Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

Among those killed in the Zhang family this time, Zhang Hailin himself was a Grandmaster, and his life force alone far surpassed that of all the members of the Liu family in Phoenix Fire City before.

If there were ten million Zhang Hailins, would they fill this cauldron of vitality?

[Replying to the host, at least on this desolate continent, even if you slaughtered every living being in this world, you still wouldn't be able to fill this life-giving cauldron.]

What does that mean? Xia Zhaoyan felt as if he had overheard a huge secret.

I had some doubts before, wondering what lay beyond the Heavenly Desolate Continent.

It now seems that the Tianhuang Continent is likely just an insignificant world.

[If the Life Cauldron can truly be filled in the future, then after a one-time sacrifice, this system guarantees to grant the host a saint-level figure.]

saint!!

Xia Zhaoyan's breathing quickened as he couldn't help but fantasize about having a saint as his subordinate.

[Ahem, host, you'd better be more down-to-earth!]

"Damn it, I was actually looked down upon by something that's not even alive!"

"Don't underestimate a young man's potential. Remember, fortunes can change in an instant. Who knows if I might rise to prominence in the future!"

Xia Zhaoyan stubbornly refused to admit it, figuring he had nothing better to do anyway, so he might as well banter with the system to pass the time.

Never underestimate the poverty of the young, the middle-aged, or the elderly; respect the dead!

[Without this system, this would probably be a snapshot of the host's life!]

"You...you son of a bitch..."

Xia Zhaoyan was so frustrated by the system that he felt like smashing the lousy system.

Just then, the system's crisp voice rang out.

[Ding! Sacrifice complete. Congratulations, host, on your first intercelestial sacrifice.]

[Congratulations, host! You have been awarded two hundred Lesser Rejuvenation Pills.]

[Congratulations, host! You have been awarded one hundred First-Grade Realm Pills.]

[Congratulations, host! You have been rewarded with 100 high-grade spirit crystals, 10,000 mid-grade spirit crystals, and 100,000 low-grade spirit crystals!]

[Congratulations, host! You have been resurrected and will receive two hundred celestial guards!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and drawn the legendary figure Wanwan from across the heavens!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and drawn the legendary figure Shi Feixuan!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and drawn the legendary figure Wanwan from across the heavens!]

[Congratulations, host! You have resurrected and extracted the following characters from the various realms: Jiang Renjie, Jiang Chongde, Jiang Xuanli, Jiang Yuanxin, and Jiang Zhaoyi.]

[Congratulations, host! You have been resurrected and have drawn the following characters from the myriad realms: Blazing Sun Flame, Shi Zhongtian, Bai Fanghua, Bu Di, and Zhen Sushan!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a special token for the Underworld Organization!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained two hundred sets of armor, two hundred python tendon bows, and two hundred thousand-forged swords.]

This reward event has ended. We look forward to your next visit!

What a wonderful "looking forward to the next visit"! The reward alone this time is enough to broaden Xia Zhaoyan's horizons.

He never expected that the rewards would be so numerous and so powerful.

If calculated based on the life force sacrificed previously, it would be impossible to cover so many rewards.

"System, why did I receive so many rewards for the life force I just sacrificed?"

It should be noted that among the dead who contributed their life force, only Zhang Hailin was a Grandmaster.

Do you even understand the law of conservation of energy? Shouldn't it be that you get back what you sacrifice?

[Host, please calm down. The sacrifice of life force is merely a catalyst for resurrecting the beings of the heavens!]

[As for the energy needed for these characters' resurrection, the host need not worry about that; the system has plenty of ways to steal the essence of other worlds!]

[Furthermore, each sacrifice depends on the host's luck; perhaps after a sacrifice, the host will only receive some ordinary rewards!]

"I see, I knew it!"

From this perspective, vitality is both important and unimportant to a system.

After all, vitality is just a catalyst for resurrection; the system is incredibly powerful, capable of stealing the essence of other worlds.

