Xuanhuan: This Good-for-Nothing Becomes the Eternal Number One Demon Venerable

Good-for-nothing rises to power + great villain + villain triumphs + clever protagonist + little romantic entanglement + a satisfying power fantasy

“Wang Xiaoliu? That good-for-nothing with a leaky dantian?”

At their grating mockery, I grinned. They had no idea that inside this good-for-nothing shell was the Netherworld Demon Venerable, whom the so-called righteous patriarchs Xuantian, Qinglian, and the others had conspired to kill!

Meridians blocked? I have an ancient body-refining secret art! Short on resources? I can spot treasures in the market at a glance! A genius picks a fight? One finger is all I need to teach you a lesson!

Making a name for myself at the academy? Fighting over treasures in ancient tombs? Founding a sect? They're all just stepping stones on my path to revenge. Watching those aloof saint sons and daughters and sanctimonious patriarchs go from disdain to shock, then fear, right before my eyes... It feels so good!

In this life, I, Wang Xiaoliu, won't be a hero. I'll use this good-for-nothing identity to play the pig to eat the tiger, deliver face-slapping after face-slapping, gather all the world's “castoffs,” and reclaim the Netherworld! The old dogs who surrounded and slaughtered me back then will tremble on their knees beneath my imperial throne! It's time for a villain to make the rules in this cultivation world! As for the “Shadow of Heaven”? Heh, the reckoning has only just begun...**
