The suppressed Beast Lord was utterly unwilling to accept defeat. Had his massive physique been for nothing? In terms of raw strength, no one should have been able to surpass him at this stage—not even a human cultivator of the same realm.
No longer holding back, the Beast Lord intensified his assault, his sole objective now being to defeat Jiang Ningshu.
As for what came after victory—that could wait.
"Demon God Bloodline!"
The tattoos on the Beast Lord's body glowed crimson as his power surged once more.
Jiang Ningshu, however, showed no fear and pressed forward with her attacks.
The two forces clashed again, triggering another massive explosion—followed by a chain of detonations.
Yet the tide of battle had shifted.
In sheer strength, the Beast Lord indeed held the upper hand.
The Grand Priest watched with concern. If the Beast Lord exhausted his energy like this, what would happen later?
No—the Beast Lord would prevail.
The Grand Priest had faith in him.
Despite being at a disadvantage, Jiang Ningshu showed no intention of altering her strategy. She continued unleashing one full-powered strike after another, determined to settle the battle in one decisive push—though this "push" might take a while.
At the Transcendence Realm, ending a battle swiftly was no easy feat.
As the Beast Lord went all out, the surrounding battlefield was affected, escalating the conflict. Skirmishes erupted everywhere as experts from both sides joined the fray, pushing the war toward full-scale carnage.
The Grand Priest was no exception. Abandoning his role as a strategist, he stepped onto the battlefield.
A staff in hand and two more floating behind him, he chanted, "Abyssal Tides!"
A dark, liquid-like substance surged forth, instantly forming towering waves that crashed toward the North Heavenly Gate—a sight more terrifying than a tsunami.
At the critical moment, four Mahayana-stage human cultivators stepped forward, raising their hands in unison to unleash overwhelming power, barely managing to block the onslaught.
The Grand Priest pressed his assault, forcing the four Mahayana experts to encircle him.
Originally, these warriors had been reserved for the Beast Lord, but now they were tied up against the Grand Priest.
"Super Reinforcement!"
"Heavenly Eye Beam!"
"Triple Execution!"
The Grand Priest unleashed a series of devastating techniques.
Yet within a few exchanges, he found himself overwhelmed—a single opponent was no match for four Mahayana cultivators.
He hastily summoned several powerful demon beasts to fight alongside him. Relying on his unorthodox spells, he barely managed to hold his ground.
With the full-scale battle erupting, the demon beast army's true hardships had only just begun.
What the Grand Priest hadn’t anticipated was just how dire the situation would become.
The root cause was Jiang Ningshu’s interference—she alone had pinned down the Beast Lord.
The Grand Priest could only hope the Beast Lord would swiftly defeat her; otherwise, their defeat was inevitable.
Yet wishful thinking was far from reality.
The demon beast army continued its assault on the North Heavenly Gate, but their casualties mounted rapidly.
With human experts flooding the battlefield, the demon beasts’ weaker ranks suffered brutal massacres, lacking enough elite warriors to counterbalance the slaughter.
Still, sheer numbers allowed the demon beast horde to pose a significant threat.
Their fearlessness in death made them formidable foes.
Elsewhere, Di Haoran clashed with the Lion Heart King.
"Demon-Slaying Sword Art—Tidal Surge Slash!" Di Haoran’s blade flashed, aiming straight for the Lion Heart King’s vitals.
The Lion Heart King gathered power into his fist and met the strike head-on.
The impact sent both combatants three steps back, the force behind them carving deep scars into the earth.
"The Demon-Slaying Sword Art… No matter how many times I see it, it never fails to impress," the Lion Heart King remarked.
"Flattery won’t earn you mercy from my blade."
"Hah! You can’t kill me. Besides, I’ve spent these years refining a… Human-Slaying Fist Technique."
"Then show me. This may be your last chance."
"No need for reminders—I intend to."
The Lion Heart King attacked again.
In truth, he had invented no such technique—his entire fighting style was already designed to slaughter humans.
But a little bluffing might regain some momentum.
Di Haoran, however, took the claim seriously—an understandable assumption.
He grew cautious, his movements measured.
"Tsk tsk, your sword hesitates. Are you that afraid?" the Lion Heart King taunted.
Di Haoran remained expressionless. "I merely wish to witness this Human-Slaying Fist Technique of yours."
"Look at that human Transcendence Realm cultivator, trading blows with our Beast Lord. Why won’t you match me head-on?"
"Every warrior has their own style."
"Then brace yourself—my Human-Slaying Fist Technique is coming!"
Yet after several exchanges, Di Haoran grew puzzled. The Lion Heart King’s techniques were no different from before.
"Where’s this ‘new’ fist technique?"
"Patience. By the time you see it, you’ll already be dead." The Lion Heart King maintained an air of confidence, as though his trump card was an unstoppable killing move.
Di Haoran remained wary.
Meanwhile…
Little Yu dueled General Chilin.
Their strengths were evenly matched, making it impossible to determine a victor.
Initially, General Chilin had underestimated Little Yu, but after their clash, he no longer dared to hold back—one careless move could cost him his life.
"Flame Scale Blossom!" General Chilin spread his wings, releasing a storm of fiery scales.
Little Yu dodged—but the general smirked.
His scales weren’t aimed at her.
They rained down on the humans behind her.
Evading meant leaving others to suffer.
General Chilin fought dirty, keeping his distance and bombarding her with scales to prevent her from closing in.
Little Yu stopped dodging. Instead, she swung her sword, shattering each scale mid-flight.
The battle remained deadlocked.
Elsewhere…
Nangong Xiyun faced the Leopard Speed King.
Pushed into a corner, the Leopard Speed King unleashed his full power first.
His speed skyrocketed.
Speed was his pride—his greatest weapon.
And indeed, he was fast. Nangong Xiyun struggled to keep up, suffering a few wounds.
Yet her icy composure never wavered. She remained calm, her gaze steady even as the Leopard Speed King pressed his advantage.
"Hah! Seems victory is mine. If you can’t match my speed, you’re nothing but prey."
The Leopard Speed King’s words were arrogant, but he didn’t underestimate Nangong Xiyun—he merely sought to pressure her.
Yet she ignored his taunts, maintaining her own rhythm.
The longer they fought, the more an inexplicable unease gnawed at the Leopard Speed King.
Meanwhile…
Li Siyi fought on, though she faced no elite opponents—only clearing out weaker demon beasts.
The horde simply lacked enough high-tier warriors to challenge her.
Still, even against fodder, complacency was dangerous.
Fortunately, Su Luo’s explosions covered her flanks, preventing ambushes, encirclements, or suicidal charges.
His blasts neutralized all threats.
As a result, the area around Li Siyi became the safest spot on the battlefield.
She could fight without restraint, even lending aid to allies in need.

I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

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.”
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.
