170 – One Punch to Destroy an Immortal! The Anomaly is Revealed

“Brother Wang, sorry to trouble you.”

Inside Qin Tian’s cave dwelling, he spoke helplessly.

“No problem.” Wang Ping shook his head.

“Speaking of which, Ye Xiaofan hasn’t been teleported here… That guy is obviously a Sacred Body, but now he’s blending in like a nobody.”

Seeing that Wang Ping didn’t mind, Qin Tian sighed in relief and then started to murmur.

“He’s not even ranked second in the Ye family; I doubt he’s even in the top ten.”

Hearing Qin Tian’s complaints about Ye Xiaofan, Cai Yonglong and others couldn’t help but laugh.

“Stop complaining about him. It’s actually good that he didn’t come.”

Wang Ping patted Qin Tian’s shoulder and said helplessly.

“Honestly, our current entrance was quite lousy, and we’ve probably already caught the anomaly’s attention. If he’s not here, it’s like having a hidden card. Although I don’t think it’s of much use, it’s better than nothing.”

“No way? Brother Wang, are we really exposed to the anomaly’s eyes?”

Qin Tian’s pupils shrank, showing some fear.

“It’s just my guess. Our teleportation spots are often very close to anomalies. To be accurate, if there are two chat group members in the same world, the chat group will teleport us near the member closest to the anomaly, making it easier to find and kill the anomaly.”

Wang Ping nodded, his face serious.

“Damn! Brother Wang, if you put it that way, haven’t I already been exposed to the anomaly?”

Qin Tian’s face twisted, panicking.

Damn, if he had already been exposed to the anomaly, it meant his life could be in danger at any time.

It’s just that the anomaly was plotting something before and didn’t act against him.

This situation seemed very familiar. Chen Yao and others had experienced it too, and he hadn’t expected to face it himself.

“You used to brag to Ye Xiaofan about how you joined the Holy Land comfortably. Now, Ye Xiaofan is being hunted, but it’s not as dangerous as your situation.”

Cai Yonglong said gleefully.

“…” Qin Tian’s face twitched, unable to argue.

“Don’t say any more. I’ll use my Golden Finger first.”

Wang Ping shook his head and said.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Wang Ping then brought up the Paid Simulation page again.

Although he thought they’d already caught the anomaly’s eye, Wang Ping decided to complete the Paid Simulation first.

Immersive simulations had another hidden benefit that Wang Ping noticed.

That is, while it felt like a long time had passed in an immersive simulation, the actual time outside was only a few seconds.

It has to be said, the optimized Life Simulator was indeed powerful.

So, Wang Ping wasn’t worried at all.

Even if anomalies were targeting them, it would take time, and during that time, Wang Ping could complete many Paid and Free Simulations to uncover the anomaly’s secrets.

“System, I choose the Purple Talent – Enlightenment Through Killing.”

Wang Ping set up several protective arrays and took out a divine weapon to protect everyone. Only after ensuring absolute safety did he say in his heart.

“Ding, talent selection successful, life simulation begins…”

The System’s voice sounded.

Then, Wang Ping felt his consciousness blur, his vision changed, and he was back in Blue Flame Valley of the Purple Spirit Realm.

“This scene switch really feels strange.”

Wang Ping scanned the familiar Blue Flame Valley and muttered.

“System, fast forward.”

Without thinking much, Wang Ping directly spoke.

As he finished, a screen appeared with familiar text floating up.

【Day One, you are filled with killing intent, leaving Blue Flame Valley to hunt down top experts of the Purple Spirit Realm.】

【Soon after leaving Blue Flame Valley, you destroyed a Holy Land, slaughtering an Emperor, three quasi-Emperors, and many Kings. Due to this mass killing of powerful experts, your talent improved, making your moves more powerful.】

【This excited you and made you even more bloodthirsty. With no hesitation, you became an enemy of the world, killing everywhere, especially targeting Holy Lands.】

【This action shook the entire Purple Spirit Realm, making countless experts look grim. They formed alliances without hesitation, sending many experts to hunt you down.】
You were fearless, fighting all the powerful beings in the Purple Spirit Realm alone. Despite the overwhelming forces and the need for divine weapons to hold your ground, you grew stronger with the purple talent ‘Enlightenment Through Killing’. Eventually, you broke through their encirclement and destroyed numerous formations.

