What the—?!
What the hell is happening right now?
The group from the Great Thousand World stood frozen in shock.
Hold on, let them sort this out.
First, they came to this world because they sensed their own chess pieces' fates twisting, growing dim and unstable.
That’s why they took the risk to descend to the lower realm.
But here’s the thing—even though these were just their split souls,
their combat power... was still at the Supreme Realm!!
[Domain Realm, Spirit Origin Realm, True Spirit Realm, Supreme Realm, Peerless Realm]
Not to mention Xuan Xingzi—originally the strongest among them.
His split soul’s power was naturally the strongest as well.
But...
What were they witnessing now?!
Xuan Xingzi of the Starry Divine Palace was just floating there, letting these insignificant ants from a minor world humiliate him at will?!
He didn’t even move an inch?!
And then?
Xuan Xingzi’s split soul was devoured by that abomination?!
Huh?!
Everyone’s pupils trembled violently.
An abomination capable of devouring a Supreme Realm split soul... That could only mean...
"This... this..."
Yan Lie’s flaming robes billowed without wind.
He stared fixedly at the pulsating crimson tumor below, his Adam’s apple bobbing with difficulty. "Gluttony... That’s Gluttony... One of the most troublesome abominations..."
"If it traces Xuan Xingzi’s karmic threads back to the upper realm..."
"The lunatics of the Starry Divine Palace will skin us alive!"
Ming Ku’s fingers clenched audibly beneath his dark robes.
He whipped his head toward the other seven, his voice hoarse with horror. "Do you sense it? That beast is dissecting Xuan Xingzi’s split soul’s memories! You should all be able to feel this disturbance, right?"
"That thing is preparing to advance to its second stage!"
The elder from the Jade Pure Palace grimaced. "In its first stage, Gluttony’s rules are mostly survival-based."
"But if it reaches the second stage..."
"Without understanding its rules, we... might all die here!"
"Not just our split souls—our true bodies could be dragged down with us!"
"Need I remind you all? The Great Thousand World has faced abominations before where the death of a split soul led to the annihilation of the main body!"
At that, everyone’s expressions twisted with dread.
"Damn that Xuan Xingzi! He’s going to get us all killed!"
"If Gluttony devours a split soul from the Great Thousand World, it’ll inevitably follow that aura back to our realm."
"By then... none of us will escape!"
"At this point, whether that kid noticed us or not, we have to show ourselves..."
"Right... Not just to exterminate the abomination, but more importantly..."
Their gazes darkened as they looked down at Qin Luo and the others.
More importantly—leave no witnesses!
Sever all karmic ties with these chess pieces!
They couldn’t let this karma cling to them!
Outside.
After hearing Qin Luo’s overly dramatic performance, Su Muwan was utterly speechless.
Qin Luo, really? The show’s over, and you’re still acting?
Did he think supreme experts like these grew on trees?
Our world’s power scaling might be inflated,
but theirs isn’t.
One old monster showing up was already rare.
There’s no way more would—
Just as the thought crossed her mind—
BZZT!!
A series of oppressive auras flooded the space.
Su Muwan: ???
Then—
BOOM!!!
The heavens and earth shifted violently. The deep-sea currents were torn apart by an invisible force.
The surrounding cliffs cracked under the terrifying pressure, raining debris.
The entire underwater palace trembled violently, on the verge of collapse.
The next moment—
Several figures materialized in the waters above the palace.
Each radiated suffocating pressure.
Silence fell.
The chosen ones’ pupils contracted in shock.
Nine... more?!
You’ve got to be kidding...
Despair welled up in their hearts.
One had been enough to suppress them all, but now... nine?!
Qin Luo was actually right?!
They’d been hiding in the shadows, watching them all along?
As the group from the Great Thousand World made their entrance, the live chat exploded.
[Holy shit! What kind of godly battle is this?!]
[Damn... Beat one, and nine more show up? The difficulty spike is insane!]
[No, the craziest part is Qin Luo’s prophetic mouth! He called it!]
[Tch! These old freaks are definitely in cahoots with that abomination! They’re here to protect it!]
Unaware of the live stream, the nine figures hovered above the palace, their expressions grave as they assessed the pulsating abomination’s heart.
Seeing it still needed time before advancing to the second stage, they relaxed slightly.
Then, their attention turned to Qin Luo and Su Muwan.
Even a blind man could tell—
These two were the strongest here, given how effortlessly they’d humiliated Xuan Xingzi.
But they also noticed—
Neither had reached the Supreme Realm.
And Xuan Xingzi’s injuries, while gruesome, were superficial.
He’d simply been caught off-guard by the abomination’s rules, leaving him unable to resist the slaps.
So...
Yan Lie spoke coldly. "Everyone, relocate—outside the rules’ range."
Ming Ku’s eyes flashed with killing intent. "Perfect. We’ll set up the Great Thousand Annihilation Array here! Wipe out these chosen ones and the abomination in one go!"
"Agreed!"
With that—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!
Nine Supreme Realm auras erupted, cracking the underwater barrier.
No negotiations. No hesitation. Each formed hand seals for the killing array.
"Qian shifts to Li, Kun locks Tian Shu!!"
"Nine Nethers connect, ten thousand ghosts pave the way!"
"Starry sky and constellations, heed my command—"
GURGLE—!!!
As the nine completed their seals, the crowd watched in horror as—
The dark red seawater was forcibly parted by an invisible force.
Above them, the ocean split in two, revealing a sky choked with ominous clouds...
And nine bloody moons.
This was—
The omen of the Great Thousand Annihilation Array: [Nine Hells Purgatory] activating!
Qin Luo smirked, amusement flickering in his eyes.
Enveloping the entire sea...
Planning to erase them and the abomination together, huh?
Heh...
"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all beings as straw dogs."
This truth held firm across all worlds.
These upper-realm cultivators from the Great Thousand World never saw lower-realm lives as human.
To them, the deaths of countless ants meant nothing.
Such was the cruel nature of cultivation worlds.
But...
Who will die... that's still up for debate...
Qin Luo took a deep breath, his expression growing solemn as he pointed toward the sky and roared at all the Chosen Ones present: "The mastermind behind the evil creatures has revealed itself!!"
"Everyone!! This is no longer a battle between humans and the sea tribes!"
"But!!"
"The war for the survival of our world has begun!!!"
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years."

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
