The light in Qin Hongye's eyes grew intense.
She abruptly thrust her spear into the sea of desire, igniting her own vitality and blood.
"Military Soul Formation, rise!"
She was from a military family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a key focus of the dynasty's cultivation. What she practiced was not a sect's secret technique, but a military formation killing method.
At this moment, using her vitality and blood as a flag, she unexpectedly summoned a crimson military soul within the sea of desire.
The military soul was not physical, yet it had the momentum of thousands of troops and horses.
"Kill!"
Qin Hongye shouted sharply.
The military soul charged, smashing a large number of desire arhats.
Her face instantly turned as white as paper.
Ye Guyun followed closely behind her.
He closed his eyes, his lone peak sword intent restrained to the extreme.
When he opened his eyes again, his whole person was like a long sword without a sheath.
"Lone Peak, A Thread of Sky."
A sword struck out.
The sword light was not large.
Only a single thread.
Yet it neatly split an Imperial Sky Realm desire arhat from its glabella to its lotus seat, severing the resentment threads inside along with it.
Xiao Chen also moved.
He drew his ruler.
The ruler's light was like a cold moon falling into the sea, with an exotic fire attached to it.
"Severing Moon."
A ruler slashed out.
The sea of desire was cut open for a hundred zhang, and the exotic fire scattered in all directions like a sky full of stars.
Wanyan Gu watched with his blood boiling and cursed.
"Damn it, everyone is fighting so hard, making me look like a piece of trash."
He fiercely tore off the cloth strip binding his arm.
The broken bones made a teeth-aching sound.
The veins on his forehead bulged, and a phantom of a barbarian god emerged behind him.
"Northern Barbarian War Bone!"
Wanyan Gu roared and charged out, smashing three desire arhats with an axe.
The next moment, he screamed miserably.
"It hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts!"
The New Emperor Sword brushed past him, casually swallowing the remnant cores of the desire arhats.
"You roared quite domineeringly, and you scream quite realistically."
Wanyan Gu was in so much pain that tears were about to come out.
"Shut up!"
Everyone revealed their trump cards.
The desire arhat army was torn open.
Two of the four black water desire arhats crumbled in succession.
But the Desire Sea Maitreya was still not truly injured at its core.
Its thousand arms spread out again.
This time, all the palms pressed towards its lotus seat simultaneously. Deep within the sea of desire, a heartbeat sounded.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Every sound made everyone's vitality and blood flow backwards.
In Wang Hao's Son of Heaven Qi Observation Technique, the demonic Buddha's destiny began to contract towards the lotus seat.
The aura of Wu Xuanming at its glabella actually became more obvious instead.
It was as if it was intentionally attracting his attention.
Wang Hao narrowed his eyes.
Something was wrong.
It was too obvious.
Wu Xuanming kept shouting.
Kept inducing him to attack the glabella.
If Wu Xuanming was really the core, why would the Desire Sea Maitreya expose him so thoroughly?
This was not a weakness.
This was bait.
Just as Wang Hao realized this, a system prompt suddenly popped up.
[Detected host entering a special node: Deep core vicinity of the Bliss Purgatory.]
[Sign in?]
Wang Hao's mouth curled up.
It's here.
"Sign in."
[Sign-in successful.]
[Reward obtained: One Desire-Suppressing Divine Talisman.]
[Desire-Suppressing Emperor Talisman: A one-time divine path soul-suppressing talisman, can briefly suppress desire erosion below the ninth rank, has a mandatory stagnation effect on ninth-rank bizarre desire sea entities, lasts for three breaths.]
[Intelligence updated: Wu Xuanming at the glabella of the Desire Sea Maitreya is a fake core anchor point.]
[The real core is hidden in the seven hundred and thirty-second flesh lotus petal at the lower left of the desire sea lotus seat.]
[Xie Wujiu's backup plan has been activated: The Heavenly Secret Desire-Locking Pattern is recording the running trajectory of the host's Son of Heaven Qi Observation Technique. If continued to be activated for a long time, some qi observation rules will be reverse-deduced.]
