Villainous Ascension: Path of the Demonic Sovereign
By @Shashi Raj
After the cataclysmic Dark Era, the Three Thousand Dao Continent yearns for stability, yet peace remains an elusive dream. Amidst the ashes of ancient powers, a new threat stirs, embodied by the enigmatic Lin Xiao. Gifted—or perhaps cursed—with a potent Villain System, Lin Xiao is set on a path of unprecedented power, but at a terrible cost. Unlike the righteous cultivators striving for Foundation and Nascent Soul through conventional Qi, Lin Xiao delves into forbidden Demonic cultivation, a technique promising fast cultivation but notorious for its corrupting influence. His mysterious aura hides a singular ambition: to dominate the cultivation world, not as a hero, but as the ultimate antagonist, forcing the continent to bend to his will. The system demands acts of villainy, pushing him to defy all established norms and create an empire built on shadow. Can he navigate the treacherous path to Dao Transformation and beyond, becoming the ultimate sovereign, or will the darkness consume him entirely?

The devil heart of martial arts
By @Neiyr
Since the time of the Gods and the death of the Demon King, demonic martial arts have vanished and are considered a legend. This is what young Li Mao believed until he discovered a hidden cave from which he unearthed not only forgotten demonic scriptures, but also the Demon Heart—an artifact that grafts itself onto his very soul. To survive its parasitic grip and progress in martial arts, Li Mao is forced to devour the souls of others, absorbing their unique traits. Each soul consumed pushes him further down a path of no return, distancing him from humanity and the virtuous cultivators. Hunted by those who preserve the world's pristine facade, Li Mao must master his terrifying new powers while battling an insatiable hunger in order to survive in a world determined to annihilate him.
