"What's going on? Empty?"
[Setting Sun] instantly became alert, but it was already too late.
The square block behind the wall moved!
"Damn it!"
[Setting Sun] didn't take any chances. Instinctively, he activated Wyvern's jetpack skill.
In his memory, except for their team using the Ten Directions Spirit Subduing Formation, no one could react to a sudden jet-propelled retreat.
But that impression was about to change.
Lu Ze peeked out with an extremely small angle, and under [Setting Sun]'s despairing gaze, spirit bullets poured out like a tidal wave.
[Setting Sun] was still mid-flight from his jetpack when he turned into a corpse, crashing heavily to the ground.
"Fucking hell! He has formation support too!?"
[Setting Sun] was terrified.
Because he died far too quickly, far too suddenly.
When he opened the damage statistics, he gasped.
Three spirit bullets to the head, zero damage to armor.
"How did you die?"
[Black Serpent] had just arrived at the corridor area and was about to flank from the first floor, completely unaware of what had happened in the hallway.
[Twilight] swapped in spirit bullets and urged loudly:
"Old Black, get over here fast. This kid is unnerving...!"
...
Heavenly Dao Live Stream.
One viewing area after another erupted with roaring, sea-like cheers.
[What just happened?! What did I just witness!?]
[An air-frag! Such a sick air-frag!!]
[Is this still that Lu the Demon who only aims at feet...]
[Possessed?]
[How is this not Lu the Demon anymore? Who uses their ass to peek a corner?]
[Learned! Totally learned!]
[I learned the butt-peek trick, but how do I learn three shots destroying full armor?]
[Is Surge really this insane?]
...
...
"Zzzt—"
A spirit arrow pressed against the wall in front of Lu Ze.
"Oh? Finally decided to use items?"
Lu Ze raised an eyebrow.
After taking down the first Wyvern, he didn't let his guard down.
The biggest threat was always that [Death], in other words, the AWM from his past life.
Level 7 red bullets. Absolute equality for all.
Footsteps from the first floor were getting closer, clearly trying to pincer him.
"If they surround me, it won't be easy to handle, right?" Zhou Yue said with concern.
"Sister Li, tell me: what should you do in this situation in a solo-triple match?" Lu Ze asked with a smile.
"..."
Li Moran clenched her fist, wanting to punch Lu Ze.
Though he called her "Sister," his tone was more like that of a master.
"In a 1v3, the most important thing is to split them up..."
"Right now, the Wyvern is down, Luna is on the second floor, and Red Wolf is on the first floor. That's a perfect split."
"So what needs to be done now..."
"Is to attack one of them."
Li Moran closed her eyes, trying to put herself in that situation.
Luna had full armor and [Death], making her the biggest threat.
In comparison, Red Wolf didn't have full armor and was at a low-ground disadvantage, making him the better target.
"Generally speaking, jumping down directly to attack Red Wolf is indeed the optimal choice..."
As if reading Li Moran's thoughts, Lu Ze sprinted to the railing and stepped onto it.
...
Corridor.
[Twilight] held his breath, his eyes locked onto Lu Ze's square indicator.
It moved!
[Twilight] instantly became alert.
But Lu Ze didn't launch an attack. Instead, he ran toward the railing...
Before using the Ten Directions Spirit Subduing Formation, [Twilight] had been a moderately skilled player.
Now, he immediately realized Lu Ze's plan.
"Old Black, watch out! He's about to jump down and grab you!!"
[Twilight] shouted loudly, quickly stowing away [Death] and charging toward Lu Ze's position.
Seeing Lu Ze's indicator jump over the railing, [Twilight] stopped hesitating and sped up...
...
At the same time.
Lu Ze, now airborne, listened to the footsteps closing in behind him. A faint, scheming smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"...But in this particular situation..."
"You have to go against the grain."
With that thought, he activated his jetpack and propelled himself backward.
...
Behind Lu Ze.
"Old Black, watch your head. I'll hit him from behind on the second floor. You..."
Just as [Twilight] was about to round the corner, his breath hitched—
A strange figure rapidly shot backward, moving so fast his eyes couldn't keep up!