Your immense power terrified countless people who tried to flee. Bloodthirsty, you chased and instantly killed an Emperor, using divine weapons to suppress the world, seal the space, and prevent escapes, aiming to annihilate them all.

Your ruthless behavior instilled fear in the surviving experts, who believed you might single-handedly exterminate the entire Purple Spirit Realm.

At this moment, Ji Bingyan from the Eternal Frozen Wastes could no longer remain calm in her cultivation. At this critical juncture, she chose to emerge, intending to suppress you.

The arrival of the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan shocked the experts of the Purple Spirit Realm, who never thought she was still alive and seemingly beyond the Emperor level, giving them hope.

You did not fear her emergence; on the contrary, you were excited to kill her as well.

After all, you had become stronger than in previous life simulations, while Ji Bingyan was not the Ji Bingyan who truly reached the quasi-immortal level a millennium later.

In other words, you had grown stronger, and Ji Bingyan had become weaker. The outcome was now evident.

The two of you began an intense battle. The more you fought, the more excited and bloodthirsty you became, while Ji Bingyan struggled more. She was even weaker than you imagined at this time.

Consequently, you sentenced the Ice Empress Ji Bingyan to death, brutally killing her. As a result, you grew even stronger, and your talent improved once again.

The remaining experts in the Purple Spirit Realm were horrified and completely despaired upon seeing you kill even Ji Bingyan. Some chose to fight you to the death, triggering explosions.

You continued the massacre unabated, and by the end, most of the Purple Spirit Realm’s experts were dead at your hands.

Yet, you were not satisfied and began another massacre. Across the five continents and seas, wherever there were King Realm cultivators, you killed them all.

However, you did not intend to kill ordinary people and cultivators, as you aimed for sustainable development. You wanted to unify the Purple Spirit Realm, cultivate strong individuals, and then hunt them to continuously grow stronger.

Subsequently, you enslaved many Nirvana Realm cultivators, established a massive Divine Kingdom to rule the Purple Spirit Realm, and began forming a systematic training program for cultivators.

After handling these matters, you found the Profound Turtle and sealed him to prevent him from causing trouble while you were in seclusion.

“Too ruthless, exterminating all the experts of the Purple Spirit Realm, even Ji Bingyan. This is the drawback of talents; one can choose them in simulations, but not as rewards…”

Wang Ping sighed as he looked at the simulation content.

Such talents were indeed strong but had significant side effects.

The Life Simulator had a particularly anomalous aspect to its talents.

Any talent that altered personality, regardless of its level, would cause trouble if chosen.

No matter your cultivation level, choosing such a talent would immediately change your personality, unable to curb this side effect.

Even if you were at the Nirvana Realm, choosing a white talent would still have the same effect.

Wang Ping did not understand this mechanism,

but he did not dare choose talents with such side effects as a reward, despite being tempted by their power.

Shaking his head, Wang Ping continued to gaze at the screen.

【Next, you began comprehending the Emperor’s scripture. Because of the talent boost from slaughtering many experts, your efficiency was much higher than in previous free simulations.】

【In the blink of an eye, eight hundred years passed, and you successfully comprehended the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture. You dispersed your cultivation and secretly switched to a new path.】

【Due to possessing all the Purple Spirit Realm’s resources and your enhanced talent from previously reaching the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, it took you only two hundred years to reach the same level again.】

【However, because you were cultivating the Emperor’s scripture, although your foundation was flawless and your power terrifying, the resource consumption was equally immense, depleting the top resources of the Purple Spirit Realm.】

【Without ruling the Purple Spirit Realm, you would never have reached the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, barely making it to the King Realm.】

【Resources in the lower realms are far inferior to those in higher realms. To keep up with higher realm geniuses, you extravagantly used resources meant for Emperors during early cultivation stages, creating a formidable foundation. The intense resource consumption was a result.】

【Upon reaching the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm, you chose to leave seclusion. As you emerged, the two realms also conjoined, and the Blood Demon Clan invaded the Purple Spirit Realm.】

【When the Blood Demon Clan arrived, they were astonished, sensing no formidable auras, not even one Emperor, only a few Kings.】

【This anomalous situation made the Blood Demon Clan wary, suspecting it was a smokescreen to lure them into complacency, making them hesitate to attack.】

The text simulation ended here, and numerous images appeared before Wang Ping’s eyes.

