Feeling that there were no dangerous demonic beasts in the depths of the Demon Forest capable of threatening Luo Xiang, Luo Jin returned to the Luo Clan. On the other hand, Luo Xiang knew his grandfather had been observing him from afar. This was why he deliberately showcased his sword techniques—to assure his grandfather he could survive on his own.

After his grandfather departed, a mysterious smile formed on Luo Xiang’s lips. Whatever he was thinking, one thing was certain: he was about to execute a wild plan.

Collecting the spilled blood of demonic beasts, Luo Xiang began slicing a few Suri Leaves growing nearby to carry out his scheme. He concocted a bizarre mixture using the blood and leaves—what could only be described as a bloody herbal "rujak"—and spread it around. Moments later, the ground began to tremble.

Instead of feeling fear, Luo Xiang grinned as the heavy thuds of approaching beasts drew nearer.

“Hehehe... the hunt begins!”

As if summoned by his bait, dozens of Tier-1 demonic beasts surrounded Luo Xiang.

“Hahahaha! Come at me all you want!”

Sharpening his survival instincts, Luo Xiang readied his sword as one of the beasts lunged forward. What these creatures didn’t realize was that their prey had once been a feared God.

Swuuuush! Slaaaash!

Dodging the first attack, Luo Xiang slashed through one beast cleanly, splitting it in half with a single stroke. But there was no time to relax—dozens more rushed him all at once.

“I love this kind of chaos!” he exclaimed gleefully.

"Phoenix Sword Dance!" Luo Xiang shouted, unleashing his signature technique.

Instantly, his movements became wild and ferocious. Like a butcher in a slaughterhouse, he cut down the surrounding demonic beasts with ruthless precision. In just ten minutes, none remained.

Catching his breath, Luo Xiang sat down to recover his drained stamina, unaware of the grave mistake he had made. The stench of blood had drawn in something much worse.

A deafening roar echoed a kilometer away.

Rooooaarh!

“Damn it, I forgot...” Luo Xiang muttered, quickly collecting the beasts’ soul crystals.

But it was already too late. A Five-Headed Tiger, a Tier-3 demonic beast, arrived on the scene.

“Crap... a Tier-3 beast!”

Knowing he stood no chance, Luo Xiang bolted, the beast hot on his heels. Unfortunately, the tiger had already marked him as prey.

“Aaahhh! If I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done something so reckless!” Luo Xiang screamed as he ran for his life.

Despite lacking Qi energy, Luo Xiang managed to maintain a lead. Somehow, the beast couldn’t close the distance.

After twenty minutes of fleeing, the fatigue from the body’s former weakness slowed him down. The Five-Headed Tiger finally struck, its Qi-formed claw slashing across his back.

Slaaaash! Braaaak!

Thrown against a tree, the claw had cut three centimeters deep into his flesh. Blood poured from the wound, but Luo Xiang pushed through the pain and continued running.

Reaching the edge of a deep chasm, he halted. His face paled—it was bottomless.

Behind him, the Five-Headed Tiger licked its lips as if to say, “Nowhere left to run, weakling... you’re my dinner!”

“Tch! If I were at the Dao Dan level, you’d be the one in my belly, idiot!” Luo Xiang snapped.

With no way to fight, Luo Xiang smiled grimly.

“If facing you means death anyway... then I’ll take my chances with the fall!”

Without hesitation, he leapt into the abyss.

His scream echoed, while the tiger looked almost disappointed.

“Aaaahhh! If it’s this deep, I really am going to die!” Luo Xiang shouted.

Gedebooom!

A dull explosion rang out as his body slammed into the bottom. Darkness swallowed him—his weak body couldn’t withstand the impact.

But just as his consciousness faded, black flames began to envelop him.

The flames spiraled, lifting his body as if they had a will of their own. Slowly, they forced themselves into his broken bones.

The black fire began to temper his bones anew. Had Luo Xiang been awake, he would’ve felt excruciating agony. The process repeated again and again, lasting a full week.

Whether by fate or fortune, Luo Xiang’s consciousness returned—only to be met with soul-searing pain.

“AAAGGHH!” His eyes snapped open, tears flowing involuntarily from the unbearable torment. Never in his life, not even as a God, had he felt such pain.

“Wh-What’s happening to me...”

Hooosh! Hooosh!

Panting heavily, he endured the process—his bones crushed, then reborn. After two more hours, it finally ended.

To his astonishment, his body felt much stronger—his bones now dozens of times tougher.

Sitting up, Luo Xiang examined his condition. A frown appeared when he noticed his dantian was no longer broken, and that one of the three empty elements inside him had been filled.

“Is this a dream in the afterlife?” he muttered in disbelief.

