Su Luo opened the diary.
[Currently, the beast hordes of the north are stirring, preparing for another southern invasion.]
[However, just as they plan to act, an event will occur that forces them to retreat.]
[Soon, a major revelation will spread across the cultivation world—the Heavenly Secrets Elder has divined the location of a secret realm containing an immortal’s legacy.]
[It lies within the Barren Wilds.]
[The Heavenly Secrets Elder shared this knowledge in hopes that someone would claim the inheritance, unwilling to let such a rare opportunity slip away.]
[Once the immortal’s legacy realm closes, no one knows when it will reappear.]
[But what is the Barren Wilds? It is nothing short of a forbidden land for humankind.]
[Yet there will always be those unafraid of death.]
[And the major sects will not let this chance pass them by.]
[To ensure safety, the sects unite once more, assembling a convoy to escort a select group into the secret realm.]
[A gathering of powerhouses ensues—venturing into the Barren Wilds is no trivial matter. Even Void Refinement experts are present, with several Mahayana cultivators serving as escorts. It is nothing less than a high-stakes gamble.]
[Upon entering the Barren Wilds, Lin Xuan proves his worth once again. Having ventured here before, his experience allows the group to avoid countless dangers, advancing with uncanny ease.]
[For these cultivators, ordinary beast hordes pose little threat—the real danger lies in drawing their attention. Otherwise, disaster is inevitable.]
[At the very least, they should secure the immortal’s legacy before considering whether to openly slaughter the beast hordes.]
[Thus, Lin Xuan’s role becomes indispensable.]
[......]
[Inside the immortal’s legacy realm, Lin Xuan leads the group to claim numerous treasures, though the inheritance itself remains elusive.]
[As first-time visitors, none are familiar with the realm, and the dangers they face grow ever more severe.]
[Yet Lin Xuan always finds a way, steadily earning the admiration of the gathered prodigies.]
[In the end, Lin Xuan is teleported alone. After overcoming a series of trials, he finally obtains the immortal’s legacy.]
[With the inheritance confirmed, the others are ejected from the realm ahead of him.]
[The moment they emerge, their world seems to collapse.]
[The Beast Lord has arrived with his hordes, surrounding the area and launching a fierce assault.]
[This marks the Beast Lord’s first appearance in battle.]
[Awakened with the bloodline of a demon god, his power is overwhelming. He fights evenly against three human Mahayana experts—one of whom is Nangong Xiyun—without showing the slightest weakness.]
[Though the humans rejoice at securing the immortal’s legacy, survival remains uncertain.]
[The prodigies who exited the realm immediately join the fray.]
[But this is the territory of the beast hordes. More and more powerful beasts encircle them. Despite desperate resistance, casualties mount, and eventually, one Mahayana expert falls.]
[If this group perishes here, humanity’s future will be plunged into darkness.]
[The outcome is dire—the Mahayana experts are grievously wounded, with only Nangong Xiyun still capable of holding her own against the Beast Lord, a testament to her strength.]
[The remaining humans, battered and broken, cling to life by a thread.]
[Faced with an endless tide of beasts, despair takes hold.]
[Just as all hope seems lost, Lin Xuan appears—a dramatic entrance, his aura now bearing traces of an immortal’s grace.]
[Though his current strength is no match for the Beast Lord, he wields a treasure obtained from the legacy realm: a single strike of an immortal’s might.]
[As the name suggests, it unleashes the full force of an immortal’s attack.]
[However, the treasure’s power has waned over time, its energy leaking away. Still, it is more than enough to repel the Beast Lord and his hordes.]
[With one strike, the beasts—led by the Beast Lord—are forced to unite in defense.]
[The impact leaves not only the Beast Lord but the entire horde severely wounded.]
[Seizing this opportunity, Lin Xuan leads the surviving humans to escape.]
[This time, though sacrifices were made, humanity gained something invaluable—the immortal’s legacy.]
[Yet the Beast Lord’s terrifying strength leaves them deeply unsettled.]
[As for me, I too have a reason to venture north—to refine the beast hordes in the Barren Wilds, furthering my own Demon God’s legacy.]
[With their vast numbers, I can operate discreetly on the outskirts, targeting weaker beasts to avoid detection.]
[If I attempted this in the cultivation world, no matter where, Su Luo would be hunted down within three days. The sheer quantity required would draw immediate attention.]
[Humanity’s investigative prowess far surpasses that of the beast hordes.]
[By coincidence, Lin Xuan’s fleeing group stumbles upon me as I refine the beasts.]
[By now, I have grown far stronger, having mastered much of the Demon God’s legacy. Meanwhile, Lin Xuan’s group is exhausted, burdened with wounded, and relentlessly pursued by the hordes.]
[Enemies meeting under such circumstances? Blood will boil.]
[And with the chance to kick them while they’re down? How could I resist?]
[Lin Xuan tries to appeal to me with talk of humanity’s survival, of setting aside grudges to escape the Beast Lord’s wrath together...]
[But I cut him off with a blunt “None of my business,” then attack.]
[I revel in my dominance—despite being only at the Void Refinement stage, I crush them effortlessly. Even the Mahayana experts, weakened and depleted, fall before me.]
[They’ve expended their treasures, their energy drained to the last drop.]
[Drunk on triumph, I taunt them endlessly, savoring their despair, toying with them instead of delivering the final blow.]
[Once again, they face hopelessness. But this time—will anyone come to their rescue?]
[Of course. That someone is Jiang Ningshu.]
[Yes, you. Surely you haven’t forgotten—the final stage of your recovery requires an herb found only in the Barren Wilds.]
[Why have you delayed retrieving it until now? What were you thinking?]
[Back to the matter at hand—Jiang Ningshu’s arrival shocks everyone. Even now, her allegiance remains unclear.]
[At this point, though she has betrayed me multiple times, my clouded judgment still foolishly hopes to lure her back as the Heavenly Demon Sect’s sovereign.]
[Instead, Jiang Ningshu opposes me outright—her trauma from ruling the sect has left her unwilling to return.]
[......]
[And so, Jiang Ningshu saves the humans who ventured into the Barren Wilds, while I narrowly escape death at her hands.]

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. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!

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.

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
