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!"

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!
+【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!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