Various insights flooded his mind, and his body’s power surged to its peak.

However, it was no longer a mix of attributes, but pure fire-elemental power.

This fire-elemental power was far stronger than the composite attributes of the Primordial Spirit Technique, a difference like night and day.

“The purple talent ‘Enlightenment Through Killing’ is indeed powerful, directly mastering the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture and quickly reaching the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm again. However, the murderous intent is terrifying.”

Wang Ping’s face turned grim, an uncontrollable urge to kill brewing inside him.

In reality, unsimulated events were shown as images.

Wang Ping would occasionally indulge in sadistic killings to satisfy his near-mad murderous intent, truly perverse.

“I wonder if choosing cultivation would still affect me. If it does, that’s troubling.”

Wang Ping thought, troubled.

He had considered this before the simulation.

Though tempted by the rewards of the Life Simulator’s talents, he refrained due to their side effects, choosing to overlook them.
Now, feeling this terrifying killing intent firsthand, he was a bit worried.

After all, this was the side effect of a talent, different from being schemed against in previous rewards.

However, at this point, Wang Ping had no choice but to accept it.

“Next, it’s time to meet the Blood Demon Clan… I hope it can satisfy my killing intent.”

Wang Ping’s face was cold, with an uncontrollable killing intent in his eyes. The space around him rippled, and he disappeared.

Soon after, Wang Ping’s figure appeared out of thin air in Central Continent, at the junction of the two realms.

Wang Ping looked disdainfully at the numerous strong figures of the Blood Demon Realm, especially staying his gaze on the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Realm for a longer time, with a flicker of red light in his eyes.

To him, these strong figures of the Blood Demon Realm were nothing but nourishment for his growth.

Wang Ping’s sudden appearance startled the many strong figures of the Blood Demon Clan, but they ultimately breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After all, having a Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm strong figure appear was the normal situation.

More strong figures should appear next.

This is the normal progression after the boundary of the two realms…

Otherwise, it would indeed be too anomalous.

However, these strong figures did not notice that the emperors of the Blood Demon Realm, even the quasi-immortals of the Blood Demon Realm, showed expressions of fear.

Because they sensed a deadly danger from Wang Ping.

Besides this, Wang Ping’s uncontrollable killing intent made their scalps tingle and their hearts grow cold.

How many people did this guy kill to have such terrifying killing intent…

Even for them, bloodthirsty strong figures of the Blood Demon Clan, their killing aura was less than one percent of Wang Ping’s.

“Who are you? Where are the other strong figures of the Purple Spirit Realm?”

The quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan asked Wang Ping gravely, his heart filled with a chilling assumption.

“Hehe, no need to wait… As for the other emperors of the Purple Spirit Realm, it’s just me… The others are all dead.”

Wang Ping grinned sinisterly, his smile sending chills down the spines of the many cultivators of the Blood Demon Realm.

What a joke, a man who slaughtered an entire realm’s worth of strong figures… What kind of lunatic is this?

Moreover, how terrifying must his strength be?

“Lunatic…”

Even the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Realm cursed, his face grave. A feeling of unease surged within him.

He was a quasi-immortal; facing an emperor, he should look down upon him, but now he felt that he might not be a match for Wang Ping.

This guy is definitely not a normal human cultivator…

“Heh, quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan, I’ll give you a chance: immediately have your other strong figures sacrifice themselves to break through to the incomplete state of the Void God Realm, or else, die.”

Wang Ping looked coldly at the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan, his killing intent surging.

The terrifying killing intent turned the sky blood-black. The terrifying killing intent seemed almost tangible, causing the faces of the cultivators of the Blood Demon Clan to turn pale.

