108: Chapter 108 Inventorying the Spoils! A Decree from the Upper Realm? Use it to clean your blade!

Da Qian Imperial City, deep within the Taihe Hall.

Five whole days had passed since the shocking “True Dragon Plaza Grand Unification” that shook the Central Province.

During these five days, the cultivation world outside had been turned upside down.

The thirty-six Hidden Families obediently handed over seventy percent of their assets, and the Zhengdao Alliance disbanded and merged into the newly established **[Demon Venerable Pavilion]**.

Lin Que, this name, had completely become the sole myth of the Central Province Continent.

But at this moment, this mythical figure was sitting unceremoniously on a large bed in the Taihe Hall, covered with the fur of a ninth-tier Yao Beast, staring blankly at the Storage Rings scattered all over the floor.

“One thousand eight hundred High Grade Spiritual Veins... fifty thousand Millennium Spirit Medicines... three thousand various Top-Grade Magic Treasures...”

Su Qingyu sat on a small mountain of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, holding a thick ledger, calculating with sweat pouring down her face. Even her originally ethereal and transcendent Innate Dao Body was now tainted with the smell of money.

“Young Master Lin, the Hidden Families' foundations are too terrifying. The Wang Family even handed over control of three ancient Secret Realms!”

Su Qingyu rubbed her sore wrists, her eyes filled with excited light.

“These old foxes, like Pixiu, only took in and never let out for ten thousand years. How could they not be rich?”

Lin Que yawned lazily, casually grabbing a handful of sixth-tier Top-Grade Medicinal Pills, the [Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill], and munched on them like candy, “crunch, crunch.”

Having just broken through to the Middle Stage Nascent Soul and then experiencing continuous battles, Lin Que was not in a hurry to go out and cause trouble.

A string stretched too tightly easily breaks. What he needed most now was to digest these massive resources.

“Hmm? What is this?”

As Lin Que rummaged through Elder Wang's special storage ring, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a black iron box in the corner, covered with ninety-nine Talismans.

He casually wiped away the Seal on it.

Click.

The moment the iron box opened, a vast, ancient aura, filled with endless brutality and slaughter, swept through the entire Taihe Hall like a hurricane!

The pillars in the great hall, made of millennium-oldDriftwood, actually emitted cracking sounds under the impact of this aura, unable to bear the weight.

In the center of the iron box, a fist-sized drop of blood, as black as ink, quietly floated.

Within the blood, an ancient Vicious Beast, with two wings on its back and resembling a fierce tiger, vaguely roared up to the sky!

“Primordial Qiongqi?!”

Su Qingyu exclaimed, feeling a sudden difficulty in breathing.

“The Wang Family actually hid a drop of the Primordial Four Fiends' Qiongqi's True Blood! Ancient records say this is the supreme sacred object Body Cultivators dream of! A single drop is enough to completely transform one's Physical Body!”

But then, she grew worried:

“But Young Master Lin, this blood contains the Qiongqi's destructive malevolent resentment. If forcibly refined, it's extremely easy for this resentment to destroy one's mind, leading to Qi Deviation and turning into a monster that only knows slaughter!”

“Qi Deviation? Monster?”

Lin Que looked at the violent Qiongqi True Blood, the purple-gold light in his eyes growing even brighter.

His Undying Blood Body (Demon God Body) had already emitted an extremely eager hum upon sensing this drop of great demon True Blood.

“Green Fish, step back. Go to the side hall and help me sort those few boxes of High Grade Spiritual Artifacts. I'll handle things here.”

Lin Que waved his hand.

After Su Qingyu left, Lin Que sat cross-legged, and without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and fiercely inhaled!

“Roar—!!”

That drop of Qiongqi True Blood let out an arrogant roar, transforming into a black light, and directly rushed into Lin Que's mouth!

“Boom!”

The instant the True Blood entered his body, a terrifying high temperature and violent power, as if to tear apart his internal organs, exploded in Lin Que's Dantian.

