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?”

Qing Mei gazed at Luo Xiang. Perhaps the first guards who surrounded them had only been at the level of One-Star Soul Dao, but now, these five warriors stood at Three and Four-Star Soul Dao.“What if I force my way in…” Luo Xiang’s words trailed off.“You cannot… Even after killing those two wastes earlier… hand over your lives!”Swuush!The five gate guardians lunged at Luo Xiang with their fists. Yet, in the very next instant, a powerful aura swept across them, freezing their movements.“Wh-what aura is this?!” one of the guards exclaimed as they all fell to their knees.Just as the five warriors found themselves unable to move, a figure suddenly appeared behind Luo Xiang—Feng Lao Zi.“Am I allowed to enter?” the old man asked, startling Luo Xiang, Qing Mei, and Wu Yi with his sudden appearance.“Y-you… the Sky-Burning Swordsman…” the five guards trembled in terror, recognizing the figure behind Luo Xiang.“Step aside. After this, I will not hold you accountable,” Feng Lao Zi said c

When Luo Xiang and Wu Yi had put on the black-and-white masks, Wu Yi tried channeling his Qi into it. Suddenly, a thick murderous aura burst forth from his body.“Brother… Why does this mask carry such a murderous aura?”Luo Xiang nodded slightly. “Perhaps the previous owner of these masks was a great assassin. After killing his enemies, he deliberately absorbed and stored their murderous intent inside the mask.”Wu Yi nodded in understanding. Not long after their conversation, Qing Mei’s voice called from outside, prompting them to leave the room.“Xiang’er, are you ready?” asked Qing Mei.Luo Xiang nodded, and the three of them quickly departed from the city.Suiiiiit!A sharp whistle pierced the air. Moments later, a crimson-blue feathered eagle descended from the skies, landing right before them.“We’ll be using this eagle. Any objections?”“No, Auntie…” Luo Xiang replied as he and Wu Yi climbed onto the eagle’s back.Swuush!Once Qing Mei mounted as well, the crimson-blue eagle s

"Aunt, so the Forbidden Land truly exists... and perhaps it is inhabited by an ancient race, possessing high cultivation?""Yes... that’s what I believe. There are countless rumors about the Forbidden Land—some even speak of the existence of Bodhi Elixir within."At the mention of Bodhi Elixir, Luo Xiang’s eyes instantly widened with shock.Even in the Divine Realm, such an elixir is nearly impossible to find... Could it be that this Forbidden Land is in fact the Immortal World? he thought to himself."Xiang’er... it seems you know something about this Forbidden Land." Qing Mei tilted her head, astonished by the sudden change in his expression.Luo Xiang simply shook his head, choosing not to elaborate. Instead, he asked about the layout of the Sword Domain’s entrances and exits. Perhaps, in his days as a God, he had once traveled there. Back then, a mere flick of his fingers was enough to traverse dimensions—he had never needed to bother searching for teleportation gates.Coincidenta

"Strange... why do these two blue lights look as if they’re showing the layout of a place?" Luo Xiang muttered to himself.As he focused on the glow, the lights suddenly shot into his forehead. At once, a fragment of memory surfaced in his mind.These memories revealed a chain of events leading to his father’s disappearance. Within them, Luo Xiang saw countless sacrifices his father had made—just to restore his dantian, so he could cultivate again like any ordinary cultivator.“F-Father!” Luo Xiang cried out.“Kakak?” Wu Yi tilted her head, bewildered at her brother’s sudden outburst after spacing out.“Ahh… it’s nothing.” Luo Xiang scratched the back of his head awkwardly.“I need to find out what that place in my memory was… Maybe I can also discover Father’s whereabouts there.” He murmured, then quickly left his room with Wu Yi following behind.“Kakak, where are you going?” she asked curiously.“I’m going to gather information, Yier,” Luo Xiang replied as they walked through the b

"Soul’s Wrath! Piercing Soul Scarf!"On the other side, since their strengths were evenly matched, the woman in the black dress quickly retreated and unleashed a long-range technique.At the same time, Luo Xiang took advantage of the opening to release his killing seal."Soul Wrath Sword!"Spinning his body, he formed a sealing formation with the sword in his hand. In mere moments, a gigantic figure emerged from within the seal, wielding a massive blade to block the scarf techniques of the black-dressed woman.“Even Princess Ge Yu has to fight seriously… That means this young man is on the same level as us!” one of the elders exclaimed before taking the initiative to strike Luo Xiang, who had just unleashed his technique.Realizing the incoming danger, Luo Xiang moved in a zig-zag motion before countering with his sword. Yet no opening was shown by the elder, until Luo Xiang suddenly realized—he had revealed an opening himself.“Got you, boy!”BOOOOOM!Two other elders suddenly dashed

Ten minutes later, Luo Xiang’s fingers twitched—a sign that his consciousness had returned.“Senior, what happened?” Luo Xiang asked as he realized his body was bound.The Dragon God Ancestor explained everything that had taken place while Luo Xiang was unconscious. Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.“So that’s how it is… The moment I shattered the Five-Element Seal of the Demon World, they immediately seized the golden opportunity…” Luo Xiang muttered in understanding.Wanting to learn more about the woman in the black gown, Luo Xiang allowed himself to remain bound. On the other side, Wu Yi had already awakened and quietly prepared to follow Luo Xiang’s plan.That night, atop the ancient altar, Luo Xiang sensed several powerful auras entering the secret chamber. He and Wu Yi feigned unconsciousness, lying perfectly still.Soon, the woman in the black gown, accompanied by her subordinates, stepped into the altar chamber.“Are these the two you spoke
