Jason Ji's gaze was sharp, fixed on the battered armor of the Netherworld Ghost King. Just ten more strikes, maybe even less, would shatter this so-called invincible shell.
First strike…
Second strike…
…
Seventh…
Eighth…
Ninth…
Just as he was about to land the final, decisive blow to destroy the Ghost King's armor, Jason unexpectedly withdrew his sword, retreating three steps using the Eight Steps of the Celestial Demon.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Furious roars filled with venomous rage echoed from within the armor as the black flames flickered and faded. The Ghost King raised his head, his hollow eyes now completely consumed by dark, malevolent flames.
Jason watched him calmly, his clear eyes unflinching, even as the Ghost King prepared to unleash his full power. The faintest trace of crimson-gold light began to shimmer on the blade of the Immortal Slayer Sword in Jason's hand.
"Worthless pest! I'll drag you into eternal damnation!" the Ghost King howled, black flames surging around him. Behind him, a towering ancient demon materialized, its body blazing with black fire, crowned with horns, and bearing eight wings. As this demonic avatar descended, the entire domain shattered, with cracks spreading across the ground and black lightning tearing through the air.
Jason remained calm, as if he had anticipated this display of power. He gripped the hilt of the Immortal Slayer Sword firmly, pointing its tip downward, and assumed a poised stance, gathering an invisible, awe-inspiring energy around him. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from sight, reappearing above, suspended in the void, his clear gaze meeting the hollow eyes of the demon.
Scarlet arcs of lightning danced around Jason, and a golden radiance filled his eyes. With both hands on the sword, he traced an arc in the air, murmuring as if in a trance, "Sovereign… of… All."
These four words, though softly spoken, seemed to reverberate with an otherworldly power that sent a chill down the Ghost King's spine.
The instant Jason's voice fell, a vast, icy, and unstoppable force enveloped him, radiating a sovereignty that dominated the heavens and covered the entire Ghost King's Domain. Under this pressure, the Ghost King realized in horror that he could no longer move, as though his body had been frozen in place.
Jason's golden eyes locked onto the demonic figure, which dared not meet his gaze. Jason lifted his sword high, crimson lightning flowing along the blade, its tip glowing with a golden hue like the dawn sun.
Extinguish!
Jason's cold command echoed as the Immortal Slayer Sword slashed downward, lightning enveloping the demon like chains. The demon twisted and resisted, black flames raging, but as the sword descended, an overwhelming golden light erupted, halting the world in place. Crimson lightning and thunder exploded, shattering the demon's armor.
In an earth-shaking explosion, the golden radiance illuminated the heavens as the demon was obliterated, along with the Ghost King who had summoned it. Golden rain filled the sky, cascading like divine fire.
Jason, exhausted from unleashing this final blow, felt his energy drain completely. His Divine Restriction Domain dissipated, and he collapsed to the ground, too weak to move. Yet, his eyes sparkled with awe at the power of Sovereign of All. Its destructive might was beyond even his expectations—a technique that could truly level mountains.
Truly, it was worthy of being a part of the Immortal Slayer Sword's techniques. If only his abilities were stronger, he might wield it more often. For now, using it once a day would leave him drained, needing an entire day to recover.
Just as he was contemplating this limitation, a series of system notifications echoed in his mind:
Ding! Congratulations, Host Jason Ji, for defeating the Netherworld Ghost King and seizing the protagonist's fate. Destiny Points +800.
Ding! Congratulations, Host Jason Ji, for obtaining the Netherworld Ghostfire, seizing the protagonist's opportunity. Destiny Points +800.
Ding! Congratulations, Host Jason Ji, for advancing to the Star Condensation Two-Star level.
Ding! Congratulations, Host Jason Ji, for advancing to the Star Condensation Three-Star level.
…
Ding! Congratulations, Host Jason Ji, for advancing to the Star Condensation Seven-Star level.
Ding! System Store unlocked.
Jason was stunned by the series of notifications. While he'd expected some progress after slaying the Legendary Ghost King, he hadn't anticipated advancing all the way to the Star Condensation Seven-Star level—a leap of six minor stages!
Moreover, it seemed that capturing the protagonist's destiny truly did grant additional Destiny Points. A faint smile played at Jason's lips. Perhaps, beyond just becoming the husband of the villainess, he could take on the role of an epic villain himself.
