Tian Haoran furrowed her brows tightly.
The power of these evil spirits was not right!
Logically speaking, even if the realm barrier was shattered... the worst-case scenario would just be overdrawing the power of the Great Dao to patch it up.
However, there was currently an extremely familiar power hindering the restoration of the realm barrier.
"This is... the power of the Heavenly Dao!!!"
Tian Haoran's eyes widened, her face full of shock and disbelief.
As the Young Master of the Heavenly Dao Palace, wielding the Heavenly Dao authority of the entire Central Imperial Heaven, from a certain perspective... she had already become the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao for the Central Imperial Heaven, making her extremely sensitive to its power.
Yet, the magical power unleashed by that Evil Emperor actually contained the purest power of the Heavenly Dao!
Could it be that this Evil Emperor's true identity was a corrupted Heavenly Dao???
Had the Evil Spirit Demon Emperor become this terrifying? Able to corrupt even the Heavenly Dao!
But she could no longer afford to think about anything else, because the realm barrier was already shattered into pieces, and countless evil spirit creatures were surging in.
"Roar!!!"
The terrifying black mist of evil spirits gushed in like a bursting dam, with countless evil spirits mixed within the vile fog entering the Nine Heavens Demon Realm.
"Kill!!!"
Formation flags waved as thousands of cultivators from the Nine Heavens charged out, all of them uniformly Great Emperor-level powerhouses.
Great Emperors, peerless experts who might not appear even once in ten thousand years within a single state domain, were now reduced to mere foot soldiers on the front lines.
Plunging into the black mist to slaughter countless evil spirits, various Dao laws and rules flashed like light and shadows, fracturing heaven and earth. On this battlefield, Great Emperors with lower cultivation levels were hardly even qualified to fight.
What kind of existences were Great Emperors? They were said to hold the sun and moon and pluck the stars, capable of splitting mountains and parting seas with a single palm strike! One must know... the mountains and seas within the Nine Heavens were an entirely different concept from those in the mortal realm.
Meanwhile, the Immortals remained in the rear, their burning gazes fixed on the battlefield.
Since the Evil Spirit Immortals had not yet taken the field, the Immortals on their side naturally did not need to step in either.
"I will go meet that Evil Emperor. You all keep an eye on the rest of the Evil Spirit Immortals... We don't need to attack proactively; we just need to defend passively," Tian Haoran said slowly.
She could feel that her own aura had also been locked onto by that Evil Emperor. Once she made a move... the other party would inevitably strike with the force of a thunderbolt.
The key was that on the side of the Nine Heavens, only she possessed the power of the Righteous Dao, which could completely annihilate the evil spirits and render them unable to resurrect.
Therefore, she prepared to strike first and gain the upper hand!
"Palace Master Tian, you..."
Just as the crowd was about to speak, Tian Haoran's figure disappeared from her spot, turning into a streak of light that rushed outside the realm barrier.
At the same time, a massive Immortal Cauldron appeared beneath her feet. Boundless righteous energy gushed out from it, evaporating all the evil spirits that drew near.
From her sleeve flew a nine-story pagoda, its body small enough to rest in the palm of her hand.
The Heavenly Dao Immortal Cauldron was a half-step Dao artifact left over from the era of the Ancient Heavenly Court. It was a fragmented piece of the once-complete Dao artifact, the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron, but even so, it was still a half-step Dao artifact.
And the origin of that small pagoda of hers was even more mysterious.
Then, Tian Haoran's figure was seen carrying the two half-step Dao artifacts as she plunged into the black mist of the evil spirits, while that Evil Emperor also vanished instantly.
A battle at the Immortal Emperor level was something ordinary people simply could not see clearly.
The battle at the desolate borders continued.
......
By the lakeside, a figure dressed in a dark robe was sitting on a stool, holding a slender fishing rod in his hand.
The man had a handsome face, and the Universe Alms Bowl beside him was already stuffed full of various kinds of immortal fish.
