"You traitors, do you really think you can kill me?" Liu Qingtian's eyes were bloodshot, his hair disheveled, and his body covered in blood. The blood-red long saber in his hand trembled incessantly, reflecting a dazzling cold light in the sunlight. It was stained with blood, which was still dripping, a gruesome sight.
Opposite him, more than twenty figures surrounded him completely. These individuals, male and female, old and young, were all, without exception, top-tier experts. Each of them unleashed an astonishing aura and murderous intent, locking onto Liu Qingtian and leaving him no chance to escape.
The crowd remained expressionless, not responding to Liu Qingtian's words. They simply waited in silence, as if anticipating an order.
Liu Qingtian's eyes were cold. He glanced at the people encircling him, then looked up at the sky, a desolate smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He knew that he was doomed today. No matter how strong he was, he could not survive an encirclement by more than twenty top-tier experts.
"If you all want to kill me, why should I hold back!" Liu Qingtian roared, his voice echoing through the heavens and earth. He fixed his gaze on a middle-aged man not far away—this man was his brother, the one he trusted most.
He never expected that the one who betrayed him would be his most trusted brother!
"Third brother, why did you betray me? We, brothers, have been together for a thousand years, as close as kin. I never mistreated you. Why did you do this?" Liu Qingtian stared at the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with anger and bewilderment.
The middle-aged man remained expressionless, not responding to Liu Qingtian's words, just waiting silently.
Seeing this, a trace of despair flickered in Liu Qingtian's eyes. He knew he was doomed today; no matter how strong he was, he couldn't survive being besieged by over twenty top-tier experts.
"In that case, I'll take you all down with me!" Liu Qingtian roared. His aura instantly surged, and a terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from his body, distorting the surrounding space.
"Oh no! He's going to self-destruct!" Everyone's faces changed drastically. They quickly retreated, trying to put distance between themselves and him.
A sinister smile appeared on Liu Qingtian's lips. His aura grew stronger and stronger, his skin began to crack, and blood oozed from his pores, a shocking sight.
"Hahaha! Trying to run? Too late!" Liu Qingtian burst into laughter. His aura reached its peak, and with a boom, his entire body exploded, transforming into a cloud of bloody mist that engulfed the more than twenty top-tier experts around him.
Rumbling! A massive explosion echoed across the heavens and earth. The entire valley was razed to the ground, and powerful energy fluctuations spread outwards, uprooting surrounding trees, shattering rocks, and creating countless cracks in the ground, making it look as if the apocalypse had arrived.
When the smoke and dust cleared, a massive crater appeared in the valley, filled with blood, and a strong scent of gore permeated the air.
As for the more than twenty top-tier experts, they had long since been reduced to fragmented flesh and blood, leaving no remains. Only a few of the most powerful ones barely left behind incomplete corpses.
Liu Qingtian died, perishing along with more than twenty top-tier experts. Before his death, he tore his own divine soul apart, transforming it into a streak of light that fled into the distance, seeking an opportunity for reincarnation.
Although Liu Qingtian's divine soul was weak, he was, after all, a top-tier expert. His divine soul contained a trace of immortal will, preventing it from dissipating even while drifting in the void.
He drifted in the void for an unknown number of years. Finally, he sensed a trace of life. Following this sensation, he eventually entered a world called "Tianyuan Continent."
Tianyuan Continent was a cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak, and power commanded respect.
Liu Qingtian's divine soul possessed an infant who had just been born and was not yet fully formed. This infant was from an ordinary family, with no background or special talent.
Liu Qingtian was somewhat disappointed, but he had no choice. His divine soul was too weak at the moment, so he could only possess such an infant.
However, Liu Qingtian was a top-tier expert, and his insight and knowledge were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
Although he couldn't cultivate himself, he could guide the infant's cultivation. Once the infant grew up, he could then seize its body and be reborn.
Liu Qingtian slumbered within the infant for eighteen years until the infant grew into an adult before he slowly reawakened.
The infant's name was Liu Fan. He was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage, with an introverted personality and not much of a talker.
