The mighty figures of the Cangming Realm stared in horror at the terrifying gaping hole blasted open by Old Ghost.
The roaring sound of rushing water surged like a tidal wave, so vast it seemed capable of sweeping away the entire Cangming Realm, as if the mortal world would be obliterated beneath its deafening echoes.
Suddenly, black water began oozing from the black hole, carrying an ominous and forbidden aura as it seeped into the Cangming Realm. Wherever the black water passed, the vitality of all things was instantly stripped away, and even the void itself disintegrated.
"That’s... a passage to the Demon Realm of Heavenly Fiends!"
"The Heavenly Fiends are descending!"
"The Cangming Realm is doomed!"
Countless powerers panicked, never expecting this day to arrive so swiftly.
The sinister aura spread relentlessly, and within the black hole, something colossal seemed to writhe. With each step it took, a dreadful sound reverberated, as though it were struggling to break free from its shackles and force its way into this world.
At that moment, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao blazed with radiant light, sending endless silver brilliance toward the black hole like a cascading waterfall, firmly sealing the gap.
The black water from the hole continued to surge forth, fiercely clashing with the silver radiance. For a time, the two forces remained locked in a stalemate.
Old Ghost grinned in satisfaction. Though his earlier strike had cost him a significant portion of his lifespan, the results were excellent—he had shattered the final barrier of the inter-realm passage, summoning the Heavenly Fiends to distract the Heavenly Dao. His goal was to buy himself time to devour the other Heavenly Emperors.
Now, he was racing against time. Once his secret technique was activated, it could not be stopped. It granted him immense power but at the cost of burning his lifespan at a rate millions of times faster than normal, continuing until his death. This was the ultimate trump card of his lineage, a technique only races with naturally long lifespans like his could afford to use.
But if he succeeded in devouring the Heavenly Dao of the Cangming Realm and ascending to a higher level of existence, all would be well. Failure meant death.
Previously, without Gu Qingfeng to share the burden, the Heavenly Dao’s interference had prevented him from activating the technique. But now, the Heavenly Dao was powerless to stop him.
Old Ghost’s current task was to swiftly consume all the Emperor Corpses, pushing his strength to its peak before joining forces with the Heavenly Fiends to overthrow the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao seemed to sense Old Ghost’s intentions and immediately opened the Heavenly Gate.
A colossal portal materialized in the sky, within which stood countless god-like figures—the projections of the Three Thousand Emperors and Monarchs from past and present.
Of course, the actual number fell short of three thousand, as several hundred Emperor Corpses had already devoured their own projections.
Even so, the descent of so many Heavenly Emperors unleashed a terrifying pressure. Boundless imperial might erupted, and countless divine runes blazed like thousands of suns crashing into the mortal world.
These Heavenly Emperors converged on Old Ghost, intent on slaying him.
But Old Ghost, empowered by his lineage’s secret technique, could not be stopped by mere numbers. However, he had no interest in fighting—his priority was hunting down the Emperor Corpses.
Fortunately, having lived for hundreds of millions of years, Old Ghost possessed an unimaginable arsenal of tricks and mastered countless arts.
Before long, he located and devoured each of the hidden Heavenly Emperors one by one.
As his power swelled, Old Ghost’s gloomy mood gradually brightened.
Though the process had been unpleasant, the outcome was favorable.
He resolved that once his strength peaked, he would immediately assist the Heavenly Fiends in their descent. Alone, he stood no chance against the Heavenly Dao.
Only by leveraging the chaos brought by the Heavenly Fiends could he seize his opportunity.
......
The Forbidden Land of Primordial Beginnings.
"Damn that Old Ghost! I saved him, and he dares to scheme against me? Truly, no good deed goes unpunished," Gu Qingfeng grumbled.
"Fortunately, I have family everywhere. I’ve always been virtuous and helpful, so even when trapped, my family will come to my aid from millions of miles away."
Little Corpse Charm tilted her head. "Master, who is this family you speak of?"
Gu Qingfeng smirked. "The Heavenly Fiends, of course."
"The Heavenly Fiends?" Little Corpse Charm blinked in confusion but didn’t press further. In her eyes, her master was invincible—no challenge could ever defeat him.
She was only concerned about one thing.
"Master, when are you finally going to sleep with the Heavenly Emperor?"
"Keh keh keh... Has our peerless beauty, the Bright Moon Heavenly Emperor, grown impatient?" Gu Qingfeng chuckled darkly.
He wasn’t the least bit worried. Not only was his "family" coming, but even if they didn’t, these reinforced Heavenly Dao chains couldn’t hold him.
He could escape just as before—by discarding most of his Sinful Origin.
This was possible because, unlike the Abandoned Heavenly Emperor, he wasn’t inherently Sinful—he merely possessed it.
