The voice of the Azure Dragon shook the heavens and the earth.
"When have our Great Wilderness demonkin ever eaten humans?! The demonkin mingling in the Five Domains are evil cultivators! They want to take shortcuts by eating people. If you want to kill them, then kill them! When has the Great Wilderness demonkin ever taken out our anger on you for that?!"
The Azure Dragon's words were not just high-sounding rhetoric.
The Great Wilderness demonkin were like normal cultivators among martial artists, while the demons who infiltrated the Five Domains to eat people were like evil cultivators.
Normal demonkin would not increase their cultivation by eating humans.
You spoke up once again to negotiate.
"The Five Domains have already thoroughly investigated everyone involved in 'stealing eggs,' 'swapping eggs,' and 'refining Demon Yuan Pills.'
Currently, they are all imprisoned in the Sword Tomb Sky Prison of the Limitless Sword Sect. After the war, they will naturally be punished according to their crimes!
From now on, not a single Demon Yuan Pill will ever appear in the Five Domains again!
Today, all the factions of the Five Domains are here. We shall sign the 'Pact of Mutual Aid' and supervise each other!
If anyone violates it, their faction will be left to face the wrath of the Great Wilderness alone!
Azure Dragon, before this war of ours causes even greater losses, stop! Our enemies are not each other!"
Hearing your words, the Azure Dragon burst into maniacal laughter once more.
"It seems you also know of the existence of the Dragon-man race!
But what did you do?
You colluded with the Dragon-man race, provided them with hidden strongholds, sold out the human realm's intelligence, and helped them cover up the gaps in the world barrier!
The Demon Realm is already dead!
The Human Realm is our second home!
The demonkin will never watch the human traitors of the Five Domains hand over our second home to the Dragon-man race!"
Regarding the matter of "human traitors," you had also chatted with the Sword Master.
While visiting the major sects, the Sword Master not only uncovered the "egg-swapping incident" but also found clues regarding the Dragon-man race.
However, the clues were too sparse. He didn't discover which faction was directly connected to the Dragon-man race.
This was the cunningness of the Dragon-man race.
They did not cooperate with major factions.
It was always unrated sects like the Scarlet Heart Sect.
With the Sword Master's status, he simply didn't know anyone from minor factions.
Among those with a voice in the human race, whose status wasn't noble? Everyone liked to befriend "seniors" and "fellow Daoists." Who would have nothing better to do than deal with the "ants" in small sects?
Therefore, currently, the Sword Master and the others only knew that there was indeed a third-party race operating in the human realm for some time.
But as for what exactly they did and who helped them, there was basically no clue.
Mentioning the Dragon-man race seemed to awaken a hatred deep within their bloodlines.
The four great demon ancestors all let out angry, mournful cries.
Amidst the mountains, hundreds of thousands of demonkin were infected by this emotion and roared in unison.
For a time, the sound waves were like ocean waves, overlapping and surging, causing the mountains and rivers to lose their color, the flora to bow down, and the beasts to grovel!
The Azure Dragon's eyes spewed angry red light. Its dragon mouth opened wide, and purple lightning began to brew within.
"Three old friends, lend me a hand to break this array, kill Chen Yi, destroy the Demon Refining Pot, and charge straight into the Five Domains!!"
The Azure Dragon was coming right at you!
The Empress immediately shielded you behind her, raising her hand to summon a hundred-zhang incense dharma idol that looked exactly like her!
The Empress rebuked angrily, "Azure Dragon! I am your opponent!"
Li Chengqian swung his imperial sword, commanding the Central Plains army, "Press forward with the dragon banners! We absolutely cannot let the demonkin harm my benefactor!"
Chen Jing pulled ten whole roasted sheep from his spatial ring and swallowed them in three bites. His body rapidly expanded, making him look like a small giant!
"Fourth Brother! Step back! Let your big brother fight!!"
The Sword Master gently waved his hand, and a flying sword instantly appeared at your feet, ready to send you away.
"Since the situation is already beyond salvation, leave it to us."
Everyone was protecting you.
