Chapter 188 Half-Step Golden Core, The Beginning of an Invincible Path

As everyone thought Yun Fan was bluffing, the once arrogant Light and Darkness Angel froze in place.

The next moment, a pain spread from within him.

"Ah!"

With a roar from the Light and Darkness Angel, his body exploded.

This scene caught everyone off guard, except for Yun Fan.

"Impossible!"

They were stunned. Silently, the Light and Darkness Angel was instantly killed. It turned out that the Heavenly Fire Meteorite strike wasn't without power.

It was just too slow to inflict damage.

An angel, who they saw as a deity, was killed by Yun Fan. It was truly unexpected.

To say he killed it was a stretch; it was killed by the power of Old Heavenly Master.

Feng Yi Dao was terrified of Old Heavenly Master. He had thought Old Heavenly Master was merely at the Golden Core stage, but now it seemed he was not far from a Land Immortal.

Of course, this wasn't the most exaggerated part. Even more exaggerated was Yun Fan at the half-step Innate stage, who thought breaking through to Innate would put him on par with Old Man.

Unexpectedly, after breaking through to Innate, he realized the gap between him and Old Heavenly Master was like that between an ant and an elephant.

At this moment, the hearts of everyone in the Divine Hall were filled with dread of Yun Fan and his group. It wasn't that they were too strong, but rather that they hadn't encountered a truly powerful opponent.

In the face of true powerhouses, let alone them, even angels became vulnerable.

At this point, only the Heart of the Light and Darkness Angel remained at the spot.

Yun Fan stepped forward, snatching the Angel's Heart. As expected of a Seraph, he felt an intense burning sensation.

It hurt so much that he quickly grabbed a box and put the Angel's Heart inside. Who knew what the temperature of an Angel's Heart was?

Yun Fan even began to doubt life itself. Old Heavenly Master wanted him to refine this thing. Wouldn't that be too risky?

He wouldn't dare to try without absolute certainty.

After everything was over, Yun Fan found Alan.

The Blood Race Divine Hall was incredibly dark, truly befitting creatures who lived in the shadows.

The temperature here was much lower than outside, a cold that came from the bone, far more than superficial.

Upon seeing Yun Fan, the Blood Race members showed hostility, but in front of Yun Fan, they were simply weaklings who couldn't withstand a single blow.

Yun Fan didn't bother with them and said, "I'm looking for your Queen!"

"Who are you?"

The Blood Race members asked. Although they hadn't seen Yun Fan before, they sensed his powerful aura.

Yun Fan replied, "It's not important who I am. What's important is that I'm here to fulfill an agreement!"

"Hmph!"

Someone from the Blood Race snorted, "Kid, I recognize you. You're the murderer who killed our Viscount Keith!"

As soon as this was said, many Blood Race members were startled. They hadn't expected Yun Fan to be the one who killed Viscount Keith.

He was truly terrifyingly strong.

If Yun Fan were to make a move, perhaps only their Queen could defeat him.

Yun Fan said, "Get lost, I don't have time to waste with you!"

These people were full of hostility, unaware that he had just helped them eliminate the powerful enemy, the Light and Darkness Angel.

Just then, Alan's voice came through.

"Let him in!"

Only then did the Blood Race members cautiously make way. Yun Fan swaggered in.

Upon arriving at the Blood Race Queen's castle, Yun Fan marveled at their wealth. This single ancient castle would have cost billions to build.

This was the Blood Race's stronghold. As he walked, Yun Fan saw many beautiful Blood Race women and noble, handsome men.

It had to be said, in terms of appearance, the Blood Race definitely outshone the Divine Hall, let alone the werewolf clan.

Perhaps it was due to genetics, but Yun Fan only glanced at them. After all, even the most beautiful Alan couldn't disturb his peace of mind.

At this moment, Yun Fan met Alan.

Alan waved her hand, and several beautiful Blood Race women beside her retreated. These women, if placed in the secular world, would be supermodels.

Here, they were merely subordinates attending to Alan's daily needs.

Yun Fan then said, "You certainly know how to enjoy yourself. This kind of life is what most people dream of!"

With that, he picked up the red wine in front of him and drained it in one gulp.

Alan frowned slightly, as this glass of red wine was one she had drunk from. Was this considered an indirect kiss? But she said nothing.

Yun Fan, meanwhile, was completely unaware that Alan had already drunk from this glass.

The women around them were confused. They hadn't expected this fellow to be so audacious, daring to treat their Queen so familiarly.

What's more, their Queen didn't say anything. Who exactly was this young man?

Then, Alan said, "I don't think you're here to enjoy life today, are you?"

"Of course not!"

