Golden Core is a Star, and You Call This Cultivation?

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Wherever the eyes could see, where the army was headed, the ten thousand Supremes surged through Wanzhangyuan like a tide of iron under the specially improved formation of Qi Yuan.

The ten thousand Supremes, like celestial soldiers, swept away everything in their path. No one could stand against them.

After all, the current formation was created by all the Great Supremes of the Liufeng Realm together and was further refined by Qi Yuan who identified and corrected its flaws.

This formation was far stronger than the one used by the Supremes who besieged Ning Tao in the past.

The army surged forward, sweeping everything away effortlessly.

Qi Yuan stood in the void, his blood-red robe more vivid than blood itself.

Now, he finally felt the thrill of being a pay-to-win player.

With a horde of underlings crushing everything in their path, there was no need for him to lift a finger.

Compared to the brutal battles in Dique, this was extremely relaxing.

Now, he truly felt like a major villain, relentlessly attacking the righteous forces, crushing them with overwhelming power.

The Supreme Beings of the Ten Thousand Monsters Realm, facing ten times their number, dared not truly engage and were fleeing in all directions.

Unfortunately for them, the ten thousand Supremes in blood-red robes had surrounded them on all sides.

The hundreds of Supreme battalions continued to close in, launching innate divine powers in long-range attacks.

In fact, they only needed to cast their innate divine powers into designated areas without targeting any specific Supreme.

Using endless divine powers, they forcibly overwhelmed the Supreme Beings of the demon clan.

The situation was completely one-sided. The Supreme Beings of the Ten Thousand Monsters Realm, considered the true enemies of the Liufeng Realm, had no chance to fight back against Qi Yuan’s army.

"No!"

"How is this possible!"

"Why is this happening?"

The once proud and confident Supreme Beings of the Ten Thousand Monsters Realm were now weak, helpless, and utterly confused.

Their cries were drowned in the sea of innate divine powers.

These Supremes had no idea how to break the defenses or which divine power to counter.

There were too many attacks.

Way too many.

This day, the ten thousand Supremes crushed the Supremes of the Ten Thousand Monsters Realm, leaving countless dead.

Wanzhangyuan was blasted into an abyss.

Here, the aura of innate divine power was incredibly dense.

Ordinary Supremes had a high probability of perishing just by entering, as if it were a battlefield contaminated by nuclear weapons, where no living creature could survive.

Qi Yuan, in his long robe, stood in the void.

Chen Huan's face was full of deep guilt: "Blood Lord, the Supreme Master... has disappeared."

At this moment, he did not call Qi Yuan "Big Brother" but "Blood Lord".

Now that almost all the enemies had been crushed and killed, only the Supreme Master remained unaccounted for.

Despite the ten thousand Supremes' overwhelming and encircling attack, the Supreme Master had mysteriously vanished, which was too strange.

Qi Yuan was not surprised by this, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "It seems that the final boss has some tricks after all.

As for her... she is likely... there!"

Qi Yuan had roughly figured out Shang Yanran's identity.

Indeed... she was a difficult boss.

But that was only the case for others.

Qi Yuan's gaze pierced through the distance, as if seeing through time, and landed on the last stronghold of the Liufeng Realm.

"Let's go!"

The army of ten thousand blood-clad Supremes marched towards the final stronghold.

The sight was spectacular, and perhaps... terrifying.

The Supremes in the stronghold, having lived most of their lives and seen all kinds of battles, had never seen such a scene!

Originally, they thought the final battle would be the most terrifying one.

They thought they might fight to the last drop of blood for the Liufeng Realm.

But to their surprise, the final battle had nothing to do with them.

The ten thousand Supremes attacked the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters and directly overwhelmed the Supremes of the Ten Thousand Monsters Realm.

It was simply... too unbelievable.

At this moment, the army in blood-red robes, like a cloud of blood, was rushing towards them.

Their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

In an instant, the mighty and orderly formation arrived at the gates.

The army split neatly, and a blood-red figure emerged. All the Supremes looked at that figure with deep reverence.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell on the girl in the black dress in the distance.

His eyes softened: "I'm here."

This time, unlike the first world, there were no unexpected incidents.

