[Fantasy • No Romance • Decisive Protagonist • Intelligent Villains]

A young man bearing a hidden secret rises swiftly in a turbulent age. Armed with nothing but a single sword, he becomes the nightmare of countless people.

In that year, immortality perished, and apocalypse took root.

In that year, Zhuangzi said, “Let Heaven and Earth be the coffin, and Time the unbroken wall.”

In that year, a man-made catastrophe destroyed countless homes.

In that year, the Gregorian calendar was replaced by a new era.

In that year, he brought down a city with a single strike.

...

Who was it that possessed the imperial noble, the long-armed ape?

Who hid that artifact atop the world?

Who betrayed humanity, and who saved it?

With dominion over the four seas, his hand blotted out the sky.

He crushed all beneath him, undying, eternal.

All of it... waits to be revealed.

In the Age of Dharma Decline, all magical arts have vanished, and cultivating the Dao is harder than ascending to heaven.

Zhao Shan, a great demonic master in his past life, is reborn in 1990s Hong Kong. He discovers it is still an era where cultivation is impossible. The righteous path is closed, and even fringe practices lead nowhere. Therefore, he can only return to his old ways: the path of demonic heresy.

But gradually, he realizes that this world isn't quite what it seems.

On an island in Hong Kong, there lives an exorcist policeman known as Uncle Feng, and a bustling city street is home to a notoriously haunted tower! The city is rife with tales of the Ten Great Evils of Southeast Asia, the Ten Ways to See a Ghost, ghouls raised to devour humans, and vengeful spirits claiming lives.

On the nearby island of Taiwan, a village called Chen's Village is said to worship a malevolent deity known as the Great Black Buddha Mother, while a wicked "Ghost Master" runs rampant. Not far away in Thailand, black magic, sorcerers, the forest god Bayan, and the wandering spirit of a woman haunting a cinema all exist...

To Zhao Shan, this world is absolutely marvelous! Not only is it full of familiar heroines from the movies he knows, but it's also teeming with perfect materials for his cultivation. His path to immortality is all but guaranteed!

But before all that, he must first commit murder, perform a blood sacrifice, and refine his first Jiangshi.

Unconventional methods can also bring great success!

I have always been timid. If I don't get rid of the root of the problem, I won't be able to sleep tonight!

Hehehehe...I, He An, am your great calamity!

Xun Yong was just an ordinary shut-in.

One moment he was fiddling with a mysterious five-clawed dragon cauldron.

The next, his finger was cut… and he was pulled into another world.

Thrown into a brutal cultivation realm, he awakens in the body of a starving slave, bullied and beaten daily. The suffering changes him. The fear turns to anger. The pain becomes fuel.

When he saves a dying demonic cultivator and is brought to Yin Xu Temple, everything changes.

There, he begins to cultivate the Blood Refining Scripture and steps onto a path soaked in blood and corpses, a road only a true demon immortal dares walk.

“This life, I’ll forge my immortal bones atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.”

Cultivation Stages: Qi Refining → Foundation Establishment → Core Formation → Nascent Soul → Divine Transformation

Looking back at the past, corpses are everywhere and the road to becoming an immortal is difficult.

"Li Anping, you are born a demon. In your heart of pursuing justice, you hide the deepest malice of human beings. For you, destroying life is as easy as eating and wearing clothes."

"Li Anping, is this the zoo you built for all human beings? Then let me see whether you are crazy or all human beings are crazy."

From a pedantic righteous young man, he transformed into a cold-blooded demon and the ruler of Genesis.

Older version:

The history of the six major systems of 0 to 4 ability users, namely mutation, bloodline, ancient, parasitic, field, and outside, runs through the entire trajectory of human social development.

In modern times, with the change of the planetary environment again, when the first level 5 ability user appeared and caused a huge natural disaster on a global scale, superpowers became a decisive force.

After the righteous young man Li Anping obtained the most powerful and evil ability in history, he fell from justice to evil step by step, and finally reached the top of the food chain.

The nightmare of the entire human world began to come, and the planet would become a huge hunting ground, and no one could escape the shroud of fear anymore.

Only I can destroy Uchiha!

Look at the many dutiful sons in the clan, as well as the conspirators outside the clan.

In line with the fundamental principles of no forgiveness, no compromise, no letting go, and no mercy, bring a clean stream to this dirty and decadent ninja world.

Before you have strength, you naturally have to be submissive, but if you have strength, why can't you attack hard? Regarding Uchiha's bad cowardice in the past, Uchiha Jhin solemnly declares to the entire ninja world at this moment.

"Until Konoha and Uchiha are the last ones to die, Uchiha Jin will never frown!"

On a night as dark as ink, strange figures in gaudy, colorful garments march under the moonlight. Their faces are warped, frozen in eerie grins. They carry a grand sedan chair, stepping over grave soil, stained with demon blood, heading toward a den of monsters.

Among the folk, there is a chilling saying:

"When paper men bear the sedan, ghosts wail and demons howl — flee if you see them, and never draw near."

A long-lost legacy of the Zhimu craftsmen—those who craft ritual paper effigies—has resurfaced.

A reclusive youth inherits the art.

Controlling paper to kill, he hunts demons, spirits, and monsters…

Extracting their bones, peeling their skins, and crafting paper talismans to prolong life.

With paper as his blade and death as his ink—he walks the path of Dao.
