No sooner had Immortal Empress Xihe's voice faded than a deafening boom resounded—like the very heavens collapsing.
The firmament trembled, and stars plummeted in chaotic disarray.
An unimaginable, heaven-engulfing demonic aura surged forth, enveloping the entire Chongming Immortal Clan.
Sensing this familiar demonic pressure, the Quasi-Immortal King of the Lie family turned pale with shock. "It's him! This power... Gu Qingfeng has come to slaughter us!"
Countless members of the Chongming Immortal Clan, including Immortal Empress Xihe, cast their gazes upward.
They saw a magnificent man with black hair and black robes suspended high in the firmament. He was handsome and spirited, with a look of disdain in his eyes. With arms crossed over his chest, he indifferently scanned the entire territory of the Chongming Immortal Clan.
It was none other than Gu Qingfeng.
"It's the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor!"
"He killed our clan's Young Master, yet he still dares to come to the Chongming Immortal Clan?"
The crowd exclaimed in shock, with many recognizing Gu Qingfeng immediately.
After all, in recent times, he was the most prominent figure in the entire Star Ruins; his fame was unparalleled.
He had facilitated the rise of an Immortal King, helped thousands of immortals survive their tribulations, suppressed the heirs of Immortal Kings, and possessed six Immortal King weapons. Any single one of these achievements would be enough to make a person's name resound throughout the starry sky. The fact that one man had accomplished them all made his presence utterly earth-shattering.
Gu Qingfeng walked step by step toward the Chongming Immortal Clan's territory. With each step he took, heaven and earth trembled, the stars swayed, and the void beneath his feet cracked into countless shocking fissures.
Furthermore, a terrifying demonic light rose slowly from his body. Within that aura, scenes resembling hell itself seemed to manifest, with billions of phantom demon gods roaring and raging with tyrannical fury.
Such was the terror of his demonic might that weaker members of the Chongming Clan felt their hearts tremble and their courage fail at a mere glance, overcome by a suffocating sensation.
It turned out that the violent booming sound heard earlier was the sound of him shattering the void as he walked through the air.
He stood before the Great Mountain Protection Formation and declared with disdain, "Hand over the murderer who killed this Emperor's family members. If you do, I might consider sparing your lives. If not, the Chongming Clan shall cease to exist in this world."
These domineering and aggressive words instantly enraged the Chongming clansmen. As a lofty Immortal King clan flowing with the blood of Immortal Kings, they were incredibly noble. When had anyone ever dared to come to their doorstep and demand people?
Let alone the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor, even if an Immortal King came, they wouldn't demand someone in such a manner.
"Where did this mad demon come from? How dare you provoke my Chongming Immortal Clan! Are you tired of living?"
"You bastard! Are you blind? Do you have any idea where you are?"
Countless members of the Chongming Immortal Clan shouted curses.
Immediately, some hot-tempered clansmen prepared to rush out and teach Gu Qingfeng a lesson.
Just then, a red figure, ethereal as an immortal, flew out from the depths of the Chongming Immortal Clan's territory.
Barefoot, her snowy-white feet stepped onto the void as she ascended to face Gu Qingfeng from a distance.
"It's Immortal Empress Xihe!"
"To think the Empress herself has been disturbed. Why does the Empress need to appear for a mere mad demon?"
Immortal Empress Xihe raised her hand slightly to silence the surging, indignant clansmen.
Glancing faintly at Gu Qingfeng, she asked calmly, "Are you the Heavenly Tribulation Emperor, Gu Qingfeng?"
Gu Qingfeng stared at her curvaceous figure and smiled with wicked charm. "Immortal Empress Xihe? I never imagined that old mongrel, the Chongming Immortal King, would have such a stunning wife. It seems my trip today won't be in vain.
"Since that's the case, the conditions have changed. Now, your Chongming Clan must not only hand over the murderer of my family, but you must also hand over yourself!
"How can the Chongming Immortal King enjoy such a peerless beauty all alone? This Emperor also wants to taste the flavor of an Empress to see how it differs from mortal women. Jie jie jie..."
Gu Qingfeng's arrogant posture and audacious words instantly ignited the wrath of the Chongming Immortal Clan.
"Bastard! How dare you blaspheme the Chongming Immortal King and Immortal Empress Xihe! You will die today!"
"Lady Empress, let us go and kill this mad demon!"
Immortal Empress Xihe's beautiful face instantly turned frosty. Her aura shifted drastically as terrifying immortal light rose from her body, causing the colors of the world to change.
She was revealed to be a Quasi-Immortal King!
Moreover, her imposing might was significantly stronger than even three Quasi-Immortal Kings combined at their peak.
It seemed this woman didn't become the Empress solely on her looks, but also due to her terrifying strength.
Her power was second only to Gu Ruochen before he became an Immortal King.
Back then, Gu Ruochen was a peak Quasi-Immortal King, only a step away from the Immortal King realm, and was considered the strongest person beneath the Immortal Kings.
Since Immortal Empress Xihe was second only to Gu Ruochen, the extent of her strength was evident.
Just as Immortal Empress Xihe was about to lash out, suddenly!
Another beam of immortal light shot out.
When the light dissipated, a very short, familiar figure appeared in the void.
"Elder Demon Gu! You have some nerve! How dare you insult my Queen Mother!"
The short figure shouted curses.
Gu Qingfeng looked closely and immediately laughed.
Because the newcomer was none other than his 'good son,' Ye Wuyou.
Since being adopted by the Chongming Immortal King as a foster son, Ye Wuyou's life had reached its peak. First, he fused with the Chongming bloodline, transforming into a Chongming clansman and gaining the power of the Double Pupils. Then, utilizing the resources of the entire Chongming Clan, his cultivation skyrocketed.
With ample resources, the terrifying potential of the Demonic Infant was fully realized.
He had essentially unlocked a 'protagonist template,' shining brilliantly within the Chongming Immortal Clan. He repeatedly broke various clan records and remained undefeated among his peers, solidifying his reputation as a supreme prodigy.
Everyone said his talent was several times greater than the previous Young Master, Yuwen Xiong.
As the foster son of the Chongming Immortal King, Ye Wuyou was naturally also the foster son of Immortal Empress Xihe. Seeing Gu Qingfeng acting presumptuously, he immediately stepped forward to protect his mother, vowing to leave a good impression on his foster mother.
Who knows, perhaps the next Young Master would be him.
Most importantly, Ye Wuyou had found a backer. Seeing his former foster father who had abused him in every possible way, hatred naturally surged like a tide. How could he hold back?
He had cultivated diligently for countless days and nights for what purpose? Was it not to one day slay his foster father with his own hands?
Although his strength had not yet reached its peak, since Gu Qingfeng had sought his own death by coming to the Chongming Immortal Clan to run wild, Ye Wuyou naturally didn't mind taking his revenge early.
"Jie jie jie... Isn't this this Emperor's good son, Gu Wuyou? So you were abducted by the Chongming Clan. No wonder this Emperor couldn't find you," Gu Qingfeng laughed wildly.
Ye Wuyou snorted coldly, "Shut up! Elder Demon Gu! Listen to me well. I have been adopted by the Chongming Immortal King. My name is now Yuwen Wuyou!
"You killed my family and forced me to acknowledge a thief as my father. There hasn't been a day where I didn't want to take revenge. Today, you dare to run wild in my Chongming Immortal Clan? It is the perfect opportunity to settle all debts, old and new!"
"Jie jie jie..." Gu Qingfeng threw his head back and laughed maniacally. "My son Wuyou, I never imagined that after being separated for so long, you wouldn't even call me 'Foster Father' upon our reunion."

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.

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."

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?!

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.