[Extra prompt: The core desire seed is wrapped in three layers of desire shells. The first shell must be broken with "anti-desire power", the second shell must be broken with thunderous suppression, and the third shell must be broken with a bizarre artifact devouring it.]
After reading it, Wang Hao's eyes turned completely cold.
Xie Wujiu.
Sure enough, there was a backup plan.
This old bastard not only used the Black Water Demonic Cave as a chess piece, but also wanted to use the Desire Sea Maitreya to record his Son of Heaven Qi Observation Technique.
What a way to kill three birds with one stone.
Wang Hao looked up at the demonic Buddha's glabella.
Wu Xuanming was still roaring crazily.
"Wang Hao!"
"Come kill me!"
"I'm right here!"
Wang Hao suddenly smiled.
He smiled very gently.
Those familiar with him felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this smile.
Xiao Chen whispered, "He's going to scam someone again."
Ye Guyun nodded, "And it's a huge scam."
Wanyan Gu grimaced in pain, but still didn't forget to ask, "Scam who?"
The New Emperor Sword grinned.
"Let's see who thinks they're smart."
Wang Hao slowly raised his hand.
The Thunder Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda floated up.
The aura of the eighth palm of the Heaven-Imprisoning Earth-Overturning Palm began to gather behind him.
Wu Xuanming was overjoyed.
"Come!"
"Come on!"
Wang Hao's eyes were deep.
"Okay."
"I'm coming."
The next moment, he actually charged towards the demonic Buddha's glabella.
Everyone was shocked.
Only the New Emperor Sword's eyes lit up.
It knew.
The tyrant never walked the path arranged by others.
Unless he was prepared to dig up the path as well.
Wang Hao charged towards the demonic Buddha's glabella.
This scene shocked all the auras inside and outside the Bliss Purgatory.
The Desire Sea Maitreya's ten thousand zhang dharma idol lowered its head, and its thousand arms slowly closed, as if a huge cage was about to completely trap Wang Hao to death.
Wu Xuanming's wild laughter came from the glabella.
"Wang Hao!"
"You finally came!"
"Did you think you saw through everything?"
"You are just another person in the sea of desire!"
"Your desire is control!"
"It's victory!"
"It's stepping on everyone!"
Wang Hao didn't refute.
He even nodded in agreement.
"You summarized it quite comprehensively."
Wu Xuanming's laughter paused.
When a normal person hears such heart-stabbing words, shouldn't they angrily rebuke, shouldn't they defend themselves, shouldn't their Dao heart waver?
Why did you admit it?
Wang Hao said lightly, "I am the emperor, is it strange to want to win?"
"Should I say I have no desires, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day, and only want world peace?"
"That's a saint."
"I am not."
He stepped past the desire sea thunder light.
The black-gold palm print behind him condensed larger and larger.
The eighth palm of the Heaven-Imprisoning Earth-Overturning Palm hadn't truly struck out yet, but it had already made the entire bizarre domain space groan under the overwhelming pressure.
Wang Hao's voice continued to sound.
"I have desires."
"I want to win."
"I want to live."
"I want to hang that old dog Xie Wujiu at the city gate to air-dry."
"I also want Xiao Chen to write a hundred-thousand-word summary."
In the distance, Xiao Chen was still nervous, but when he heard the last sentence, his true essence almost went awry.
"Why am I still included at a time like this?"
Ye Guyun said, "It means His Majesty is thinking of you."
Xiao Chen's face darkened, "I don't want this kind of thinking."
Wang Hao stared at Wu Xuanming at the glabella, his smile cold.
"Having desires is not scary."
"What's scary is not daring to admit it."
"What's even scarier is admitting it and then letting the desire lead you by the nose."
"I have desires."
"But my desires must work for me."
As his voice fell, the eighth palm formed with a bang.
The black-gold giant palm pressed towards the demonic Buddha's glabella.
Wu Xuanming hissed.
"Swallow him!"
The Desire Sea Maitreya's glabella split open.
That bloody maw reappeared, with countless desire threads twisting into a vortex inside.
Deep in the vortex was not a throat.
