The Netherworld Lord stared blankly as the last of the heavenly treasures turned to ashes before his eyes.
He stood rooted in place for a long time, as if his soul had left his body.
At that moment, several figures hurried over.
Their faces twisted in horror at the sight of the completely emptied treasury.
"My Lord, what happened—"
Boom!
Before they could even finish speaking, the Netherworld Lord's fist exploded their heads like rotten melons.
"ARGH!"
He roared at the heavens, his killing intent so dense it was almost tangible. Unable to vent his fury on Gu Qingfeng, he could only take it out on his own subordinates.
"Spread my command—issue the Netherworld Soul Hunt Decree! No matter where he hides, whether in the heavens or the earth, Gu Qingfeng must be captured!"
......
Hidden within the Palm World, Gu Qingfeng remained unaware that the two most terrifying forces in existence had simultaneously issued warrants for his death.
To offend both the Celestial Court and the Netherworld was, in essence, to declare war on the entire world.
These two factions were simply too powerful—no one could withstand their combined might. Conversely, every other faction and individual would eagerly curry their favor.
Capturing Gu Qingfeng would not only bring rewards from both the Celestial Court and the Netherworld but also earn their goodwill. Why wouldn’t anyone jump at the opportunity?
Yet, even if Gu Qingfeng knew, he wouldn’t care. Not only would he not care, but he was also planning to loot the Eternal Divine Dynasty, the War God Temple, and the Jade Lake Holy Land next.
After all, when debts piled high enough, one stopped worrying. With enough lice, the itching didn’t matter anymore.
Since he had already decided to wreak havoc, he might as well turn the world upside down!
Then, he went to find Luo Li—first, he needed to deal with that immortal physique of hers.
Luo Li was still hanging there, barely clothed.
When she saw Gu Qingfeng approach, a flash of murderous intent and panic flickered in her eyes.
"You found the treas—AH! You bastard! I already told you where the treasury was! What more do you want?!"
"I was in the middle of looting when your father suddenly returned! Because of that, I lost out on countless treasures! Admit it—did you tip him off?!"
"My cultivation is sealed by you! How could I have warned him?!"
"Hmph! You won’t confess until the coffin’s nailed shut, is that it?"
Gu Qingfeng gave a light pinch.
"AH—!"
Luo Li cried out, her face twisting in a mix of pain and pleasure.
Huh?!
This little vixen was truly twisted—not only did she enjoy torturing others, but she also liked being tortured herself.
People like her were hard to handle. He’d have to escalate things.
"Little Corpse Charm!"
Gu Qingfeng summoned her immediately.
As his beloved little treasure, she naturally followed him everywhere.
Before entering the Holy Domain, he had stored her away in the Palm World.
"Master~ You called for me?"
"Yeah." Gu Qingfeng nodded, then paused. "You broke through again?"
Little Corpse Charm beamed. "All thanks to the Heavenly Blood you gave me, Master. Now, my strength rivals that of an Earthly Origin cultivator."
Gu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. "That’s way too fast. You’re almost catching up to me."
"Master, have you forgotten? I have the Corpse Emperor’s bloodline."
"That bloodline is this broken?"
Little Corpse Charm pouted. "Master, last time you saw me, you stuffed my mouth shut before I could explain. You never even gave me a chance to speak!
"The Corpse Emperor’s lineage exists beyond the Three Realms and the Five Elements. We cultivate pure strength, not realms. Because of that, as long as we consume enough blood, we grow stronger—no bottlenecks, no limits."
Holy shit!
Gu Qingfeng was stunned. "Does that mean if you had enough blood, you could reach Heavenly Emperor level?!"
Little Corpse Charm shook her head. "According to the inherited memories in my bloodline, the strongest of our lineage only ever reached a level comparable to a Heavenly Venerable.
"Because to become a Quasi-Emperor or Heavenly Emperor, one must comprehend the Great Dao and forge their own path.
"But since we don’t cultivate realms, we can’t comprehend the Dao. We can never become Emperors...
"Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless we drink the blood of an Emperor—and steal their Dao."
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes lit up instantly. As long as there was a way, it didn’t matter how difficult it was.
Emperor’s blood? Fine. He couldn’t take on a Quasi-Emperor now, but that didn’t mean he never would. When the time came, he’d arrange it for Little Corpse Charm.
If he could nurture her into a Heavenly Emperor, then have her attack him—wouldn’t that make him a Heavenly Emperor too?
This wasn’t a new idea for Gu Qingfeng.
Cultivating to Heavenly Emperor himself wasn’t impossible, but it was too much trouble.
After struggling all this way to reach his current strength, shouldn’t he enjoy the fruits of his labor?
Keep grinding? No thanks.
It’d be far easier to raise a demonic subordinate to Heavenly Emperor and then leech off them.
Originally, he had planned to find a Quasi-Emperor-level demon. But after learning the truth from the Righteous Sun Heavenly Lord, he abandoned that plan.
All Quasi-Emperors were in deep slumber, waiting for the Emperor’s Path to open. They were impossible to find.
And even if he did wake one prematurely, their weakened state would make them easy prey on the Emperor’s Path.
But now? With Little Corpse Charm, a Heavenly Emperor was within reach!
As long as she had enough blood, she could skyrocket in strength. A Quasi-Emperor wasn’t just a dream—it was inevitable!
Plus, she had been with him the longest. She was loyal, obedient, and useful.
As for whether she’d betray him after becoming a Heavenly Emperor? Gu Qingfeng wasn’t worried.
Not only had she long since been molded by him, but with his system, betrayal meant nothing.
She was bound to him by a master-servant contract, the Goddess-Slaying Physique, and... other methods of ensuring loyalty.
In the span of a thought, Gu Qingfeng made his decision—he would raise Little Corpse Charm into a Heavenly Emperor!
"Master~ What are you thinking about? You’ve been silent for so long. And who is this tied-up sister here?" Little Corpse Charm leaned against him, her voice soft.
"Oh, right. Almost forgot the main point." Gu Qingfeng gestured at Luo Li. "I called you here today so you can educate her, just like you did with Princess Qinglin, the White Fox Queen."
Of course, this wasn’t because he was a pervert. The real goal was her immortal physique.
The Samsara Immortal Physique was on par with the Chaos Embryo—it couldn’t be plundered like other constitutions.
He needed Luo Li’s cooperation, but asking nicely was pointless. She’d never agree.
So? Little Corpse Charm would handle it.
As a woman herself, she had a way with women.
Back then, the White Fox Queen, Princess Qinglin, and the others had all been "educated" by her. By the time she was done, they were all perfectly obedient.
"Understood, Master. Leave it to me~"
Little Corpse Charm’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she gazed at Luo Li’s delicate form.
She licked her lips and stepped forward, her cold, silky fingers caressing Luo Li’s cheek.
"What a pitiful little thing you are~"
Luo Li shuddered at the touch, goosebumps rising. "What are you—?! You vile creature, if you dare—!"

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.
