Ten thousand years ago, Ye Tian was just a high school student—until a fateful surgery hurled him into a world of cultivation, where he became the feared Heavenly Demon, a name cursed by immortals and dreaded by demons. After countless lifetimes of slaughter and a desperate struggle against the Heavens themselves, Ye Tian finally returns to his former world... only to find it is not what it once seemed. His arrival triggers a global awakening—unleashing mysterious powers, mutating animals, and driving humans mad. With society collapsing into chaos and zombie-like creatures roaming the streets, Ye Tian’s quiet reunion with his family is shattered. Faced with a new kind of apocalypse, he must once again awaken the Heavenly Demon within to protect those he loves and uncover the dark secrets that bind both worlds. Will Ye Tian reclaim the life he lost, or will he lose everything once more?
Launching their final attacks at each other, neither Ye Tian nor Gao Tianyuan held back.
Channeling all the energy in his body, Ye Tian concentrated everything he had on his right fist.
As for Gao Tianyuan despite his near-death status, having multiple bones and organs damaged.
With broken cords and the light in one eye dim.
He launched a punch that was stronger than anything he had ever imagined he could do.
In a trance, he seemed to see his life flash before his eyes.
He saw the scene where he was still a child, abandoned by his father and mother.
The days when he lived with his grandma and was relentlessly bullied in school
The time he went to a local gym and knelt for hours just so they could train him to become stronger
The feeling of blood lust and joy when he first made his bullies bleed.
Remembering his past, in the few seconds before the punches collided, Gao Tianyuan saw his whole life
And once again going through all this, Gao Tianyuan was satisfied
No regrets, no unfinished business, to die like this in a battle for someone who grew up without a parent's love
This was more than he could ever ask for
*haha~ if there was anything I do indeed regret, was not meeting this kid sooner*
*who knows, I might have even surpassed my current self by many levels*
Thinking of this, a tear unknowingly shed from his one remaining eye.
Unfortunately, his already bleeding skull dripped blood onto his face making him unable to tell
"haha! Grandma! Your grandson is coming early!"
Forcing his already ruptured vocal cords to open wide, Gao Tianyuan let out a loud shout as the two fists met their target
*Boom!*
Accompanied by a loud explosion, the surrounding debris including the unconscious Chen Beixuan was knocked away
Large amounts of dust rose from the ground making the surroundings barely visible.
At this time, He Qiang and the remaining about seventy gang members had just arrived
Hearing the loud explosion and seeing Chen Beixuan unconscious on the floor with a huge bump on his head
He Qiang couldn't help but feel scared
"Damn! Don't tell me that the loud explosion just now was by the young master and the vice leader??"
Guessing the current situation, He Qiang couldn't help but feel his knees go weak
"monsters! Just what kind of monsters are these!"
"There's no way human beings can do this much damage!"
looking at the ground with huge potholes and walls with fist size holes, it seemed like a certain green monster had come out of a move and gotten angry
However, just when He Qiang thought the current scene couldn't get any more outrageous
A gang member suddenly attracted his attention.
"Boss He, look!"
"The dust is clearing, and there seem to be people moving in it"
Hearing this, He Qiang and the rest of the gang members turned their gaze to the center of the dust storm
And what they saw next left them completely shaken
"fu-!" cursing out loud, He Qiang felt like his jaw was about to literally drop to the ground.
With the disappearance of the dust storm, The figures of Gao Tianyuanb and Ye Tian were clearly revealed
At this time, Gao Tianyuan who was a staggering eight foot five in height, was currently in a half-kneeling position, with blood spilling down the sides of his mouth as he remained motionless
And in front of him, although way smaller, Ye Tian stood tall, standing with his hand pierced through Gao Tianyuan's heart seemingly telling him something
A scene that made the gang members including He Qiang feel a chill run down their spine.
Unknowingly, they all began to pray that Ye Tian didn't notice them.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was from the moment they had stepped into the back alley, all their movements were already perceived by him.
Their only saving grace was that he was still dealing with Gao Tianyuan.
Standing there with his hands buried in his chest, Ye Tian's pupils slightly dilated as he listened to Gao Tianyuan's dying words.
"Blue star! Blue star! Just what in the heavens and the world makes you so special!"
struggling to process the information he just got, Ye Tian even began to wonder if he had traveled to some other parallel world by mistake.
His only reassurance was the fact that the great traversing technique he used was a product of eighty percent of the lives of the heavens of the world, his own, and the demonic bead
Such a creation should have such a flaw.
However, before he could finish thinking about it, Ye Tian suddenly noticed that Gao Tianyuan had breathed his final breath
Unknowingly he had died in this kneeling position, unwilling to collapse and with a smile on his face
Looking at such a death, Ye Tian decided to put away other thoughts for now.
"rest in peace old man, although I don't know much about you."
"But not only did you allow me to experience a true fight since coming to the blue star, but had it been on the Tianxian continent, you could probably have become a martial lord"
"for you truly embody the spirit of martial arts"
Saying this, Ye Tian sighed as his body began to absorb the energy gotten from Gao Tianyuan's death
"Wait! What is this!"
"it looks like I'm going to break through!" he paused
Feeling the cultivation already at the peak human cultivator begin to slowly climb up, Ye Tian knew that a breakthrough was imminent
Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding gang members, he sat in a lotus position and began to break through.
"Alright! let's do this!"
Sensing all the energy he had gathered in his body, Ye Tian began to guide it to his lower dantian and compress it
For only when all the energy has been condensed from gas scattered all through the body to liquid in the dantian can one be said to have truly broken through and become a qi cultivator
fortunately, while this stage might have ben hard for a lot of people, for him who was once the heavenly demon, such a stage was as easy as drinking water for him
"Damn, energy! Compress for me!"
"break!"
