Why has the former King become like this?
The former King, who once led them to conquer the world.
The former King would never have spoken such gentle words!
All of this! All of this!!
All of this is because...
The consciousness of the Bone Shepherd descended upon Ling Long, its gaze fixed fiercely on Qin Luo... and the woman beside him, Su Muwan!!!
Roar!!!
"Su Muwan!! All of this!! It's because of you!!!"
Ling Long's body twisted and deformed completely, the phantom of a skeletal spider roaring furiously behind her.
Jet-black bone limbs tore through the void, thrusting violently toward Su Muwan!
"Die! Just die! If you're gone, the King will surely return to how he was!!"
The Bone Shepherd's consciousness seethed with madness, staring through Ling Long's eyes at Su Muwan as if it wanted to devour her alive!
—It's all because of this woman!
—The King has become so unrecognizable!
—If she dies, the King will remember everything!
—Remember them! Remember the oaths they once swore!
—Kill!!
Boom—!
The bone limbs shot like black lightning, aiming straight for Su Muwan's throat!
However—
"Roar—!!"
A deafening roar shook the heavens!
The sea of clouds churned as a massive white figure descended with crushing force, the pressure of the Chaos Realm bearing down like collapsing skies, forcibly repelling Ling Long's assault!
"Xiaobai?!"
Su Muwan froze, looking up in surprise.
There, in full manifestation, was the guardian beast of the Netherfrost Divine Domain—Xiaobai!
Its snow-white body resembled a qilin, yet it bore dragon horns, its form wreathed in chaotic energy as its golden eyes coldly glared down at Ling Long.
"A mere abomination dares to attack my master?!"
Xiaobai growled, and the sea of clouds churned with countless spirit beasts emerging—
Leading the charge was a five-headed shark, crackling with lightning, charging forward with reckless abandon.
"Chaos Realm?!"
The Bone Shepherd's consciousness shuddered, but then it sneered. "Heh... So what if it's the Chaos Realm? Under the rules, all beings are equal!"
It manipulated Ling Long's body, spreading her arms wide—
Gluttony Rule: Devouring Domain!
Hum—!
A pitch-black domain erupted, instantly draining the spiritual energy of all who entered!
"What?!"
Xiaobai's pupils contracted, sensing its energy rapidly depleting!
"Hahaha! What good is the Chaos Realm? In my domain, spiritual energy is useless!"
Ling Long cackled wildly, her bone limbs raining down like a storm upon Xiaobai!
"Tch!"
Xiaobai dodged swiftly, but the energy drain slowed its movements.
"A rule-based abomination... troublesome!"
—Unless the rule was broken, even a Chaos Realm existence could be worn down to death!
"Xiaobai! Fall back!"
Su Muwan's cold voice rang out as frigid power erupted, an icy Great Wall rising from the ground to block Ling Long's onslaught!
Her eyes sharpened with realization—
"They're targeting me... just as I thought!"
"Of course, this is the fate of a villainess, isn't it? Even abominations want me dead?!"
She laughed bitterly, but her fighting spirit flared!
"Well then... let's see if you have what it takes!"
Absolute Frost: Eternal Ice Age!
Boom—!
An icy-blue shockwave swept out, freezing countless abominations in an instant!
Ling Long tore through the ice with a sneer, lunging again. "Useless! My rule is 'devouring energy.' Your frost will be consumed sooner or later!"
"Oh?"
Su Muwan smirked, suddenly vanishing and reappearing behind Ling Long—
"Then I won't use energy!"
Wham—!
A whip-like kick, fueled purely by physical strength, sent Ling Long flying hundreds of feet!
"What?!"
Ling Long's eyes widened in disbelief.
—Su Muwan's physical power was this strong?!
"Hmph."
Su Muwan flicked her wrist, sneering. "During my dream cultivation, I devoured plenty of immortal physiques!"
"Now... it's my turn!"
She charged at Ling Long, fists and legs a tempest of earth-shattering blows!
"Damn it! Damn it!!"
Ling Long staggered back, the Bone Shepherd's consciousness howling—
"Why?! Why is she so strong?!"
"Wait... she carries... the aura of the Heavenly Dao?!"
"The Heavenly Dao?! It’s the Heavenly Dao’s doing!!!"
"King!! Wake up!! You’ve been deceived by the Heavenly Dao!!!"
