2025-06-29 11:48:56Feeling 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.
“And this...”
Swoooosh!
Black flames danced in Luo Xiang’s hand. As he analyzed the flame’s energy, he recognized a trace of demonic aura within it.
“Isn’t this... the Heaven-Devouring Flame!” Luo Xiang's eyes widened in shock.
Amidst his surprise, memories of the previous wielder of the Heaven-Devouring Flame surfaced. A faint smile appeared on his lips as he recalled the fallen Demon Prince Hai Long.
“Too bad this flame is no longer in its prime... But now that it’s mine, I’ll make sure you become one of my secret weapons.”
Storing the Heaven-Devouring Flame back into his body, Luo Xiang turned his attention to escaping the chasm. It was pitch black with no visible path out—his only option was to climb.
Swuuuuush!
Drawing a pair of small daggers from his spatial ring, he began scaling the wall by driving the blades into the rock, step by step.
An hour passed. Though exhausted, Luo Xiang finally saw the edge of the cliff. He pushed himself harder, nearing the top.
“F-Finally...”
Hoosh! Hoosh! Catching his breath, he stabilized his stamina and absorbed the surrounding Qi.
After a few minutes of recovery, Luo Xiang resumed hunting demonic beasts to grow stronger.
Using his light body technique, he moved swiftly and soon encountered a pack of Golden Fang Wolves.
“Finally found you.”
Recognizing the Tier-1 and Tier-2 beasts relied on group tactics, Luo Xiang unsheathed his sword.
The wolves began circling him, mistaking him for prey. But they didn’t realize they were the ones marked for death.
Swuuuush!
Luo Xiang spun and slashed to the east, instantly killing a Tier-1 wolf. He did it again, targeting weaker ones to break the group’s formation.
Slaaaash! Slaaaash!
Two wolves fell. The rest growled in unison.
‘Auuuuuu!’ they howled, then launched a full-scale attack.
With strikes coming from every direction, Luo Xiang zigzagged, dodging with precision.
Hmph!
Slaaash! Slaaaash!
Pivoting, he countered with two clean slashes, forcing the wolves to retreat. Those who couldn’t move fast enough were decapitated.
“Phoenix Sword Dance!”
With that, he unleashed another wave of attacks. His blade whirled with deadly grace, killing dozens of wolves in seconds.
Minutes later, all the beasts lay dead.
“Done.”
Swuuuush! Swuuuush!
Five young men stepped out from the trees, eyes glinting with greed as they saw the slain beasts.
“Hand over the soul crystals and you can walk away painlessly,” one of them said coldly.
Luo Xiang’s expression turned cold. Rage simmered inside—these bastards wanted to steal his spoils.
“I suggest you leave... or your lives will be the price.”
They laughed maniacally.
“Hahaha! Just you?!”
Swuuuung!
They revealed their cultivation—Dao Initial Stage, stars four and five.
“Afraid now?”
“Afraid? There’s no such thing as fear when facing fools like you.”
Swuuuush!
Luo Xiang dashed forward, launching a punch at the nearest youth, Wei Ho, who couldn’t even follow his movements.
Baaams!
“So fast!” the others gasped.
Wei Ho stumbled back and shouted, “What are you waiting for?! Attack him, idiots!”
“Yes!”
They attacked in unison—but Luo Xiang effortlessly dodged, countering with open-handed slaps.
Plaaak! Plaaak! Plaaak! Plaaak!
One by one, he slapped them across the face, then stepped back to collect the scattered soul crystals.
“Leave. I’ll consider this settled. But if we meet again, and you try something stupid... I won’t show mercy.”
The four nodded fearfully—but not Wei Ho. As the third son of the Wei patriarch, he couldn't stand being humiliated.
Just as Luo Xiang gathered the last crystal, Wei Ho lunged at him.
Luo Xiang, sensing the attack, smiled faintly.
"Demon Slash!" Wei Ho shouted, unleashing his sword strike.
Swuuuush!
Luo Xiang spun, raising his sword to block the surging energy.
Baaams!
Dust burst into the air. Thinking his attack succeeded, Wei Ho laughed.
