    These two are pretty good. One is about a character who becomes the master of the forbidden zone midway through his journey, and the other is about a character he cultivates himself. If you like the "cultivation" genre, you can check out the latter one.

    Kong Wudao: An invincible hunter emerging from the forbidden zone of time and space. In that mysterious and unpredictable forbidden zone, the laws of time and space were distorted. It was the cradle of the strong, and also the burial ground of countless secrets. Kong Wudao, as the divine son of the forbidden zone, ascended to the ranks of invincible geniuses during the era of destruction. The loneliness of invincibility led him to voluntarily seal himself in the Time-Space Heavenly Mountain, where he slept for countless years. When the Great Dao changed and the heavens entered an era of revival, countless heaven-defying individuals emerged one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Kong Wudao slowly awoke, only to have his peace shattered by a voice claiming to be the "Heavenly Hunting System." "Ding! The Heavenly Hunting System awakens, assisting the host in becoming the hunter of these heavens, invincible throughout the heavens!" The voice carried undeniable confidence, but to Kong Wudao, it sounded somewhat laughable. "Invincible across the heavens? My innate talent and strength are already invincible enough, not to mention I have the backing of the Forbidden Zone of Time and Space, and countless ancestors." Kong Wudao's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "My grandfather and many ancestors have already transcended this world. System? A useless accessory, what use is it?" Faced with the God's son's contempt, the system seemed to be provoked, falling into a strange silence before beginning its self-darkening and upgrade! "God-level Heavenly Hunting System upgrade complete!" The voice that rang out again made Kong Wudao raise an eyebrow. "[Ordinary chosen ones have been detected, not enough to become the master's prey. The Three Thousand Great Daos have been included in the hunting scope!][Congratulations, master, for obtaining 306 pieces of Primordial Dao Bone!][Devouring God and Demon Bloodline!][Innate Spiritual Treasure, Myriad Transformations Divine Weapon!][Master, you don't need to worry about the backlash of your luck, because you are the hunter of this entire heaven!]" A series of notifications demonstrated the terrifying power of the upgraded system, and a hint of interest flashed in Kong Wudao's eyes. From then on, the myriad worlds were plunged into an unprecedented panic. A powerful emperor, reborn after a long and arduous journey, eagerly anticipates returning to his former glory. However, he is immediately targeted by the Void Path and becomes its prey. A powerful figure, usually carefree and unrestrained, is now being relentlessly pursued by the Void Path, cursing, "Damn it! You've got the backing of all the forbidden realms! What's the point of being so invincible?" Meanwhile, a possessive and delicate woman, gazing at the Void Path's unparalleled beauty, is filled with infatuation: "I wish to become the sword of the Divine Child, to cut down all obstacles for him!" On this stage of the battle for supremacy, the Void Path, with absolute power and an invincible background, embarks on a crushing and exhilarating journey. Every step he takes makes the heavens tremble, and his name becomes a symbol of fear throughout the realms.