Yun Fan replied, "Let's handle business first. The Light and Darkness Angel is dead, so I've come to collect on our contract!"

"Are you sure?"

Alan looked at Yun Fan in disbelief. In her eyes, Yun Fan killing the Light and Darkness Angel seemed impossible.

"Of course!"

With that, Yun Fan directly took out a box. As the box opened, light emanated, nearly scorching the Blood Race women and turning them into ashes.

Even Alan felt a terrifying aura, an aura that was undoubtedly angelic and capable of destroying the entire Blood Race.

Seeing this, Yun Fan closed the box and said to Alan, "Do you believe me now? This box contains the Angel's Heart!"

"So perverse!"

Alan couldn't help but mutter. She hadn't expected Yun Fan to not only kill an angel but also take its heart.

He was truly a brigand among brigands.

She then dismissed the Blood Race women and asked Yun Fan, "How did you do it?"

"I borrowed a sliver of power from my master and killed the angel!"

Yun Fan answered directly.

Upon hearing this, Alan was shocked. Although she had heard from Yun Fan before about Old Heavenly Master's power, she hadn't expected him to kill the Light and Darkness Angel with a single move, and without even acting personally. This was terrifying.

Then, she said to Yun Fan, "I believe you. The Blood Crystal is yours!"

With that, she produced a box. As the box opened, a cold Blood Crystal appeared before Yun Fan.

The coldness was bone-chilling, a stark contrast to the Angel's Heart.

Therefore, at this moment, Yun Fan had an idea. If he could fuse the coldness of the Blood Crystal with the heat of the Angel's Heart, could he refine it directly?

It seemed his transaction with Alan was very wise.

"Thank you!"

Yun Fan was about to take the Blood Crystal, but at the crucial moment, Alan retracted it.

"Hm?"

Yun Fan looked confused.

Alan said, "You haven't agreed to my terms yet!"

"I know!"

Yun Fan replied, "Once I refine the Blood Crystal and the Angel's Heart, I will fulfill my promise. Until then, my body cannot bear it!"

Yun Fan wanted to dedicate all his energy to refining these two treasures.

Hearing this, Alan's expression turned grim. She said to Yun Fan, "In five days, it will be the full moon. If I cannot withstand the tribulation with sufficient blood and qi then, I will fall into slumber!"

"Five days?"

Yun Fan pondered for a moment and then said to her, "Refining these two items won't take five days. Three days at most!"

"I think you desire a stronger bloodline. If I can break through, I will become stronger, and that is what you need!"

He tried to persuade Alan.

Alan, who had initially refused, now agreed, as Yun Fan's reasoning was sound.

"Then make arrangements as soon as possible!"

Alan urged.

"Okay!"

Afterward, Yun Fan was led by several of Alan's subordinates to the depths of the ancient castle.

This was a good place for refinement, quiet and undisturbed.

However, at this moment, the supermodel-like Blood Race beauties did not seem to have any intention of leaving.

"Aren't you leaving?"

Facing Yun Fan's confusion, the Blood Race beauties said shyly, "Her Majesty the Queen has instructed us to serve you. You may do anything you wish to us!"

Such blatant hints made Yun Fan speechless. Did Alan see him as a lecher?

He had to admit, his dignity was insulted.

So, he immediately said, "Tell her I don't need it, and I don't want to be disturbed by anyone!"

Upon hearing this, the Blood Race beauties retreated in surprise.

At this point, the environment finally became quiet. Yun Fan took out the two items and began to attempt to fuse their powers.

As expected, the fused power was much calmer. Such power, when integrated into the body, would not cause any harm.

This process took a long time. At this moment, Yun Fan was frantically absorbing these two forces.

As these two forces entered his body, they were converted into his own power, continuously accumulating.

One day later, Yun Fan quietly opened his eyes. At this moment, the powers of the two supreme treasures had been completely absorbed and had shattered.

After absorbing the power of these two supreme treasures, Yun Fan did not rest. At this moment, too much power had accumulated within him, seemingly on the verge of explosion.

The breakthrough was smooth because he had already touched the threshold of half-step Golden Core, and thus he smoothly entered this realm.

However, to advance further and become a legendary Golden Core expert, he encountered an obstacle and could not proceed.

"How is this possible?"

Yun Fan was dejected. He had thought he would immediately become a Golden Core expert, embark on the path of dominance, and seek revenge on those two families.

However, reality was cruel. He was currently only at the half-step Golden Core realm. Even with the remaining power in his body, he could not break through.

Therefore, Yun Fan concluded that to break through to Golden Core, simply accumulating power was not enough.

He also needed experiential understanding, the so-called theory.

Fortunately, he had already reached the half-step Golden Core stage, which was a gain. As for the Golden Core realm, he would ponder it slowly.