Cultivators below the Emperor Realm even showed signs of being unable to stand, falling to the ground.

Even the emperors wavered, their faces showing shock.

This killing intent was too terrifying, enough to impact their souls and make their spirits unstable.

“You’re too arrogant!”

The quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan roared, his face darkening, and directly attacked Wang Ping, coalescing his terrifying Blood Demon power into a dragon that rushed fiercely towards Wang Ping.

“Boring…”

Wang Ping’s expression was indifferent. With a single punch, not even using flames, he directly obliterated the powerful attack of the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan.

“What!?”

Seeing this, the face of the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan was filled with shock and fear.

Although he hadn’t used his strongest move, he hadn’t held back either. He didn’t expect that this attack would be so easily destroyed by Wang Ping.

“I’ll give you one more chance, sacrifice immediately, or die…”

Wang Ping’s figure flashed, appearing in front of the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan, his palm pressing directly onto his face. With a slight force, he crushed his head.

However, Wang Ping did not plan to kill him.

Therefore, the headless body of the quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan quickly retreated, with his head rapidly regrowing, but his complexion was extremely ugly.

Faced with a sovereign, he should have crushed him, but was easily killed by the other party, and only survived because the other party showed mercy; this sense of powerlessness and humiliation nearly drove him insane.

“I said it before, I’ll give you a chance—let your Blood Demon Clan sacrifices its strong, or else, die.”

Wang Ping stood with one hand behind his back, coldly looking down at the quasi-immortal and many strong members of the Blood Demon Clan.

“Damn it, Blood Demon Clan strong, listen to the command, immediately perform the sacrifice! Your glorious deaths today will allow the Blood Demon Clan to rule both realms, with no race to rival us. Your descendants will become even more powerful.”

The quasi-immortal of the Blood Demon Clan roared with a ferocious expression.

He was forced to a corner and could only make a gamble, letting other Blood Demons sacrifice themselves.

Otherwise, he would die, and so would other Blood Demons; the entire Blood Demon Clan would be exterminated by this bloodthirsty guy.

As the quasi-immortal’s roar echoed, the other Blood Demons turned pale but understood now wasn’t the time for hesitation. One by one, they regained their fierce expressions and resolutely chose to sacrifice.

In an instant, all the strong members of the Blood Demon Clan turned into shocking blood energy, merging into the quasi-immortal’s body, causing his power to soar crazily.

Moreover, dense blood energy drifted from the passage connecting the two realms, also absorbed by the quasi-immortal.

And Wang Ping, he merely looked on.

Compared to killing a quasi-immortal and numerous sovereigns, killing a Void God would yield greater benefits, so he made this choice, forcing the quasi-immortal to become a true Void God.

Furthermore, Wang Ping wanted to see if he now had the power to fight a true Void God realm expert.

If he had such strength, he could try to venture deep into the Forbidden Ground of the Primordial Holy Land and see what’s inside.

As time passed, the quasi-immortal became increasingly powerful, his aura far surpassing quasi-immortal, reaching the Void God Realm.

To be precise, this wasn’t a perfect Void God Realm.

Wang Ping had seen the elder who exuded the aura of the Void God Realm in action; he was the true Void God, and whether it was his body, mana, or soul, it all felt completely different—truly like a divine being.

Of course, Wang Ping didn’t know exactly what level the elder belonged to, but the current quasi-immortal before him couldn’t be compared to that.

Though his physical body and soul seemed to have reached the Void God level, lacking divine essence prevented the complete transformation of his mana, so he couldn’t be considered a true Void God Realm.

Additionally, the Void God Realm had another critical characteristic: the understanding of pseudo-laws.

Void God Realm without comprehending pseudo-laws were merely half-baked Void Gods, the basic unit of combat power surpassed by more gifted people in the upper realm.

“Human sovereign, you await my ascension to godhood, such arrogance… For this, you shall pay today!”

The Blood Demon Clan’s Void God, feeling the immense power within, regained his confidence, arrogantly looked down on Wang Ping and delivered a thunderous slap.

