Episode 1

“Senior Su Yang, we’d better not enter the deepest part of this labyrinth. In the ancient book I read at the Sect library, the tomb of the Dragon Demon King is guarded by Seven Demons equivalent to the Eternal Realm. Even the monsters there are comparable to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.” The skinny young man whispered to Su Yang, the leader of the group of Tianzun Sect disciples who were on a monster hunt in the tomb of the Dragon Demon King.

The labyrinth would open once a year and countless weak monsters would rush out, while the strong ones remained inside. It seems that the labyrinth was an ancient artifact that bound them including the Seven Demons guarding the tomb of the Dragon Demon King.

Every time the labyrinth opened, all the Martial Sects would send their disciples to hunt monsters, and it also served as a competition. Disciples who collected many monster crystals would usually be rewarded with high-level martial arts or become direct disciples of the Sect Leader.

Currently, Su Yang’s group which consisted of a dozen disciples from the Heavenly Emperor Realm had reached the middle of the labyrinth. They began to encounter several monsters that were equal to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, but those monsters could be subdued by ganging up on them.

“Brother Yang, we really should retreat. After all, we have collected dozens of Heavenly Emperor Realm monster crystals,” said a beautiful 18-year-old girl. However, she had already become a direct disciple of the Grand Elder because she possessed Heavenly talent.

The girl had always stuck to Su Yang after Su Yang, who was an outer court disciple, defeated her in the Tianzun Sect martial arts competition. At that time, Su Yang told her the weakness of her martial arts and gave her a solution to make her martial arts far more powerful.

The girl also fell in love with Su Yang whom she considered a martial artist who hid his cultivation because every time they sparred, Su Yang always got stronger.

She knew that Su Yang wanted to win this monster hunting competition so that he could enter the upper floor of the Sect library which stored secret martial arts scrolls, and become a direct disciple of the Sect Leader.

Su Yang wanted to become an Eternal Realm Warrior to defeat the Demonic Cult that had wiped out his Su Clan.

After his family was killed by the Demonic Cult a year ago, Su Yang began to train hard and no longer kept his Cultivation a secret so that he was pulled into the inner court of the Tianzun Sect. The elder who trained him said that in the future, Su Yang would become the strongest warrior equivalent to the First Martial Alliance Leader who sealed the Demon Emperor on the Tianlong continent.

“Don’t worry guys, we’ll be fine. From now on you guys just be spectators, I will destroy all the monsters that stand in our way,” replied Su Yang with a bright smile.

A virtual screen called “Heavenly System” appeared before him. The Heavenly System told Su Yang to enter the deepest part of the labyrinth. The reward was that in the tomb of the Dragon Demon King there was a Demon Crystal that stored spiritual energy equivalent to a thousand years of cultivation. If he absorbed the Demon Crystal, then his Cultivation would rise to the Eternal Realm. He also wouldn’t need to conserve his spiritual energy while fighting, as his spiritual energy wouldn’t run out even if he used high-level martial arts non-stop for years.

Su Yang, who was a novel writer from Earth, called this reward a legendary rare item that could only be found by the main protagonist. His dream when he was reincarnated into this world was to become the strongest warrior and have a harem of beautiful women.

“But the Grand Elder said if we found a door with a Dragon carving, then we should retreat. Because beyond that door is a labyrinth filled with monsters equivalent to the Heavenly Emperor, I’m afraid we won’t be able to defeat them,” interrupted the beautiful girl named Hua Yuerong.

Su Yang stroked Hua Yuerong’s head, who immediately blushed. “You know me best. Have I ever lied or boasted? I have a secret technique that can defeat high-level monsters easily.”

Su Yang still wanted to say something, but the labyrinth wall and the Dragon-carved door suddenly shook violently. A very strong killing intent made Su Yang and his colleagues fall and vomit a mouthful of blood.

Su Yang frowned, this was the first time he had felt such a terrifying killing intent. Even the Demonic Cult Followers who had killed many Cultivators didn’t have such strong killing intent.

“System, what happened? Aren’t those Demons near the Dragon Demon King’s tomb, why did they appear in the middle of the labyrinth?”

His current cultivation was not yet able to defeat Demons equal to the Eternal Realm. He had to kill a thousand monsters and turn them into his living puppets.

His plan when he reached the deepest part of the labyrinth was to have thousands of monster puppets fight the Seven Demons, and then he would use a one-time use cloak item from the Heavenly System which could make him invisible for a hundred breaths.

However, it seems this mission would fail and he was forced to let Hua Yuerong and his colleagues be killed by the Demon, while he would escape using the cloak item.

That action was cowardly and shameful indeed, but what else could he do, that was the only way to save himself from the Demon.

“Brother Yang, wake up! Let’s get out of here!” Hua Yuerong shouted loudly, shaking Su Yang’s body who looked lost in thought with a sullen expression, he didn’t even hear the screams of his colleagues.

Some of Su Yang’s colleagues had started to retreat, while some others were frozen in place because the killing intent had possessed their minds.

“Yuerong,” replied Su Yang, wiping the blood from the corner of his lips.

“The System cannot identify the entity behind the door!”

“System upgrading by consuming One Thousand Player Coins.”

“Re-identification!”

“The System cannot identify the entity behind the door!”

Su Yang was confused, how could the Heavenly System, a gift from God, be unable to identify the enemy? “Is it the revived Dragon Demon King or the Demon Emperor?” he muttered speculatively.

He had heard the legend of the unkillable Demon Emperor, so the First Martial Alliance Leader had no choice but to seal him behind a mountain of huge fortresses.

Boooommmm!

The door, which required an ancient artifact to open, suddenly exploded. A mound of monsters could be seen behind it, including the head of a human-bodied Demon rolling towards Su Yang’s group.

“Finally, I see the light after a hundred days of chasing these wild boars.”

A human voice and footsteps could be heard from behind the dark-looking door. It turned out that the speaker was a human whose body was covered in monster blood, making it impossible to see what he looked like.

“Do you guys have any Baozi, you naughty kids?” The figure asked, but his lips curled into a thin grin that made Su Yang and his colleagues’ hairs stand on end.
