"Alas, must it come to this?"
The Scarlet Heaven Immortal Emperor sighed softly, as billions of radiant lights surged like an inverted ocean, dissolving the might of the two great halberds with utmost gentleness.
"The laws of this realm are reversed!"
Chen Yi spoke calmly, activating the Void Syntax System in an instant. The extreme softness transformed into unyielding rigidity, and the billions of radiant lights turned into needles of cosmic law.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The overwhelming force of the halberds shattered the billions of rigid needles, scattering them like splashing water!
Meanwhile, Cui Changsheng unfurled a vast net of Dao Rhyme, enveloping the heavens and earth, blocking every stray needle.
Yet Chen Yi pressed on, his halberds still unstoppable, descending mercilessly toward Scarlet Heaven.
Truth be told, these unorthodox systems devised by the Flying Star Heavenly Dao were incredibly effective. If he had relied solely on brute force as before, Scarlet Heaven’s technique would have sapped away a tenth of his power. Pushing forward under the weight of higher-tier mechanisms, he might have exhausted himself before even reaching Scarlet Heaven!
This was the insidious nature of mechanisms—without overwhelming power to crush them, victory would always belong to the one who mastered the mechanisms.
Thus, only mechanisms could counter mechanisms!
Just like now. Chen Yi employed the alternative systems derived from the Flying Star Heavenly Dao to counter Scarlet Heaven’s mechanisms. Though still unrefined, their transcendent and unorthodox nature allowed him to dismantle Scarlet Heaven’s defenses instantly, reducing the halberd’s dissipation to less than a ten-thousandth of its original force!
The contrast was stark.
BOOM!!!
The halberds descended with unstoppable grandeur. No matter what techniques Scarlet Heaven deployed, none could hold them back.
"What kind of power is this? Why is it so bizarre?"
Scarlet Heaven’s pupils contracted as he watched his own attacks unravel inexplicably.
Unfortunately, Chen Yi gave him no time to ponder. He activated the Topological Folding System to disrupt Scarlet Heaven’s perceptual observation state, preventing him from deciphering Flying Star’s Dao.
For a titan standing at the pinnacle of the Dao, unraveling an unheard-of system was no great challenge. With accurate observation, he could swiftly grasp its essence and counter it!
Chen Yi merely had the advantage of striking first. He wouldn’t let Scarlet Heaven turn the tables.
DUANG!!!
THUD!!!
Blinded by the disrupted perception, Scarlet Heaven failed to block the twin halberds. One strike landed on his head, shattering his thoughts, while the other pierced his chest, pinning him helplessly in the void!
In this first battle using the Flying Star Heavenly Dao’s derived systems, Chen Yi achieved a resounding victory!
"Tsk—"
Cui Changsheng, watching from the periphery, couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
He had expected Chen Yi to win—but not so decisively!
Scarlet Heaven’s perception had been impaired, but Cui Changsheng’s remained intact. He saw Chen Yi’s maneuvers clearly, along with that irregular, unorthodox power.
He knew better than anyone: this was not a power Chen Yi should possess. Or rather, it was not a power Chen Yi could have derived on his own!
His investigations into Chen Yi ran deep. He knew full well that this man lacked the capability to devise so many heretical systems. Yet just now, Chen Yi had employed at least five distinct unorthodox systems!
Chen Yi couldn’t have done this. Though he had forged his own unique path, he was bound to it. Attempting to derive other systems would only lead to self-interference, assimilation by his own Dao—never yielding such novel, divergent, and outright rebellious paths!
Therefore, behind Chen Yi’s increasingly monstrous strength, there had to be another unorthodox and equally monstrous Heavenly Dao!
The Purple Star Heavenly Dao couldn’t achieve this. Though it had nurtured a heretic like Chen Yi, it remained fundamentally orthodox, incapable of spawning such blasphemous systems!
So then—
Flying Star!
It had to be Flying Star!
The one who had copied its core driver for the Purple Star Heavenly Dao, freeing it from its shackles and granting it rebirth!
Chen Yi was a variable, and Flying Star was another—both rebellious anomalies defying orthodoxy!
In the orthodox Immortal Realm, the peak was unshakable, the Infinite stood as emperor—an insurmountable mountain. Within orthodoxy, they were invincible.
But beyond orthodoxy? The Immortal Realm could no longer exert its dimensional supremacy. And once such power grew, it would become another towering peak—far superior to trembling under the Immortal Realm’s shadow, scrambling for scraps!
At this realization, Cui Changsheng’s consciousness seemed to ascend in an instant. For a fleeting moment, he glimpsed a dazzling future unfurling before him!
"Hahaha! Excellent, truly excellent!"
Cui Changsheng couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Yet at that very moment—
Scarlet Heaven, still pinned by the halberds in the void, suddenly laughed as well and chanted:
"A finger shatters heaven, bones crack the stars,
Ten thousand laws are shackles, binding the Dao’s truth.
A sea of blood churns, devouring sun and moon,
A lone peak sits in solitude, steadying the cosmos.
"Life hangs by a wisp, transforming golden scales,
A single thought soars, knocking at the gate of life.
Shatter a thousand calamities to forge my law,
Alone I uphold the universe, standing as Dao’s sovereign!"
In an instant, a terrifying aura erupted from Scarlet Heaven’s body, shattering the halberds’ suppression and flooding outward, annihilating all in its path!
Chen Yi’s expression darkened. Even two six-star avatars couldn’t suppress this former Immortal Emperor!
It seemed...
His true self would have to step in after all!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
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.”
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.
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."
