Immortal Emperor Cangwu's longsword thrust straight into the root of the Alien Beast King's left forelimb, the place where its defenses were weakest.
The Alien Beast King let out a low, guttural roar that caused the entire void to tremble slightly.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu did not give it a chance to catch its breath, continuously launching follow-up strikes in an attempt to seize the opportunity and slay his opponent.
Gu Changyuan watched all of this, thinking that it was just about time for it to end.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu had severely wounded the Alien Beast King. The three Immortal Emperor-level alien beasts were all at a disadvantage, and the alien beast army was routing. The scales of victory in this great war had completely tilted toward the human cultivators.
Even if they could not slaughter every last alien beast, driving them back into the depths of the void and resealing this rift should not be a problem.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu stepped forward, raising his longsword, its tip aimed right at the Alien Beast King's head.
As long as this sword fell, this bitter battle that had lasted for an unknown amount of time would finally be brought to a close.
The sword fell.
The Alien Beast King's life aura was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu stood amidst the bloody mist, his robes soaked, yet he did not take a single step back.
At this moment, the rout of the alien beast army became completely irreversible.
But just as everyone thought the dust was about to settle, the situation took a sudden and drastic turn for the worse.
A low, mocking sneer abruptly rang out.
The sound was not loud, yet it completely drowned out all the roars, explosions, and wails on the battlefield, clearly reaching the ears of every cultivator and every alien beast.
Gu Changyuan looked toward the source of the sound, only to see that the Alien Beast King, despite being severely wounded by Immortal Emperor Cangwu, had not fallen. Amidst that laughter, its massive body slowly straightened up.
And behind it, in the deepest part of the void that was darker than darkness itself, an eye opened.
It had no eyelids, no pupils, and no irises. It was merely a pure "hole" condensed from nothingness, like an Eye of the Abyss spanning across the void.
It appeared without any warning, as if it had always been there, only choosing to "open" at this very moment.
The instant the eye opened, the temperature of the entire void plummeted to the freezing point.
It was not because of the cold, but because everything that was "alive" felt a certain primal fear at this moment.
Immediately after, a powerful devouring force surged out from that abyssal eye.
This was not the low-level devouring of spiritual energy that the Alien Beast King had previously displayed, but a higher-dimensional erasure.
Spiritual energy, immortal energy, life force, divine souls, and consciousness—everything that constituted "existence" began to disintegrate in the face of that suction.
Gu Changyuan reacted the fastest. The moment the devouring force spread, his hands formed hand seals, deploying a spatial lockdown secret art around them.
An invisible spatial barrier enveloped him and Jun Anshi. However, that devouring force was far too tyrannical and overbearing; the spatial barrier shattered after merely three breaths of time.
The powerful suction struck again, firmly wrapping around him and Jun Anshi, dragging them toward that giant eye.
Gu Changyuan simply could not utilize a killing move like the Nine Tribulations Sword Array, leaving him with no choice but to passively endure it.
However, he did not panic. This was, after all, just a dream world created by Immortal Emperor Cangwu.
Their deaths here would not result in true death; at most, they would just break away from the dream and conclude this inheritance trial.
Gu Changyuan looked at that giant eye, looked at the Alien Beast King slowly standing back up, and looked at the human cultivators and alien beasts being continuously sucked into the giant eye to be converted into energy for the Alien Beast King's recovery. He finally understood Immortal Emperor Cangwu's intention in bringing the two of them, "low-level" cultivators, here.
Immortal Emperor Cangwu was not telling them: "Look at how beautifully I once won."
Immortal Emperor Cangwu was telling them: "Look at how thoroughly I once lost."
Just as Gu Changyuan and Jun Anshi were being dragged toward the giant eye by the devouring force, a massive figure rushed out from the void to the side.
It was an Immortal Venerable-level alien beast. Under the influence of the devouring force, it was similarly unable to control its own body, being pulled, spun, tumbled, and drifted by the suction.
It might have wanted to grab onto something to stabilize its posture, or perhaps it simply wanted to drag someone down with it before dying.
Its sharp claws flailed wildly in the void, coincidentally aiming right in Jun Anshi's direction.
Seeing this, Gu Changyuan did not hesitate for a moment. He instantly rushed in front of Jun Anshi, wanting to block the opponent's attack.
But the powerful devouring force surrounding them hindered the circulation of his spiritual energy.
His black blade shattered, and those razor-sharp claws struck Gu Changyuan's chest without any resistance. Three bone-deep claw marks instantly appeared.
In truth, the instant those sharp claws struck him, Gu Changyuan felt his consciousness beginning to detach from this dream world. He did not truly feel the pain on his body.
But that was not what Jun Anshi saw.
Jun Anshi watched helplessly as that black figure rushed in front of her.
At that moment, her mind went completely blank. She lost the ability to think, the ability to react, the ability to do anything.
The alien beast's sharp claws fell, piercing through his body, piercing through the figure she had been familiar with for a hundred and ten years.
Blood gushed from the wound, splashing onto her face, sliding down her cheeks, and dripping onto the back of the hand that tightly gripped her spear.
That figure collapsed in front of her.
Jun Anshi let out a roar, heart-wrenching and exhausted.
"No—!"
The moment that roar fell, in the void behind Jun Anshi, four-colored lights of purple-gold, emerald green, silvery-white, and deep blue lit up simultaneously.
Four Great Daos condensed into four massive pillars of light behind her. The pillars pierced the heavens and the earth, intertwining, rotating, and fusing within the void.
In a mere fleeting moment, the four Great Daos merged into one, transforming into a single Dao that was entirely lustrous and shimmering with a purple-gold radiance.
Upon this Great Dao, emerald green parasol tree patterns were clearly visible, containing the boundless power of Cangwu.
Jun Anshi slowly raised her head, her eyes carrying bone-chilling coldness and killing intent as her gaze locked dead onto that Immortal Venerable realm alien beast.
At this moment, that alien beast had already been firmly bound by the giant eye behind the Alien Beast King. Unable to move, it could only converge toward the giant eye at the same speed as Jun Anshi.
"You deserve to die."
Jun Anshi's voice was piercingly cold, devoid of the slightest emotion.
Before her voice even faded, her figure flashed. The power of the Cangwu Dao behind her surged wildly, transforming into a massive parasol tree spear. The spear tip shimmered with intense Dao light, carrying world-destroying power as it viciously thrust toward that alien beast.
The spear tip pierced through one side of the Immortal Venerable alien beast and exited the other. Immediately after, countless spikes erupted from the spear shaft, frantically wreaking havoc within the alien beast's body.
It forced that alien beast to experience endless agony even in the final moments of its life.
And then, Jun Anshi's consciousness also began to peel away.

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.