Even though the demon race would tremble more at the sight of you than a Martial Saint right now.
But you are ultimately only at the Spirit Condensation Realm.
The full-force strike of a Martial Saint-level entity is absolutely not something you can withstand.
But to everyone's surprise, this time, you chose to stand at the very front!
"The four great Demon Ancestors have joined forces; this will be their strongest strike! The demon race believes in the rule of the strong even more than the human race! If we can win against this move, the demon race will definitely reconsider a truce!"
You saw that the Empress, your big brother, the Sword Master, and the various Martial Saints all wore expressions of absolute resolve.
They were ready to lay down their lives.
The crowd informed you that once the four great demon races unleashed their bloodline powers, the Five Domains could only leave it to fate.
The implication was that they had no confidence in stopping it and could only do their best.
At this point, if these Martial Saints and Martial Kings clung to life and fled, the Five Domains would truly be beyond saving.
Besides, where could they run? The Great Wasteland was also demon territory.
Abandoning the Five Domains meant abandoning their only sanctuary.
"We can win! Everyone, use your strongest power to attack the Nine Provinces Cauldron!"
At this moment, you brought out your ultimate trump card.
A Great Dao Immortal Artifact!
"The Nine Provinces Cauldron?!"
The group of Martial Kings and Martial Saints was utterly shocked.
You had kept the Nine Provinces Cauldron hidden because you didn't want the Shen family to discover it and cause trouble for you.
But given today's situation, why would you still fear the Shen family!
If you lost, you would perish along with the Five Domains.
If you won, the Shen family? Would they dare harm the great savior of the Five Domains? Let's see who would agree to that!
Chen Jing laughed heartily.
"Hahaha! Oh, my Fourth Brother! You always manage to bring your big brother surprises!"
The Sword Master remained calm.
"Can the Nine Provinces Cauldron withstand all of our attacks? And what happens after we attack it?"
You shouted for your artifacts to come, and a myriad of immortal artifacts flew onto your body, completing an armor fusion.
Wearing your Lightning-Chasing Boots, you stepped into mid-air.
"Everyone, please believe in me! Attack the Nine Provinces Cauldron, and we will definitely win!!"
After eating peaches for many years, Da Chun's abilities as an artifact spirit had slowly recovered quite a bit.
The abilities of the Nine Provinces Cauldron had also grown.
The Martial Kings and Martial Saints of the Five Domains all heard your voice.
However, their eyes turned toward the four great Marshals.
What to do next had to be decided by these four who held command.
The Empress was the first to declare her stance. "Warriors of the Southern Border, attack the Nine Provinces Cauldron! Myriad Phases Divine Palm!"
The Empress struck first.
Her solemn, hundred-zhang dharma avatar gathered the power of countless incense offerings and slammed a palm onto the Nine Provinces Cauldron.
"Clang——"
A melodious ringing sound echoed across heaven and earth.
The Nine Provinces Cauldron remained completely unscathed; only layers of ripples spread across its surface, as if it had absorbed the Empress's attack.
Chen Jing then launched his attack. "Warriors of the Northern Realm, follow me and attack the Nine Provinces Cauldron! Ten Thousand Galloping Steeds!!"
[Chen Jing temporarily entered the Martial Saint state and stomped fiercely upon the earth. Countless phantoms of galloping steeds erupted around him, blotting out the clouds and the sun!]
[Ten thousand horses neighed as they trampled toward the heavens. The thundering of their hooves was deafening, and wherever they passed, the very fabric of space was fractured beneath their might!]
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System." As the name suggests, simply by indulging in life's pleasures, he can earn random rewards from the system—no need to spend money on beautiful women or grovel before anyone. Just enjoy, and the money follows, making it all about effortless fun. The system comes with a scanning feature, allowing him to establish a favorability bond with women rated 85 points or above. Every 20-point increase in favorability unlocks additional rewards. After suffering through over twenty years of hardship, Su Yang trembles with excitement, his dull eyes suddenly gleaming with newfound hope. "Enjoy life? How hard could that be?"
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
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.
