Reincarnator Xiao Yan Enters the Fray, Infinite Terror

"Who exactly are you?!"

After hearing Little Dragon Girl’s story, Emperor Shi Tian, disguised as an Under Heaven Society servant, could no longer remain calm.

Immortality was his greatest secret. He believed himself unique, the only god in the world.

Thus, he looked down upon the entire mortal realm with arrogance, because no matter how powerful someone was, they could not withstand the erosion of time and would ultimately turn to dust.

So what if Wu Wudi was a practitioner of the Ten Strong Martial Arts? He had still died in the end. No matter how defiant an ordinary person was, when their time came, they had to leave.

Emperor Shi Tian admitted that Wu Wudi’s talent was monstrous. After cultivating for only a few decades, he had been able to beat him senseless. But Emperor Shi Tian could live forever.

If he could not outfight him, could he not outlast him?

He was still alive now, while Wu Wudi and his entire family had completely declined. Who still remembered that there had once been a peerless genius who created the Ten Strong Martial Arts?

Of course, Emperor Shi Tian himself did not know that Wu Wudi had not actually died.

There was no great problem for a powerful martial artist to live past a hundred. In order to break all the curses of the Great Evil King, Wu Wudi had faked his death and waited in secret for an opportunity to lift the curse! It was precisely because Emperor Shi Tian had heard no news of Wu Wudi for decades that he had dared to enter the martial world again.

But now there was someone who knew his past, including Wu Wudi’s past, extremely well?

This made Emperor Shi Tian feel unsafe, and fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Half a month ago, Little Dragon Girl had suddenly appeared at the Under Heaven Society and instantly killed Xiong Ba, the Lord of the Tianxia Association.

Rumors claimed that Little Dragon Girl was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman descended into the mortal world, and every member of the Under Heaven Society had submitted to her.

But in Emperor Shi Tian’s eyes, what Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman? There were no fairies at all. Even if there were, the only one could be himself, a god.

"Guess."

Little Dragon Girl’s expression was as still as an ancient well, without any excess emotion, as if she were speaking of something entirely unrelated to herself.

Emperor Shi Tian felt that Little Dragon Girl was toying with him, yet no matter how he looked at her, she did not seem to be joking.

This drove him mad! Bang! Suddenly, the servant’s disguise exploded apart, revealing Emperor Shi Tian’s figure. Their appearances had not differed much to begin with; he simply had an extra mask.

"Hehe, let me see what you, this Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman, are made of."

"Ten Thousand Blades Pierce the Clouds…"

Emperor Shi Tian gathered his true qi, which transformed into icy blades in the blink of an eye. They tore through space and slashed toward Little Dragon Girl.

Little Dragon Girl bent a finger and lightly pointed. A thread of mysterious power shot forth, and the spatial ice blades shattered inch by inch before vanishing.

"You’ve got some skill!"

"Emperor Heaven Mad Lightning!"

Emperor Shi Tian sneered and swept his arms. The true qi around him surged like rivers, and the vast, boundless energy transformed into black lightning that shot out under his control.

The entire Limitless Pavilion trembled as if it were about to collapse. Under such terrifying energy, cracks spread across the surrounding objects. Wherever the black lightning passed, it destroyed everything in its way.

Little Dragon Girl was slightly surprised. At Emperor Shi Tian’s level, martial arts were actually no different from those of Cultivators.

However, to avoid destroying the Limitless Pavilion, Little Dragon Girl turned into a bolt of lightning and flew out the window.

"Where do you think you’re going?!"

"Jiejiejie!"

Emperor Shi Tian thought Little Dragon Girl was no match for him. He immediately used the Carefree Ascension Step and pursued her. At its greatest speed, this movement technique could even surpass the speed of sound and reach Mach 1!

The commotion from their battle was also sensed by the other experts of the Under Heaven Society.

Nie Feng, Bu Jingyun, and Xiong Ba all appeared.

They looked at Emperor Shi Tian, surrounded by lightning in the sky, and Little Dragon Girl, dressed in white and untouched by worldly dust.

Xiong Ba’s eyes flickered uncertainly as he thought, This man’s true qi has turned into lightning. He resembles a Demon God capable of destroying heaven and earth. He is truly terrifying! How did this old man not know that such a powerful expert existed in this world?

Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun stared intensely.

"That man is overflowing with sinister energy. He probably isn’t a good person, Cloud Senior Brother. I wonder if Dragon Girl can handle him," Nie Feng could not help saying.

"Dragon Girl is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. How could these petty vermin possibly compare to her? Dragon Girl need not even act. My grandfather could cut him down himself," Bu Jingyun said with his arms folded, his face cold.

"Cough, cough. Cloud Senior Brother, confidence is a good thing." Nie Feng’s mouth twitched.

The true qi fluctuations emitted by that Masked Man alone made his heart pound. If they fought, he feared he would be taken down in fewer than ten exchanges.

"Why aren’t you running anymore?"

Emperor Shi Tian used his true qi to stand in the air, his feet never touching the ground, giving off an unfathomable air.

"There is no need," Little Dragon Girl said.

"Hehe, they say you are the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman. Today, I will take a fairy as my maidservant."

As he spoke, Emperor Shi Tian attacked again. Emperor Heaven Mad Lightning turned into countless bolts of lightning that surrounded Little Dragon Girl from every direction.

Little Dragon Girl waved her hand. A faint breeze rose with her sleeve, ripples spread through space, and the black lightning instantly dissipated without a trace.

"What?!"

Emperor Shi Tian’s pupils shrank slightly. Just now, she had clearly fled because she could not withstand his attack, so how had she now so effortlessly neutralized it?

But it did not matter. Emperor Shi Tian had lived for thousands of years and knew far too many martial arts. With a casual wave, tens of millions of sword qi erupted and stabbed toward Little Dragon Girl like a torrential downpour.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

Little Dragon Girl swung out her palm, and that invisible mysterious power once again broke Emperor Shi Tian’s Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

"? That’s impossible!" Emperor Shi Tian scratched his head, unable to understand what method she was using to repeatedly dissolve his attacks.

"You have attacked so many times. Why not try receiving one of my moves?"

Little Dragon Girl raised her hand and gently patted forward. Her Magical Power circulated within her body. The clouds in the night sky churned, and a white jade palm dozens of meters long descended from above!

The white jade palm resembled the Hand of God. It was flawless and lustrous, with Ice Muscle Jade Bones.

Yet it contained energy that made one’s heart tremble. It seemed that beneath this palm’s power, all things would be annihilated.

Emperor Shi Tian wanted to use the Carefree Ascension Step to evade, but an unsurpassable force had locked onto him, leaving him unable to advance or retreat.

If that palm struck him, Emperor Shi Tian felt he would surely die, even with Phoenix Blood.

At the critical moment, Emperor Shi Tian used a technique he rarely employed as he thought, Seven Nothing Desperate Realm!

In an instant, Little Dragon Girl’s palm crashed down. The heavens and earth shook, the ground shattered, and an enormous palm print appeared in the vast Under Heaven Society plaza as dust filled the sky!

Emperor Shi Tian’s figure vanished, seemingly having died beneath that palm.

"Is he dead?!" Xiong Ba’s gaze was sharp as he stared fixedly at the huge pit formed by the palm print.

"As expected of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman!"

Bu Jingyun thought, If I could obtain her true teachings, personally killing Xiong Ba would take no effort at all.

"Jiejiejie!"

"Do you think I’m dead?"

"Hehehe, I am a god. How could I be killed by mortals like you?!"

"I am undying and indestructible!"

From within the pit, spheres of light the size of eyeballs flew out. They gathered together in an unbelievable form, slowly converging into a humanoid shape before finally becoming Emperor Shi Tian! This sight surprised Little Dragon Girl.

The Seven Nothing Desperate Realm was one of Emperor Shi Tian’s ultimate techniques. It could turn his body into a quantum state and allow it to freely reassemble, rendering him immune to all attacks.

In other words, at the final second, Emperor Shi Tian had changed his own form and thus escaped the fatal strike.

Moreover, this technique was clearly an overpowered, heaven-defying bug. Transforming into a quantum state was something even low- and mid-level Cultivators in certain cultivation worlds could not accomplish.

