Slaying Demons to Seize Cultivation

In a chaotic era overrun by demons, human lives are worthless. Yang Ling awakens as a low-ranking constable in the county yamen, only to face a man-eating dog demon rampaging through the office. The beast demands three fresh hearts from ten-year-old children before it will leave. While the magistrate grovels to appease the monster, the female head constable watches coldly, and terrified colleagues beg for compliance to avoid provoking the powerful Great Demon of the Western Ridge Mystic Realm, Yang Ling simply draws his blade and kills the creature. This decisive act awakens the Demon-Slaying System, allowing him to plunder cultivation bases and deduce supreme martial arts by exterminating evil. Thus begins the rise of a ruthless executioner who shows no mercy to man-eating fiends, determined to protect the common people by building a path over the bones of countless demons. His techniques evolve rapidly, advancing from Stone Skin Golden Body to Indestructible Golden Body, and eventually to the heaven-spanning Law of Heaven and Earth. Despite his growing power, those around him remain blinded by fear. The magistrate furiously condemns him for inviting catastrophe upon the city, and the aloof female constable believes he is courting death. Unfazed by their warnings, Yang Ling finds himself puzzled by only one thing: why hasn't the Great Demon of the Western Ridge come to seek revenge yet?
