Meanwhile.
The northern frontier of Great Xia.
The Abyss-Suppressing Great Wall.
The sky was a despairing shade of dead gray.
Heavy leaden clouds hung low over the wall, as though they might collapse at any moment. Even the air was saturated with a dense, suffocating stench of blood and decay.
Below.
Upon the black wall stretching for tens of thousands of miles, millions of soldiers of the Abyss-Suppressing Army stood like silent statues of steel, gripping their weapons with all their might.
But at this moment, everyone was breathing with extraordinary difficulty. Even the circulation of their vital energy and blood had become sluggish to the extreme.
Because—
High above, in the Ninth Heaven,
five pillars of terrifying vitality, each powerful enough to destroy the heavens and earth, stood locked in a deadly confrontation like supports holding up the sky!
The might of Martial Emperors!
Under the collision of these five forces, even the laws of the world let out waves of anguished, overwhelmed cries.
At the very front of the human defensive line,
two towering figures stood suspended in midair.
The man on the left wore deep-blue heavy armor, while phantoms of laws resembling raging seas swirled around him.
The Overturning-Seas Martial Emperor, Qin Fuhai.
The man on the right wore silver armor, and the surrounding space constantly shattered and reformed like a broken mirror.
The Space-Rending Martial Emperor, Chu Zhan.
At this moment, however, the expressions of these two pillars of Great Xia were grave beyond measure.
They were facing an unprecedented enemy.
Several hundred miles away, in the void,
three terrifying demonic shadows, each reaching ten thousand zhang in height and radiating the pure aura of the Abyss’s origin, looked down upon them from above.
The Black Heaven Demon Emperor.
The Blood Prison Demon Emperor.
The Bone-Refining Demon Emperor.
Three Abyssal Sovereigns in all!
Three Demon Emperors had descended upon the battlefield!
“Old Qin.”
Chu Zhan stared fixedly at the three colossal shadows before him. His voice was hoarse, carrying an undisguised resolve.
“It looks like there’ll be no peaceful end to this battle.”
Qin Fuhai said nothing.
Reflected in his deep eyes was the overwhelming demonic aura of the Abyss.
The pressure was simply too great.
First, the Abyss possessed one more Emperor-level combatant than humanity.
Second,
in battles between equals, the bodies and origins of the Abyssal Demon Emperors were inherently stronger than those of human Martial Emperors!
Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan both possessed around one hundred and twenty billion points of vitality.
Yet even the weakest of the three Demon Emperors, the Bone-Refining Demon Emperor, had reached one hundred and fifty billion!
As for the Black Heaven Demon Emperor, the leader of the three, his vitality was approaching the terrifying threshold of two hundred billion!
If the three Demon Emperors launched an all-out assault without regard for the consequences, the two of them would not be able to hold out for long.
The human defensive line would inevitably collapse!
Fortunately,
the Abyssal side was not united.
The three Demon Emperors each had their own schemes. None of them wanted to charge at the front and expend their origins for nothing while attacking the human defenses.
After all, in a place like the Abyss, where the strong prey upon the weak, once you were seriously injured, the ones most likely to devour you were often the very companions standing beside you.
Moreover,
behind Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan, each of them had a national-protector-class battle mech lying in wait, radiating astonishing pressure.
Although they were not the legendary mythic-class battle mechs, with the amplification provided by their national-protector-class modules, the two men could still self-destruct their machines if they truly fought with their lives on the line.
They were absolutely confident that they could drag one of the Demon Emperors down with them.
It was precisely this fear that had created the tenuous balance before them.
But—
this balance was like walking a tightrope.
It could snap at any moment.
“Heh heh heh…”
A spine-chilling, grotesque laugh came from the massive shadow of the Black Heaven Demon Emperor.
The laughter transformed into tangible sound waves, shaking the eardrums of countless soldiers below until they burst. Blood sprayed from their mouths.
“Qin Fuhai. Chu Zhan.”
The Black Heaven Demon Emperor looked down at the two men, his voice filled with utter arrogance and contempt.
“Your human race’s destiny has run its course.”
“You really think two piles of scrap metal can stop me?”
