"Damnit… that bitch has gone and done it this time around."
A cold voice edged with so much venom that the words tasted sharp came from a man standing at the edge of a mountain, clutching his side.
The side he clutched was bleeding. Despite the amount of pressure he applied, the bleeding refused to stop. He had even blocked his vital gates to lock down the injury and prevent the poison from spreading, and had tried to restrict his blood flow as well.
But the nature of the injury made it impossible. If he forced it, he would die from Qi reversal before he died from this ghastly wound.
'Ah… so much for cultivating with one thousand goddesses.'
The man looked down at the little loong between his legs. Both of them had come so far together, and this little loong wasn't so little anymore — especially since it had tasted a thousand different divine beauties.
But now was not the time to reminisce about the past.
"I must survive, at all costs. I must survive… I must obtain it."
As he muttered to himself in a poisonous yet dangerously determined voice, he heard multiple footsteps approaching him. He glanced down at the abyss beneath him.
The ground vanished into an unseen depth. The savage currents of the sea below could be heard, which alone spoke volumes of the might of its waves. The distance was too great for the body of the ocean to be seen.
So jumping down wasn't an option.
'Looks like I have to fight those damn orthodox bastards all by myself.'
They spilled out from the trees surrounding the mountain peak.
He wasn't worried one bit. Not at all.
'What is one thousand men? I've defeated ten thousand!'
But back then he wasn't bleeding profusely like this and standing naked in the heart of winter.
"Heaven-Defying Demon, today is your last day!"
"Your death has finally caught up with you!"
"I will take your head back to my former elder's grave as a reward for the wife you stole! Because of your hideous act, he died!!"
"And I will cut off that prick of yours and keep it as a family heirloom."
The man looked at all of them, hiding his pale face behind a deranged grin.
"Look at all of you… boiling with vitality just to have a piece of me…"
He shook his head.
"Such a pity I don't do men. You can bring your daughters and wives to me instead and stand in line! I don't have two heavenly spears!!"
"What?!"
"You dare!"
"You wife-thieving bastard!"
He rolled his eyes.
"Your wives were bored by you all to begin with!"
All of the best martial artists and cultivators of the thirteen great orthodox sects were gathered here together — those beneath the heavens and those above.
It was a crowd of vastly different people. Some rode on clouds low above the ground, others filled the skyline with flying swords, and some were simply capable of flight. Together they formed an arc against this naked, bleeding man.
…Poor man.
Despite the differences that tore apart the realms of Daoists, today all of them had put aside their differences. The Heavenly Realm had united with the Fate Realm, the Star Realm, the Martial Realm, and the Mortal Realm. Realms that were galaxies apart had set aside their disputes just to hunt this Demon.
This naked Demon.
The Demon smiled, so much pride climbing into his eyes that tears leaked from their corners.
"Aww, look at you all right now… standing as one, standing in unity. Daddy's so proud."
"Demon! Brainless prick! Shut up!"
"May heavenly tribulation thunder destroy your manhood."
Another voice quickly spoke in a soft whisper.
"Hey, hey now… he already raped her once. Please don't send her to him again."
The person who spoke looked genuinely surprised and whispered back.
"Oh he did? I didn't know."
"I heard the Heavenly Realm concealed the event to save face."
At that moment, a powerful voice cut through the air like a storm.
"Silence!"
Immediately all the muttering among the elders and peerless Daoists died down. The naked Demon standing at the edge of the cliff lowered his brows into a troubled frown.
The crowd parted for the owner of the voice to walk through. When the figure finally stood before them, the Naked Demon saw who it was, and his eyes darkened with terror.
"Star Mother of Ruin… so it was you."
His voice came out cold and emotionless.
"You were the one who betrayed me."
The woman stood proudly. Her slanted eyes narrowed as a cunning grin defiled her innocent-looking face. She carried two bazookas the size of mountains on her chest, and her figure would make heavenly eunuchs go mad.
She raised her head and laughed.
Her laughter was ugly, though.
"Yes. I betrayed you, Heaven-Defying Demon… you should know better than to choose that slut over me. I once told you, didn't I? I made you, and I can break you… this is for telling me to try it."
She hugged herself sensually.
"I'm going to miss your touch, and how you make me feel inside here… I secretly collected your seeds and have seven maidens carrying them. I will turn them into greater men than I made you… and then I won't miss your touch anymore."
The dark frown was still etched on the Naked Demon's face. But a moment later he straightened, removing his hand from his side.
"Did you also make her stab me? How did you do it?"
She laughed again.
"You have a lot of enemies, Shi Lan. And you're never careful."
She clicked her tongue and shook her head.
"Even though they hated me, the String Elders from the Fate Realm were willing to work with me—as long as your downfall was certain."
The next moment, however, the Demon smiled.
"Whew… for a moment there, I thought you were stronger than I calculated."
His smile and relief immediately offended the woman to great lengths. Her face twisted in fury, and all her innocent beauty turned appalling.
"Star Mother, you did not make me… we used each other. You wanted the satisfaction. I was searching for something in your body. That was simply what it was."
His gaze drifted toward the Daoists. Even more had appeared behind them, filling the mountain peak so completely that it was difficult to see the ground — only a sea of robes in different colors.
"And so you have conjured all these shallow beggars to come apprehend me? You think this will be enough?"
Despite his pain, the Demon breathed in… and out. Then he raised his hands to the sky.
"You all want to die so badly? Fine. I'll show you what death looks like."
