Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"Yes, originally I thought it fell from the Infinite Heavens, but during this time, I have never found any trace of either The Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique or the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal," Chu Qin nodded, "and I have also been unable to comprehend The Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique."

"It seems that in this world, perhaps beyond the Infinite Heavens, there may indeed exist an even vaster realm of laws!" The Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign sighed as he looked at the white clouds above the statue of the Lord of the Blood Demon Fiend.

"Right, Blood Dragon Venerable, didn't you say you've seen the Supreme Azure Dragon Seal?" Chu Qin asked.

"You didn't mention it, I almost forgot. Since you're going to the Sanctuary, you might as well search the Spirit Library Pavilion in the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary, that's where I saw it in a book," the Blood Dragon Venerable nodded.

"Hmm!" Chu Qin nodded, and then his palm stretched out, and in an instant, the statue of the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend entered into Chu Qin's ring, "Taking this statue with me might be useful!"

"Boom!"

At that moment, outside of Grand Pass, a thunderous explosion sounded.

"Who dares to break into Blood Demon City while I am resting!" Following that, an elder voice, like a great bell, rang out.

"The Blood Fiend Celestial Venerate!" The Blood Dragon Venerable and the Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Can you two seniors discern his realm?"

"He should be a third-class Celestial Venerate, not too strong," said the Blood Dragon Venerable, "He shouldn't be your match!"

"Good, I'm relieved."

As soon as Chu Qin's words fell, he rushed out of the great hall.

At that moment, in front of Chu Qin, a blaze of blood light ignited.

Within the blood light, an old man stood.

The old man, with blood-red hair, eyebrows, beard, and pupils.

"Who are you?" Chu Qin asked calmly.

"Trespassing Blood Demon Holy City, die!" The old man with blood-red hair didn't waste any words. As soon as he finished speaking, the blood light around him swelled instantly.

Suddenly, this blood light formed a terrifying blood-red ghost shadow that rushed toward Chu Qin.

Chu Qin was not to be outdone; he pushed his palm forward, and the Dragon of the Heavenly Venerate, the Demon Dragon, and the Buddha Dragon faced the blood-red ghost shadow head-on!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a super loud noise, the blood-red ghost shadow and the three supreme dragons collided in mid-air.

If it were the outside world, the clash of two great Celestial Venerates would surely be a devastating strike. Yet on this ancient road, the energy spilled from the two was instantly devoured by the mysterious crimson substance below!

And in an instant, the blood-red ghost shadow shattered the three supreme dragons.

The old man with blood-red hair was a third-class Celestial Venerate indeed, but don't forget, Chu Qin was just an avatar.

In a blink, the blood-red ghost shadow continued forth, shattering Chu Qin's avatar!

"Insignificant!" The old man with blood-red hair scoffed coldly.

However, the next second, his face changed in shock as he saw a golden longsword carrying invincible might charging at him.

"Blood Shadow Spirit Shield!"

The old man with blood-red hair didn't expect another enemy to be present, and he immediately condensed all his Celestial Venerate power to form a shield in front of him.

What the old man with blood-red hair didn't expect was that this strike was made by Chu Qin's true self.

After reaching the Pseudo Celestial Venerable Realm, Chu Qin's strength had soared rapidly, and in an instant, the old man's shield was directly broken through.

However, as the Lord of the Blood Demon Fiend, the old man with blood-red hair wouldn't fall so easily. As the Primordial True Sword stabbed at him, the Blood Fiend Celestial Venerate turned into countless blood-colored bats, evading the strongest blow of the Primordial True Sword.

The old man who was hurt by the aftermath turned back to his original form, yet he was not harmed at the core.

Before the old man with blood-red hair could catch his breath, a golden light streaked across the sky, and a figure holding a black and gold mace was already smashing down on him again.

"What?" The old man with blood-red hair was startled by the person who took the action, it was Chu Qin whom he had just killed.

"Bang!"

The old man with blood-red hair's hasty defense led to an expected outcome.

