Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

With his profound cultivation and outstanding combat talent far surpassing his peers, he stood out in one competition and training after another, and soon became the recognized leader of the younger generation in the Holy Realm. His position was unshakable and his name resounded throughout the land.

Such dazzling light naturally attracted the close attention of the White Tiger Clan's high-ranking officials, who were at the core of the Holy Realm's rule.

Three years ago, Feng Yao had just turned sixteen when a summons from the Holy Realm's imperial city arrived in this remote village.

The elders of the White Tiger Clan personally summoned Feng Yao, who then bid farewell to his family and joined the White Tiger Clan's army, beginning his true iron-blooded military career.

However, even the elite White Tiger Clan army, teeming with talented individuals and powerful warriors, could not overshadow Feng Yao's radiant brilliance, which was like the blazing sun.

He seemed born to fight, and with his unparalleled personal strength, he rose through the ranks of the strictly hierarchical military as if climbing a ladder.

In just three short years, he broke the White Tiger Clan's record of ten thousand years and became the youngest general in history!

His rapid promotion and brilliant achievements have made countless veterans take notice.

Even more remarkably, the supreme Snow Queen of the Holy Realm, having heard of his illustrious reputation, personally bestowed upon him a priceless power lock, a symbol of unparalleled glory and power, as a reward and recognition.

This situation was within Qin Chuan's expectations.

In the original course of fate, Feng Yao and Feng Ying lost both their parents. As the elder brother, he had to shoulder the burden of life early on and raise his young sister with great difficulty.

That heavy responsibility consumed too much of the energy and time he should have devoted to cultivation.

It wasn't until Fengying came of age that he and his sister joined Xuehuang's service. They started much later than expected, but they were still able to shine.

Now, thanks to his intervention, the couple, Fengxue and his wife, are still alive and well, and their family is intact and harmonious.

Without the worries of making a living, Feng Yao can single-mindedly pursue power and glory, naturally allowing him to unleash his destined peerless brilliance earlier and more fiercely, maximizing his potential.

Furthermore, from Feng Ying's scattered yet detailed narration, Qin Chuan's keen perception also captured an important piece of information that could not be ignored.

In recent years, the high-ranking officials of the Holy Realm, especially the White Tiger Clan, have been actively preparing for war. The frequency of resource allocation and military exercises has increased significantly, and the atmosphere in the entire Holy Realm has become increasingly tense, with a storm brewing.

The hypothetical enemy he was preparing for was none other than the underworld, which he ruled and was considered the source of darkness and chaos!

"Just as I thought..."

Qin Chuan understood, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Behind this, the Ghost King must have been constantly stirring up trouble, distorting the facts, and fanning the flames.

Under his scheming and manipulation, the Snow Queen, who revered absolute light and order, and the White Tiger Clan she led, had come to regard Qin Chuan and the underworld forces he represented as a dark threat and disruptor of order that they had to be wary of and even completely eradicate.

When the 100,000-year period arrives and the seven parallel universes reconnect, a battle of the strongest that will affect all parallel universes and determine the future seems inevitable.

The gears of fate are slowly turning in their predetermined direction, with the force to crush everything in their path.

However, Qin Chuan did not have many worries; instead, he felt a surge of eager anticipation.

His previous ten-year seclusion, during which he was detached from worldly affairs, yielded results far exceeding what outsiders could imagine, and in some aspects even surpassing his initial expectations.

That crazy idea, which originated from the world of gods and was once considered impossible, was actually realized by him with his unparalleled perseverance and wisdom!

He used his unparalleled willpower and mysterious methods to compress, refine, and purify the myriad principles and vast energy he had comprehended, and successfully constructed a miniature yet complete Dao origin point deep within his dantian, containing the ultimate principles of birth and death, belonging to him alone.

Whether it was a coincidence or some kind of destiny, this ultimate supernatural power, which embodies all the knowledge he has acquired in his life, has an astonishing similarity in its form and terrifying power to the ultimate technique of the Underworld King, the Xuanming Black Hole, which he relied on to become famous in the original trajectory of his destiny!

Once unleashed, the spacetime structure will be forcibly distorted and torn apart, all things will be reduced to nothingness, and all tangible matter and intangible principles will be devoured and annihilated.

Time, space, and even dimensions will cease to exist under the collapse of absolute gravity and laws, forming an absolute realm of nothingness.

Qin Chuan was quite satisfied with the name "Xuanming Black Hole," as its profound, ending, and return-to-nothing connotations aptly described the essence and ultimate pursuit of his supernatural power.