Qin Fuhai let out a cold snort, and his vitality—worth a hundred billion—erupted into a furious blaze.
“Black Heaven, anyone can make grand claims.”
“If you have the guts, take one step forward and see for yourself!”
“Let’s find out whether I can dig your demon core out today!”
Faced with Qin Fuhai’s defiance,
the Black Heaven Demon Emperor did not grow angry. Instead, his laughter became even more rampant.
“Take one step forward?”
“Why would I need to take a step?”
The Black Heaven Demon Emperor raised a black hand that blotted out the sky and pointed toward the heartland of humanity.
“Just moments ago,
I sent a sliver of my origin through the sacrificial altar passage opened by your cult.”
“It should have descended upon your capital by now.”
“By my calculations,
that so-called peerless genius of your human race should already have been crushed into a pool of flesh by me.”
“Soon, I will turn your capital into a dead land!”
“I will destroy you from within!”
The moment he finished speaking,
the expressions of Qin Fuhai and Chu Zhan changed dramatically!
He had descended upon the capital?!
Even a mere sliver of a Martial Emperor’s origin was far beyond what the Martial Saints in the capital could withstand!
A diversion?!
“You’re courting death!”
Chu Zhan flew into a rage. With his hot temper, he instantly prepared to activate the Space-Rending battle mech and charge toward the Black Heaven Demon Emperor without regard for the consequences.
“Don’t act rashly!”
Qin Fuhai grabbed Chu Zhan by the arm, his teeth clenched in fury.
“He’s trying to provoke us!”
“The moment we lose our formation, the defensive line will collapse!”
Watching the two men’s expressions twist with shock and fury,
the amusement in the Black Heaven Demon Emperor’s eyes grew even more pronounced.
Beside him, the Blood Prison Demon Emperor and the Bone-Refining Demon Emperor also let out gleeful, mocking laughter.
“Despair.”
“Struggle.”
The Black Heaven Demon Emperor spread his arms, preparing to savor the sight of the human Martial Emperors breaking down.
However—
the instant his words fell,
a sudden change occurred!
Without the slightest warning,
the Black Heaven Demon Emperor’s colossal, mountain-like body abruptly froze!
In those eyes, which resembled two blood-red suns, there suddenly appeared a terror so unprecedented—and so absurd—that it was almost impossible to believe!
“What is this?!”
The Black Heaven Demon Emperor roared in disbelief within his mind.
At that very moment,
he clearly sensed that the sliver of his origin left in the underground city of the capital’s Darknet had been instantly erased by an extremely domineering, utterly deathly force!
Not only that—
that force was actually flowing upstream through the Abyssal passage he had opened!
It crossed endless spatial barriers!
It crossed a distance of tens of millions of miles!
And locked directly onto his true body!
A spear-ray of pure gray-black energy, laced with tyrannical, dark-golden vitality, suddenly appeared above the head of the Black Heaven Demon Emperor!
There had been no spatial fluctuations.
No warning whatsoever.
It appeared with such abruptness, as though it had crossed the dimension of time itself, and came crashing down!
“Impudent!”
The Black Heaven Demon Emperor let out a furious roar. His nearly two hundred billion vitality erupted in an instant!
Pure Abyssal demonic energy transformed into layer upon layer of indestructible black shields, blocking his path.
At the same time, he raised his sky-covering giant hand, attempting to crush the spear-ray that knew neither the height of the heavens nor the depth of the earth.
However—
the instant that giant hand touched the gray-black spear-ray,
whoosh!
Like a red-hot blade slicing through butter,
the Abyssal demonic-energy shields, which could withstand a full-power strike from a Martial Emperor, failed to impede it in the slightest.
They were pierced straight through!
The spear radiance contained an annihilating force, carrying a terrifying will that sought to reduce all things to nothingness. In an instant, it tore through the palm of the Black Heaven Demon Emperor!
“Arrgh!!!”
A low growl, suppressed beneath overwhelming pain and fury, rumbled from the Black Heaven Demon Emperor’s throat.
After piercing through his palm, the spear radiance was gradually weakened until its power was completely exhausted. It then transformed into specks of dark golden light and vanished into the void.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
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?

"Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty."

We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