Faced with this terrifying slap capable of destroying Central Continent, Wang Ping’s expression remained cold, calmly throwing a punch.

In an instant, fire-attribute mana surged from his body, forming a flaming fist that fiercely collided with the Void God’s slap.

With a ‘crack,’ the Void God’s slap was directly shattered by Wang Ping, turning into scattered blood energy and causing widespread devastation in Central Continent.

“How can this be!?”

The Blood Demon Clan’s Void God was filled with horror, unable to accept the reality.

Though he ascended to godhood, his mighty attack was easily broken by Wang Ping.

He couldn’t accept this.

As a god, he still lost to a sovereign.

“Too weak.”

Wang Ping commented, shaking his head in disappointment.

Then, Wang Ping had no intention of wasting more time with the Void God, cruelly throwing another punch.

This punch, recorded in the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture – Mortal Realm chapter as the emperor-level divine ability Incinerating Heaven Emperor Fist.

In a flash, terrifying scarlet flames formed a mighty fist, bearing supreme emperor might, shattering and incinerating most of Central Continent, hurling toward the Void God.

“No!”

The Blood Demon Clan’s Void God, sensing a fatal threat, tried to muster all his divine power to block this terrifying punch, but to his horror, all his means were futile, as they were easily incinerated by the overwhelming Incinerating Heaven Emperor Fist, and then crushed by the horrifying punch force.

In the end, the Void God could only despairingly and resentfully be completely obliterated by the Incinerating Heaven Emperor Fist, not even a speck of dust remaining.

Wang Ping, with one punch, killed a Void God.

“System, continue to fast forward.”

After killing the Void God of the Blood Demon Clan with one punch, Wang Ping said coldly.

As Wang Ping uttered this, he also detached from the irresistible terrifying killing intent.

This finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems, insights and such would remain, without causing negative effects on himself.

As long as you don’t choose the purple talent, ‘Enlightenment Through Killing,’ there won’t be any major issues.

I can only say, the optimized Life Simulator is really fantastic.

Wang Ping sighed in admiration once again.

At this moment, the screen reappeared, and text floated into view.

【After you obliterated the Void God of the Blood Demon Clan, each of your strikes became even stronger. Additionally, your talent once again improved.】

【You chose to return to your Divine Kingdom to continue cultivating. This time, your goal was to comprehend the pseudo-laws of fire and sword.】

【In the blink of an eye, several decades had passed, and you successfully comprehended ten percent of the sword’s pseudo-law.】

【Another few decades passed, and this time you comprehended ten percent of the fire’s pseudo-law.】

【Not long after you grasped the fire pseudo-law, something happened that was different from your previous simulations: you distinctly sensed a spatial fluctuation above the seas, and two powerful auras descended.】

【You knew very well that two strong cultivators from the Upper Realm had appeared in the Purple Spirit Realm. Given the timing, you were not surprised by their appearance.】

【Thus, you decided to go to the Forbidden Ground of the Primordial Holy Land, determined to delve deep within and uncover the great secret that could attract strong beings from the Upper Realm to the Purple Spirit Realm and annihilate two realms.】

【Because you were strong enough now, you ventured deeper than in your previous memories.】

【However, even now, you couldn’t withstand the deeper encroachment of the black fog; the danger to your life was imminent.】

【You didn’t panic and had Cai Yonglong use his ‘Golden Finger’ ability to bolster the energy barrier around you.】

【With Cai Yonglong’s ability enhancing you, creating a three-second invincible defense, you fearlessly rushed into the deepest parts of the Forbidden Ground of the Primordial Holy Land as quickly as possible.】

【Then you witnessed a truly shocking sight.】

【At the deepest part of the Primordial Holy Land, a pitch-black long spear was sealed. The so-called black fog was merely the aura leaking from this pitch-black spear.】

【You couldn’t imagine what grade of weapon this spear was. The only thing you knew was that it was not something even a God Realm cultivator could handle.】

【Not to mention Void God Realm cultivators, even a Great Perfection God King would have no right to touch this black spear.】

【As you were in shock, Cai Yonglong’s ability time ended. You and Cai Yonglong were instantly engulfed by the black fog, turning to nothingness.】

【Due to the Rebirth Talisman, you were resurrected, but you were once again engulfed by the black fog and absolutely died.】

【Due to your death, this simulation ended…】

…

‘Still died, huh. But, the gains this time were substantial. Without the purple talent, I don’t know how long it would’ve taken to comprehend the Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture, enhancing my combat power to the point of defeating a quasi-immortal.’

