“His opponent is Tuoba Hong? That’s the top-tier genius the Tuoba family has kept hidden for eight thousand years!”
“I heard Tuoba Hong has already reached seventy thousand drops of Origin Blood. His strength is formidable!”
“Lin Yuan is in trouble. He only has thirty thousand drops of Origin Blood. The gap in cultivation is simply too great!”
In the preparation area.
Chen Xuan straightened slightly as well, turning his gaze toward the arena.
“Lin Yuan.”
Chen Xuan murmured the name under his breath.
“The unparalleled genius of the Lin family of Ziwei Star. I heard it took him six thousand years to gain entry into a black-hole-tier cultivation technique.”
“Su Yu, watch carefully.”
Chen Xuan did not forget to seize the opportunity to teach Su Yu.
“See for yourself just how terrifying a true black-hole-tier cultivation technique can be in actual combat.”
Su Yu nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the arena.
Whoosh!
Two figures appeared almost simultaneously at the center of the enormous platform.
On the left stood a burly man as imposing as an iron tower.
Tuoba Hong.
His upper body was bare, and his knotted muscles were covered in dark-red stellar array patterns.
The terrifying pressure of seventy thousand drops of Origin Blood erupted without restraint.
Under the pressure of his vital energy and blood, the surrounding space visibly twisted.
Opposite him stood a handsome young man dressed in a purple-and-gold robe.
Lin Yuan.
In the face of Tuoba Hong’s mountain-and-sea-like pressure, Lin Yuan remained calm. Not even the hem of his robe fluttered.
“Lin Yuan!”
Tuoba Hong’s voice boomed like a bell, and his eyes burned with fervor.
“Everyone says you’re the second-ranked prodigy of the younger generation in the Great Chu Starfield.”
“Today, I’m going to step on you and take that title for myself!”
Boom!
Before his voice had even faded, Tuoba Hong suddenly stomped down, shattering the meteorite-iron floor beneath his feet.
Seventy thousand drops of Origin Blood surged into motion.
He pushed a top-tier stellar cultivation technique to its limit, and his vital energy and blood instantly soared eight hundredfold!
His ordinary combat power shot straight up to the terrifying level of fifty-six million drops of Origin Blood!
“Great Annihilation Fist!”
Tuoba Hong roared.
His enormous fist was wrapped in a layer of blinding dark-red radiance, like a fallen star hurtling through the heavens as it smashed toward Lin Yuan.
There was nothing flashy about this punch.
It was pure, overwhelming force and the ultimate suppression of laws.
Wherever the fist wind passed, the space on the platform shattered inch by inch, transforming into a deep, endless void.
Facing this world-destroying attack, Lin Yuan continued to stand quietly in place.
Only when the dark-red fist light was less than ten yards from his face did he slowly raise his right hand.
“A frog at the bottom of a well.”
Lin Yuan’s thin lips parted as he calmly uttered four words.
Hummm—!
Deep within his heart, thirty thousand drops of Origin Blood boiled in an instant.
That incomplete black-hole-tier cultivation technique roared into operation!
A profound, shadowy, terrifying aura that seemed capable of devouring all light erupted from Lin Yuan’s body.
A twelve-hundred-fold amplification!
Under the twelve-hundred-fold increase, thirty thousand drops of Origin Blood instantly erupted with destructive power equivalent to thirty-six million drops of Origin Blood!
In terms of absolute numbers, it was still inferior to Tuoba Hong’s fifty-six million.
But the level of the laws contained in a black-hole-tier cultivation technique was simply too high.
So high that it could completely disregard a numerical gap in the tens of millions.
Lin Yuan extended his index finger and lightly pointed forward.
At his fingertip, a speck of absolute darkness rapidly expanded.
It transformed into a miniature black hole no larger than a fist.
Hiss!
Tuoba Hong’s earth-shaking Great Annihilation Fist vanished into the miniature black hole the instant it touched it, like a mud cow sinking into the sea.
There was no deafening explosion.
No violent shock wave of energy.
The dark-red fist light, along with the force of the laws clinging to Tuoba Hong’s fist, was swallowed cleanly by the miniature black hole in an instant!
“What?!”
Tuoba Hong’s pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.
Before he could react, Lin Yuan gently flicked his index finger.
