Meanwhile,

Within the shattered courtyard of the Chad Sect, the silence was not empty. It was heavy with sorrow with the loss of two of its members.

The dust settled slowly, like snow falling on a grave. Though the body was shattered into dust, they still buried their remains with trembling hands, the Sect Master Chad, clenched his fist.

He had originally hoped to have an easy life within another world with hisoverpowered system. He had hoped to build a sect that would last a thousand years, a beacon of light in a dark world. But now, looking at the pile of ash that was once his "brother," hr felt the cold, hollow ache of a heart that had been ripped from its chest.

Li Fan at the side, clenched his fist hoping to settle the debt, but the pain was too much. He fell to his knees, his body trembling like a leaf in a storm.

"Brother... Brother..." Li Fan's voice cracked, tears streaming down his face, mixing with the blood that trickled from his nose. He reached out, hugging the grave mound of ash that was once his mentor, the man who had taught him to walk when he had no legs, to speak when he had no voice.

The woman with glittering silver hair was crying, the fears still etched in her soul. She knelt beside the pile of ash that was once the muscular giant, her small hands trembling as she tried to gather the dust, as if she could piece him back together.

"He was... he was just a fool," she muttered, her voice cracking like dry ice. "He was strong, but he was kind. He shared his rations with me when I was starving. He told me that even if the world is cold, we must keep our hearts warm." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She looked up at the Sect Master, her eyes wide with a terror that had nothing to do with death and everything to do with the realization of their own insignificance.

"Master... what do we do?" she asked, her voice small, like a child lost in a forest of giants. "He said... he said we are family. He said we are the only family we have left."

He thought for a moment but what was there to do? There is nothing we can do. The only option is to flee. But where? The eastern region is too dangerous, and the central region is the den of the hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Pity!

Even if he wished to run, he couldn't.

Brrr!!

"What's happening?" Someone asked, seeing the space burning, the air distorting, the very fabric of reality tearing apart.

From within the burning space, emerged Young Master Wang clad in a celestial black robe engraved with purple runes, his eyes glowing with a cold, ethereal light.

This guy... That entry... He is aura farming. Chad gritted his teeth feeling inferior.

He had thought himself the protagonist of this tale, a man with a golden finger, destined to ascend the heavens. But this man... he didn't just enter; he descended. Like a calamity wrapped in silk.

Hold a breathe... Why has he descended? "Gulp!" he couldn't help but swallow hard, sweat forming on his forehead. Could it be that this guy came here to seek trouble?

The air around the dilapidated temple grew heavy, pressing down on the disciples' chests like the weight of a mountain, forcing them to kneel.

Li Fan, his eyes swollen and red, his heart a drum of war and grief, could not endure it. The sight of the man who had crushed his dignity, who had turned his brother into ash, standing there with the indifference of a god looking at an anthill—it snapped something within him.

"Arghhhhh!"

A roar tore from Li Fan's throat, a sound of raw, unfiltered agony. The blood in his veins boiled, the World-ending Dragon Physique reacting to his mortal despair. Dark, crimson scales erupted across his skin, jagged and sharp like black iron. The ground beneath him cracked, unable to contain the sudden surge of violent Qi.

Boom!

A phantom of dark dragon materialized above him, its roar shaking the very pillars of the dilapidated temple. It was a manifestation of a world-ending dragon. It is merely pressing working like a "natural Qi-suppressing array" suppressing everyone's Qi, be it friend or foe, making it hard to even breathe.

"Li Fan, stop! You are no match for him!" Chad screamed, his voice cracking with a mix of authority and desperation. Li Fan was burning all his potential, but thinking logically what else could he do?

Even the Conceptual Body of time & space girl was passed out without knowing when she would wake up. He had originally planned to flee but now, this Li Fan's physique has suppressed all the Qi be it spiritual or natural, making it impossible to use any movement technique.

"You have a nice body physique..." The one who spoke was Elder Gu, his voice cutting through the suffocating pressure of the dragon's aura like a jagged blade through silk. Obviously, his own Qi was suppressed as well, but cultivation isn't all about the Qi.

The real cultivation is about refining oneself and being free from the shackles of the world. Most Daoists believe that being free from shackles of to let go of all mundane emotions and attachments, but shackles of the world simply means the restrictions, laws, and rules art by the chaos and order.

On the Qi refining realm one can refine the spiritual Qi, on the foundation stage and grand foundation stage one can refine the body, on the Golden core one can form the golden core and refine natural Qi, on soul formation one can refine the soul space.

On the soul wandering realm one can refine the soul, allowing the soul to be free from shackles of the mortal body, on a nascent soul, one can refine the form True Soul and refine multiple souls, on the Soul Emperor realm one can refine their own law, on void refining one can refine the void.

However, on the long tedious journey, people often forget the core concept of cultivation, which is to refine oneself. Cultivation isn't about who has a bigger fist, but always remember bigger fist always comes to your own advantage.

