Becoming evil makes you ten times stronger, but becoming a demon gives you hundredfold strength

"I, Meng Yu, am now a handsome young man of twenty-eight,"

Meng Yu laughed heartily, walking away with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Ah?"

It took a while before Bai Hu realized what Meng Yu had just said.

This jerk.

Was she really that old?

...

Offline, the grand army continued with their arrangements and mobilization.

There were over forty thousand servants, and a continuous stream of reinforcements headed this way, covering the skies and spreading across strategic points. The Golden Core Nascent Souls hurriedly rehearsed, getting ready for the upcoming attack.

Previously, when they worked together with Meng Yu and others to eradicate Exotic Beasts, it was always Meng Yu and his group who contributed their effort, but this time, it was their turn to work.

Moreover, for nearly ten thousand years, Eternal Night Palace had accrued substantial blood debts to many, and there were those who would rather die than let Eternal Night Palace go without a burial along with them!

Calls for battle were high, and the Seven Great Sects were all prepared to accept casualties!

Meng Yu's announcement to give everyone three days had stirred up their emotions.

Shortly after going offline, another female Golden Core from the Eternal Night Palace logged on. She had a close relationship with Meng Yu and approached him with a soft attitude, saying that the Eldest Princess was just anxious and that it didn't represent that the Eternal Night Palace truly wanted to renege. She pleaded with Meng Yu to be a bit forgiving and so forth.

There was considerable anxiety within the Eternal Night Palace; although everyone had braced themselves for battle or even death, as the moment of truth approached, they discovered that there were other solutions.

They had spies among the allied forces and had heard the announcement Meng Yu had made to everyone: if the Eternal Night Palace was willing to surrender, he guaranteed their safety!

Meng Yu had indeed promised!

The people of Eternal Night Palace were also worried; they didn't know what cards Meng Yu held!

She spoke to Meng Yu in hushed tones, pleading with him, but did not receive any concessions in return; the three-day ultimatum stood firm. If you're not willing to accept it, then be prepared to fight.

Previously, I gave you too many opportunities!

At the same time, a traitor within the Eternal Night Palace had informed Meng Yu of the current situation there by updating the Ascension List.

Inside, chaos reigned with a divergence of opinions, and the revered leader found it difficult to make decisions while the Eldest Princess faced numerous accusations.

Offline, when Meng Yu met with the sect leaders, the issue of the Eternal Night Palace's surrender was addressed. Meng Yu told everyone that he had privately been in contact with some people from the palace, and if they surrendered, he was also prepared to provide them with some travel expenses and so forth.

Now, time was running out. He asked the leaders from the Ascension List to convince the people of the Eternal Night Palace not to choose a path leading to their doom; he assured them of his commitment to the agreement.

Meng Yu was acting like the ultimate player who, having secured his prize, suddenly turned cold, only to warm up again with the promise of an engagement ring, signalling that as long as you register to marry me, I promise happiness!

At this point, did the Eternal Night Palace dare to take the gamble?

In some respects, Meng Yu had exhausted all courtesy and morality, but from another angle, this further exacerbated the division within the Eternal Night Palace.

Even a madman's promise can find believers in times of despair, all the more so someone with Meng Yu's sterling reputation!

That day, Meng Yu's total number of kills in the Ascension List exceeded ten thousand!

The dragon's battles in the wild, its blood imperial yellow.

...

After disembarking the Flying Boat, Meng Yu flew toward the rear.

The destination was a small hill, already prepared for the occasion.

"Everyone, please step back."

The surrounding crowd had retreated, but many pairs of eyes remained fixed on Meng Yu.

It was a beautiful night with a clear moon and sparse stars. Meng Yu told Fairy Taohua, Master Lihua, and even Mirror Twelve that tonight, if he gained something, he might possibly reach Pill of Completion.

This was a joyous occasion, but it also left everyone feeling troubled.

"Don't worry, if things go awry, I'll trouble Senior Mirror Twelve to ensure my safety. Either way, I will ensure everyone can leave safely."

Meng Yu opened up the panel that he hadn't operated in a long time and saw the options for tenfold and Hundredfold Strength. His mind, however, went to Bai Qianqian.

She was the girl he truly loved, even though she later insisted on contacting the Immortal Sect for Meng Yu's safety. She stayed on the Immortal Sect's side, using her own safety as a guarantee for Meng Yu, and she knew... she knew that Meng Yu had later slept with Bu Shixian, Hua Miaochai, Hu Qingquan, and others.

