When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

The shapes of these twelve monsters strangely correspond to the ancient Chinese zodiac!

The Rat Guards.

Its body size has shrunk to half that of a normal person, its body is covered with black poisonous thorns, its eyes are pale white, it can move seamlessly in the shadows, and its hands have transformed into pitch-black claws that can tear apart the laws of the void!

Ugly Ox Guardian.

Its body swelled to three meters in height, and two horns burning with hellish black flames sprouted from its head. Every stomp it made could trigger a small-scale local earthquake!

Tiger Guardian.

Its body is covered with dark purple royal markings, it walks on all fours, breaks the sound barrier, and can spew out highly corrosive abyssal poison from its mouth!

Rabbit Guardian.

His legs became thick and powerful, and his hearing could detect any sound within a hundred miles. Once he locked onto a target, he could launch a thunderous attack with a jumping power that exceeded the limits of vision!

Chenlong Guard.

Its body is covered with a layer of fine, dark gold dragon scales, and it has wings on its back. It can summon a rain of corrosive energy filled with aberrations and pollution in mid-air!

The Serpent Guardian. Its lower body is completely transformed into a thick snake tail. It has no bones and can use its strange flexibility to coil and strangle its prey. Its eyes have the petrifying gaze of Medusa!

Wu Mawei.

Its lower body is the skeleton of a warhorse burning with nightmare fire, while its upper body retains a human form. It holds a death spear and its charging momentum is unstoppable!

Wei Yang Wei.

It looks the most harmless, covered in white downy hair, but those hairs are all parasitic worms that can live in the enemy's body and can suck the enemy's true energy and blood without them even realizing it!

Shenhou Wei.

Small and thin but extremely agile, possessing the Demon Eye that can see through all illusions and flaws in martial arts techniques, and able to mimic and unleash enemy martial arts techniques with distorted energy!

Rooster (酉) guards.

It has three pairs of brightly colored but foul-smelling wings on its back, and its shrieks can directly pollute and tear apart the enemy's mental sea!

Dog (戌) guards.

It possesses three distinct dog heads, and its sense of smell can track down any enemy hidden in spatial rifts. Wounds inflicted by its bites never heal, and it continuously lays eggs inside its body!

The Pig Guardian has transformed into a mountain of rotting flesh, possessing terrifying defensive capabilities, capable of devouring all energy attacks and reflecting them back at the opponent!

"No!!!"

Ji Wuyue's eyes instantly turned bloodshot!

These twelve Blood Shadow Guards were her trusted confidants whom she had painstakingly cultivated over decades!

Now, it has turned into a monster that is neither human nor ghost!

"Don't rush, it'll be your turn soon."

The man dragged his slightly weary steps to Ji Wuyue.

"By believing in our God, you can gain eternal life and infinite power..."

He was chanting ancient and obscure incantations from evil gods.

Then, he held up the royal crown with both hands and placed it on Ji Wuyue's head!

"Ji Wuyue, you should feel honored."

"To gain the approval of the Evil God and become the vessel for his descent." "In that ancient secret realm that is about to open, lies a treasure that our Evil God Cult has been plotting for hundreds of years!"

"Then you'll personally retrieve that item on behalf of the Evil God!"

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The moment Wang Mian put it on, countless black spikes pierced Ji Wuyue's skull and sank deep into her head!

A primal will filled with evil and pollution forcefully poured into his sea of ​​consciousness!

Ji Wuyue let out a shrill scream that sounded inhuman.

Her body began to change.

Under the infusion of the distorted aura, his snow-white hair instantly turned into a dazzling blood red, like fresh blood!

Her face turned pale and cold, and her eyes turned into a deep, dark purple abyss!

Black, sinister patterns, resembling ancient totems, appeared on his skin!

"boom!"

A terrifying pressure belonging to an evil god suddenly swept out! The aura on her body rose steadily, easily breaking through the bottleneck of the seventh-grade peak and directly soaring to the eighth-grade early stage!

Upon seeing this, a flash of wild joy crossed the beautiful man's pale face.

Originally, the precious S-grade [Evil God's Crown] was intended by the cult to be reserved for that kid named "Jiang Feng".

Jiang Feng's physique is the most perfect vessel.

However, the ancient secret realm was about to open, and Jiang Feng's current strength was too weak to enter the secret realm and seize that treasure.

They just happened to encounter Ji Wuyue, a peak seventh-grade cultivator with a solidified soul!

Facing the newly born vessel of the god, the man knelt heavily on one knee, placed his right hand on his chest, and shouted with a fanatical and respectful expression:

"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes the arrival of the Evil God!"

Ji Wuyue slowly lowered her head.

Her dark purple eyes coldly surveyed her hands, sensing the power within her body, which, though surging, was still negligible.

"Is that all there is to it?"

"My will has merged with this vessel, yet its compatibility is less than half? It barely reaches what you humans call the eighth rank?" Upon hearing this, the kneeling man broke out in a cold sweat and sheepishly lowered his head to explain, "My Lord Evil God, please calm down... Time is of the essence. This peak seventh-rank body is the most perfect vessel I can find at the moment."

"If it were anyone else, they would probably explode and die the moment they put on the crown."

Ji Wuyue gave him a cold glance.

"Fine."

"Eighth rank is barely enough."

"After all, it's just a cheap, disposable container."

……

Xingcheng Square.

"Bang!!!"

With a final, earth-shattering thud.

The monster's body collapsed rapidly like a deflated balloon, turning into a puddle of foul-smelling mud.

A tall, slender figure leaped out of the monster's ruptured abdomen and landed steadily on the ruins of the plaza. "Huff..."

Jiang Feng exhaled a long breath of stale air.

Although he was covered in the monster's slime, his eyes shone with an alarming brightness.

After absorbing the mutated aura of the flesh mountain monster, the immense energy instantly shattered the barrier of his internal realm!

Qi and blood flow like a dragon, true energy is as deep as an abyss!

"boom!"

Jiang Feng didn't even try to suppress it; he released his sixth-grade, seventh-star aura without reservation, which actually caused the black mist within dozens of meters around to shatter!

In just one battle, they jumped two stars!

Such a rocket-like breakthrough speed is simply unheard of!

"elder brother!!!"

Seeing Jiang Feng emerge unharmed, Shen Weilan's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Ignoring the foul-smelling slime on Jiang Feng's body, she suddenly threw herself into his arms, clinging tightly to his back. "You scared me to death... I thought... I thought I'd never see you again..."

The girl, who was usually as aloof as snow, was now crying with tears streaming down her face, and even her voice was trembling.

Jiang Feng's heart softened, and he reached out to gently stroke her soft hair, his eyes full of doting and tenderness.

"Silly girl, didn't I promise you that I would protect you no matter what? How could I bear to leave you alone?"

"Brother Jiang Feng! You're absolutely amazing!!!"

Xiao Xingye jumped up from the ground in excitement, his eyes filled with fervent admiration.

"Smash it from inside the monster's belly!"

"This is practically a god of war descending upon us!"

Qin Lie, Tie Shan, Luo Li, and the others, who were not far away, stared at Jiang Feng as if he were a monster, their mouths agape.

Their special abilities team was almost completely overwhelmed by this city-destroying monster, and nearly wiped out!

But Jiang Feng actually managed to penetrate deep into the monster's belly and instantly kill it all by himself?!

"What kind of monster is this kid?" Qin Lie swallowed hard, feeling like his worldview had been completely shattered.
