【Actually, by this point, the Demon Calamity True Lord was already dead.】
【But you still weren’t at ease. You plunged another claw into his dantian, pulled out his core, and extracted it.】
【The core of a Celestial Ascension Realm expert was not fragile. On the contrary, it was the hardest object in his entire body.】
【But then again, he belonged to the “dragon” race.】
【“Dragonbane” unleashed its full force!!】
【In your hand, the Demon Calamity True Lord’s core was no different from a lump of tofu. You crushed it with ease, grinding it into ash.】
【All around you, not a sound could be heard.】
【Ripping out hearts and lungs, opening someone’s skull, destroying a core.】
【You performed all three acts as naturally as drinking water or eating a meal—casually and effortlessly, without causing even the slightest shockwave.】
【The mighty Demon Calamity True Lord Si Duo Duo, sect master of the renowned Heavenly Calamity Sect and an existence whose cultivation was nearly unmatched on Blazing Star, was just… finished?】
【The problem was, you were only at the Core Formation Realm!】
【Even if they took a step back and assumed you were at the Celestial Ascension Realm—or even beyond it—killing someone with such profound foundations shouldn’t have been this effortless, should it?】
【Had the famous Demon Calamity True Lord really spent all these years cultivating for nothing?】
【Everyone was left in such shock that their entire worldview collapsed.】
【All sorts of guesses arose as they exchanged glances.】
【The Treasure-Seeking Old Madam, who had already retreated into the distance, had also witnessed this scene.】
【Her lips were trembling.】
【The greatest question troubling her now was how you had ever lost to her thirty years ago.】
【Or had you really been that weak thirty years ago, only to make such astonishing progress in the span of three decades?】
【If that was the case, then you were even more terrifying than anyone present could imagine!】
【The Treasure-Seeking Old Madam immediately brought every method at her disposal into play and fled at the fastest speed she could manage.】
【The cultivators around Profound Maiden Town had yet to recover from their shock.】
【What was the talent of the dragon race?】
【Soul Roaming Heaven and Earth!】
【In the Real World, this talent displayed itself in much the same way.】
【It was simply that the ability to seize any member of their own race’s body and use it to extend their lives was no longer possible—at least not for those in the Celestial Ascension Realm.】
【But after death, their souls could still move about freely. That much remained possible.】
【“Who exactly are you?! The Ji clan? Or the Jiang clan?!”】
【The Demon Calamity True Lord’s soul floated up from the corpse riddled with three holes.】
【The dragon race did not follow the path of qi refinement. Their foundational cultivation technique was soul refinement.】
【Thus, even after losing his physical body, the Demon Calamity True Lord’s strength had not weakened by much.】
【When he furiously unleashed a killing move in his soul form, the power radiating from him outlined the shape of his soul, allowing everyone nearby to see him with the naked eye.】
【“My heavens! That’s the dragon race’s soul talent! So the Demon Calamity True Lord really is dead! Otherwise, why would he have been forced into such a state?!”】
【“Just who is this young man? What kind of technique did he use just now?”】
【“But now that you mention it, the dragon race is at its most terrifying in soul form. Many cultivators aren’t proficient in soul refinement and are completely helpless against soul bodies.”】
【These cultivators were destined to have their worldview shattered yet again.】
【You were about to give these cultivators of the Real World a little taste of the shock brought by a cheat from the Void World!】
【The “Materialist Warrior” took the club from “Dragonbane” and viciously brought it down on the Demon Calamity True Lord’s head.】
【The Demon Calamity True Lord’s furious strike—his vaunted dragon-race soul arts, the soul-refinement techniques that so many cultivators knew nothing about—couldn’t even ruffle the hem of your clothes.】
【If this were a manga, the Demon Calamity True Lord’s expression right now would look exactly like Enel’s when he realized Luffy wasn’t afraid of lightning.】
【His jaw hit the ground.】
【The onlookers were no different.】
【“How is this possible?!”】
【“Is this young man really at the Core Formation Realm?!”】
【“You idiot! If he’s at the Core Formation Realm, then I’m a postnatal martial artist! No, a mortal! No, a baby!”】
【“What first-tier star—or even special-tier star—did this big shot come from? He actually came here to bully the small fry…”】
【“The nearest first-tier star is more than a decade away, even aboard the finest starship. No matter how powerful he is, even if he can cross outer space, he couldn’t have arrived this quickly, could he?”】
【The cultivators of Blazing Star, whose worldviews had been shattered again and again, felt as though they were trapped in a dream.】
【The Azure Flood Dragon King and the others who had surrounded you earlier were now trembling even more violently.】
【“D-Did I really fight someone like that just now…?”】
【The Azure Flood Dragon King was somewhat confused as well.】
【For example, when you had fought them earlier, you hadn’t appeared nearly this relaxed, nor had you displayed abilities this absurd.】
【Of course, the Azure Flood Dragon King was able to come up with a perfectly self-consistent explanation: the big shot had been toying with them.】
【Yes, that had to be it.】
【After the Demon Calamity True Lord’s attack failed, you shook your right hand like the Flame Dragon Hero.】
【“Click, click…”】
【Naturally, there was no armor making those sounds. It was simply the sound of your joints moving.】
【“Ding!”】
【“Ding!”】
【“Ding!”】
【“Heartsteel” finished charging. You used your “Kirin Arm” to unleash an enhanced basic attack!】
【Once again, multiple multipliers stacked together.】
【Your fist struck the Demon Calamity True Lord squarely in the left cheek. The force of the blow stamped a fist-shaped imprint into the cliff behind him, while a visible shockwave swept dust in every direction.】
【“Clang!!”】
【“Boom!!!”】
【Though he was a soul body, your punch sent him crashing into the mountain, blasting out a huge cavern.】
【The Demon Calamity True Lord felt pain.】
【That made no scientific sense.】
【He shouldn’t have been able to feel pain.】
【He was a soul body, after all. He should only have been affected if you had used some special divine ability.】
【But he was certain that you hadn’t used any technique.】
【“What the hell?!”】
【The Demon Calamity True Lord was, after all, a Celestial Ascension Realm expert. He was extremely difficult to kill.】
【He tried attacking you with several other techniques, each one bizarre and dazzling in its own way.】
【You couldn’t understand a single one of them.】
【Unfortunately for him, not one of them could injure you in the slightest.】
【You couldn’t understand his techniques, and as it happened, he couldn’t understand what you were, either.】
【Your counterattacks were simple and unadorned: you just used your fists to pummel his soul.】
【The Demon Calamity True Lord was beaten into the dust again and again, only to emerge in fury each time and try to regain his dignity. But all of it was pointless.】
【At last, he gave up.】
【“Very well, very well. You must be from some ancient human clan. Since you have an interest in the Heavenly Emperor’s relic, you may have it. Farewell!”】
【The Demon Calamity True Lord ran away.】
【You didn’t pursue him.】
【Even if you caught up, it would be useless. You could only make him feel pain—you couldn’t kill him.】
【“Dragonbane” was ineffective against spiritual bodies; its target had to be something tangible. “Materialist Warrior” merely allowed you to strike non-material entities and possessed no ability to inflict substantial damage.】
【Conversely, putting on an air of disdain only deepened your aura of mystery and made it impossible for anyone to gauge your true depth.】
【“Si Duo Duo! So what if I gave you a three-day head start?! You’re nothing but a defeated loser!”】
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
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...
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)
