On the [Fighter] profession panel, the Lv. 2 Super Kill, [Thousand Crows Singing at The Moon], was gleaming faintly.

Lu Yuan looked at the True Intention of a giant, strange bird hovering above his head. It resembled a crane in appearance but had pitch-black wings and crow-like eyes. It emanated Black Qi, seeming as if it might step out of illusion into reality at any moment. He was slightly surprised himself. It was a stroke of genius.

He had tried to activate the Spirit Crane True Intention using the Lv. 2 [Super Kill - Thousand Crows Singing at The Moon], but ended up creating this odd True Intention that looked neither like a crane nor a crow.

But, surprisingly, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Under the "nourishment" of the Lv. 2 Super Kill, Lu Yuan's True Intention instantly soared to over thirty meters, far exceeding the limit of the True Intention Stage.

It could no longer be called True Intention, but rather... a kind of... Martial Arts Dharma Appearance?!

It was as if he had accidentally opened a path.

Ordinary martial artists cultivate Martial Arts True Intention, but I, an extraordinary martial artist, cultivate Martial Arts Dharma Appearance... Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, his expression soon relaxing. "It makes sense."

He casually raised his hand and threw a punch.

The thirty-meter Demon Crane Dharma Appearance behind him moved in sync. Its huge, black crane claw lightly pressed into the void, and an invisible force suddenly erupted into tangible power.

BOOM!

Lu Yuan had merely made a punching gesture, yet an entire interior wall in the villa's main hall completely shattered and collapsed.

"Not bad. This power is closer to the concept of extraordinary. It has great potential!"

Lu Yuan walked out through the hole in the villa wall and into the courtyard.

That single strike from the Demon Crane Dharma Appearance had sent Pei Ye flying hundreds of meters away.

If it had been an ordinary True Intention Stage Fighter, that one blow would have been enough to obliterate them.

No wonder he's called the "Night Emperor." He can really take a beating and still not die.

Under his [Hunting Perception], Lu Yuan "saw" a figure frantically rushing toward him at high speed!

"Die!"

A long roar echoed from the distance, followed by Lu Yuan hearing the WHOOSH of the wind.

Then, a giant black tornado appeared in his vision, hurtling towards him at an unbelievably fast speed. The black tornado stirred the air, whipping up a gale that made the surrounding yellowed grass and trees rustle.

Lu Yuan squinted, vaguely discerning Pei Ye's figure within the black tornado.

He inhaled slightly, his legs abruptly bulging with power.

BANG!

The next second, the ground beneath Lu Yuan's feet exploded. He shot into the sky like a great bird, golden Martial God Strength rolling between his torso and arms like molten amber.

Reaching his zenith, he dived.

The thirty-meter-tall, pitch-black Demon Crane Dharma Appearance behind him spread its wings, emitting a sound that was neither a crane's cry nor a crow's caw, and lunged forward, following Lu Yuan's movement.

BOOM!

The Demon Crane Dharma Appearance collided directly with the giant black tornado.

However, the expected impact didn't occur. At the moment of contact, the giant black tornado suddenly dispersed, transforming into countless streams of black smoke that completely enveloped the Demon Crane Dharma Appearance.

The giant Demon Crane Dharma Appearance, entangled in the black smoke, struggled to flap its wings but could not break free.

"Huh?!" Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly.

Only then did he notice that this black smoke, and the preceding black tornado... were composed entirely of countless bizarre black moths. These moths were about the size of ordinary moths, with black wings and black bodies, but their heads were grotesquely twisted, laughing human faces. Their mouthparts gaped open, revealing rows of serrated teeth.

Numerous moths clung to the Demon Crane Dharma Appearance, voraciously tearing at it. The Demon Crane Dharma Appearance kept flapping its wings, trying to scatter the black smoke, but the sheer number of bizarre moths was overwhelming. The massive body, over thirty meters tall, was soon on the verge of collapsing from their gnawing.

The Demon Crane Dharma Appearance was a manifestation of Lu Yuan's spiritual will. As it came under attack, Lu Yuan immediately felt a slight, stinging pain in his mind. After a moment's thought, he simply let the entire Dharma Appearance dissipate with a soft pop, his Spiritual Power reverting to an invisible, insubstantial mist.

So this is the Evil God Power that Pei Ye wields? Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, but his face remained calm, showing no trace of disturbance.

By now, the black smoke, having lost its target, had begun to reconverge. The countless wisps of black smoke, formed from the bizarre moths, quickly coalesced into a giant black sphere. This sphere spun, continuously collapsing inward and shrinking...

Finally, a human figure was fully revealed.

"I originally... wanted to fight you as a pure Fighter." Pei Ye hovered silently in mid-air. Tens of thousands of bizarre moths crawled over him, clinging to each other, their bodies interlocking to form a strange, unsettling, yet inexplicably magnificent black armor. This armor enveloped almost his entire body. A pair of giant black moth wings, several meters wide, extended from his back, flickering slightly and emitting a cloyingly sweet scent.

Pei Ye looked down on Lu Yuan from above, his gaze indifferent, and said softly, "You forced me to do this. You... brought this upon yourself."

Lu Yuan blinked but said nothing.

Pei Ye, in the distance, flapped his wings, abruptly appearing before Lu Yuan as if he had teleported. A deep, wicked smile spread across his handsome, demonic face. He pointed at Lu Yuan.

"Die!"

"Worm Evil Devouring!"

BOOM!

