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?
*Boom!*
Time soon passed, and the fight was soon in full swing.
However, the way it played out was completely different from what the Red Knife gang had expected
Surrounded by fourteen of them, yet not one of them had landed a hit on Ye Tian making it seem like he had eyes at the back of his head
"Damn you rat! Is dodging the only thing you can do?"
"stay in one place, and obediently be dealt with!"
Swiping his knife at Ye Tian's neck, Sun Kai roared with anger and frustration, evident in his voice
The fight had been going on for almost ten minutes yet none of them had been able to successfully land a hit on him
If the other captains back at the headquarters found out about this, he would undoubtedly become a laughingstock.
Thinking of this, Sun Kai's veins bulged as he tightened his grip on his knife.
Despite the hot sun reflecting off his bald head making him extra tired, but he was determined to teach this kid in front of him a lesson
However for his change of attitude, although Ye Tian noticed, he didn't pay too much attention to him
Instead, his mind was on other things.
"Alright, I've initially mastered using my current body to move"
"thanks to that, the next things should be a lot easier"
Talking to himself, Ye Tian yawned as he dodged a knife headed straight to his spine.
Yes all this while, the reason he wasn't fighting back was that he was using their attacks to better adjust to his current body.
After all, he was used to being the heavenly demon, a being with strength, physique, and abilities much more than his current weak self
Therefore, in order to fully display the current strength of his body, he needed to go through a period of adaption
Fortunately, it didn't take too long. Dodging all their attacks, from a bit of difficulty at the beginning, Ye Tian had now reached a point where he could do it with ease
So after confirming everything was alright and he was satisfied with his current self, Ye Tian's lips curved upwards as his eyes slightly narrowed
*clamp!*
Holding on to the knife that Sun Kai was about to use to slash if face just now, Ye Tian's next words made everyone feel a bone-chilling shiver run down their spine
"Alright, I'll stop dodging like you want"
"However, once I start, do not beg me for your lives!"
Saying this, he didn't even give anyone a chance to react as he hit Sun Kai in the ribs, knocking the knife out of his hand
"One down, thirteen more to go!" slashing Sun Kai's jugular with his knife, Ye Tian ignored the blood on his face and his clothes as he smiled towards the other members of the red knife gang
Killing Sun Kai just now made him feel a wave of heat surge through his body. Obviously, it was the ability of the demonic bead at work
"This feeling!"
"as long as I kill all of them here, I might become the peak of human cultivation, maybe even break into the qi refining stage!"
Murmuring under his lips, the red knife gang in front of him suddenly looked like the most delicious meal on the blue star.
…............
[Ye Tian Pov]
Deciding to no longer hold back against the red knife gang members, what happened next was within his expectations.
Disregarding their pleas and tears for mercy, Ye Tian began to kill them one after the other in the most brutal of ways
Stabbing their brain through their skull, crushing all their limbs before slitting their throats, using some of them as human shields while he attacked the others
As the battle went on, Ye Tian's pupils turned a familiar red, as for his hair, because he was still somewhat in control, it still remained black.
This battle made Ye Tian realize why he had chosen the demonic path on the way to ascension in the Tianxian continent
After all, other ways of cultivation such as the use of faith, martial artists, magic, and others existed
Heck even his master was one of if not the strongest being in the immortal lineage, however, he still chose to practice and create demonic arts
"haha! This is it!"
"the feeling of fear in my enemies, the feeling of their warm blood on my skin as I grow stronger with every death"
"come come! Fight me and stop running away!"
Laughing with a certain madness in his voice, Ye Tian knew about this bad habit of his.
Perhaps it was because of the influence of the demonic bead, or it was just a hidden personality of his
But inflicting death on his enemies was something that Ye Tian had come to enjoy in his period in the other world
Although not all the time, but most times, in the midst of heated battles,Ye Tian often found himself experiencing euphoria as time went on
A situation which just like now, brought uncontrollable fear into his enemies
"m-m-mosterrrr!!!" yelled one of the gang members after seeing his face
Now time had passed, and only three of them remained.
Looking at the scattered limbs and corpses all around, it seemed to be a scene straight out of a horror movie
"Stay back! Stay back!"
"we give up, please spare us!"
"I have a wife and children at home, please spare me!"
Begging for their lives, the three of them knelt down, throwing away their knives in a sign of surrender
Unfortunately, Ye Tian couldn't care less if they surrendered or had ten children with them back home.
Once a hand was pointed at him or his family, then it needed to be chopped off.
*stab!*
Not allowing them to react, Ye Tian stabbed the jugular of both two of them, leaving them to choke on their own blood
Now it was only the gang member who said he had a wife and child left.
"Tch…, don't think it's because you have a family that I left you, after all, I also have one yet you attacked me"
"I only left you because I need you to explain the situation of the red knife as well as the other gangs to me"
"Not only that, but you have to clean up this mess, and take me back to your headquarters"
Not giving him any chance for rebuttal, Ye Tian found an empty place without any blood or corpses and sat in a lotus position
"Also, you have thirty minutes to clean this place up"
Saying this, Ye Tian closed his eyes and began meditating
