"What?"
"What the hell?"
"Those ten can't kill me?"
"Are you serious?"
After learning about the strength of those ten individuals from Chen Chang'an, Lie Zhankuang was completely dumbfounded.
Ten Great Emperors, yet they couldn’t kill him?
Was he really that strong?
In Chen Chang'an’s eyes, was he actually a powerhouse?
At this thought, Lie Zhankuang grinned foolishly.
"You still have the nerve to laugh?"
"You’re a genuine Great Emperor, yet you let ten defective knockoffs chase you around."
"Aren’t you ashamed?" Chen Chang'an said with disdain.
"Huh?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you broke through to the Great Emperor realm through steady cultivation, while they forcibly elevated their cultivation using shortcuts."
"But there’s a fundamental difference, understand? Their actual combat power is barely above a Half-Step Great Emperor’s—nowhere near a true Great Emperor."
"Even if there are ten of them, they can’t kill you. At best, they’d tie with you."
"Yet here you are, running like a coward without even fighting. Since when did you become so spineless?"
Hearing Chen Chang'an’s words, Lie Zhankuang’s face flushed red. How was he supposed to know they were so weak?
Ten Great Emperors—that’s ten Great Emperors chasing him!
Wouldn’t anyone run? That’s just common sense!
"If that’s the case, then what the hell am I afraid of?"
"The Dragon Emperor Palace is just a bunch of trash!"
"Hahaha, this feels amazing!"
"Long Wuqi, that ugly bastard—I’m gonna curse him out loud and proud!"
"Come at me, you worthless trash! I dare you!"
Lie Zhankuang suddenly felt a surge of triumph. No more holding back!
Long Wuqi’s current status was unclear, and he might not even have reached the Great Emperor realm.
So why should he be afraid?
"What’s wrong?"
"Did I say something wrong?"
Lie Zhankuang noticed Chen Chang'an and the others staring at him like he was an idiot, which made him uncomfortable. What was their problem now?
"Did staying under the Heavenly Pool rot your brain?"
"The Dragon Emperor Palace has existed for centuries. You don’t actually think they have no real powerhouses, do you?"
"This time, those ten only came after you because they misjudged their own strength."
"Otherwise, do you really think you could’ve escaped?"
The Dragon Emperor Palace’s members had misjudged their strength, and Lie Zhankuang had misjudged his own.
The result? A farcical chase—ridiculous, yet undeniably comical.

Dragon Emperor Palace
"Vice Palace Master, the ten sent after Lie Zhankuang… they’re all dead!"
"I know."
The Vice Palace Master frowned. He had known those ten couldn’t match a true Great Emperor.
But with ten working together, this outcome shouldn’t have been possible.
Lie Zhankuang’s strength should’ve only allowed a stalemate at best. How did they get wiped out?
Could Lie Zhankuang have had help? Didn’t he cut ties with the Lie Family years ago?
"Has the Palace Master sent any news?" the Vice Palace Master asked sternly.
"No. The Palace Master hasn’t sent any messages."
"The last order was just to spread word of the Dragon Emperor Palace’s return—nothing more."
"How far along is the Palace Master’s plan?"
"He should be in the final stages. If successful, it’ll mark our true resurgence."
"Good."
"Follow the Palace Master’s orders—keep sending people after Lie Zhankuang, but this time, our goal is to make as much noise as possible."
"Where he goes doesn’t matter. The Palace Master will deal with him personally when the time comes."
"Minimize our losses. He likely has powerful allies."
"Yes, Vice Palace Master."
"Who is the Palace Master targeting? Chen Yunxuan? Or Ye Zhiqiu?"
"…Neither, it seems."
Neither?
The Vice Palace Master’s frown deepened. Knowing Long Wuqi, the emergence of Chen Yunxuan and Ye Zhiqiu—those two freaks on the Human Ranking—should’ve drawn his interest.
Yet Long Wuqi wasn’t after either?
"Understood. Dismissed. Notify me immediately if the Palace Master sends word."
"Yes, Vice Palace Master."
The Dragon Emperor Palace dispatched more forces to the Central Heaven Domain, but they didn’t pursue Lie Zhankuang further.
They weren’t worried about him spreading rumors. Compared to the Dragon Emperor Palace’s influence, his words held little weight.

Meanwhile, after dealing with the Dragon Emperor Palace’s forces, Chen Chang'an and his group prepared to continue their journey to Alchemy Emperor City.
Suddenly, a streak of golden light shot across the sky, heading straight for Chen Chang'an.
"Hm?"
"Wang Tianji?"
"Wang Tianji? Is he here?"
Hearing Chen Chang'an’s words, Da Huang was puzzled—he hadn’t sensed Wang Tianji’s presence.
"He’s not here. Just a message."
"This is Wang Tianji’s secret technique—a method for urgent communication. And… he only uses it in dire situations."
Wang Tianji had developed this technique himself. On the surface, it seemed useless, with no practical combat application.
But for delivering messages, it was unparalleled in speed.
For Wang Tianji to use it now surprised Chen Chang'an.
What could be so urgent?
The golden light landed in Chen Chang'an’s palm. With a thought, it merged into his mind, revealing its contents.
"What’s wrong?"
"Did something happen? Did Tianji Pavilion get wiped out, and Wang Tianji’s begging for help?" Da Huang joked.
"Not Tianji Pavilion. It’s about Chen Yunxuan."
Chen Yunxuan?
Lie Zhankuang and the others perked up. As the Human Ranking’s top-ranked genius, what could’ve happened to him?
"Wang Tianji’s really going all out—using this technique just for Chen Yunxuan?" Da Huang remarked in surprise.
"Senior Da Huang, what’s the issue with this technique?" Gu Xian'er asked curiously.
"It’s not an issue, but it takes a heavy toll on the body. Wang Tianji wouldn’t use it unless absolutely necessary," Da Huang explained.
"For him to do so over Chen Yunxuan? That’s commitment."
"Brother Chang'an, what happened to Chen Yunxuan?" Gu Fengyao asked, equally curious.
This legendary figure—had something gone wrong?
"He’s stirred up trouble. I might need to step in."
"This kid, telling him to charge forward doesn’t mean he should rush headfirst into everything!"
"He really knows how to make trouble." Chen Chang'an shook his head helplessly.
"What exactly happened?" Da Huang also grew curious.
"Chen Yunxuan got into some conflict with a sect called the Heavenly Sword Sect."
Heavenly Sword Sect?
Hearing this name, everyone frowned slightly—none of them had heard of it before.
"Never heard of it. Probably not a major sect, but if even Wang Tianji is taking it seriously, something’s off." Da Huang found it strange.
"I think... I might have heard a little about this Heavenly Sword Sect."
"Low-key, but incredibly strong."
"Their patriarch is an Emperor!"
"His title—Heavenly Sword Emperor!"
"The sect is named after him."
Heavenly Sword Emperor?
A genuine Sword Emperor?
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.

When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

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.

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!!
