【Beyond the atmosphere of Vermilion-Purple Star, in the vacuum of space, the genuine Black Monkey King, the Budget Black Monkey King, and two Immortal Kings from the Sacred Dragon Clan began fighting.】
【The shockwaves from their battle were like celestial phenomena, flashing across the sky from time to time and drawing astonished gazes from people on the ground.】
【Some residual energy scattered near you and nearly shredded your clothes.】
【“Damn, things are getting pretty heated. I’d better move farther away and enjoy the show.”】
【Your body suddenly sank, and you slammed into the ground like a meteor.】
【The already devastated earth was made even worse by your impact.】
【You paid it no mind. Using magic and divine abilities, you shifted the surrounding terrain and built yourself a mountain a thousand kilometers tall to serve as a viewing platform for the battle between the Immortal Kings.】
【“Amazing! Hit him! Nice one! 666~~”】
【You were enjoying the show when your brows suddenly twitched, and you glanced to the side.】
【Ji Wuqing was sneaking up the artificial mountain you had built.】
【You had no interest in flirting at the moment. All you wanted was to watch Sun Wukong battle the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea.】
【Ji Wuqing cautiously sidled over like a crab.】
【“Um, Mr. Chen, what exactly is your cultivation level? It looked to me like you fought an Immortal King to a draw just now.”】
【You ignored her and focused on the battle.】
【“Um, Mr. Chen, why do I feel like you’re different from before? Why is black smoke constantly coming out of your forehead? Are you all right?”】
【You frowned and waved your hand as if shooing away a fly.】
【“Um, Mr. Chen, actually, you look…” Ji Wuqing fidgeted with the hem of her skirt. “You look pretty handsome like this.”】
【You finally paid attention to her.】
【“You’re so noisy. Can’t you see I’m busy?”】
【“What are you busy with?”】
【“Watching the fight, you silly goose! It’s an Immortal King battle—and a four-way one at that. How many chances do you get to see something like this in your life?”】
【“What are you talking about? I can’t quite understand you…”】
【“If you don’t understand, go learn! And besides, who’s ‘Mr. Chen’? Who is who, anyway?”】
【“That’s what the strategists used to call you.”】
【“Lady, you’ve got the wrong person. My surname isn’t Chen.”】
【“Then what’s your surname?”】
【“Cheng.”】
【“Isn’t that basically the same…?”】
【“You can’t tell the difference between the ‘n’ and ‘ng’ sounds! I’m Jackie Chan! Remember that!”】
【“All right, Jackie Chan. Are you really okay? You don’t seem quite right.”】
【“I’m perfectly fine! Could you please stop interrupting me while I watch the battle? They’re just getting to the good part!”】
【“We should take advantage of the chaos and leave while they’re fighting!”】
【“Come on! I’m only halfway through the movie and you want me to leave? What the hell is wrong with you? If you don’t want to watch, then please roll down this mountain in a nice, round fashion. Okay?”】
【“Are you possessed? Why are you spouting such complete nonsense?”】
【“This is the real me. So, what do you think, little beauty? Still like me?”】
【Ji Wuqing actually began considering the question seriously.】
【“I-I suppose it’s all right…”】
【You scratched your head and shook it repeatedly.】
【“Hopeless love-struck idiot… go to hell!”】
【You slapped your palm outward. The force behind it was immense, and it sent Ji Wuqing flying through the air, turning her into a distant star.】
【“Ah—Chen Dong!! How dare you hit me?!”】
【Ji Wuqing’s voice gradually faded until it could no longer be heard.】
【You let out a long, comfortable breath.】
【“At last…the whole world is quiet.”】
In the real world, Chen Yi could only scratch his head when he reached this part.
“Damn, he really is out of control now. He even hit Ji Wuqing…”
From the simulation, it was clear that while under Venom’s influence, his simulated self could not be easily killed by an Immortal King.
At least this time, his life was safe.
That slap had sent Ji Wuqing flying, which had inadvertently allowed her to escape as well.
The attack on the Ember Society’s base had been devastating.
Of the three Chosen Ones, two had been captured alive, while one had been forced to commit suicide.
The Ember Society’s higher-ups and elite forces had been almost completely wiped out.
Only some members had escaped with their lives. They would still have to evade pursuit, conceal their identities, and live in hiding. No one knew how many of them would ultimately survive the disaster.
“Judging from how I am now, I definitely won’t help the Ember Society’s people escape. They’ll have to fend for themselves. Sigh…”
Although the side effects were absurdly severe, there was no denying that Venom could indeed preserve his life.
He only needed to survive a year in the simulation. Once it was time to draw a new trait, he could replace “Venom,” and his simulated self would return to normal.
“I just hope I don’t cause too much trouble…”
【You sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight.】
【The Budget Black Monkey King soon began to show his weakness. His immortal power could no longer keep up, and the genuine Black Monkey King smashed him into pieces with a single staff strike.】
【“Hahahaha! I told you—I’m the real Black Monkey King!”】
【The two Immortal Kings of the Sacred Dragon Clan glanced at the Black Monkey King, who was laughing wildly, and then at you, watching the battle from the ground.】
【The Black Monkey King’s fearsome reputation had long been known.】
【He was such a freak that even the Star Ape Clan could do nothing about him except seal him away.】
【As for you, the two Immortal Kings simply could not understand how someone in the Heaven-Connecting Realm could survive a direct strike from an Immortal King, let alone cross the vacuum of space with such ease.】
【When something abnormal happens, there is always a reason.】
【Worried that they might fall into a trap, the two Immortal Kings decided to withdraw for now and contact several other Immortal Kings for reinforcements.】
【The Black Monkey King did not stop the two members of the Sacred Dragon Clan from leaving. He had no interest in them.】
【Instead, you were the one he could not see through, so he stepped onto a black cloud and hovered above your head.】
【“Hey, kid! What’s your story? You’re overflowing with evil energy, yet you’re only in the Heaven-Connecting Realm and can actually trade blows with an Immortal King. What’s going on here?”】
【You straightened your clothes, tilted your head, planted your hands on your hips, and said,】
【“Does that matter? No, it doesn’t! What matters is that if the two of us join forces, we can conquer Vermilion-Purple Star! Conquer the Ares Immortal Kingdom! Conquer the Southern Star Realm!”】
【“Why stop there? Why not conquer the entire Tianhe star system?”】
【“We can’t beat an Immortal Emperor.”】
【“So you’re still sane. I thought you’d gone mad.”】
【“Well? Want to invest?”】
【“What’s the benefit of conquering this and that?”】
【“Once we’re done, you and I can split the world between us. We’ll have women! Resources! Power! Status!”】
【“Bananas!!”】
【“Bananas!!! What bananas?”】
【“I’m an ape. I like bananas.”】
【“Could you set your sights a little higher? To be proper villains, we need ambition! Plans! Wisdom!”】
【“Fine wine!!”】
【“Fine wine!!! What fine wine?”】
【“The wine is Heavenly Spring Jade Dew, an immortal-grade liquor. One sip can increase your cultivation by ten years. The bananas come from the Void Paradise—a thousand-year-old variety. One bite can dispel all worries and sorrow, leaving you as happy as an immortal! Want to try some?”】
【“You have them?”】
【“No, but I know where to find them. The people who have them are a little protective of their food, though. They might not be willing to share.”】
【“Protective of their food?! Send me the location!”】

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed.
