《999 Wives: The Greatest Harem King Breaks Through a Realm Every Second》 1. The Path of a Playboy Supreme A soft breeze brushed against Souta¡¯s skin. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on a vast, grassy plain. The sky was clearer than anything he had ever seen before, dotted with floating islands and streaks of light where cultivators soared. He sat up slowly, rubbing his head. ¡°Where¡­ am I?¡± Before he could even process the absurdity of the situation, a calm, mechanical voice echoed in his mind. [Welcome, Host. You have been chosen by the Heavens.] A glowing screen appeared before him, displaying a single message: [Congratulations! You have acquired the unique ability: **One Breakthrough Per Second.**] Souta blinked. ¡°Huh?¡± Then, his body trembled. A warm, intoxicating energy filled his veins, surging through every inch of his being. [Qi Condensation Realm achieved.] [Foundation Establishment Realm achieved.] [Golden Core Realm achieved.] He barely had time to react before the voice continued. [Nascent Soul Realm achieved.] [Spirit King Realm achieved.] [Divine Transformation Realm achieved.] His body pulsed with supreme being like strength. His senses sharpened. He felt like he could lift mountains, crush rivers, and obliterate armies with a single glance. The wind around him trembled. The sky itself seemed to react to his presence. ¡°¡­Holy shit.¡± He had done nothing. Not a single second of training, not a drop of effort¡ªyet he had already surpassed what should take geniuses thousands of years to accomplish. He looked down at his hands. The power rushing through him was intoxicating. It was overwhelming. It was¡­ ¡°¡­kind of boring.¡± Sure, being absurdly strong was nice. But was there any excitement in it? If no one could challenge him, what was the fun? Then, he heard voices. Soft, feminine voices. He turned his head and saw them. A group of beautiful female cultivators stood not too far away, staring at him in shock. Dressed in elegant robes, their figures were exquisite, their features flawless. More importantly, they were looking at him with awe and curiosity. Souta¡¯s lips curled into a grin. ¡°Ladies,¡± he said smoothly, brushing imaginary dust from his sleeve. ¡°Why don¡¯t we get to know each other?¡± --- The women gasped as Souta took a step forward, his aura rippling like a tidal wave. The ground beneath him cracked, unable to withstand the sheer force of his existence. ¡°W-Who are you?¡± one of them stammered, her delicate fingers trembling as she clutched the hilt of her sword. Souta smirked. ¡°Just a traveler passing through.¡± His words were casual, but the sheer pressure he exuded was anything but. The women felt as if a divine being had descended before them. Even their sect elders didn¡¯t possess such an overwhelming presence. One of the more composed women, a tall beauty with icy blue eyes, narrowed her gaze. ¡°No ordinary traveler possesses such strength.¡± Souta chuckled, raising his hand. A single flick of his fingers sent a shockwave through the air, flattening an entire patch of forest behind them. The sheer ease with which he displayed such power left them breathless. One of the younger women swallowed hard, her cheeks turning red. ¡°He¡¯s¡­ so strong¡­¡± Souta stepped closer, his golden eyes gleaming with amusement. ¡°Now then, ladies, I could use some guidance in this world. Perhaps you could¡­ accompany me?¡± Some of them instinctively took a step back, wary of his overwhelming aura, but others hesitated, unable to tear their eyes away from the man who had effortlessly demonstrated supreme being like strength. The icy-eyed beauty finally spoke. ¡°Very well. If you truly seek guidance, we shall take you to our sect.¡± Souta¡¯s grin widened. ¡°Perfect. I do hope your sect has many beauties waiting to greet me.¡± --- Souta followed the women toward a grand sect gate, standing tall with shimmering runes etched into its structure. Beyond it, he could see mountains filled with floating palaces and training grounds bustling with cultivators. [Heavenly Jade Sect detected.] As they walked, his power continued to rise. [Sky Emperor Realm achieved.] [Void Monarch Realm achieved.] [Celestial Saint Realm achieved.] The icy-eyed woman noticed the subtle ripples in the air around him. ¡°Your aura keeps growing¡­ What kind of monster are you?