With Chu Qin's strength surpassing a third-class Celestial Venerate after advancing to the Pseudo Celestial Venerable, let alone when the old man with blood-red hair was injured.

In an instant, the mace landed on the old man with blood-red hair's forehead, causing him severe damage and causing him to fall onto the roof of a palace.

The old man with blood-red hair wanted to attack again, but Chu Qin's black and gold mace was already against his forehead.

At the same time, the Primordial True Sword also flew over on its own, pointing directly at the old man's throat!

"Don't, don't kill me!" the old man with blood-red hair cried out in sheer terror.

"If you want to live, answer my questions!" Chu Qin said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I'll say everything I know!" the old man with blood-red hair said, terrified.

"Who are you?" asked Chu Qin.

"Blood Fiend Domain Lord, Blood Roar!" the old man with blood-red hair said, trembling.

"What are you doing here?"

"Tasked with guarding this Blood Fiend stronghold!" Blood Roar said, daring not hide anything.

"A Blood Fiend stronghold?" Chu Qin was slightly surprised, "So you're saying, you have many such strongholds?"

"Yes!" Blood Roar replied, "About eighty strongholds, each guarded by a Celestial Venerate."

Chu Qin, Zhen Yuan, and the Blood Dragon Venerable were all taken aback.

Eighty strongholds, that means eighty Celestial Venerates!

"Isn't the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend dead?" Chu Qin continued to ask.

"The Blood Demon Fiend does not perish; we are waiting for the resurrection of the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend!" Blood Roar replied, "About a hundred years from now, the Lord will be resurrected, and these strongholds will be the basis for our resurgence!"

"Tell me, do you know who killed your Lord of Blood Demon Fiend?" Chu Qin asked.

"I don't know, the strongholds are independent of each other. Once you enter a stronghold, you can never leave and can only wait for instructions from our Lord of Blood Demon Fiend." Blood Roar shook his head, "I don't know who killed the Lord."

"What's the purpose of your return? I just looked at that statue; your ultimate goal can't possibly be the Infinite Heavens, can it!" Chu Qin pressed on with his questions.

"The Lord of Blood Demon Fiend did not say," he just said that Infinite Heavens can't satisfy his ambition, that he wants to take all the Blood Demon Fiends, break into the Upper Realm, and slaughter the Celestial Immortals!" Blood Roar firmly declared.

"Upper Realm? Celestial Immortals?" Chu Qin's eyes slightly narrowed, "Is it the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary?"

"The Mountain and Sea Sanctuary is crap, just a bunch of lowly races!" Blood Roar replied, "What I want is to cut down the immortals and exterminate all the Immortal Emperors!"

"What did you say?" Blood Dragon Venerable bellowed angrily.

"My Lord, please calm your anger. A Blood Demon Fiend asked the same question, and that was exactly how the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend replied!" Blood Roar said, trembling.

,"Did he say how to enter the Upper Realm?" Chu Qin was greatly interested in this so-called Upper Realm.

"No!" Blood Roar shook his head, "The Lord of Blood Demon Fiend said that to enter the Upper Realm, one is still lacking an opportunity."

"Very well, you can die now!" As soon as Chu Qin finished speaking, the Primordial True Sword did not hesitate to stab towards Blood Roar.

"You said you wouldn't kill me!"

Blood Roar, in a moment of despair, lost all his life force!

The physique of a Blood Demon Fiend is not the same as that of a Celestial Venerate in Infinite Heavens; they can be killed.

"I never said that!" Chu Qin said with an indifferent smile.

"Elders, what do you think about this matter?" Chu Qin asked.

"Unbelievable! In the past, we had also interrogated some Blood Demon Fiends, but back then, when the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend was still alive, as soon as we questioned them, the Blood Demon Fiends would explode and die. Now that the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend is dead, we can finally get some clues," Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign sighed.

"It seems, indeed, perhaps Infinite Heavens and Sanctuary were just a starting point for the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend; his true goal is that so-called Upper Realm depicted on the statues!" Blood Dragon Venerable said, "Above our Infinite Heavens, there's an even broader expanse of the Great Dao existing!"

