- Chapter 1-4:
Chapter 1: The Extremely Unlucky Transmigrator:
In the eastern part of the Tianyun Empire, within one of the 36 major cities, Tianye City, a man stood at the highest point of Tianye City, gazing over the entire city.
This man looked to be about 30 years old, handsome and with an extraordinary aura.
However, in his eyes, there was a sense of weariness that seemed to come from many years of hardship, as if he were an old man in his seventies or eighties.
In reality, this was true.
Thinking of this, the man sighed and began to recall everything he had experienced.
His name was Xiao Lingfeng, born 70 years ago. To be precise, he transmigrated into the body of a young child in this world 70 years ago.
When he was born, his family was one of the four major families in Tianye City. But now, through his own iron-fisted methods, the Xiao family had become the only noble family left in the entire Tianye City.
Even the City Lord's Mansion, which had once been above the four major families, was now tightly suppressed by him, not daring to be arrogant anymore.
Besides his own methods, the main reason for all this was his powerful martial strength.
Yes, martial strength!
The world he transmigrated to was called the Martial God Continent, a world of martial cultivation.
In this world, martial artists were the mainstream. Those with great strength could do whatever they wanted.
Even a powerful Martial Emperor Realm could establish an empire and control the lives of millions. The Tianyun Empire, where he was, was such an existence.
Although he wasn't that powerful, he was a peak Martial Commander Realm. This level of strength made him unmatched in the 36 cities of the east.
The reason he had such strength wasn't because he was a transmigrator or because he had a good family. Although these two factors existed, the most important reason was his willingness to risk his life.
As a transmigrator, he was destined to fail because he didn't have any system and even the reason for his transmigration was laughable.
In his previous life, he lived to be over 80 years old and died of old age. After waking up, he found himself in this world.
Because he had lived long enough, he understood the value of power.
So he was very sensible from a young age.

Because he had lived long enough, he understood the value of power.
So he was very sensible from a young age.
While normal children were still learning to walk, he was already reading and writing.
At the age of three, when other children were playing, he was already studying the unique martial arts and techniques of this world.
By the age of eight, when other children were just starting their basic martial arts training, he had already begun practicing martial arts, thanks to the special body refining elixirs purchased by his father, the head of the Xiao family, at great expense.
He didn't disappoint his father.

He didn't disappoint his father.
Starting martial arts training at eight, he reached the Martial Warrior Realm by nine after making a breakthrough into the 9th stage Body Refinement Realm.
By the age of twelve, when his peers were just beginning their Body Refinement training, he had already reached the Martial Master Realm.
To quickly improve his strength, he entered the nearby beast forest to hone his combat skills through life-and-death battles with monsters, all to ensure he lived a better life.
By the age of sixteen, he had reached the Great Martial Master Realm. He anonymously participated in the Tianyun Tournament hosted by the royal family and achieved remarkable results, receiving substantial rewards.
With these rewards and his reckless attitude, he continuously improved his cultivation. By the age of twenty, he had reached the Martial General Realm, becoming one of the top experts in the Xiao family.
At twenty-five, during a battle with a fifth-rank beast, he made a breakthrough into the martial commander Realm.
However, after reaching the Martial Commander Realm, he realized the true importance of talent in this martial-dominated world.
His cultivation speed slowed significantly after reaching the Martial Commander Realm, not just because of the higher difficulty in advancing. He understood that his body's talent had almost reached its limit.
But he was unwilling to accept this.
After witnessing the unparalleled prowess of Martial King Realm and Martial Emperor Realm experts in the capital, he aspired to be like them or even surpass them.
Refusing to give up, he decided to make a breakthrough by fighting life-and-death battles, as described in novels.
Thus, he began his reckless journey, constantly battling monsters two or three levels higher and fighting skilled martial artists and assassins in deadly duels to sharpen his combat skills and push his limits.
Through this life-risking approach, he successfully reached the peak of the Martial Commander Realm by the age of thirty.
However, after the peak period of talent at thirty, his cultivation stagnated. Gradually, he accepted his fate. After all, a Martial Commander Realm expert had an average lifespan of 200 years. As the uncrowned king of a city, living a carefree life for 200 years wasn't a bad choice.
Over the next 40 years, he continuously developed various industries. While many were legitimate, more were shady businesses conducted in the shadows.

