This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

The last Shadow Dancer of the Heisei era did not want to commit seppuku, but he did not want to die at the hands of his enemies, so he had no choice but to commit suicide.

A suicide method created in the Japanese region!
"Aww! You Chinese player, you can't defeat me!"

With a roar, the Shadow Dancer unleashed countless clones around his body!
"I am the last Shadow Dancer of the Heisei era! I represent the glory of the Japanese region!"

"Even if I die today, I'll drag you down with me!"

"Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques!"

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique - Self-Destruction Technique!"

Centuries after the birth of seppuku (ritual suicide by disembowelment), the Japanese region discarded its dross and kept its essence, creating a new method of suicide.

Disembowelment is dross, suicide is essence.

The new method of suicide is self-destruction!

He can kill enemies while committing suicide; it's practically a perfect skill!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Dozens of shadow clones identical to the Shadow Dancer instantly appeared around him, each radiating terrifying energy fluctuations, clearly preparing to self-destruct.

Jiang Liu: “.”

"Heh, that's kind of funny."

Seeing the large number of clones around him, Jiang Liu couldn't help but smile contemptuously. He stepped forward and instantly retreated dozens of steps, while the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand shone brightly.

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

"Aaaaaah! Amaterasu grants me power! Explode, explosion, explosion!"

boom! boom! boom!
The golden sword light collided with the shadow clones instantly, producing a series of deafening roars.

Before those shadow clones could even self-destruct, they were completely purified by the righteous energy of the golden sword light, leaving not even a trace of energy fluctuation.

"No!"

The Shadow Dancer let out a shrill scream. He never imagined that his ultimate move wouldn't even scratch a hair on Jiang Liu's head.

His body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness.

Jiang Liu slowly walked up to the Shadow Dancer and looked down at him.

"The last shadow dancer of the Heisei era? Is that all the skill he has?"

Jiang Liu glanced down at the Shadow Dancer lying on the ground, utterly defeated!
"With such limited skills, you dare to call yourself a top player in the Japanese region?"

He scoffed and raised his hand to kill the last Shadow Dancer of the Heisei era.

Even if you kill me, you still can't defeat the players from the Eastern Japan region!

Seeing that he was doomed, the Shadow Dancer showed no sign of fear or begging for mercy. Instead, his will to die soared, and he roared at Jiang Liu, "My Eastern Japan region has the first Heavenly Prince of the Reiwa era!"

"The first Heavenly Prince of the Reiwa era will surely lead our Japanese region to victory over your Chinese server!"

Jiang Liu's history is not good; he doesn't even know what year the Heisei era was, let alone the Reiwa era.

The end of the Heisei era, the beginning of the Reiwa era.
Goodness, as expected of the Japanese region, they really are this chuunibyou (delusional).

[You have killed a player from the Asia server's Japanese region—the Last Shadow Dancer of the Heisei Era—Yamada Taro.]

Pfft, what an ordinary name.

After casually clearing out a wave of players from the Japanese server who had intruded, Jiang Liu's steps did not stop.

His main purpose in coming to the Blood Demon Deep Sea was to farm merit points. Although he has earned quite a bit by killing a bunch of Japanese players, he is still far from his goal.

"Go deeper! The Blood Demon Deep Sea is so vast, there must be many more demonic lairs waiting for me to clean up!"

Jiang Liu let out a low shout, and with a light step, his figure shot off like an arrow, flying deeper into the Blood Demon Sea.

Deep within the Blood Demon Sea, the demonic energy is hundreds of times denser than on the outskirts. As far as the eye can see, the seawater is pitch black, with various twisted tentacles and unknown skeletons floating in it. Occasionally, one can hear eerie roars from the deep sea, sending chills down one's spine.

Jiang Liu, wielding the Righteous Qi Sword and possessing a series of top-tier skills such as the Ten Heavens of Soaring Clouds, the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword, and the Ten Directions Suppressing Fist, showed no fear and rampaged through the territory of the demonic path.

Sudden.

"Hehehe, fresh flesh and blood!"

A sharp roar came from behind the nearby reef, and then a huge octopus monster suddenly rushed out, its dozens of tentacles lashing wildly at the river like steel whips.

This octopus monster has reached the peak of the Integration Stage, making it a minor overlord in the depths of the Blood Demon Sea.

