After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

"Die!"

Zhou Ran looked up.

The nascent soul sits cross-legged over the dantian.

The Purple and Gold Laws unfolded.

"kneel."

A single word was uttered.

There was a moment of complete silence.

The black river ritual pattern on the bone shard is still burning.

The faces of the dead behind him were still howling.

He raised his fist and unleashed his divine aura at Zhou Ran.

Then--

His right knee suddenly bent.

boom!

His knee slammed into the ground.

The smile on Bone Cutter's face froze.

He looked down at his legs.

No, that's not right.

He was the chief hunter of the Heihe tribe.

He is a high-level deity.

He had stepped over the bones of countless lifeless people.

Why would he kneel?

Zhou Ran stood still, his expression calm.

"Another one."

boom!

Gu Chuan's left knee then knelt down.

The ground is cracked.

The eyes that had grown on the Black River warriors all stopped moving.

The person inside the cave, who was completely still, watched this scene and forgot to even catch their breath.

Yan gripped the bone spear, his knuckles turning blue.

She had seen the Bone Cave.

I've seen him tear open the skin on the back of a breathless person.

I've seen him grind human bones into needles.

I've never seen Bone Cutter kneel down.

The veins on Bone Cutter's neck bulged, and his nine breath patterns twisted wildly, trying to lift him off the ground.

He roared, "What did you do to me?"

Zhou Ran walked towards him.

"It's nothing."

"There is no Heavenly Dao of Blue Star here."

"The laws of your virtual realm are too fragmented."

"I just broke through, and my hands are itching to get started."

He stopped in front of the bone.

"Try it on me."

A fierce glint flashed in Bone Cutter's eyes.

He opened his mouth and spat out a jet of black river water.

The water arrow contained fragments of Breath Pattern and Void Realm Poison.

Zhou Ran raised his hand.

"water?"

"Then the water is really good."

The water jet went limp in mid-air.

Splash!

A handful of foul-smelling black water was splashed on the ground.

Zhou Ran frowned.

"The taste is quite strong."

Gu Ke's pupils contracted.

The opponent did not block his technique.

It is a change in the definition of technique.

The water rocket was not destroyed.

It was ordered to be turned into ordinary water.

Bone Claw twisted its head and roared to the sky.

"Heihe Lock!"

The phantom of the Black River behind him surged.

Hundreds of deep blue chains emerged from the riverbed, densely coiling towards Zhou Ran.

Each chain is inlaid with the face of a silent person.

Those faces opened their mouths, biting at Zhou Ran's nascent soul aura.

Yan exclaimed in surprise:

Don't touch it!

That's the Soul-Stripping Lock!

Zhou Ran kept walking.

The chains fell.

He simply raised his hand.

The idealistic laws of the Nascent Soul stage spread out.

Splash!

Hundreds of soul-stripping chains simultaneously broke in mid-air.

The deep blue iron chains transformed into a torrential downpour.

Rainwater splattered on the ground, splashing up foul-smelling mud.

The face trapped in the chains briefly appeared.

They looked at Zhou Ran blankly.

A flash of the Forgotten River Mark appeared between Zhou Ran's brows.

"Forget the constraints."

A pale yellow light swept across.

Faces rose from the black water, turning into faint specks of light.

One of the points of light drifted to the inkstone.

Yan's body stiffened.

It was the face of a young man.

The facial features were already blurred.

But she still recognized her.

"elder brother……"

The light spot couldn't speak; it simply circled her once and then dissipated.

Yan lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.

There was no crying, only the bone spear cracking in her palm.

As Bone Cutter watched the Black River Ritual Mark being broken, fear finally showed in his eyes.

"What exactly are you?"

Zhou Ran took a step forward, and the space beneath his feet shortened.

The fourth level of the Primordial Overlord Body allowed his physical body to truly adapt to the immense pressure of the void realm for the first time.

This step doesn't rely on body techniques.

It's about shrinking the distance to an inch.

Bone Sha was still kneeling when Zhou Ran was already right in front of his face.

"What am I?"

Bone Claw roared, biting his tongue to pieces.

Blood sprayed onto the nine breath patterns.

His knees burst into a spray of blood, forcefully blurring the definition of "kneeling".

A transformed deity is ultimately just a transformed deity.

Even when suppressed by the rules, one can still fight to the death with blood and flesh.

Zhou Ran guessed that his rules were only effective against Nascent Soul cultivators at best.

Immediately, he clasped his hands together, and the nine breath patterns on his chest merged into one, transforming into a deep blue vertical eye.

As soon as the vertical eye appeared, the gray mist outside the cave was sucked in.

Yan's expression changed.

