Starting with Peak Emperor Realm Cultivation!

Outside the Ziwei Domain, the Star Sea ran red with blood.

"Rumble!"

Not a single patch of Su Linxian's flesh remained intact.

The power of Quasi-Emperor laws rampaged through his body, every breath bringing the searing agony of broken bones grinding together.

Thirteen!

Thirteen Quasi-Emperor auras clung to him like shadows, chasing him from the heart of the Ziwei Domain all the way to the edge of this desolate Star Sea.

Behind him.

The ancestor of the Tai'e Sword Sect stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at him as though he were a dying ant.

"Su Linxian."

"A mere rogue cultivator, yet you dared lay your hands on an Emperor Weapon?"

His voice was quiet, yet it stirred the tides of the Star Sea, each word pressing down with crushing weight.

"Do you know what crime you've committed?"

Beside him, the Quasi-Emperor from the Chiyang Holy Land sneered. With a flick of his sleeve, billowing heat raised a sea of fire tens of thousands of feet high, sealing off every avenue of escape.

"A rootless wretch like you thinks he deserves to compete with us?"

He stepped forward, looking down from on high.

"The supreme treasures of heaven and earth have their rightful masters."

"You were born an orphan. After a hundred years of cultivation, you got lucky and clawed your way to the Supreme Realm. You should have stayed on your knees and behaved."

"Even lifting your head to look at the sky is overstepping your place."

Another Quasi-Emperor spoke, his voice as indifferent as frost. "Su Linxian, you were born unlucky. You can't blame anyone else."

"In this world, some things have had nothing to do with you since the day you were born."

"An Emperor Weapon is one."

"Dignity is another."

"And so is your life!"

Su Linxian leaned against a shattered stellar remnant behind him, his chest heaving violently.

"Cough, cough!"

Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth, falling drop by drop into the cold void.

"Motherfuckers..."

"A pack of old beasts."

He was a transmigrator!

A hundred years!

He had spent a hundred years in this world, enduring every fucking hardship, suffering every torment imaginable!

But in this fantasy world where the strong devoured the weak, he had no connections, no resources, and no backing.

He had fucking survived like a stray dog, scraping by in the cracks.

Clawing his way upward through gritted teeth!

At long last, he had reached the Supreme Realm.

After narrowly escaping death time and again, he had obtained an Emperor Weapon from the Primordial Secret Realm.

Then these bastards had come!

"Su Linxian."

Ancestor Tai'a spoke mildly, his expression calm.

"If you are willing to surrender the Emperor Weapon, I can spare your life."

"However..."

"Your cultivation must be crippled."

"From then on, you will live as a mortal and know your place."

"This is your only path to survival."

Su Linxian laughed.

Bloody foam filled his crooked smile, and his eyes shone with a frightening light.

"You lofty old dogs have chased me for thirteen years."

"You steal what's mine and demand my life!"

"Just because I have no backing?"

At that.

Su Linxian suddenly pushed himself upright.

Boom!

The remaining supreme power in his body erupted.

"Fine."

"I fucking accept it!"

"But this Emperor Weapon... you want it?"

"Then I'll make damn sure you never get it!!"

Su Linxian whipped his head around, looking toward the Emperor Burial Star Abyss, where chaos churned.

Soul burning!!

He turned into a streak of light and hurtled toward it at astonishing speed!

At the sight, the pupils of every Quasi-Emperor present contracted.

"This is bad!"

"The little bastard is trying to enter the forbidden zone!!"

"Damn it, stop him!"

"Su Linxian! Don't you dare!?"

The Emperor Burial Star Abyss was a place even the emperors of the Ziwei Domain dared not enter!

Behind him, the Quasi-Emperors' expressions changed drastically.

Giant hands formed from laws snatched frantically at him.

But it was already too late!

"Bang!"

The realm barrier was smashed apart!

Su Linxian had already vanished into the chaos.

"Has he gone mad?" The Quasi-Emperors stopped outside, exchanging looks.

"It's a forbidden zone of death. Even we Quasi-Emperors dare not set foot inside!"