After all, early-stage Cultivators were indeed not particularly accomplished in cultivating their physical bodies. Their bodies were fragile, and they might even be ambushed by ordinary people.

Seemingly sensing Little Dragon Girl’s confusion, the Martial Arts Emperor System explained, "Within the martial artist system of the Wind and Cloud World, being able to reach this level is extraordinarily rare—practically impossible."

"Then why can he?" Little Dragon Girl asked.

"Phoenix Blood. As a divine beast, the Phoenix possesses inherently unimaginable abilities. Emperor Shi Tian absorbed the Origin of Phoenix Blood, so he naturally gained some of the Phoenix’s special abilities.

"Emperor Shi Tian can no longer be considered a pure human. His martial arts were all created based on the properties of Phoenix Blood and possess a certain degree of divinity.

"Of course, that is all. Transforming himself into a quantum state means that, in a sense, he has already crossed the threshold of grasping the laws of heaven and earth and the rules of the Universe.

"Unfortunately, his horizons are limited. Aside from reassembling his physical body, he has been unable to develop any special abilities.

"Host, if you can obtain Phoenix Blood, perhaps you can gain similar traits as well. It would greatly benefit your cultivation."

"Phoenix Blood? Don’t you have it, System?" Little Dragon Girl asked.

"…" The Martial Arts Emperor System fell silent.

No, even if I do have it, you can’t keep fleecing me like this.

Why not use something that is readily available?

At this moment, Little Dragon Girl no longer wished to continue tangling with Emperor Shi Tian.

With a palm strike from afar, terrifying Magical Power transformed into a True Essence Great Hand that smashed Emperor Shi Tian’s physical body apart.

Although Emperor Shi Tian’s body shattered, it still transformed into a quantum state, preparing to recover and reassemble itself.

"Seal!"

Little Dragon Girl spoke softly. Under the control of her Primordial Spirit, this stretch of heaven and earth seemed to fall under her command. The particles of quantum-state Emperor Shi Tian froze and could no longer reassemble! At the same time, a golden phantom of a Primordial Spirit emerged. It was Emperor Shi Tian’s Primordial Spirit leaving his body. He roared in shock and fury, "What did you do?!"

"I merely stopped you from recovering," Little Dragon Girl said.

"Ah! Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Shi Tian let out a crazed roar.

He directly launched a Nascent Soul Attack, using the Extreme God Tribulation from the Sacred Heart Four Tribulations.

Very few martial artists cultivated the Primordial Spirit, nor could they manage it unless they were exceptionally gifted.

Thus, this move was an unsolvable and deadly attack against most martial artists.

Unfortunately, Little Dragon Girl was not a martial artist but a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. Though she had been directly elevated through the System’s power, she was still at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Facing Emperor Shi Tian’s Nascent Soul Attack, a white glow burst from above Little Dragon Girl’s head. Within the dazzling white light appeared a palm-sized chibi Little Dragon Girl. This was Little Dragon Girl’s Nascent Soul. Though small, it was condensed from the entirety of a Cultivator’s Origin.

The Nascent Soul Little Dragon Girl’s eyes flashed with golden light, instantly piercing through Emperor Shi Tian’s Primordial Spirit.

Emperor Shi Tian suffered a heavy blow. His Primordial Spirit dimmed like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to go out at any moment.

Little Dragon Girl withdrew the spatial restraint. Emperor Shi Tian seized the opportunity to reform his body and return to human form, his Primordial Spirit returning to its proper place. Then his entire body fell from the sky to the ground, his aura weak.

An injury to the Primordial Spirit was far more terrifying than damage to the physical body. Emperor Shi Tian’s realm directly fell, and more than half his cultivation was crippled. He could only cling to life.

Little Dragon Girl slowly descended from the sky and looked calmly down at Emperor Shi Tian. There was not a trace of killing intent on her body.

"Dragon Girl, I’ll kill this petty villain for you!"

Bu Jingyun rushed over, swinging his arms as he instantly launched the Cloud Dispersing Palm. True qi gathered in his palms like surging waves.

"Stop," Little Dragon Girl said.

Emperor Shi Tian was terrified half to death. His current physical condition had fallen to rock bottom. He did not even know whether he could withstand a single palm from Bu Jingyun. Even if he did, he would not be far from death.

