Somewhere in the vast Tianxuan Continent, far from the civilized world, a monstrous green mountain pierced through clouds like a colossal beast.
At its peak, space trembled.
Woooosh—
A swirl of black fog condensed and reformed into the sinister middle-aged assassin from the God Slayer Tower.
He stepped forward with surprising respect. He greeted a man seated on a simple stone platform.
"Leader… There is news about Holy son of Azura Cloud Holy Land."
The man sitting cross-legged looked ordinary. His face clean, handsome, and peaceful. There is nothing threatening or powerful aura to indicating he stood at the peak of slaughter.
Yet his identity showing from his words.
This man was the Slaughter Emperor — the true master of the God Slayer Tower.
A gentle breeze brushed the leaves as he opened his eyes. In that instant, the world turned silent. His pupils were calm… but inside them lay a universe of killing intent so deep it could drown heaven.
The middle-aged assassin trembled slightly. He respectfully presented the jade bottle Lin Chen had given.
"Leader… I met the Holy Son of Sacred Heaven Holy Land. He requested a kill—and paid with this."
The Slaughter Emperor glanced at the glowing bottle. His expression didn't change but deep in his eyes, an emotion flickered.
This was like Pride. Recognition. Familiarity.
He asked softly, "What did you think of Chen'er's performance?"
The assassin hesitated.
"He… he has talent, Leader. Strong arrogance. Stronger confidence. His presence… feels similar to yours."
The Slaughter Emperor let out a faint laugh.
"As expected of my son."
The assassin's body stiffened, but he didn't dare raise his head.
The Slaughter Emperor looked up at the sky, voice drifting like a whisper carried by the wind.
"It won't be long before Chen'er uncovers the truth. The blood in his veins… cannot remain hidden."
He slowly closed his fingers around the jade bottle.
"It seems someone dared to offend him. To make my son call upon the Tower…such a person must have held something interesting."
A brief murderous gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Bring me everything that boy possessed."
"Yes, Leader!"
The assassin bowed deeply and vanished into darkness.
The Slaughter Emperor remained seated, but his lips curled slightly.
"Chen'er… the path ahead will be drenched in blood. Walk it well."
Back to Azura Cloud Holy Land, Holy son peak...
Lin Chen sat in his palace, legs crossed, reading through his newly unlocked system interface. A translucent panel appeared before him.

"Why is there Bloodline locked. You said its only memory sealed, but what about bloodline?"
Lin chen asked his system about it. He is already some depressed about his sealed memory, but now there is also sealed Bloodline. Was he did not even know about himself !

Lin Chen tapped open the System Shop. Rows of treasures shone before him—each one enough to make peak experts slaughter kingdoms.

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow.
"So many high-grade treasures… this system's appetite is monstrous."
He know some of treasure in this least. Like Eternal Frost Soul Lotus, this is rare heavenly treasure. Its said that no matter how much your soul is damaged, You can recover without any side effect, once taking Eternal Frost Soul Lotus. This also include Saint realm expert.
As for Lightning Immortal core, this thing is even more rare in whole Tianxuan continent. Its said that this thing used like currency above top grade spirit stone in ancient era. This core content Dao of Lightning, Long time consume can increase chances of compressed Dao of Lightning.
You have to know that if one want to become Emperor realm expert, he has to compressed one type of Dao. Thats why it always remain rare even in that era, only controlled by some Emperor families. But its have long lost in this era.
But he did not have one Luck point in his possession, thinking about millions points is still far from away.
Just then—
Knock. Knock.
A True Disciple walked in, bowing respectfully.
"Holy Son, the Sect Leader has instructed me to deliver your resources for the upcoming Imperial Genius Gathering."
He handed over a spatial ring with high-grade treasures.
Lin Chen nodded lightly.
"You may leave."
"Yes, Holy Son!"
As the disciple retreated, Lin Chen leaned back on his jade chair. Imperial Genius Gathering…
He remember this event in his memories. A grand event held every ten years in Black Emperor City—the territory of the Black Emperor Royal Family, a power on par with the Four Great Sects.
Its said that Black Emperor city was ruled by another powerful saint sect more than fifty thousand year ago. But they had once killed a whole sect, unknown leaving one person behind. But that person become saint realm expert and killed whole sect in his revenge.
Later he founded Black Royal Family. But unexpectly forty thousand years ago, he become a Emperor realm powerhouse and known as Dark Emperor by whole Tianxuan continent. Thus, Black Royal family become Black Emperor Royal Family.
Every major clan, holy land, and ancestral family would send their strongest young geniuses.
As Holy Son of Sacred Heaven Holy Land…Lin Chen would be one of the leading figures of the event.
And at such a place—
Destiny Sons and Daughters would gather like moths around heavenly fire.
A faint smile curved his lips.
"Good…A perfect hunting ground."