Vaguely, a phantom of an ancient Qiongqi condensed in Lin Que's Sea of Consciousness, opening its bloody maw, attempting to devour Lin Que's Divine Soul! This was the undying will of the Primordial Great Demon, and also the most fatal poison of this drop of blood!

But Lin Que didn't even frown, merely snapping his fingers lazily in his mind.

“System, get to work. This thing is a bit tough to chew, help me debone it.”

[High-dimensional biological energy source (Primordial Qiongqi True Blood) detected entering the body!]

[Analysis: Contains massive physical essence and fatal "malevolent resentment/Possession will."]

[Logic reorganization initiated—fully automatic water purifier mode (discard the dross, extract the essence)!]

[Operation 1: Intercept the "pure physical energy and ancient Laws" in the Qiongqi True Blood and import them into the host's Blood Scripture operation route!]

[Operation 2: Strip away the "malevolent resentment and Possession will" and throw them into the host's Dantian's "four-colored divine demon nascent soul" for physical incineration!]

[Multiplier: Perfect absorption, zero side effects!]

“Behave, and turn into nourishment!”

With the System's forced intervention, the Qiongqi phantom in Lin Que's Sea of Consciousness, which was still baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, suddenly let out a mournful shriek.

Whoosh—!

The **Four-Colored Exotic Fire (purple, white, red, gold)** within Lin Que instantly transformed into a giant furnace, tightly enveloping that violent will!

In less than half a breath, the Vicious Beast's will, which was enough to cause a Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivator to suffer Qi Deviation, was burned into a wisp of pure Mental Energy, feeding back into Lin Que's God-Demon Nascent Soul.

And the Qiongqi True Blood, having lost its dominant will, instantly became incredibly docile.

The **Blood Scripture** furiously circulated!

Black ancient demon patterns began to appear on Lin Que's purple-gold skin. These demon patterns intertwined and fused with the demon patterns of the Heavenly Devil. His muscle fibers were tearing and reorganizing, and his bones became tougher than ten-thousand-year profound iron.

[Primordial Qiongqi True Blood devoured complete!]

[Blood Scripture foundation greatly enhanced!]

[Undying Blood Body (Demon God Body) advanced: Major Achievement Realm (Physical Body strength completely stabilized at Half-Step Soul Transformation Peak, arm regeneration speed increased tenfold, immune to all poisons and curses below seventh-tier)!]

“Hoo...”

Lin Que slowly opened his eyes and let out a long, turbid breath.

This turbid breath condensed into a black Qi arrow in the air, and with a “poof,” it actually directly pierced through a thousand-jin stone lion outside the Taihe Hall, turning it into powder!

“As expected of the blood of the Primordial Four Fiends, it's potent.”

Lin Que clenched his fist.

Now, although his Realm was still Middle Stage Nascent Soul, with this Major Achievement Demon God Body, even if he stood still and let a Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator hack at him with a Top-Grade Magic Treasure, they wouldn't be able to break his defense!

This was the accumulation of his foundation.

Lin Que stood up, just about to go to the side hall to see how Su Qingyu was doing with the accounts.

Suddenly.

Buzz—Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Without any warning, the entire Da Qian Imperial City, and even the sky of the entire Central Province Continent, violently trembled!

The originally clear, cloudless sky, in just three breaths, turned into a suffocating, brilliant pure gold! This gold was not the Lower Realm Imperial Dynasty Luck of an old emperor, but a high and mighty, disdainful light of Immortal Dao Law!

“Crack!”

At the Peak of the firmament, the Void Realm shattered like a mirror.

A massive decree, ten thousand zhang long, entirely woven from Immortal gold divine patterns, slowly descended from the Void Realmcrack.

Before the decree unfolded, an supreme pressure that made Souls tremble had already pressed down like a tangible weight!

Within the entire Imperial City, millions of Cultivators, whether Qi Refinement Stage or Golden Core Stage, at this moment, their knees uncontrollably slammed to the ground, trembling all over, as if awaiting divine judgment!

“What's going on?! Such terrifying pressure!”

Su Qingyu in the side hall was also forced pale by this pressure, barely holding onto the door frame to avoid kneeling.