‘Moreover, there’s no way I could comprehend the pseudo-laws that only Void God Realm cultivators can grasp. While pseudo-laws are but a transition between domains and Dharma forms, they far surpass those abilities.’

Wang Ping looked at the simulation content and exhaled lightly.

At this moment, Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred, his vision altered, and he found himself in the deepest part of the Forbidden Ground of the Primordial Holy Land, with various insights and scenes emerging in his mind.

After everything ended, he personally witnessed the black spear sealed deep within the Forbidden Ground.

This black spear was even more terrifying and anomalous than described in the text simulation.

At its shaft, a crimson eye emitted an eerie glow.

‘This must be a demonic weapon. Perhaps, a demonic weapon on par with a Sacred Weapon.’

Wang Ping couldn’t help but speculate.

He had never seen a Sacred Weapon; he had only ever held a low-grade divine weapon.

A low-grade divine weapon, even in the Upper Realm, is merely the weapon of a quasi-immortal or an ordinary Void God. Its grade is vastly inferior to the black spear.

‘If I could obtain this weapon, even if I couldn’t use it normally, it would still be a trump card.’

Wang Ping thought greedily.

But it was only a thought.

This terrifying item, knowing nothing about its full nature or how to make it recognize a master, attempting to unseal it could lead to destruction.

The Purple Spirit Realm and the Blood Demon Realm, these two lower realms, were annihilated in an instant, leaving nothing behind; it was simply too terrifying.

This was merely the result of the aura leaking from the black spear.

If it released its full power, the unimaginable horror it would bring…

‘I now suspect that it wasn’t the two beings from the Upper Realm who intended to destroy the two realms but rather that their attempt to control the black spear led to their demise. In the spear’s outburst, they too perished.’

Wang Ping silently mused.

At this moment, Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred, his vision altered, and he returned to the cultivation world where Qin Tian resided.

Because he had already absorbed the insights at the end, Wang Ping didn’t worry about any delays in important matters due to the additional insights reward.

‘Ding, the rewards have been generated successfully. The host can choose two rewards from the following list as a reward:’

1. Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm (Acquired through re-cultivation).
2. Purple Talent: Enlightenment Through Killing.
3. A random Emperor Weapon.
4. Blue Talent: Speed Enhancement.

“Four rewards? Purple Talent: Enlightenment Through Killing…”

Wang Ping looked at the reward options, feeling a bit envious, but he couldn’t choose it; he had no choice but to give up.

Moreover, Wang Ping felt a little regretful.

That is, if he could separate the power and injury enhancement from the Purple Talent: Enlightenment Through Killing and have them as standalone rewards, it would have been perfect.

If that was the case, Wang Ping would definitely have chosen one of them.

But alas, there are no ‘ifs’ in this world; a missed opportunity is just that, a missed opportunity.

“System, I choose ①. Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm and ③. A random Emperor Weapon.”

With that, Wang Ping made his choice without hesitation.

He didn’t even glance at the Blue Talent: Speed Enhancement.

After all, blue talents simply couldn’t keep up with the pace anymore; choosing one would be a waste of valuable reward options.

As Wang Ping made his choice, he felt an Emperor Weapon appear out of nowhere in his small world, and the cultivation within him surged.

Although his realm didn’t change at all, his mana intensity had increased by an unknown magnitude.

Having cultivated the ‘Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture’ for the Mortal Realm and enhanced it with all the precious resources from the Purple Spirit Realm, the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm was overwhelmingly powerful.

“It’s a pity I didn’t get the extra injury enhancement brought by the purple talent. Without that pseudo-law, I’m not as strong as when I could punch a Blood Demon void god to pieces. My battle power has suffered greatly.”

