Azure Cloud City, dead of night.
Every house was locked tight. The streets were completely empty.
People whispered in fear:
"The Lin Family trash actually stepped on the Sophia Family's heaven's pride today… blood is definitely going to flow like rivers tomorrow!"
Inside the Lin Family's most luxurious courtyard—the former patriarch's personal palace—Ali sat cross-legged on a jade bed.
In front of him was a mountain of sparkling spirit stones: exactly 100,000 pieces.
The system interface floated before his eyes.
[Ding! Demon King Shop daily refresh complete!]
[Because host's luck is heaven-defying, limited-time discount item appeared:]
[Primordial Chaos Demon God Bloodline Essence (1 drop) – Original price: 5,000,000 points → Current price: 150,000 points only!]
Ali's eyes burned like black flames.
He currently had 50,000 points.
He was short exactly 100,000.
He stood up, gripped the Primordial Chaos Sword, and vanished into the darkness.
…
Sophia Family Main Hall.
Elder Lu was kneeling on the ground, trembling as he reported to the patriarch.
"Patriarch! That boy… is no human! The pressure that came from his body was pure Demon God aura! Even I, at Spirit Sea 5th layer, couldn't move!"
Patriarch Sophia's face was twisted with rage.
"A trash dared to reduce my daughter to that state? Tomorrow at dawn, the entire Sophia Family will wipe the Lin Family off the map!"
At that exact moment—
BOOM!!!!!!
The main gate of the Sophia Family exploded into dust!
A black figure stepped through the smoke, long black robe fluttering without wind, blood-red eyes glowing in the dark.
"Sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry."
Ali smiled lazily.
"Are the 10 million spirit stones ready? Or should I collect them myself… along with your entire family's luck?"
Seven elders in the hall instantly stood up. Terrifying spiritual pressure crushed down!
Patriarch Sophia himself was Spirit Sea 9th layer—the strongest expert in Azure Cloud City!
"Brat, you walked into your own grave!"
Seven elders attacked at once. Giant palm prints made of pure spiritual energy slammed toward Ali!
But Ali only took one step forward.
[Ding! Activating one-time skill: Demon God Descent! (1/1)]
CRACK—!!!
The sky above Azure Cloud City split open!
A 100,000-foot tall shadow of a black Demon God appeared behind Ali. It had six horns, twelve wings of darkness, and one vertical eye that looked down on the entire mortal world.
"Death."
The Demon God shadow pointed a single finger.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Seven Spirit Sea experts exploded into blood mist in less than a blink—no corpses, no souls, nothing remained!
Their nascent souls were directly swallowed by the Demon God shadow!
Patriarch Sophia fell flat on his butt, his eyes filled with horror.
[Ding! Killed 7 Spirit Sea Realm experts → Obtained 700,000 Demon King points!]
[Ding! Demon King Talent activated → Permanently stole 10% talent and luck from each killed enemy!]
[Host's cultivation talent upgraded → Immortal Emperor Grade!]
The Demon God shadow vanished.
Ali now had over 750,000 points!
He slowly walked toward the trembling patriarch and crouched down.
"Your turn."
He took out an upgraded Luck Plunder Card.
"No… NOOOOO!!!" Patriarch Sophia screamed.
Too late.
Golden light representing the Sophia Family's thousand-year accumulated fortune rushed out of the patriarch's body and poured straight into Ali!
[Ding! Sophia Family's entire luck successfully plundered!]
[Host's luck value: 999,999+ (Maximum measurable limit broken!)]
[Heavenly Dao is enraged!]
[Hidden mission triggered: First Defiance of Heaven!]
[Reward: Instant breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Realm + Heavenly Dao Fragment ×3 + Random Immortal Weapon]
BOOM!
A terrifying pillar of black and gold light shot from Ali's body straight into the sky!
Dark clouds gathered. Nine heavenly tribulations thundered furiously, trying to strike him down!
Ali looked up and laughed maniacally.
"Old heavens, you want to kill me?
Come! Today I'll rob you blind!"
He raised his middle finger toward the sky.
RUMBLE—!!!
The first heavenly lightning, thick as a mountain, struck down!
Ali didn't dodge. He opened his mouth and swallowed it whole!
[Ding! Swallowed first heavenly lightning → Converted into 1,000,000 pure spiritual energy!]
[Automatic breakthrough → Foundation Establishment 1st layer!]
Second lightning… swallowed!
Third… swallowed!
By the ninth lightning, Ali had reached Foundation Establishment 9th layer in one breath!
The Heavenly Dao let out an angry roar that shook the continent, then unwillingly spat out three more Heavenly Dao Fragments and a golden immortal sword before retreating.
The entire Azure Cloud City knelt on the ground, trembling.
They had just witnessed a mortal… rob the heavens themselves!
Ali stood in the ruins of the Sophia Family hall, black robe fluttering, eyes glowing red.
System voice sounded again:
[Congratulations! Host has completed First Defiance of Heaven!]
[Reward issued:]
Three Heavenly Dao Fragments
Immortal Weapon: Heaven Severing Blade
New function unlocked: Demon Servant System (Can turn defeated enemies into loyal demon slaves)
Ali looked at the only survivor—Patriarch Sophia, now no different from a mortal.
"From today, the Sophia Family belongs to me.
You… will be my first dog."
He pressed a finger between the patriarch's eyebrows.
Black demonic seal appeared!
Patriarch Sophia's eyes became empty, then he knelt and kowtowed:
"Master!"
Ali turned and walked into the night.
Behind him, the entire Sophia Family treasury automatically flew into his system inventory—billions of spirit stones, countless pills and techniques.
He opened the Demon King Shop.
That drop of Primordial Chaos Demon God Bloodline Essence?
He bought it without blinking.
The moment the drop entered his body…
BOOM!
His blood boiled. Black demonic patterns covered his skin. Two small black horns grew on his forehead.
A new system notification shook the heavens:
[Ding! Primordial Chaos Demon God bloodline awakened 0.01%!]
[Host has officially stepped onto the path of the Supreme Demon Ancestor!]
[All future sign-in rewards ×1000 permanently!]
Ali looked toward the far horizon where bigger sects and hidden clans were sleeping.
A cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Time to wake up, little ants.
Your Demon Ancestor… is coming to collect rent."
