"Chief, looks like first place this time is ours for sure!"
One of the members of [Final Dusk], [Sunset], said smugly.
"All thanks to that benefactor's gift. Those so-called prodigies and saints? In the illusion realm, they're nothing but a bunch of trash! Hahaha!"
Another player with the ID [Black Serpent] laughed just as arrogantly.
Granted blessings by [Heart Demon], they had not only broken through to the Golden Core realm overnight but could also light the eighth spirit lamp of the Ten Directions Spirit Summoning Array.
With the enhancements of X-ray vision and auto-aim, they were invincible in the "Immortal Abyss Operation"!
Even Li Moran, whom they once dared not even look at, could only be bullied by them now.
"Should we just go straight for them this time? Wouldn't that be too blatant?"
As soon as they landed, [Sunset] asked with some concern.
"Heh, it's not our fault this time... they spawned right next to us!"
[Dusk] let out a sinister chuckle and pointed toward the direction of Cell Two.
In his field of vision, the IDs of Lu Ze and his two companions were clearly visible.
"This time..."
"We'll take them out ourselves!"
...
In the Lingxiao Sect viewing area.
"Junior Brother Lu's team spawned in Cell Two, while [Final Dusk] landed in Cell One. They're very close!"
"[Final Dusk] chose not to crouch and wait in this round—they're going on the offensive..."
"What's going on? Brother Zhou and Sister Li didn't set up their guns—they chose to loot and eat in Cell Two instead?"
"[Final Dusk] is in position! Brother Zhou barely pulled a cow horn out of the cabinet before getting taken out... How is he so squishy?"
Zhong Yi frowned as he watched the scene unfold.
His attention was all on [Final Dusk]; he hadn't noticed the starting gear of the [Trim Your Jade Feet] trio.
"Sister Li decided to fight back... What the hell? A humane machine gun?"
As Li Moran fell, Zhong Yi suddenly realized something and quickly shifted his view to Lu Ze.
Looking at Lu Ze, fully armed and calmly taking his time, Zhong Yi was pleasantly surprised:
"Could it be..."
"Junior Brother Lu is about to make his move?!"
...
The Heavenly Dao live stream.
The barrage was all curses and complaints.
[They died way too fast!]
[It feels like Brother Zhou wasn't wearing any armor—too squishy!]
[Sister Li's gunshots sound off... So cheap?]
[Don't tell me they came in just to run around with knives? Already giving up?]
[It's over, it's over, [Final Dusk] is definitely going to win...]
[Strange, Lu the Demon King isn't blowing himself up at the start this round?]
[Lu the Demon King is still alive!]
[What's the point of him being alive? Both his teammates are dead—what's the use of a loaded boss?]
[Lu the Demon King better find a good spot to lie low—maybe there's still a chance.]
...
Ascension Base, Cell Two.
"They're here."
Li Moran, who had just been eliminated, warned.
"Be careful—they have the Six-Set and [Death]!"
Zhou Yue added anxiously in his mind.
[Final Dusk] had two clean sweeps, unlocked the spirit stones, and acquired two Six-Set suits and [Death]. Their gear now crushed everything.
Even someone as strong as Lu Ze—Zhou Yue couldn't figure out how to turn this around.
"Junior Brother Lu, how are we supposed to beat them?"
Zhou Yue asked in utter confusion.
"Simple,"
Lu Ze said with a faint smile.
"All we have to do is be faster than them, right?"
...
On the other side.
"Haha, they crumbled way too easily this time, huh?"
[Sunset] laughed, kicking Zhou Yue's corpse, his pride swelling.
"There's still Lu Ze left? Watch your feet—don't let him 'trim' them! Hahaha!"
[Black Serpent] chimed in with a laugh from outside the workshop.
Jokes aside, the three knew Lu Ze could never actually hit their feet.
His figure was highlighted by a rectangular box in their vision—every move he made, all in plain sight.
"Heh, he's hiding at the corner on the second floor near the stairway... You charge; I'll cover."
[Dusk] said to [Sunset] beside him.
"I'm on it!"
[Sunset] laughed loudly, raised his gun, and charged down the corridor.
"Then I'll circle around from downstairs."
[Black Serpent] understood, flanking from the other side.
Dusk aimed the barrel of [Death] firmly at the wall where Lu Ze might emerge.
Behind the wall, the box representing Lu Ze kept swaying slightly, annoying [Dusk].
"What's this kid up to?"
A shadow flashed past the wall, [Dusk] held his breath, but it was just an arm's blur.
"Damn!"
[Dusk] swore under his breath, almost firing but managing to hold back.
The box continued to sway.
But each time a body part showed, it was a minuscule angle.
Dusk knew that with the eighth spirit lamp active, his aim was godlike but locked onto the chest and head.
Rushing a shot would just hit the wall, so he fought to restrain his trigger finger.
"No, I have to wait until he exposes more... more!"
Dusk's focus intensified.
The shadow behind the wall seemed to slow down in his eyes...
Suddenly!
A massive shadow emerged from behind the wall!
"Now!"
Dusk reacted instantly, pulling the trigger.
At the same time, his eyes focused on the shadow's outline—
Lu Ze's butt.
"Damn!!!"
...
The red spirit bullet flame of [Death] shot out!
"Bang!"
But it hit the wall in front of Lu Ze.
"I knew it."
Lu Ze thought calmly.
He had already guessed their auto-aim was a low-grade version.
Even if it had hit his rear, it wouldn't have been fatal, so he took the risk.
Now the crucial AW bullet was spent—a rare opening!
A gap of one bullet...
Lu Ze seized it.
For players using X-ray vision like these, Lu Ze had never truly seen them as threats.
They once had some technique, but now they were too reliant on their crutches—forgetting the real art of player-versus-player combat.
For instance, if they had placed a shock arrow at his current position, peeking would have been far harder than this.
Or...
From the footsteps, it was obvious—
The Valiant charging down the corridor was striding carelessly, without using any cover at all.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."

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.
. 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!"
