Chapter 1

"Look!! They're coming out!"

At the edge of an ancient and desolate abyss, countless disciples of various sects trembled with excitement, shouting in surprise.

Two figures walked side by side from the depths of the abyss.

One of them was a young disciple in white, with an ordinary appearance.

The other was a woman in phoenix robes, wearing a purple-gold imperial crown!

The woman had skin like water, a face that could topple a kingdom, and a demeanor that exuded the authority of one who has long held a high position.

However, at this moment, her face was slightly pale, giving her an inexplicable air of fragility, evoking pity.

"Empress of the Demon Path, Yue Qiuci!!"

"She's really not dead! Damn it, who is that young man...?"

"He is the young master of the Xuanjian Sect, Chu Yang!!"

"Who would have thought these two would collude together."

"Yue Qiuci is heavily injured! Everyone, this is our chance to eliminate the demon and defend the righteous path. Let's act together and slay the Demon Empress!!"

A group of sect prodigies shouted in anger, their faces filled with fear and hatred.

The woman in phoenix robes frowned slightly and turned to the young man beside her, saying, "Young Master Chu, you should leave with peace of mind. This great favor, Qiuci... will never forget."

At this moment, her eyes were extremely clear and resolute.

Chu Yang took a deep breath and stepped forward, soaring into the distant sky.

"Stop him! We can't let this traitor of the righteous path escape!"

The prodigies were agitated, their bodies surrounded by spiritual light, ready to intercept Chu Yang.

However, at this moment, Yue Qiuci suddenly extended a jade-like hand, pressing down on the crowd.

"Rumble!"

A terrifying demonic aura descended, shattering mountains and destroying ancient forests.

Several leading sect disciples were instantly crushed into blood mist, their bodies shattered.

"Swallow!"

The originally angry crowd suddenly froze, no longer daring to make a move.

Yue Qiuci took a step forward,

rushing toward the crowd.

Colluding with the Empress of the Demon Path was an unforgivable crime.

If these sect disciples survived and left this place today, Chu Yang's fate would be extremely tragic.

Therefore, from the moment the two figures walked out of the abyss side by side, Yue Qiuci had no intention of letting anyone go.

"Hum!"

Demonic light radiated in the world, eroding all paths.

With Yue Qiuci's strength, the sect disciples before her were like lambs, ready to be slaughtered.

"Master, it's him."

At the same time, on a distant mountain peak, a black-clothed young man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the chaotic scene below. His face, as beautiful as jade, showed no emotion.

The young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old, had a handsome face, sparkling eyes, and exuded a noble and flawless aura.

He was called Ling Xiao, the young master of the Wandaomozong sect and the direct descendant of the ancient Ling clan.

The Tianman Five Domains, the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Wastelands, and the Holy State.

In the four wastelands, the spiritual energy was thin, and the strongest beings were merely at the Breaking Illusion stage.

However, Ling Xiao's family sect was a renowned supreme path in the Holy State, capable of overwhelming any force in the four wastelands.

Of course, more importantly, the current Ling Xiao was not the original owner but a穿越者 (穿越者 means "穿越者" in Chinese, which translates to "time traveler" in English).

Just as the two broke through the domain barrier, Ling Xiao accidentally traveled through time and awakened a system, a golden finger, that all time travelers possess.

However!!

Unlike ordinary protagonists, the system Ling Xiao awakened was an antagonist system, one that... could plunder destiny points.

In other words, he had become the common enemy of all those with destiny in the story.

The opening was a hellish chapter!!

In his previous life as a third-rate writer, Ling Xiao's only reliance was the numerous transformations granted by the system and his understanding of the plot.

The current scene was very familiar to him, and the 500 destiny points on Chu Yang made him extremely covetous.

At this moment, a black-clothed, emaciated figure with a gaunt and extremely sinister face stood behind him.

"Empress of the Demon Path?"

Ling Xiao's eyes were clear, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Colluding with the Empress of the Demon Path, being suppressed in a certain forbidden area, and becoming invincible in the world?

Brilliant.

However, unlike what Ling Xiao imagined, he did not sense the aura he wanted from the Empress.

Clearly, the thing he was looking for was not in her possession. ???

"Master, should we act and capture her?"

The old man in black robes had a cold gaze, his eyes glowing with dark light.

To him, the mere Northern Wasteland strong ones were like ants, not worth mentioning.

"Wait a bit longer."

Ling Xiao shook his head, watching Chu Yang fly away, his eyes filled with contemplation.

According to his guess, this destined one would soon face trials and be rejected by the righteous path of the world.

At that time, he would surely awaken new talents and rise to prominence.

However!!

Since Ling Xiao was here, this destiny... would likely be shattered.

What puzzled Ling Xiao slightly was what crime he would be suppressed for by the sect.

After all, with Yue Qiuci's strength, it would not take much effort to slaughter all the sect disciples present.

Therefore, the collusion with the Empress of the Demon Path had become a secret.

Interesting, it seems the plot here will have some twists.

Just as Ling Xiao was deep in thought, several figures appeared in the distant void.

The leader among them was a woman in green robes, with a face like a painting and a cold, solitary demeanor.

However, her realm was only at the Spirit Void stage, not particularly strong.

But!!

Just like Chu Yang, Ling Xiao also saw a thread of destiny light on her.

Four hundred destiny points, another destined one!

In the Tianman land, cultivators were divided into nine realms.

Body Cultivation, True Essence, Taihe, Spirit Void, Awakening Spirit, Soul Sea, Xuanqing, Breaking Illusion, Ascending Immortal.

Especially the Spirit Void realm, it was a turning point in cultivation.

Many people were trapped in this realm, making no progress throughout their lives.

"It's the Xuanjian Sect people!!"

"Ye Qingchan!! It's Ye Qingchan, the daughter of the Xuanjian Sect Master!!"

As the green-robed girl descended from the sky, the faces of the sect disciples instantly showed deep hatred.

"What happened, everyone?"

Ye Qingchan frowned, looking at the distant figure in phoenix robes, her eyes trembling.

Empress of the Demon Path, Yue Qiuci!!

This woman's strength truly stood at the pinnacle of the Northern Wasteland.

Not to mention them, even if all the sect masters gathered, they might not be her match!

However!!

At this moment, Ye Qingchan could sense that her aura was somewhat unstable, indicating that she was heavily injured.

"Don't pretend! Chu Yang colluded with the Empress of the Demon Path. I see that your Xuanjian Sect wants to eliminate us and dominate the Northern Wasteland!!"

"What?"

Ye Qingchan's face turned pale, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

At this moment, what she was thinking was not why Chu Yang colluded with the Empress of the Demon Path, but... this might be a plot against the Xuanjian Sect!!

Someone had deliberately set up a scheme, making the Northern Wasteland sects believe that the Xuanjian Sect colluded with the Demon Path, thus justifying the destruction of the Sword Sect!
