"Ye Wuji, even if I die, I'm taking you to Hell with me!"

In a bright and clean hospital room, Tang Yi roared as he rose from the bed.

"What's going on? Didn't I perish together with the Immortal Emperor Ye Wuji?" Tang Yi looked around, his face full of shock.

Tang Yi clearly remembered that, to avenge his master Fairy Luo Xia, he had risked self-destruction to take down Ye Wuji with him.

Ye Wuji, known as the number one genius in the Cultivation World, had become an Immortal Emperor in just a millennium, suppressing the entire Cultivation World with his power alone.

On the day Ye Wuji became an Immortal Emperor, he also issued a decree to select an empress for himself.

Ultimately, out of millions of female cultivators, Ye Wuji decided on his Empress, who was none other than the number one beauty of the Cultivation World—Fairy Luo Xia.

Tang Yi, who was traveling abroad seeking a breakthrough, rushed to the Tai Xu Immortal Palace where Ye Wuji resided upon receiving the news, only to coincide with Ye Wuji's wedding to Fairy Luo Xia.

After slaying countless formidable characters, the blood-soaked Tang Yi stood before Ye Wuji and simultaneously laid eyes on the body of Fairy Luo Xia.

Fairy Luo Xia did not love Ye Wuji, yet she was powerless against him. In order to protect her chastity, she had no choice but to end her own life.

Looking at Luo Xia's peerlessly beautiful yet lifeless face, Tang Yi felt not only heartache but also an endless fury burning within him.

Even though he knew he was no match, Tang Yi did not retreat one bit and chose to self-destruct rather than let Ye Wuji live.

...

"This place is... Earth!" As he observed the familiar furnishings and decorations around him, Tang Yi's eyes were filled with disbelief.

"That's not right! I left Earth more than five hundred years ago. Given Earth's rate of technological development, these things should have become antiques long ago. How could they still be in use!"

"Unless..."

At that moment, on the television in the hospital room, a beautiful female news anchor appeared on the screen and said sweetly, "Dear viewers, the sports complex behind me is 'Honeycomb'. Half a month ago, the first-ever Xuanyun Meeting hosted by Xuan Country was successfully concluded right here, and our athletes have achieved glorious victories. Next, please follow me into the Honeycomb..."

The first Xuanyun Meeting hosted by Xuan Country took place in the year 5008.

"Who would have thought, not only did I not die, I've actually been reborn five hundred years in the past!" With that thought, Tang Yi was instantly overjoyed: "This means Master hasn't died either, or rather, at this point in time, she's still traveling the cosmos!

It will be another ten years before she passes by Earth when I'll be able to see her again!"

Fairy Luo Xia was not only Tang Yi's master but also his lifesaver, and she had given him a second lease on life.

Tang Yi was born in a country on Earth called Xuan Country, and his family was from Xuan Country's Xuan Nan region—a famously influential noble family of the Du Family.

Although Tang Yi was born into a noble family, he was not like those rich second generation children, and he was even worse off than ordinary people because he was an illegitimate child.

In Xuan Country, illegitimate children have always been looked down upon since ancient times. For the Du Family, with its long family history, an illegitimate child like Tang Yi was even more unwelcome.

Tang Yi was brought to the Du Family when he was only four or five years old, yet even at such a young age, he could already feel the disgust and hatred that the Du Family had for him.

From his childhood to adulthood, the Du Family would either beat or scold him, and even any servant could point at his nose, call him trash, and shout at him as a bastard.

It wasn't until he turned eighteen that year and had been admitted to Shanghai University that he could finally leave the Du Family, leave the hell that had tormented him for over a decade.

However, fate seemed to take pleasure in toying with Tang Yi, as just when he had barely been at Shanghai University for a year, his fortunes took a drastic downturn.

Because he offended someone he simply could not afford to offend, Bai Shaochen.

Although the Du Family was a powerful noble family in the Xuan South District, the Bai Family, that was entrenched in Jinchen City, could easily crush the Du Family as if they were no more than an ant.

Bai Shaochen was appointed heir of his family from the moment he was born, destined to become a dragon among men.

And Tang Yi was nothing but a bastard who wasn't even welcomed by the Du Family. Compared to Bai Shaochen, he was like a chick facing a peacock, only able to look up and admire the other's beauty and nobility, while the other would never deign to even glance at him.

But what Bai Shaochen never expected was that he would actually lose to Tang Yi, and even his fiancée, Mo Qingxue, was stolen by Tang Yi!

Just as Tang Yi confessed his love to Mo Qingxue in front of all the teachers and students at the school and successfully captured her heart, Bai Shaochen harbored the intent to kill Tang Yi.

Thereafter, Tang Yi's fate plunged into an abyss, with both his academic and career achievements destroyed, until eventually even Mo Qingxue left him.

"I know, Qingxue left me in order to save me, because Bai Shaochen had promised her that as long as she left me, he would let me go!"

"But Bai Shaochen broke his promise!" Tang Yi laughed bitterly, "After Qingxue left me, Bai Shaochen instead intensified his efforts!"

"Not only did he send someone to break my hands and feet, turning me into a cripple, but to eradicate my last shred of dignity, he even brought me directly to the place where he and Qingxue were getting married!"

"That day, in front of everyone, Bai Shaochen declared himself the ultimate victor, while I became nothing but a loser who chose to end his own life!"

"Haha!" A fierce light flashed in Tang Yi's eyes, "But Bai Shaochen, I'm afraid you would never have imagined that Fairy Luo Xia just happened to pass by Earth that day, saved me, and took me as her disciple, passing on her supreme Divine Skills to me!"

"Oh! That's right, I remember now, the reason I'm hospitalized this time is because I was injured by a few thugs, and I'm afraid this account should also be added to your tab, shouldn't it?"

"Bai Shaochen, how should I thank you?" Tang Yi said with a sneer that wasn't quite a smile, as he got up from the hospital bed and walked slowly to the window, looking at the tall buildings outside the window.

"In return, I will give back to you exactly as you did to me in the previous life, strip everything from you, and knock you down from your lofty clouds onto the dirt!"

"I will return all the humiliations I once suffered to you, and let you, Young Master Bai, also taste the flavor of a loser!"

At the same time, Tang Yi slowly raised his head, gazing at the sky, his eyes narrowing as if he was trying to see through the heavens to the hidden Tai Xu Immortal Palace in the cosmos.

"And Ye Wuji, by now you have probably started to make a name for yourself in the Tai Xu Immortal Palace, haven't you?"

"You, who are known as the number one genius of the Cultivation World, took a thousand years to become an Immortal Emperor, while I only took five hundred years to become an Immortal Venerable, even having one foot stepping into the Immortal Emperor Realm!"

"No need to rush, we will meet very soon, and then I will let you see what a true genius is!"