"Back off!"

"That's a divine eye bestowed by the priests of the Black River tribe!"

"It can drag people into the upper-level rules mountain range!"

Bone Cutter's face was covered in blood, his throat was cracked, and he was laughing hysterically.

"You can change the rules of the interest-free land."

"Can you change the eyes of the higher-ups?"

The deep blue vertical eyes opened.

A pulling force enveloped Zhou Ran.

The surrounding environment began to deform.

The gray fog receded silently.

A vibrant, green river emerges on the horizon.

There are high walls and bone towers on the riverbank.

There was a lifeless human corpse hanging from the tower.

The old stronghold of the Heihe tribe.

Zhou Ran glanced at it and smiled.

"Thank you for navigation."

Bone Sha's expression changed.

Zhou Ran raised her hand and clasped her fingers around his chest, where he had a deep blue vertical eye.

"I was just worried about not being able to find your house."

The bone shard wanted to retreat, but found it couldn't.

The Asura Demon Flame ignited in Zhou Ran's palm.

The power of the Black and White Impermanence entered the vertical eye along with the flames.

"Soul Snatcher".

This time, it wasn't just gray symbols that were highlighted.

There's also the law imprint planted by the high priest in the Bone Shake's sea of ​​consciousness.

The mark is shaped like a token.

One side is engraved with the Black River.

One side is engraved with vitality.

Zhou Ran's eyes flickered.

"A Lifeline Token?"

My throat was torn.

"No!"

Zhou Ran tightened his five fingers.

Click.

The deep blue vertical eye shattered.

The Asura Demon Fire poured into the Bone Cutter's skull through the gap.

The power of the Black and White Impermanence entered directly into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Just as the Bone Cutter's soul was about to flee, it was captured by the River of Oblivion.

"Being trapped in a maze" or "being surrounded by ghosts".

The soul remained frozen in place.

The force of the Great Wilderness Fist then blasted in.

The skull of the Bone Cutter exploded, burning into black ash from the inside out.

His Nascent Soul aura was severed.

His tall body knelt on the spot.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

In the third breath, Bone Sha's entire body turned to ashes, scattering in the cold wind of the Silent Land.

The inhabitant of Huashen died.

Outside the cave, the eyeballs on the twelve Black River warriors also went out at the same time.

They were so badly burned that they were left with only a layer of rotten skin, lying on the ground convulsing.

Zhou Ran waved his hand, and the Asura Demon Fire swept across, burning everything to ashes.

Only one dark blue token remained on the ground.

There was also the giant white bone pestle that had split in two at the bone shard.

Zhou Ran bent down and picked up the token.

I got the token, but it was all for naught.

It is teeming with life.

It's not spiritual energy.

It is the authority certificate for the upper-level tribes of the virtual world to control the River of Life.

Yan stood still, gazing at the token.

My breathing quickened a little.

She knew what it was.

Order to hunt down the Black River tribe.

Holding this order will allow you to open the life-giving wells on the outskirts of the Heihe region.

That's something even the most fearless person wouldn't dare touch.

Zhou Ran turned around and tossed the token to her.

He instinctively caught the inkstone.

The moment she got the token, all the energy patterns on her body lit up.

The black runes at the severed arm began to slowly heal.

Inside the cave, all the people knelt down in silence.

No one forced them to kneel; they knelt down on their own.

Ashi was the first to kowtow.

"Master Key..."

Zhou Ran frowned.

"Don't call me that."

Ashi didn't dare to respond.

Yan held the token and looked up at him.

"You killed Bone Cutter."

"More people will be coming from the Heihe region."

"Priest, Warchief, Gray-Eyed Squad."

"They won't let this place go."

"That saves trouble."

Zhou Ran stretched his shoulder, which had just recovered.

"Searching one by one is too slow."

Yan fell silent.

She looked at Zhou Ran, truly examining him for the first time.

"Are you trying to escape?"

Zhou Ran smiled.

"escape?"

He pointed to the token in her hand.

"I just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Why would you run away from a situation like this?"

He looked up into the gray fog.

The illusory image of the river of life in the distance has disappeared.

But the coordinates remained in his nascent soul.

Black River Tribe, River of Life, Gray-Eyed Hunter, Legend of the Heart Gate.

One line, and they're all connected.

Zhou Ran looked at the inkstone.

"lead the way."

Yan was taken aback.

"Where to?"

Zhou Ran walked out of the gray fog.

The black and gold scales disappeared piece by piece from his body.

The Purple and Gold Law unfolds beneath your feet.

"Go to their lair."

He paused, then turned to look at the cave filled with lifeless people.

"I'm going there to collect interest."