"...Fuck!"
By the time [Twilight] tried to pull the trigger, it was already far too late.
Golden spirit bullets slammed onto his head in rapid succession!
...
Spirit Cloud Sect Viewing Area.
Zhong Yi watched the scene with rapt fascination and exclaimed excitedly:
"Junior Brother Lu wanted to jump down and pick on Red Wolf..."
"[Twilight] realized Junior Brother Lu's plan and wanted to rush over to hit his back!"
"Junior Brother Lu realized that [Twilight] realized his plan, so he used the jetpack to retreat and reverse the position!"
"So brilliant, so insane!"
"[Twilight]'s precognitive ability was utterly useless against Junior Brother Lu! He was caught completely off guard!"
"Junior Brother Lu sent [Twilight] away with three spirit bullets to the head, though [Twilight] got one shot on Junior Brother Lu's chest..."
"Now it's just Junior Brother Lu and Red Wolf in a 1v1!"
...
...
Prison, Second Floor.
Zhou Yue and Li Moran stared at the scene in utter shock.
They both knew Lu Ze was strong.
But neither of them knew just how strong.
Taking out two fully armored players with six spirit bullets was within their realm of understanding—aim could be trained.
But that jet-propelled step-back operation was truly breathtaking.
"You're no weaker than them. You just lack experience."
Lu Ze put on his fully intact armor, healing up as he spoke.
Against these cheater-level opponents from his past life, they couldn't compare.
Zhou Yue and Li Moran's gaming talent would stand out even among professionals; they weren't without a fighting chance.
But after all, "Fairy Abyss Frontier" had only been out for two months, and players' tactical development was still shallow.
Otherwise, even just one Luna's item suppression would've been enough to suffocate these low-level cheaters.
"That jetpack move... did you plan it before jumping?"
Li Moran took a deep breath and asked.
"Yeah."
Lu Ze nodded.
He knew clearly that the enemy was wall-hacking, seeing his every move.
Taking the initiative to attack while a cheating scope-user with [Death] was directly aiming at him would've been suicide.
He had to trick them into coming to him.
Hence that maneuver just now.
"And the headshots...?"
Zhou Yue asked out of curiosity.
Two people had died, and their armor didn't take a single point of damage. That was simply too insane.
"Ah? Don't you guys aim for the head?"
Luze blinked innocently, pretending not to understand.
"Aiming for the body is considered a missed shot!"
"...I shouldn't have asked."
Zhou Yue's fists clenched too.
"Next..."
Lu Ze was fully healed. The steps of the last member of [Twilight of the End] had reached the stairwell, hesitating, never daring to advance.
Earlier, while facing three enemies with full armor and [Death], Lu Ze had been under some pressure.
But now that all the equipment had fallen into his hands, the situation was completely different.
"It's just a stomp now."
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?! ...

lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
y came from. The chests contained supplies, currency, class-change scrolls, skills, talents… and even godhood! The laws of the world were completely rewritten. This became a world where everyone gambled with their fate! Some people, despite having nothing, opened a divine artifact and rose to the top, eventually ruling the world. Others went bankrupt, opened nothing but worthless junk, and leaped from skyscrapers in despair. Lin Ye arrived in this world from another reality, utterly bewildered. “What is going on? Why is everyone a gambling addict?!” “Opening chests? No way. I refuse to gamble. I’ll start with myself!” Until— On his first chest, he obtained a Mythic Talent: Void Incarnation! He could become completely intangible, pass through all things, and reduce everything to nothingness! … On his fiftieth chest, he obtained a Mythic Weapon: Blade of Karma! With a single slash, karma shattered, twisting the universe and overturning the myriad phenomena of creation! … On his ninety-ninth chest, he obtained a Mythic Divine Treasure: Primordial Purple Energy! It could split open the heavens and earth, create all things, and evolve countless worlds with a single thought! Lin Ye: “Now that I think about it… shouldn’t someone have told me that every chest is guaranteed to contain something Mythic?!”
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.