"However, Chu Qin, believe one thing. Although the Great Dao of me and Zhen Yuan may not be as advanced as your Twelve Character Supreme Secret Technique, our paths are definitely at the pinnacle level, and even if there is an Upper Realm, it won't be much stronger than us!" Blood Dragon Venerable added.

The intent of Blood Dragon Venerable was clear,

Firstly, he wanted to tell Chu Qin that he had almost reached the pinnacle.

Otherwise, if Chu Qin suddenly felt like he was worthless, it might disturb his Dao heart.

But could Chu Qin really be that fragile?

Clearly not!

Throughout his journey, the short decade or so had already tempered his Dao heart as strong as steel.

His Dao heart would not be disturbed!

For no matter how powerful the world, don't forget, he was always only in his twenties.

His future held endless possibilities.

Someday, he would become the peak of all the Great Dao!

Secondly, indeed, the Great Dao is nearing its end, and even if there is an Upper Realm, it won't be much stronger than them.

"Chu Qin, no matter what, even if Infinite Heavens is not the final destination for the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend, the idea of using Infinite Heavens as the base for his conquests is absolutely unacceptable!" Zhenyuan Celestial Sovereign continued., "The Upper Realm is vague and elusive, currently only existing in the words of the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend; ultimately, what we protect is our place of existence!"

"It seems, Blood Demon Fiend has hidden its strength; Chu Qin, you need to grow quickly!"

"Hmm, don't worry, Elders. Since I've already decided to kill the Lord of Blood Demon Fiend, no matter what happens, this goal will not change!" Chu Qin responded.

Chu Qin never wasted thoughts on things vague and elusive.

He only focused on what was before him.

His foremost task now was to go to Sanctuary, to find his wife!

"Chu Qin!" At that moment, Long Xue and Li Qingcheng arrived.

"There were no more commotions here, so we came over. Has the battle ended?" Li Qingcheng asked in surprise.

"Just now, was that a Blood Demon Fiend?" Long Xue looked at the Blood Demon Fiend on the ground and was also full of curiosity.

"Yes, it was a Blood Demon Fiend Celestial Venerate, and I've killed him," Chu Qin nodded.

"Was it the one who taught Ying'er the Demonic Arts?" Li Qingcheng said with a face full of anger.

"That seems to be the case," Chu Qin replied, "In the entire city of Blood Demon Fiend, only he alone passed down the Demonic Arts."

"Qiancheng, Xue'er, let's go and continue on!"

"Yes, okay!" Li Qingcheng and Long Xue both nodded in agreement.

Before departing, Chu Qin destroyed Blood Demon City with a sword stroke!

Chu Qin, Li Qingcheng, and Long Xue continued on their journey.

On their way, they encountered no more strongholds like before.

And finally, dawn appeared before them!

Piercing through this dawn, Chu Qin and his companions arrived in a stone chamber.

Here, walls surrounded them on all sides, with only a monolith standing in the center.

"What place is this? Have we left the ancient path and come into the Sanctuary?" Long Xue asked, somewhat puzzled.

"That's right, this is Sanctuary, filled with a familiar scent!" Before Chu Qin could speak, the Blood Dragon Venerable in his mind declared contentedly.

"Yes, we have now entered the Sanctuary." Hearing Blood Dragon Venerable's words, Chu Qin smiled at Li Qingcheng and Long Xue.

"Chu Qin, look, there's a monolith over there!" Li Qingcheng, her beautiful eyes sparkling, pointed to the stone slab.

With curiosity, Chu Qin and his companions immediately approached the monolith.

They were only mildly surprised until they took a closer look.

This monolith turned out to be a tombstone!

The content inscribed on the tombstone shocked all three of them.

"Tomb of the Azure Dragon Venerable of the Mountain and Sea Sanctuary!"

"Azure Dragon?" Li Qingcheng and Long Xue both exclaimed simultaneously.
