Those ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍righteous path cultivators he had imprisoned for over a year were now all staring directly at him.

Their ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍expressions varied, but without exception, all carried a mocking amusement.

Those ‍​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍eyes looked as though they were watching a dead dog fall from the clouds.

When had the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign ever suffered such humiliation?

He was the dignified lord of the Northern Plains, a peak Tribulation Crossing Demon Sovereign. Yet now he was being stared at by a group of ants with such gazes.

He flew into a furious rage, suddenly rising to his feet as demonic flames surged around him, preparing to kill several of the most irritating people to vent his fury.

However, the moment he circulated spiritual power, a crisp cracking sound suddenly emerged from the black light barrier deep within his soul.

Crack.

It shattered.

The streak of black light cast by the Primordial Infinite World-Ending Heavenly Execution Great Demon Sovereign had actually been forcibly broken apart by the cursed power.

And this time, the cursed power far surpassed every previous occurrence. It came surging forth like a collapsed floodgate, unstoppable.

The Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign’s expression changed drastically. Before he could react, the cursed power had already flooded into the depths of his soul.

“AHHH!”

He released a miserable scream as he clutched his head and collapsed to the ground, his body rolling wildly.

His face twisted into a horrifying shape, veins bulging violently while black qi seeped from all seven orifices.

The dignified peak Tribulation Crossing Demon Sovereign now resembled a wild dog whose tail had been stepped on, howling and rolling across the ground.

The demonic cultivators atop the formation platform exchanged uncertain looks, somewhat at a loss.

Previously, whenever the Demon Sovereign suffered an episode, it would only last briefly.

But today’s situation…

Seemed somewhat different.

The righteous path cultivators were also stunned.

Then, nobody knew who it was that laughed first.

The laughter was very light, but within the silence, it sounded exceptionally clear.

Immediately afterward, more and more laughter erupted, growing increasingly louder.

“Hahahahahahaha!”

“Serves you right! Serves you right!”

“So the devil has a day like this too!”

Among the crowd, a middle-aged cultivator laughed the loudest and most recklessly.

He laughed so hard that he doubled over, tears even flowing from his eyes.

This man’s surname was Lu, with the given name Yunzhou. He was a notorious rogue cultivator throughout the Eastern Continent with cultivation at the early Mahayana Realm.

However, his reputation throughout the Eastern Continent smelled even worse than a stone in a latrine.

Not because he had committed any unforgivable crimes.

But because of that mouth of his.

At this moment, seeing the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign rolling around on the ground, Lu Yunzhou felt indescribably satisfied.

In any case, there was a high chance he would die today. If he failed to thoroughly curse out the person he most wanted to curse before dying, then even death would leave him unwilling.

Taking a deep breath, he cupped his hands around his mouth and began laughing and cursing loudly:

“Heaven Burning, you damned dog thing! The dignified lord of the Northern Plains, a mighty peak Tribulation Crossing expert, now rolling around on the ground like a maggot—how dare you still call yourself Demon Sovereign?”

“I think you should change your name to Maggot Sovereign instead!”

“That demonic qi around you was probably cultivated from a cesspit, wasn’t it? No wonder you stink so much!”

The Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign rolled upon the ground, his face iron-blue, unable to utter a single word.

Seeing no response, Lu Yunzhou cursed even more enthusiastically.

“Look at yourself! Your hair’s scattered around like a chicken nest, your face all black here and white there. Someone ignorant might think you were some ugly clown who escaped from an opera troupe!”

“With a face like yours, you still dare call yourself Demon Sovereign? Bah! Are you even worthy?”

“And that so-called Heaven Burning Imperial Dynasty of yours. Sounds impressive, but at the end of the day, isn’t it just a garbage collection station?”

“Look at the demonic cultivators under your command. Crooked melons and cracked dates, all sorts of riffraff.”

“When the upper beam isn’t straight, the lower beam becomes crooked. With a useless master like you, what decent goods could possibly exist beneath you?”

“Oh right, where’s that master of yours? You’ve been rolling on the ground for this long—why hasn’t your master come save you? Could it be that this dog of his stopped obeying and got kicked away?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, pitiful, truly pitiful. The dignified Demon Sovereign is nothing more than someone else’s dog. Worse than a dog!”

“When a dog gets kicked, at least it barks twice. You got kicked and don’t even dare let out a fart!”

“You’re only capable of bullying people whose cultivation is lower than yours.”

“If you’ve got the ability, then go act impressive in the Immortal Realm! Go on! Why don’t you? Too scared, right? A thing that bullies the weak and fears the strong!”

“You bully a few rogue cultivators in the Northern Plains and capture some sect disciples, then think you’re incredible?”

“I’ll tell you honestly, with your tiny bit of skill, you wouldn’t even be worthy of carrying shoes for others in the Immortal Realm!”

“And that face of yours looks like a shoehorn. If I looked like you, I’d have smashed myself to death against a block of tofu ages ago! Yet you still come out and embarrass yourself?”

“And that rabbit fellow you held in your arms last year—how dare you ask him to serve you?”

“Why don’t you look in a mirror and see what kind of virtue you possess! If he hadn’t been imprisoned by you, would he ever have taken interest in you?”

“Bah! A toad craving rabbit meat. Why don’t you piss first and look at yourself properly!”

The more Lu Yunzhou cursed, the more excited he became, and the filthier his insults grew. Spittle flew everywhere while his entire face turned red.

The surrounding righteous path cultivators listened with stunned expressions. Several even subconsciously shifted farther away, afraid his saliva might splash onto them.

Yet hearing these curses felt incredibly satisfying.

Far too satisfying.

They had been imprisoned for over a year, suffering endless torment. Now, hearing someone curse the Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign until he was utterly drenched in shame caused the frustration in their hearts to dissipate somewhat as well.

The Heaven Burning Demon Sovereign rolled upon the ground, trembling violently, his face already dark beyond description.

He heard everything clearly.

Every single word.

He wanted to attack.

He wanted to tear that sharp-tongued bastard into ten thousand pieces.

Extract his soul and refine it into lamp oil so he could never reincarnate for all eternity.

But he could not move.

That cursed power was ravaging his soul. He could not even lift a single finger.

However, the demonic cultivators beneath his command naturally would not allow their master to be insulted by a mere prisoner in such a manner.

“You’re courting death.”

One of the Mahayana Realm demonic cultivators coldly shouted as he raised a hand. A black blade-light instantly slashed directly toward Lu Yunzhou.