If it were an ordinary NPC in the Fusion stage, it would probably be torn to pieces by its tentacles in an instant.

Jiang Liu merely glanced at it indifferently and then gently turned his wrist.

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

A low shout, a voice brimming with righteous indignation, boomed like thunder in the octopus monster's ears.

The octopus monster froze instantly, its dozens of tentacles hanging in mid-air, its eyes filled with terror.

Before it could react, a golden sword light flashed and disappeared.

puff!
Without any suspense, the octopus monster at the peak of the Fusion stage, along with its dozens of tentacles, was instantly cut in half by the sword light. Black blood spurted out, but before it even hit the sea surface, it was completely purified by the righteous energy.

You have slain the Blood Demon Deep Sea Demon Chapter, a peak-stage Fusion Realm demon.

Similar scenes played out repeatedly along the way.

A demonic shark in the Nascent Soul stage, a siren in the early Integration stage, and a demonic lord in the late Integration stage.
Time passed slowly, and Jiang Liu didn't know how long he had been flying. He only felt that the demonic energy around him was getting denser and denser, and even the light of the Righteous Qi Sword began to dim a little.

He flew for over an hour in the Blood Demon Deep Sea, surrounded by demonic energy and with limited visibility, and he had no idea where he had ended up.

How far are we from Zhongzhou at this point?
One hundred thousand miles?
Two hundred thousand miles?

One million miles?
Tens of thousands of miles?
Just then, Jiang Liu suddenly felt his vision brighten up, and when he looked up instinctively, he was filled with surprise.

A massive canopy appeared on the horizon ahead, resembling a giant lid that enveloped the deepest part of the Blood Demon Sea.

The surface of the canopy shimmered with a faint purple light, and was engraved with various strange runes, exuding an eerie aura.

"what is that?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes. He quickened his pace and flew towards the sky.

As he approached the canopy of sky, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Asia server boundary barrier detected. Attempt to enter?]

"Asia server boundary barrier?!"

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up instantly: "Holy crap! So this is the passage to the Asia server? I've found the way to the Asia server!"

Upon hearing that it was a gateway to the Asian server, he immediately became excited and filled with anticipation.

Now that I've found the Asia server region, can I finally go and have some fun on the Asia server?

After killing demonic monsters for over ten days, I'm almost sick of it. This is a good time to relax with some PPK.

"Enter! We must enter!"

Jiang Liu didn't even think about it and immediately selected "confirm".

However, just as his hand was about to touch the purple canopy, a powerful repulsive force suddenly came from the canopy, violently bouncing his body back.

Bang!
Jiang Liu was knocked back dozens of steps by the repulsive force before he could barely regain his balance.

His face was completely bewildered.

"What?! What's going on? Why can't I get in?" [Player detected as belonging to the Chinese server faction. The Asia server's boundary barrier restricts entry for Chinese server players; entry is impossible.]

The system notification sound was like a bucket of cold water poured over Jiang Liu's head.

"A policy restricting entry?!"

Jiang Liu's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with utter bewilderment.

No, players from the Asian server can come to our Chinese server, but players from our Chinese server can't even visit your server?

Double standards!
You, the planner, aren't you our god?
idiot!

"Why?! Why can players from the Japanese server swagger into our Chinese server's Blood Demon Deep Sea to grind monsters, while I'm turned away just because I want to visit the Asian server?"

Jiang Liu grew angrier the more he thought about it. He suddenly raised the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand, and his spiritual energy surged wildly into the sword.

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

A thousand-foot-long golden sword beam suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a world-destroying power, and fiercely slashed down towards the purple sky!

He wanted to see just how strong this so-called Asian server boundary barrier really was!
boom!
The golden sword light collided with the purple sky in an instant, producing a deafening roar.

The terrifying energy shockwave spread outwards, instantly evaporating the surrounding seawater into water vapor and creating a huge vacuum area.

However, to everyone's surprise, the purple sky only trembled slightly, and the runes on its surface flickered a few times, completely neutralizing the power of the golden sword light.

Not even a scratch was left!

"How can this be?!"

A look of disbelief flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes.

His sword strike could instantly kill even a peak Integration Stage expert, and even a Mahayana Stage expert would have to temporarily avoid its edge. How could it not even break through a boundary barrier?
The system notification sounded again the very next second after he attacked the sky.

