The sealed world remained shrouded in darkness.
An Yi lay on the air mattress, staring blankly at Shangguan Qianqian as she dressed beside him.
Had he just lost his virginity?
Shangguan Qianqian turned her head and frowned slightly at the way An Yi was staring at her. "Still want more?"
"Five times already!"
"The aphrodisiac poison is completely purged!"
This bastard still wasn’t satisfied.
An Yi snapped out of his daze and coughed lightly. "Well, actually, I—"
Shangguan Qianqian sighed softly and lay back down on the air mattress, closing her eyes.
Seeing her alluring, delicate figure, An Yi’s throat went dry. Even if he hadn’t been thinking about it before, he certainly was now.
Noticing his movements, Shangguan Qianqian quickly opened her eyes. "No taking me from behind!"
An Yi: "..."
After completing the "Ladies' Man" mission, An Yi gained another 100 points of Evil Power—precious lifelines for him.
Shangguan Qianqian gazed up at the sealed barrier above them and murmured, "Do we even have a chance of getting out?"
"Before, no. But now that you're here, we do."
An Yi spoke with confidence.
Shangguan Qianqian rolled her eyes at him.
Though the line was cheesy, she couldn’t help but feel a little moved.
After all, her place in his heart was practically insignificant.
An Yi took a deep breath and dumped all 100 points of Evil Power into the "Lockpicking" skill.
Ding!
[Lockpicking] has reached Lv. 5 (Max)! Acquired skill [Shatter Void]!
An Yi excitedly opened the skill description.
[Shatter Void]
Skill Effect: Deals extreme damage to seals, barriers, and similar constructs!
"Extreme damage."
The system’s descriptions were as useless as ever.
Shangguan Qianqian rested her head on An Yi’s shoulder and whispered, "Will we die here?"
"Scared?" An Yi chuckled.
Shangguan Qianqian shook her head and wrapped her arms around his, seeking warmth in the afterglow of their passion.
She had never held any expectations for this world.
Even after being reborn, she had no purpose.
Revenge against the Joyous Sect?
She couldn’t be bothered.
Raised by the Joyous Sect, only to be used as a bargaining chip in a political marriage.
The best outcome would be a quick death.
"Let’s go. Time to leave."
An Yi grinned at the seal. "And settle things with that dumb mutt."

In the grand hall, the Colossal Beast of the Abyss strode forward, wreathed in black flames.
Having eaten its fill, it no longer craved human flesh.
Toying with these people was far more entertaining.
"Buddha’s Wrath!"
Ji Chen swung his staff at the beast, the faint silhouette of the Karmic Bodhisattva manifesting behind him.
"Showing off right after learning it?"
The Colossal Beast swatted the phantom image away with a single claw. "Even the original Karmic Bodhisattva was trapped here by me. Did you really think inheriting his legacy would make you stronger?"
The Buddha’s image shattered.
Ji Chen staggered back, blood trickling from the corners of his eyes. The twisted duality of his face faded, revealing his original, handsome features.
Lv Zheng lay on the ground, robes torn, claw marks gouging deep into his torso.
Utterly defenseless.
This beast had been playing with them all along.
Jiang Cheng gripped his knuckle dusters, his ash-gray hair disheveled, his dust-covered face etched with murderous intent.
"Little thing, you look unhappy," the Colossal Beast taunted.
Suddenly—
Jiang Cheng’s body surged with white energy as he lunged forward like a blur!
Boom!
His fist struck the beast’s foreleg.
The recoil sent him crashing to one knee, but his eyes burned with defiance.
His fists steamed as he struck again.
The Colossal Beast blinked in surprise.
This kid had actually made it feel pain—even if just a little.
Only someone at the Void Realm should be capable of that.
"Kid, I’ve taken a liking to you. How about serving under me?"
The beast grinned, its crimson eyes fixed on Jiang Cheng.
Honestly, it was intrigued.
Given time, this human could become a true powerhouse.
Jiang Cheng panted heavily, drenched in sweat.
He had given everything he had, yet his efforts were still insignificant.
The other warriors watched in despair.
There was no escape.
Were they just waiting to die?
The Colossal Beast turned its attention to Xue Ruirui.
Her eyes held a flicker of hope amidst despair. She forced a bitter smile and stepped forward.
"Oh? The flat-chested little girl wants to die? I’ll gladly oblige!"
The beast opened its maw wide.
Tender young flesh was always the tastiest.
Clang!
Chains rattled.
Xue Ruirui was yanked back by the neck just as the beast’s jaws snapped shut.
"If you want to die, I won’t allow it."
Zhang Fan pulled her behind him with the chain, his hood falling back as he glared coldly at the beast.
Wham!
A single swipe sent Zhang Fan flying into the wall.
Blood spilled from his lips as he collapsed.
"Strange, strange… You and that other kid both have something I can’t see through. I’ll have to take my time figuring you out."
The beast stalked closer, eyes gleaming with cruelty.
Bang! Bang!
Noises from the other side drew its attention.
"What’s this?"
Lin Chen’s twin tonfas, wreathed in cyan energy, slammed against the barrier.
But the seal remained unbroken.
His strikes were like punches into cotton.
An Yi was still trapped below, and there was no way to open it from the outside.
Yan Zhi’s silver whip lashed against the seal.
"How do we break this thing?!" she growled.
Tang Qingqing stabbed at it with her dart, tears of frustration welling up. "Why did Qianqian-jie go down there?! Brother-in-law, you’re supposed to know everything—can’t you figure it out?!"
Chen Bing pressed a hand to the barrier and shook his head.
He had no idea how to dismantle it.
"Don’t bother. That kid’s sealed inside forever," the Colossal Beast sneered at Lin Chen, raising a claw. "This barrier is forged from a millennium of resentment. A mere ant like you could never break it."
Just as it swung—
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, striking the beast’s head.
The bullet evaporated before even touching it, consumed by the black flames.
"Lin Chen, run!" Su Xue’er shouted, gripping her sniper rifle.
The beast chuckled, peering into her heart. "Little girl, you’d die for him willingly? Is he really worth it?"
Her hands trembled as she fired again.
The bullet vanished into the flames.
Boom!
Before the beast could strike, a massive cyan blade of wind slashed through its flames.
"Someone in this world actually awakened their spiritual veins?"
The Colossal Beast ambled forward, intrigued.
Lin Chen stood firm, wind energy swirling around him.
Noticing the jade pendant hidden beneath his clothes, the beast’s eyes widened.
"Oh? So that’s where it went!"
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill.

ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
