Villain: I Devoured the Demon Lord, and Now the God-Slaying Female Emperor Is Pursuing Me

(Cao Thief + no System + decisive and ruthless + unscrupulous + fast, precise, and brutal...) Xu Chuan followed the path of demonic cultivation in his previous life, becoming an evil god so terrifying that his name struck fear across countless worlds. But the road to power was too cruel, defying the natural order and saddling him with immense karmic debt. As a result, Xu Chuan failed to survive the War of the Gods and fell alongside them. An era later... Reborn, Xu Chuan planned to use the Devouring Demonic Art he had created in his previous life to seize the fortunes and destiny of the chosen ones and cultivate his way to the title of Demon Venerable. It was a great plan, but unfortunately, Xu Chuan ran into an Empress. She wouldn't leave him alone and insisted they have a relationship. Xu Chuan puffed out his chest, standing firm with unyielding resolve. “I'm destined to reach the pinnacle of the Great Dao. Women would only slow my draw, becoming obstacles on my path forward.” The Empress pressed her sword to his neck and said coldly, “I'll give you one more chance to choose your words.” Xu Chuan looked terrified, breaking into a cold sweat. He swallowed and replied, “You don't count.” The Empress was stronger than him. He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to. With no other choice, Xu Chuan could only endure it for now and obediently do as the Empress said.
