ARRIVING AT THE Darklord City, Lin Diyu was feeling rejuvenated. His body appeared to have undergone some changes. Even his cultivation was continuously exploding like butter. It must have had something to do with the dark aura that invaded his dantian.

"Master, can you check my condition? It seems like there's foreign black-tinted blood—"

"Don't worry. It's the bloodline I somehow got from Da Sishen. It's the bloodline of Thanatos. Although you didn't reach a higher realm, owning his bloodline can give you the ability to perceive the rule of death."

"What?" Lin Diyu's eyes constricted. "Rule of death?"

Yang Lujia nodded. "Yes, look around you."

Lin Diyu didn't wait for his master to instruct him on how to do it. He, without difficulty, circulated the black blood and concentrated it in his eyes. "I can see the black lines of other cultivators' bodies. There are some who are on the brink of death because of some diseases. It also feels like I can kill any of them if I achieve a higher realm."

Saying this, his cultivation realm gradually blew up!

1st Stage of the Human Ascension Realm!

2nd Stage of the Human Ascension Realm!

5th Stage of the Human Ascension Realm!

6th Stage of the Human Ascension Realm!

Peak Stage of the Human Ascension Realm!

1st Stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!

As he reached the realm of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, Lin Diyu's body throbbed. The skies above the city produced growling sounds of thunder, as if at any moment, heavenly lightning would strike down on the city.

Yang Lujia indifferently stared at the lightning that was about to strike his disciple, isolating the space around them so one could notice their presence. He stared up at the sky, then said to his first disciple: "You don't have to worry. It's just the thunder tribulation after reaching the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Just stay put. Let your master do the thing."

Yang Lujia's eyes turned purple as his gaze landed on the skies, saying: "Go back. He is my disciple. You are not worthy of baptizing him with your weak lightning."

"Huh?" Lin Diyu was dumbstruck. Noticing that his cultivation realm was still rising, he sat on the ground in the middle of the city street. His cultivation realm only stopped rising when he reached the 5th Stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm!

In the small world where Long Guang was sleeping, the whole small world was trembling. After sleeping for ten years inside the small world, Long Guang's body became that of a ten-year-old child. What frightened Yang Lujia was Long Guang's cultivation realm.

Long Guang actually caught up with his senior brother in the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Although this child was only at the 1st Stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, according to the system, his combat power could leap through a major realm. In other words, Long Guang can fight someone at the 1st Stage of the Mahayana Emperor Realm.

It had to be known that Lin Diyu's combat power couldn't reach the 5th Stage of the Tribulation Realm, only the 1st Stage of the Mahayana Emperor Realm. To sum up, Long Guang's cultivation was as strong as his senior brother's. Knowing all this information popping inside his mind, Yang Lujia's face turned blank. He helplessly sighed afterward.

"Diyu, you have to work harder," he whispered to himself.

"Master, you called?"

"Nothing."

"Okay."

"..."

On the other hand, the City Lord, Zhou Kang, was bewildered by the thunder tribulation that was about to descend but unexpectedly turned back and fled, as if it had seen a terrible enemy.

"Investigate this matter," he said to his right-hand man. "There's something strange happening in the five realms recently. We couldn't slack off a bit. Otherwise, we'll be wronged, or worse, destroyed by the other realms."

"Yes, City Lord Zhou."

Continuing their journey after ten days, arriving at the Devil's Den, Yang Lujia was speechless with all the array formations constructed by the devils. These demons actually knew about array formations. He thought the demons' motto was the opposite of his. According to what he knew from Earth, in novels, demons don't hide. They'd even rampantly kill other cultivators.

Due to the array formations, Yang Lujia didn't dare be complacent. He stood before the array formations. "If the demons thought no one could pierce through their high-level array formations, then they're wrong."

Lin Diyu's face was blank. Unknowingly, he stepped onto the grounds where the array formations were set up. Seeing his surroundings change into a bloodbath, into a war where he was one of the soldiers, he was confused.

A while before, all the demons in the Devil's Den were inside their main hall, conducting a meeting.

"Den Master, the righteous sects are getting rampant in Da Sishen where in fact, they don't have any right to stay here at all. This is the Realm of Death! This should be our place! We should be the owners of this place!" An elder of the Devil's Den expressed his troubles.

"Yes, Den Master!" another elder seconded. "All of them are getting rampant, killing our own disciples because of us killing others to supplement our cultivation!"

