Numerous continents suffuse the three thousand worlds, filled with diverse sects and clusters of formidable beings.
The continent of Haoyue reveres strength above all, with formidable martial artists known as cultivators.
The realm of a martial artist is divided into two major stages: the postnatal realm and the prenatal realm.
The postnatal realm further splits into four stages: the body tempering stage, the bone strengthening stage, the tendon changing stage, and the marrow cleaving stage.
The prenatal martial artist then divides into two stages: the grandmaster and the venerable one.
…
Qin Po shakes his head forcibly, his mind in a daze. He opens his eyes wide to take in his surroundings, his face as if he's seen a ghost.
What is this place, how did I end up here?
The shabby cabin leaks wind from all sides, and within it, there isn't a single decent piece of furniture. Some straw is piled up in the corner, seemingly someone's makeshift bed.
Is this place fit for humans to inhabit?
Qin Po clearly remembers attending the gathering of the twelve emperors of the middle three-thousand realms, where he drank to his heart's content with the other eleven emperors. After three cups of wine, his mind became blurry, and then he lost consciousness.
Crap!
Qin Po, who has faced countless dangers in his life, instantly realizes he has fallen into a trap.
Who had conspired against him and why were they doing this?
In Qin Po's mind, the images of the other eleven emperors emerged.
The ruler of destruction, Emperor Qin Po, lives in the Middle Three Thousand Realms, along with eleven other emperors who are immortal cultivators, known collectively as the Twelve Emperors of the Middle Three Thousand Realms.
A few days ago, Emperor Dongyang, Fan Zhengyang, initiated a gathering of the Twelve Emperors and invited Qin Po to attend.
At the gathering, Fan Zhengyang offered him three cups of liquor. After Qin Po drank these three cups, he fell into a deep drunkenness.
"Fan Zhengyang! You bastard, how dare you plot against me, watch me kill you!" Qin Po roared in his anger.
Without a doubt, it was Fan Zhengyang who had ambushed him.
As for the specific reason, Qin Po doesn't even need to think to confirm it, isn't it because of Phoenix Dance Empress, Feng Jiu Tian? Among the twelve emperors, Feng Jiu Tian was the only woman, not only was her cultivation profound and inscrutable, but she was also the most beautiful woman in the Middle Three Thousand Realms that outshined all others.
"Hmph! Just because of jealousy, you would turn against a good brother of many years. Well done Fan Zhengyang! Just you wait for me, once I leave this damned place, watch how I'm going to deal with you!" Qin Po was so angry he was hopping mad.
"Why has my voice changed, what on earth has happened!" Qin Po was horrified to discover that his voice, instead of being the deep voice of a middle-aged man, had become a youthful voice with a hint of immaturity.
Just as he was recalling the specific details of the gathering, a surge of information flooded into his mind.
This information left Qin Po reeling as if struck by thunder, he was actually dead, his consciousness spanning the boundless void, reincarnating into a teenager with the same name. This sixteen-year-old boy had just died in a fit of rage, and he took possession of his body and was reborn!
Could there be anything more unacceptable than this?
Qin Po stood there stunned on the spot.
After an unknown amount of time, a yelling came from outside, "Qin Po! Are you dead or not, if you're not dead, get out here!"
Immediately after, there was a bang, it seemed like something had been kicked and shattered outside.
Frustrated and having no way to vent his anger, Qin Po, hearing the yelling from outside, subconsciously assumed someone was cursing at him.
"That blind, good-for-nothing scoundrel, daring to provoke me at this moment!" Qin Po cursed under his breath as he walked out.
In the midst of three thousand worlds, Qin Po was known for his explosive temper, often blowing up and fighting at the slightest provocation, sometimes threatening to annihilate entire families with just a few words. Hence, he was called the Emperor of Annihilation.
Exiting his small house, he stepped out into a modest courtyard.
A young man stood at the entrance of the yard, with fragments of the gate scattered all around, creating an untidy mess.
Sudden unfamiliar memories flooded his mind, quickly matching up with this young man. Qin Po recognized him as Qin Zheng, a fourth-level body practitioner who bullied him often.
"Qin Po! How dare you! You received your regular wages but didn't deliver them to our third brother Qin Yu, forcing me to come personally, are you tired of living?!" Qin Zheng cursed as soon as he saw Qin Po.
Pointing at Qin Po's nose, he sneered, "Do you still see yourself as the core disciple from three years ago?! Let me remind you, after half a month during the family assessment, you'll be stripped of your core disciple status. With your pathetic third-level body practitioner abilities, get ready to become a servant in the outer door!"
Hearing Qin Zheng's words, Qin Po was taken aback, only then recalling the information in his head.
The original owner of this body, Qin Po, lived on the Haoyue Continent, in a small dominion known as the Daliang Kingdom. He lived in a place called the Eastern Sky City.
The Qin family, where Qin Po belonged, was one of the three leading families in Eastern Sky City.
Three years ago, Qin Po advanced to the sixth level of body practitioner at the early age of thirteen, shocking everyone and earning the title of an unparalleled genius who only appears once in a hundred years. He became a core disciple of the Qin family.
Yet, during the past three years, not only had his cultivation not improved, but it plummeted drastically from the sixth level to the third.
From that moment on, Qin Po was destined to no longer have the status of a core disciple, transforming into a waste who was ridiculed by everyone.
"What are you staring at?! Even if your damned father was alive, he wouldn't have been able to preserve your status, let alone now that he has been dead for more than a year. Who can protect you now!"
Qin Zheng stretched out his hand, "Be sensible and hand it over voluntarily. Don't make me get my hands dirty!"
"What are you talking about?" Qin Po had just reincarnated into this body and had not yet fully accepted this identity change; he is clueless about what Qin Zheng wants from him.
"Are you kidding me? Of course, it's this month's agreed-on money! More than a year of rule doesn't seem to teach you anything!" Qin Zheng was irritated and reached out to grab Qin Po’s collar.
In a battle between someone at the fourth level of the Body Refining Realm and someone at the third, there was no doubt that Qin Zheng could easily subdue Qin Po.
Moreover, for the past year, Qin Po had been honest and never dared to fight back, so Qin Zheng hadn't given it much thought.
However, to his surprise, Qin Po actually slapped his hand away.
"You dare to hit me!" Qin Zheng couldn't believe it, staring in surprise at Qin Po.
More surprisingly, was Qin Po.
As the distinguished Emperor of Destruction, a lofty cultivator, a peak practitioner of the God Transformation Realm, with just a slap, he managed to push away Qin Zheng's hand, but did not kill him.
Something was not right!
Qin Po quickly operated his spiritual knowledge to check his own situation.
On looking, Qin Po was instantly shocked to his core.
Why was his cultivation level in the God Transformation Realm now at the first level of the Qi Gathering Realm?
Different from the division of the martial artist's cultivation realm, the cultivator's realm starts from the lowest Qi Gathering Realm, and the ascending order is Qi Refining Realm, Foundation Building Realm, Gold Core Realm, Nascent Soul Realm, and God Transformation Realm.
Qin Po was a peak practitioner at the ninth level of the God Transformation Realm, just a step away from breaking through to the semi-immortal level. As for what the higher realm was, Qin Po's exposure level was not sufficient, and he was not very clear. According to his judgment, above semi-immortal, should be the real immortal.
From the peak of the God Transformation Realm to the beginner’s first level of the Qi Gathering Realm was like falling from heaven into hell.
This shocking twist left Qin Po stunned for a moment.