“See?! Trash like him scares you all?!”
But as the dust cleared, the others saw Luo Xiang standing behind Wei Ho. They stared wide-eyed, silently signaling him.
Sensing something wrong, Wei Ho turned—only to find darkness. He collapsed, never to move again.
“You... killed..."
“Go. Before your turn comes.”
Terrified, the others fled.
Luo Xiang looted Wei Ho’s ring and resumed collecting crystals.
Two weeks later, with over 500 soul crystals in hand, Luo Xiang sat among them.
“Soul-Devouring Dragon Technique!”
Swuuuung!
The crystals shattered, energy flooding into him.
Baaams! Dao Initial, Star Three!
Baaams! Dao Initial, Star Four!
Baaams! Dao Initial, Star Five!
But he couldn’t break into Dao Core.
“Damn... this many resources, and still no breakthrough?”
Swuuuush!
Luo Jin arrived. Shocked by his grandson’s growth, he demanded answers.
“Kid... what happened?! How did your dantian heal?!”
Fwoooosh!
Black flames appeared. Recognizing the Heaven-Devouring Flame, Luo Jin recalled a war fifty years ago—a flame that brought disaster.
“That flame... it chose you. But don’t reveal it unless necessary.”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
Relieved yet worried, Luo Jin asked, “What’s your next move?”
“I’m going to the Han Clan... to keep my promise.”
“What?!”
Despite the gap between his and Han Lu’s power, Luo Xiang insisted.
He challenged Luo Jin himself.
“Suppress your strength to Dao Core, Star Five.”
They dueled. To Luo Jin’s surprise, Luo Xiang’s speed and swordplay overwhelmed him.
Fifty exchanges later, Luo Jin was on the defensive.
"Ghost Sword Step!" Luo Jin launched his sword technique.
Swuuuush!
Zig-zagging like a phantom, Luo Jin attacked swiftly, but Luo Xiang’s experience surpassed his.
Swuuuush! Klaaang!
Seizing an opening, Luo Xiang twisted mid-air and struck the center of Luo Jin’s blade—shattering it in two.
“You’ve lost, Grandpa.”
Luo Jin nodded in awe.
“I won’t stop you anymore.”
They returned to the Luo Clan.
A week later, Luo Xiang asked, “Where’s Mom?”
Luo Jin shook his head.
“She’s probably at the Han Clan.”
—
Luo Lan had gone to plead with the Han Patriarch. But instead, she was insulted.
“You filthy wench! Cancel the duel and pay 1000 Tier-3 soul crystals and 50 kilos of violet crystal!”
Bwoooong!
Luo Lan’s Dao Spirit, Star Five aura flared.
“Foolish woman,” Han Yu sneered, unleashing Dao Master, Star One.
—
Knowing Luo Lan had been poisoned, Luo Jin summoned his phoenix and flew with Luo Xiang to the Han Clan.
One hour later, at the Han Clan gates—no activity. Luo Jin sensed something wrong.
Two minutes later, rage flushed his face.
“Whoever hurt my daughter... I’ll kill you!”
Swuuuuung!
His Dao Soul, Star Two aura blanketed the clan. Pressure crushed the Han members.
Han Yu, surprised by this terrifying presence, hurried to the martial grounds.
“Senior, what brings you here?”
“Release Lan’er... or the Han Clan dies today!”
Terrified, Han Yu realized who he was.
“I-I’ll release her!”
“I’m fine, son...”
“No, you’re not! And now, they’ll pay!”
“I’ll compensate you—10 kilos of violet crystal!”
“Hahaha... I want your life!”
Swuuung!
Luo Jin formed a massive hand-shaped seal.
Han Yu was paralyzed.
“Why... can’t I move?”
Booooms!
A shadowy hand blocked the seal.
“Who’s there?!”
Swuuuush! Swuuuush!
Two middle-aged men appeared. Luo Jin recognized one.
“Wei Tian?”
“Hand over your grandson!”
“He killed the third son of Patriarch Wei!”
“If that’s true, you’ll have to kill me first!”
Luo Xiang checked his Divine Soul.
“One percent left...”
“Why are two elders from the Wei Clan here?” Luo Lan asked weakly.
Luo Xiang stayed silent. Was he a burden?
Suddenly, phoenix cries echoed.
Kyyaaat! Swuuuush!
Five middle-aged men in Luo robes appeared, surrounding the Wei Elders.
“So... this Luo Clan is just a branch?” Luo Xiang realized.
“You dare provoke the Luo Clan? Does the Wei Clan want war?”

