"Everyone, cover me!" Lin Xuan shouted.
He knew that breaking through alone was impossible—now wasn’t the time for stubbornness. Victory was all that mattered.
"We’ve got you. You won’t lose a single hair."
"Charge ahead. We’ll clear the path for you."
"Heavenly Demon Sect, you’re in the way. Die."
People quickly gathered around Lin Xuan.
They trusted him, willing to shield him at all costs.
Like a hot knife through butter.
In no time, the first core was shattered.
Without pause, they advanced toward the second.
The Heavenly Demon Sect hadn’t expected their formation cores to be exposed so soon. They had no choice but to reinforce the defenses of the remaining ones.
This slowed Lin Xuan’s momentum—but only slightly.
With Lin Xuan leading the charge, breaking through was only a matter of time.
He had already begun exerting his full strength, aiming to crush the cores in one relentless push. In this state, Lin Xuan was virtually invincible among those of his level.
......
The battle raged on.
The three Demon Lords held their ground, each locked in combat with their opponents.
For now, neither side could gain the upper hand—though the Demon Lords held a slight edge, their overall strength surpassing their foes.
The Right Enforcer returned, only to find the Left Enforcer still idle.
"Still not done?"
"No, it’s taking longer than expected. Hold out a little longer."
"Fine."
The Right Enforcer was growing impatient but chose to trust his counterpart.
How could he not resent it? While everyone else fought desperately, the Left Enforcer lounged without a care.
Su Luo watched him leave, utterly unfazed.
A glance at the rest of the Heavenly Demon Sect confirmed their dire situation—just as intended.
This was exactly the effect she wanted.
Her eyes flicked to Lin Xuan. Good. The destruction of the formation cores was proceeding smoothly.
Everything was going according to plan.
Su Luo wasn’t opposed to ending things quickly—but the Heavenly Demon Sect needed to bleed a little more first.
Yes, if the sect didn’t suffer further losses, this battle would be meaningless.
Meanwhile, Nangong Xiyun continued stalling Liu Zhixian.
Just a little longer, and it would all be over.
Then, a titled Heavenly Demon sensed something amiss and approached the Left Enforcer.
"Demon Sovereign, please intervene," he urged.
The Left Enforcer didn’t even turn his head. "Are you giving me orders?"
"No, it’s just—"
"Relax. Everything is under control. I’m preparing a finishing move. Buy me more time."
Hearing this, the titled Heavenly Demon eased slightly. "Understood. We’ll do our best."
He left—other fronts needed him.
Liu Zhixian, who had been observing the Left Enforcer, overheard the exchange.
"Demon Sovereign?" Liu Zhixian frowned. "Why call you that?"
The Left Enforcer smirked. "Apologies. As of today, I am the new Demon Sovereign."
"Congratulations. And the previous one?"
"If you hadn’t come, she’d already be dead. No matter. After killing you, I’ll finish her off."
Liu Zhixian’s spirits lifted. Though the details were unclear, the old Demon Sovereign was clearly in trouble.
That was enough.
"Again!"
Liu Zhixian renewed his assault, fighting with newfound confidence and holding nothing back.
Perhaps this truly was the perfect opportunity to wipe out the Heavenly Demon Sect.
But his fervor was quickly doused—the Eastern Demon Lord was no pushover.
"Demon Sovereign, you’ve worked hard. Let me wipe your sweat." Jiang Ningshu dabbed at Su Luo’s brow—though there wasn’t a drop of sweat to be found.
"Being called that by you feels strange."
"You used to address me the same way. Now it’s my turn, isn’t it, Demon Sovereign?"
"Fine. I’ll allow it. Call me whatever you like."
As the two bantered, Nangong Xiyun grew irritated.
"I’m still fighting here, and you’re fooling around?"
"Switch with me."
"No." Jiang Ningshu wasn’t one for battle.
"Tch. Then go back. I can handle this alone."
"I don’t take orders from you."
While they argued, Liu Zhixian felt utterly ignored.
Seizing the moment, he began gathering energy for his ultimate technique.
"Supreme Heavenly Flash!"
He wouldn’t waste such a perfect opening.
But his move was nothing short of suicidal.
Nangong Xiyun and Jiang Ningshu struck simultaneously.
His "Supreme Heavenly Flash" crumbled instantly.
Worse, their counterattacks sent Liu Zhixian flying.
He never imagined such a humiliating defeat.
Once again, doubt crept in—if the Heavenly Demon Sect’s leaders survived, the sect would inevitably rise again.
For now, he could only hope reinforcements arrived after dealing with their own opponents.
Best to wait and watch.
Liu Zhixian dared not act recklessly anymore.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan shattered the third formation core, finally dismantling the sect’s protective barrier.
The tide of battle turned.
"You can’t stop us now!"
Lin Xuan surged forward, launching a fierce counterattack.
Without their formation, the Heavenly Demon Sect’s advantage vanished.
Though wounded, Lin Xuan fought like a demon himself, taking on ten enemies at once.
Even Liu Zhixian noticed him.
Watching Lin Xuan, he saw a reflection of his younger self—no, someone even greater.
Had he grown so timid with age?
Liu Zhixian admitted his mindset had weakened. The older he got, the more cautious he became.
"Maybe it’s time to remember what youth felt like."
He glared at the Left Enforcer and his companions, then stepped forward.
"Victory will be ours!"
Yet no matter how fiercely he attacked, he couldn’t land a single hit on the Left Enforcer.
Pausing to regroup, he realized—they truly were preparing something terrifying.
Jiang Ningshu taunted, "Aren’t you going to fight?"
Nangong Xiyun shot back, "Why don’t you?"
"I’m not strong enough."
"Since when do you play weak?"
"Today, I’m just a nobody."
......
After another failed assault, Liu Zhixian gritted his teeth.
Some battles couldn’t be won by passion alone.
Then, several Void Refinement and Nascent Soul experts arrived at his side.
"You need help. We’re here."
"Don’t worry. The others can hold their own. We’ve already dealt with some troublesome titled Heavenly Demons."
"The situation’s improving. The Heavenly Demon Sect really has weakened."
In the past, storming their stronghold would’ve been unthinkable.
Liu Zhixian nodded, relieved. "Focus on the Left Enforcer. He’s preparing a deadly technique—interrupt him."
With reinforcements, even Nangong Xiyun and Jiang Ningshu felt slight pressure—though only a fraction.
Jiang Ningshu still held back to avoid exposing her identity.
The Left Enforcer surveyed the battlefield. The Heavenly Demon Sect’s casualties mounted.
It was time.
He moved at last, drawing every eye in the vicinity.
With calm finality, he spoke:
"Let’s end this."

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.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