It seemed he was speaking to the girl, as well as to the others in the stronghold.

Ning Tao looked at Qi Yuan, her steps hesitant for the first time. The countless words in her heart turned into one sentence: "I've been waiting for you."

Today, she had put on light makeup and specially worn black stockings.

Under her black dress, her figure appeared particularly petite. Her chest was delicately shaped, not too big, not too small. Her slender, fair legs, wrapped in black stockings, made her look like a sickly girl from an anime.

Her skin was very pale, a cold white that seemed to match her personality.

Yet she seemed out of place in this world.

Qi Yuan saw the canary's shadow in her.

At this moment, a seductive voice came from within the stronghold.

"A Great Demon indeed, to make me lose a life."

The speaker was none other than the Supreme Master who had disappeared earlier.

She appeared within the stronghold!

"Supreme Master!"

"How is she here!"

The hundreds of Supremes in the stronghold were all moved and extremely apprehensive about the Supreme Master.

The Supreme Master had hidden within the stronghold, using them as shields.

The Supreme Master's power was immense, even greater than the White Emperor's.

But facing ten thousand Supremes, she naturally couldn't stand alone.

Now, she mingled among the Supremes, making the Blood Lord hesitate.

Qi Yuan looked at Shang Yanran: "Actually, I really want you to die now, but... I can't bear it."

If Shang Yanran died, the game would end.

Whenever the game ended, Qi Yuan felt a bit melancholy.

It was like finishing an anime series or a TV show.

Having stayed in the Liufeng Realm for so many years, longer than in the Canglan Realm, he had grown accustomed to it.

Shang Yanran was puzzled by Qi Yuan's words, but she also said, "I feel the same about my master. I hope he can die, but also hope... he can stay in this world."

As she spoke, she seemed especially melancholic.

Ling Yayi, hearing this, was furious: "Shang Yanran, how can you be so shameless?

The situation is settled, what more do you have to say?"

Shang Yanran remained calm, looking at Qi Yuan: "I have always believed that justice will triumph over evil!"

"Hah, you call yourself justice, what a joke!" Ling Yayi cursed.

The Thirteen Northern Demons, though called demons and having killed many who pursued them, were not inherently evil.

"What I have done, I did for the Liufeng Realm. My conscience is clear!" Shang Yanran said calmly, "Ask Bai Ze, which of my actions was not for the Liufeng Realm, for the world's beings?"

Her voice grew passionate.

Qi Yuan's eyes showed a mocking smile: "Is the big boss trying to redeem herself before dying, to perfect her character?"

Shang Yanran ignored Qi Yuan and looked at Bai Ze, questioning: "Was the North-South conflict not to eliminate the demon spawn?

Did bringing in the Supremes of the Ten Thousand Monsters Realm not aim to suppress the demon spawn?"

Bai Ze was silent for a long time before speaking: "Yanran, your methods are too extreme."

"If I were not extreme, if I did not play the villain, the Liufeng Realm would have been finished long ago!

Ten thousand years ago, it was I who sacrificed a life to send out nearly three thousand aged Supremes!

Now, it is I who takes on the role of the villain to make you Bai Ze famous!" Shang Yanran's voice was hysterical.

"If the number of demon spawn in this world reaches a certain limit, the Liufeng Realm... will truly collapse, and even the Heavenly Dao will be thoroughly polluted!

This realm will become a true haven for demon spawn."

Bai Ze remained silent.

Shang Yanran's face showed pain: "You, Bai Ze, are unwilling to kill, unwilling to kill Supremes, so I kill.

And what was the result... Bai Ze, look, who is the real sinner of this world?

Ten thousand Supremes... what a grand gesture!

Do you think these ten thousand Supremes will peacefully grow old?

If one-tenth of these ten thousand Supremes refuse to die peacefully, this world, already forsaken by the gods, will be instantly polluted.

Everyone, all Supremes, including you and me, will become demon spawn."

Shang Yanran looked at everyone, her expression agitated.

"So tell me, who is the Great Demon, who is the great villain causing havoc in the world!"

She looked directly at Qi Yuan as if saying he was the true sinner.

And she was the misunderstood, kind-hearted flower.

The Supremes present, hearing her words, were all shaken.