Moving in a zigzag pattern, Luo Xiang unleashed his sword technique.“Phoenix Sword Dance!”With just a single technique, the tide of battle shifted entirely. Luo Xiang now dominated the fight. Every strike landed flawlessly, and Luo Xiang could clearly see Shen Nan’s face twitching—unable to keep up with his movements.He danced gracefully, showcasing the beauty of his sword arts. Shen Nan’s attacks faltered, and he was forced to pull back from the battle.“What? You’re already retreating after just a few techniques?”Shen Nan let out a bitter smile. It was clear that his combat experience could not compare to the true Sword God standing before him.“No wonder you were given the title ‘Sword God’... As expected, from the aspect of swordsmanship alone, defeating you is nearly impossible!”Right after speaking those words, Shen Nan withdrew his sword back into his spatial ring. Moments later, he closed his eyes as two completely different auras erupted violently from within his body.B

Like a fleeting, formless shadow, Luo Xiang shot forward at peak speed toward the mysterious figure.On the other side, the three Elders finally snapped out of their daze after realizing Luo Xiang had departed.“L-look over there! Th-the Goddess!” Yin Daihe exclaimed, drawing every beastkin’s attention toward the eye of the resurrection formation of Goddess Su Hua.Indeed, Su Hua’s body was now bent forward, and the eye of the resurrection formation fired a golden beam into the sky. This ray signaled that Su Hua’s new spirit soul had been reborn perfectly. The beastkins could even feel the overwhelming aura rising from her—an aura that threatened their very existence.“H-her aura is so strong?! W-why is it so different from the previous Goddess?”“I don’t know… I-is this because we used dragon blood?”The beastkins whispered among themselves regarding Su Hua’s awakening. Yet none of them realized that a terrifying battle was about to erupt near Yin Qiyi’s Ghost City.Above the skies o

The laws of heaven attempted to destroy what Luo Xiang was about to accomplish. However, a powerful barrier suddenly appeared, causing the heavenly lightning to explode midway. Although it managed to block one strike from the laws of heaven, mere seconds after heaven grew furious, the barrier crafted by the Dragon God ancestor cracked—and finally shattered into dust.Traaaack! Traaaack!“Xiang, do you have a death wish?! Leave now! While the laws of heaven are still gathering their divine thunder!”A faint smile appeared on Luo Xiang’s lips upon hearing the Dragon God ancestor’s concern. But in his first life—Shen Luo Xiang, the birth of the Sword God—everything had been orchestrated by the Fire God. Now, feeling his divine lightning reacting as well, and knowing his second life might not grant him the chance to become the Sword God again, Luo Xiang chose to follow his heart. He prepared to soar into the sky toward the incoming heavenly strike.“Young master, move away! That attack sh

Not answering the ancestral request of the Dragon God, Luo Xiang now sat upon the surface of the Soul World’s ground. Moments later, the star energy that spread across the entire Soul World began to stir the moment Luo Xiang entered cultivation.“Sky-Devouring Dragon Technique!”Swuuuuuung!Inside the Soul World, madness erupted as he absorbed the scattered star energy. The energy that had begun to gather suddenly surged unnaturally into Luo Xiang’s body. How could this be? The Sky-Devouring Dragon Technique was, in truth, the most insane cultivation technique in the history of cultivators.To create this technique, Luo Xiang had studied countless Heavenly-rank cultivation arts. This was what stimulated his intelligence and monstrous talent. By comprehending every technique, Luo Xiang eventually managed to merge them all into one. In the end, the Sky-Devouring Dragon Technique was successfully created by Luo Xiang himself.If the Gods used inherited cultivation techniques passed down

“Th-that jade in young master’s hand… isn’t it the Arhat Jade bestowed by the Sword God before the Goddess’s death?”“And that staff… I hope young master will grant it to us, for that staff symbolizes the authority of the demon world!”Luo Xiang nodded, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.“This staff I shall give you, but in return for reviving Goddess Su Hua. As for myself, I only ask to keep this Arhat Jade. You won’t object, will you?”The three demon elders exchanged glances, conversing telepathically. After a brief moment, they nodded in unison.“The Arhat Jade may be of use to us, but since young master desires it, we shall not contest.”Luo Xiang nodded again and handed the staff to Yin Qiyi. Observing the exchange, the Dragon God Ancestor furrowed his brows.“Why did you only ask for the Arhat Jade?” he asked via telepathy, puzzled.Luo Xiang gave a sly smile.“Good thing you asked through telepathy! Otherwise, they might have demanded back something far greater t

Yin Han began unleashing punches into the air. As though time itself had frozen, within mere moments a vortex of Qi energy emerged from the void, followed by gales of wind sweeping against the colossal hand in the sky.The fluctuation of Qi energy, along with the violent gusts, spread with immense force. Even Luo Xiang was forced to retreat, flying back toward Su Hua’s remnant soul.“He’s far too strong… If only the Goddess had left me more energy, I could have killed him in a single strike!” Su Hua exclaimed, making Luo Xiang understand.“I never expected Yin Han and Yin Wei to have reached the Divine Stage either,” added Yin Qiyi, as Yin Daihe and Yin Lang appeared at Luo Xiang’s side.Luo Xiang gave a faint smile. “Indeed, the Divine Stage can destroy an entire Empire with a single move. But that does not mean… they are without weakness.”“D-does young master have a solution? Right now, only Qiyi has stepped into the Divine Stage!”Nodding, Luo Xiang fixed his gaze on Yin Han and Y
