"Why hasn't Brother Chen come back yet?"
Emperor Capital frowned, pacing anxiously on the city walls, thinking of the words Chen Xia had left for him before departing. He dared not wander off and could only ask the passing saints.
"Has Brother Chen returned?"
The saints all shook their heads in response, "We haven't seen Saint Chen, Emperor Capital, how about a game of chess instead?"
Get lost, who wants to play chess with you? You start by taking my horses and then surrender immediately. You can't beat me anyway, you're just after my horses! Emperor Capital waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing them away.
"Haha, that's just how Saint Chen likes it." The saints laughed, enjoying the sight of Emperor Capital's annoyed expression, creating a lively atmosphere around the city walls.
In the Emperor Council.
There were still seven great emperors on the left front line, excluding the recently expelled Flowing Water Temple Master, leaving six.
Emperor Tianhe sat on the left, frowning and asking,
"Are there really remnants of darkness in those shattered star domains?"
The elder at the head of the table slightly raised an eyebrow, his long white eyebrows trembling, and tapped his dragon-headed staff lightly on the ground as he spoke.
"I used my great divine power to investigate and indeed found traces, but I am also defending against the Heavenly Dao and am unable to split my attention. Hence, I had to send Chen Xia, who is among the strongest, to investigate first. If anything is amiss, you will all go together to surround and kill them."
"Good," Emperor Tianhe nodded, then turned to ask, "Why has the recruitment by Tian Sen the Great Emperor been so inefficient lately?"
"No one wants to come, that's why," Tian Sen the Great Emperor shrugged helplessly, adding,
"Only a few saints with courage and ambition come to the front line. The rest are old foxes who don't care about the demise of star domains and just want to hide and live a few more years. Unless we capture them one by one and set life-and-death seals on them, these saints are useless even if we force them here."
After speaking, two small flowers sprouted on his shoulders, and he began to play with them.
The elder's eyes flickered again, his long eyebrows twitching once more, and he nodded,
Then capture them all. Even executing them directly on the front line would be fine. It can at least slow down the speed of the Heavenly Dao's descent. The more they try to escape the Heavenly Dao's reckoning, the more I want them to die!
The elder's words were awe-inspiring and unmatched, and the eyes of his dragon-headed staff shone with profound light, his aura not inferior to that of a great emperor.
This was the strongest emperor stationed on the left front line, with a cultivation level of four great emperors. It was rumored that he had killed the most emperors in the entire Great Heaven, hence he was also known as the Executioner Emperor.
His emperor title was simply called the Executioner!
The emperors were in discussion when they suddenly turned their heads together, sensing a powerful pressure from a distance, an emperor's aura!
"Chen Xia!" Emperor Tianhe instantly reacted, disappearing from his spot and rushing towards the source of the pressure.
The other emperors followed suit, leaving only the Executioner Emperor to guard the front line.
On the city walls, Emperor Capital excitedly stood up, kicking over the chessboard that the saints were playing with, and flew towards the source of the pressure without hesitation, shouting,
"Brother Chen, wait for me!"
The two saints beside him looked at the overturned chessboard and scattered pieces, completely confused.
Why did you kick our chessboard when you left?
In the void.
Emperor Tianhe was the first to arrive, blocking the emperor's aura and residual sword light that swept towards him, then frowned at the sight before him.
There were no shattered star domains here, but there were some remaining starlight and faint star domain auras, as if they had existed not long ago.
Looking further ahead, there was a storm of emperor's aura and sword light mixed together, making it difficult to see the scene inside.
Emperor Tianhe paused for a moment, and then Tian Sen the Great Emperor and several others arrived, asking curiously,
"Just got here, what's the situation?"
"A very intense battle?" Emperor Tianhe replied.
"I can see that for myself, do I need you to tell me?" The elder with eyebrows like a galaxy frowned.
Tian Sen the Great Emperor touched the flowers on his shoulder and suggested, "Why don't we go in and take a look?"
"Let's go!" Emperor Tianhe nodded directly.
They were indeed not afraid of these, walking straight into the storm of emperor's aura and sword light, suppressing these forces as they went.
Not far ahead, they could see a faint figure standing quietly.
"Chen Xia?" Emperor Tianhe asked doubtfully.
"He's holding a sword, so it probably is." Tian Sen the Great Emperor agreed.
"Not necessarily, maybe his flying sword was taken away. After all, no one can predict the outcome of this ambush." The elder replied.
Tian Sen and Tianhe, the two great emperors, turned their heads together, frowning at the elder,
"If you can't say anything good, then don't say anything."
The few emperors fell silent and moved towards the center, getting closer to the figure.
Blood.
They sensed a strong blood pulse, a sign that an emperor had fallen, indicating that an emperor had perished here not long ago.
They became more vigilant, moving forward and waving away the surrounding sword lights, getting closer to the figure holding the sword in the center.
Their figures suddenly paused when they saw a head, a head entangled with dark energy, its neck bleeding, its eyes unclosed, an emperor's head.
This head was held by a hand, and looking up, they saw Chen Xia's calm face.
"Are you on a group outing?"
Chen Xia casually asked, shaking his right hand and flicking his sword, scattering the emperor's blood, which then returned to his Heart Lake, leading three million flying swords.
"Have you already slain the emperor?" Emperor Tianhe frowned.
"What kind of speed is this, it feels like you've become even stronger?" Tian Sen the Great Emperor also expressed his confusion.
"Huh, I recognize this emperor you're holding, a pure dog of the Heavenly Dao, well done for killing him!" The elder exclaimed.
"Briefly explain the situation." Emperor Tianhe said again.
"Nothing much to say, two emperor remnants set up an ambush to kill me, and I killed one of them." Chen Xia casually said, shaking off the emperor's blood from his hand, and added with some regret,
"Actually, I could have killed both, but I didn't take them seriously at first, and they reacted and fled separately. There's a saying, 'the slowest one is the vanguard,' so I caught and killed the slow one."
He spoke very casually, as if he had just cleared a small group of monsters in the wild.
"Hmm?" Emperor Tianhe suddenly frowned, curious again,
"There should be a remnant star domain here, why is it also gone?"
"It was completely obliterated in my battle with the emperor."
Chen Xia turned around, casually replying.
His words were very light.
Light enough to make it hard to discern the truth.
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?!
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.