"Like Jiang Taigong fishing, only those willing take the bait."
The man muttered to himself, appearing exceptionally leisurely.
That's right, this fisherman was none other than Young Master Jiang Che!
His complexion had been quite good lately. Ever since the girls went out traveling, Jiang Che's Ultimate Yang Origin had recovered quite a bit. Even if there was occasionally a girl beside him who needed taking care of, to Jiang Che, it was just a piece of cake.
Recently, he had become obsessed with fishing.
"Hehe... another one took the bait. I really don't understand why there are so many guys who catch nothing!" Jiang Che said disdainfully.
He reeled in another immortal fish. "Hehe, Young Master Jiang, you've caught a cute little mermaid like me!"
The golden Sun Fairy Scale Fish flew off the rod and transformed in mid-air into a petite and adorable little loli, diving straight into Jiang Che's embrace.
Jiang Che: "......"
This was already the nineteenth one. This fishing truly was about the willing taking the bait.
Who knew which sneaky bastard around Jiang Che had leaked the news that he was going fishing. Countless fish-clan experts in the Southern Dark Heavenly Domain had spent heavy sums to sign up, transforming into fish fry just to catch a glimpse of Young Master Jiang.
The girls around Jiang Che had all gone out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. He was currently lacking women by his side, which gave them the perfect opportunity to exploit!
"Young Master Jiang~ You wouldn't eat me, would you?" The little goldfish put on a pitiful appearance, blinking her big, innocent eyes.
"I might. I'm planning to braise you in soy sauce," Jiang Che said indifferently.
"Ah?" The little goldfish was utterly shocked.
"It's a good thing you know this young master likes lolis, but next time you transform, please bother to transform your eyes as well. This pair of goldfish eyes scared the crap out of me."
Indeed, this young girl of the Sun Fairy Scale Fish clan was transforming for the first time. In her excitement, she had actually forgotten to shrink her eyes. Good heavens... a cute loli sporting two fist-sized eyeballs. Jiang Che almost thought he was in a horror movie.
"Oh... Young Master Jiang, please listen to my explanation!!!" The little goldfish hurriedly tried to adjust her transformation, but she had already been stuffed into the Universe Alms Bowl by Jiang Che, to be thrown into the immortal pond in his inner world later to be raised as an ornamental fish.
Although this little girl was quite cute after restoring her human form, first impressions were very important. Even if she was as beautiful as a heavenly fairy, she was a hard pass for Jiang Che now.
"Young Master, war has already broken out in the Demon Realm. According to front-line reports... Demon Emperor Ji Qingyi has engaged in battle with an Evil Emperor from the evil spirit plane, fighting so fiercely that the boundless star domain has completely collapsed..."
Bai Susu walked over to Jiang Che with a cat-like gait, gently licking her thin lips. Her pale hands lightly caressed Jiang Che's shoulder, causing him to shiver.
Jiang Che could be considered to have seen countless beauties; he had seen women no matter how beautiful, even the flawless beauty that the Heavenly Dao of the mortal realm had once transformed into. Lolis, young girls, mature ladies, young wives... what hadn't he seen?
But now... he had truly developed a fear of a woman!
That's right, Jiang Che was terrified of this woman, the White Fox Immortal Venerable. Mainly because he really couldn't beat her in a fight; he belonged to the category of being weak but loving to play, ending up getting completely crushed in all sorts of creative ways.
"What does that have to do with me? I'm not joining the war. I only care about sweeping the snow from my own doorstep!" Jiang Che wiggled the fishing rod in his hand.
Bai Susu giggled. "Husband, I have a top-secret piece of news here. Absolutely no more than five people in the entire Nine Heavens know about it. Do you want to hear it?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow. This woman was playing mysterious with him?
"Once I tell you this secret, I guarantee you won't be able to hold yourself back!" Bai Susu smiled radiantly, looking just like a little demoness!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
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. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. 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?!
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
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.