Wang Ping silently compared in his mind.

Of course, even his current self, using the divine abilities recorded in the ‘Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture’ for the Mortal Realm, could still punch a Blood Demon void god to pieces.

Now, he truly possessed the power to surpass boundaries and destroy ordinary Void God Realm experts.

However, this perfect foundation and immense power brought new problems.

The difficulty of perfectly breaking through to the quasi-immortal and Void God Realm in the lower realms was high.

The lower realms simply didn’t have the resources.

There’s also a bigger issue.

He only had the cultivation method for the ‘Incinerating Heaven Emperor’s Scripture’ for the Mortal Realm.

To continue to build a perfect foundation and pave the way to become an emperor, he would need to find the Emperor’s scripture for the God Realm.

Although the first Great Emperor hadn’t practiced the Emperor’s scripture before becoming an emperor…

Practicing the Emperor’s scripture is not a necessary condition for becoming an emperor, but compared to those who don’t practice it, those who do have a much more solid foundation and a higher probability of reaching higher realms.

At the same time, cultivating various Emperor’s scriptures makes it easier to create one’s own emperor scripture.

These advantages are too significant to ignore.

Next, he has to find a way to reach the upper realms, using his Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm cultivation to do so.

Otherwise, without further cultivation methods and adequate resources, staying in the lower realms would have him stuck at the Great Perfection of the Emperor Realm.

“What’s more concerning is, with my cultivation increased, I have fewer opportunities for paid simulations.”

Wang Ping silently calculated in his mind.

Unless he goes insane and kills most of the emperors in the Purple Spirit Realm to seize their king and emperor weapons, his remaining simulation chances are limited.

However, without his life being at stake, Wang Ping didn’t want to commit such heinous acts.

Of course, if it involves his safety, Wang Ping could only apologize. Although he would try not to kill these people, he would definitely take their emperor and king weapons.

After all, it’s a matter of survival of the fittest…

Then, after overcoming the danger, he would compensate them adequately.

“Next, it’s time to deal with the anomalies of this world,”

Wang Ping’s eyes flickered as he exhaled lightly, speaking in his mind.

“System, I want to start a free simulation.”

“Ding, Life Simulator activated, free simulation starting.”

The system’s voice rang again, and Wang Ping’s consciousness blurred, signaling that the immersive simulation had begun.

“System, fast forward for me.”

Wang Ping spoke again.
“Ding, fast forwarding…”

The System’s voice rang out again, and the screen appeared, with familiar text floating up.

【On the first day, you discussed how to find the anomaly, but there was no result. After some thought, you decided to take action secretly and first investigate the Thunder Realm Sanctuary.】

【After all, with your current strength, it would be very easy to conduct an investigation without being discovered by the cultivators of Thunder Realm Sanctuary.】

【Next, you began your action. However, despite searching all the secret places in Thunder Realm Sanctuary, you couldn’t find any traces of the anomaly, nor did you find anything strange about it.】

【This didn’t surprise you, as the way you arrived had already exposed you, making it unlikely that the anomaly would be easily discovered.】

【A day later, the Thunder Realm Sanctuary hosted a celestial banquet and warmly invited you to attend. You couldn’t refuse, so you chose to attend. However, you were always cautious and didn’t eat or drink anything at the banquet.】

【As for Cai Yonglong and the others, they had no such qualms and chose to eat. In their view, everything was beneficial, and not eating would be a waste. There’s nothing better than getting something for free.】

【Of course, the reason they thought this way was that they believed Thunder Realm Sanctuary wouldn’t dare poison them openly. With you there, it would be easy to detoxify them and destroy a few people from the sanctuary.】

【You didn’t stop Wu Jun and the others from eating, because for you, gathering information was the most important thing. If they got into trouble, it would actually be a good thing, as it might help you catch the anomaly.】

【If the Grand Elder of the Thunder Realm Sanctuary wasn’t foolish, they wouldn’t harm you. If something did happen, it would only be the anomaly at work.】

【Of course, you didn’t believe the anomaly would be foolish enough to use such a low-level trick against you… Unfortunately, nothing is absolute.】

The text simulation stopped here.

