Xu Mu immediately swung his sword at the golden light.
Their qi collided with a thunderous boom, and both Xu Mu and Chen Xuan were sent flying backward.
“Mountainbreaker!”
Even as he flew backward, Chen Xuan unleashed another attack.
A gigantic golden phantom of an axe descended from the heavens, crashing toward Xu Mu.
Xu Mu swiftly dodged.
Rumble!
The golden axe slammed into the ground, making the earth tremble violently. The entire palace shook.
Taking advantage of the opening, Chen Xuan shouted toward Shui Shu in the distance, “Go! Hurry!”
Shui Shu gazed at Chen Xuan’s handsome, delicate features, overjoyed. She never expected that she had struck gold this time.
Chen Xuan before her could actually unleash such powerful attacks, standing toe-to-toe with Xu Mu.
Once she successfully obtained the position of clan head, she would definitely reward this little brother of hers properly.
With the mixed-blood expert beside her leading the way, Shui Shu had just prepared to head deeper inside when she sensed a surge of qi in the distance.
In the next moment, purple lightning flashed in the distance, and Zidian appeared above everyone.
He was different from before. His entire body was now engulfed in purple flames, clearly indicating that he had entered his sleep state.
Shui Shu’s face filled with excitement. “Little brother! Let’s go! Leave this place to Zidian!”
Only then did Chen Xuan immediately follow Shui Shu.
When Xu Mu saw this, a smile appeared on his face. His senses had already detected Zidian, which was why he had deliberately allowed Chen Xuan to show off. That way, Chen Xuan could grow closer to Shui Shu, while Shui Shu would lower her guard against him.
“Xu Mu! This time, I’ll show you just how great the true difference between us is!”
The moment Zidian finished speaking, he transformed into a bolt of purple lightning. His figure repeatedly ricocheted through the palace before suddenly flashing to Zilan Yin’s side.
Seeing this, Xu Mu immediately switched places with Zidian.
“I already predicted your prediction!”
Zidian landed where Xu Mu had been standing and only then launched his attack.
“Moon Sea!”
Swish, swish, swish…
Countless crescent-shaped blades, each no larger than a washbasin, surged toward Zilan Yin like an entire ocean.
Zilan Yin hurriedly tried to defend herself, but the qi surrounding her body was gradually whittled away by the relentless attacks.
In the blink of an eye, Zilan Yin was torn apart. Her flesh was instantly left mangled, and her entire body was sent flying backward.
The moment Zhang Ye’an saw Zidian, he did not wait for Xu Mu to say anything. He grabbed Shui Yuanyao and fled.
As a mixed-blood, he understood better than anyone how important survival was.
Ironically, it was precisely because of this action that he avoided the Moon Sea rushing toward him head-on.
Xu Mu continuously erected walls of air, yet he still could not stop the opponent’s area-wide attack.
There were no other enemies here, and he could not use Star Shift. If he absorbed all these attacks into himself, then aside from Zilan Yin, he had no one else to transfer them to.
Boom!
Xu Mu activated his Spirit Vein Armor. Red threads began to dance through the air, and then he unleashed Demon Guard once more, charging toward Zidian without hesitation.
Crack, crack, crack, crack…
Countless attacks shattered Xu Mu’s armor one after another, but in the very next instant, Xu Mu restored it.
In the blink of an eye, he had forced his way through the barrage and arrived before Zidian.
The damage reflected by Demon Guard also poured into Zidian.
Whoosh!
Only then did Zidian withdraw his attack and instantly retreat into the air.
Xu Mu tightened his grip on his sword. Fortunately, he had not used Final Spark just now, or it would have been wasted.
He immediately turned around and looked toward Zilan Yin, who lay in a pool of blood in the distance.
“Are you all right?”
“I’m fine!”
The black armor covering Zilan Yin’s body had been slashed open in countless places, and blood had long since dyed the ground red.
She glared darkly at Zidian. “Zidian! Even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!”
“Ninth Sister, have you lost your mind? Can’t you see that I’m already asleep? In this state, how many of the younger generation in the entire Inner Realm could possibly be my opponent?”
The crescent moon formed at Zidian’s brow radiated silver light, and he once again flashed before Zilan Yin.
Xu Mu switched places with her again.
“I told you! I already predicted your prediction!”
While attacking Zilan Yin, Zidian had kept track of Xu Mu’s position. If Xu Mu switched places with him, all he had to do was attack again at the location where they had exchanged positions.
“But I predicted your prediction of my prediction!”
This time, Xu Mu did not switch places with Zidian at all. Instead, he switched places with Zilan Yin.
Zidian appeared directly before him.
Xu Mu immediately unleashed Final Spark, using one-tenth of his own qi as he swung his sword at Zidian!
The red blade, heated until it glowed, descended before Zidian in an instant.
“Full Moon!”
A silver moon the size of a basketball suddenly appeared before Zidian.
Boom!
The silver orb collided with Xu Mu’s sword, and terrifying force instantly spread in every direction.
Red and silver clashed, filling the entire area in an instant.
Even the air surrounding them was devoured by the force.
Whoosh!
Xu Mu’s body flew backward like a cannonball and slammed heavily into the palace wall behind him.
Runes from the palace’s formation flashed across the wall. Without the formation protecting it, the wall would have shattered long ago.
Zidian was also forced backward repeatedly before finally crashing into one of the palace pillars and coming to a stop.
Buzz!
His body suddenly trembled, and a thin line of blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth. It was the damage reflected by Demon Guard.
Xu Mu also slid down from the wall. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.
“As expected of a top-tier genius. You really are extraordinary.”
“Damn brat!”
Zidian’s expression twisted viciously. He first turned his head toward Zilan Yin, who had been blasted away in the distance, and immediately charged at her.
Ever since Zilan Yin had joined the battle, killing Xu Mu was no longer his primary objective.
He had to eliminate this potential threat first!
Crack!
He once again transformed into a streak of lightning and shot toward Zilan Yin.
Xu Mu unleashed Final Spark again, once more releasing one-tenth of his qi.
Pfft!
The qi throughout his body erupted like sprays of blood.
His speed instantly matched Zidian’s, leaving a scarlet trail through the air.
Xu Mu slashed at Zidian with his sword.
Zidian raised his hand as well, and a long saber appeared in his grasp.
Bang!
Their weapons collided again, and the scattered force sent Zilan Yin flying once more.
Zilan Yin rolled across the ground several times before finally coming to a stop. She gasped heavily as blood continued to spill from her mouth.
She stared at Xu Mu in the distance, disappointment filling her eyes. Tears streamed down her face despite herself.
She had always believed herself to be a genius, but now she could not even withstand the shockwaves generated by the battle between Xu Mu and Zidian.
“What are you standing there for? Run!” Xu Mu shouted from afar.
Zilan Yin gave a bitter smile. “Do you think Zidian will show mercy just because I’m a woman? Once he decides to kill someone, he gives it everything he has. I don’t even have the strength to stand anymore.”
Although she had already accepted her death, she still found herself developing strong feelings for Xu Mu.
At this critical moment between life and death, Xu Mu had already saved her several times. He could have simply ignored her.
[Affinity +50]
Whoosh!
Zidian transformed into lightning once again and charged toward Zilan Yin to kill her.
Zilan Yin closed her eyes and whispered, “Xu Mu, I’m sorry. This time, I truly mean it.”
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

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.

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.
