Thunder roared across the sky as a stunningly beautiful immortal venerable hurled the Scroll of Myriad Laws, while a nine-foot-tall strong man delivered a killing blow with his palm. The black-robed youth's thousand clones shattered, and as his flesh and blood dissipated, his soul roared: "Why did the Spring Cicada Dance fail?!" Opening his eyes, he found himself in a strange world—a withered body covered in wrinkles, with a rotting corpse lying beside him. The former Demon Lord Fang Yuan was now the dying hero Mo Juren! Memories surged: he had poisoned cultivators and suffered a backlash, his bones turning at forty years old like an eighty-year-old withered tree. "This body... Is a new life given to me by the Heavenly Dao!" His cloudy pupils flashed with a sharp light. As he staggered toward the second corpse, the mountain wind abruptly stopped: "Come out!" A cold glint flashed in the shadows... High-energy plot twist # Decisive and ruthless (Former Demon Lord x Present-day Hero, see how a dual-souled old monster re-emerges on the path of immortality in the era of cultivation, click to witness defying fate↓↓) Rebirth and counterattack
