Mount Hu 852

Psychopath and hedonist, Linfer, known as the Bloody Devil, plunged humanity into Armageddon. His strength was so devastating that it shook even the most powerful beings of his time. But his impulsiveness and his rage to devour everything in his path eventually drew the attention of the Tao Tree, the governing entity of the universe. He found himself transmigrated into a distant past and trapped in a body that was secretly the Devourer, the number one enemy. In a world where ancient myths and legends were daily reality, the chaos he embodies cannot be suppressed so easily. ... "Young Master Hu! The Devourer has left traces in a kingdom of the Lower Realm!" Bai She slowly opened his eyes, his silver pupils reflecting an unsettling glow. "Gather the inner disciples," he commanded. "As servants of the Tao, we must purge this evil, even if it means sacrificing ourselves." The disciples exchanged admiring glances, some whispering among themselves: "The younger generation is truly fortunate to have you, Young Master Hu." A slight smile lit up Bai She’s face. **** #romance #Smut #manipulation #evilMC #gore #r18 #mythology #cultivation #Harem

Una Nueva Galaxia completamente fuera de su más salvaje imaginación. Un nuevo tipo de energía cósmica conocida como Mana invadió la Tierra, transformando su misma esencia mientras el mundo presenciaba cómo su norma regular se hacía añicos. La energía cósmica entró en el cuerpo humano mientras despertaba a la fuerza nuevos genes en ellos que una vez se pensaron que eran un mito. Las reglas del mundo fueron cambiadas a la fuerza convirtiéndose en un lugar donde sólo importaba volverse más fuerte y sólo aquellos con los genes más poderosos eran dignos de respeto.

Arrojado a un montón de cuerpos muertos que fueron considerados fracasos experimentales y la vida se escapaba lentamente de él. Zeras apretó los dientes con fuerza mientras un loco gusto por la venganza centelleaba en la profundidad de sus ojos, pero también con un matiz de impotencia. Eso fue hasta que... —Felicidades. —Huésped ha sido bendecido por el Caos. —Huésped ha despertado con éxito el Gen Devorador de Caos de grado SSS. Armado con un Gen de grado SSS y una voluntad inquebrantable de venganza. Zeras se embarcó en un camino para convertirse en el más fuerte y dominar el ilimitado universo.

Pero esos ojos, no, no podrían llamarse así... En lugar de eso, eran un agujero negro sin fin de... —Veo Muerte, Locura, Dolor, Y... —Sí, Soy La Última Encarnación del Caos... -- -- -- Calendario de Actualizaciones: Actualización diaria.