"That's true! One time, I encountered a powerhouse from the Sacred Den. He ruthlessly cut off one of my arms. Until now, it was so corrupted by their holy qi that I couldn't regenerate it!"

"There's also that genius from their den, Sheng Ao! He's so ruthless against those whose auras were contaminated with ours! That kid was so strong! He's actually at the God King Realm! After only a few years, he unknowingly achieved this stage!"

"I also heard of him. It was said that he was a Son of Buddha. I didn't know if this was true, though. He was originally from the Realm of Spacetime, Da Shikong. I didn't know why he was here!"

"Fuck! This is so frustrating!"

It was at this time that the Den Master slowly stood up. "Someone is trying to breach our den's array formation. But he isn't someone from the righteous sects or from that Sacred Den. His bloodline..." His eyes flashed a glint of surprise and greed. "His bloodline is so strong. Could this be my only way to breakthrough from the God Emperor Stage?"

The Den Master knew he had been at the peak of the God King Realm for a hundred years, but he couldn't break through because he was limited by his talent. This person who tried to breach their array formation actually had this bloodline that could raise his aptitude.

"Diyu!" Yang Lujia's forehead darkened at his disciple's actions. "You low IQ-ed bastard!"

"Master called me?" Lin Diyu heard his master's voice, but he couldn't tell where it came from.

"You bastard!" Due to his anger, Yang Lujia wasn't able to control his power and erupted. No matter what he'd do, he was already exposed by the other party, so he might as well fight with them. He was certain of how strong his enemies were this time. However, he knew that he and his disciples could escape quickly if the situation got worse.

Yang Lujia lightly stomped on the ground. Unaware of what he did, the entire Da Sishen shook. Every cultivator, even those whose cultivation reached the God Emperor Realm, was shaken by the impact!

The array formations around the Devil's Den were blown away as the ground around him gradually cracked. Witnessing his strength, Yang Lujia himself was dumbfounded.

"Huh? That was only a light stomp, though?" Yang Lujia then erased such a thought and turned his gaze towards the large Devil's Den. It was actually as large as the empire of the Holy Flood Empire in area size. Coupled with the death-wrapped disciples, it looked like the Demonic Flood Empire. But it had no stalls or restaurants, only some exquisitely shining but black-tinted halls and establishments.

At the sight of this, Yang Lujia didn't dare to slack. He directly raised his hand: "Space Distortion Scripture, first level..."

A barrier around the Devil's Den immediately cloaked the whole place. Cracks in space began to emerge. This sight frightened the disciples of the Devil's Den. Even the Den Master and the elders had their whole bodies trembling at this sight.

"May I know who the senior is?"

When the disciples heard this voice, they were delighted. Their mighty Den Master was finally here.

"You don't need to know my name," Yang Lujia spoke, insulating himself from the eyes of his enemies.

Still, the Den Master politely transmitted a question across the entire place: "What wrong did we do that the senior had to personally get rid of us?"

"Don't play like you're weak. Let me tell you, I know you're from the other realms. You are as strong as those people there. Don't trick me with your Peak Stage cultivation at the God King Realm!"

The Den Master was speechless. His only thoughts were: "How come senior said that I came from another realm? Did I come from another realm? I was born here into a poor family. How can the senior say this?"

Yang Lujia then repeated what he said before: "Space Distortion Scripture, first level, commence!"

Hearing this, the Den Master's eyes shrank, and the whole den's space contained even more cracks.

As Yang Lujia fisted his hand, silence reigned over the whole place. Everyone in the area disappeared, including the buildings. Only the pool of blood that the demon cultivators accumulated throughout their years of cultivating remained. Everything else was gone. They were swept away by Yang Lujia's force and disintegrated into microscopic particles. Not even bacteria could compete with how small their body pieces had become.

Lin Diyu, who saw the entire process, had his mouth agape. "Master..."

"It's your fault, you low-IQ-ed bastard."

"..."

"Fortunately, they have no other powerhouses. Let's move faster. Otherwise, if we are careless, who knows they have other backups?"

"Master, you can just plunder their pool of blood, right? Earlier, it seemed like they couldn't sense our presence?"

Yang Lujia came to a realization and nodded. "Yeah, you're right. We might have been able to do it that way. You're not that stupid after all. Next time, we'll do it your way."

"..."

Seeing his disciple's face twitching madly, Yang Lujia was surprised. "What happened? Your face looks ugly all of a sudden."

"..."
