such prodigy.

His cultivation was deep, his foundation unfathomable.

"Human Emperor, you are indeed strong, but in my eyes, you're nothing but a dead dog. The Ancient Clan supreme Jie Guo is truly weak, toyed with by you, even losing one of his primordial incarnations." The Blood Radiance Demon Lord said coldly.

"Nonsense! Even if I'm a dead dog, you'll die at this dead dog's hands!" Lin Fan roared, and from his body, a ten-thousand-zhang dragon shot forth.

A dragon's roar exploded. The conjured ten-thousand-zhang dragon snarled ferociously, the Eight Dragon Notes activating, an irresistible thunderous sound echoing through the void.

"Hmph, Eight Dragon Notes—overreaching." The Blood Radiance Demon Lord sneered, and a sharp sound burst from his mouth.

Boom!

The ten-thousand-zhang dragon instantly shattered into fragments, returning to Lin Fan's cave heaven.

"Flying Heaven."

Lin Fan's steps were like a dragon's, the power of his cave heaven empowering him. Countless techniques vast as oceans pressed down toward the Blood Radiance Demon Lord.

Whoosh!

Flying Heaven shot into the sky, reversing in the void. In an instant, it appeared behind the Blood Radiance Demon Lord, piercing toward his body.

Clang!

A huge blood-colored hand suddenly appeared, grabbing Flying Heaven.

"Hmph, a mere Dao artifact dares to act insolent before me? Truly seeking death." The Blood Radiance Demon Lord laughed coldly.

"Not good." Lin Fan hadn't expected the Blood Radiance Demon Lord to be so troublesome, even catching Flying Heaven, a veteran of sneak attacks.

What made Lin Fan even more uneasy was that the two artifact spirits within Flying Heaven were being battered by the Blood Radiance Demon Lord's vast power.

"Sacred Yang Pills, burn!"

Without hesitation, Lin Fan instantly burned two hundred million Sacred Yang Pills—a massive fortune. The burn would send Flying Heaven into full frenzy.

The Blood Radiance Demon Lord's brow furrowed. Flying Heaven in his hand spun at high speed, and a tremendous force suddenly erupted from it.

Bang!

The Blood Radiance Demon Lord's palm exploded instantly, and Flying Heaven seized the chance to escape.

"Hmph, burning Sacred Yang Pills—you do have some skill." The Blood Radiance Demon Lord sneered as his exploded palm gradually regenerated.

"I've got plenty of tricks, and you're dead meat." Lin Fan grew serious. This was his first head-on fight with a strong opponent.

Though the Blood Radiance Demon Lord's cultivation was only at Divine Heaven rank nine, the Eight Desolates Unity realm, he could definitely match Divine Heaven rank ten, the Eternal Divine Throne realm.

"Amitabha, benefactor, I've finally found you. How did you get sealed by the blood sea?" Just then, a tiny opening appeared in the vast blood sea seal.

Shakyamuni Venerable shone with Buddha light, like the Tathagata from the West arriving.

"Baldy, this is the Blood Radiance Demon Lord! Why aren't you running?" Lin Fan hadn't expected this baldy to actually catch up.

"Buddha clan." Seeing the newcomer, the Blood Radiance Demon Lord's eyes flashed with fierce malice, as if bearing boundless hatred for the Buddha clan.

"What? Blood Radiance Demon Lord?" Shakyamuni Venerable didn't know what was happening. Hearing this, his heart trembled, and his peaceful little face turned pale.

"Benefactor, I'll leave now. Benefactor Blood Radiance, please continue." Without hesitation, Shakyamuni Venerable turned and fled, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

"Damn!" Seeing this, Lin Fan was dumbfounded. That guy ran so fast! Usually, he couldn't be chased away, but now at the mere mention of the Blood Radiance Demon Lord, he fled in terror.

"Die!" The Blood Radiance Demon Lord's murderous aura was provoked, and he charged at Lin Fan.

"Tch, who dies remains to be seen." Lin Fan cast aside all thoughts, focusing entirely on fighting the Blood Radiance Demon Lord.

…

Shakyamuni Venerable fled all the way, his little heart pounding.

"I can't believe the Blood Radiance Demon Lord isn't dead. How is that possible?" Shakyamuni Venerable couldn't believe what he'd seen. A thousand years ago, he wasn't born, but later he'd read the records.

The Blood Radiance Demon Lord was an unprecedented demon. Three Venerable Buddha powerhouses besieged him, yet he killed one—a major loss for the Buddha clan.

Every Venerable Buddha was a pillar of the Buddha clan; losing even one was a tremendous loss.

"Benefactor Lin is doomed; he'll definitely be killed." Shakyamuni Venerable thought as he fled.

"What should I do?" Shakyamuni Venerable hesitated, unsure.

Encountering such a fierce demon meant certain death; no amount of reinforcements would help.

"This…" Shakyamuni Venerable stopped, gazing at the distant blood sea. Finally, he gritted his teeth. "Fuck it, death be it!"
