The Villainesses Are All On My Side, How Can You Compete With Me? - Chapter 3:

Chapter 3: Primordial Heavenly Venerable Body, Terrifying Phenomenon

After receiving a Primordial Pill in return, Liu Bai recognized the System’s power. A gleam flashed in his eyes. When he first learned about his future, although he had the confidence to change it, going against the Son of Destiny still felt risky. But now, with the System by his side, Liu Bai only had one thought…

What’s a protagonist? He was the real powerhouse!

“Brother Liu Bai, why are you smiling?”

Luo Li saw the sudden smile on Liu Bai’s face and couldn’t help feeling curious.

Liu Bai smiled, “It’s nothing, I was just thinking—with this Spirit Advancement Pill, you’ll definitely break through to Battle Spirit. I’m happy for you.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

Luo Li felt deeply moved. She hadn’t expected Brother Liu Bai to care so much for her. She had spent the entire day at the Liu residence, and Liu Bai stayed with her the whole time, never once showing any impatience.

It was probably the happiest day she had experienced in recent years. She felt like she was floating the entire day, as if in a dream.

If not for the fact that it was improper for a girl to stay overnight at someone else’s house, she would’ve wanted to remain by Liu Bai’s side forever.

Reluctantly leaving the Liu residence, Luo Li recalled her time with Liu Bai throughout the day, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

“Brother Liu Bai has become gentle… that’s wonderful…”

Some passersby nearby, upon seeing the Blood Rakshasa—famed throughout the capital—actually smiling, all widened their eyes in disbelief, wondering if they were hallucinating.

But the moment Luo Li noticed their strange looks, her smile faded, and she returned to her usual icy, aloof demeanor, radiating a chilling aura that kept others away.

Only then did the crowd snap back to their senses.

That was more like it.

This was the Blood Rakshasa who slaughtered without blinking on the battlefield.

…

Inside the Liu residence.

Liu Bai’s father, Liu Jianglong, returned home. 

After hearing from the servants about today’s events, he was a little surprised and asked, “I heard you had a nice chat with that girl from the Luo family today? Is that true?”

“Of course it’s true.”

“But didn’t you dislike her before?”

“Huh? Why would I dislike her? Luo Li is beautiful and genuinely devoted to me. I’d have to be brain-dead to hate her.”

“Uh… but that’s not what you used to say.”

“I was brain-dead before. Now, I’ve poured all the water out of my head.”

Liu Bai spoke with a serious expression.

Though Liu Jianglong found it strange, he didn’t press further. He just sighed, “It’s good you’ve come around. Luo Li is a good girl. People say she’s a ruthless killer, but if you don’t kill on the battlefield, aren’t you just waiting to be killed?”

“That Blood Rakshasa nonsense is just what cowards jealous of her made up to slander her. You’d better treat her well.”

He had always been satisfied with Luo Li.

If Liu Bai hadn’t disliked her before, he would’ve gone to the Luo family to propose long ago.

Now that Liu Bai had come to his senses, the thought of proposing surfaced again.

“By the way, your birthday’s in a few days. After that, you’ll be sixteen. At your age, I was already engaged to your mother. Do you have a girl you like?” Liu Jianglong asked tentatively.

Liu Bai nodded, “Yes.”

“Who?”

“Luo Li.”

Bang!

Liu Jianglong suddenly slapped the table, startling Liu Bai.

Could it be that Liu Jianglong didn’t like Luo Li?

“Good taste! I’m very satisfied with Luo Li too. I’ll go talk to Uncle Luo about the proposal tomorrow!” Liu Jianglong said excitedly.

“Father, aren’t you being too hasty? This is between me and Luo Li. Even if it’s a proposal, I should be the one to go personally.” Liu Bai said.

“Alright, alright, you young couple take your time to develop things.”

Liu Jianglong laughed.

Afterward, Liu Bai returned to his room, took out the Primordial Pill, and swallowed it directly. In an instant, a vast medicinal power surged through his body!

The energy carried immense transformative force, beginning to reshape his bones, flesh, and meridians!

A power like never before surged within him!

His Heavenly Tyrant Body began to evolve into an Emperor Body—into the Primordial Heavenly Venerable Body!

Divine light radiated from his skin, runes flowed across him, his eyes gleamed like sun and moon, and a faint majesty appeared between his brows, as if a supreme heavenly being had descended to the mortal realm!

At the same time—

Above the skies of Great Zhou, golden light illuminated the night sky.

For a moment, the dark night was as bright as day!

Amidst the churning clouds, a supreme, mighty, and exalted Heavenly Venerable manifestation slowly formed in the void, towering at tens of thousands of meters, its whole body glowing with golden brilliance!

Celestial sounds echoed from the heavens. Dragons and phoenixes danced, qilins stepped across the sea, the mythical white beast Bai Ze appeared—all paying homage to the Heavenly Venerable manifestation.

Such a world-shocking phenomenon was not just noticed in Great Zhou.

Even in nations, sects, and regions beyond, all felt the tremor and couldn’t help but gasp.

“This kind of phenomenon… it’s too astounding!”

“Kilin walking the sea, dragons and phoenixes in harmony, Bai Ze as an omen, golden lotuses rising from the ground, the Dao’s voice resounding… any one of these alone could signify the birth of a Sacred Body, yet now, all of them appeared at once—what on earth has happened?!”

“What kind of terrifying existence has been born in this world?!”

Several powerful cultivators were horrified.

They all began using various means to trace the source of the anomaly.

But it was completely useless.

None of them could pinpoint where it came from—it was as if the origin of the phenomenon didn’t even belong to this world.

No history, no past, not even a present.

Only void.

Within Great Zhou—

The phenomenon came fast and left just as quickly.

In a flash, the Heavenly Venerable manifestation disappeared, and the sky returned to its pitch-black state.

Yet in those few brief breaths of time, it brought Great Zhou an unprecedented shock!

Night turned to day!

What kind of power could alter the heavens so effortlessly?!

Inside the royal palace—

The current female emperor of Great Zhou looked at the sky, her eyes filled with astonishment, “What was the source of that phenomenon just now? It was terrifying!”

“Shadow Guards! Investigate for Us!”

With a light command from her, several black-clad figures darted out of the palace.

Meanwhile, in a remote small city—

A young man stared at the sky, face filled with shock. He looked at a white-haired elder beside him and asked, “Master, what just happened?”

The white-haired elder said solemnly, “That phenomenon just now likely signifies the birth of a supreme, heaven-defying physique in this world.”

“Stronger than my Ten Thousand Flames Burning Heaven Body?” the youth frowned.

“Your Ten Thousand Flames Burning Heaven Body is indeed powerful, but it has yet to awaken. Even once awakened, it likely wouldn’t trigger such a phenomenon. Still, don’t belittle yourself. You’re blessed with fate, and that surpasses any physique. In time, you will surpass all and reach the peak of cultivation.”

The elder looked at the young man with hopeful eyes.

“Mhm, I won’t let Master down.”

The young man gave a faint smile.

Just then, a voice came from not far away, “Lin Huo, bad news! Your father lost a bet at the gambling house, refused to pay, and got his legs broken!”

Lin Huo’s eyes instantly shot out a surge of killing intent.

“Those who insult my family… die!!”

“But… but your father didn’t admit to his losses…” the man said.

“How is that my concern? He only refused to pay, and they dared to break his legs? They’re courting death!”