"I'm sorry."

Meng Yu spoke softly; he had never compromised with the Immortal Sect for Bai Qianqian's sake.

Bai Qianqian, who had always been socially anxious, was continuously toiling away at the Immortal Sect.

She even felt guilty, thinking she had ruined Meng Yu's plans.

Then... he lived a merry life outside.

The Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, this path in the cultivation technique, had finally been cultivated to its limit. It was no longer possible to ascend another level during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

So, the time had come to break through.

"Settlement."

He murmured the spell, which was the love between him and Bai Qianqian.

I'm so glad to have met you, this rabbit.

Corruption strengthens tenfold, becoming a demon strengthens hundredfold.

All the beautiful past began to coalesce and converge, and after a long while, a grey lotus seed appeared before Meng Yu.

"Coward with color, heartless philanderer."

This was the system's evaluation of Meng Yu, and the settling lotus seed was likewise only a grey tenfold.

When thinking about it, Meng Yu once had grand ambitions. He even managed to help Bai Qianqian's Losers' Alliance sisters clear the levels...

But in reality, he never truly harmed Bai Qianqian. No matter how flirtatious he was outside, he never intended to hurt Bai Qianqian's heart. Even after causing various disasters in the Eternal Night Palace, it was all within a virtual world.

As for Bu Shixian, Hua Miaochai, and the others, Bai Qianqian instead blessed them and expressed gratitude toward Meng Yu for bringing them happiness.

Faced with such a rabbit, he was left speechless!

Alas... Thus, it could only be tenfold. Why didn't he harden his heart and deceive all of Bai Qianqian's close friends, sleeping with them all?

Alas, why didn't he let the Golden Core cultivators from Eternal Night Palace come over in reality and have a surrender ceremony?

Alas, alas, alas!

The grey lotus seed pulsed and skimmed over his various skills; at this moment, there was only one optimal choice.

The third path, tenfold strength, the achievement of the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber!

Tenfold!

...

The Shielding Formation blocked the surroundings, Superior Spirit Stones replenished the spiritual energy, and at this moment, Meng Yu's body suddenly began to vibrate.

Meng Yu seemed to enter a real world, and then he began to cultivate with undistracted focus.

Green mountains and clear waters, lush grass underfoot, he practiced with his saber.

Flowers bloomed and wilted, clouds unfurled and receded, he practiced with his saber.

Ordinary life, mundane daily routine, he practiced with his saber.

No need for slaughter, for in the Ascension List, in the repeated killings, he had accumulated too much murderous intent.

The Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, which would take a genius a decade to barely grasp, Meng Yu had nearly perfected.

And tenfold?

Unlike previous enhancements, this time around, Meng Yu suddenly discovered he could choose different paths.

His Blood Transmutation Divine Saber, born from slaughter, strong as a result of a powerful Divine Soul, brilliant with the four series of Sword Intent.

His Blood Transmutation Divine Saber included the earliest Original Blade Technique, the orthodox and traditional techniques of the Blood Knife Legion, the whimsical and complementary cultivation techniques, and even the Blood Transmutation Divine Saber passed down by the Blood Shadow Ancestor of the Blood Demon Sect.

Saber light like water, time like thread, Meng Yu practiced the techniques of this saber over and over.

Until one moment, a white crane danced in the boundless river of blood, tracing an arc.

Much like Meng Yu's saber.

The next moment, Meng Yu suddenly opened his eyes.

Before, many had praised Meng Yu's talent, and they would often wait to comprehend the Martial Arts True Intent until the real breakthrough moment, because they could use the enlightenment of this moment to create the Wisdom Fruit.

To achieve the Golden Pill, one's spirit, energy, and soul must reach perfection!

At this moment, Meng Yu's Divine Soul had never been so complete!

A saber mark appeared in his left eye, while a sword mark appeared in the right, this was Divine!

Towering flames rose, Shaoyang Mysterious Skill, Great Solar True Fire, and Way of the Dawn, three different kinds of flames, Shaoyang belonged to the present self, Great Solar stemmed from the ancients, Dawn represented the future, this was energy.

And Meng Yu's body, during these days, had absorbed the remnants of two Nascent Souls through the techniques of the Blood God Sect!

In the sky, thunder roared as Meng Yu's body sat cross-legged in the void.

After more than a decade, the day had finally come to forge the Golden Pill of Achievement with fierce fire!
