Legendary Librarian System-Chapter 144: Peripheral Chains

Liu Wei and Zhao Heng did not talk much afterwards. Liu Wei told Zhao Heng he was still busy and still would be, so if he ever needed something, he would better ask the humanoid man scroll.

Liu Wei also assured Zhao Heng that he could take as much time as he needed. The deadline he gave was for the book to be returned and the debt to be paid could extend even for a year.

Of course, he said so since a 100 System Points was a bit small for him now.

Afterward, Liu Wei returned to his personal chamber.

Along the way, Liu Wei was pondering about ascending into the Core Formation Stage, when he randomly thought of activating the Crimson Chain Overdrive and the Blood Demon Ascendant Mode.

He asked the System about it.

[Then, you will enter in a combined state. However, you can only last half a minute since it's beyond what your body can handle. If you also lasted for half a minute, the consequence is very severe that it might need ten Vitality Recovery Pills with the manifestation of pill apotheosis.]

Liu Wei nodded. He was deeply curious about it, so he asked for the precise descriptions and effects.

The System's voice echoed pleasantly in his head.

[Combined State: Demonheart Cataclysm Form.

The apocalyptic union of Blood Qi, flesh, and will — when the heart, meridians, and organs beat as one demonic core.

Activation Condition: Occurs only when the Heart Shackles has reached "Demonheart Ascendancy", and the primary Demon Chains were forged, resonating perfectly with the six organ systems. It will activate once you forcibly synchronize heartbeat + meridian pulse + organ resonance into a single rhythm — the Demonheart Pulse Synchrony.

However, if even one rhythm is out of sync → instant meridian rupture and death.

Hence, this is called the "Cataclysm Form" — a test to a true Blood Demon monarch.]

Liu Wei nodded.

He did not underestimate the seriousness of the System's words.

He then began to read the effects of the Demonheart Cataclysm Form.

[Effects of Simultaneous Activation:

Absolute Qi Resonance — Blood Universe Circulation: Blood Qi forms a continuous loop across every organ and meridian, creating a pseudo-cosmic circuit. Qi flow increases 1000–1500%, exceeding both prior Overdrive and Ascendant states. Blood Qi becomes semi-sentient, responding directly to thought. Your heart, now acting as a Blood Furnace Core, refines Blood Qi in real time — producing endless, self-feeding power.

Demonheart Ascension Phenomenon: The heart transforms temporarily into a Crimson Dao Furnace, merging the demonic path with your consciousness. Consciousness expands — you perceive everything within a 10-mile Blood Domain. Every drop of blood within that domain resonates with your pulse. The boundary between body and world briefly disappears — making you a living domain.

Physical Transformation — Flesh of the Overlord: All organ bonuses are magnified 500%, not just 200%.

{Heart Furnace: Infinite Blood Qi, immune to any internal backlash.

Liver Reservoir: Explosive Blood Qi release surpasses physical limits.

Lungs: Breathe Blood Qi like air — every roar becomes a world-rending shockwave.

Spleen: Infinite regeneration — severed limbs, organs, even the head can regrow as long as essence remains.

Kidneys: Perfect yin-yang balance, suppressing any demonic corruption.

Brain: Slaughter Domain evolves into Blood Mind Realm — weaker enemies become puppets under mental domination.}

Manifestation — "Demonheart Cataclysm" Aura: Your body emanates a blood-colored corona, forming chains and sigils in the air. Terrain and air are corrupted into a semi-liquid "Blood Field." Within 1000 meters, blood, qi, and vitality are forcibly drawn toward you. Reality fractures slightly from qi density; space ripples like liquid blood.]

Liu Wei noted every effect and continued to be awestruck. He even wondered if he would be able to defeat the golden chick with the Demon Cataclysm Form, but recalling that the golden chick came from the Celestial Apex, despite it was weakened to a considerable degree, he instantly changed his mind.

However, the System was not finished yet.

[There is backlash and catastrophic risk.

The following are the aftereffects:

Qi Collapse: All meridians burn to ash unless repaired immediately through demonic essence infusion.

Blood Essence Drain: 70–90% of total life force consumed.

Soul Burn: Overuse may damage the Demon Soul Flame — the heart-soul connection.

Blood Frenzy: 90% chance of entering permanent berserk state if Brain Shackles are not perfected.

All of these are unavoidable… except if you have the Origin Demonheart Body.]

Liu Wei rolled his eyes when he read the last sentence. He did not bother scolding her as he continued to remember each of the effects of the Demon Cataclysm Form and envisioned every scenario that could possibly happen that he had to enter the Demon Cataclysm Form.

Eventually, Liu Wei reached the Meditation Garden and meditated for a bit.

When he was ready, he asked the System, "How much will it require to acquire the Stage 3 of the Blood Demonheart Sutra?"

The System was silent for a while and replied, [You only have learned the first half of the Stage 2, Pulse of Chains yet. The second half of the Stage 2 will help you ascend through the Core Formation Stage and reach the peak.]

Liu Wei was stunned. He did not expect the sudden twist. His mouth twitched and did not complain after knowing that the System might have deliberately misled him.

After all, he benefitted in the end.

He asked, "What is the second half of the Stage 2?"

[The necessary details will be injected in your memory now… please be patient.]

Liu Wei nodded and closed his eyes.

After a while, he finally understood why it was the second half.

After all, the second half was still related to his six organs that he tempered with Blood Shackles.

The Core Formation Stage focused on the Peripheral Chains System.

There were sixty peripheral chains and they were forged in six waves.

The Heart Peripheral Chains, Liver Peripheral Chains, Lung Peripheral Chains, Spleen Peripheral Chains, Kidney Peripheral Chains, and Brain Peripheral Chains.

In other words, each group corresponds to one organ domain, reinforcing the already-completed Organ Shackles.

These chains do not awaken organs.

They lock, reinforce, and regulate the Crimson Core.
