Zhou Yue wielded a massive two-meter-long broadsword, hacking away at the minions with each swing.
With his rage fully stacked, his critical strike rate had soared to 75%, meaning almost every fourth strike landed with a devastating blow.
The satisfying feedback of a critical hit made each slash feel exhilarating.
"Whoa, this blade feels amazing too! Gotta try it in a match someday!"
Zhou Yue was thoroughly pleased with the champion, the Barbarian King, happily pushing his lane with glee.
After the Demonic AI summoned the Teemo Demon King, the entire enemy team camped mid, leaving Zhou Yue free to farm in peace.
"Finally, I don’t have to see that damn—"
Before he could finish, a teleportation circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet.
"…"
Zhou Yue’s smile froze on his face.
The next second, the teleportation array whisked him straight into the presence of the Teemo Demon King.
Their eyes met.
Staring down at the tiny Teemo, who barely reached his knees, Zhou Yue itched to punch the little menace.
But after countless beatings, he knew full well he stood no chance against this pint-sized terror…
The Teemo blinked at him, looking slightly puzzled.
That expression felt eerily familiar—like he’d seen it somewhere before…
"Damn it, I’ll fight you to the—"
[Teemo Demon King has slain Unbreakable (Barbarian King)!]
……
A few dozen seconds later.
"Zhong Yi, didn’t you say he wouldn’t come to the side lanes…?"
Zhou Yue grumbled as he respawned at the fountain.
Everything had happened so fast—he hadn’t even remembered to activate his ultimate.
"Well, did he actually go to your lane?"
"…"
"Relax, old Zhou. These special abilities have cooldowns. A long-range teleport like that has an especially long one. You’re safe to push now!"
"Fine."
Zhou Yue bought another attack speed sword and headed back to the bot lane.
As Zhong Yi had predicted, the Teemo Demon King never appeared in the top or bot lanes—otherwise, the players wouldn’t stand a sliver of a chance.
In contrast, the Teemo Demon King, controlled by the remnant of the Heavenly Dao, was terrifyingly powerful.
Other Demonic AI units had at most three extra skills.
But the Heavenly Dao remnant had access to every champion’s abilities.
In short, once the Teemo Demon King manifested the Heavenly Dao’s true power, players had zero chance of winning in a direct confrontation!
Seeing the Teemo Demon King suddenly dip into the bot-side jungle, Zhou Yue tensed.
"Tch, as long as he doesn’t enter the jungle, it’s fine…"
Humming to himself, Zhou Yue marched forward confidently.
Then—
Without warning—
An arm shot out from the brush near the stone golems, yanking him straight into the jungle.
"???"
Zhou Yue was dumbfounded.
"Got~cha~"
"Bastard! I’ll fight you to the death!!"
……
Even with his ultimate activated, it only bought him five extra seconds.
Zhou Yue returned to the fountain once more.
"Zhong Yi!! You said—"
Before he could finish, Zhong Yi cut in:
"Tell me, did he actually leave the jungle?"
"…No."
"Exactly. Just stick with the minions this time. Don’t get hooked again."
"Fine."
……
This time, Zhou Yue played it smart, leisurely following the minions down the lane.
When he reached the stone golem brush, he even juked back and forth, dancing like a madman.
Zhong Yi couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.
"Stop overthinking it! It’s not like the Teemo Demon King has a personal vendetta against you, right?"
The moment he said it, an enhanced Light Binding shot out from the same damned brush.
A barrage of restraining spells flew from all directions, pinning Zhou Yue in place—then that same unnaturally long arm reached out again…
……
……
As Zhou Yue’s agonized howls echoed from the jungle, the others couldn’t decide whether to pity him or laugh.
Zhong Yi, safely pushing top, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
There was one crucial detail he hadn’t shared with the team about his plan.
Someone had to distract the Teemo Demon King.
It couldn’t be Zhou Qiaoling, who drew too much aggro.
It couldn’t be Mu Yawen, who buffed allies.