In front of Wang Ping, various honeys appeared, and finally, his vision landed on the celestial banquet.

Although Wang Ping acted like he was eating, none of the food actually entered his body.

To be precise, these cultivators had unknowingly fallen into his illusionary Divine Ability.

After all, for someone who had killed many anomalies, Wang Ping would never expose his skin in another world, let alone eat or drink anything… Even pretending to eat and then transferring it out instantly was out of the question.

He wouldn’t let anything from an anomalous world touch his body.

He had no choice; it was a hard-learned lesson that he couldn’t ignore.

“After that illustrative textual simulation appeared, did it automatically switch to immersive simulation mode? It looks like there really was an issue with this celestial banquet, which is an unexpected development.”

Wang Ping glanced at everyone at the celestial banquet and frowned slightly.

“If nothing unexpected happens, branching paths seem to be between eating and not eating at the banquet. If they eat, they are very likely to have problems.”

Wang Ping used his Spiritual Sense to examine the items at the banquet again, but found nothing.

“I can’t figure out what’s going on. I’ll stick to not eating and keep fast forwarding.”

Wang Ping sighed.

【Soon, the celestial banquet ended. You carefully checked the bodies of Qin Tian, Wu Jun, and the others, finding they seemed to have no abnormal conditions; in fact, their strength had increased, clearly benefiting from the banquet.】

【This left you with mixed feelings. After that, you quietly continued searching for information, but unfortunately, you couldn’t find anything abnormal.】

【In the blink of an eye, fifty years had passed. During this time, many things happened in the cultivation world, and Qin Tian steadily progressed to the peak of the Integration stage.】

【As for Ye Xiaofan, he still hadn’t joined you and was nowhere to be found, even you couldn’t locate him.】

【However, even after all these years, you still couldn’t find the anomaly, which left you quite frustrated. In this world, you couldn’t employ the forceful methods you used to destroy the world and force out the anomaly.】

【Because this is the cultivation world, and while there may not be anything here that can challenge you, this world has close ties to the Immortal Realm. Cultivators can summon reinforcements from there.】

【In other words, if you overdo it and try to become a world-destroying devil, you might attract terrifyingly powerful beings.】

【Even you wouldn’t come out unscathed. While you are powerful, you are not invincible. There are definitely stronger immortals in the Immortal Realm, and not a few of them.】

【Yet, continuing to search slowly like this yields no results, making you very frustrated.】

【In the blink of an eye, another thirty years passed. In these thirty years, you wandered the world, still finding nothing abnormal. It was as if the anomaly didn’t exist in this world, which was very strange.】

【By that time, Qin Tian successfully passed his tribulation and reached the Great Ascension stage, ready to ascend to the Immortal Realm at any time.】

【Qin Tian was helpless about whether to ascend to the Immortal Realm and gain infinite longevity.】

【After thinking it over, you decided to let Qin Tian ascend. You believed the anomaly might not be in this world but in the Immortal Realm. If Qin Tian went there, he might get some valuable information for you.】

【Qin Tian agreed and chose to ascend to the Immortal Realm, disappearing from this world.】

【You continued to wait for Qin Tian’s message while searching the mortal world for the anomaly.】

【In the blink of an eye, another hundred years passed, and you still found nothing abnormal. This made you silent, unable to figure out where the anomaly was hiding or what its abilities were.】

【In your confusion, you returned to the Thunder Realm Sanctuary to search again, to see if you had missed anything important.】

【Unfortunately, even upon returning, you found nothing new. In the end, you sighed and left, wandering as a mortal in a large city thousands of miles away from the Thunder Realm Sanctuary, feeling a sense of long-lost relaxation in the human world.】

【Just as you were relaxing, someone approached you. It was Ye Xiaofan, who had disappeared for many years.】

【At this time, Ye Xiaofan had become a puppet, with no awareness of his own, which infuriated you. He led you to a place where ‘it’ was waiting for you.】

【You were simultaneously frightened and delighted, as you finally knew where the anomaly was.】