Over the next 40 years, he continuously developed various industries. While many were legitimate, more were shady businesses conducted in the shadows.
Chapter 2: The System Finally Arrives:
With these businesses, he made a fortune. Although he was only a Martial Commander Realm cultivator, he was wealthier than many Martial King Realm experts.
This life greatly satisfied Xiao Lingfeng, who had been just an ordinary person in his previous life.
However, a few years ago, his highly sensitive Martial Commander Realm body started feeling increasingly weak. He consulted many high-level alchemists, but none could diagnose his condition.
Finally, he went to the royal capital and spent a fortune to consult Master Cang Yun, the only sixth-rank alchemist.
But Master Cang Yun brought bad news.
Xiao Lingfeng's body had accumulated countless hidden injuries from excessive battles. These hidden injuries, though dormant in his youth, would progressively erode his body as he aged.
Master Cang Yun estimated that, given the severity of these injuries, they would fully manifest after he turned 70. At that point, his body would weaken day by day until he was less healthy than an ordinary person.
Although Master Cang Yun prescribed medication, it was ineffective.
The prescription could only slow down the backlash of the hidden injuries, delaying his death.
In the best-case scenario, if he stayed bedridden and took pills continuously, he might live up to 100 years.
It was absurd.
A Martial Commander Realm expert typically had an average lifespan of 200 years, but he could only live half of that.
Moreover, the process would be excruciating and perilous.
Master Cang Yun’s pills couldn’t alleviate the pain, so to survive those 30 years, he would have to endure immense suffering.
Additionally, his strength would gradually drop, and he couldn’t guarantee that his subordinates, both overt and covert, wouldn’t take advantage of his weakened state.
Thus, he made a decision.
At 70, while he still had ample strength, he would risk everything one more time and strive to make a breakthrough into the Martial King realm.
Reaching the Martial King Realm would extend his lifespan by another 100 years, temporarily delaying the backlash of his hidden injuries.
But this method was dangerous.
If he failed to make a breakthrough, the backlash from the failed breakthrough combined with his hidden injuries could kill him.
Even so, he had to try.
In his previous life, he had died of old age.
He loathed that powerless state of lingering on the verge of death, unable to die or live well.
So, in this life, he would rather die decisively.
Reflecting on his not-so-glorious, not-so-noble, but fulfilling life, Xiao Lingfeng felt he had lived this second life without regrets.
As he prepared to attempt the uncertain breakthrough to the Martial King Realm at the top of the Xiao family tower, a structure taller than the City Lord’s mansion and a symbol of the Xiao family’s status in Tianye City, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Detecting that the world's Heavenly Dao has completely fallen asleep, the Ultimate Villain System is activating]
As Xiao Lingfeng listened to this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, he realized his golden finger had finally arrived.
He felt a mix of excitement, resentment, and a strong urge to smash this thing.
But now wasn't the time for that.
Systems were known for their vast capabilities and might even cure his deadly hidden injuries. So, he decided to hold off smashing it and see what functions it offered.
Following the method from novels, Xiao Lingfeng communicated with the system in his mind. “Are you my golden finger, the system?”
[Yes, the Ultimate Villain System is at your service]
The system immediately responded.
“What functions do you have?” Xiao Lingfeng asked.
[Ding! This system is the Ultimate Villain System. As the name implies, it empowers you by killing the protagonists destined to become the world's heroes. By doing so, you can enhance your own strength.
As the system’s host, you can obtain destiny points from killing the protagonists or obstructing their plans and actions. These destiny points can be exchanged for anything you need in the system’s shop]
“If killing protagonists is all it takes, why are you activating only now?” Xiao Lingfeng voiced his biggest doubt.
[Host, that’s because killing protagonists tends to anger the world’s Heavenly Dao. Every world’s Heavenly Dao treats its protagonists as its beloved children, making them difficult to kill. Hence, this system specifically chose this world for your transmigration]
“What makes this world different?” Xiao Lingfeng asked curiously.
Having been in this world for decades, he found its basic structure similar to typical cultivation worlds. Strictly speaking, this world didn’t differ much from other cultivation worlds.
[You guessed right, Host. This world is indeed very different, making it suitable for our villainous actions. In normal worlds, the Heavenly Dao cherishes its protagonists, and anyone attempting to harm them faces the Dao’s ruthless retaliation.
If we acted rashly in such worlds, our fate would be no better than the typical villains in novels, who either get forcibly dumbed down or crushed by the protagonists’ golden fingers.
And if we anger the Heavenly Dao here, our outcome won’t be much better than those novel villains]

