"Fellow cultivators, after enduring countless battles, Gu Qingfeng must be at the end of his rope. With just a few more of you joining forces, he will surely fall!" The quasi-Emperor from the Fallen Feather Clan refused to give up, still shouting for aid.
Yet no one came to her rescue.
Some might arrive—but only after she and her companions perished, using their lives to exhaust Gu Qingfeng. Once the battle ended and Gu Qingfeng showed even the slightest sign of weakness, the hidden forces lurking in the shadows would undoubtedly swarm him.
"Keh keh keh... Little beauty, you’re quite the screamer. But when it comes to swaying hearts, you’re still far from skilled. Allow this Emperor to demonstrate."
With that, Gu Qingfeng swept his gaze across the void and declared, "Listen well, all of you! The invasion of the demonic heavens is the inevitable tide of fate. Not even the Heavenly Emperor can stop it—for while there is only one Heavenly Emperor, this time, three demonic lords descend upon us!
The Heart Demon Lord, the Longevity Demon Lord, and the Oath Demon Lord!
What hope does the Cangming Realm have to resist?"
His words plunged the world into silence. Many had known of the impending invasion, but none had expected three demonic lords instead of one. Could the Heavenly Emperor truly withstand three? Doubt gnawed at their faith.
Gu Qingfeng pressed on, "Even if the Heavenly Emperor could hold them off, the demonic lords are immortal, while the Emperor’s lifespan is finite. While he lives, the Cangming Realm may remain safe—but once he perishes, what then?
What will you use to resist?
Sooner or later, the Cangming Realm will fall to the demonic heavens. No matter how fiercely you struggle, it’s futile!
Wouldn’t it be wiser to submit to this Emperor—"
"Gu Qingfeng! Empty words mean nothing! Who says there are three demonic lords?" A voice echoed through the void, its origin and gender impossible to discern.
"Open your wretched eyes and see for yourselves!" Gu Qingfeng sneered. Three distinct demonic energies surged from his body—proof of the Heart, Longevity, and Oath Demon Lords’ power.
The quasi-Emperors observing recognized the authenticity of these forces. Stunned, they fell silent.
The void trembled with eerie stillness.
Seeing no further objections, Gu Qingfeng continued, "As the saying goes, a wise man submits to fate. This Emperor intends to establish the Demonic Heaven Sect. All who join shall be under my protection.
When the demonic heavens descend upon the Cangming Realm, none of you will suffer harm.
You all know my relationship with the demonic lords—we are kin. By joining my sect, you too shall become family.
And family does not fight family."
His words stirred many, particularly weaker cultivators below the quasi-Emperor realm. These were individuals with no hope of becoming the Heavenly Emperor, destined to be cannon fodder when the invasion came. Even ants cling to life—how much more so those who had cultivated for countless years?
Who would spend a lifetime striving for greatness only to throw it away?
If you can’t beat them, join them. Is that so wrong?
Not at all.
Then Gu Qingfeng delivered the final blow, swaying even the quasi-Emperors.
"Moreover, the benefits of joining my Demonic Heaven Sect surpass your wildest dreams. As you know, the demonic lords are immortal—and as you’ve witnessed in my battles, so am I.
The Heavenly Emperor cannot escape death, but by joining my sect, you may grasp the secret of eternal life!
In time, I will select the most loyal and capable among you to enter the demonic heavens, transforming into true demonic beings—ageless, deathless, everlasting!"
The word "immortality" struck the quasi-Emperors like a hammer.
Who wouldn’t crave eternal life?
Why else would they fight so desperately for the Heavenly Emperor’s throne?
Merely to prolong their existence.
Yet even the Heavenly Emperor would die—while the demonic lords never would.
Earlier, Gu Qingfeng’s promises had only tempted those below the quasi-Emperor realm. Most quasi-Emperors were already at the end of their lifespans, with few newly ascended.
They had feared nothing from the demonic lords because they might not live to see the invasion. But now, with immortality dangled before them—who could resist?
Even if Gu Qingfeng’s claims were lies... the mere possibility of eternal life was too alluring to ignore.
Becoming the Heavenly Emperor still meant eventual death. But joining the Demonic Heaven Sect? That might unlock the secret of the demonic lords’ immortality. Which was the greater temptation?
A cold voice suddenly cut through the void. "Hmph! Easier said than done. This so-called immortality would turn us into monsters, no different from the demonic lords!"
"Keh keh keh... Monsters? You’ve lurked in the shadows for millennia, living like corpses. Compared to the free and mighty demonic lords, who is the real monster?"
The voice fell silent.
"Besides, how can the demonic lords be called monsters? They are evolution! The ascension of life itself! Your so-called races, flesh, and forms are nothing but primitive existence compared to the transcendent beings of the demonic heavens.
Ants see humans as monsters—but do humans even glance at ants?"
Gu Qingfeng spoke with fanatical fervor, like a zealot preaching divine truth.
His words shook the crowd.
He was right.
Were they not like ants gazing upon humans?
Ants might view humans as grotesque, never comprehending the pleasures beyond their grasp.
Many wavered further—especially the weaker quasi-Emperors with no hope of claiming the Heavenly Emperor’s throne. Their attempts to tread the Emperor’s Path had been desperate gambles.
But now, another path lay before them—one even more enticing.
Suddenly, a distant voice cried out.
"Great Sect Master! I wish to join the Demonic Heaven Sect!"
A Heavenly Venerable rushed forward, prostrating himself before Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng nodded approvingly. "Good. Swear your loyalty."
The man hastily recited a binding oath.
"Since you are the first to join, though your strength is lacking, your devotion is commendable. This Sect Master names you the Right Protector of the Demonic Heaven Sect!"
"Many thanks, Great Sect Master!"
"Great Sect Master! We too wish to join! Grant us this honor!"
Streaks of light descended from the heavens—all Venerables of the highest order.
Gu Qingfeng laughed heartily, accepting them one after another, demanding oaths and bestowing titles.
More and more arrived, wave upon wave. In mere moments, over a hundred Heavenly Venerables had pledged allegiance.
Gu Qingfeng’s grin widened, though inwardly he fretted: Hurry up and send some real fighters, or this Sect Master will run out of puppets soon.
The herd mentality took hold.
Witnessing the spectacle, countless others could no longer resist and flocked to join the Demonic Heaven Sect.
Yet Gu Qingfeng was selective. Those below the Venerable realm were swiftly dismissed.
Far from discouraging the masses, his exclusivity only fueled their desperation to join.
The Heart Demon Lord and his three sworn demonic allies would never have imagined in their wildest dreams that, despite having severed all ties with the Cangming Realm, they still couldn’t escape Gu Qingfeng’s relentless exploitation. Who could they even complain to about this injustice?
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
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."
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?
