Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

but--

She's the prey?!

What a joke!

The physical body becomes a demon, and so does the soul. How could the Demon Slayer, who terrified the three great heavens a million years ago and whose blood flowed like rivers, only possess the power of a half-immortal? And Lin Yuan, who is now fully awakened as the three drops of Demon Slayer's true blood, has already surpassed the level of a half-immortal.

Although she has not yet reached the realm of a true immortal, she has already taken one foot in it. However, the path she follows will not be recognized by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, let alone by the countless ancient spirits.

She stared intently at the white figure in the very center of the platform, a chill running through her, and her scarlet eyes revealed a furious killing intent that spanned millions of years.

"How arrogant!"

With a wave of her hand, countless shrill black shadows suddenly shot out from the tens of thousands of chaotic rifts in the world. As if they possessed self-awareness, the moment they appeared from the rifts, they rushed towards Yunping along with the raging waves of demonic energy.

In an instant, the sky above the entire Three Heavens Academy was covered by black shadows that resembled a swarm of bees. The endless rolling black shadows were about to completely engulf the snow-white figure in the blink of an eye!

He neither dodged nor avoided, as if he was completely unaware that he had been locked onto by that massive demonic energy. He simply stood there, looking up at Lin Yuan on the throne with amusement.

next moment--

The sounds of flesh being torn apart echoed continuously. The black shadows darted about, roaring and shrieking, while the splattering blood excited them even more, driving them to rush in and tear the white-robed youth's body apart.

Puff puff—

The sound of blood splattering.

Lin Yuan looked down at the white-clad youth whose body seemed to have been torn apart, and couldn't help but frown.

Although the demonic souls she had just summoned were all at the level of Heavenly Demons or even Ancient Demons, and even a Saint would probably find it difficult to withstand such a terrifying attack, she did not expect that the young man in white would not dodge or evade, and would be completely surrounded without any resistance.

"Is that all you've got..."

She seemed quite confused, and even subconsciously began to doubt whether her intuition was correct.

And it was at this moment—

But a foot stepped out from the chaotic darkness.

The young man in white held a demonic shadow that was struggling wildly, seemingly in extreme pain. Several demonic shadows were attached to his head, chest, shoulders, and most other parts of his body, and these shadows were relentlessly gnawing at his flesh.

However, despite their cultivation levels of the Void Transformation stage or even sainthood, their gaping maws, brimming with endless demonic energy, were unable to gnaw at Yun Ping's physical body!

No—let alone the physical body, even that snow-white dress, which looked so thin, couldn't be torn apart!

He simply let those demonic shadows, almost household names in ancient times, gnaw at him at will, as if he felt no pain whatsoever, with his dead fish eyes hanging open, and he casually squeezed them hard.

*Pfft*

The demonic shadow, possessing power comparable to a saint, was crushed into dust before it could even utter a single wail, and a large amount of blood splattered out.

But the blood of these demons could not stain Yunping's body; his clothes remained white and spotless, untouched by blood.

What's wrong with his physical body?!

Not to mention Duan Xingchen, whose cultivation level was relatively low and who was dumbfounded, even Lin Yuan, who was sitting on the throne and looking down on the earth with the invincible queen's demeanor, was so frightened that she jumped up from the throne and looked at the white-robed youth with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

What a bizarre body this is!

Even in the ancient times, that distant era filled with taboos and secrets, there has never been a physical body that could withstand the attacks of several saint-level demons without suffering the slightest damage!

This person...

what is the problem?

Lin Yuan didn't understand; at least at this moment, she didn't understand at all.

"Don't you find it strange?"

As soon as he finished speaking...

Yun Ping stomped his right foot on the ground, and that seemingly casual step caused a faint wave to spread around him, and the void around him suddenly trembled in a way that seemed weak but was actually violent.

Visibly, the wailing and howling demonic shadows were twisted at an extremely fast speed, their blood not even having a chance to splatter before being completely sucked into the distorted space.

There were no powerful sound waves, no earth-shattering scenes, just a simple stomp of the foot.

The countless shadows all around were torn apart and crushed cleanly by the sudden twisting turbulence, leaving nothing behind.

The old rogue's expression remained as nonchalant as ever. He casually pulled the demonic shadow that had escaped from the turbulent current above his head down. The latter was now curled up, trembling incessantly in Yun Ping's palm.

Yunping didn't even glance at it. He opened his mouth and casually stuffed the ancient demonic shadow into it.

Yes.

He devoured the Heavenly Demon.

Under Lin Yuan's horrified gaze from the throne, the old rogue pointed up at the dark sky, chewing on the Heavenly Demon as if it were a snack, and asked nonchalantly:

"An existence like you would have been rejected by heaven and earth in ancient times. The heavens are not fools, not to mention the ancient spirits behind them."

