After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

Zhou Ran sat cross-legged in the center of the ruins.

The surrounding area was filled with collapsed concrete debris.

The steel bars were twisted into bizarre shapes, and blue smoke was rising from the broken ends.

Bai Xuan spewed out white spore threads that intertwined in the air.

In less than three seconds, it wove into a thick, inverted cocoon.

Zhou Ran was completely sealed off.

These mycelia are not ordinary plant fibers.

They possess extremely strong parasitic and penetrating properties.

The moment it touches the skin's surface, it transforms into a sharp needle, forcefully piercing into Zhou Ran's pores.

The karmic resentment of ten thousand people rampages through the meridians.

That feeling is like being pierced by a thousand arrows at once.

Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would have already suffered a qi deviation and become possessed by demons.

But Zhou Ran did not.

He made an extremely crazy decision.

The defenses of the dantian and dantian were completely removed.

The spiritual barrier in his sea of ​​consciousness also withdrew, allowing the old demon to come and go as he pleased.

All protective gear was removed.

This demonic body, forged through countless trials, has been completely transformed into an undefended city.

The doorway was wide open.

Bai Xuan's mycelium was originally just probing the periphery.

They coveted even the slightest trace of lingering resentment.

To everyone's surprise, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

It leads directly to the core of this perfect demonic body.

The thousand-year-old spirit was stunned.

Then his eyes almost popped out.

Greed overwhelmed all reason.

"Boss!"

I have let you down!

Bai Xuan let out a piercing, maniacal laugh from the outside world.

The umbrella canopy trembled violently.

He poured all the accumulated primordial essence into Zhou Ran's body without reservation.

The lush green mycelium army marched straight in.

It was directly approaching Zhou Ran's Demonic Path Platform.

Bai Xuan was already planning his wonderful life after successfully possessing the body.

"This demonic body is mine now!"

"This is the last time I'll call you boss!"

"I'll take good care of your sisters-in-law!"

The mycelium touched the edge of the platform.

Bai Xuan's laughter stopped abruptly.

A furious roar came from the depths of his mind.

"You bastard!"

"How dare those lowly fungi growing on mere grave mounds defile my very body!"

The remnant soul of Ye Futian was in complete uproar.

The black demonic soul stirred up a monstrous wave.

It plunged directly down from the sea of ​​consciousness.

It ran head-on into the mycelium that was frantically taking root in the Qi Sea.

The entire cap of the white mushroom had frozen solid.

It turned its head to look at the cloud of black mist.

What the hell?!

Shouldn't Zhou Ran's demonic skills originate from the demonic path?

What? There's a remnant soul in his sea of ​​consciousness?!

"Who...who are you?!"

Bai Xuan's voice even changed tone.

"How can there be an old monster living inside this body?!"

The demonic soul of Ye Futian coalesced into a hideous ghost face.

He stared intently at Bai Xuan.

"I am Ye Futian, the Ancient Demon Emperor!"

"Who do you think you are, daring to challenge me for this body?!"

Bai Xuan was stunned for three seconds.

Then a sharp laugh erupted.

"Demon Emperor?

"You?"

"I've lived for a thousand years, what kind of grand scene haven't I seen?"

"Your remnant soul is less than one ten-thousandth of your original form, isn't it?"

"Still dare to act all high and mighty here?"

The night air was so intense that even demonic souls trembled.

"court death!"

Two completely different alien forces engaged in a fierce battle within Zhou Ran's limbs and bones.

The demonic soul that lured the night sky transformed into a sharp blade.

They frantically severed Bai Xuan's tentacles.

Bai Xuan was screaming in pain outside.

Yet they were unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to possess another's body.

It desperately drew upon Zhou Ran's resentment and its own yin energy from his dantian to reinforce his defenses.

"Old man!"

Do you still think you're the Demon Emperor you once were?!

Bai Xuan screamed in agony as he fought back.

"You're not even worth a fart now!"

Ye Futian cursed angrily.

Various lost magical spells rained down on the mycelium.

"Even if I'm just a remnant soul, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant!"

"Get out of here!"

Black demonic flames burned within Zhou Ran's meridians.

The mycelium of the white fungus sizzled as it burned.

Vast areas withered.

But this spirit is no pushover either.

It frantically absorbed the resentment from the dantian.

The poisonous fog, now green, retaliated.

"I'll show you what true malice is today!"

The two fought fiercely.

I didn't notice at all.

The host, who should have been in unbearable pain, was watching this farce with extreme indifference.

Zhou Ran's consciousness remained firmly on the altar.

He watched the dog-eat-dog drama unfold inside his body.

