    This brings us to our Cangzu. When he couldn't defeat the Desolate Emperor, he went to his hometown for "advanced training." When his cultivation level couldn't be improved after rebirth, he made others cultivate his "Human Emperor's Technique" (actually the Underworld King's Wedding Dress Technique). When others achieved cultivation, he would devour them to extract their cultivation. If he saw a sword intent that caught his eye, he would kill and seize it. Otherwise, he would sacrifice the common people to improve his cultivation. He even wanted to harm his own clansmen. He is definitely a rare gem in dark fiction!
