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

At this moment, the Grandmaster-level cultivator was stroking his beard and gazing up at the void with a smug look.

He looked like a lonely master.

"Elder Qi, be careful!!"

careful?

What are you being careful about? It's ridiculous!

Suddenly, an incomparably cold chill enveloped my heart.

As expected of an elder from a sect in the cultivation world, his combat experience is incredibly rich.

They were far superior to the nobles and officials of the court in the past.

Without even looking, a protective shield of true essence immediately rose around him.

He swung the weapon in his hand behind him.

Boom! !

He felt as if the weapon had struck a drum, producing a dull thud.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful force slammed into his true essence shield.

His feet involuntarily left the ground, and his body was thrown backward by the force of the impact.

Ten feet away, this Grandmaster finally landed on his feet.

At this moment, the true essence shield on his body dimmed considerably.

Looking down at the protective shield, a black fist-shaped mark the size of a bowl on it was making a sizzling sound.

"Good heavens, this elder admits that the strange creature is indeed difficult to kill."

"He's only at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm, yet he's immortal?"

In the cultivation world, if a Grandmaster is beheaded, he's instantly killed.

This guy is strange; he didn't die!

A new head slowly emerged from the chest cavity.

That thick, indescribable viscous substance made people feel nauseous just looking at it.

"Damn, this beast can even use mental attacks."

"I'll never eat candied beef again!"

Having said that, he covered the weapon in his hand with true energy.

A beam of light, hundreds of feet long, emitted spiritual energy.

A bizarre attack that directly strikes the opponent from a distance!

This time, instead of waiting to die, the monster raised two thick, skinless arms.

It collided directly with the attack.

boom!!

An explosion rang out, and two muscular arms were severed.

A strange wound, deep inside the body, also appeared on the chest cavity.

The next moment, these injuries began to heal again.

Both arms grew back!

"Damn, is it that hard to kill?!"

Not far away, seven people at the Purple Mansion Realm were swallowing hard as they watched the strange creature that had been surrounded.

Someone couldn't help but speak up.

"Gentlemen, shall we escape?"

"This monster is so difficult to kill, I'm afraid we're no match for it!"

...

"Hmph, try to escape?"

"It's good that you died at the hands of the supernatural; at least your family will receive some compensation."

"If they escape, their entire family will be executed!"

These words instantly sent a chill down their spines!

Forget it, let's just kill the monster!

"Then let's get started!"

...

This scene actually plays out in many places.

The initial strangeness did indeed catch many cultivators off guard.

This terrified some of the monks.

They didn't care at all what consequences running away would bring to their families.

All they cared about was surviving; what did family or the imperial court matter compared to their own lives?

However, they greatly underestimated the intelligence capabilities of the Heavenly Punishment Division.

They were almost all caught the next day.

He was executed on the spot, beheaded!

Moreover, their families also suffered as a result.

In an instant, the heads of dozens of cultivators were hung high on the city gate.

The annihilation of dozens of families from various regions instantly shocked cultivators across the land.

It also brought those with wavering minds to their senses.

After weighing the options in my mind, I felt I could still persevere.

The strange creatures are difficult to kill, but that's only because you haven't found the right method.

For example, if it's a strange creature that can revive, then drain its life force and burn it to ashes with a fire!

For example, if something can affect a cultivator's mind, then simply blindfold them and use their divine sense to replace their sight.

Gradually, people realized that the eerie things weren't so strange after all.

Once you break through their mysterious properties, killing them would be incredibly easy.

And let's not forget that the supernatural itself is a rare resource.

After all, if Heaven wants to transform evil thoughts into something strange, it can't just do it with a single sentence.

He is not yet capable of creating something out of nothing, of creating a new race.

For a time, cultivators within the Great Xia territory were searching everywhere for the strange occurrences.

The number of strange creatures that have descended upon this territory this time is at least several million, if not tens of millions.

Moreover, the eerie creatures are adept at hiding, so it's impossible to completely eliminate them in a short time.

...

Fuyang City is a very special city nowadays.

Because Xia Zhaoyan's maternal clan lives here.

Logically speaking, a family like the Li family, who were related to the emperor through marriage, should have moved to the capital after Xia Zhaoyan ascended the throne.

However, the Li family did not move in, and Xia Zhaoyan did not extend an invitation.

Both sides were afraid of putting the other in a difficult position in the end.

The Li family doesn't have any纨绔 (spoiled brats) now, but what if one appears in the future?

I think I'll just stay in Fuyang City.

Similarly, the branch of the Underworld in Qingzhou is also located in Fuyang City.

That day, the Underworld branch received news that a powerful and eerie entity had appeared around the Li family.

The branch's high-ranking officers, along with the branch's Tianchi assassins, were stationed in other locations.

At this moment, there were only a few ordinary assassins from Tianchi here, although they were also summoned.

However, he is currently only at the late stage of the Grandmaster realm.

One of them immediately stood up and said.

"Let's go, let's set off immediately."

"Immediately notify the Heavenly Punishment Division and the branch's higher-ups!"

There were only twelve ordinary assassins from Tianchi here, and now they have all been mobilized.

Arrive at the area where the Li family lives as quickly as possible.

Looking around, a tall, eerie figure was pressing down on the Li family members.

Fortunately, they arrived in time and there were no casualties.

This is where everyone in the underworld is feeling fortunate at this moment.

"The Li family members must retreat immediately."

Upon hearing the sound, the Li family members quickly retreated.

The next moment, twelve Grandmaster-level figures surrounded the strange creature.

At this moment, one of them asked:

"Gentlemen, how did this strange object appear?"

Logically speaking, strange occurrences should no longer appear in Fuyang City.

Because the city was thoroughly searched by the Underworld, the Heavenly Punishment Bureau, and the government the moment the strange tide descended.

All the strange creatures that could be found were killed!

Otherwise, the higher-ups of the underworld wouldn't be stationed in other places.

"Someone deliberately lured us here."

The eldest son of the Li family spoke in an extremely gloomy voice.

The Li family is already keeping such a low profile, and besides, who doesn't know about the Li family's background?

There are actually people who dare to do this; they're practically courting death.

Was it deliberately provoked?

The twelve assassins exchanged glances, a heavy look flashing in each other's eyes.

"At that moment, I only sensed a powerful aura flash by, a feeling that far surpassed the Celestial Realm!"

...

"Alright, let's deal with this beast first."

"Everyone be careful!"

One of them gave the order and instantly lunged forward.

In their perception, this strange creature was merely a master-level creature.

The weapon in this person's hand exuded the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming into a three-hundred-foot-long beam of light that enveloped something eerie.

"cut!!"

He knew that a single blow would not be enough to kill the monster.

Suddenly, an eerie aura erupted.

The aura that was originally at the Grandmaster level instantly rose to the Dharma Aspect level!

At that moment, the man felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar!

A thought flashed through my mind: I've been tricked!

This is clearly someone deliberately attracting strange phenomena in an attempt to wipe out the Underworld branch and the Li family in one fell swoop!

He retreated instantly, but he was too slow!

A gaping maw appeared in his eyes, and the next moment, he was plunged into darkness!
