The Netherfrost Divine Realm camp.
Black mist enveloped the area.
As the voice of the Heavenly Dao faded,
the sky suddenly split open with a dark rift,
as if torn apart by some invisible colossal claw. A torrent of black mist poured down, instantly swallowing most of the camp.
"ROAR—!"
The roars of savage beasts echoed incessantly. Once-docile spirit beasts now had crimson eyes, bared fangs, and were frantically assaulting the camp's outer defensive formations.
"Qin Luo! What the hell is going on?!"
Su Muwan grabbed Qin Luo's arm, her ice-blue eyes flickering with panic.
She might have been lazing around these past few days, but she wasn’t stupid!
This sudden catastrophe was anything but normal!!
Qin Luo frowned, scanning their surroundings.
Within the black mist, countless twisted figures flickered in and out of sight.
Aside from the savage beasts…
there were also… Abominations!!
What’s happening?
Why are Abominations appearing here?
And in such large numbers?
Could it be that these Abominations were always part of this world?
Only now awakened?
Qin Luo began piecing together his thoughts.
"The Heavenly Dao has altered the rules…"
He muttered under his breath, "Battlefield convergence, Abomination invasion—it seems someone triggered a taboo."
"A taboo?"
Su Muwan blinked in confusion.
"Mn. Like… releasing something that shouldn’t exist."
Qin Luo narrowed his eyes, recalling that hoarse voice in his mind—
[My King… protect the tribe… Won’t you… come see me…]
Snapping back to reality, he grabbed Su Muwan’s hand. "No time to overthink, young mistress. We fight our way out first!"
"Fight?"
Su Muwan tilted her head. "Didn’t you say the War of Faith isn’t about slaughter?"
"Things are different now."
Qin Luo smirked. "If we can’t figure it out, we’ll just smash through everything in our path!"
"One step at a time!"
Before his words fully faded, shadow energy surged in his palm, coalescing into a pitch-black longsword!
He deactivated the formation.
Then slashed forward with a mighty swing.
"BOOM—!"
The blade unleashed a tidal wave of shadows, instantly shredding dozens of Abominations into dissipating mist!
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.
He’d suspected it before, but now it was confirmed—
His shadow energy seemed to naturally counter these Abominations.
Seeing this, Su Muwan snorted. "Tch, should’ve done this sooner!"
With a flick of her finger, frigid energy erupted.
The black mist within a hundred-meter radius instantly froze, shattering into icy fragments!
"Everyone, listen up!"
Qin Luo’s voice boomed across the camp. "Abandon preaching. Focus all efforts on exterminating the Abominations!"
"YES!"
A thunderous response came from 100,000 cultivators, their battle cries shaking the heavens!

Meanwhile.
"Captain! These monsters just keep coming!"
The Red-haired Youth roared, sweeping his flaming spear to repel an oncoming Abomination.
Yet more poured from the black mist—faceless, twisted figures, their attacks spewing corrosive black ooze that burned on contact!
"Dammit… What the hell are these things?!"
"They’re not like the Abominations we’ve faced before!"
The Mechanic gritted his teeth, his energy cannon firing relentlessly, barely slowing the onslaught.
Luo Ya’s face was pale, her detection compass spinning wildly as if heralding an inescapable calamity.
"These aren’t ordinary Abominations…"
The Captain’s voice was grim. "They carry another presence…"
"Probably… linked to that skeleton."
"The skeleton?!"
The team’s pupils contracted.
They’d fought their way out from the ice sculpture’s location.
Hearing this, the Red-haired Youth turned to look—
And froze.
"Hey… guys, look behind us…"
His voice trembled. "That skeleton… Is it standing up?"
Everyone whirled around.
At the epicenter of the black mist, where the ice sculpture once stood, a colossal skeleton now rose slowly. Crimson flames flickered within its hollow eye sockets.
This is insane. What’s happening?!
The Captain’s scalp prickled, his voice shaking for the first time. "RUN!"

