An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

As the Eternal Night Demon Emperor who has refined countless gods and saints into great elixirs, Lu Li's perspective on all things in the world has long transcended worldly concerns.

What the Blue Star people saw as a symbol of despair and death, he considered merely a consumable for cultivation.

"Since it has flesh and blood, it must have vital essence. It would be a waste of its nutrients to simply kill it."

Adhering to the principle of never wasting a single bit of demonic cultivation resources, Lu Li didn't even lift a finger.

He merely released a faint wisp of imperial might outwards.

Even if the power contained in this projection at this moment is only one ten-millionth of his original body at its peak.

However, this oppressive aura originating from the Emperor remains an insurmountable barrier for a D-level anomaly.

"Bang!"

That invisible imperial might, like a divine mountain falling from the heavens, crashed down on the pseudo-human demon.

The fake human monster didn't even have time to let out a scream before its movement, which was about to tear Lu Xueyao apart, came to an abrupt halt.

The cold light in its eyes vanished instantly, and its entire body, like a puppet without its strings, fell straight forward to the ground with a dull thud.

One strike kills, annihilating both body and soul.

However, because Lu Li deliberately controlled the destructive power of the Emperor's Might, the body of this pseudo-human monster was completely preserved, without even a scratch. It lay quietly on the cold rock, becoming a corpse.

This scene, captured on camera as the nation struggles for survival, was presented without reservation to the audience of the Blue Star Dragon Kingdom.

The entire live stream fell into an eerie silence for five seconds. Then, the comments erupted like a volcanic eruption, completely out of control and densely filling the entire screen.

"What happened? Can anyone tell me what just happened?"

"How is this possible? How could Qi suddenly collapse on her own? Lu Xueyao clearly didn't do anything!"

"Could it be the black-clad ghost pet that made the move? But wait, I was watching the screen the whole time, and the ghost pet didn't move an inch, its hands behind its back!"

"Look closely at that pseudo-humanoid monster! Its body is intact! Based on our three years of experience fighting monsters, monsters cannot be killed, much less die suddenly without a single wound!"

"I get it! There must be something wrong with this fake humanoid monster itself!"

A viewer claiming to be a scholar of the supernatural analyzed in the live chat: "Perhaps there's a bug in the source law of the Eternal Night Wasteland's supernatural power! Or maybe this supernatural being is out of place, and its killing rules got stuck during execution, causing its own logic to collapse!"

"Yes, yes, that must be it! This kind of death is too bizarre; it's not something that humans or low-level monsters could do."

Lu Xueyao's luck is unbelievable! She even managed to make the supernatural system crash!

At this moment, Lu Xueyao, inside the cave, slowly turned around and turned her gaze to the tall, black-clad figure behind her.

When she saw the other person's face clearly, Lu Xueyao was struck dumb and froze on the spot.

Although the man in front of her looked like a middle-aged man who had experienced many hardships, and there were subtle traces of time at the corners of his eyes, his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and his well-defined features gradually overlapped with the young man in her memory who always patted her head and had a gentle smile.

It was her brother, whom she had been missing for three whole years and missed day and night.

Lu Xueyao's lips trembled violently, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

She felt as if something was blocking her throat, and with all her might, she managed to squeeze out the name etched deep in her soul.

"elder brother……"

Upon hearing this call, a gentle ripple appeared in Lu Li's eyes, which were as clear as an ancient well.

The chill of millennia of demonic cultivation was instantly melted away by this call.

He looked at his only blood relative in the world and replied with two words in a gentle tone.

"I am here."

These two simple words completely shattered the defenses that Lu Xueyao had painstakingly maintained for three years.

Two lines of clear tears welled up in her eyes and slid down her fair cheeks.

Her body trembled slightly. In her mind, her brother had already disappeared three years ago during that terrible initial strange occurrence.

In today's bizarre world, being missing for three years is tantamount to death.

But now, her brother was summoned in a phantom form when she used her ability as a demon tamer.

She instinctively believed that her brother had indeed been mysteriously murdered back then.

But because of his strong desire to protect his sister, the brother's soul transformed into a strange pet. Even after death, even in this game of national destiny, he still transcended life and death to return to her side and protect her.

"Brother, I'm sorry... I was so useless. If I had awakened to become a Demon Master sooner, would you not have died back then...?" Lu Xueyao choked up, her voice filled with self-blame and pain.

Lu Li watched his sister shed tears, feeling helpless, but he didn't explain the complicated concepts like time flow, the Xuan Tian Realm, or the Great Emperor.

Because he realized that the state of his mental projection was completely different from when he was in Bureau 749 on Blue Star.

"The dimensional space of this Eternal Night Wasteland is a level higher than that of Earth."

Lu Li silently sensed the spatial barriers around him and understood.

The higher plane has a higher capacity, so the repulsive force on his projection is greatly reduced, and he can stay there for much longer than on Earth.

However, Lu Li did not waste time on small talk.

He knew that in order to truly survive in this perilous and eerie place, Lu Xueyao had to master her own power.

"Xueyao, don't cry."

Without uttering any unnecessary words, Lu Li raised his illusory right hand, joined his index and middle fingers together, and pointed one finger at Lu Xueyao's brow.

"My current state is special, and I cannot stay by your side for long. The strangeness in this eternal wasteland is not an invincible nightmare, but nourishment to help you embark on the supreme path."

I will now teach you two techniques; please try to comprehend them carefully.

As Lu Li's fingertips touched Lu Xueyao's forehead.

boom!

A massive amount of information, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly flooded into Lu Xueyao's mind.

These were the two supreme demonic scriptures that Lu Li perfected to the extreme over the ten thousand years of Xuan Tian Realm.

The first cultivation technique is called the Blood Nerve. It is a demonic cultivation technique whose core essence is plunder and devouring. It can forcibly absorb the essence of all living beings in the world, even strange beings with flesh and blood, and refine them into the purest blood and qi power, thereby endlessly increasing the physical strength and cultivation level of the cultivator.

The second technique is called the Myriad Souls Emperor Scripture, which specializes in attacking the soul.

It can forcibly devour and imprison wandering spirits and invisible monsters.