The Bone Shepherd's shrieks echoed in Qin Luo's mind, making him frown.
"King? Heavenly Dao?"
While controlling the Ten Thousand Demon Banner to summon shadow creatures against the abomination tide, he pondered—
"Who is this 'King' they speak of...?"
"Me? Or... Su Muwan?"
Before he could dwell on it—
Swish!
A spatial rift tore open behind him!
Qin Luo's eyes narrowed as he sidestepped just in time!
"Oh? You dodged?"
A cheerful girl's voice chimed as a twin-tailed maiden peeked out from the rift, blinking. "Pretty quick reflexes~"
Someone from the Heavenly Dao's space?!
Qin Luo's pupils shrank, sensing his surroundings—
"Not good!"
Unnoticed, hundreds of hidden presences had surrounded the battlefield!
—Every squad from the Heavenly Dao's space had arrived!
Realizing they were exposed, they no longer hid.
"Target for containment—Qin Luo!"
"Move out!"
Swish, swish, swish—!
Hundreds of Heavenly Dao operatives appeared at once, hurling sealing artifacts and spells like a downpour at Qin Luo!
"Tch!"
Qin Luo weaved through the attacks like a phantom, shadows forming barriers to block them.
Without pause, he backhanded two assailants into the distance!
"Qin Luo!"
Su Muwan noticed the commotion, her heart clenching as she tried to rush over—
Swirl!
A dark vortex yawned beneath her, swallowing her whole!
The aura of the Nether River?!
"Miss Su?!"
Qin Luo's expression darkened, but before he could pursue—
"ROAR—!!!"
A deafening bellow shook the skies!
Everyone looked up—
On the horizon, an endless tide of spider abominations surged forward!
At the forefront—
A colossal skeletal spider, mountain-sized, strode through the void, its crimson eyes locked onto Qin Luo!
"My King... I’ve come for you!"
The Bone Shepherd's consciousness returned to its true form—the Skeletal Spider had descended!
Too fast!
Qin Luo realized these abominations weren’t here for a drawn-out battle.
Every one of them was unleashing their full power without restraint, as if life meant nothing.
Yet before he could react—
Boom—!
The waters of the Nether River cascaded from the heavens as a rotting ferry tore through space, the River's ancient master standing at its bow, his voice echoing:
"Young friend, come to the Nether River as my guest!"
With that—
Hum!!
A massive black net descended toward Qin Luo!
"Qin Luo... is ours!"
The Celestial Pivot squad leader activated a containment device, eyes locked onto Qin Luo.
The timing was perfect. Seizing Qin Luo now... they were determined to succeed!
"Get out of my way!!"
"The King... belongs to me!!"
The army of abominations also lunged at Qin Luo with terrifying speed.
At this moment.
Xiaobai was suppressed by the rules, while Su Muwan was dragged into the Nether River's spatial prison.
"So this is how it is..."
Only then did Qin Luo realize.
Three factions—the abominations, the Heavenly Dao's domain, and the Nether River—had all come... for him!!
On the branch of the Tree of Destiny, a golden silhouette swung its legs lazily. "Tsk tsk, as expected. The Heavenly Dao's script cannot be altered."
"No matter which of these three factions claims Qin Luo."
"The outcome... will remain unchanged."
"As for that Su Muwan..."
The golden silhouette shook its head. "In the end, she's just an ant. There's nothing she can do to shift the tides in this battle of powers."
"I wonder how she'll react when she emerges from the Nether River's prison and finds Qin Luo gone?"
"Hmph! Serves her right for always plucking the Celestial Leaves. Now she’s learned her lesson~~"
Doctor Ya, however, remained silent for a moment before murmuring, "I have a feeling... this isn’t over yet."
The golden silhouette laughed. "Come on, Ya. Are you suggesting Su Muwan could actually turn the tables?"
"With just her measly antagonist fate, how could she possibly break free from the Nether River’s prison—"
Before the words could fully leave its mouth—
BOOM!!!
A blinding white light tore through the heavens.
At the same time.
A voice, thick with murderous intent and suppressed rage, reverberated across the battlefield.
"You all..."
"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!"
CRACK!!!
The Nether River's spatial prison shattered.
A surge of frigid power erupted violently.
Everyone realized...
They couldn’t move.
+【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!

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!

Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it!