He gritted his teeth in annoyance at the impatience of the Sky-Devouring Flame.“Damn it… Can’t you just stay quiet?!” Luo Xiang cursed internally.Annoyed by the disruption, he finally decided to step onto the final stair.Wuuung!The final step shook, releasing a blinding beam of light that shot into the dark night sky. Though he had successfully climbed all the stairs, Luo Xiang still needed to walk five meters forward.Swoooosh!As he pushed through the intense gravitational pressure, black flames began to dance and blaze around his body.

    Realizing who the informant was, Luo Xiang let out a soft chuckle. In his mind, the Star God had no reason to do something so foolish.Still, he felt grateful—because the information the Star God gave him marked the beginning of his journey back to godhood."Let’s go back..." Bai suddenly lost interest in fighting over the Phoenix Flame amidst the thousands of cultivators struggling for it.Hearing this, Luo Xiang nodded, understanding Bai’s concerns."Yier, will you follow your master’s request?" Luo Xiang asked seriously."What is it, Master?""Even though the Star Steps can strengthen your physical training, in the current situation, fighting over the Phoenix Flame will surely result in a terrible bloodbath... So, I ask that you return to the Luo Clan with Senior Bai.""No. I want to stay and protect you..."Luo Xiang gently shook his head while brushing Hong Yi’s soft hair."Trust your master."Bai, who had lost interest, suddenly changed his mind. This surprised Luo Xiang."Since

    The eagle Bai was riding began to rebel fiercely, its body swaying out of control."Feel this! Fly properly, will you? Can’t you see how happy I am to ride you?"In retaliation for the eagle's erratic behavior, Bai lightly tapped its head. The angry eagle shook its body even more violently.Woooosh!Bai was thrown off the eagle's back. Instantly, the eagle seemed overjoyed, as if delighted that the mischievous human got what he deserved."You little brat! I’ll teach you a lesson!"Swuuuush!Just before hitting the ground, a pair of blue wings emerged from Bai’s back. Enraged, he soared after his mount, determined to give it a taste of its own medicine.Swuuuush! Swuuuush!The two of them chased each other through the skies at high speed toward the Ghost Desert. Watching their antics, Luo Xiang couldn’t help but smile despite the heavy burden on his mind."Those two really are made for each other."After a week of travel on the silver-winged eagle, passing through dozens of cities and

    Hong Yi nodded, now fully understanding his master’s explanation. This was evident from the close-combat training he had never done before—except with his teacher.A few days later, Bai had grown quite close to Hong Yi after some casual conversations. During a rest period while they were gathering Qi energy, Luo Xiang sensed several auras approaching."Can you feel it?" Bai asked, unfazed by the group that was about to stop right above them in the sky."Yeah... but I don't care either," Luo Xiang replied, glancing at Hong Yi who was trying to suppress the poisonous aura from her body."I expected this… You’re actually quite a genius to grasp what’s usually difficult for ordinary cultivators.”He looked at her proudly—until suddenly, his gaze was drawn upward after hearing a sharp screech from a silver-winged eagle above.“Fools who seek death never seem to run out...” Luo Xiang muttered.Swuuuush! Swuuuush!Five young men and a middle-aged man descended from the back of the silver-win

    “I-I’m… afraid of the dark!” Hong Yi stammered, her face showing clear fear, as if she couldn’t bear to be alone in such a place.“If you don’t change, your soul will remain dark—just like this place,” Luo Xiang replied calmly.Traumatized from being abandoned in darkness before, Hong Yi broke down in tears before Luo Xiang.“Who… who are you really?!”“You don’t need to know for now… If you’re willing to follow me, you’ll learn the truth in time.”Though his words were cryptic, Hong Yi nodded quietly.“It wouldn’t be wrong for me to take her as my disciple,” Luo Xiang thought. “She’s a true genius—able to create something new from what she has...”“Do you want to become my disciple?”“B-but… we’re nearly the same age…” Hong Yi hesitated, feeling unsure.Swuuush!A golden light entered Hong Yi’s soul. Within moments, Luo Xiang bestowed upon her a technique to suppress her poison body, as well as numerous powerful sword techniques.“If you don’t want to call me Master, then consider th

    “You think I’d face you alone?” the demon woman sneered.Shreeeet!A sharp whistle echoed through the air. Moments later, a massive, muscular zombie appeared.“Wu Dao, attack him.”“Yes…” the zombie replied in a deep, robotic voice.Seeing this new zombie, Luo Xiang’s eyebrows lifted slightly. This one was much stronger than the others.Swuuush!Wu Dao lunged forward, launching a punch toward Luo Xiang’s face. The strike was slow enough for Luo Xiang to read, and he met it with a punch of his own.BOOOM!A massive surge of energy exploded outward. Luo Xiang was knocked back ten steps from his position.Though Wu Dao stood unmoved, one of his arms crumbled into dust. But to Luo Xiang’s astonishment, the arm began to regenerate almost instantly.“This is…” Luo Xiang muttered, impressed by the demon woman’s brilliance. This zombie exceeded every expectation he had.Swuuush!Wu Dao launched another attack, this time joined by the demon woman herself. With the two of them striking together
