Chapter 34: Bloodline Unchained
The ritual chamber beneath the Terra stronghold was silent—save for the thrum of ancestral Qi vibrating through the obsidian pillars carved with ancient demonic sigils. Crimson mist danced across the floor as Yue'er stepped into the center, the Soul-Sealed Scroll hovering before her.
Tian Mo watched from his elevated throne, eyes gleaming with restrained power. His daughters—Yue'er and Mei—were no longer mere cultivators. They were becoming weapons of legacy.
"Unseal it," he commanded.
Yue'er nodded and pressed her bloodied palm to the scroll. Black flames erupted, burning away layers of soul-seals and revealing the true content: The Ninefold Crimson Vein Ritual—a forbidden demonic inheritance tied to the Blood Sovereign Lineage, of which Tian Mo had once been an heir before his betrayal and fall in a past life.
The scroll pulsed, reacting to Yue'er's lineage. She convulsed, crimson veins crawling up her neck as her blood boiled and restructured.
Tian Mo stepped down and placed a hand over her heart.
"You will not break," he whispered, voice both cruel and tender. "You are my daughter. My blood is law."
Yue'er screamed—not in pain, but ecstasy—as the bloodline awakening surged. Her cultivation surged, crossing the threshold from Nascent Soul Early Stage to Mid-Stage instantly, the ritual refining her meridians into conduits of destruction.
Her aura transformed—darker, laced with seductive blood Qi.
Mei clapped, amused and eager. "Sister's going to be even more fun now."
Tian Mo let her rest and turned to Mei. "Your ritual will come later. For now, you'll assist Elena."

Zhou Intercontinental Holdings – Terra Sector
Elena Zhou, clad in an ice-blue cheongsam that highlighted every inch of her graceful power, stepped onto the sky-ship platform flanked by Yin Hua and Mei. The diplomatic mission was a ruse—one crafted by Tian Mo himself.
Their targets: the Celestial Rain Sect, led by Matriarch Su Lian—a famed cultivator of dual-path techniques and her prideful, arrogant son, Su Han.
Elena had been instructed to seduce both.
"Subjugate the mother through desire and admiration," Tian Mo had told her, "and corrupt the son through humiliation and lustful degradation. They will both kneel."
Mei giggled beside her. "I call dibs on the son. He looks like he'd cry after one touch."
Elena narrowed her eyes. "Do not play. This is a conquest of power, not pleasure."
Mei winked. "Why not both?"

Back on Earth – Hidden Valley Training Ground
In a quiet, hidden valley masked by ancient formation arrays, a group of children knelt before a stone monument, each marked with the Chaos Emblem across their backs—Tian Mo's children, born from cultivators, assassins, elites.
Boys and girls from six to sixteen, already practicing lethal techniques and cultivating under unique demonic martial scrolls.
Their instructor, a former Fallen Sect Executioner turned loyal servant of Tian Mo, shouted coldly, "You are the future blades! Your father is the world's shadow—you are his fang! Who will die for him!?"
All hands raised. No hesitation. No fear.
A girl of ten, with crimson eyes and raven-black hair—Tian Mo's second daughter from Yin Hua—stepped forward and executed a flawless beheading formation using a blade of pure spiritual will.
The instructor smirked. "She's ready."
Above them, Tian Mo watched from a distance, hidden within a formation. His voice echoed across the valley through a soul-transmission.
"Grow strong. For blood and chaos. One day, the stars will tremble beneath our name."