Bang!
The miniature black hole, having devoured all of Tuoba Hong’s power, crossed the distance between them in an instant and slammed heavily into Tuoba Hong’s chest.
Crack!
The grating sound of breaking bones rang throughout the arena.
The stellar-tier body Tuoba Hong had always been so proud of shattered like fragile porcelain beneath that single blow.
He vomited a mouthful of blood.
His entire body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, traveling tens of thousands of yards before crashing heavily into the energy barrier at the edge of the platform.
He fell unconscious on the spot.
One move.
It had taken only one move.
Lin Yuan, with thirty thousand drops of Origin Blood, had effortlessly defeated Tuoba Hong, who possessed seventy thousand!
Silence.
The entire Void Arena fell so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The tens of billions of spectators stared wide-eyed at the proud figure in purple standing on the platform.
Several seconds later, the collective gasps of the audience erupted into a storm that swept through the entire arena.
“A one-hit defeat?!”
“He crossed a gap of forty thousand drops of Origin Blood and defeated him in a single move?!”
“So this is the power of a black-hole-tier cultivation technique? It’s terrifying!”
“Suppression at the level of laws! This is absolute suppression by the laws! In front of a black-hole-tier cultivation technique, a stellar-tier cultivation technique is practically made of paper!”
“A genius! A true unparalleled genius!”
“According to the records, Lin Yuan is only six thousand years old, right? To gain entry into a black-hole-tier cultivation technique at six thousand years old—his comprehension is simply astonishing!”
“A rising star! Given enough time, he will definitely become a black-hole-tier powerhouse renowned throughout the starry sky!”
The spectators erupted.
Everyone was utterly awed by the terrifying talent Lin Yuan had displayed and the authority of his black-hole-tier cultivation technique.
In the lofty royal viewing stand reserved exclusively for the imperial family, Ninth Prince Chu Wudao sat upon a broad meteorite-iron throne.
He stared at Lin Yuan’s casual tap on the full-immersion light screen and fell into a long silence.
Even someone as proud as he was could not hide the deep wariness that flickered through his eyes.
“Father.”
Chu Wudao slowly spoke, his voice low.
“The level of the laws within that miniature black hole is far too high.”
“Although the amplification of his cultivation technique is nearly the same as that of the Emperor’s Supreme Shocking Record I cultivate—both are around a thousandfold…”
“But…”
Chu Wudao clenched his fists.
“The laws of a stellar-tier cultivation technique cannot withstand the devouring properties of a black-hole-tier cultivation technique.”
“If I truly encountered him on the platform, even if I used divine abilities and struck him head-on, he would still be able to devour a considerable portion of their power.”
“Lin Yuan…”
“He should be the most troublesome opponent I face in this New Star Tournament!”
Beside him, Great Chu Emperor Chu Tianjiao leaned back slightly in his chair, still wearing the composed bearing of an emperor who had everything under control.
After listening to Chu Wudao, he nodded lightly.
“The fact that you can recognize this means you haven’t allowed the foundation of one hundred and fifty thousand drops of Origin Blood to cloud your judgment.”
Chu Tianjiao’s tone was calm, radiating the confidence of one who controlled everything.
“A black-hole-tier cultivation technique does indeed possess a crushing advantage in the laws, one that creates an outright gap between tiers.”
“But you needn’t underestimate yourself.”
Chu Tianjiao turned his head, his deep gaze fixed on his son.
“As long as you proceed steadily and don’t give him the chance to get close and employ his devouring laws…”
“He definitely won’t be your match.”
“After all, the difference in your Origin Blood is simply too great.”
Chu Tianjiao raised two fingers.
“He has thirty thousand drops.”
“You have one hundred and fifty thousand.”
“That is a fivefold gulf in your fundamental reserves!”
“Even if the characteristics of a black-hole-level cultivation technique are as bizarre as they come, he still wouldn’t have much chance of winning against you when faced with such an overwhelming disparity in absolute strength.”
“In the face of absolute power, the devouring of any law has its limits.”
Hearing this, Chu Wudao’s tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and the imperial pride ingrained in his bones settled back into place.
“Your son understands.”
“The top throne of this Rising Star Tournament will belong to the Chu family—and no one else.”
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.

The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
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.