After Liu Qingtian reawakened, Liu Fan's personality also underwent significant changes. He became more cheerful and talkative, surprising the orphanage director and teachers.
Liu Qingtian knew that he couldn't stay in Liu Fan's body indefinitely. He needed to find a suitable body for himself and then seize it for rebirth.
However, Liu Fan's body was too weak to withstand his divine soul. He could only slowly nourish Liu Fan's body, making it stronger.
Liu Qingtian remained within Liu Fan for three years, nourishing his body to its limit. Liu Fan's body also became incredibly powerful, even surpassing some cultivators' bodies.
Liu Qingtian knew the time was right.
He began to seize control of Liu Fan's body. However, the moment he succeeded, he suddenly felt a powerful resistance.
This resistance, surprisingly, came from Liu Fan's divine soul!
Liu Qingtian was greatly alarmed. He never expected Liu Fan's divine soul to be so powerful, even stronger than his own.
Liu Qingtian was a top-tier expert; his divine soul had been tempered countless times. Even against experts of the same level, his divine soul would not be weaker.
Yet, Liu Fan's divine soul was actually stronger than his!
Liu Qingtian was shocked. He didn't know why Liu Fan's divine soul was so powerful.
He began to contend with Liu Fan's divine soul for control of the body. However, Liu Fan's divine soul was exceptionally tenacious, actually pushing him into a desperate situation.
Liu Qingtian knew he couldn't delay any longer; otherwise, he would be devoured by Liu Fan's divine soul.
He decided to fight with all his might. He ignited his own divine soul, transforming it into a powerful force that surged towards Liu Fan's divine soul.
Although Liu Fan's divine soul was powerful, it lacked combat experience. Under Liu Qingtian's desperate struggle, Liu Fan's divine soul finally couldn't resist and was devoured by Liu Qingtian's divine soul.
After devouring Liu Fan's divine soul, Liu Qingtian felt his own divine soul become even more powerful. Furthermore, he inherited Liu Fan's memories.
Through Liu Fan's memories, Liu Qingtian learned of Liu Fan's identity: Liu Fan was actually the "Child of Destiny" of Tianyuan Continent, and his body contained the "Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao"!
The Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao was the most wondrous item between heaven and earth, containing endless vitality and fortune. By refining it, one could defy destiny and become the most powerful being in existence.
Liu Qingtian was overjoyed. He never imagined he would encounter such a fortuitous opportunity.
He decided that he must refine the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao and then become the most powerful being in the world.
Liu Qingtian controlled Liu Fan's body, feeling it brim with power. He also had Liu Fan's memories, giving him complete knowledge of everything on the Tianyuan Continent.
Liu Qingtian knew that his most important task now was to increase his strength and then search for the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao.
He began to cultivate, and his cultivation speed was incredibly fast. In just three days, he broke through to the "Qi Condensation Stage," becoming the first cultivator on Tianyuan Continent.
Liu Qingtian was delighted. He knew he had embarked on a path to supremacy.
However, while cultivating, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.
"Not good! Someone's coming!" Liu Qingtian's expression changed drastically. He immediately stopped cultivating and concealed his aura.
Soon, a group of people appeared before him. These individuals were disciples of the "Heavenly Dao Sect" of Tianyuan Continent.
The Heavenly Dao Sect was the most powerful sect on Tianyuan Continent.
Liu Qingtian was vigilant. He didn't know what these people were doing here.
"Boy, who are you? Why are you here?" A Heavenly Dao Sect disciple asked coldly.
Liu Qingtian's eyes flickered. He knew he couldn't reveal his identity; otherwise, he would be captured by the Heavenly Dao Sect.
"I'm just a passing mortal who accidentally stumbled in here." Liu Qingtian feigned fear, his voice trembling as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao Sect disciples showed a hint of disdain.
"Mortal? Hmph! How could a mortal come here? This is the 'Tianyuan Secret Realm.' Without reaching the 'Foundation Establishment Stage,' it's impossible to enter." The Heavenly Dao Sect disciple sneered, his aura instantly surging and pressing down on Liu Qingtian.
