Blood Crimson Scythe.

"Ancestor Carnage??!" Alex exclaimed in disbelief, taken aback by the revelation.

"Yes, I am indeed that exceptionally handsome ancestor you've heard about," Hong Yue replied with a grin.

"You're alive?" Alex questioned, his astonishment evident.

"Well, there is quite a story to explain..." Hong Yue began, but Alex interrupted him abruptly.

"Oh, shit! I have to go now! I'll be back here soon!" Alex dashed away, feeling the protective barrier he had placed around Fengying breaking.

Fengyu Wanhong couldn't comprehend what had just happened. Sect Master Lin's hand had pierced through her body, and he looked into her eyes from mere millimeters away.

"How are you still alive?" she asked, a mix of confusion and disbelief in her voice. She had slashed him at least 30 times, and any one of those strikes should have been fatal.

"Well, well, well... looks like I should be more afraid of aging," Sect Master Lin teased as he slowly withdrew his hand.

"Why..." Fengyu questioned, her voice trembling.

"As I don't want TO GO SENILE!" Sect Master Lin's voice shifted from playful to serious, and he slashed his hand through the air.

BSSSHHHHHTTTT!!!

Blood spattered across the ground, and Fengyu's lifeless body fell.

"You've been fighting in a war that relies on a technique that, if discovered now, would lead to a death sentence. I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet," Sect Master Lin explained as he observed the result of his attack.

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" Fengyu shouted, her frustration mounting.

"I have never told you why people call me Blood Crimson Reaper... let me show you now why they do call me that." Sect Master Lin extended his hand to the side and clenched it into a fist. In a fraction of a second, he uttered a chilling word.

"REAP!"

Everything fell silent, and then...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

A massive crimson pillar of energy erupted into the sky from the city. Crimson flames of light surrounded the area, and the voices of countless souls filled the air.

"Why..."

"What did we do to deserve this?"

"Please take revenge for us."

These haunting voices echoed around the decimated city as a blue flame-like light enveloped the surroundings. It all converged toward Sect Master Lin's hand, forming a massive crimson scythe.

He raised his hand, and a hood appeared over his head, covering his battered form. His eyes glowed with blue light as he asked, "Do you recognize this now?"

"This... YOU... YOU... YOU... BEAST!" Fengyu finally realized what was happening, as countless memories flooded her mind.

In ancient times, there had been a notorious man who needed to be exterminated by thirty Demonic Rulers. He had been infamous for his ability to manipulate souls, becoming immensely powerful by absorbing them. He was known as a limitlessly strong force, the problem was that he hated Demons, he only absorbed their corripted spul that caused his mind to go astray as well... he became enemy of Humans as well as Demons and finally in the final confortration Himans and Demons Needed to cooperate to kill him, Humans were too weak to kill him. and the world had united to cleanse him of his corrupted soul. Fengyu couldn't believe it. Sect Master Lin had mastered this forbidden technique of soul manipulation.

"Ah, I guess you misunderstood me, Princess. I am not like the person you're thinking of. I managed to perfect the techniques he left behind, albeit at the cost of a few useful abilities. Now, I can do much more than manipulate the souls of the dead," Sect Master Lin explained. Before he could elaborate further, an invisible slash came toward him.

Sect Master Lin raised his scythe to block it.

BZZZSSSTTTTT!!!

After silence for a second.

The slash dwarfed the largest mountains, cleaving through the heavens and Earth itself. It was the size of an entire continent and visible from distant lands. It radiated a power that sent even the mightiest beasts into fear, even the normal people were watching this in awe, they were watching this like it was a show not even knowing this was a attack that could annihilate everything in instant, a true mighty beings knew that they were wrong comparing themselves to the strongest this attack caused, awakening countless beings who watched in awe. Sect Master Lin's face was reflected in the immense attack, his wrath and anguish clear for all to see.

And then, in an instant, everything fell silent again. The world held its breath, and no one dared to speak.

But within the mirror-like attack that reflected Sect Master Lin's face, you could see his red eyes, his wrath, his anguish – emotions that only intensified after losing his daughter. he was a master at hiding but in this attack you could see just how hurt he was but he was a Sect Master. someone that had to protect everything he was ruling, Sect Master Lin was hurt but he could not express this outloud, he needed to do this he was obligated to do this, because of that absolute authority Being Sect Master Brought he needed to be ready to sacrefice as well... and in this moment he choose... He appeared as a true Demonic God, a devil, a being that would spare no one. This aspect of him was hidden from the world, as he controlled his emotions.

And finally, after severing what felt like seconds, everything calmed down. The eerie silence persisted, and no one dared to utter a word. everyone was waiting for the final outcpme of this attack strongest beings looked over to the place where this happened and waited... they were expecting enemy to be cut apart, they could not imagine someone surviving something like this, it was impossible to do so. something so powerful, something so fast could not be withstood... they knew this and saw...

But just before Sect Master Lin's scythe could deliver the final blow to Fengyu, his hand was stopped by someone.
