"Seeing as you're quite the demonic talent, this Sovereign will grant you an opportunity—henceforth, you shall serve as my slave," Gu Qingfeng declared with an air of magnanimity.
Demon Pu was utterly numb.
Not only had this man taken all his assets, but now he had to become a slave too!
"Enough dawdling. Swear your oath now."
"I won't—"
"Hmm?" Gu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Demon Pu immediately backtracked, "I—I'm not worthy, my lord!"
"Indeed, your qualifications fall short, but given our... history, this Sovereign shall make an exception. Now, swear your gratitude and allegiance."
Thud!
Demon Pu dropped to his knees once more and began reciting the oath, tears welling in his heart. Damn it all... I’m so miserable!
So this was the truth—after enduring hardship, there was no sweetness, only more bitterness.
......
Half an hour later.
"Master, this is the imperial palace of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom. The Azure Demon Emperor resides within."
The Azure Demon Emperor? So he’s the ruler here.
Gu Qingfeng’s mind stirred. Back in the Eternal Dream, it was the Azure Demon Emperor who led the invasion of the Shadow Realm.
So the original’s here.
It made sense—the Shadow Realm wouldn’t fabricate a random demon for their test of loyalty.
Hehehe... At last, I’ll meet the living Azure Demon Emperor. Surely nothing will go wrong this time?
Beside him, Demon Pu shuddered at the sight of Gu Qingfeng’s signature grin—the very same one that had haunted his nightmares.
But now, he no longer feared nightmares.
Because the nightmare had become reality, standing right beside him.
"Master, at this hour, the Azure Demon Emperor should be in the White Fox Queen’s chambers. She’s renowned as the most beautiful vixen of the fox tribe, with unparalleled seductive arts. Lately, she’s ensnared the emperor’s heart—he visits her every night. If you wish to assassinate him, we should sneak in from the east and then—"
"AZURE DEMON EMPEROR! COME OUT AND FACE ME!!"
A thunderous roar cut Demon Pu off mid-sentence.
Horror twisted Demon Pu’s face as he stared at Gu Qingfeng, who had just bellowed at the palace gates, then at the swarm of guards now mobilizing.
I’m doomed.
"M-Master... What are you—?" Demon Pu trembled like a leaf.
"Shh." Gu Qingfeng patted his shoulder. "Just standard procedure, no need to freak out."
Without another word, Gu Qingfeng strode toward the palace entrance, reverting to his true form and unleashing his unrestrained human aura.
"Who dares trespass upon the imperial—"
Boom!
A gatekeeping demon at the Grandmaster realm exploded into a mist of blood.
More armored demons surged forth like a steel tide, and soon, even Divine Realm demons joined the fray.
As their numbers swelled, Gu Qingfeng’s excitement became unbearable.
Electric waves of euphoria coursed through him, his blood boiling with such intensity that crimson veins spiderwebbed across his eyes, staining his gaze with madness.
At the forefront, a Divine Realm monkey demon wielding a metal staff led the charge.
The demon’s eyes widened before contorting in rage. "So it’s just a lowly human? How dare you defile the imperial palace!"
Instead of anger, Gu Qingfeng burst into maniacal laughter.
Hehehe... PERFECT! This is paradise! Why didn’t I come sooner? Is this all you’ve got? I need MORE! MORE!
His deranged grin mirrored that of a demon preparing to refine children into elixirs—chilling to the bone.
"Arrogant fool!" The monkey demon bellowed. "Formations! Take him alive!"
A flood of demons surged forward, their coordinated assault like an unstoppable tsunami.
Yet Gu Qingfeng walked toward them as if embracing the sea, arms wide, utterly defenseless.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Blades and claws rained upon him, sparks flying as metal shrieked against his skin.
Simultaneously, a relentless chime echoed in his mind.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
You have been attacked by the Ten Thousand Demons Slaughter Formation!
Defense +100+100+100...
Cultivation +100+100+100...
......
Gu Qingfeng’s grin widened. So this is the benefit of formations! Individually, these weaklings can’t boost my stats anymore, but combined, they reach Divine Realm potency.
The gains were modest, but with numbers like this—
Hehehe... Come on! Give me more!
But soon, his laughter died.
The stat increases were dwindling.
A quick glance revealed why—the demons around him were dropping like flies, their bodies shattered by the recoil of their own attacks.
"Damn useless trash! Hey, monkey! Call for reinforcements!"
The monkey demon roared in fury and leapt skyward, his staff descending like a meteor aimed at Gu Qingfeng’s skull.
CLANG!
The impact reverberated across the battlefield—followed by a scream.
"ARGH!"
The monkey was sent flying, his hands mangled, bones exposed.
"Pathetic! This is why I hate glass cannons—no endurance!" Gu Qingfeng spat.
Where are the real fighters? The Divine Realm elites? The guard dogs? COME OUT ALREADY!
To lure out stronger prey, Gu Qingfeng gathered his energy and bellowed, his voice shaking the palace:
"AZURE DEMON EMPEROR! I HEARD YOUR WHITE FOX QUEEN IS THE FAIREST OF THE FOX TRIBE! WHY NOT SHARE HER WITH ME?"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."

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.