Chapter 3: The System's Generous Compensation:
"But if we operate in this world, things are quite different because this is an extremely powerful world."
"A very powerful world? Wouldn't that make the Heavenly Dao even stronger and our mission more difficult?" Xiao Lingfeng asked, puzzled.
[Ding! Under normal circumstances, you are correct. However, the Heavenly Dao of this world is different; it is very ambitious, which makes this world quite abnormal.
This Heavenly Dao is not satisfied with the status thing and wants to further enhance its power. The way it enhances its power is by producing cultivators with enough strength to drive the world’s advancement.
This is why Heavenly Dao treats protagonists like its own children.
But this ambitious Heavenly Dao, after cultivating several Chosen Ones, didn't achieve the desired results. The Chosen Ones failed to break the world's limits. Consequently, instead of succeeding, the Heavenly Dao depleted much of its power.
So, it devised a new plan, akin to raising venomous creatures, to nurture a sufficiently powerful Chosen One.
It created countless Chosen Ones, each gifted with different amounts of destiny, but all of them true protagonists.
Since the world can only have one true protagonist, these Chosen Ones must undergo a brutal, fierce competition, ultimately determining the single victor who will become the true protagonist.
This is the Heavenly Dao's plan: to cultivate the overall strength of these protagonists through constant battles.
Fighting opponents of equal strength or even stronger not only requires immense martial prowess but also exceptional wisdom.
Under such circumstances, the potential of the Chosen Ones can be maximized. The one who survives all competitors and reaches the pinnacle would likely break this world’s limits, leading it to a new level.
And this plan can benefit us significantly. To ensure the success of this plan, the Heavenly Dao invested most of its power into it.
Normally, each world has only one Chosen One, and the Heavenly Dao fully protects them until they reach their peak state.
But in this world, there are many Chosen Ones, and the Heavenly Dao's intention is for them to kill each other. Thus, it won't care about the life or death of these mass-produced Chosen Ones.
Moreover, the Heavenly Dao of this world has already depleted much of its original power to execute this plan perfectly, so it is now in a state of dormancy.
Therefore, the greatest obstacle to hunting protagonists is no longer a threat to us]
The system explained.
"But what does this have to do with you being dormant inside me for 70 years and never showing up?" Xiao Lingfeng asked.
[Host, the situation is like this. Although the Heavenly Dao isn’t particularly concerned with these protagonists, they are still its creations, and their growth is crucial for the world's advancement.
Therefore, before their golden fingers and destiny power are activated, granting them self-preservation capabilities, the Heavenly Dao still provides special protection to prevent accidents.
During this period, even if the system were activated, we wouldn’t be able to do much under the Heavenly Dao's protection, and it would only waste the system's energy.
Moreover, if we acted before the Heavenly Dao fell asleep, it could alter its plan, which would be extremely detrimental to us.
So, the system had to wait until the Heavenly Dao completely fell asleep before self-activating to ensure your interests, Host.
Now, the Heavenly Dao is in dormancy, and the protagonists in this world have reached their prime. We can hunt them at will]
Hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If the Heavenly Dao had fallen asleep two or three days later, he, the protagonist hunter, might have died.
Out of consideration, Xiao Lingfeng decided that when he encountered those protagonists in the future, he would torture them thoroughly before killing them.
However, he still had some concerns.
"System, these protagonists are protected by destiny, and it’s common for them to survive great dangers. Can I, a Martial Commander Realm expert, really kill them?"
[Rest assured, Host. Because you have transmigrated into this world, you aren't affected by its destiny. Therefore, the protagonists' aura of lowered intelligence has no effect on you.
The system can also cooperate with you to reduce the effectiveness of the protagonists' destiny. With this combination, the protagonists are just ordinary people with a bit of luck and tenacity.
As long as you plan well, they are merely your prey]
Hearing this, Xiao Lingfeng smiled, displaying his handsome demeanor.
However, his words weren't polite, as he wasn't here to listen to flattery.
"Stop the nonsense. Other systems come with newbie packages, and you made me wait 70 years. This package should be four or five times bigger. Are you giving it now or later?"
[Well, alright. This is to increase your chances of success against the protagonists]
After saying this, a mechanical prompt sounded in Xiao Lingfeng’s mind.
[Ding! Due to the inconvenience caused by the system spirit forcibly halting the system without the host's consent, compensation measures are provided.
The compensation includes: a sixth-rank elixir, one Martial King Pill; a sixth-rank elixir, one Beast King Pill; a special elixir, one Loyalty Pill]
"Oh, not bad!" Although Xiao Lingfeng’s expression remained unchanged, he was overjoyed inside.
The Martial King Pill was one of the rarest sixth-rank elixirs, requiring extremely precious materials and a high level of difficulty in refining.
Chapter 4: The Effects of the Elixirs:
According to what Xiao Lingfeng knew, even Master Cang Yun, the top alchemist of the Tianyun Empire, couldn't produce the Martial King Pill despite being a sixth-rank alchemist.
The effects of the Martial King Pill were astonishing; it could increase the probability of a peak Martial Commander Realm breaking through into the Martial King Realm by 30%.
With this Martial King Pill and the cultivation technique he practiced, even with severe internal injuries, he had a 50% chance of reaching the Martial King Realm.
As for the Beast King Pill, he hadn't heard of it before, but the name suggested it was meant for demonic beasts, and he happened to have a peak fifth-rank demonic beast.
However, he was puzzled by the Loyalty Pill. But for now, the most important thing was to obtain the Martial King Pill from the system.