Only then did Bu Jingyun withdraw his hand. He looked down at Emperor Shi Tian with disdain in his eyes.

What kind of sneaky rat dared disturb the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman?

"You just said that you are a god?" Little Dragon Girl asked.

Emperor Shi Tian gave a miserable laugh. "Hahaha, I am indeed a god. But compared to Your Excellency, I am nothing.

"I have lived for over two thousand years and seen countless prodigies and monsters. Among them, Wu Wudi was the most formidable.

"But compared to you, he is not worth mentioning.

"Since ancient times, the victor becomes king and the loser becomes a bandit. Kill me or torture me, I leave it entirely to you."

Seeing this, Little Dragon Girl had not intended to kill Emperor Shi Tian. But seeing him appear to have attained enlightenment and no longer care about life or death, she suddenly wanted to grant his wish. "Then kill him."

"Alright!"

Bu Jingyun cracked his knuckles and once again used the Cloud Dispersing Palm, his killing intent soaring! Emperor Shi Tian had originally wanted to save himself a little face. How could he have expected Little Dragon Girl to be so straightforward, or perhaps simply immune to such theatrics?

He did not want to die. He had not had enough fun yet.

Without the slightest hesitation, Emperor Shi Tian crawled up, knelt down, and burst into tears. "Don’t kill me, don’t kill me. Fairy, I am useful! This little one admits that I spoke a little too loudly just now. Give me a chance, give me a chance to turn over a new leaf."

"Dragon Girl, not one word out of this villain’s mouth is true. He says he has lived for over two thousand years? Why doesn’t he just fly into the sky? Killing him would settle everything once and for all." Bu Jingyun stood ready to strike.

"Is that so?"

Little Dragon Girl waved her hand and sealed Emperor Shi Tian’s cultivation. "Lock him up for now."

"You got lucky. Hmph." Bu Jingyun said.

"Whew!"

Emperor Shi Tian let out a breath of relief, but when he felt all the true qi in his body disappear, he immediately understood that his life was no longer in his own hands.

Still, he could endure humiliation and bide his time. One day, he would regain his freedom.

Little Dragon Girl had naturally not spared Emperor Shi Tian because she was moved by his clumsy acting.

She planned to slowly extract Emperor Shi Tian’s Phoenix Blood and see whether she would gain some of the divine beast Phoenix’s traits after fusing with it.

After all, the various abilities Phoenix Blood had produced in Emperor Shi Tian were truly incredible!


At the same time, in the Doupo World.

Wutan City, Xiao Family.

On the back mountain, a young man in black was cursing loudly, railing against this damned fate that had first lifted him above the clouds to be admired, then thrown him down into the dust to be mocked and insulted.

The young man in black was named Xiao Yan. He had transmigrated from Blue Star, catching the transmigrator train and becoming one among countless transmigrators.

He had become a Dou Zhe at the age of nine. With such talent, barring any mishaps, he would surely become a Dou Huang in the future, strengthen his family, and perhaps even have beauties in both arms and countless female confidantes.

Unfortunately, those beautiful dreams had been ruthlessly shattered three years ago. For some unknown reason, his Dou Qi had continuously disappeared. He had fallen from a Dou Zhe to the ninth stage of Dou Qi, then the eighth stage…

At first, he thought there was something wrong with his cultivation. Yet no matter how he checked, nothing was wrong. But after every cultivation session, his Dou Qi would vanish into thin air. Having received a modern education, Xiao Yan naturally understood that energy was conserved. Energy could not disappear for no reason; it could only be transferred. But where had it gone? This continued for three years, and perhaps heaven pitied him, allowing his Dou Qi to remain at the third stage of Dou Qi.

But in his view, it would have been better if it all vanished entirely.

This had made him a laughingstock and the disgrace of his family.

After all, who could bear being given hope for cultivation, only to become trash again?

"Heavens, fuck you and your ancestors!" Xiao Yan roared once more, venting his dissatisfaction.

"Little…"

Suddenly, an aged voice rang out, but before it could finish speaking, it came to an abrupt stop.

Xiao Yan revealed an incredulous expression. Before his eyes appeared a glowing screen that did not belong to this era, with several large words displayed upon it.
