Way of the Devil
Demons, devils, ghosts and monsters Plunge the mortals weak in horrors; Arms of gods and blades of devils, Shroud the world in untold evils. Lu Sheng was an ordinary civil servant in the modern world. After waking from a drunken stupor one day, he found himself trapped in a dangerous world where demons, ghosts and supernatural monsters terrorize the land. In this world, ordinary mortals live in dark fear and helplessness, without any means to fight against the supernatural. As Lu Sheng struggles desperately for survival, he stumbles upon a game mod he had designed for a mobile phone app in his previous life. It unexpectedly becomes his special ability, which enables him to instantly level up any skill he learns, albeit at a cost. Thus, Lu Sheng begins his journey, striving for power beyond the reach of a mortal as he treads the way of the Devil…
Early morning, the sun rose slowly over the horizon. The originally gray sky immediately turned lighter, with half of it illuminated with a faint red.
Standing in the crowd, Lu Sheng followed the instructions and imagined a picture of the sun rising, vaguely overlapping with real-life image.
This was a very difficult process as the imagined picture had to completely overlap with the speed the real sun was rising at.
During this process, one had to adjust their breathing and continue their imagination to absorb small amounts of this purported Violet Qi.
However, now that Lu Sheng knew what was going on, he wouldn't be so dumb as to just follow suit.
Following the instructions, he separated a thread of Spiritual Essence like everyone else and sent it into the tiny lake above their heads.
Then, he formed a golden thread, indicating that he successfully imagined the sun rising, and used it to rob everyone of their Spiritual Essence.
