Crack!
A deafening thunderclap echoed through the endless depths of space, illuminating five phantom figures formed from divine consciousness. The ancient sages opened their eyes one by one, the anger in their gazes as cold as drawn swords!
Ignoring the explosive roars of the falling lightning.
The sages' expressions remained unchanged, though their cold voices brimmed with fury!
A mere junior actually forced my avatar to retreat in defeat. In the future, I must obliterate his very soul, otherwise it will be impossible to wipe away the humiliation of today!
The disgrace of this battle is unprecedented!
Hmph! If I had gone there in person, how could he have won by a fluke?
Brother Lei is right. We were too careless in this battle. Let him gloat for a few more days. Once our true bodies descend upon the world, death will be his only outcome!
...
Their deep voices echoed across the clouds, the sages furious beyond measure.
Among them, Lei Qianjue was the most frustrated. His body radiated a terrifying aura, manipulating lightning to blast through deep space, as if even that could not vent the raging fire in his heart.
The other sages were much the same, no longer possessing their usual profound and unruffled demeanor.
Amidst the collective fury of the sages.
Jiang Yuan remained completely silent.
His phantom of divine consciousness stood quietly for a long time, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
Seeing this.
The others restrained themselves slightly, turning their attention to Jiang Yuan and cupping their fists in respect.
Elder Jiang, why have you not spoken a word for so long?
Could it be that you do not approve of our future descent into the world?
Elder Jiang, that junior possesses extremely high talent and has stepped onto the demonic path. If we do not eradicate him early on, I fear he will become a disaster for Cloud Star!
You absolutely must not harbor any pity for his talent and allow that demon to continue harming the common people!
Their words were full of righteousness, almost completely devoid of any audible selfish motives.
However.
Given the kind of existence Jiang Yuan was, a single sweep of his eyes saw through everything.
The anger overflowing from the sages' eyes made them look somewhat impatient. These fellow Daoists had clearly lost their heads. For their eternal states of mind to be swayed by mundane emotions and desires was truly beneath their status.
Becoming agitated before a battle even begins is by no means a good omen.
Seeing the delicate situation.
Jiang Yuan immediately waved his cloudy sleeve lightly, his deep voice resonating like a great bell.
Fellow Daoists, calm down and do not be impatient.
His deep voice channeled ancient, primal power, causing unfathomably profound Dao rhythms to flow around them.
Instantly.
The four sages felt as if they had been struck by a warning blow, and clarity returned to their eyes.
Jiang Yuan continued to speak, guiding and awakening the crowd.
Everyone.
This battle is imperative.
Since that junior has stepped onto the demonic path, I will absolutely not turn a blind eye. However, the short knife in his hands is quite bizarre, and it constantly makes me feel a bit uneasy. You must not underestimate him.
To be safe, waiting until we have all recovered our cultivation bases before descending together to eradicate the demon is the best strategy.
As his voice faded, the expressions of the sages varied.
Attack together? Isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill? Is Elder Jiang perhaps overestimating that demon?
Exactly. If we descend with our true bodies, we will be several times stronger than before. He will have absolutely no chance of a fluke victory; even saving his own life would be a mere fantasy!
Brother Lei makes sense! Even if that demon has a bizarre ancient artifact in hand, it will be hard to bridge the gap in cultivation!
Indeed! With our true bodies descending, we can also use our respective divine abilities. That demon has no chance of winning!
The four sages had cold eyes and faces full of arrogance.
Even with Jiang Yuan personally instructing them, it could not suppress their conviction of absolute victory. Jealousy and humiliation secretly caused mischief, making it impossible for these giants to completely calm down.
Having no other choice, Jiang Yuan could only make a final decision with a deep voice!
Everyone!
This matter is settled. No one is allowed to descend into the world alone without authorization!
A single glance carried the oppressive weight of a mountain, intimidating all the sages present.
After each cupped their fists in acknowledgment, they scattered and left. Even if some felt indignant deep in their eyes, they dared not show any signs of dissent on the surface.
Once the divine consciousnesses of the sages dissipated.
Only Jiang Yuan's phantom remained in the sky. He gazed into the vast world, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Could it be that I am really being too cautious?
The short knife in that junior's hands is truly bizarre, and his talent is far too outstanding. In the current Cloud Star, he is an anomaly that should not exist.
With such an exceptional junior around, why did I not sense him at all during my slumber?
After murmuring a few sentences.
The doubts in Jiang Yuan's heart only deepened.
Yet when he looked down upon the world, everything was still within his sight. All matters of Cloud Star could not escape the insight of his divine consciousness, and there was nothing special to be found. The existence of Pork Rong seemed to be merely an accident.
Finally, clarity returned to Jiang Yuan's eyes.
