[Dark + Traditional Cultivation! The protagonist follows a twisted path—decisive, ruthless, and anything but kind. If you prefer gentle heroes, this isn’t for you.]

The so-called Immortal Path is nothing but hypocrisy—built on blood and bones.

Lu Li claws his way out of a pit of corpses, uses bones as his lantern, and walks a road only true demons dare tread.

From that moment on: killing, soul harvesting, bone refinement, devouring the heavens.

If I ascend, I shall butcher all who call themselves Immortals.

— The Four Steps of Cultivation:

Qi Condensation (10 Layers) → Foundation Establishment → Golden Core → Nascent Soul

“Blood Demon, hand over the fragments of the Immortal Realm!”

A crimson light fell silently through the night…

— One hundred years later —

“Blood Demon, are you truly going to abandon me, Cang Yun?!”

“Where could you even go?!”

“So what?”

“What do your lives have to do with me?!”

In the Sea of Demon Cultivation—

“Kneel and call me Patriarch… and you may live.”

“A so-called Patriarch… is simply the butcher who outlived the rest.”

Cultivation Realms:

Qi Condensation → Foundation Building → Golden Core → Nascent Soul → Soul Transformation → Void Return → Integration → Mahayana → Tribulation Crossing

(this book is dark, please avoid it) (Please note that the protagonist of this book is not a mindless killer)

In a world where demons rule and twisted horrors block every path forward, humanity has been pushed to the brink, some have even chosen to become livestock for monsters just to survive.

Zhang Xuan crosses into this nightmare realm with one simple goal: to live.

But in an era where the heavens are silent and human life is worth less than grass, survival means strength, and strength comes at a price.

Now, he has only one rule:

Anyone who stands in the way of his growth... must die.

Zhou Heng fell into a lower-dimensional world, fortunately, his essence remained that of a higher being.

In the world of gods and spirits, he reshaped the mythos and became the First God.

In the world of horror and dread, he scattered the mists of despair and became the light of hope.

In the world of wizards, he pursued truth, until he became truth itself.

In the world of cultivation, he glimpsed the Great Dao and forged his own true path.

...

And when he returned to the higher dimensions, he realized, he had already become a miracle incarnate.

He broke through the boundaries of dimension, ascending into true eternity and immortality.

After dying in the line of duty, special forces operative Qin Shaohuang is reborn into a brutal fantasy world—

and his new life starts with catastrophe.

He awakens as the young master of a low-tier demonic sect.

His adoptive father has been assassinated.

His predecessor was ambushed and killed mid-breakthrough.

The sect elders are tearing each other apart for power, and no one respects the so-called “young master.”

But then...

Ding!

“Supreme Villain System Activated. This system allows the Host to summon villainous figures from across the multiverse to serve at your command.”

From the savage lands of Barbarian Province to the Northern Wastes, the Central Realms, and the Heavenly Realm—

Qin Shaohuang rises through blood and fire, backed by infamous villains of countless worlds.

Those who follow me shall rise. Those who defy me… shall be destroyed.

Xiao Xuan traveled to the world of cultivation, but his aptitude was extremely poor and he was only at the seventh level of Qi training until his death.

However, he later awakened the supreme treasure, the Book of Hundred Worlds, which allowed him to start a new life among his descendants after his death, and he could even strengthen his talents and awaken his supernatural powers!

Thus, after lifetimes of hard practice, he finally reaped the rewards of his hard work and became a giant in the world of cultivation!

The family he founded gradually became a huge force in the world of cultivation, and all his descendants were born with the blood of the mysterious bird and possessed magical powers...

“My name is Li Changsheng,I seek the Dao of Immortality!”

Immortal or demon? It makes no difference.

I crave only one thing, eternal life and absolute power.

Beneath the Nine Netherworlds lies a place known as Youming, the Netherworld. In this brutal cultivation realm, there is no right or wrong, no light or dark. Only power reigns.

The strong rule.

The weak are nothing but ants.

With the Netherworld Tower in hand, Li Changsheng sets foot on the treacherous road of ascension, a path toward enlightenment, immortality, and domination.

“Immortality is bait, let the world’s heroes fight to the death for it.”

When the ancient scripture resurfaces, chaos erupts across the land. Kingdoms fall, alliances shatter, and ambition floods the world like wildfire.

The sages claimed that immortality was a dead end, an unreachable dream.

But I saw hope in the ashes of despair.

I will carve my own path toward eternal life, a path that belongs to me alone.

And even if it ends in death, I will have no regrets.

The Jiuzhou Continent contains an era of chaos and fiendish demons, haunted by mysterious beings and fraught with feuding martial families, demonic sacred grounds, and endless struggles between various powers. Conflict is a constant throughout the world.

Within such darkness, Gu Chen opened his eyes to this reality.

At the same time, he discovered that as long as he slew these fiendish demons and ghosts, his cultivation strength could continually elevate.

Killing a Panic Level Demon yields a decade's worth of cultivation.

Slaying a Ghost Level Fiendish Ghost brings thirty years of cultivation.

...

Eventually, one day, staring at the endless swarm of fiendish demons and world-renowned grandmasters in his path, Gu Chen chuckled lightly, "Are you able to withstand this fist of mine, charged with 1600 years of cultivation?"

Place of Birth: Bone Sea Identity: Skeleton… In the next moment, Yun Ming, still in a daze, was swept into the battlefield. Thus, a bewildered gray bone was ruthlessly hijacked by fate. What kind of unknowns will he face?

***

The world swam into focus through a haze of gray-white mist, the only sound a persistent, dry crackling in unseen ears. Yun Ming’s consciousness flickered, slowly anchoring itself to a body lying flat on… bones. Countless bones, forming a desolate, shifting landscape beneath him. He tried to sit up, but agony exploded through his frame, sharp and absolute. Looking down, he saw not flesh, but gray-white ribs. Above, slender leg bones stretched where his own should be.

“I… am a skeleton?” The thought echoed in the hollow cavity of his skull, a silent scream of disbelief swallowed by the oppressive mist. Around him, other skeletal figures stirred, mindless automatons rising from the osseous sea, only for some to suddenly collapse, scattering back into the landscape like brittle twigs. Death was palpable here, a constant presence reinforced by the chilling whispers of disintegration.

A voice, alien yet intimate, suddenly bloomed within his mind, urging him forward, into the unknown grayness. With excruciating effort, fueled by a primal fear and a dawning, terrifying awareness, Yun Ming forced his fragile new body upright. This was the Bone Sea. This was his new, horrifying beginning. And in this realm of endless death, survival was the only imperative. His journey, fraught with pain and the constant threat of dissolution, had just begun.
