Three airships were traveling at a high speed in the Outer Ring's sky. All of them had a banner of a white-pink lotus, declaring they belonged to the 1st ranked sect of the continent, the Serene Lotus Sect.
Their destination was quite obvious since they were flying in a straight line toward a certain bloody mountain.
----------
With the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect acting on Benjamin's orders to attack the enemy, Ken could take a breath of fresh air and kill freely. Although Theodore and Elmer were helping him before, they didn't kill anyone, so their power was restricted.
They had a limit even if they wanted to help him since they couldn't overstep their boundaries and trigger a war against the third strongest sect. After all, their intervention wouldn't remain secret forever.
"Damn it! Whoever you are, let me go if you don't want a full-blown war with the Four Seasons Sect!"
Trenton swore and screamed empty threats to the air, trying to scare the invisible man that trapped him. He knew that whoever was intervening, most likely was part of the top 5 sects and wouldn't fear his sect, but his sect took heavy damage.
The war already spread to outside Ken's domain's range, and everyone was fighting as a result.
Trenton tried to send long-distance attacks, but his other arm was soon trapped inside another ball of black fog, followed by his two legs. Unwilling to have his face trapped too, he wisely decided not to attempt sending attacks from his mouth.
The grand elders of his sect put him in charge of the area and left, saying they will return before the appointed time to see the Divine Sword Sect's answer to their demand to denounce Ken as an evil cultivator. He could only watch the mess transpiring in front of him helplessly.
'9,900 killed, 2 minutes left.'
Ken kept count while he rushed between the disciples.
'That's the work of my new luck. Even if I'm reckless, it will give me a way out of my predicament. I only need enough power to make it practically possible, otherwise, even the luckiest person will die without the ability to take the opportunities their luck has to offer.'
Ken didn't hold back his Qi expenditure. He spent all the Qi he absorbed by Blood Transfusion to execute One Step repeatedly, dashing all around the mountain and killing those he caught by surprise.
Although his attacks were much weaker without a technique to back them up, his speed during One Step made up for it. Luckily, most of his Bloodlust techniques were executed through the soul rather than through the meridians, allowing him to spread his Frenzy Domain around him even while executing One Step.
'10 more to go, one minute left. Slash, 81 in 9.'
Ken killed 9 more people around him. His sword dripped blood, and his whole appearance was disheveled as he breathed heavily. He already spent all the Qi he worked hard to absorb those past few hours.
'One more.'
*DING!*
"Greetings, inheritor. You've proven your lust for blood and your love for control."
A strong voice resounded in the mountains and a powerful bloodlust washed over everyone one second after Ken killed the last victim, a female cultivator. In under a second, everyone dropped their weapons, Ken included. Only 4 people weren't overwhelmed – Elmer, Theodore, Trenton, and Benjamin.
There was complete silence once the metals stopped ringing from the fall, and all they could do was wait and listen to the voice continue.
"In one minute, the portal to the secret realm of my esteemed Bloodthirst Sect will be opened, and it shall remain open for three months before imploding and being sucked into the void."
Trenton and Benjamin listened in surprise. They heard about the Bloodthirst Sect since it was famous as the last evil sect in the Central Zone, but the Serene Lotus Sect kept the elders' announcement secret.
They didn't know what triggered the portal to open, but they did understand it was an inheritance site of the highest caliber.
The Bloodthirst Sect had 7 cultivators at the peak of the ninth stage, keeping the sect safe. The sect's disciples were all murderous lunatics that terrorized the area, killing humans left and right.
One day, the 7 renowned elders disappeared, and the sect was left without their protection. The righteous sects immediately created an alliance and chased down the weaker members, slaughtering everyone they could catch. As for the few they couldn't, those scattered across the world, and their names were forgotten.
Nobody knew the reason for the elders' sudden disappearance except for the Serene Lotus Sect, but everyone assumed they ascended to the Immortal Realm. The only question was why they didn't ensure their sect's safety before leaving, but most people attributed it to their nature as selfish evil cultivators.
"Anyone under 75 is allowed to enter the secret realm, and all of you have a chance at getting the main inheritance. The only other standard is having a bloodlust strong enough to be worthy of inheriting our legacy. Opener of the secret realm, killer of 10,000, you may enter first."
The voice faded after explaining the conditions to enter the secret realm, and everyone took a deep breath in relief as the bloodlust that kept them frozen disappeared as suddenly as it came.
Everyone looked at Ken, understanding he must be the one responsible for fulfilling the conditions to make the secret realm open. Although the voice mentioned everyone had a chance at getting the legacy, it was clear that Ken was the favorite to win.
"Die, you devil!"
A strong feminine voice echoed in the silence, and everyone looked to the sky and saw a woman in white robes with an embroidery of the Four Seasons Sect's emblem on her right shoulder.
She was a grand elder of her sect, and she arrived in time to witness the opening of the secret realm. She attacked with her palm, sending a fire attack to obliterate Ken entirely. However, the same annoying cultivator that caged Trenton blocked her attack as well.
"No!"
She shouted furiously as she watched a red light envelop Ken, pulling him into the secret realm in front of her eyes.
