Legendary Librarian System-Chapter 142: Blood Demon Ascendant Mode

"How is he doing right now?" Liu Wei asked after forging the first chain of the Brain Shackles.

The Brain Shackles was associated with Pride. Its nature was ego, supremacy, and self-deification.

If the heart rules blood, and the kidneys rule desire, then the brain rules authority.

There was a reason that the brain shackles were the last shackles to be forged and why it represented Pride.

Simply because Pride was the most subtle and dangerous corruption.

It declared itself to be above all emotions.

The first chain caused trouble towards Liu Wei. He has to become hyper-aware of his existence—every thought echoes, every decision feels monumental.

He struggled, which caused him to fail many times before finally forging the first chain.

It has been four days since he heard of Zhao Heng's return, so only now he has the time to ask for his well-being.

Furthermore, after forging the first chain, he attained perfect mental clarity and immunity to confusion and distraction.

The System's voice echoed in his head.

[He has finally settled and began to read books. The library attendant already introduced them to the Training Domain, but it seems he got immersed in the cultivation technique he chose. He also began to cultivate in his very seat, too.]

Liu Wei replied, "You should instruct the library attendants to introduce him to various realms that would be perfect for his cultivation."

[Understood. I will instruct them to do so. Also, should I tell them that they should tell him to focus on his cultivation first before meeting you? It seems he has something to say.]

Liu Wei nodded and replied, "That can wait, I believe. He's not desperate, right?"

[It doesn't seem to be the case.]

Liu Wei nodded and did not say anything anymore but to continue forging the remaining chains of the brain shackles.

This time, the chains' trial to be forged did not require him to cultivate in the Training Domain.

The Meditation Garden and visualization was more than enough.

The second chain required him to visualize in an illusion he was standing above all others—kings, ancestors, saints, and even immortals.

They were all kneeling.

However, that was the real trial—Liu Wei must accept superiority without contempt.

It took him a day and a half to finally forge the second chain, the Superiority Chain, and his mental pressure increased and his killing intent became focused, not wild.

Liu Wei did not take a rest since he perceived he was in the perfect state of mind after forging the first and second brain chain.

Hence, he visualized himself in a place where others resisted his will.

It took him two days before finally forging the third chain called Authority Chain.

He had to assert dominance through his presence alone, not coercion.

In the end, the Slaughter Domain began forming and weak-willed enemies would experience submission instinctively.

The fourth chain took him more than half a week to be forged.

He experienced repeated failures and humiliations—something that rarely occurred ever since he interacted with others outside.

He had to acknowledge fallibility, yet refuse to kneel. He also began to realize how his character changed throughout ever since he cultivated the Blood Demonheart Sutra.

When the fourth chain, Infallibility Chain, was finally forged. He gained immunity to mental attacks and illusions and his Dao comprehension stabilized under pressure.

The fifth chain was probably the easiest that Liu Wei forged.

After all, he visualized himself where his ego attempted to overwrite reason, instinct, and Dao.

He binds his ego beneath his will, forging his identity into a weapon.

As a result, Blood Qi responded directly to his thought and no mental deviation was possible.

It was why the fifth chain was called the Sovereign Ego Chain.

The sixth chain was called the Demon Sovereign Chain.

It represented the absolute pride of the Brain Shackles.

He had to declare himself a Sovereign of his own existence, rejecting heaven, fate, and demon alike.

Eventually, he refined his pride into a crystal of unyielding will, not arrogance.

It took him five days and when it was finally forged, all his six brain chains synchronized.

His brain ascended into Crimson Demon Nexus.

The System's voice echoed in his head.

[The Brain Shackles has finally been forged.

The brain has evolved into a Crimson Demon Nexus, merging mind and blood qi.

It grants the following:

Unbreakable Will: Immune to mental attacks, illusions, and killing intent pressure.

Slaughter Domain: Killing intent becomes tangible; enemies within the domain suffer mental suppression.

Blood Mirage Arts: Pride-infused killing intent forms realistic illusions. Illusions can mislead, terrify, or dominate weaker minds

Dao Insight Amplifier: Deepens comprehension speed for demonic and blood-related Dao by 5x. No loss of clarity during frenzy, rage, or slaughter.]

Liu Wei was stunned when he heard the effects. Not only he gained affinity with blood mirage arts, he also gained Dao Insight Amplifier.

"There is also a Slaughter Domain. Since the killing intent became tangible, I don't believe it's as strong as an actual Will. At the very least, it should not be far from it."

Liu Wei was soon distracted when he recalled that once he forged and awakened all the blood shackles, he could activate them at once like the Crimson Chain Overdrive.

"System, can you show me the description and effects of the Blood Demon Ascendant Mode?"

[Understood.]

[State Name: Blood Demon Ascendant Mode.

Duration: With your current state, you can at most last for 1 minute.]

Liu Wei was stunned.

The Crimson Chain Overdrive can lose for three minutes, but the Blood Demon Ascendant Mode can only last for 1 minute?

However, he did not disturb the System as she continued:

[Effects:

Perfect Qi Circuit Completion: Blood Qi flows through every organ group, creating a closed-loop energy system that no longer leaks energy. Each organ harmonizes demonic essence, causing ultimate vitality boost.

Infinite Recovery Window: During this short state, all wounds heal instantly, even if limbs are severed (as long as the head remains). Qi, stamina, and blood essence replenish in real time.

Physique Awakening: The body temporarily achieves a pseudo-Blood Demon Overlord Physique, granting effects of all six organ group bonuses amplified by 200%.

Demonic Ascension Aura: The cultivator becomes a walking demonic calamity—ordinary mortals die just by being near. Killing intent materializes as scarlet blades or chains, cutting reality itself.]