"How could a mere Supreme Realm cultivator like him dare..."

"Hmph!" Semi-Emperor Cangyan furrowed his brows and bellowed angrily.

"I told you long ago not to push him too hard!"

"Now look what's happened!"

"Not one of us got the Emperor Weapon!"

"How am I supposed to answer to my clan's emperor when I return!?"

Endless darkness swept over him.

An icy chill of death poured in from every direction.

Fuck!

Why the hell!

I'm a transmigrator.

Why don't I have a damn system!

With all five senses sealed off, Su Linxian cursed nonstop.

The darkness deepened, and his consciousness began to blur.

Just then—

[Ding!]

[Binding the Invincible Super Villain System...]

[Binding successful!]

[Congratulations, host! The system is now officially activated!]

I really am dying.

I'm even hallucinating now...

Huh?

Wait!

As though realizing something, Su Linxian abruptly opened his eyes.

He stared at the sight before him, momentarily stunned.

"It really is a system!"

"You bastard system!!!"

"A hundred years!! I've been in this world for a whole hundred years, and you only show up now! Where the hell were you before!"

"I'm in a forbidden zone! A forbidden zone! Waiting to die! What fucking good does binding to me now do!"

[Ding! The system has detected that its master is in an extremely dire situation and offers its sincerest apologies!]

[Issuing one "Desperate Survival · Beyond-Specification Compensation Gift Pack"!]

[Compensation contents are as follows:]

[Emperor-level cultivation (peak) ×1]

[Unsurpassed backing across all heavens and the cosmos ×1]

Peak emperor cultivation!?

Joy lit up Su Linxian's face.

"You bast... Dad!"

"Is this for real?"

[Yes, dear, it's real~]

Su Linxian's eyes blazed.

Without the slightest hesitation.

"Use it!!"

The instant those words left his lips.

"Rumble!!"

The entire Emperor Burial Star Abyss exploded.

Boundless chaos churned wildly, and death energy that had congealed for tens of millions of years roiled like boiling water.

Deep within the void, hundreds of millions of lightning bolts erupted out of nowhere, each more terrifying than a Quasi-Emperor's full-powered strike.

Endless lightning scoured Su Linxian's body.

"Rumble—"

Su Linxian stood at the very center of the forbidden zone as all of heaven and earth shook violently.

The chaos beneath his feet split into an abyss tens of thousands of feet deep. Golden laws of the emperor's Dao gushed from its depths like ten thousand dragons surging out of the sea!

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

His powerful heartbeat resounded like an ancient bell, while the cracking of his reshaping bones echoed throughout the forbidden zone!

Every shattered bone pieced itself back together, every inch of flesh regenerated wildly, and dense emperor Dao patterns emerged across his body, dazzling as a river of stars pouring down.

His cultivation also soared by leaps and bounds at that moment!

First level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm, fourth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm...

Ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor Realm...

Su Linxian's eyes blazed.

His pupils became two golden suns, their radiance piercing the chaos and tearing to shreds the mist that had shrouded the forbidden zone for tens of millions of years!

His supreme Dao fruit cracked inch by inch, golden light spilling ever more brilliantly from the fissures.

Crack.

The Dao fruit shattered completely.

An emperor Dao fruit the size of a fist, jet-black yet threaded with golden patterns, took shape and floated at the center of his soul sea!

The instant the Dao fruit formed.

The chaos throughout the Emperor Burial Star Abyss contracted frantically. All its death energy and forbidden power surged into his body like water drawn into the maw of a great whale!

The ground of the forbidden zone began to collapse.

The void began to twist.

Hundreds of millions of golden laws of the emperor's Dao erupted from Su Linxian's body, piercing heaven and earth and connecting yin and yang.

Boom!!!

A golden pillar of light shot skyward from the crown of his head, thrusting into the firmament and piercing the barriers of all heavens and myriad worlds!

As thick as a mountain range and dazzlingly brilliant, the pillar set the Star Sea boiling wherever it passed. Even the distant Ziwei Domain could see it clearly.

The Emperor Realm!
