The wind in Blackstone Valley howled, sweeping up sharp, jagged stones that struck the cliff walls with crisp cracks.
So many!
Far too many!
Densely packed undead souls, among which were hundreds of powerful Chaos Incarnations, surrounded Ye Chuan. Floating in their midst, he looked like an emperor ruling over the undead.
Watching the Demon King girl approaching step by step, Ye Chuan's Human Emperor Banner hovered in midair, its fluttering sound making the surrounding air buzz.
"Go!"
The undead had already covered the entire valley, blotting out the sky and completely blocking the sunlight. They formed a domain of darkness, fiercely lunging toward the Demon King girl. The ground trembled slightly under the crushing weight of the undead army!
"Die..." the Demon King girl finally spoke. Her voice was cold and hollow, like a whisper from the abyss. Hearing it made the blood in one's veins run cold.
She slowly raised the pitch-black greatsword in her hand. The dark purple evil flames on the blade instantly surged, dancing wildly like boiling magma!
With the release of her magic power, the space around the blade began to twist and fold. A pitch-black slash, far surpassing the previous ones, materialized out of thin air!
"Slash!"
As the word fell, the slash blasted out like the collapse of a dark canopy, instantly piercing through the formation of a million undead.
There was no earth-shattering collision, only the crisp sounds and shrill wails of undead being annihilated in swathes. The spirit bodies along the path turned into ash filling the sky. With just one sword strike, over a hundred thousand undead were reduced to nothingness!
What was even more terrifying was that the gray mist and spirit light motes of the dead undead did not dissipate. Instead, as if drawn by an invisible force, they turned into streaks of grayish-black airflow, madly converging toward the Demon King girl's greatsword and flowing into her body along the blade!
The dark magic power around the Demon King instantly skyrocketed, becoming increasingly dense like an inflating balloon. The dark purple evil flames lingering around her danced even more violently, and her aura actually seemed to climb higher.
She was absorbing the souls and magic power of the undead, converting them into her own life and strength!
"?" Ye Chuan's mouth twitched. With that one strike, over a hundred thousand undead became the opponent's nourishment. The human wave tactic was not only useless, but it was also healing her!
How could there be such a disgusting thing?
Attacks couldn't break her defense!
The opponent could even heal!
And her damage was so high!
This is absolute hell!
Ye Chuan's past opponents: Ah, yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what we thought too.
Ye Chuan didn't dare let his divine souls go to their deaths anymore. He hurriedly activated the Human Emperor Banner, and the remaining spirit bodies retreated into the banner like a receding tide. The banner instantly returned to calm and was hastily stored in his backpack.
Directly summoning the magic sword Beiyana, Ye Chuan blinked over and fiercely slashed downward with the magic sword in his hand!
However, the Demon King girl merely raised her hand casually, holding the greatsword horizontally in front of her. The movement seemed slow, yet it accurately blocked Ye Chuan's attack.
"Clang!" A deafening, crisp sound of clashing metal turned into a shockwave that echoed throughout the valley, shattering the ground ring by ring!
Seeing that his blink attack was blocked, Ye Chuan didn't hesitate. His body spun in midair, and from bottom to top, his fist smashed viciously toward the Demon King's chin!
The space in front of him emptied. The Demon King girl teleported behind Ye Chuan like a phantom. Her dark red eyes showed no emotion as her greatsword swept out, slashing right into Ye Chuan!
"Pfft—" Spitting out a mouthful of lifeblood, Ye Chuan's figure blinked away to escape. Under several flashes of green light, he recovered his condition in an instant.
"This won't work. This thing is not only two major realms higher than me, but it also has damage immunity." This was also Ye Chuan's first time encountering a Tier 9 opponent.
"Cognitive Pollution."
With a flash of black light, the Demon King's body stiffened, and her movements slowed down for a moment.
"It's working!"
Just as Ye Chuan spoke, a new window appeared, leaving him stunned.
[New Tenant Discovered — Demon King]
[The strongest Demon King born of destiny in the Aether Continent. Possesses the magic of death; any living creature she touches will be stripped of life. She hates this power herself, but as time passed, she has lost herself in the long river of time.]
[Tenant Quality: A]
[Daily Gold Coins generated after tenant moves in: 100]
[Certain probability to obtain character-related items]
[Note: Affection level affects the reward limit]
A new tenant?
This Demon King is a new tenant?!
You really know how to pick targets!
Ye Chuan dodged another sword strike. The Demon King's sword aura had instantly leveled the mountain range behind him. Seeing the emotionless girl who was unwilling to communicate with him, he twitched the corner of his mouth.
Even Cognitive Pollution couldn't stop her steps.
Haji Demon, you bastard.
Ye Chuan's body rapidly retreated several miles in midair. Hundreds of buff halos intertwined and flowed over his body, as dazzling as a rainbow!
After stacking all the buffs he thought he could use, his aura instantly reached its absolute peak.
Ye Chuan abruptly raised his hand, gathering a pure grayish-white energy blast in his palm!
Origin Pulse!
As the source power of magic, the beam of energy radiated dazzling light, twisting the surrounding space into folds!
With a tearing sound that ripped through space, it blasted viciously toward the Demon King girl, scorching the air along its path until it was slightly hot.
But when the Origin Pulse landed on the Demon King girl, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
She didn't even raise her hand to defend. She merely lowered her eyes slightly, allowing the Origin Pulse to smash against her armor with its world-destroying might.
The energy sphere instantly dissipated, scattering into countless golden and black motes of light like a blooming firework. The dark purple evil flames on the Demon King's armor flickered slightly.
The armor completely swallowed the dissipated energy, not leaving the slightest scratch on its surface. Even the Demon King's aura hadn't fluctuated in the least, as if that powerful attack just now was nothing more than a passing breeze.
Currently, the only damage Ye Chuan had managed to inflict was merely the negative effect brought by Cognitive Pollution.
"Lovely girl, how about we have a chat?"
A wave of powerlessness surged in Ye Chuan's heart. He finally realized that this Tier 9 Demon King before him was far stronger than he had imagined!
His trump card moves were like a tickle to her, while her attacks could easily slay his divine souls and incarnations.
Hearing Ye Chuan speak, the Demon King remained unmoved.
A block of wood.
A block of wood even colder than Qian Shuang!
"Stalling for time isn't a solution either. At this rate, I'll be worn down to death sooner or later..."
Ye Chuan turned around, wanting to put some distance between them, but the Demon King girl had already teleported behind him. Her greatsword, carrying a lethal aura, slashed fiercely at his back.
"A sneak attack?!" Ye Chuan's body crashed into the ground, shattering the earth. After healing his injuries, he stood back up.
"Sneak attacking a twenty-year-old youth like me."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Chuan's vision went black. The Demon King had appeared in front of him at some unknown moment. From such a close distance, he could see her expressionless, pretty face, and hear a faint voice:
"You... cannot be killed?"
Ye Chuan only felt his vision go completely dark.
[You died]
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

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...

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."

A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
