The bloody wind of the Endless Devil Sea battered the suspended platform that stretched for a hundred miles along the shore.
This platform was jointly constructed by the top factions of the Four Great Divine Continents; even the Endless Devil Sea could not erode it in the slightest.
At this moment, the platform was already crowded with people. From aristocratic scions at the Golden Core Realm to sect patriarchs at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, tens of thousands of cultivators were densely scattered across the platform.
At the very front of the platform, exclusive areas for the major top factions had long been carved out.
On the far left was the camp of the Taichu Sacred Land. Ji Lingxuan, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe and holding a folding fan, stood at the front.
Behind him followed three Supreme Elders at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm who had been in secluded cultivation for years, their auras as steady as mountains.
And Master Taichu was also here. After all, the Divine Tomb was opening. As an Ascension Realm expert, it would be a lie to say he was not tempted by the treasure left behind by a peak Ascension Realm powerhouse.
Not far from Ji Lingxuan stood the other top factions of the Profound Heaven Continent.
For the Myriad Poison Sacred Land, the leader was an old woman in a black robe. She was surrounded by a dark green poisonous miasma, and her triangular eyes stared fixedly at the light door of the Divine Tomb, her eyes full of greed.
And she, too, was an Ascension Realm expert.
For the Divine Sword Sacred Land, the Sword Master was an expressionless white-clad swordsman. His sword intent soared into the sky. Even though he was just standing quietly, no one dared to approach within three rods of him, as if stepping half a pace closer would result in being cut by invisible sword qi.
For the Savage Divine Palace, the Palace Master was a burly man over ten feet tall. He was bare-chested, his bronze skin carved with savage runes. His aura was fierce and domineering, and his large bell-like eyes swept over the crowd, carrying an imposing pressure without him even showing anger.
They controlled the other keys.
There were also many other sacred lands, reclusive families, and sects on the platform. They had all sent elders to lead their teams, each of them possessing outstanding talent and formidable auras.
The top combat power naturally belonged to the sacred lands with Ascension Realm experts.
At this moment, everyone was waiting, waiting for the person holding the final key.
"Is this junior coming or not?" The old woman from the Myriad Poison Sacred Land finally could not help but break the silence with her hoarse voice, her tone full of impatience.
"He just teamed up with Taichu to kill a Wucang whose lifespan was nearing its end. Does he really think he is the co-lord of the Profound Heaven?"
"Making several of our sacred lands and so many top factions wait collectively for a wet-behind-the-ears brat?"
"Watch your words." The Sword Master of the Divine Sword Sacred Land glanced at her coldly, his voice as sharp as a sword's cry.
"If you have the ability to break the restrictions of the Profound Vault Divine Tomb, then open this door. If not, shut up."
The old woman's expression stiffened, but since they were both Ascension Realm experts, she did not want to fight him here. Her face darkened, but she said no more.
The surrounding cultivators also lowered their voices and began to whisper among themselves:
"I heard that Sacred Lord Ye is only twenty years old?"
"Is that true? Could he be the reincarnation of some mighty figure?"
"The Wutong Sacred Land dominated the Northern Hua Divine Continent for tens of thousands of years, yet it was uprooted by him overnight. Now, in the entire Profound Heaven, who dares to deny him face?"
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the void in the very center of the platform suddenly wavered slightly.
Without any spatial fluctuations or spiritual energy omens, as if he had been standing there all along, Ye Chuan's figure abruptly appeared at the forefront of the platform.
Dressed in a gold-trimmed black robe, he held the hand of Bai Qianshuang, who wore a plain white dress, with his left hand. He emitted no pressure and leaked no spiritual energy, looking just like a mortal with no cultivation base.
Yet it was this mortal who now stood quietly in the void. Below his feet was the Endless Devil Sea that could swallow cultivators, but not even the corner of his clothes was stirred by the sea's bloody wind.
The entire venue instantly fell dead silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
Tens of thousands of cultivators, including those Tribulation Transcendence Realm patriarchs, all widened their eyes, their faces full of horror.
Not a single one of them had perceived how Ye Chuan appeared!
