[Team Assignment: Han Qianxue of High Island, your mission is to continuously clear the No. 11 Demon-Slaying Trial Ground within sixty hours, operating at full capacity during this period. The assistance provided to you includes: unlimited energy recovery, over-shield, damage immunity domain...]
The Demon-Slaying Trial Ground has no passive blessings from the Sifate, only various functional buffs—survival depends purely on skill and luck!
In other words, death is a real possibility in the Demon-Slaying Trial Ground. You either make it or you don’t. To exit the battle, you must first break free from the guarding war puppets and retreat to a safe zone before logging off!
"Me—no, wait, Han Qianxue is being sent to the No. 11 Demon-Slaying Trial Ground? Seriously?"
Chen Yi’s expression was rather peculiar.
The No. 11 Demon-Slaying Trial Ground was named "Blazing Sun," and its guardian war puppet, the Infernal Demon, was forged from fragments of solar essence—supremely yang and scorching. Those whose cultivation wasn’t up to par would melt just from getting close!
Though Han Qianxue was at the early-stage Celestial Immortal realm, her foundational Dao Domain was aligned with water and ice laws. Under the blazing radiance of the Infernal Demon army, her power would be suppressed by at least 30%, and she’d barely be able to utilize half of her full strength!
It wasn’t that she couldn’t win, but it would be extremely grueling—and with such a tight deadline, this was basically throwing her into the fire!
The most logical arrangement would’ve been sending her to the No. 7 Spirit Grove (ice counters wood) or at least the No. 9 Surging Waves (water clashes but also complements).
Yet, the big dumb dragon deliberately assigned Han Qianxue to the No. 11 Blazing Sun Demon-Slaying Trial Ground. Such an unreasonable arrangement—what, not even pretending anymore?
Trying to bait me into stepping in, huh?
Well, I won’t hold back then!
Chen Yi’s gaze darkened as he willed himself to log into the accounts of other moles.
The plan shared in the group chat was just a smokescreen deliberately released by the big dumb dragon—the real assignments were sent privately!
Xu Jinghong was an obvious case; the big dumb dragon hadn’t given him any task, only instructing him to stay low and keep an eye on Chen Yi.
But the other moles were different.
From the lowest-ranked "Transcending Tribulation Heavenly Venerable" Ye Chen, to the mid-tier "Cycle of Heavenly Dao" Yu Zian, and even the high-ranking "Escaped Salted Fish Rice" Chen Fusheng—these three represented the three tiers of the group. Even if the big dumb dragon had carefully split the plan, piecing together their individual tasks would reveal the overall strategy through sheer logic!
[One Sour Fish (Supreme and Unrivaled Peak Rank 1): Chen Fusheng (Peak Rank 12, Escaped Salted Fish Rice), your real mission is to cooperate with Jiang Yue (Peak Rank 9, Top Critic) and Chu Yunjin (Peak Rank 10, Eight Kidneys Supreme) in clearing the No. 8 Demon-Slaying Trial Ground. With all functional buffs active, ensure the trial ground operates at full capacity for 150 minutes!]
[One Sour Fish: Yu Zian (Peak Rank 18, Cycle of Heavenly Dao), your real mission is to lead Ji Fenxing (Peak Rank 19, God Passed By Here) and Pei Yanqiu (Peak Rank 20, Hard to Say Goodbye) in clearing the No. 7 Illusory Dream Secret Realm. With unlimited Sifate passive blessings, ensure the secret realm operates at full capacity for 150 minutes.]
[One Sour Fish: Ye Chen (Peak Rank 30, Transcending Tribulation Heavenly Venerable), your real mission is to cooperate with Xie Muli (Peak Rank 28, Wood Chills the Dusk) and Zhu Wujie (Peak Rank 29, God GG Boom) in clearing the No. 25 Raging Sun Secret Realm. With unlimited Sifate passive blessings, ensure the secret realm operates at full capacity for 150 minutes.]
"So the big dumb dragon’s real plan is to form three-person teams and focus on clearing select Demon-Slaying Trial Grounds and exorcism secret realms..."