Wow, listen to that! What an amazing existence!

The origin of the world, the very core of a world is its origin.

Just like the desolate world, if the source is reduced, the first thing affected will be the Heavenly Dao.

However, without a drug to guide the drug, the system is just for show.

Xia Zhaoyan felt that the strength of the rewarded character this time was definitely much stronger than the last one.

Thinking of this, he got up and went to the backyard.

Without his order, the servants and guards of the manor are not allowed to enter.

Once discovered, they will be executed on the spot.

A guard had come in earlier, and he thought he had been very careful, since it was common knowledge that Renwang was just an ordinary cultivator in the Blood Exchange Realm.

He was just unlucky; Hongyang happened to return to the palace that day.

As a result, Hongyang discovered this in secret, and Xia Zhaoyan directly ordered Hongyang to deal with the person secretly.

Needless to say, this guard was likely a spy from another faction or individual.

It's hard to believe that there would be people from other factions among the guards dispatched by the royal family.

Xia Zhaoyan could see from this that the Great Xia royal family was increasingly unable to control the various forces within its borders.

He didn't interrogate the guard, knowing he wouldn't get anything out of him!

He simply let all the guards know that one of them had been executed by him!

"System, I want to manifest two hundred guards!" he silently recited in his mind.

The space in front of them began to ripple, and then a phantom golden gate slowly opened.

A series of synchronized footsteps sounded, followed by a flash of light.

Two hundred figures exuding murderous aura appeared in the square, and Xia Zhaoyan was forced back several steps by the powerful killing intent.

The next moment, the imposing aura emanating from these people vanished, and everyone knelt on one knee.

"We deserve to die for offending Your Highness!"

Xia Zhaoyan looked embarrassed, after all, it was because his cultivation was weak.

"Alright everyone, please rise now."

"I will not blame you."

...

"Thank you, Your Highness! I swear to follow you to the death!"

With two hundred guards, Xia Zhaoyan felt that the guards this time seemed to be stronger than the last time.

"What are your names?"

The two men in the middle were centurions. "Your Highness, my name is Wu Hai."

"Your Highness, my name is Wuya."

Wow, they're brothers!

What happened next confirmed Xia Zhaoyan's guess.

Among the two hundred guards, the two centurions were both at the peak of the Innate Realm, and there were four deputies at the mid-stage of the Innate Realm.

The remaining ordinary guards were all at the Perfected Acquired Realm.

This filled him with elation. After he reorganized the Heavenly Punishment Division, he had eliminated many martial artists who were just coasting along.

Just when we were short of guards, nearly two hundred people at the peak of the Acquired Realm arrived.

However, Xia Zhaoyan knew that it was extremely difficult for someone in the Acquired Realm to break through to the Innate Realm.

In this world, out of a hundred martial artists at the Acquired Perfection Realm, only two or three can break through to the Innate Realm.

Even if the guards rewarded by the system have better aptitude than ordinary Acquired Realm cultivators, it is impossible for them all to break through to the Innate Realm.

"Alright, you guys change into your own gear now."

With that, Xia Zhaoyan waved his hand, and two hundred sets of equipment fell into the hands of everyone.

These equipment are far superior to those provided to the guards by the Heavenly Punishment Division.

Just then, Hongyang appeared in the backyard.

The next moment, Wuya and Wuhai were about to make their move.

"We're on the same side!" Xia Zhaoyan hurriedly called out to stop them.

The two quickly apologized, and the three then introduced themselves to each other.

Hongyang then reported to Xia Zhaoyan, "Your Highness, the execution is over!"

"Many members of noble families have come to attend the ceremony!"

Xia Zhaoyan sneered after hearing this, "They're probably here to probe the secrets of my Heavenly Punishment Division!"

"But it doesn't matter. As long as I have time, it won't be long before the Heavenly Punishment Division can suppress any force with ulterior motives!"

The reason he acted so arrogantly this time was simply to intimidate a bunch of petty scoundrels!
