"Ding! Claim successful. Complete the Legacy of Creation God of Elements Ni Xuan and Primordial Azure Dragon God from Against the Gods, and also the Miracle of Life, Eternal Calamity of Darkness Scripture, and Heaven Punishing Ancestral Sword Art are now being implanted. There will be intense pain during the process — please endure it, Host!"
The moment the system's voice faded, an overwhelming surge of primordial energy exploded within Xiao Tian's body.
First, the **Dragon God Body** awakened. A deafening dragon roar resounded in his soul as ancient **Dragon God Blood** poured into his veins like molten gold, washing every meridian and blood vessel. His bones shattered and reformed into **Dragon God Bones**, harder than divine weapons. A majestic **Dragon God Soul** descended and fused with his own, bringing with it endless draconic prestige and ancient memories. Finally, the **Dragon God Marrow** integrated into his spine, continuously producing pure dragon essence that strengthened his body without end.
Immediately after, complete the Legacy of Creation God of Elements Ni Xuan is now being implanted." The mechanical chime echoed not in his ears, but directly within the deepest recesses of his soul, signaling the end of his mortal journey and the terrifying dawn of a cosmic rebirth. Immediately after, the Creation Gods' 6 seeds merged in his body, and the sheer, unadulterated weight of their unified power destroyed all his veins, his body, and his dantian. The destruction was absolute; his human Dantian was instantly pulverized, unable to contain the infinite density of the converging forces, while his legendary Heretic God Profound Veins shattered into microscopic stardust, dissolving into the void as his physical flesh and bones tore apart at a molecular level under a violent, deafening roar. Yet, from the ashes of total annihilation, an endless mini-universe expanded outward where his veins once existed, triggering a terrifying display of absolute cosmic fusion where the physical seeds collapsed into one another. The burning, volatile fire merged directly into the ice-blue water, defying logic as the flames began to flow like liquid and the water burned with a scalding heat, which then merged into the deep purple thunder to form fluid arcs of roaring plasma carrying both the crushing weight of an ocean and the explosive speed of heavenly tribulation. This electric, boiling fluid was instantly swept up and merged into the howling, cyan-green wind, compressing the elements into a sharp vortex that slammed directly into the withered yellow earth, turning the bedrock into a shifting, sentient magma of molten rock and pressurized tremors before a pitch-black domain of absolute darkness permeated the entire mixture like ink, acting as the ultimate cosmic canvas to bind these impossible contradictions into a harmonious stream of five-colored star systems. A terrifying authority that could control the heavens themselves flooded his every cell, freeing him from the need for pathways as his entire being became the cosmic source itself. His body became a vessel of absolute creation and destruction, capable of controlling all laws and elements, allowing him to command flames to freeze or waters to burn with a single thought, wielding the dual power to breathe life into the void or trigger a localized apocalypse to erase space, matter, and souls from existence as the walking incarnation of a Creation God.
And then, Eight Ancestral Symbol Devouring, Thunderbolt, Space, Darkness, Ice, Space, Chaos, Life and Death appeared, and they merged in his dantian. Devouring and Darkness symbols merged into the Darkness Seed; Ice, Fire, and Thunderbolt symbols merged in the Fire, Water, and Thunder Seed; and the Space symbol merged in his universe domain of dantian, and the Chaos symbol merged in his bones, and the Life and Death symbol merged in his soul.
"Arghhh!!"
Xiao Tian gritted his teeth, refusing to let out a single cry as wave after wave of bone-deep agony tore through him. Black impurities mixed with dragon blood were forcefully expelled from his pores.
Half an hour later, he lay exhausted on the floor, his body covered in thick, foul-smelling black sludge.
After washing himself thoroughly in the wooden bathtub, Xiao Tian stood before the bronze mirror. His reflection left him stunned. His physique was now perfect — tall, elegant, and brimming with explosive power. A faint dragon aura and an ancient, desolate aura surrounded him, while a supreme punishing intent flickered in his sharp eyes.
"Is this the power of the Evil God and Dragon God Body?" Xiao Tian muttered, clenching his fists. A faint Azure dragon phantom roared behind him. "My body feels filled with endless strength…"
"Ding! The Legacy and Body have been successfully implanted. Now transmitting the corresponding cultivation arts and legacies."
A vast stream of information flooded into Xiao Tian's mind. The Heretic God's Secret Arts, Miracle of Life, Eternal Calamity of Darkness, and Heaven Punishing Ancestral Art appeared in his body.
