The five ancient city lords of the Desolate Ancient Realm were trapped inside the cauldron realm. They found that the divine rune techniques they were so proud of couldn't be used smoothly. Their first reaction was to break through the cauldron realm and return to the Desolate Ancient Secret Realm outside.
But how could Chen Yi and the other four give them such a chance?
"Fix the universe!"
The Qiankun Mirror emerged from the star source like a wave breaking through. Its divine light shot towards the four corners of the cauldron realm, transforming into four towering white jade pillars that enhanced the stability of the cauldron realm to a higher level.
Da Chun shouted excitedly.
"Brother Kun is so amazing!"
The Qiankun Mirror seemed to toss its "bangs".
"That's right, that's right!"
Then, a bunch of circles appeared on the surface of the mirror. The Qiankun Mirror mumbled something and then fell down, plunging into the star source.
The Qiankun Mirror had burned out again.
But it had reinforced the cauldron realm, preventing Yi Chengsheng and the other four from quickly breaking through it.
Then they were doomed.
Without the divine rune techniques, what they had to face were:
Hua Wuyan, the contemporary Guardian, a master of the Witchcraft Path!
Li Wentian, the Ancestral Dragon, the founder of the Great Qian Dynasty that had lasted for twenty thousand years!
The Great Demon, an unparalleled demonic cultivator who roamed the human world freely, the Guardian at the end of the Demonic Path!
Patriarch Shen, Shen Yang, a well - learned man proficient in eighteen different paths, the first Guardian after the ancient times in the human world, who dominated the star field and established a separate branch of the Shen family of the human race!
Chen Yi, who had gone through five lifetimes of training, broke through to the Martial God Realm at the age of twenty, had connections all over the human world, with a host of "cheat - like" attributes. He was the strictest "father" to the foreign races externally and a "god of civil war" internally. He could make the living feel the power of a serious punch and make the dead learn materialism. He had perfect luck and was the only protagonist of this era!
This battle became a foregone conclusion.
Chen Yi and the other four subdued Yi Chengsheng and the other four. The latter were seriously injured and no longer had the strength to fight.
"Spare, spare us..."
Yi Chengsheng softened.
Chen Yi, who had already grown gigantic, stepped on him with one toe, making him unable to move.
"I thought you were so noble and would rather die than submit. It turns out you can also beg for mercy!"
Yi Chengsheng could see that begging Chen Yi was useless. He turned his gaze to Hua Wuyan, the kindest among the five Martial Gods present.
"Guardian... We were wrong. Give us a chance... We're willing to share all the abilities we've mastered from the real world. Our people are willing to serve the outsiders as slaves..."
Hua Wuyan shook her head.
"I've advised you before. Your repentance now isn't because you've realized your mistakes, but because you know you're going to die."
Yi Chengsheng got anxious.
"Yes! We just think we're not wrong! So what? Is it okay for this Shen guy to monopolize the entire star field, but not okay for us from the Desolate Ancient Realm to take control of the Path to Immortality?!"
Chen Yi, who knew a bit about the Shen family, heard this and couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Shen Yang.
"Patriarch Shen, they say you're the same as them. What do you have to say?"
Shen Yang remained calm in the face of Yi Chengsheng's accusation.
"When I went to the star field, it was a desolate place where ordinary people couldn't live. It was me and my clansmen who reclaimed livable areas bit by bit.
The resources in the star field were also excavated by my Shen family.
Now the star field is prosperous and rich in resources. This is the result of the hard work and accumulation of my Shen family over thirty thousand years. How can it be called monopolization?
Should I share the resources I've discovered for free with everyone?
Moreover, I've preserved the path techniques for the human race and strongly promoted them in the Shen family. Even though many people were reluctant to learn, I did it just to preserve the inheritance.
The regular Star Conferences also share these path techniques with the forces on the ground.
It's just that the environment of heaven and earth has changed, and many path techniques are no longer effective, so they haven't spread widely on the ground."
After Shen Yang finished speaking, Yi Chengsheng blushed with shame.
Compared with the Shen family, the Desolate Ancient Secret Realm was far inferior in terms of morality. It really had no right to compare with them.
Yi Chengsheng then looked at Li Wentian.
"This Li guy also monopolized the imperial throne. How many years has it been since the dynasty on the continent changed? Why can they monopolize the imperial status and enjoy all the glory and wealth? Why can't we have the Path to Immortality?!"
Chen Yi watched the scene with an amused expression and looked at Li Wentian.
"Senior Li, it's your turn."
Li Wentian snorted coldly.
"My time is running out. I'll leave the rest to you. I hope that when I regain my strength next time, the Path to Immortality will be within reach!"
There was a time limit for Li Wentian to regain his strength.
He had already exceeded the limit today and was struggling to hold on.
Now he was slowly collapsing into an ugly ball of flesh.
As for Yi Chengsheng's question, he simply disdained to answer.
Yi Chengsheng still wanted to point fingers from the moral high - ground, but was almost scared out of his wits by a kick from Chen Yi.
"Come on, stop talking so much nonsense! You should know very well that the only chance for you to live is to hand over the Path to Immortality!"
Yi Chengsheng sighed.
"The Path to Immortality isn't in my hands..."
"Oh? Is there a more powerful person?"
Just then, Da Chun noticed something strange through the view outside the cauldron.
"Brother Yi, these Desolate Ancient Remnants are so strange."
"What's wrong?"
"They're committing suicide."
Shen Yang said, "Chen Yi, go out with the Great Demon and have a look. Hua Wuyan and I will watch these five."
Yi Chengsheng and the other four's bodies were almost shattered into pieces.
They weren't dead only because of the incredible vitality of Martial Gods.
Hua Wuyan and Shen Yang could definitely watch them, especially Shen Yang, who had many tricks up his sleeve.
Before getting the Path to Immortality, these city lords had to be kept alive.
In case they died and the Path to Immortality self - destructed or couldn't be opened.
Chen Yi left the cauldron realm and saw the Desolate Ancient Remnants falling in batches into pools of blood.
They were slitting their own throats with their swords and drawing divine runes with their blood before dying.
They were also chanting strange incantations.
"Sacrifice our souls to the sky and summon our ancestors!!"
Looking at this absurd scene, Chen Yi was puzzled.
"What are they doing? Committing suicide and going to heaven?"
Chen Yi surveyed the situation around the Nine - Province Cauldron.
While the ten Martial Gods were fighting inside the cauldron realm.
Outside the cauldron, the battle was also raging.
The Nine - Province Cauldron had become the core of the fight between the two sides.
The human warriors led by the Sword Master were desperately protecting the Nine - Province Cauldron.
Facing the endless stream of Desolate Ancient Remnants that were like a locust army, many human warriors fought until their last breath.
The corpses around the Nine - Province Cauldron were piled up layer upon layer.
There were both the corpses of human warriors and Desolate Ancient Remnants.
However, what puzzled the Sword Master was that just when the Desolate Ancient Remnants were winning and advancing towards the Nine - Province Cauldron, they suddenly stopped and retreated collectively.
Then they began to commit suicide.
Seeing Chen Yi come out, the Sword Master asked.
"What are they doing?"
"Similar to Li Wentian's situation, they're using divine runes and sacrifices to try to awaken an ancestor."
"We have to stop them!"
"I'm afraid it's already too late."
Chen Yi raised his eyes.
In the sky, divine runes flew from the bodies of the dead Desolate Ancient Remnants. Mixed with the blood of these deceased, they formed a huge blood - red face.
This face had its eyes closed tightly, and a grand sense of oppression from ancient times seemed to have traveled through endless years, enveloping the entire cauldron realm!

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!

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."

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