An extreme sense of pleasure welled up inside me.

These parasites who are always scheming against him.

I've finally tasted what it's like to be used as a pawn.

Originally, both the person and the mushroom were just going through the motions.

But when it comes to fighting for control of one's own body, things are different.

Zhou Ran clearly felt that the enormous resentment in his dantian was being drawn out in large swathes by the two of them.

Some were refined into demonic energy.

Some are refined into the essence of plants and trees.

Either way, it will be of great benefit to oneself.

He not only didn't stop it.

Instead, they began to secretly manipulate the situation.

Ye Futian was, after all, the former Demon Emperor.

The remnant soul possesses profound depth.

They were about to uproot the white mycelium.

Zhou Ran calmly spared a sliver of his attention.

Deep within his mind, he silently recited the "Mahavairocana Buddha Purification Mantra".

The golden Buddhist mantras transformed into chains.

It entangled the demonic soul of Ye Futian at the back of his legs.

"You brat!"

What are you doing!

"Quickly remove the Buddhist seal!"

Ye Futian screamed in agony as he was scalded by the Buddha's light.

The offensive has been greatly reduced.

Seeing this, Bai Xuan thought he had found a flaw.

The mycelium launched another counterattack.

It frantically devoured the demonic energy mixed with resentment.

"Hahaha!

You old fool, you've finally met your match!

Bai Xuan was overjoyed.

"I'll devour your remnant soul along with me!"

When Bai Xuan gained the upper hand.

When attempting to touch the foundation platform.

Zhou Ran stopped chanting the incantation again.

Night fell, and the sky finally caught its breath.

He immediately turned the gun around.

"Fuck bacteria!

Prepare to die!

The demonic flames surged threefold.

They routed Bai Xuan, leaving him utterly defeated and disarmed.

In this tug-of-war.

Bai Xuan became the perfect filter.

It absorbed the karmic resentment of ten thousand people into its body.

It was then burned and purified by demonic fire during the battle against Ye Futian.

As for the soul-snatching hook hidden in the "Transformation Wish Sutra" taught by the old demon.

They all stuck to the white mycelium.

They were all unintentionally eliminated by this monster.

The energy is extremely pure, with no impurities or hidden dangers.

It continuously poured into Zhou Ran's Qi Sea.

The purple and black demonic altar began to greedily devour these highly nourishing substances.

Foundation Building Stage 5!

Zhou Ran's meridians began to widen.

Foundation Building Stage 6!

That immense demonic energy propelled his cultivation level forward at breakneck speed.

Until that invisible barrier is broken through.

Peak of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment!

A beam of purplish-gold light shot into the sky from Zhou Rantian's spiritual realm.

The white spore cocoons encased in the outer layer crumbled inch by inch.

Turned into dust.

The turbulent vortex of spiritual energy spread outward from Zhou Ran as the center.

Bai Xuan suffered a tremendous backlash.

The originally enormous umbrella canopy has shrunk to the size of a palm.

It fell to the ground with a thud.

The mycelium all over its body was withered and listless.

His face was filled with a look of utter despair, as if he had been completely drained of his life force.

"Boss..."

I just...

I was just kidding.

"Let's liven things up a bit."

Bai Xuan lay on the ground.

His eyes were filled with terror.

He kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhou Ran brushed the dust off the hem of her clothes.

I didn't even glance at it.

"Master."

Zhou Ran spoke in his mind.

"Thank you so much for your generosity and for sharing your wonderful methods."

"This 'Vow Transformation Sutra' is indeed very useful."

"I have learned a lot from you, my disciple."

The night was filled with the evil spirits that were on the verge of collapse.

It roared wildly in its sea of ​​consciousness.

All sorts of foul language were constantly heard.

He realized that he had been used by this kid again.

Ultimately, overwhelmed by anger, he completely severed his senses and fell into a deathly silence.

Zhou Ran stretched his muscles and bones.

The black jade unicorn pattern on his left arm had disappeared beneath the skin and was no longer frenzied.

In his current state, he is capable of suppressing this raging bloodline power for a short period of time.

Stepping over the wreckage, Zhou Ran walked towards the gate.

The night wind stirred up dust.

A tall figure was walking slowly across the rubble of the ruins.

Li Zhiyao was wearing that spotless, moon-white cheongsam.

High heels tread on the broken walls and ruins.

She stopped in her tracks.

Her beautiful eyes scanned Zhou Ran, whose demeanor had undergone a dramatic change.

Her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Are you full?"

Li Zhiyao's tone was cold.

He tossed out a yellow paper talisman and stuck it on the wall.

"It's time to go down into the tomb and get to work."