So he took the opportunity to name this newly created ultimate trump card, which he considered his trump card, the Xuanming Black Hole!

With the Xuanming Black Hole in hand, Qin Chuan was absolutely confident that he could fight head-on against the Snow Queen, who possessed six white hole energies, was unfathomable, and was known as the strongest in the seven parallel universes, and even defeat her!

However, he also clearly recognized the constraints of reality.

Given his current total amount of alien energy and his level of control over this divine power involving the origin of the universe, he can only unleash the Xuanming Black Hole once in a short period of time, even if he exerts all his strength.

This is a decisive trump card, the ultimate means to decide victory or defeat, even life or death, rather than a regular skill that can be squandered at will.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary and a matter of life and death is at stake, he does not want to easily use this last trump card.

The reason why a trump card is called a trump card is because of its secrecy and decisiveness.

Moreover, even if he really wanted to fight the Snow Queen, he had to first find and kill the Ghost King who had been lurking in the shadows, full of cunning and waiting for an opportunity!

Otherwise, with this cunning old fox lurking nearby, like a venomous snake, ready to seize victory at any moment when he and the Snow Emperor are locked in a fierce battle and both are exhausted, that would be the real, potentially fatal threat.

Only by eliminating this biggest variable and hidden danger can we ensure that the battle with the Snow Queen is a fair clash between the strong, rather than a victory for someone else.

Seeing Qin Chuan fall into deep thought after listening to her story, her brows furrowed as if a storm was brewing, and her deep eyes seemed to hold the birth and death of stars and the flow of cause and effect.

Fengying obediently shut her mouth and stood quietly to the side, even softening her breathing.

She simply gazed unblinkingly at her mysterious and powerful master with her large eyes, filled with curiosity, dependence, and deep affection, waiting for him to return from her world.

After a long while, Qin Chuan finally snapped out of his deep thoughts, and the invisible aura that seemed to be able to crush the void around him slowly subsided.

He looked down at the obediently waiting Xiao Fengying, a hint of tenderness and affection flashing in his eyes. He reached out and gently touched her smooth, shiny black hair, which felt slightly cool to the touch.

"Alright, Fengying." Qin Chuan's voice was gentle yet powerful, pulling her wandering thoughts back to reality. "The past is clear, and the future is promising. Now, it's time to begin formal instruction."

His gaze became focused and profound, as if it could penetrate the surface and look directly into the hidden, unique source of power within Feng Ying's body, that undiscovered, unique endowment belonging to darkness and wind.

The path to becoming a powerful figure belonging to the Wind Shadow is finally about to officially begin under the guidance of his master.

A new legend is about to begin.

Chapter 25 Night Lingyun

Just as Feng Ying was unwittingly embarking on the path of cultivation guided by Qin Chuan in a small village on the edge of the Holy Realm, another particle clone of Qin Chuan had already silently crossed the barrier of the parallel universe and descended upon Earth in the fourth parallel universe.

This place was completely different from what I had seen before.

Above the sky, the aurora borealis surges and dances ceaselessly like a giant, colorful curtain, a celestial phenomenon produced when the Earth's magnetic field violently reverses its poles.

Visible electromagnetic ripples permeated the air, and powerful interference was everywhere, making any external energy trapped in the mire and unable to take shape.

This is precisely the unique law of Earth in the fourth parallel universe, a world known for its violent electromagnetic fields, which severely weakens and disrupts the aggregation and morphological stability of alien energy from outsiders.

"The electromagnetic interference is indeed strong," Qin Chuan muttered to himself, feeling the slightly obstructed energy flow around him. "Ordinary experts would probably find it quite difficult to even maintain their super beast form here."

However, he only slightly adjusted the vibration frequency of his own energy, and the omnipresent interference was like a breeze blowing across the mountain rocks, no longer having a substantial impact on him.

True strength transcends dependence on specific environments and external factors.

Unlike the chaotic and fragmented fifth parallel universe, this land has achieved an iron-fisted unity.

The sole overlord, the Cloud Bat Clan, with its strict discipline, unpredictable combat methods, and powerful group combat capabilities, has forged a Cloud Bat Legion that is renowned throughout the seven parallel universes.

They are on par with the Fierce Tiger Legion of the White Tiger Clan in the Seventh Parallel Universe, a nightmare that no opponent wants to face.

Qin Chuan stood atop a solitary peak, overlooking the land ruled by the Cloud Bat Clan.

Since a conflict with the Snow Queen and her Holy Realm forces seemed unavoidable, he naturally had to prepare for the worst.