Lin Que walked out of the Taihe Hall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the golden decree spanning the sky, the purple fire in his left eye suddenly flickering.

He recognized that aura.

This was precisely the owner of the storage ring Restriction that he had “reverse-exploded” with the System a few days ago in the Extreme North Ice Field! That “Harvester” from the Upper Realm!

Clearly, that Upper Realm big shot couldn't swallow the indignation of having his Divine Soul injured by a Lower Realm ant. Although his true body couldn't descend three years in advance, he forcibly sent down an **[Immortal Severing Edict]** across endless Star Domains to test and establish his authority!

“Lower Realm sinner Lin Que—!”

A grand, indifferent voice, as if devoid of any human emotion, emanated from the ten-thousand-zhang decree, like rolling heavenly thunder, resounding throughout the Central Province.

“Stealing Upper Realm sacred objects, destroying and defying Immortal Dao Restrictions.”

“Unforgivable! Your nine clans shall be exterminated!”

“This Immortal, considering your first offense, grants you a path to survival. Immediately cripple your cultivation, kneel and receive the decree, and serve as a slave for thirty thousand years to atone for your sins!”

“If you disobey, three years from now, Immortal Punishment will descend, and the Central Province will be annihilated!”

“Boom!”

As the voice fell, the decree erupted with ten thousand zhang of golden light, and that pressure instantly surged tenfold, locking directly onto the Taihe Hall where Lin Que was! This was pure Law suppression; even an old monster at the Early Stage Soul Transformation Realm would have to bow their head under this “pseudo-Immortal Dao” pressure.

“Young Master Lin...”

Su Qingyu tightly gripped her sword, her eyes filled with despair.

The Upper Realm, that was the legendary place where Immortals resided.

How could Mortals contend against such might?

However.

Enduring this terrifying pressure that made heaven and earth lose their color.

Lin Que stood on the white jade steps, not only did he not kneel, but he slowly and leisurely drew out the quasi-Immortal Artifact, starfall, from behind his back, its entire body covered in galaxy patterns.

“An Upper Realm decree?”

Lin Que extended his left pinky finger, picked his ear, and then, facing the ten-thousand-zhang decree in the sky, revealed a smile of extreme arrogance and haughtiness to the core:

“The writing is ugly, but the tone isn't small.”

“Make me kneel and receive it?”

Within Lin Que, the Demon God Body, which had just been strengthened to Major Achievement, burst forth with a roar of Qi and blood, transforming into a purple-gold demon shadow hundreds of zhang tall, forcefully pushing open the oppressive Immortal Dao pressure!

Immediately after.

Lin Que gripped his blade with both hands, and the four-colored divine demon nascent soul within him let out a sky-shaking roar.

There were no complicated Moves, just the purest draw and upward slash!

“I'd find it too hard to even use it to sharpen my blade!!”

Swish—!!!

A brilliant, dazzling blade light, fused with four exotic fires, shot up into the sky!

This strike carried all the immense physical strength of Lin Que's Major Achievement Demon God Body, and furthermore, it was imbued with the “Space-Piercing Armor” Law awakened after [starfall] advanced to a quasi-Immortal Artifact!

Under the horrified gazes of countless people in the entire city.

That purple-gold blade light directly tore through the firmament, fiercely striking the arrogant golden decree!

“Rip!”

A crisp sound of ripping cloth echoed throughout heaven and earth.

That [Immortal Severing Edict], which represented the majesty of the Upper Realm gods and was said to be indestructible.

Was actually, by Lin Que's single strike, split into two halves right down the middle!

The golden Immortal Dao light exploded in the sky, transforming into a magnificent meteor shower, dissipating into nothingness.

Amidst the showering golden light.

Lin Que held the blade in reverse, its tip pointing diagonally to the ground.

He raised his head, his gaze seemingly penetrating endless Star Domains, directly staring at the high and mighty Harvester.

Lin Que's voice was not loud, but it carried a domineering aura that made this heaven and earth submit:

“Three years from now, you won't need to descend.”

“I...”

“Will personally go up and kill you all!!!”
