"Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, Dawnbreaker Slash!"
Di Haoran struck without hesitation, unleashing a devastating sword beam straight toward the Beast Lord's direction. His intent was clear—to force the Beast Lord out and settle the battle once and for all.
Yet, it was not the Beast Lord who responded.
Instead, the Lion Heart King stepped forward. "Lion's Roar!"
A tremendous sonic wave erupted, dispersing Di Haoran's slash. The Lion Heart King's body radiated a golden brilliance as he surged forward, charging straight at Di Haoran.
The two clashed, their battle igniting the battlefield.
With Di Haoran's attack, the other Great Ascension cultivators also joined the fray. They believed the Beast Lord would eventually intervene.
By now, the battle had raged for an entire day, and with Jiang Ningshu's arrival, any further probing was unnecessary.
The demon beast elites rushed into combat, but they were vastly outnumbered in terms of Great Ascension experts, suffering heavy losses almost instantly.
One could say the turning point was all because of Jiang Ningshu.
Her appearance escalated the conflict to new heights.
The world trembled—mountains split, the earth cracked, and violent clashes erupted everywhere. The demon beast army was instantly overwhelmed.
Jiang Ningshu was undoubtedly the most formidable presence on the battlefield. A single swing of her sword slaughtered countless demon beasts.
She advanced relentlessly toward the Beast Lord, cutting down any beast in her path.
If the Beast Lord refused to face her? Then she would slaughter his entire army.
At that moment, Nangong Xiyun appeared beside her. "Where's Su Luo?"
"Can't you look for him yourself? We're in the middle of a battle."
"I was just asking." Nangong Xiyun had merely wanted to check in—it had been a while since she last saw him.
"Don’t tell me you can’t handle this thing, so you brought him along?" Jiang Ningshu pointed at the demon beast before them.
The Leopard Speed King had followed closely, his eyes wary as he observed Jiang Ningshu. The moment she pointed at him, his instincts screamed danger, and he instinctively retreated.
Nangong Xiyun was incensed—this was outright mockery.
"Don’t joke around. I’ll finish him off in no time."
Refusing to be belittled, Nangong Xiyun resumed her battle against the Leopard Speed King.
Jiang Ningshu pressed forward. Her target was singular—none of the others were worthy opponents.
The already struggling demon beast army now faced utter devastation.
The Grand Priest ceased his mental manipulations, pondering how to salvage the situation.
He hadn’t anticipated Jiang Ningshu’s arrival at this critical moment.
Against her, even he was powerless.
Then, the Beast Lord appeared.
"Beast Lord..." the Grand Priest murmured.
"I know. Leave her to me."
The Beast Lord had nearly fully recovered. Against an opponent like Jiang Ningshu, only he stood a chance.
If the Grand Priest faced her, he could only buy time—victory was impossible.
Seeing the Beast Lord, the Grand Priest felt a wave of relief.
Yes, with him here, they would not lose.
The Beast Lord soared through the air, landing before Jiang Ningshu.
The moment their auras clashed, an explosive shockwave erupted, sending nearby demon beasts flying before they could react.
The Beast Lord’s expression was solemn. "Demon Lord Jiang Ningshu."
He had heard of her reputation, and now, witnessing her power firsthand, he understood why.
But his confidence in himself was unshaken—he believed he would not lose.
"I am no longer the Demon Lord." Jiang Ningshu raised the Heavenly Demon Sword high.
The already chaotic surroundings grew even more turbulent.
An overwhelming surge of demonic energy erupted from her body, like a raging black tide.
The heavens darkened—winds howled, thunder roared, and the sky churned with storm clouds.
The Heavenly Demon Sword pulsed with terrifying energy, as if a demon god had descended upon the world.
The sword was an ancient relic of the Heavenly Demon Sect, its might beyond question.
But now, Jiang Ningshu’s own strength was equally formidable.
The Beast Lord’s expression shifted. Starting with full power right away?
Jiang Ningshu’s stance made it clear—she was preparing a devastating strike.
Wasn’t it customary to test the waters first?
If this was how she fought, so be it.
The Beast Lord remained silent, but his body suddenly expanded, muscles bulging as eerie, living patterns crawled across his skin.
These markings pulsed with sinister energy, as if woven from ancient curses and forbidden power.
They twisted and coiled like a grotesque tapestry of darkness.
"Heavenly Demon Blood Moon!" Jiang Ningshu swung her sword down.
"Demon God Sky Shatter!" The Beast Lord countered with a mighty punch.
Sword and fist collided.
For a brief moment, the world fell silent—then erupted once more.
The force of their clash surpassed every other battle on the battlefield.
Opening with ultimate techniques—was this how Transcendents fought?
The human cultivators wisely kept their distance. Getting caught in that storm would be fatal.
Fortunately, Jiang Ningshu had engaged the Beast Lord deep within the demon beast ranks. Had they fought near the North Heavenly Gate, the aftermath alone would have reduced it to rubble.
After the exchange, Jiang Ningshu and the Beast Lord vanished.
Not literally—they were still fighting, but their speed was beyond mortal perception.
Jiang Ningshu fought without restraint, holding nothing back.
She unleashed her demonic energy recklessly, as if she had an endless supply.
The Beast Lord was baffled. Wasn’t she supposed to be human? Why was she more savage than a demon beast?
No probing, no caution—just pure, unrelenting force.
Didn’t she fear losing?
As the pinnacle fighters of their respective races, the death of either would have catastrophic consequences.
Shouldn’t she be more cautious?
Unless… she was certain of victory?
The thought enraged the Beast Lord. Did she look down on him?
Fine. If she wanted brutality, he would match her.
In a contest of savagery, he would not lose.
Jiang Ningshu, however, wasn’t overthinking it.
With Su Luo as her safety net, she fought without hesitation.
Win or lose—it didn’t matter. She had no psychological burden.
The other Great Ascension experts wanted to assist her, but the sheer ferocity of the battle kept them at bay.
They feared being caught in the crossfire.
They would have to wait until Jiang Ningshu and the Beast Lord exhausted themselves before joining.
Jiang Ningshu disengaged, preparing another ultimate technique.
The Beast Lord didn’t interrupt—instead, he gathered his own power.
In raw strength, he refused to be outmatched by a human.
Jiang Ningshu could have fought with finesse, but overwhelming force was her preference.
Even if she couldn’t overpower the Beast Lord, she would still clash head-on.
With Su Luo backing her, she abandoned all caution.
"Heavenly Demon’s Judgment!"
The Beast Lord roared. "Demon God’s Axe!"
This time, Jiang Ningshu gained the slightest edge.
The Beast Lord refused to accept it, gathering power once more.
But Jiang Ningshu was already preparing her next strike before the last had even ended—faster than the Beast Lord could react.
Staring at her, the Beast Lord was at a loss for words.
Just what kind of human was this? She was even more reckless than him!
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