But a heavenly secret locking formation.
The formation patterns were extremely fine, like countless silver spider webs, hidden under the aura of the desire sea.
If Wang Hao didn't have system intelligence and the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Technique, even a Martial God Realm powerhouse would find it hard to detect.
That was the backup plan left by Xie Wujiu.
The Heavenly Secret Desire-Locking Pattern.
As long as Wang Hao continued to use the Son of Heaven Qi Observation Technique to observe the core, the formation pattern would reverse-capture the qi observation trajectory and deduce a part of the rules of this emperor path secret technique.
Perhaps the deduction wouldn't be complete.
But for someone like Xie Wujiu, a tiny pattern was enough to lay down ten killing traps.
A flash of killing intent crossed Wang Hao's eyes.
"A rat is always a rat."
"Even hiding in someone else's stomach, it doesn't forget to steal."
The eighth palm strike fell.
Boom!
The giant black-gold palm was mostly swallowed by the massive mouth on the glabella.
The Heavenly Secret Desire-Locking Runes suddenly lit up, acting like a giant silver net that entangled the leaking Qi-Observing fluctuations from Wang Hao.
At the same time, the demonic Buddha's thousand arms closed in.
Golden scepters, pink lotuses, precious orbs, jade slips, coffins... countless desire artifacts condensed once more, transforming into a cage of desire.
Wu Xuanming laughed wildly.
"I've caught you!"
"Mister Xie's calculations truly miss nothing!"
"Wang Hao, you're finished!"
Xiao Chen and the others' expressions drastically changed.
"Your Majesty!"
Blood light surged in Chu Tianque's eyes as he raised his sword, ready to charge forward.
But Wang Hao raised his hand.
"Don't move."
The crowd froze.
Trapped in the center of the thousand-arm cage, Wang Hao's face showed not a hint of panic.
Looking at the Heavenly Secret Locking Array deep within the giant mouth on the glabella, he suddenly smiled.
"Xie Wujiu wants to record my Qi-Observing Technique?"
"Then I'll show him something good."
He abruptly retracted his Son of Heaven's Qi-Observing Technique.
Not closing it.
But twisting it in reverse.
At this moment, the Qi threads in Wang Hao's eyes all turned into a chaotic, intertwined illusion.
Emperor Qi, lightning Qi, killing Qi, desire Qi, and resentment Qi were forcefully kneaded together by him into a messy ball.
The Heavenly Secret Desire-Locking Runes acted like a starving spider web, frantically devouring these trajectories.
It thought it was recording the Son of Heaven's Qi-Observing Technique.
In reality, it was recording a pile of garbage Wang Hao had just made up.
And it was toxic garbage.
Wang Hao whispered, "You like to calculate?"
"I'll give you a pirated textbook."
"The first page says: Desire Sea Maitreya loves eating shit."
The Heavenly Secret Desire-Locking Runes violently trembled.
Far away in an unknown land, inside a secret chamber filled with astrolabes and bronze mirrors.
An old man in a gray robe, sitting cross-legged in front of a black-and-white chessboard, suddenly opened his eyes.
In the silver mirror before him, Wang Hao's Qi-Observing trajectories had originally surfaced.
But the next moment, the trajectories all twisted into a single line of words.
"Old dog Xie, peeping requires a fee."
The gray-robed old man fell silent.
Two breaths later.
The silver mirror exploded.
The panicked voice of a disciple came from outside the secret chamber.
"Pavilion Master?"
Xie Wujiu slowly wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth.
Deep in his eyes, true gloominess surfaced for the first time.
"Wang Hao..."
"What a Wang Hao."
Inside the Blissful Purgatory.
The Heavenly Secret Desire-Locking Runes were reverse-polluted by Wang Hao, and the silver array net descended into chaos.
Wu Xuanming had not yet realized what had happened; he only felt that the core array runes on his glabella suddenly stopped obeying his commands.
"What's going on?"
Wang Hao grinned.
"Didn't Mister Xie tell you?"
"The cheat he sold you is a trial version."
Wu Xuanming's mind was violently shaken.
