Ghostly Blessing

In my previous life, I was half a move short and ultimately failed to reach the summit.
Having traveled back to the past, this time... I want to become the strongest in this world!
To become the strongest in this world, one only needs three simple steps:
1. Pick up a newly-transferred Demonic Sect Enchantress off the streets.
2. Subdue and vanquish the demon.
3. Take her cultivation technique for myself.
Awesome! I'm already invincible!

Years later, Yan Yu, who had earned the title of "the strongest," was interviewed on television:
Host: To whom do you want to give thanks for your success today?
Yan Yu: I'd like to thank a very important woman to me.
Host (eyes lighting up): Oh, is she your wise and virtuous wife?
Yan Yu: No, consider her a stepping stone, I suppose.
Host (wiping sweat): Then... what about the other members of your team? They must have helped you as well, right?
Yan Yu: ... How could there possibly be only one stepping stone on the path to godhood?

Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

The tree demon, towering over ten meters high, finally collapsed to the ground with a thunderous crash under the combined attack of the fully charged Impact Curses.


This tree demon had withstood three rounds of combined attacks in total, truly tough as nails—had it been a human cultivator, two or three Impact Curses would have blown their head apart.


But what could it do? The consequence of undeveloped intelligence was that, like a beast that had escaped from the zoo, it was killed by humans using simple encirclement tactics.


Three military cultivators quickly approached, both to confirm whether the enemy was truly dead and to prevent any feigned death and counterattack from the tree demon.


The result of the inspection was satisfactory: it seemed to be dead.


The last round of Metal-Element Impact Curse attacks had pierced into the heart of the tree, delivering the fatal blow.


"Sorry." Su Yunjin approached Yan Yu and whispered, "I got scared just now and didn't react properly."
