Nose crushed, lips smashed, and both eyes swollen shut, Yang could barely see anything. His skull was cracked in multiple places, with blood spraying from several deep wounds on his head.*He’s more of a monster than I am. Hahaha.* Yang thought inwardly as darkness swallowed him whole. *So this is what death feels like… warm and peaceful.* A faint smile formed on his broken lips. *A monster has been born into this world. I hope you all realize it before it’s too late.*Chris kept laughing menacingly, repeatedly slamming his head into Yang’s face. Yang’s blood soaked Chris’s face, neck, and part of his robe.The sun slowly descended as evening arrived. Chris held the lifeless body of Yang firmly in his right hand, their feet still impossibly high above the earth.The Naija youth stared at the red setting sun, the cool evening breeze brushing through his robe and against his skin. Without warning, he released Yang’s body. It plummeted toward the ground like a dying comet.*First one is

"Display the information, system." Chris ordered, his voice firm.The Naija youth’s eyes were glued to the screen. His right hand rested on the arm of the couch while his left hand lay on his lap.[Mo-hi — The Only Grandchild Of The Grand Elder Of The Lion Clan Sect] [Realm: Core Formation - Early Stage] [Age: 62]"Sixty-two fucking years!" Chris’s voice shook the room. "This dude looks almost my age. System, are you sure about his age?" [Yes.] [The Life Span Of The Cultivation World Is Different From Your Previous World.]"Ahhhh. I almost forgot about that." The Naija youth scratched the back of his neck. *So this dude is even older than my pops. Funny.* "System, how long do I currently have to live in this world? Or rather, what’s my current lifespan?" [Host Current Lifespan Is Two Thousand Years (2000).]"Two… two thousand years. Two thousand freaking years!" Chris’s voice boomed like a speaker. He chuckled weakly. "What will I be doing for two thousand years?" He le

THE FOURTH CONTINENT."Nothing, but we have to break out soon." Mia answered, dodging an iron ape's massive fist. "We have to break out now if we wish to survive and not become beast food." Mia's voice rose as she slid under the ape's leg. With a roar, she sliced its privates apart in one swing.The beast let out a low growl as it hit the ground."This is annoying!" Lira's voice was furious. She hurled her spear into the chest of the approaching three-headed lion. The lion unleashed a powerful roar, its eyes rolling back as it dropped to the ground with a loud *thud*!Bam!On the other side, Lumiho sent a black panther flying into the ancient building ahead with a devastating right kick to its head.Lira raised her voice, grunting as she parried a void snake's tail slash. "This place was supposed to be safe from beasts. We scouted it very well—so how did we end up in this mess?""Just like you, Lira, we have no idea how this all happened," Lumiho answered.Boom!He unleashed a massive

THE THIRD TRIAL CONTINENT."You have to be fucking kidding me, Yan-li!" Bai-li's voice rang out like a speaker in the quiet night.The two brothers had camped at the center of the dense forest."Shhhh!" Yan-li gestured sharply, glaring at him."Don't hush me, Yan-li. How could you forget our food?" Bai-li stared hard as he prepared his sleeping mat."I don't know, brother." Yan-li sat by the fireplace they had set up earlier, his eyes staring deep into the flames."You had one important job, Yan-li, and you forgot it." Bai-li sighed."Let's just sleep, brother. When morning comes, we'll go hunting for food." Yan-li grunted, pushing himself to his feet. His footsteps receded toward his tent."Fine." Bai-li shook his head in annoyance. "But you're doing the cooking and the luring." A mischievous smile escaped his lips.Yan-li gasped, pausing mid-step. His eyes snapped toward Bai-li. "Oh hell no, Bai-li. I refuse to become fucking bait!"Bai-li chuckled. "Brother, you forgot the food, so

*They’re all too weak. It’s disgusting.* On their current level of strength, the twelve flame guardians would be their end. They would be devoured like helpless children.Sung’s fist tightened behind his back.*But with the boosting pills, they may yet stand a chance against those guardians. And anyone who survives the trial but fails to control the pill’s influence—I will personally end their life.*Sung’s eyes rose to the rising sun.Just then, footsteps approached from behind. Sung glanced over his shoulder.“What do you want, Woo?” he glared.Woo approached with a soft smile. “Nothing, Elder Sung,” he said, his voice low. He lowered his head in respect.“I just came to watch the beautiful sunrise with you over the void, that’s all.” Woo raised his head and stepped closer to the edge of the peak.Sung sighed weakly as he watched Woo draw nearer.“Moyi came to me requesting the boosting pills,” Woo continued. “He mentioned that you requested them for the challengers.” He glanced onc
