Old Devil Lu Disrupts My Dao Heart

"Slash, slash again!"

"Blocking the poison zone, huh? Still blocking it?! How about now?!"

Mu Yawen and Zhou Yue fought with reckless abandon, utterly exhilarated.

After struggling to reach the edge of the safe zone, they were ambushed by a group of sneaky campers?

This infuriated them beyond measure.

Fortunately, the three opponents weren’t skilled enough, allowing Zhong Yi and his team to break through into the safe zone, triggering an intense battle.

After a desperate struggle, Zhong Yi, Zhou Yue, and Mu Yawen were left in rough shape.

But in the end, their enemies fared even worse.

Temuer and Yoto-hime had already turned into Soul Tombs, leaving only a lone JiNian to endure the trio’s relentless beating.

The JiNian player’s health was hanging by a thread, just one hit away from defeat.

"Kill!!!"

Zhou Yue raised his Tang Blade, certain of victory.

"Hahaha! You think you can 1v3 and turn this around?"

Zhong Yi laughed heartily, taking a subtle step back.

A faint blue aura began condensing around him.

While passing by the enemy’s Soul Tomb earlier, he had been drawn to a golden glow inside—snatching a purple longsword and a golden Souljade: [Phoenix Feather].

A golden skill Souljade—this was his first time seeing one.

Rumored to split the sword’s charged energy slash into two separate strikes!

With victory assured, Zhong Yi decided to end the fight in the most stylish way possible.

"Ha!"

With a sharp cry, two golden sword beams shot from the blade’s edge.

But at that very moment, JiNian instinctively crossed her spear in front of her chest, a red glow rising from her dantian.

Parry!

Clang!

The two sword beams were violently deflected back.

Mu Yawen and Zhou Yue, who had just raised their weapons, along with Zhong Yi, who was mid-sheathe, were all caught off guard—stunned by the rebounding slashes.

"???"

Under their shocked gazes, JiNian’s body became enveloped in golden light.

The execution move after a successful parry—Dragon’s Wrath!

Swish!

JiNian lunged forward, skewering all three in a straight line before spinning her spear wildly, battering them relentlessly.

Already at half health, the trio took the full brunt of the rebounded slashes, followed by a devastating Dragon’s Wrath—instantly wiping them out.

"Whoa, Senior Brother Zhong, how can her spear shoot sword beams?!"

"...No idea."

"Damn it, Zhong! Even if you’d just stood there doing nothing, we’d have won!!!"

……

……

Less than three hours after its release, Naraka: Bladepoint had exploded in popularity.

Even Immortal vs. Demon, the long-reigning champion, was facing an unprecedented challenge.

No surprise there.

The battle royale + xianxia fusion was tailor-made for cultivators’ tastes.

And its mechanics—

Combat mind games, shrinking poison zones, scavenging for gear and armor, airdrops…

How could cultivators resist such fresh and thrilling gameplay?

One match was all it took to get hooked!

The Naraka forums were already ablaze with activity.

[Celestial City, 2/3, need a Sand Sage!]

[Ugh, so many campers already… Lu the Demon ruined the meta!]

[This illusion realm is insane… Lu the Demon’s a freaking genius!]

[Compared to this, Illusion Alliance’s stuff is pure garbage.]

[Fellow Daoists, explain this—why would anyone play Yoto-hime as her original character?? Psychological warfare! The trauma is real!]

[Ah, a fellow connoisseur of pale beauty.]

[Can’t bring myself to hit female characters using their original looks… Lu the Demon is corrupting my Dao heart!]

[Is it just me, or are more and more Daoists cross-dressing in-game?]

[Ning Hongye, Sand Sage, Tianhai Grandmaster—try them and you’ll see!]

[I don’t care, Hotaru is the best.]

[Help: Why do enemies always focus-fire me when I play Hotaru?]

……

……

Naraka: Bladepoint had undeniably become the cultivators’ ultimate playground.

In just one day, it showed signs of overtaking Immortal vs. Demon.

Unlike other illusion realms, Naraka had one key advantage—

Not only did young disciples love it, even sect elders were getting addicted!

Even the most stubborn traditionalists, who once scoffed at illusion realms, were slowly converting.

Lu Ze could see the shift in his Demonic Value gains.

Single-digit increases had become rare—now, jumps of 7-8 points, even double digits, were happening more and more frequently.

Watching the soaring numbers in his system log, Lu Ze smirked. "Now, if only sect masters of that caliber could fall into the trap…"

……

……

Lingxiao Sect, forbidden grounds.

As usual, the sect master’s body cycled cultivation techniques, seeking a breakthrough.

Meanwhile, his divine consciousness lingered in an illusion realm, absorbing purified spiritual energy.

The realm? Still Minecraft.

An elder from the Tianxuan Sect had once hinted that remnants of the Heavenly Dao resided within Minecraft.

He wasn’t here for entertainment—only to seek the Dao’s secrets.

Alas, success eluded him.

Still, the realm’s spiritual energy was purer than the outside world, so he’d grown accustomed to cultivating this way.

Just as he meditated inside his cobblestone hut, a forced pop-up materialized before him.

[Naraka: Bladepoint launches today! Unbound by flesh, infinite in Dao! Click to enter the battlefield~]

The sect master frowned, flicking the pop-up into oblivion.

"‘Unbound by flesh, infinite in Dao’? Hmph. These realms grow more gimmicky by the day."

He scoffed, utterly uninterested.

All he cared about was cultivation and absorbing energy.

The setting didn’t matter.

As for battling inside an illusion realm—

And against juniors, no less?

No interest.

None whatsoever.

Yet moments later, another pop-up appeared.

[SHOCKING: Multiple cultivators from the Five Great Sects attain enlightenment in Naraka: Bladepoint! The Heavenly Dao’s secrets lie within… (Click to join)]

"!!!!"

The sect master jolted upright and clicked instantly.

This was a specially crafted pop-up by Lu Ze—clicking it triggered an automatic Naraka download.

Soon, the pixelated block world dissolved.

After a dizzying swirl of light, his surroundings morphed into the jungles of Holoroth.

The sect master blinked, muttering to himself:

"Something tells me…"

"I’ve been tricked…"