But he couldn’t be bothered. The enhanced Sinful Origin was too vast, and separating it would take days of tedious effort. If his predictions were correct, Old Ghost would make his move within a day.
He was certain of this because his Golden Eye of Truth had witnessed all of Old Ghost’s actions.
And just as Gu Qingfeng anticipated, Old Ghost had achieved a breakthrough.
He had finally devoured all the fleeing Heavenly Emperors, reaching an unprecedented level of power.
Then, he stopped consuming them. He had no intention of heading to the Forbidden Land of Primordial Beginnings to confront the Bright Moon Heavenly Emperor—overcoming an Emperor who wielded the Mandate of Heaven would be difficult, especially with the Heavenly Dao’s interference.
Moreover, he was deeply wary of Gu Qingfeng. Even sealed away, Gu Qingfeng gave him an inexplicable sense of unease. It was better to leave the Bright Moon Heavenly Emperor alive, letting her exhaust the Heavenly Dao’s strength in her attempts to rescue Gu Qingfeng.
Old Ghost believed his reasoning was flawless. If he tried to devour the Bright Moon Heavenly Emperor, both she and the Heavenly Dao would attack him. But if he left her alone, she would focus on freeing Gu Qingfeng, indirectly weakening the Heavenly Dao—effectively making her his ally against it.
He wasn’t a fool. The choice was obvious.
"Keh keh keh..."
Old Ghost threw his head back and laughed wildly, convinced that victory was within his grasp. Against all odds, fate was on his side!
As the Three Thousand Emperors and Monarchs closed in, his fighting spirit surged. With a thunderous roar, he unleashed his power.
"Chaos Without Limit!"
Boom—!
An endless tide of chaotic energy erupted from Old Ghost’s body, forming a vast sea of chaos that surged toward the Three Thousand Emperors and Monarchs.
Had Gu Qingfeng been present, he would have been stunned—Old Ghost possessed a perfected Chaos Physique, and not just any ordinary one. His was forged from a fusion of a thousand constitutions and ten thousand bloodlines.
This wasn’t surprising. After all, who else but Old Ghost could have created the Immortal-Demon Body Refining Art?
Having lived for hundreds of millions of years, he had traversed every corner of the Cangming Realm, amassing every conceivable physique and lineage.
Bolstered by his overwhelming strength, Old Ghost’s perfected Chaos Physique surpassed even Gu Qingfeng’s. With a single strike, he shattered the encirclement of the Three Thousand Emperors and Monarchs, annihilating several Heavenly Emperors in the process.
However, he did not linger in battle. Instead, he swiftly broke through the encirclement and flew toward the inter-realm passage.
When he arrived at the passage, he saw the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Demons still locked in a stalemate. A vicious grin immediately twisted his lips.
"Today, the heavens shall fall!"
Old Ghost revealed his true form, raising his colossal tortoise leg—like a pillar of the sky—and gathered all his power before delivering a devastating kick to the inter-realm passage.
With that single strike, the world fell into silence. A vast surge of divine power swept across the heavens and the earth.
BOOM!
The entire Cangming Realm trembled violently!
And then... the sky collapsed!
Old Ghost’s kick had shattered the firmament itself, reducing it to countless fragments that rained down like an endless shower of light.
Behind the broken sky lay an abyss of infinite darkness—like a black ocean teeming with countless indistinct creatures, each exuding an aura of corruption. The slightest contact with them would drag ordinary beings straight into the cycle of reincarnation.
At the far end of this black abyss stood three terrifying entities, as eternal as the cosmos itself, completely untouched by the flow of time.
They were too vast, too towering—their full forms impossible to perceive with mortal eyes. Only a fraction of their presence could be glimpsed.
Threads of dark corruption coiled around them, accompanied by eerie demonic whispers that echoed across existence. Any living being who heard them would instantly plunge into endless darkness, forever lost.
At this moment, all life in the Cangming Realm fell into stunned silence.
"The... the Heavenly Demons! The Outer Realm Demons!!"
"The demons have descended! There’s no hope left for us!"
"Heavens above, who will save the countless lives of the Cangming Realm?! I don’t want to die!"
Old Ghost, upon seeing the three Heavenly Demons, burst into maniacal laughter. "Kekeke... Fellow Daoists of the Heavenly Demons, it was I who opened the passage for you! Our goals align—let us destroy the Cangming Realm together!"
The gazes of Xin Shoushi and the other two Heavenly Demons pierced across the endless void, locking onto Old Ghost.
Suddenly, the voice of a Heavenly Demon boomed, shaking the heavens and the earth:
"Aligned goals? What worthless trash are you? Where is Gu Qingfeng?"
Old Ghost’s triumphant grin froze on his face.
Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that the first words uttered by the Heavenly Demons upon their descent... would be a demand for Gu Qingfeng!

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