"Excluding Han Qianxue and Xu Jinghong, the group only has ten Celestial Immortal-level members. Since the big dumb dragon is orchestrating this, only nine can be mobilized—meaning three Demon-Slaying Trial Grounds. The remaining eighteen Half-Step Celestial Immortals and True Immortals are only tackling six secret realms?"
"Big dumb dragon, are you trying to sacrifice the tail to save the body?"
"Hah, what a beautiful thought!"
Chen Yi’s eyes sharpened as he flicked his wrist, summoning forty-nine Chaos Colored Pearls. Through his clone anchors, they instantly teleported to the Azure Cloud Continent!
Xu Jinghong, who had been secretly observing, was stunned.
Others might not know, but he certainly did—each Chaos Colored Pearl was equivalent to one of Chen Yi’s clones!
A single clone only had early-stage True Immortal strength, but if three fused together, their power would skyrocket to mid-to-late-stage Celestial Immortal level!
And if nine fused... it would surpass even his late-stage Mystic Immortal strength, reaching a realm he couldn’t even comprehend!
But this time, Chen Yi had sent out forty-nine clones!!!
Give it up, Sour Fish—you can’t win this!
As if summoned by the thought, a covert message arrived from Sour Fish: "Old Xu, has Chen Yi made any unusual moves?"
Xu Jinghong immediately looked up at Chen Yi for confirmation. After receiving a nod, he replied: "He sent out one clone. Destination unknown, but I’m guessing it’s Han Qianxue’s world."
"Good brother, stay safe. Once I succeed, I’ll free you from his control!"
The little golden dragon was deeply moved.
Truthfully, it hadn’t fully trusted Old Xu—Chen Yi’s methods were well-documented, and it feared Old Xu might cave under pressure and defect. So, it had secretly used a Primordial Mark to read Old Xu’s memories.
To its surprise, everything Old Xu said was true!
He hadn’t lied!
Even at the risk of Chen Yi’s retaliation, he still sent word!
How could it have doubted him?!
Ah, it seems trust between people still exists...
Old Xu, hang in there. Once I escape this mess, I’ll take you to greater heights!
Chen Yi: "..."
You bought that?
I didn’t even have to try hard!
Well, the big dumb dragon is still the same big dumb dragon—slightly improved, but not enough to be a real concern.
Now, let’s see what Ling Xiao’s stance is!
Chen Yi’s gaze turned profound as he covertly observed Ling Xiao’s seemingly indifferent will through a clone lurking in the Primordial Creation Disk. At the same time, he activated Han Qianxue—the abandoned pawn of the group.
"Thanks for the special invite, to witness your betrayal. I keep reminding myself—don’t run away..."
In the desolate High Island Immortal Manor, Han Qianxue sat alone atop the spirit vein, her back to the world as she softly hummed a sorrowful tune.
You vile master of Group 108, you truly deserve death!
Stealing my account was bad enough, but why must you operate right in front of me?!
I can only watch helplessly as my friends and family in the group slide into the abyss. I’m useless...
"La la la~ He holds the invitation, drawing closer step by step, to that meticulously prepared scene. It should’ve been my moment, yet I’m just a guest..."
"Enough singing. If you don’t want the entire group wiped out, do as I say!"
Suddenly, a voice both familiar and unfamiliar rang out, followed by the appearance of a necklace of fifty-two Chaos-Colored Pearls, hovering and rotating eerily in midair.
Don’t ask why only forty-nine pearls were originally transmitted, yet fifty-two appeared in the end—of course, it was because three had been lying dormant beside Han Qianxue all along!
Han Qianxue froze for a moment, her fair cheeks flushing crimson in an instant.
She abruptly stood up, pointing at the Chaos-Colored Pearl necklace, struggling for words before finally blurting out:
"You didn’t lie to me?!"
"What do you have left that’s worth lying to you about?"
"Then... what should I do now?"
"Once you wear this necklace, you will no longer be an ordinary Celestial Immortal. You must obey my every command in the chat group. If you defy me, this necklace will become your death warrant, bringing you unbearable suffering."
"Understood. Come on, I’m ready!"
Click—
The moment the words fell, the necklace of fifty-two pearls fastened itself around Han Qianxue’s neck.
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.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