"Impossible!"
Wang Hao couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him anymore.
His true target was never the glabella.
Just when everyone's attention was drawn to the great battle at the glabella, the New Emperor Sword had already turned into an extremely thin black light, sneaking along the bottom of the sea of desire.
As it sneaked, it muttered softly.
"The seven hundred and thirty-second flesh lotus petal on the lower left."
"The tyrant said if I miscount a single petal, he'll shove me into a cesspit."
"Seven hundred and twenty-nine, seven hundred and thirty, seven hundred and thirty-one..."
It suddenly stopped.
Ahead, a flesh lotus petal was slightly pulsating.
On the surface, it looked no different from the other lotus petals.
But the New Emperor Sword could smell it.
It was an extremely delicious, yet extremely dangerous scent.
Like a grand feast.
But the feast was laced with poison.
Blades were hidden within the poison.
And written on the blades was, Welcome to taste.
The New Emperor Sword trembled with excitement.
"Found it."
At the same time, high in the sky, Wang Hao suddenly summoned the Desire-Suppressing Emperor Talisman.
A black-gold talisman flew out from his palm.
There were no fancy patterns on the talisman.
Only a single word: Suppress.
The divine talisman burned.
Black-gold light swept across the sea of desire.
Desire Sea Maitreya's movements abruptly froze.
Three breaths.
The system said three breaths, and it was truly only three breaths.
The first breath.
Wang Hao roared, "Attack the lower left of the lotus seat!"
Although the crowd didn't know the reason, they had long been conditioned into instinctive trust by Wang Hao's series of commands.
Chu Tianque was the first to turn.
The blood-clothed demigod burned his vitality, his entire person resembling a giant bloodstained sword.
"Three Swords of the Blood Cloth."
"First Sword, Severing Sect Enmity."
The sword light slashed down.
A large cluster of flesh lotuses on the lower left of the desire sea lotus seat exploded.
The second breath.
The Ren Family Ancestor gritted his teeth, spat out a mouthful of intrinsic essence blood, and threw a punch.
"Open!"
The fist shadow slammed into the flesh lotuses.
The Vice Palace Master of the Ice and Snow Divine Palace also used his ultimate trump card.
"Lunar God-Sealing Coffin!"
Frost Qi condensed into a massive ice coffin, directly sealing the target area to prevent the sea of desire from repairing it.
The Grand Elder of the Illusion Sea Immortal Sect, his face deathly pale, completely threw out his ancient mirror.
"Myriad Dreams Return to Ruin!"
The ancient mirror shattered.
The dream mist turned into a storm of nothingness, obliterating the surface desires of the flesh lotuses.
The third breath.
Xiao Chen, Ye Guyun, Qin Hongye, Wanyan Gu, and the remaining Astral Qi Realm experts struck simultaneously.
Their power wasn't considered strong in front of Sky Soaring Realm experts and Half-step Martial Gods.
But at this moment, all their attacks converged into a single line.
Like countless mortals raising torches.
A single beam of firelight was weak.
But gathered together, they could illuminate the dark night.
The first layer of the desire shell outside the flesh lotus finally cracked open.
Desire Sea Maitreya regained its movement.
It erupted with an unprecedented roar of fury.
"No!"
The ten-thousand-zhang demonic Buddha abruptly lowered its head, its thousand arms frantically slapping toward the lower left of the lotus seat.
Wang Hao had been waiting for this.
The eighth floor of the Thunder Abyss Demon-Suppressing Pagoda opened.
The fourth lightning phoenix flew out.
This time, it wasn't attacking the demonic Buddha.
But accurately blasting into the crack of the flesh lotus.
The second layer of the desire shell, suppressed by lightning!
Boom!
The deep blue lightning phoenix drilled into the core, exploding into a blinding sea of lightning.
A baby-like scream came from within the flesh lotus, which also sounded like countless men and women crying and laughing at the same time.
Desire Sea Maitreya's entire dharma avatar trembled violently.
"Sword-bitch! Hurry up!"
Wang Hao bellowed.
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.

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.
