When Gu Qingfeng arrived at the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, he was stunned.
What a hellish scene this was!
The once prosperous and harmonious land, teeming with life, now lay in ruins. The mountains and rivers were shattered, and a deathly silence hung over the land—not a single living demon could be seen.
War, corpses, blood, and rubble had become the dominant colors of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.
Clearly, a devastating war had swept through the kingdom in recent days.
And it made sense. Even though the Azure Demon Emperor was the ruler of the kingdom, when an emperor began slaughtering his own people without restraint, even fools would eventually rise in rebellion.
But in a world where individual strength reigned supreme, sheer numbers meant nothing—especially when all the kingdom’s divine-level experts had been taken away.
This place had become nothing more than the Azure Demon Emperor’s personal slaughterhouse.
"Tsk tsk, how brutal. A once-great kingdom reduced to ashes by war. Truly, the Azure Demon Emperor is the villain here."
Gu Qingfeng ventured deeper into the land, feeling like a hero preparing to challenge the demon king—a lone warrior destined to end this chaos. His heart swelled with righteousness and purpose.
He unleashed his immense spiritual power, spreading it across the land to locate the Azure Demon Emperor. Soon, he detected a faint demonic aura in the southeast.
Without hesitation, he flew toward it.
When he arrived, he found only ruins—yet the demonic energy was emanating from beneath the rubble.
"Come out."
Gu Qingfeng’s voice rang out like an imperial decree. Suddenly, a fierce wind surged from the void, sweeping over the ruins.
Whoosh!
The wind cleared the rubble in an instant, exposing the bare ground beneath.
But the wind did not stop. It howled on, carving three feet deep into the earth.
Finally, movement came from below.
"Spare us!"
Swoosh, swoosh...
A dozen enormous gray-furred rats burst from the ground.
These rat demons were utterly terrified. The moment they emerged, they clasped their paws together and kowtowed frantically, begging for mercy.
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me..."
Their terror was palpable—it was clear they had endured unimaginable horrors.
But human sorrows are hard to share, let alone those between humans and demons.
Gu Qingfeng only found them noisy. He frowned. "Shut the hell up!"
A surge of his spiritual power sent the rat demons into convulsions, their souls trembling on the verge of shattering. Their pleas died instantly.
"Listen well. I’ll ask, you’ll answer. A single unnecessary word, and I’ll annihilate your bodies and souls. Nod if you understand."
The rat demons were too petrified to move, let alone nod.
Boom!
One rat demon exploded like a bomb, its blood and flesh splattering over the others.
Only then did the survivors snap into action, nodding like mad.
"Good. Now tell me—where is the Azure Demon Emperor?"
The mere mention of the name sent the rat demons into violent shudders, as if the words carried a curse. Some nearly fainted from fear.
Seeing their silence, Gu Qingfeng snorted. "So you fear him more than me?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, the rat demons exploded in sequence, left to right, until only one remained.
The last rat demon was beyond terror. What could be more horrifying than watching your kin explode in order?
Just as it braced for its own demise, the explosions stopped. But there was no relief—only a hollow, mind-numbing dread.
"Where is the Azure Demon Emperor?"
The cold voice came again. The rat demon jolted and stammered, "H-He’s in the capital! He’s gone mad, devouring demons left and right! The capital has the most, and the strongest... he must be there!
"Please, great one, that’s all I know! Spare me! I don’t want to die!"
"Relax. I’m nothing like that bloodthirsty tyrant. In fact, I’ve come to slay him and save the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom from ruin."
The rat demon gaped, as if hearing a fairy tale.
Without another word, Gu Qingfeng waved and left, not a single cloud trailing behind him.
Ah, another innocent life saved. How noble.
This chaos ends with me.
Soon, Gu Qingfeng reached the capital.
The ancient city, built over centuries by the toil of countless demons, now lay in ruins. The cultural treasures of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom—its pride and legacy—had all been consumed by war.
"Gu Qingfeng!!"
A roar filled with boundless killing intent erupted from the horizon.
A figure wreathed in demonic energy, wielding a blood-red demon banner and surrounded by countless vengeful spirits, streaked across the sky.
Boom!
The figure crashed into the ground like a meteor, splitting the earth and carving a crater several yards deep. Dust and debris filled the air.
When the dust settled, a face twisted with fury was revealed.
The Azure Demon Emperor!
Gu Qingfeng grinned excitedly at the dramatic entrance. "Such a flashy arrival. You must’ve devoured plenty to be this confident."
"Azure Demon Emperor, your cruelty has brought ruin to this land. Today, I—"
"Where are my consort and daughter?! Return them!" The Azure Demon Emperor’s roar cut off Gu Qingfeng’s righteous speech.
Damn it!
You’re ruining my image!
Seeing no witnesses around, Gu Qingfeng dropped the act and sneered. "Keh keh keh... Your daughter and consort are under my care. They say being with me is the first time they’ve truly known pleasure."
"AAAAAH!! I’LL KILL YOU!" The Azure Demon Emperor’s eyes nearly burst from rage. Without another word, he attacked.
He swung the Ten Thousand Demons Banner—and instantly, the countless demonic spirits surrounding him surged toward Gu Qingfeng like a tidal wave.
In that moment, the world itself seemed to transform into a realm of ghosts, every inch of space teeming with vengeful spirits.
Perfect!
Gu Qingfeng charged forward eagerly.
Within seconds, he was swallowed by the sea of spirits.
"Die!" the Azure Demon Emperor snarled.
But inside the swarm, Gu Qingfeng was baffled.
Why no system notification?
Indeed, no prompt sounded—and he hadn’t taken a single point of damage. The countless spirits brushed past him like a gentle breeze, harmless.
Slowly, he realized the truth: these spirits weren’t concentrated into a single attack. Though terrifying in number, their power was equivalent to countless sub-divine-level demons attacking at once.
And at his current strength, sub-divine-level demons couldn’t even scratch him.
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.