And it definitely couldn’t be Li Moran, their main defender…
That left only Zhou Yue.
Besides, no one else could even do the job.
From Zhong Yi’s observations, the Teemo Demon King’s first target was almost always Zhou Yue…
And so, the plan succeeded.
Both the monstrous Teemo Demon King and the annoying Demonic AI were locked down in mid and the jungle.
Zhong Yi split-pushed to his heart’s content—it was like playing a solo game!
"Junior Sister Zhou, keep an eye out for recalls or teleports! I’m pushing high ground!!"
……
……
Li Moran defended their base flawlessly.
Zhou Qiaoling pulled aggro with bated breath.
Zhong Yi backdoored with unbridled joy.
Only one person was left battered, bruised, and seething with rage.
"Damn it, I’ll take you down with me!!"
Zhou Yue struggled to suppress the spiritual energy in his physical body, terrified that an outburst might disconnect him from the illusion.
Since when was bullying allowed like this?
Death after death, in every possible humiliating way.
Zhou Yue gritted his teeth, cursing the fact that cultivation couldn’t be brought into the illusion. Otherwise, he’d have taught this Teemo Demon King a brutal lesson!
Gripping his broadsword, he abandoned the bot lane entirely.
Straight into the jungle he went!
The Teemo Demon King raised an eyebrow, his slit-like eyes flashing with a cruel, bloody light as he struck even harder…
……
Zhong Yi pushed unimpeded through the top lane, taking down the high ground turret before recalling to upgrade his items.
Phantom Dancer, Statikk Shiv, Bloodthirster—the holy trinity of noob-friendly gear.
"Again!!"
Zhong Yi’s eyes burned with determination as he teleported straight into the enemy base.
"Hold the line… buy me as much time as you can!!"
……
"AGAIN!!!"
Zhou Yue roared in unison.
By now, he’d cast aside all reason—his only thought was to kill this damned Teemo Demon King.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yue’s health bar plummeted to critical levels.
Fully immersed in the fight, he timed his Undying Rage perfectly, activating it just as the killing blow landed. Five seconds of invincibility—five seconds to fight like a true barbarian.
The Teemo Demon King’s crimson eyes gleamed as dark flames coalesced in his palm.
Waves of black fire engulfed Zhou Yue.
Even in the illusion, he felt an agony that seared his bones and shattered his soul.
"I refuse to yield!"
Zhou Yue bellowed, swinging his broadsword wildly against the flames.
"Even if the heavens demand my death, I won’t submit!!"
"BREAK!!!"
As the Barbarian King’s ultimate, Endless Rage, flickered out—
The last ember of his life force guttered…
Yet within the endless black flames, Zhou Yue glimpsed faint golden runes swirling…
……
……
[VICTORY!]
The long-awaited victory screen appeared before the five players.
"We won!!"
"Senior Brother Zhong, your strategy was brilliant!"
"Hahaha… the glory of the Lingxiao Sect rests on our shoulders! Huh? Zhou Yue, what’s wrong?"
……
Zhou Yue gazed thoughtfully at his hands, having completely forgotten that not long ago, he had been struggling for victory in the Demonic Dao Human-Machine Battle.
Suddenly, a faint smile curled at the corners of his lips.
"I... have attained enlightenment!"
......
......
The sixth day after the launch of the Demonic Dao Human-Machine Battle.
The Lingxiao Sect team, led by Zhong Yi, triumphed over the Demonic Dao machines, earning fame across the land.
On the same day,
Zhou Yue, a true disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, broke through to the mid-stage of Divine Transformation.
Within the illusory realm, he comprehended the [Heavenly Prison]—a power capable of incinerating all ten thousand Dao arts in existence.
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying! (Stubborn pure love warrior + single female lead + true pure love + 1v1)
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history. He points his sword at the heavens: "My master said, the sword and the man stand together. If the sword perishes... my master will give me another one."

And without anyone noticing, his own sect, the Qingxuan Sect, has become the number one sect on the continent.
