Cultivation Begins with Skill Points - Chapter 532 - 533 Blood Demon Gao Ran

Chapter 532: Chapter 533 Blood Demon Gao Ran
The entire Blood Cave is like a fleshly placenta, twisting and writhing incessantly, emitting a constant thumping sound, each beat like a heart causing unease.
Suddenly, a large piece of flesh in front of him lifted up, transforming into a large, blood-red mouth, with sinister white bone-like teeth emerging, ready to bite him.
“What the hell is this?”
Zhong Lin traced his finger through the void, a sharp sword light flashed, instantly severing the blood-red mouth formed of flesh.
But in the next moment, a strong gust of wind surged through the entire flesh placenta, causing all the writhing flesh to intensify. Blood-red mouths appeared all over the flesh walls and floor, rising and falling, the terrifying force so strong even a Life and Death Realm expert would be shattered to pieces.
Zhong Lin frowned slightly. Though the power of this flesh placenta was immense, it posed no danger to him; it merely looked extremely disgusting. What piqued his curiosity was the secret hidden within.
He stomped fiercely, took a deep breath, and shouted powerfully. Immediately, a thunderous roar that shook the firmament erupted, blasting all the blood-red mouths into pieces.
Before Zhong Lin could relax, from the depths of the flesh placenta, a formidable force emanated, and a scarlet fist, exuding unparalleled majesty, descended before him.
The fist trembled, unleashing a power that seemed to exhaust the heavens. It enveloped Zhong Lin’s entire body.
Confronted with this sudden terrifying punch, Zhong Lin didn’t panic; instead, a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Fist Intent.
The fist carried a strong Fist Intent, signifying someone in the Blood Cave, which suggested the possibility of communication.
“Hahaha, bring it on.”
Zhong Lin laughed heartily, his palm slowly extending, Qi-Blood light shook the sky, strands of golden light drifted about.
A vast, indescribable force assembled into a giant palm, shaking in all directions, suddenly grasping that blood-colored fist as large as a Divine Mountain.
Bang!
A dull collision sound echoed throughout the Blood Cave, yet there wasn’t a trace of Primordial Qi detonation.
The entire force contained within the blood-colored fist didn’t even budge Zhong Lin an inch.
“Impossible, impossible! How can there be such a powerful person on Xuan Gui Continent? Who are you?”
A voice filled with shock came from deep within the flesh placenta.
“Found you.”
Zhong Lin, through this voice, pinpointed the location, with a slash in the void, countless waves of flesh parted like the sea, revealing a massive passage.
Zhong Lin boldly stepped in, feeling the space shift, a massive cave loomed before his eyes.
In the center of the cave sat a blood-colored figure, bound by eighteen baby-arm-thick chains, extending to the stone walls. The chains were densely inscribed with various runes, firmly sealing the blood-colored figure in place, unable to move.
“I recognize your aura.”
Before Zhong Lin could speak, the blood-colored figure spoke first: “You came here thirteen years ago, but back then you had just condensed your Spiritual Origin. How did you do it?”
Zhong Lin understood the blood-colored figure was asking how he managed to leap from the Spiritual Origin Realm to become a great master of the Ninth Layer Heaven of the Life and Death Realm in just a decade.
Zhong Lin didn’t answer but scrutinized the blood-colored figure closely.
The figure sealed here was a middle-aged man, his clothes ragged, appearing disheveled and unkempt, yet his eyes were exceptionally bright, exuding a thick bloody aura.
The aura was extremely weak, but Zhong Lin could perceive the eighteen chains perpetually siphoning force from him, channeling it to the stone corridor, ultimately dissipating into the void.
This scene illuminated for Zhong Lin how the perpetual Blood Evil Qi outside was formed.
It was an incredibly clever, vicious seal, imprisoning this man without access to any Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and inversely siphoning his power, dispersing it into the world.
This meant that given enough time, the sealed individual could only watch as his power dripped away until it was wholly extinguished.
“Before you ask others, shouldn’t you first introduce yourself?” Zhong Lin’s voice was chilling.
Rustle!
The blood-colored figure rattled the chains on his body: “As you see, a child of the Demon Sect, sealed here by your Righteous Path people.”
“You’re quite candid.”
“What difference does it make if I’m not? This bloody aura of mine can’t be faked, and besides, killing me would be effortless with your cultivation. But before I die, can you tell me how you did it?” The blood-colored figure’s eyes burned as they fixed on Zhong Lin.
“Of course, it’s all due to my unmatched talent. What else could it be?” Zhong Lin replied.
“…”
The blood-colored figure looked at Zhong Lin incredulously, having encountered many Righteous Path followers, but never one so shameless.
“Reveal your name, and give me a reason not to kill you.”
“I am Blood Demon Gao Ran, an Elder of the Nine Nether Sacred Land. If you want to kill, kill. If I wrinkle my brow, it would be disgraceful to the two eggs I’ve got down there.” Gao Ran declared proudly.
Zhong Lin looked at the upright and fearless Gao Ran with disdain: “When did Demon Sect brats become so principled? Next time you try to play tricks, make sure it suits your style.”
“Hmph! I’ve lived my life with a clear conscience, what’s the harm in death? Our Sect Hierarch will avenge me. Don’t think everyone clings to life like your Righteous Path leeches. Go on, kill me, take my head and advance your status. If I flinch, I’d be your pet’s sire.”
Gao Ran’s eyes widened, and hair stood on end, exuding an overbearing, ferocious aura.
Zhong Lin said nothing, walking to a chain on the side, tapping it with his finger.
With each tap, runes as small as fly heads surfaced on the chains, interconnected, forming an enormous array, tightly sealing Gao Ran within.
“Sealing God Capturing Thought Devouring Element Array, my, my, who did you piss off back then? To be dealt with using such an array? Sealing God, Capturing Thought, Devouring Essence, intending to make you watch yourself perish bit by bit, powerless to resist. Any struggle only feeds the array, growing stronger, and the only way to break it is through external force. Am I right?”
Zhong Lin’s voice was leisurely, and just moments ago, the righteously filled Gao Ran suddenly dropped his guise, his face brimming with viciousness and madness.
“Ah…”
“Kill, kill you, kill you.”
“Let me out, let me out.”
Gao Ran suddenly erupted, his face twisted and contorted, constantly struggling to break free from the chains.