Liu Qingtian's heart tensed. He knew these people were looking for trouble.
His aura instantly erupted, pushing back the Heavenly Dao Sect disciple. Then, he said coldly, "I don't care who you are. I advise you not to meddle, or I won't be polite."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao Sect disciples' faces changed drastically. They never expected Liu Qingtian's strength to be so great that he could repel them.
"You... you're actually a cultivator!" A Heavenly Dao Sect disciple pointed at Liu Qingtian, his voice trembling.
Liu Qingtian's eyes were cold. He said nothing, simply waiting in silence.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Sect disciples' expressions grew even uglier. They knew they had run into a tough opponent today.
"Let's go!" The Heavenly Dao Sect disciples exchanged glances, then turned and left.
Upon seeing this, Liu Qingtian showed a hint of disdain in his eyes. He knew these people had been scared off by him.
He didn't pursue them but continued to cultivate. He knew that his most important task now was to increase his strength.
Liu Qingtian cultivated in the Tianyuan Secret Realm for three years. His strength advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the "Core Formation Stage."
He knew he now had the ability to search for the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao.
Liu Qingtian left the Tianyuan Secret Realm and began to travel across the Tianyuan Continent, searching for the whereabouts of the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao while journeying.
He encountered many cultivators and many demonic beasts, and his strength continued to improve.
Finally, in an ancient ruin, he discovered the whereabouts of the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao.
The Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao was located in a place called "Myriad Monster Valley."
Myriad Monster Valley was one of the most dangerous places on Tianyuan Continent, inhabited by countless powerful demonic beasts. Even Core Formation Stage cultivators dared not enter easily.
Liu Qingtian's heart tensed. He knew this would be a tough battle.
Without hesitation, he immediately headed to Myriad Monster Valley.
After entering Myriad Monster Valley, Liu Qingtian proceeded cautiously. He knew the demonic beasts here were extremely powerful, and a slight misstep could cost him his life.
He encountered many powerful demonic beasts but easily dealt with them all.
His strength had reached the peak of the Core Formation Stage, just one step away from the Nascent Soul Stage.
Finally, he arrived at the depths of Myriad Monster Valley. He saw a massive valley filled with dense spiritual energy, and a golden lotus radiated dazzling light.
This lotus was precisely the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao!
Liu Qingtian was overjoyed. He never expected to find the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao so quickly.
He immediately rushed forward, intending to refine the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao.
However, just as he approached the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from it.
A giant demonic beast burst out from the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao—this beast was none other than the "Heavenly Demon King"!
The Heavenly Demon King was the overlord of Myriad Monster Valley, incredibly powerful, having already reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
The Heavenly Demon King stared at Liu Qingtian, its eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Human! How dare you trespass into my territory and even covet the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao? You must be seeking death!" The Heavenly Demon King roared and charged towards Liu Qingtian.
Liu Qingtian's heart tensed. He knew he had encountered a formidable enemy.
Without hesitation, he immediately unleashed his divine abilities and attacked the Heavenly Demon King.
Liu Qingtian and the Heavenly Demon King engaged in a fierce battle. Their fight was so intense that the entire valley was destroyed by their lingering energy.
Ultimately, Liu Qingtian, relying on his formidable strength, slew the Heavenly Demon King.
After slaying the Heavenly Demon King, Liu Qingtian immediately refined the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao.
Once refined, the Golden Lotus of the Heavenly Dao transformed into a golden light and merged into Liu Qingtian's body.
Liu Qingtian felt his strength rapidly increasing, and his cultivation realm continuously broke through, quickly reaching the "Soul Transformation Stage."
Liu Qingtian was ecstatic. He knew he had become the most powerful being between heaven and earth.
Liu Qingtian left Myriad Monster Valley and began to travel across the Tianyuan Continent, seeking other fortuitous opportunities.
His strength grew greater and greater, quickly reaching the "Tribulation Transcendence Stage," just one step away from the "Mahayana Stage."
Ultimately, he successfully transcended his tribulation, became a "Mahayana Stage" expert, and ascended to the Immortal Realm.