Could it be that what the Supreme Master said was true?

Everything she did was to eliminate the demon spawn, to prevent the Liufeng Realm from truly... being destroyed.

Everyone looked at the White Emperor, as if seeking an answer from him.

A complex look flashed in the White Emperor's eyes: "If the number of demon spawn in this world reaches a certain quantity... the Liufeng Realm will indeed fall.

This is the Heavenly Dao's warning, the information I received when given the Lotus of No-Mind."

The Supremes present fell silent.

Even the Supreme from the Thirteen Northern Demons who opposed Shang Yanran was now conflicted and hesitant.

"Why wasn't this revealed to everyone?" a Great Supreme couldn't help but ask.

Shang Yanran's face turned cold: "Human nature... is selfish. What good would revealing it do?

Who wouldn't want to live to a ripe old age?

Does everyone have the selflessness to sacrifice themselves for the world?

Some might even create more demon spawn on purpose, knowing this.

As long as people are selfish, this world... will ultimately head towards destruction."

Shang Yanran looked at Qi Yuan: "Master, are the ten thousand people behind you all selfless and willing to sacrifice themselves?"

Bai Ze also looked at the ten thousand Supremes in the sky, looking lost.

Ten thousand Supremes... the demon spawn they would generate could truly destroy the Liufeng Realm.

The ten thousand Supremes behind Qi Yuan also felt a moment of confusion and emotion upon hearing Shang Yanran's words.

Shang Yanran's face showed endless sorrow and bewilderment: "Fortunately, the reincarnations of the Great Demon and the Demoness have been found.

The demon spawn in the Liufeng Realm originated from the Great Demon and the Demoness, and should also end with them."

She looked at Qi Yuan and Ning Tao.

As if saying that these two were the reincarnations of the Great Demon and the Demoness.

Only their deaths could bring peace to the Liufeng Realm.

Sure enough, with Shang Yanran's words, everyone looked at Qi Yuan differently.

After all, if Qi Yuan was truly the Great Demon, then the calamity of this world was due to him.

Only his death could bring peace.

All the Supremes wouldn't have to worry about dying peacefully.

With just a few words, Shang Yanran sowed discord.

Her words also contained a hint of bewitchment.

Many people seemed to be swayed by her.

Qi Yuan heard this and smiled: "Playing with human nature, how interesting.

You want to lecture me about human nature, about depth, and morally bind me?"

Blood surged around Qi Yuan.

"Today, I'll show you that the so-called human nature... is nothing.

The most powerful force in the world is... power!"

Qi Yuan said, turning to the ten thousand Supremes behind him: "Am I the Great Demon?"

The ten thousand Supremes were momentarily confused.

Yang Hun and Chen Huan quickly shouted: "The Blood Lord is not the Great Demon!"

The ten thousand Supremes behind them remembered the Blood Lord's terrifying power, killing Supremes like chickens, and hesitated no more, shouting in unison.

"The Blood Lord is not the Great Demon!"

The sound echoed through the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters.

Qi Yuan stood in the void: "See, this is what real popular support looks like!

What bullshit big picture, what world's beings!

I am the big picture!"

His eyes were filled with disdain.

"The Supremes of the Blood Palace fear me, hate me, even want to kill me, so what? Now they still serve me obediently!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan looked like an arrogant, overbearing villain.

And yet, no one could do anything about him.

"Pointing at a deer and calling it a horse, how interesting." Qi Yuan raised his hand, "Shang Yanran is the Great Demon."

Chen Huan and Yang Hun understood Qi Yuan's meaning and quickly shouted: "Shang Yanran is the Great Demon!"

The ten thousand Supremes behind them also shouted in unison: "Shang Yanran is the Great Demon!"

The sound roared like the sea, shaking the heavens and earth.

The scene was comical, yet powerful enough to shock the heart.

"See?" Qi Yuan pointed at the Supremes all around, "This is real popular support!"

For the first time, a trace of urgency appeared in Shang Yanran's heart.

She had played with human nature and traversed many realms, but had never met someone like Qi Yuan.

Still, she didn't back down: "Master, when you were the Great Demon, you killed your most beloved Demoness for the world's beings.

