Witnessing this scene, Gu Qingfeng's smile gradually widened.
Talk about perfect timing—just when he needed a pillow, one came flying his way.
The next moment, the black lotus struck his body and shattered explosively.
Instantly, Gu Qingfeng was encased in a thick layer of black ice.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Fire Attribute +10,000 +10,000 +10,000 +......
Fire Attribute has reached its limit. Congratulations, Host—your Fire Spirit Body has advanced to a Fire God Body!
The Fire God Body—a sovereign among flames, capable of manipulating all fire in the world while also enhancing its destructive power.
Crack!
The black ice shattered, and Gu Qingfeng stepped out unharmed.
"Impossible!" The Fire Crow Taoist's face twisted in horror as he let out a frantic scream.
"Kekekeke..." Gu Qingfeng gave a sinister chuckle. "This is just the beginning. Watch closely."
He raised his right hand, fingers curling as if grasping the air.
"Flames, heed my call!"
At his command, the boundless black flames filling the space obeyed like divine decree, surging toward his palm in raging torrents of darkness.
The streams of black fire coalesced into a massive orb—a swirling void akin to a black hole.
This one was even larger than the one the Fire Crow Taoist had conjured earlier.
"Extreme Yang births Yin—Nether Yin Ghost Flame!"
The familiar incantation left Gu Qingfeng's lips.
A larger black lotus emerged from the abyss, drifting toward the Fire Crow Taoist.
The Fire Crow Taoist's soul nearly fled his body. Faced with mortal peril, he had no time to gawk. He knew all too well the lethality of the Nether Yin Ghost Flame—even a seventh-level Dragon Transformation cultivator would perish upon contact.
There was no blocking it—only dodging.
So, the Fire Crow Taoist dispelled his sealing array and turned to flee... only to slam straight into Gu Qingfeng's spatial barrier.
"Kekekeke... Weren’t you so bold earlier? Why run now?"
Gu Qingfeng controlled the black lotus, pursuing relentlessly. The Fire Crow Taoist had no breath left for words, desperately weaving through space in a frantic bid to escape.
Yet wherever the black lotus passed, everything froze. Endless black ice sealed off his evasion routes, shrinking his options further and further.
Finally—
The Fire Crow Taoist was cornered.
The black lotus loomed above him, its bone-chilling aura making his very soul feel as though it were freezing solid.
"No!!" The Fire Crow Taoist's eyes bulged with despair as he roared.
He channeled every ounce of his demonic energy, layering defenses before him—but nothing could halt the black lotus’s descent.
Just as it was about to consume him—
Snap!
A crisp sound rang out.
The black lotus shattered into nothingness.
"Want to live?" Gu Qingfeng stepped forward, looking down at the half-dead, trembling Fire Crow Taoist collapsed on the ground.
The Fire Crow Taoist froze for a moment before nodding frantically. "Yes!"
"Good. Get up and hit me."
The Fire Crow Taoist: "???"
Slap!
Gu Qingfeng backhanded him so hard his beak twisted sideways.
"Stand up. Use your full demonic power and hit me. Don’t make me repeat myself."
The Fire Crow Taoist seethed silently, too afraid to protest. He rose shakily, gathering his energy, still half-doubting Gu Qingfeng’s words.
Gu Qingfeng spread his arms, exposing his chest.
"Come on. Aim here."
Though suspicious, the Fire Crow Taoist saw no defenses—just an open invitation.
Hesitantly, he lashed out with a claw.
Mid-strike, he even stole glances at Gu Qingfeng's expression. But as the attack neared, his face twisted into vicious cruelty.
"Die!"
Boom!
The claw struck Gu Qingfeng’s chest dead-on.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Defense +20,000.
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. Why hadn’t he advanced yet?
"Again."
But the Fire Crow Taoist didn’t move. He stared dumbfounded at his own claw—now bent like a twisted branch—then at Gu Qingfeng’s unblemished chest, not even a scratch left behind. His mind short-circuited.
Slap!
"I said AGAIN, you deaf bastard!"
This slap actually straightened his beak back into place.
Pain and humiliation drove him to let out a furious howl. Gathering his demonic energy once more, he struck with his other claw.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Defense +20,000.
Slap!
"Again."
"AAAAAH!"
Boom!
Slap!
"AGAIN!"
......
After a dozen more brutal slaps, the Fire Crow Taoist’s face was no longer recognizable as a bird’s.
But now, his eyes held no anger—only abject terror.
A dozen full-powered attacks would have killed even a peak Dragon Transformation cultivator standing defenseless.
Yet this human remained completely unharmed!
And what about him?
His claws were shattered, his beak nearly knocked to the back of his skull.
Despite being a sixth-level Dragon Transformation demon, he was terrified. Truly terrified. This man was a monster—an indestructible monster!
For the first time in his life, he realized that hitting someone could be so excruciatingly painful.
"Kekekeke..." Gu Qingfeng suddenly burst into maniacal laughter. "I can feel the threshold! Just a little more! Come on, hit me again!"
Hearing that bone-chilling laugh, the Fire Crow Taoist curled into a trembling ball.
"G-Great One... please, no more... If I keep hitting you, I’ll die! Spare me!"
Slap!
"Shut the hell up! One last hit—I’m stuck halfway, and it’s unbearable!"
The Fire Crow Taoist looked down at his broken body and nearly wept.
"Great One... I’m fractured everywhere. I can’t..."
Slap!
"Are you stupid?! Use your head!"
The Fire Crow Taoist’s face paled further. Headbutt him?! That would kill him!
He shook his head violently, resisting with everything he had.
"Are you doing it or not? If not, I’ll castrate you."
"...Fine! Fine, I’ll do it!" The Fire Crow Taoist whimpered.
Thud!
He rammed his head into Gu Qingfeng’s chest.
Crack!
His skull split, his neck snapped—and he collapsed, unconscious.
Ding!
Host has been attacked by the Fire Crow Taoist.
Defense +10,000.
Congratulations, Host—Defense has reached its limit. Black Dragon Indestructible Body has advanced (Intermediate → Advanced).
"Kekekeke..." Gu Qingfeng laughed triumphantly. "Finally... FINALLY, I’ve advanced! My physical strength has reached the sixth level of Dragon Transformation!"
He glanced at the barely avian-shaped Fire Crow Taoist and kicked him. "Hey, stop faking. Wake up."
But the demon lay motionless, like a corpse.
Gu Qingfeng scowled. "Pathetic! First time seeing a demon knock itself out from hitting someone. Absolute trash!"
Cursing, he looted the Fire Crow Taoist’s body, retrieving a spatial ring. After wiping its imprint away, he rummaged inside and pulled out a healing pill.
Prying open the mangled beak, he dumped the entire bottle’s contents down the demon’s throat, then waited for him to wake up.
Although his physical body had reached the sixth level of the Dragon Transformation realm, it did not mean he was completely immune to the attacks of the Fire Crow Taoist—it merely reduced the damage significantly. Thus, there was still some scrap value left to exploit.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