"Now that you have been born, not only has the Ancient Spirit not shown itself, but even the Heavenly Dao itself has not reacted in the slightest. Don't you find that strange?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was suddenly stunned, raised her head, and looked up at the dark sky.

Indeed, neither the Heavenly Dao, which governs the order of heaven and earth, nor the ancient spirits behind the Heavenly Dao, who control the life and death of countless beings in the three heavenly domains, have come!

Logically speaking, with the appearance of the Demon-Slaying True Blood, those who maintain order should have been able to detect it.

Yet the world was still filled with countless chaotic cracks, and the demonic energy within the Demonic Sect showed no sign of diminishing. Everything was going incredibly smoothly.

So the question is—why?

Why isn't Heaven taking action? Why isn't the Ancient Spirits making a move?!

The answer is simple—

Sensing Lin Yuan's doubts, Yun Ping swallowed the chewed-up Heavenly Demon Shadow.

Immediately afterwards, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"Because they know it's unnecessary."

Before the sound had even faded, the person had already arrived.

Yunping did not intend to go up and slap Lin Yuan directly. Instead, he slowly walked towards the blood-shadow steps that Lin Yuan had once stepped on.

As he stepped on it, the fierce demonic energy gathered into a powerful wave that swept towards Yun Ping.

Not long ago, Jiang Yuetian also tried to climb the Blood Shadow Steps, but was blasted away by the powerful demonic energy.

But Yunping was different. Facing the oncoming demonic energy, he didn't even glance at it, ignoring the fierce impact, and took another step forward.

"you……"

Watching Yun Ping slowly ascend the Blood Shadow Steps, Lin Yuan tried to calm herself and stared at him coldly: "Are you looking down on me?!"

Yun Ping smiled silently and continued to step up the Blood Shadow Steps. With each step he took, an increasingly terrifying demonic aura rushed towards him!

This was the Blood Shadow Staircase resisting! The staircase was unwilling to let Yun Ping continue forward, to continue towards the Bone Spike Throne!

Others may not know, but Lin Yuan knows it very well!

The Blood Steps are the path to demonhood, and the Bone Throne is the place to become a demon!

These Blood Shadow Steps were the path that the Demon Slayer took to ascend to become the Lord of this land. Apart from the Demon Slayer, no one else could climb these Blood Shadow Steps!

Because only Demon Slayer can sit on that throne! Only this one invincible and domineering being!

Even an ancient demon whose strength has reached the level of a half-immortal would probably not be able to cross even a third of the Blood Shadow Steps before being completely annihilated by the backlash from the Blood Shadow Steps.

What about Ke Yunping?

Step by step, step by step.

Stepping onto the blood-red steps, he let the increasingly chaotic demonic energy rage around him.

But his clothes still didn't look impressive.

But the hair still wouldn't budge.

But his face remained still.

He stepped over a third of the way, then halfway... slowly walking towards Lin Yuan's throne.

This behavior seemed to be a pronouncement to Lin Yuan, the self-proclaimed Demon Queen.

—I've come to take your life.

They walked up the steps leading to the throne openly and honestly.

A look of horror finally appeared on Lin Yuan's face. She subconsciously sat back on the Bone Throne, gripping the armrests on both sides with trepidation, and stared fiercely at Yun Ping.

With a sudden wave of her right hand, another chaotic rift appeared above the white-robed youth, pouring out red and black energy in an instant, converging into countless sharp black spikes radiating demonic energy, which bombarded Yun Ping's vital points.

hiss--

However, the moment the black thorn touched Yunping, it inexplicably turned into pitch-black smoke and dust, along with the demonic energy contained within it, vanishing without a trace.

"I don't believe you're really that evil—"

Lin Yuan gritted her teeth and with a backhand, created three more chaotic rifts, unleashing hundreds upon hundreds of black thorns that attacked Yun Ping like a storm.

hiss--

Yunping continued walking upwards, his pace showing no sign of slowing down. The raging wind and black rain that swept around him seemed to be non-existent in his eyes.

His strikingly dark eyes remained fixed solely on Lin Yuan from beginning to end.

Those emotionless eyes looked exactly like the Grim Reaper.

Although Lin Yuan is a demon slayer, she has never seen the Grim Reaper's face, but if anyone were to ask what the Grim Reaper looks like, she would definitely say—

He was a man dressed in pure white.

Hey.

Footsteps fell.

Yun Ping stood at the top of the Blood Shadow Steps, before the throne, and in front of Lin Yuan.

The petite girl, who had previously looked down on the person with the air of a queen, was now trembling and staring at the person in front of her in disbelief.

The Blood Shadow Steps were established for the Demon Slayer, and those who can ascend the Blood Shadow Steps are the Demon Lords acknowledged by the Demon Slayer.

Now, the young man in white easily climbed the steps and stood on the throne.

In other words...