It was an incredibly profound dual-cultivation method that refined both Dou Qi and Soul Power simultaneously with perfect harmony.
Since his first Dou Qi conversion had occurred not long ago, and thanks to the fixed attributes granted by the Heaven Punishing Creation God Body, the conversion took only one hour.
When Xiao Tian opened his eyes again, a faint silver Dou Qi flickered around him.
He sensed his cultivation and smiled. "Two-star Dou Practitioner… Not bad. The art was unranked, but it's now only as Earth-tier low-grade for now, but it's more than enough. I didn't expect to advance one star just from converting the technique. My senses have also sharpened significantly."
Looking at the silver light swirling above his Qi cyclone, he sighed softly. "Still need nine more stars to fully unleash this art's true power…"
The next morning, after ending his night of cultivation,
Just as he finished washing up, an old voice sounded from outside the courtyard:
"Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, the Patriarch requests your presence in the main hall. Distinguished guests have arrived."
Xiao Tian's eyes flashed. Combining this with the original plot, he immediately understood — the Cloud Mist Sect had come, and Nalan Yanran was here to forcefully annul the engagement.
The engagement was still between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran; his own transmigration hadn't changed that detail.
"Understood," Xiao Tian replied casually. He changed into a refined water-blue and white robe, then stepped out to find Xiao Yan and Butler Mo already waiting.
"Let's go, Butler Mo."
Following the butler through the back garden, the three soon arrived at the grand reception hall. The moment they pushed open the doors, they saw the room was already packed.
Xiao Zhan and the three elders sat at the head. Below them were three unfamiliar figures — two men and one strikingly beautiful young woman wearing the Cloud Mist Sect's emblem with three golden stars on her chest.
After entering, Xiao Tian immediately spotted Xiao Xun'er sitting quietly in the corner. He walked over and sat on the stool beside her. Xiao Yan followed and sat next to him.
Once seated, Xiao Tian glanced playfully at his little brother, then shifted his gaze to the young woman. She was about the same age as him, with exceptional beauty that could almost rival Xun'er's.
"A three-star Dou Practitioner?" he noted internally.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his waist. Xiao Xun'er was pinching him with a sweet smile. "Xiao Tian Ge Ge… is she pretty?"
"Not as pretty as you," Xiao Tian replied with a wry smile, gently removing the small hand from his waist.
He then turned to Xiao Yan, who looked lost in thought, and asked with a smile, "Do you know who they are?"
"You know?" Xiao Yan asked, surprised.
"Of course. See the cloud and silver sword emblem on their sleeves? They're from the Cloud Mist Sect, one of the overlords of the Jia Ma Empire. And they're here for you."
"For me?" Xiao Yan's voice dropped, puzzled.
"Yes. That young woman is Nalan Yanran, granddaughter of Marshal Nalan Jie. Sound familiar?" Xiao Tian said with a strange expression.
"Nalan Yanran? My… fiancée?" Xiao Yan's face stiffened. He glanced at the girl again, finally sensing that this visit was far from friendly.
At that moment, the old man among the three guests lightly coughed and stood up.
Xiao Tian thought to himself with amusement, Here comes the classic scene.
'As expected… this little girl single-handedly ruined the entire Hun Clan and Hun Tiandi's countless years of planning. If Hun Tiandi knew, would he personally come to force the wedding and then detonate a few Dou Zongs as celebratory fireworks?'
When Ge Ye announced he was sent by the Cloud Mist Sect's leader to annul the engagement, Xiao Zhan's face darkened instantly. The teacup in his hand turned to powder as he prepared to unleash the Furious Lion's Roar.
Before he could act, Xiao Yan stood up, walked in front of his father, bowed respectfully, then looked straight at Nalan Yanran and spoke calmly:
"Nalan Yanran, you don't need to act so aggressively or use the Cloud Mist Sect's name to pressure us. You want to annul the engagement simply because you look down on me, this so-called good-for-nothing. But how can you be so sure that I won't rise again in the future?"
The hall fell silent.
Nalan Yanran narrowed her eyes. After a brief pause, she said coldly:
"Fine. Today, I'll temporarily set aside the annulment. I'll give you three years. After three years, both of us will have come of age. Even if you lose then, it won't embarrass Uncle Xiao too much. I will wait for you at the Cloud Mist Sect. If you have the ability, show me how high you can climb. If you defeat me in three years, I will be your slave or maid — you decide. But if after three years you are still this useless, then you will obediently hand over the marriage contract."
She stared at Xiao Yan with sharp eyes.
"Do you dare accept this challenge?"