The Holy Alliance forces were also under attack.
"Hold formation! Do NOT scatter!"
Tian Zixing commanded coldly, his body radiating starlight. Every flick of his finger obliterated an Abomination.
Alliance cultivators panicked—they’d never encountered such horrors.
Even Supreme Realm experts could turn to withered bones if touched by the black ooze!
"Bai Wuchen! Secure the left flank!"
"Lei Wuji! Where’s your thunder magic? Don’t tell me you can’t handle these pests!"
Tian Zixing’s voice steadied the chaotic ranks like an anchor.
But as he issued orders, his peripheral vision caught a slender figure stumbling toward them—
"H-Help me!"
Lian’s face was ghostly pale, her dress torn by the mist, revealing bloody gashes.
Three Abominations pursued her relentlessly as she staggered forward.
"Whimper… Someone, please…"
Her tearful plea was so frail it seemed she’d collapse any second.
Tian Zixing frowned. In a flash, he appeared before her and flicked his sleeve.
"BOOM!"
Starlight blades annihilated the Abominations instantly.
"B-Benefactor!"
Lian looked up at him with glistening eyes. "Thank you… You saved me again…"
Tian Zixing’s gaze was icy. "I told you to stay in the rear."
"I… I wanted to help…"
She hung her head, fingers twisting her tattered clothes. "But… I’m just… useless…"
Her whisper was so full of self-reproach and sorrow that anyone would soften.
After a pause, Tian Zixing finally said flatly, "Stay close. Don’t wander."
"Mn!"
Lian beamed through her tears.
As Tian Zixing turned back to command, she secretly patted the beast pouch at her waist, thinking:
"Pochi, hang in there. Not time yet…"
"Ugh… I know you’re starving…"
"But these monsters look disgusting anyway…"
Su Bailian rolled her eyes while surveying the horde.
Seriously, she might lack cultivation, but she’d seen worse.
These things? Not even close to that psycho big sister’s aura!
Right, Pochi?
[Woof!]

Beyond the Myriad Battlefield…
In the Linglong Heavenly Realm.
"Your Majesty! Disaster strikes!"
A Linglong elder rushed into the throne room, clutching a shattered soul tablet.
"The Cloudveil Holy Realm… has fallen!"
"What?!"
The Linglong Empress shot to her feet, phoenix eyes wide.
Her gaze locked onto the Heavenly Dao’s golden leaderboard—Cloudveil’s faith value hadn’t just zeroed out; their name had vanished entirely.
This meant… every Chosen One of Cloudveil was dead!
"Impossible!"
Her voice shook.
Chaos spread among other realms as names on the leaderboard dimmed one after another.
As if some unspeakable horror was reaping the Chosen en masse.
"What in the world is happening?!"
"Something's gone wrong in the Great Thousand Battlefield! Quick, contact our Yizi!"
"The Yizi sent word!! They said... they said evil creatures have appeared in the battlefield!!"
"What?! Evil creatures?!"
This was unprecedented—never before had such a thing happened in the Great Thousand Battlefield!
Evil creatures... inside the arena of the Great Thousand War?!
Just as panic spread among the crowd, the Voice of the Heavenly Dao resonated once more:
["Those above the Dominator Realm may suppress their cultivation to the Dominator Realm and enter the battlefield to exterminate the abominations!!"]
["Those who choose to enter must slay the abominations—or else be trapped within that world forever!"]
The grand hall fell deathly silent.
Wait, wait—what in the world is going on?
First, the Great Thousand War merges, then evil creatures appear, and now... even those without the Mandate of Heaven can enter?!
What kind of twisted Great Thousand War is this?!
The rules keep changing—what is the meaning of this?!
But no matter what...
"Hahaha! Heaven favors me!"
The Radiant Empress trembled with exhilaration, her laughter bordering on manic.
"Su Muwan... this time, I will personally grind your bones to dust!"
With a fierce sweep of her sleeve, she barked her command:
"All Eternal Realm elders—follow me into the battlefield!!!!"
"As you will!"

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family."

Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