At the ends of the earth, to contain the demon spawn, you entered the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons alone, feeding yourself to the demons.

Today, can you not also sacrifice yourself for the world, for the countless beings of the Liufeng Realm?"

Shang Yanran's righteous voice was full of incitement, spreading everywhere.

Qi Yuan's smile grew wider: "You're even more disgusting than the Bright Palace, trying to morally bind me?"

"I know these words are selfish, but for the world, for the big picture, I am willing to be the villain and say them!" Shang Yanran continued.

Qi Yuan's face showed even more disgust. It was the first time he had cursed in this world.

"Damn it, still talking nonsense, I'll cut you down!"

"I have no manners, I’m a college student, I don't talk about the big picture!"

Qi Yuan shook his hand, and the blood-red sword in Ning Tao's hand returned to his.

He held the long sword and slashed at Shang Yanran.

Now, Qi Yuan had reached the pinnacle of this world.

With one slash, endless desires erupted.

Even Shang Yanran's eyes showed a hint of emotion.

Because her body came from this world, she could also be affected by inner demons.

With one slash, Qi Yuan's usually unstoppable innate divine power was less smooth than before.

The slash only injured Shang Yanran, not drawing out her inner demon.

Shang Yanran's face turned pale, and she cut off an arm to dissolve the innate divine power. She shouted: "Bai Ze, aren't you going to act? Only by killing the Great Demon can this world truly be at peace!"

In the stronghold, Bai Ze's eyes were filled with endless hesitation and struggle.

Shang Yanran's voice came again.

"The Buddha once killed his most beloved Demoness for the world.

Now, killing the Great Demon, the Master won't blame you.

The one before you is not the Master, but the Great Demon!"

"Killing the Great Demon is also the Master's last wish!"

Bai Ze stood still in the stronghold, his heart filled with countless emotions, constantly struggling. The Lotus of No-Mind radiated a terrifying aura.

Even Qi Yuan sensed a trace of danger.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell on the Lotus of No-Mind, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

【The Dust-covered Great Sun Golden Lotus, the relic formed after the death of the Great Sun Bright Buddha, can form an immaculate golden body.

Its power is boundless; once it truly appears, it can burn everything in the world.】

Seeing the Great Sun Golden Lotus, Qi Yuan suddenly understood.

His innate divine power was forgetfulness, the Great Forgetfulness Sutra.

He needed to keep all past events in mind, forget them, then recall them.

The plot of this world had been recalled in his mind countless times.

There were many places he didn't understand or were full of loopholes.

Back on Jiupan Mountain, he instructed Bai Ze and Shang Yanran to investigate the matters of the Gate of Myriad Differences and listened to their report.

At that time, he looked at Bai Ze and saw that Bai Ze was a monk.

He couldn't help but smile at Bai Ze and Shang Yanran.

Later, through the Stone of Fate, he confirmed that Shang Yanran was the spirit of the Stone of Fate.

There was once a great Buddha who tried to convert the Stone of Fate, also known as the Stone of Deception.

He then confirmed that Shang Yanran was the Demoness and the Stone of Deception.

And his disciple Bai Ze was the former Buddha, the former Great Demon.

The source of all demon spawn.

However, Qi Yuan still had one thing he didn't understand.

Why did Shang Yanran do all this?

Was it just to make the Buddha fall and become the Great Demon?

If that were the case, she just needed to release the news that Bai Ze was the Great Demon.

Wouldn't Bai Ze fall then?

Now, seeing the Great Sun Golden Lotus, he completely understood.

Shang Yanran's goal had always been the Great Sun Golden Lotus.

But she didn't dare to push too hard, nor did she dare to face Bai Ze directly.

Once Bai Ze awakened his memories of being the Great Demon, Bai Ze would become the Great Demon again.

Then, the dust-covered Great Sun Golden Lotus would burn everything in the world.

The fallen Bai Ze would, like the former Great Demon, kill the Demoness again.

The Liufeng Realm would be completely destroyed, and even she, as the Stone of Fate, wouldn't be spared.

So, she changed her approach.

She identified Ning Tao as the Demoness and the Blood Lord as the Great Demon.

She forced Bai Ze to take action against the Blood Lord and Ning Tao.