At this stage, Yun Fan was very confident. He was confident that he was invincible at the half-step Golden Core realm.

He could refer to Feng Yi Dao and Jiang Yu Tian.

These two were both experts at the half-step Golden Core stage, but Yun Fan was confident that even if they attacked together, they might not be his match.

Even he was shocked by his own physique.

He had said three days, but it only took two. He considered it an exceptional performance.

At this moment, Yun Fan emerged from the secret chamber and met Alan.

"I sense you are very strong. Your power is likely not inferior to the previous Blood Race Queen!"

Alan said with shock.

She hadn't expected Yun Fan's strength to be so terrifying.

Yun Fan calmly replied, "Just a lucky breakthrough!"

"Why didn't you enjoy the services of the beautiful women I arranged for you?"

She asked Yun Fan.

Yun Fan said, "Although they are beautiful, they are not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as you!"

"You dare to have designs on me?"

Alan looked at Yun Fan angrily. As the Queen of the Blood Race, she never had romantic feelings. Upon seeing Yun Fan's frivolous gaze, she became angry.

If Yun Fan knew her thoughts, he would be speechless. Did Alan misunderstand the meaning of "frivolous"?

He was merely speaking the truth. It was also true that he had seen beauties before. His senior sisters and the women around him were no less beautiful than Alan in terms of appearance.

The only point Alan gained was her aloof and unique aura.

"You misunderstand!"

Yun Fan said, "I am not the lecher you imagine. I think it's better to fulfill my promise first!"

After all, he still had to hurry back. The Jiang and Ji families were watching, and he couldn't stay away for too long. He had already broken through to half-step Golden Core.

In his opinion, he should not always be on the defensive. Now, he could even launch a counterattack.

Hearing this, Alan said, "I need to draw your blood twice first. After I've weathered the full moon night, I will draw it one last time!"

"No problem, draw as much as you want!"

Yun Fan, having broken through to half-step Golden Core, was completely confident. Losing a bit of blood was nothing. With his half-step Golden Core strength, he could withstand it, right?

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, Alan directly bit his neck.

"Ah!"

Yun Fan cried out, "You're not playing fair!"

After a long while, Alan finally left Yun Fan's neck, satisfied.

At this moment, she clearly felt the potent energy contained in Yun Fan's blood. Originally, she might not have had a chance to survive this tribulation and would have likely fallen into slumber. But now, she felt a little more confident.

As for Yun Fan, he shivered beside her. On one hand, it was due to excessive blood loss. On the other hand, it was the cold. As Alan drew his blood, a chilling energy flowed into his body. Even with his strong physique, he couldn't withstand it.

It had to be said, marrying a woman like Alan meant one wouldn't have to worry about the summer heat.

Then, Alan asked Yun Fan, "Are you alright!"

"I'm alright!"

Yun Fan stammered.

At this moment, Alan felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had tasted the deliciousness of Yun Fan's blood, so she had greedily absorbed a lot.

She hadn't expected Yun Fan to not stop her. He was truly a man who kept his promises. Of course, this was also due to Yun Fan's powerful physique.

If it were anyone else, they would have collapsed and died long ago.

"I'll be gentler next time!"

Alan promised Yun Fan.

In fact, she was a little embarrassed, as she had overdone it this time. But there was no way around it; Yun Fan's blood was simply too delicious.

However, she only had two more chances to absorb it. If only Yun Fan could stay by her side permanently, then she would have a free buffet.

"Let's not talk about that for now. I'm just curious about one thing!"

"What are you curious about?"

Alan asked Yun Fan, puzzled.

Yun Fan said, "I'm just curious, is your bottomless abyss also cold?"

"Get lost!"

Alan glared at him angrily. From Yun Fan's expression, she knew what he meant.

Yun Fan quickly and sheepishly left.

Before the full moon night, Alan drew blood a second time. However, this time it was even more brutal. Yun Fan, who was suffering, didn't understand why Alan was so stingy. It seemed like she was trying to kill him!

It seemed he shouldn't joke around with women casually in the future, as it was truly painful.

Finally, it was the evening of the fifth day. Alan summoned Yun Fan to her room, which was larger than the living room.

"Tonight's full moon is very special, seemingly accompanied by a blood moon. I need your help!"

Alan said to Yun Fan with a solemn expression.

Yun Fan asked, "Is it that terrifying?"

"Yes!"

Alan replied, "If I couldn't withstand the previous tribulations, I would at most fall into slumber. But this time is different. If I can't withstand it, I might die!"

"No way!"

Yun Fan was startled. It seemed the risks of being a vampire were immense!

"How can I help you?"