Please explore the areas mentioned earlier later.

Jiang Liu: “.”

That sounds familiar!
Unwilling to give up, he tried several more times, but neither the Ten Heavens of Soaring Heaven, nor the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword, nor even the Ten Directions Suppressing Fist could cause any damage to the purple sky.

Please explore the areas mentioned earlier later.

Please explore the areas mentioned earlier later.

Please explore the areas mentioned earlier later.

In the end, Jiang Liu had no choice but to give up.

"Alright, alright, let's let them go this time."

Jiang Liu took a deep breath. Anyway, the foreign server will open sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if it takes a few days, months or years.

Even so, Jiang Liu was still filled with displeasure.

It's like your own yard, where others can freely come in and steal chickens and dogs, but you want to visit someone else's yard but are refused entry. Anyone would be unhappy in that situation!

"Just you wait! Sooner or later, I'll go have some fun on the Asia server map!"

Jiang Liu gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

After saying that, he turned and flew back the way he came.

Since I can't go to the Asian server, I can only continue to grind merit points overseas.

He got there, and he got back the same way.

However, to Jiang Liu's surprise, when he returned the way he came, he found that the demonic creatures had become unusually scarce.

He flew for a whole day, and apart from encountering a few little demon cubs in the Integration stage, he didn't even encounter a single demonic creature in the Tribulation stage.

Not to mention the Demon Island!

In the past, he could easily find a hidden demonic island by flying a short distance. It was teeming with demonic creatures, and it was incredibly satisfying to hunt them down. He could earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of merit points in one go.

But now?

I ran myself ragged, and all I earned in a day was a little over 100,000 merit points, which is less than a fraction of what I used to earn!
"What the hell is going on?!"

Jiang Liu's face was full of doubt. Could it be that I have killed too many people recently and wiped out all the demonic creatures overseas?

impossible!

The overseas map is so vast, and there are countless demonic creatures. Even if I kill them all, it's impossible for me to wipe them all out.
Or perhaps the developers were unhappy that I could so easily obtain a mid-grade immortal armor and a low-grade immortal jewelry set, so they deliberately reduced the number of monsters I had to kill?
That's absolutely infuriating.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

Soon, another three days passed.

Looking at the tens of thousands of merit points he earned every day, Jiang Liu couldn't help but sigh deeply. He finally understood.

Merit points acquisition speed halved!

The number of monsters spawning overseas has been drastically reduced!
That damn planner personally took action to punish me!
At the previous pace, he only needed twenty days to exchange for the mid-grade immortal armor and the low-grade immortal jewelry set.

But now, it will take at least thirty days!
Damn it, what's the point of delaying my progress by more than ten days?

A few days later, he understood the significance of it.

As the days went by, Jiang Liu traveled to various corners of the overseas world, searching for any scattered magical creatures.

Sometimes, he could only accumulate tens of thousands of merit points in a day, which made him so frustrated that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Over the past two weeks, his merit points have gradually accumulated to more than three million.

Although the growth rate is slow, it is at least constantly increasing.

However, we were still a step too late!
On this day, just as Jiang Liu had killed a demonic NPC at the Fusion stage, a system notification that resounded throughout the game suddenly rang in his mind.

[Server-wide Announcement]

The core strongholds of the overseas demonic sects have been completely destroyed, and the core sects of the righteous path in the Central Plains have been completely wiped out.

[Overseas outpost mission enters final stage]

The righteous faction (NPCs below the Mahayana stage + players) and the demonic faction (NPCs below the Mahayana stage + demonic NPCs) will engage in a final battle!

[Final Battle Location: Border of Zhongzhou]

[Final Battle Time: Three Days Later]

[Final Battle Reward: All members of the victor's faction gain +1 realm]

[Final Battle Penalty: All members of the losing faction -1 level]

The system notification sounded like a thunderclap, echoing across the entire Central Plains map.

After a brief silence, all the players on the Central Plains map erupted in exclamations.

Righteous players are overjoyed, while demonic players are wailing!
Given the current power dynamics of the NPCs, how can the demonic path possibly defeat the righteous path?

Wasn't Chun Chun just hung up and beaten?
Players of the Demonic Path are suffering terribly. Following Demonic Path NPCs, they not only go hungry twice a day for three days, but they also lose a level! (End of Chapter)