"A physique that can naturally suppress Qi? How amusing..." There was a hint of satisfaction in his tone, but Young Master's face was composed as ever, completely ignoring "Chad" who was trying to activate his system to flee.

[Ding!]

[Escape failed. The laws of the surrounding space have been locked by a higher authority.]

[Chance of death: 100%]

[Ding!]

[ Mission issued!!!]

[Kill Wang Tianmo, the Taboo existence]

[Reward: unknown ]

The system notification was a death knell in Chad's mind. He stared at the floating text, his breath stuck in his throat. Higher authority?

Now he could only rely on Li Fan.

"Li Fan! Use the 'World-Ending Dragon Roar'! Don't hold back, burn your Dao essence if you must!" Chad screamed, his voice cracking under the immense pressure. He was like a general commanding a soldier to charge into a valley of spears, knowing full well the man would die, yet needing the time to flee.

Li Fan, his eyes burning with the crimson light of madness, did not hesitate. He opened his mouth, and the world seemed to stop.

The air in front of him distorted, not from heat, but from the sheer density of the sound waves gathering in his throat. It was a roar that sought to shatter the very strings of reality that bound him.

"ROAR!"

The sound wave was visible—a ripple of dark red energy that tore through the ground, reducing the stone tiles to dust and cracking the very pillars of the temple. It rushed towards Tianmo and Elder Gu, a tsunami of destruction intent on drowning them in oblivion.

Elder Gu did not even blink. He simply took a step forward, his right hand forming a claw.

"Overestimate your strength."

He grabbed the air. Though, his Qi was suppressed, but who was he? Someone who possessed 86 Supreme Dao Bones, multiple dragon bloodlines, physique, and bodies.

The crimson tsunami of sound, a force capable of turning steel into sand, crashed into an invisible wall of absolute authority. Elder Gu's hand, glowing with the faint, iridescent sheen of diamond bones, tore through the sonic wave as if it were wet paper.

Boom!

A shockwave of displaced air blasted outward, shattering the remaining windows of the dilapidated temple and sending the kneeling disciples rolling across the courtyard like dry leaves in a strong breeze of the autumn.

Li Fan gagged, blood spurting from his mouth as his connection to the roar was violently severed. His World-Ending Dragon Physique roared more violently, sensing a worthy battle, but the flesh was weak, the meridians shattered by the backlash of his own technique meeting an immovable object.

He fell to his knees, his vision swimming in a haze of red and black. The dust settled around him, coating his trembling form in a shroud of gray.

Elder Gu dusted his hands, the action casual, as if he had merely swatted away a fly rather than a technique born of a legendary physique. He looked down at Li Fan, his eyes devoid of anger, filled only with a cold, clinical curiosity.

"A World-Ending Dragon Physique... a vessel of chaos, yet the driver is a useless child. What a waste of Heaven's grace."

He took a step forward, the pressure of his late-stage Nascent Soul realm bearing down like the collapse of a mountain. The air grew thin, hard to breathe, as if the very oxygen had been crushed under his weight.

Chad took a deep breath, realizing any resistance was pointless. He got on his knees and kowtowed.

"Esteemed Young Master, mercy!!! I shall reveal everything about the system, please spare me..." he uttered, helpless. He wasn't foolish who would rather die than kneel and beg, he believed that with possession of the system, he would be spared.

The life ahead of him was vast and long, he didn't wish to put a full stop to his journey.

Chad's forehead pressed against the cold, unforgiving now-mud floor, his posture one of absolute submission. He waited, his heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird, for the judgment of the heavens to fall.

"M-Master... What are you doing? We shall rather die than kneel!" Li Fan uttered, his vision dimming, his heart trembling with a mix of betrayal and disbelief.

Young Master Wang wasn't even amused by the pathetic display of the so-called Sect Master. A dog that barks loudly often bites the softest, but a dog that rolls onto its belly before the teeth are even bared is worse than useless—it is meat that spoils the larder.

With a thought, Tianmo appeared before Chad. With his ability "Cheat the Cheater" he has already comprehended the system. This was a useful system that relies on sect disciples but it is insanely OP.

He can copy all Dao Talents of his disciples, however, if he has 100 disciples, he will have double the talent of his disciples for example, if his disciple has "X" bone he will have 2 "X" bones. If he has 1000 disciples, the talent duplicate mechanic will triple.

This works perfectly well with his new "Perk"— Sharing is caring.

Obviously, when Liu Ruyan reached the Golden Core realm, the new perk was sharing is caring—where anything he shares with Liu Ruyan, he will get the same but it only works with Liu Ruyan and no one else.

But thinking carefully, it can't even be exploited, because Liu Ruyan must utilize the gift for him to receive the benefit. If he gives her a sword bone, she must use it for herself. If she doesn't, he gets nothing.

It's a mutualistic relationship, not a parasitic one. The system is only trying to cultivate Liu Ruyan. This really is a "Simp" system.