The Cloud Bat Legion, a powerful group combat force, is undoubtedly a key piece he must win over.

However, his target was not the current leader of the Cloud Bat Legion, Night Owl—a puppet who had secretly sided with the Ghost King and rose rapidly with the Ghost King's support.

Qin Chuan's figure transformed into an almost imperceptible streak of light, heading straight towards a remote and secluded valley in the distance.

His target is Ye Lingyun.

The man who, in his original destiny, would have become one of Hades' four guardians and led the Cloud Bat Legion to unprecedented heights.

Qin Chuan admired his purity and his deep-rooted belief: the strong are respected and the weak submit to the strong, which is an irrefutable truth in the universe.

This aligns perfectly with the core value of the underworld: the survival of the fittest.

Deep in the valley, jagged rocks are permeated with a rich yin energy.

A lithe figure darted and weaved through the crowd, each strike accompanied by a sharp, tearing sound as the air was ripped apart. Dark purple energy swirled around him, condensing and refusing to dissipate.

Ye Lingyun is currently immersed in his daily arduous training, honing his strength and will.

Qin Chuan did not deliberately conceal his presence. As he slowly walked into the valley, Ye Lingyun noticed him almost instantly. He stopped abruptly, turned around warily, and locked his cold gaze on the newcomer like a hawk, his body brimming with strange energy ready to be unleashed.

"I am the Hades of the Fifth Parallel Universe." Qin Chuan got straight to the point, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority. "Ye Lingyun, I admire your conviction and potential, and have come to invite you to become one of my four guardians."

A hint of surprise, barely concealed, flashed across Ye Lingyun's cold and stern face.

Why would this nebula-type supreme being, renowned throughout the seven parallel universes, seek out this unknown, reclusive, and ascetic individual?

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart and responded in a deep voice, his tone carrying a metallic quality:

"The name of Hades is renowned far and wide. But I, Ye Lingyun, believe in absolute power! Empty words are not enough. If you want me to submit, you must demonstrate strength that will truly convince me!"

Qin Chuan was not surprised by his reaction at all; the corners of his mouth slightly raised, forming a calm smile.

With a casual toss, a uniquely shaped supernatural lock, shimmering with a deep purple aura, flew precisely toward Ye Lingyun.

"You should complete the Super Beast Armament first," Qin Chuan said, "and then we can discuss other things."

Ye Lingyun was decisive. Although he did not understand Hades's intentions, he still caught the power lock without hesitation and equipped it on his wrist.

The superpower lock seemed tailor-made for him; the moment it fit him perfectly, an unprecedented sense of resonance arose within him.

He let out a low shout, and a massive amount of alien energy was instantly drawn in and activated!

A dazzling purple light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire dark valley.

Amidst the light, a super beast with sleek lines, massive metal wings on its back, and an aura of cold luster and immense pressure—the Cloud Bat God—appeared!

Although it was the first time using super beast weaponry, the entire process was smooth and natural, as if it were an instinct that had been dormant for a long time and had just awakened.

Qin Chuan quietly watched Ye Lingyun as he completed his armor-up, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the thick armor and reach the core of his power and the source of his beliefs.

"The Cloud Bat God, while possessing superior attack and mobility, is not top-tier." Qin Chuan's voice clearly reached Ye Lingyun's ears. "However, once it transforms into the Cloud Bat Shield form, it will possess what is arguably the strongest defensive capability in the seven parallel universes!"

He abruptly changed the subject, his gaze sharp as a knife, seemingly piercing through the Cloud Bat God's thick armor and staring directly at Ye Lingyun within:

"Since you want me to demonstrate my power, then so be it. I promise that I will not use my Nebula Body, but only the power of this clone, to shatter your Cloud Bat Shield from the front!"

Upon hearing this, the enormous purple light in the eyes of the Cloud Bat God surged, emitting a deep, muffled roar filled with excitement and fighting spirit:

"Very well! Hades speaks his mind! If you can truly break through my Cloud Bat Shield head-on, I, Ye Lingyun, will pledge allegiance to you and follow you to the death! I firmly believe that the weak submit to the strong, which is the natural order!"

He said no more, his mind racing as he focused all his energy on unleashing his alien power.

The enormous cloud bat god form began to undergo drastic changes. Its metal wings emitted a clanging sound as they rapidly closed, deformed, and reorganized and extended with the body structure.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into an enormous shield, engraved with countless profound energy patterns, radiating an indestructible and absolutely defensive aura—the Cloud Bat Shield!
