Chapter 116.1: I Will Wait For You
Having struck in haste, the Violet Heaven Maiden had only managed to grievously wound the man. "Hmph! Remnants of the Blood Palace hiding within my Violet Heaven Alliance?! Truly despicable!"
A Supreme asked, his eyes filled with solemnity, "That crimson light just now... was it the work of the Blood Master?"
The Foolish Daoist had been able to break free from their encirclement because of that drop of blood-colored light.
"I once obtained such a drop and consulted the Slate of Fate." The Violet Heaven Maiden raised her chin proudly, her eyes brimming with killing intent. "The Slate of Fate's answer was: this belongs to the Great Demon!"
Everyone grew tense, though a flicker of greed also rose in their hearts. That supreme treasure was said to have been born alongside the Buddha himself, allowing one to glimpse into the past and future.
The Violet Heaven Maiden's achievements were inseparable from the Slate of Fate. With that artifact in her possession, her combat power could be said to be among the strongest. Moreover, it had become her instrument of authority.
Whether the Blood Master was truly a Great Demon, that was irrelevant. What mattered was what the Violet Heaven Maiden had proclaimed. The Slate of Fate had decreed the Blood Master to be the Great Demon. Therefore, he was and all the world should rise against him.

At the Ends of the Earth, within the Blood Palace.
Dawn arrived, not with sunlight, but with a faint glow.
The Ends of the Earth lay in the southernmost point of the world, where the sky brightened first.
Inside a boudoir, a young woman resided, her cheeks pale as snow. Dark tresses brushed past her delicate face as she gazed into the mirror, carefully painting her fine, curved brows. Her faint complexion transformed into lovely elegance. Her reflection and the flowers in the pearwood vase mirrored one another.
