【Yet outside the city, suspended in midair, stood a man dressed in snow-white robes, with sharp brows, bright eyes, and an otherworldly bearing.】
【He stood atop a long sword, with dozens of flying swords circling around him protectively. Even from far away, you could already feel sword qi as swift and fierce as the wind.】
【“S-S-S-S-S-Sword Master?!”】
【You truly never expected that the person who would come to save you at the very last moment would be the Sword Master!】
【The last time you saw what seemed to be news about him, he had still been on Opera Star.】
【But that had been many years ago. With the interstellar ports and routes of the Tianhe Galaxy so highly developed, interstellar travel was no great challenge for high-level cultivators.】
【The Sword Master’s sword strike just now had knocked the executioner’s blade off course in the simplest and most brutal way possible, right before it could cleave into you.】
【That was why your head was still attached to your neck.】
【The Sword Master charged into the city. It looked as though he intended to rescue you from the execution ground.】
【But the six thousand guards present had all been carefully selected by Jinhai. Every one of them was a capable officer or expert from a local faction—not a single one was easy prey.】
【They stopped the Sword Master outside the execution ground.】
【As the enemies charged toward him from all sides, the Sword Master fixed them with his icy gaze, then raised both hands.】
【“The Sword Master Rules Over All Swords!”】
【In an instant, every weapon in the hands of every cultivator present flew toward the Sword Master, forming a ring around his body like a planetary orbit!】
【Even when the enemies drew more weapons from their storage bags, pocket dimensions, and other places, those weapons still broke free of their control and flew into the Sword Master’s hands.】
【For the guards at the execution ground, this was very bad news.】
【As mentioned before, they were no ordinary soldiers. They were elite officers handpicked by Jinhai, as well as experts from various local forces.】
【The magical artifacts and spirit treasures they used were all of considerable quality.】
【Now, every one of them had fallen under the Sword Master’s control—and was being used to attack its former owner!】
【The guards were battered and bewildered by their own weapons.】
【If they didn’t fight seriously, they would be injured.】
【If they did fight seriously, they couldn’t bear to damage their precious weapons.】
【“What the hell is this guy? How can he control the weapons of so many people at once?!”】
【“This isn’t divine art. It has to be a Law!”】
【“Bullshit! He’s clearly only at the Heaven-Ascending Realm. How could he possess a Law?!”】
【“Maybe he’s hiding his cultivation?”】
【Using your own divine art to investigate, you learned that the Sword Master was indeed at the Heaven-Ascending Realm.】
【If you used the “Human Body Scanner” to examine the Sword Master again, however, you would find that some of the information differed from what you had seen when examining him in the human world.】
【The highest grade of aptitude in the human world was a Heavenly-Grade Bone Constitution.】
【But that did not mean every cultivator with a Heavenly-Grade Bone Constitution would possess only a fifth-grade immortal root upon reaching the True Realm. Some might have received a perfect score while their actual potential was even higher.】
【Looking at the Sword Master now, you could clearly see that he possessed a first-grade immortal root and a Transcendent Ego Physique!】
【This so-called Transcendent Ego Physique granted the Sword Master a unique kind of comprehension—he could comprehend things ahead of schedule!】
【Human-world cultivators could not comprehend divine abilities, but he could.】
【Those in the Desolate Realm could not comprehend Heavenly Dipper divine abilities, but he could.】
【Those in the Heaven-Ascending Realm could not comprehend Laws, but he could.】
【Thus, although the Sword Master was only at the Heaven-Ascending Realm, he had already grasped a Law just like an Immortal Lord!】
【The power of a Law could only be neutralized by another Law.】
【That was why the Sword Master could control anyone’s weapon at will—unless the other party possessed a Law capable of counteracting his.】
【“Why did someone like this have to show up?”】
【Jinhai sat high in the clouds, watching the battle unfolding below at the execution ground. He had no intention of intervening.】
【The big fish he wanted to catch had yet to appear.】