However, he was puzzled by the Loyalty Pill. But for now, the most important thing was to obtain the Martial King Pill from the system.
For someone stuck at the Martial Commander Realm for 40 years, the Martial King Pill was crucial, so he asked the system.
The system replied, [Host, all the rewards have been placed in the system vault. You can retrieve them with a thought. Additionally, all items provided by the system come with descriptions in the vault]
"Oh, how considerate! But I have another question. From the system's prompt earlier, you and the system seem to be two separate entities. Are you the system spirit?" Xiao Lingfeng asked.
[Yes! The system rules are too rigid, so we system spirits are here to explain some issues to the host and provide necessary assistance]
The system spirit replied.
Xiao Lingfeng nodded. His priority now was to understand the effects of these elixirs and quickly make a breakthrough into the Martial King Realm to delay the outbreak of his internal injuries.
Soon, Xiao Lingfeng used his mind to enter the system vault, where he saw three bottles of elixirs. He noticed large characters above the bottles, which were the elixir descriptions.
First, Xiao Lingfeng looked at the Martial King Pill he had been longing for. The introduction of the Martial King Pill appeared before his eyes.
[Perfect-grade Martial King Pill, early fifth-rank elixir. It guarantees a 100% breakthrough to the Martial King Realm for the user. Even a Martial King Realm expert can advance a realm by taking this pill, and it can be taken repeatedly]
Xiao Lingfeng was astonished to see this.

Xiao Lingfeng was astonished to see this.
To be honest, he didn't expect it to be a perfect-grade Martial King Pill.
Elixirs were divided into nine ranks, corresponding to the nine stages of cultivation beyond the Body Refinement Realm. Body Refinement Realm cultivation didn’t require high-grade elixirs, just some herbs or low-grade elixirs.
Each rank was further divided into four stages: early, middle, high, and peak. The higher the stage and rank, the more difficult the elixir was to refine.
Elixirs were graded into four levels upon completion: defective, qualified, excellent, and perfect. Defective elixirs were failed products with severe loss of potency and possible toxic mutations, making them dangerous.

Elixirs were graded into four levels upon completion: defective, qualified, excellent, and perfect. Defective elixirs were failed products with severe loss of potency and possible toxic mutations, making them dangerous.
Qualified elixirs were those that can be normally consumed, and producing these qualifies an alchemist as a legitimate practitioner of that rank.
For example, Master Cang Yun of the Tianyun Empire became a sixth-rank alchemist by producing qualified sixth-rank elixirs.
Excellent-grade elixirs can only be made by elite alchemists of the same rank, preserving their potency well and requiring high-level skills. There was a saying in the alchemist community: "An alchemist who produces excellent-grade elixirs isn't far from mastering the next stage."
This saying was widely accepted.
In the Tianyun Empire, producing excellent-grade peak elixirs of a certain rank is enough to be recognized as 'an alchemist with one foot in the next rank.'
For instance, the Tianyun Empire had two grandmasters who produced excellent-grade peak fifth-rank elixirs, and their status was almost as high as Master Cang Yun’s.
Even Martial King Realm experts would try to curry favor with them, as they were on the verge of becoming true sixth-rank alchemists.
However, perfect-grade elixirs were legendary, almost unattainable. An alchemist needed to be several ranks higher to produce a perfect-grade elixir.
The Martial King Pill was a fifth-rank elixir, and on the Martial God Continent, an eighth-rank alchemist would be required to produce a perfect-grade Martial King Pill. Eighth-rank alchemists were renowned across the continent, and in small places, they were just legends.
Xiao Lingfeng never imagined that the system would provide a perfect-grade Martial King Pill.
Next, he checked the Beast King Pill, which had a similar description.
[Perfect-grade Beast King Pill, sixth-rank elixir. It guarantees a 100% breakthrough to the Beast King level for demonic beasts. A Beast King can advance a realm by taking this pill, and it can be taken repeatedly]
Seeing this, Xiao Lingfeng was amazed.
This was perfect for him, as his demonic beast was also stuck at the peak of the fifth rank and needed this Beast King Pill.