Even the Supreme Elders of the Taichu Sacred Land, whose cultivation bases had long reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and were only one step away from the Ascension Realm, had completely failed to catch any spatial fluctuations.
It was as if Ye Chuan had been standing there from the very beginning, merged as one with the world.
What made their scalps tingle even more was that when they tried to probe Ye Chuan's cultivation base, the result they got was only a void.
It was like facing a bottomless abyss; no matter how they probed, they could not touch the bottom, only feeling a chill originating from the depths of their souls.
The next second, the various sect masters and family patriarchs on the platform instantly reacted, bowing to pay their respects, their tones respectful to the extreme:
"Greetings, Sacred Lord Ye!"
"Respectfully welcoming Sacred Lord Ye!"
The rising and falling sounds of greetings echoed across the hundred-mile platform. The cultivators who had dared to discuss him privately just a moment ago now did not even dare to lift their heads, afraid that their gazes would provoke this fiend.
Ji Lingxuan also walked up quickly, cupping his hands and smiling at Ye Chuan:
"You are finally here. The major factions have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Mm." Ye Chuan's gaze swept over the dense crowd on the platform, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Why are there so many people? I am opening a Divine Tomb, why did so many ragtag mobs show up?"
He had originally planned to bring Bai Qianshuang, Ji Lingxuan, and a few acquaintances inside. He did not expect tens of thousands of people to gather.
Just looking at them was annoying.
Might as well absorb them into my Human Emperor Banner.
Ji Lingxuan hurriedly leaned closer, lowering his voice to explain: "Once the door to the Profound Vault Divine Tomb is opened with the four keys, it will not close again."
"Even if we leave people outside to guard it, we will not be able to stop them. Forcibly blocking them will only create enemies for nothing."
"Moreover, there are extremely strong spatial turbulences in this Divine Tomb's small world. The moment they enter, they will be randomly teleported to various places within the small world. It is better to let them in to seek opportunities based on their own abilities; it will not hinder your business, Ye Chuan."
Hearing this, Ye Chuan pondered for a few seconds and felt that these words made sense.
Low-level cultivators would be instantly killed upon entering and did not need to be managed, while high-level ones led by Ascension Realm experts could not be managed anyway.
Ye Chuan had founded the Yuxu Sacred Land, which was still in its developmental stage, and he did not want to make too many enemies for the Yuxu Sect.
Not to mention that the strongest factions of the entire continent were gathered here.
"Alright, then we will ignore them." Ye Chuan nodded indifferently, raising his eyes to look at the light door in the center of the Devil Sea.
"Are all the keys here? Open the door."
Ji Lingxuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately waved his hand toward the direction of the three great sacred lands.
The leaders of the Myriad Poison Sacred Land, Divine Sword Sacred Land, and Savage Divine Palace immediately stepped forward quickly, each taking out an archaic jade key.
Ye Chuan also flicked his finger casually, and a dark jade carved with ancient runes flew out from his fingertips. It was exactly that key.
The four keys instantly turned into four streams of light, accurately embedding into the four grooves on the light door.
"Buzz!!!"
A deafening buzzing sound rang out, and the four keys simultaneously lit up with dazzling light. The obscure ancient runes on the light door were instantly fully illuminated!
A pale golden light screen of Dao principles spread out like a tide, and the originally tightly closed thousand-foot light door slowly opened to both sides.
Behind the door was churning golden chaotic mist. A vast and majestic aura from ten thousand years ago swept out from within the door, instantly enveloping the entire Endless Devil Sea.
Even if it was just a trace of the aftermath, it made the cultivators on the platform catch their breath, their faces full of fanaticism and excitement.
A fateful opportunity!
This was a chance to reach the heavens in a single bound!
"Charge!!"
Someone roared, and countless cultivators instantly surged toward the gate of light like a tidal wave. The factions from the major Holy Lands no longer hesitated. Transforming into streaks of light, they plunged into the portal.
"Let's go too." Ye Chuan tightened his grip on Bai Qianshuang's hand and gave Ji Lingxuan a nod. With a blur of motion, he soared toward the gate of light, bringing Bai Qianshuang along with him.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

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."