【Jinhai pointed at you from afar, attempting to activate the connections between you and other people. He searched those threads to see whether Ji Wuqing had arrived.】
【To Jinhai’s astonishment, no threads of interpersonal connection emerged from your body.】
【“How…”】
【Jinhai composed himself and circulated his divine art to investigate the reason.】
【“Someone has imbued this kid with a Law. It seems the big fish has already arrived. Heh heh… This King would like to see how long you can hold back before making a move.”】
【Jinhai swept out a hand. Instantly, countless threads of interpersonal connection flew from the bodies of every guard at the execution ground, linking them to the weapons the Sword Master had taken control of.】
【With those threads pulling on them, the Sword Master’s “The Sword Master Rules Over All Swords” did not lose its effect, but the guards could forcibly drag their own weapons back.】
【The Sword Master could naturally pull them back again, but he had no way to win a tug-of-war against six thousand people.】
【“Quickly kill this minor character! Send more people to raise the execution blade and continue the execution!”】
【Alone, the Sword Master battled the guards at the execution ground with the ninety-nine flying swords in his possession.】
【Sword qi swept across the eight directions, while sword light pierced the vault of heaven.】
【The aftershocks of the battle destroyed the surrounding buildings, causing the ground to sink and crack apart.】
【The enemy was still too powerful. The Sword Master was beaten back again and again, driven farther and farther away from the execution ground.】
【At the same time, the execution blade once more arrived above your head.】
【The executioner controlling it gave a cold laugh.】
【“Disappointed, Chen Yi? I admit that sword-wielding freak has some skill, but what can one man possibly accomplish? Time to meet your end!”】
【You glanced at the executioner, preparing to mock him, when suddenly your eyes widened.】
【“Look behind you.”】
【The executioner sneered.】
【“Do you take me for a three-year-old? No, I’m not looking.”】
【“Fine, don’t look. I only wanted you to die knowing the truth.”】
【“You’re telling me not to look? Then I’ll look! Oh, I’ll definitely look!”】
【The man swiftly twisted his neck and glanced behind him before turning his head back, afraid you were trying to trick him.】
【But that brief glance was enough to leave his face deathly pale when he turned back.】
【“I…”】
【Before he could finish, a gigantic golden hand had already descended from the sky and slapped him into a pool of mangled flesh.】
【In midair stood a colossal golden figure. Her face was filled with compassion and mercy as her palms struck down one enemy after another.】
【You gazed at the golden figure’s breathtakingly beautiful face.】
【Who else could it be but Li Lingyue?】
【A voice-transmission spell flew toward you.】
【“Martial God Chen, I’m Li Lingyue. Besides me and the Sword Master, there’s one other person you know.”】
【One other person?】
【Who?】
【For Li Lingyue to put it that way, could it be someone you knew from the human world?】
【At that moment, the ground beneath Haosong City began to tremble violently. Countless rifts spread throughout the entire city.】
【A figure burst out of the ground beside you.】
【“Sun and Moon Beneath One Sky!”】
【A blazing sun appeared in the sky, radiating boundless light and surging waves of heat.】
【Beside it hung a bright moon, its moonlight flowing like water and its killing intent chilling to the bone.】
【The sun and moon circled above the entire city. The power of sunlight and moonlight poured down upon the guards at the execution ground, making them alternately boiling hot and freezing cold. Their vision flickered between brightness and darkness, their bodies becoming alternately light and heavy, until they were utterly dizzy and disoriented.】
【“Ha!”】
【The newcomer slammed his fist into the execution blade, shattering the legendary spirit treasure outright.】
【You took a closer look. The man was tall and powerfully built, with muscles rippling across his frame. His face looked as though it had been carved by blades and axes, all sharp angles and hard edges. His eyes were vigorous and imposing, and his bearing was domineering and absolute…】
【“A-Dou?!”】
【A-Dou smiled.】
“Chen Yi, I’m over a hundred years old now. Stop calling me by my childhood name. Have you forgotten the name you gave me?”
“Chen Yixun!”
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.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances.

Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
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.