Never mind.
No matter how monstrous his talent is, he is only at the mid-stage of Heavenly Transformation. Just as my fellow Daoists said, as long as we descend with our true bodies, there will absolutely be no mistakes. Even if other demons collude with him, they will still have no chance of winning.
Back then, I could sever the demonic path with a single finger; today, I can still protect all living beings of Cloud Star.
After saying this, Jiang Yuan's phantom of divine consciousness dissipated into nothingness.
His unfathomable methods were far beyond what the mortals of Cloud Star could imagine. When he descended with his true body in the future, it would be with the invincible posture of a god.
At that time, everything in the world would be like dust.
This kind of terrifying ancient existence possessed fearsome secret arts to cross epochs. They had long surpassed the mundane Great Dao of life and death. Even ancient texts held no records of them, and no legends could compare to them.
Cultivators from all realms did not even have the qualifications to hear of them, let alone perceive them.
Cloud Star remained as usual, with all living beings bustling about.
Only Pork Rong felt the terror of this sage deeply, knowing better than anyone that an earth-shattering event was about to happen!
At this moment.
The instant Pork Rong's front foot landed on the pier, he sprinted madly toward Shadow Island!
Something huge has happened, something huge is going to happen!
His panicked appearance left Qing Huan Xiang looking completely bewildered.
What's wrong with Rong?
What could make him so flustered? Could it be swine flu?
Before the muttering could settle, Old Turtle was already walking over, shouting from afar.
You old geezer!
Hurry up and get off work to go fishing. Today we must decide a winner. If you lose, you're treating me to a whole roasted sheep!
The moment these words rang out.
Qing Huan Xiang immediately took off his bamboo hat, grabbed his fishing rod, and rushed onto the pier!
Hehe!
The way I see it, you are definitely paying for today's softshell turtle soup!
The two old friends gave no ground to each other. In the blink of an eye, they walked together toward the artificial lake in the city.
As for the forgotten Pork Rong, he had already charged into the city!
Moving like lightning along the way, his fat figure spun his legs so fast he was practically comparable to a Yamaha motorcycle. Who knew how many cars were left in his dust, shocking the pedestrians along the sidewalks into endless heated discussions.
Holy crap?
What just flew past!
That flashy fat figure, and the pig-killing knife on his back... was that Pork Rong?
Oh my goodness, even Pork Rong can run that fast. Is something huge really about to happen?
Ha! What huge thing could he have? He's probably just in a hurry to find some widow!
Hahaha...
After a burst of roaring laughter, the pedestrians scattered.
A bus slowly drove by. Xiong Fen and his father shook their heads and chuckled gently. Dressed in neat and bright work uniforms, they sat in the front row, their eyes full of a breezy, carefree ease.
Catching a glimpse from the corner of his eye, he called out to his coworker to speed up the driving.
The vehicle drove out of the city, with motivational quotes echoing endlessly along the way.
Everyone, you have to work hard! The second phase of the project is almost over. Let's hurry up and work some overtime, and tonight I'll treat you all to a late-night snack!
"That is right! If we want to make it big, we have to strive for the top! Just now, others were watching the spectacle, but you absolutely must not follow their example. The time they spent laughing could have been used on the construction site to move who knows how many bricks!"
"If they love to watch the drama, let them watch. What major event could possibly happen here on our Shadow Island? Even if the sky falls and the earth shatters on the Cloud Star, who could do anything to our Shadow Island? You need to take this opportunity to work more overtime, that is the key!"
"Brothers, you must remember, the Great Dao of the Hustle values persistence! As long as you keep grinding, everyone has a chance to become a captain!"
After a few lines of classic motivational chicken soup, the workers were all pumped up with adrenaline!
"Let's grind!"
"The boss is right, I am going to work ten more shifts!"
A wave of passionate cheers drifted out of the city limits, while Pork Rong's wildly sprinting figure ran in the opposite direction. He charged into the neon-lit downtown area, once again drawing waves of attention and heated discussions.
Even so.
Pork Rong never stopped his steps. He ran all the way to the towering television tower in the city center in one breath. Not even daring to waste time waiting for the elevator, he forcefully sprinted up the stairs to the upper floors!
The moment he threw open the office doors, a breathless voice desperately screamed from the depths of his throat!
"Fifth Miss!"
"Something, something terrible is about to happen! A disaster is coming!"
This sudden, urgent cry caught everyone off guard, startling the people around the conference table into raising their eyes in unison. Including Su Yunyun, over a dozen personal disciples all turned their bewildered gazes toward him at this moment!

For three days and three nights, she had his body fished out of the river, and without hesitation, she kissed the bloated corpse of Lin Xuan.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