Instantly, a huge black "torrent" gushed from Pei Ye's arm. In less than a second, this "torrent" had completely engulfed Lu Yuan. Countless human-faced moths flew out from the "torrent," circling and fluttering... Tiny, grotesque, twisted smiling faces flashed rapidly. Soon, the entire space was filled with a sinister, unsettling aura.

Pei Ye watched all this, his hands spread, eyes half-closed, a look of deep confidence and enjoyment on his face. In this domain, I am the God who controls everything! This is the strength of Evil Martial—the mysterious, extraordinary power that transcends the mundane. No matter how monstrous and outstanding you are in the Ancient Martial Arts World, so what? How can the fists and kicks of a mortal possibly contend with divine might...?

Guardian Xiang and two other Protectors silently appeared at the villa's entrance. Watching the scene unfold, their faces showed a mixture of complexity and awe.

"I didn't expect him to have developed the power of the Evil Emperor to this extent... He certainly has grounds for his arrogance."

"Well, it proves our judgment was correct."

"With his current strength, he might already qualify for recognition from the other Protectors."

As they spoke, Pei Ye, in the distance, seemed to hear their praise. With a flap of his moth wings, he slowly flew towards them with a regal air, black moths dancing behind him. He smiled and began, "The game is over, everyone..."

Before he could finish his sentence—BOOM!

A thunderous explosion ripped through the black moth torrent behind Pei Ye.

All four of them froze, and Pei Ye spun around rapidly.

WHOOSH—

A surging wave of intense heat washed over them. The countless erratically flying black moths were scattered like black paper ash swatted away.

Amidst these floating "ashes," a figure over two meters tall stood quietly, cloaked in dark red, his long hair whipping wildly. Waves of searing heat radiated from him, and any black moth that dared approach him twisted and melted silently. He was like a fiercely burning furnace, exuding an incredibly wild and intense heat.

"Ugh..." A flicker of shock crossed Pei Ye's face.

Before he could react, the figure vanished from his sight. The next second, a deep, raspy voice, like rolling magma, echoed in the air.

"One Domain... Power!"

An unprecedented, intense sense of crisis instantly enveloped Pei Ye. A dark red shadow spread rapidly towards him. His pupils contracted violently, the hairs on his body stood on end, and his scalp tingled numbly as if being yanked upwards. The giant moth wings on his back flapped furiously. Pei Ye's figure blurred in mid-air as he tried to dodge.

But in the next instant... he was pierced straight through, pinned in the void!

BOOM!

A thick arm, as wide as a common man's thigh, had impaled Pei Ye's entire abdomen, holding him aloft like prey speared and displayed.

HUFF... HUFF...

Beast-like gasps, accompanied by thick plumes of white vapor expelled with each breath. Pei Ye's eyes widened as he stared at the demonic, yet strangely handsome, face inches from his own.

"Ghk... ghk... ghk..." Strange sounds escaped his lips, his moth wings flapping wildly.

Suddenly...

BANG— With a loud report, Pei Ye's entire body exploded, transforming into countless black moths that vanished from the arm that had pierced him.

Tens of meters away, Pei Ye's figure reappeared. At this moment, his face was as pale as paper. The bizarre and gorgeous moth armor on his body had shattered and vanished, and the giant moth wings on his back were so faint they were nearly transparent. His previously pierced chest was now intact; it was unknown what method he had used to escape.

"Worm Evil Devouring!"

Pei Ye had barely paused after reappearing. Filled with shock, horror, and disbelief, he once again pointed at the terrifying figure in the distance. The black torrent materialized again. Countless black, bizarre moths appeared out of thin air within a radius of tens of meters, surging towards the dreadful figure.

Having done this, Pei Ye turned to flee without looking back.

Then, a calm voice, tinged with indifference, followed.

"Panic Boiling."

Instantly, countless images that had once filled Pei Ye with dread, made him tremble and fear, flashed through his mind like scenes in a revolving lantern. In his heart, fear and related emotions surged like a wildfire, sweeping through his entire being in a blink. His body trembled uncontrollably, tears and snot streaming down his face. He desperately wanted to flee, but his body and will refused to obey him.

He could do nothing but stand there and tremble.

The robust figure, radiating waves of heat, walked towards Pei Ye step by step. His shadow enveloped Pei Ye, and the terrifying pressure bore down on him, layer upon layer, like a tsunami.

A large hand gently gripped Pei Ye's head, lifting him into the air. Pei Ye's face was a mask of utter panic and terror, his handsome features smeared with tears and snot. He struggled desperately, mustering every last ounce of strength and courage. Finally... he managed to shout at the three Protector Characters of the Evil Martial Association watching from a distance, "What are you waiting for? Quickly... attack!!"

Guardian Xiang and the other two Protectors, who had been watching dumbfounded, were jolted awake by Pei Ye's hoarse shouts. Their figures flickered, hesitating whether to intervene.

At this very moment, a pair of crimson eyes glanced at them indifferently.

Then...

BOOM!

A vast amount of Death Qi suddenly erupted from the over-two-meter-tall, demon-like figure. This Death Qi was like a raging black flame, or a black cloak enshrouding him. His waist-length black hair flew wildly.

The next moment, a cold, calm, and raspy voice sounded lowly, "Your techniques are not as good as mine, your True Intention is not as good as mine, your strength is not as good as mine, your talent is not as good as mine... Even the Evil God Power you've mastered is inferior to mine! You acknowledge this trash as the Evil Emperor? You might as well honor me as the Demon Emperor! When I overturn Penglai and unify the Martial World, you all can ascend to lotus thrones!"

Upon hearing this, Guardian Xiang and the other two Protectors widened their eyes, their pupils contracting sharply. For a moment, they all froze, not daring to move.
