"Jin Yukan, hand over the pill of life and death, and we'll give you a painless death."
"Abyssal lord, stop this worthless resistance. With all of the central mighty sects and families here, you can't possibly survive."
"Jin Yukan, because of you, all the mighty geniuses died before achieving anything. You've gone past being a demon overlord; you're just madness. Surrender your life."
"Because of your scheme, the central became the other regions' target. If you hadn't created this pill, all this would not have happened."
…
Jin Yukan was wearing a majestic black-violet robe that fit his title, the abyssal lord. His long hair was disheveled, and his body was covered with blood. He looked around.
The bloody robes waved lightly in the mountain breeze like a war flag.
Fresh blood flowed from the numerous wounds on the body. Just by standing there for a short while, Jin Yukan had already accumulated a large pool of blood beneath his feet.
Enemies surrounded him all around; there was already no way out.
It was a foregone conclusion that he would die here.
Jin Yukan understood that he would die here, yet his face remained calm.
His gaze remained still like those of dead waters.
The mighty sect and families of central old monsters and those of the younger generation, even women, surrounded him with the invincible heavenly web. The surrounding people looked at him fearfully, while some roared at him, but the rest sneered at him.
Yet even in the Invincible heavenly realm, the people didn't move, as they were wary of him.
Jin Yukan, who was frozen like a statue, suddenly moved and looked at all the leaders of the mighty sects and families.
All the mighty figures suddenly got wary of his sudden movement.
By now the green mountain rock beneath Jin Yukan's feet had long been stained a deep red. Due to losing too much blood, his face had become pale; in the afterglow of the sunset, it suddenly had a brilliant luster upon it.
Looking at the sun that was about to rise, he laughed. "Haha!!! The sun falls down at night but stands back in the morning, but did it ever surrender? No. I, Jin Yukan, the successor of the Demon Sovereign, shall not regret."
As he said this, memories of his life before becoming the enemy of all
He was originally from a different world called Earth. He was a normal university student who lived in this world for 500 years and another 200 years after he became a mighty figure and his last 100 years after he became the abyssal lord.
His 800 years of life flew by like in the blink of an eye.
So many memories came into his mind, yet he didn't regret anything. Yes, he was forcefully brought here, yet he endured and became the Lord that his world loathed.
"But still this failure isn't the end." His goal of completing the life and death pill, one of the supreme treasures of the world,
A pill forged from the flesh and blood of geniuses bodies, the bodies of kids, and the cultivation of old monsters and fresh women—a pill that is called the most evil and wicked of all yet hailed as the most righteous if ever completed.
The end result was something he expected. When he made his decision at the beginning, he prepared himself for this.
To be a demon is to be merciless and cruel, a murderer and destroyer. There is no place in heaven or earth for such a thing—turning into an enemy to the heaven and earth and still having to face the consequences.
"If the life and death were completed before you arrived, the situation would have been different." With this thought, Jin Yukan couldn't help but have a big laugh.
"Demon, why are you laughing about that?"
"Be careful; he's the most cruel and wicked demon in history. He still probably has a secret power."
"Maybe he's attempting to blow up."
The Mighty all surge forward in a desperate move to kill this demon for good.
Jin Yukan didn't move even if he could, as his qi was already empty long ago.
With the blinding lights of everyone's attack, the mountain was engulfed in blinding lights.
…
The spring rain quietly rained down on Five Fingers Mountain.
It was already late in the night, a slight breeze blowing with the light rain.
Yet Five Fingers Mountain was not covered in darkness; from the side down to the foot of the mountain, dozens of tiny lights shone like a bright band.
These lights shone from tall buildings, and even though it could not be said to match up to ten thousand lights, it was still a few thousand in number.
Situated on the mountain was Sheng Village, giving the vast lonely mountain a rich touch of human civilization.
"Ancestors, please bless us! We pray that this ceremony will bring many young men of outstanding talent and intelligence, bringing their families new blood and hopes! " The head of the Shengclan had a young-aged appearance; he was clothed in ceremonial white robes, kneeling on the brownish-yellow floor. His body was straight with his hands held together, eyes tightly shut as he prayed sincerely.
He was facing a tall black-violet case; there were three layers on the case, all housing memorial tablets of ancestors. On both sides of the tablets was copper incense, the smoke rising.
Behind him were over 10 people kneeling in a similar fashion as him. They wore loose white ceremonial garments and were all the clan's elders, important members, and those who had much authority.
After finishing prayers, the Sheng clan head bent his waist with his two hands pressing against the floor and kowtowed. As the forehead knocked against the brownish yellow floor, light thuds could be heard.
Behind him, the elders and important clan members solemnly and quietly followed suit.
With this, the hall was filled with light thuds as the heads knocked against the floor.
When the ceremony was over, the crowd of people slowly got up from the ground and silently walked out of the sacred temple.
In the hallway, sighs of relief were heard from the crowd of elders, and the atmosphere loosened up. The noise of discussion slowly rose.
"Time flies too quickly; in the blink of an eye, a year has gone by."
"The previous ceremony feels like it just happened yesterday; I can still recall it vividly."
"Tomorrow is the opening of the annual grand ceremony. I wonder what new clan blood will show up this year? "
"Ah, I hope that some highly talented youths will appear. The Sheng clan hasn't seen a genius emerge for hundred years now."
The five-finger mountain has 3 villages of different clans: the Sheng clan in the highest part of the mountain, the Fang clan at the lowest side of the mountain, and the Yue clan in the middle part of the mountain.
Every ten years excellent youths are gathered together to battle the lord of the mountain, and the Sheng clan has been continuously losing for the past 100 years, equivalent to 10 losses.
If not for the great elder, the Sheng clan would have been destroyed by the other two clans, but the great elder, having reached half-stage body and soul harmony, would not have survived this mountain.