¡± Souta smirked. ¡°The fun kind.¡± As they entered the sect, disciples stopped in their tracks, their eyes widening at the powerful, otherworldly presence he radiated. Some of them trembled instinctively. Others kinda enjoyed it..... --- The Heavenly Jade Sect had never been this quiet before. Disciples froze in their tracks as Souta leisurely walked through their sacred grounds, his aura spreading like an unseen storm. With each step, the earth beneath him cracked slightly. The very air trembled. He was beyond what this world could comprehend. [Celestial Overlord Realm achieved.] [Divine Emperor Realm achieved.] [Ethereal Overlord Realm achieved.] The beautiful female cultivators who had escorted him before were now unable to move, overwhelmed by his presence. Even the elders, the so-called untouchable masters of the sect, had gathered, staring in horror and disbelief. ¡°He¡¯s¡­ growing stronger every second,¡± one of the Grand Elders whispered, his voice trembling. ¡°Impossible¡­ This defies all logic!¡± Souta chuckled. ¡°Logic? That¡¯s a cute concept.¡± He lazily raised a hand, and a gust of wind swept through the sect. Instantly, several buildings trembled, and even the protective formations flickered. He wasn¡¯t even trying, yet his mere existence was enough to shake the foundations of a top-tier sect. A young woman, dressed in white robes, gulped. ¡°Is he¡­ a supreme being?¡± Souta smirked. ¡°A supreme being? No, I¡¯m just a man with simple desires.¡± His eyes gleamed mischievously as he scanned the sect¡¯s countless female disciples. ¡°And right now, I feel like making some new friends.¡± The sect¡¯s headmaster, an old yet dignified man, stepped forward. ¡°Young man! You may be powerful, but this is the Heavenly Jade Sect. You cannot simply do as you please!¡± Souta raised an eyebrow. ¡°Oh? And what exactly are you going to do about it?¡± This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. The headmaster¡¯s face darkened. He wasn¡¯t a fool. He could sense that this man¡¯s strength had already surpassed the mortal plane. But the dignity of the sect had to be maintained. ¡°Even if you are powerful, you must abide by our rules¡ª¡± Souta snapped his fingers. *BOOM!* A colossal shockwave erupted from his body, sending an invisible pressure crashing down on the entire sect. The skies darkened. The mountains trembled. Disciples fell to their knees, unable to withstand the sheer force of his presence. The headmaster himself staggered, cold sweat forming on his forehead. ¡°You¡­!¡± Souta sighed, flexing his fingers. ¡°I could wipe out this entire sect with a thought. But¡­¡± His gaze shifted toward the trembling beauties in the crowd, their eyes locked onto him with a mixture of fear and admiration. ¡°That would be a waste.¡± He turned back to the headmaster. ¡°Tell you what. I¡¯ll let your sect exist¡­ on one condition.¡± The headmaster gritted his teeth. ¡°What condition?¡± Souta grinned. ¡°I¡¯ll be staying here. And every beautiful disciple you have¡­ belongs to me.¡± Gasps erupted throughout the sect. Some were outraged, some were stunned¡­ and some, particularly the young female disciples, blushed as they sneaked glances at the overwhelmingly dominant man before them. The headmaster trembled in fury. ¡°You¡ª¡± Souta raised his hand, and the very sky split apart. A golden divine aura erupted, shaking the heavens. It was a clear message: *resist, and face annihilation.* The headmaster fell silent. The elders exchanged nervous glances. And then, one of the female disciples, a striking beauty with long black hair and piercing violet eyes, stepped forward. She was the number one genius of the sect, the Ice Phoenix Fairy, known for her cold demeanor. ¡°I¡­ will accept,¡± she said, her voice barely above a whisper. The sect gasped again. Souta smirked. ¡°Smart girl.¡± Another disciple hesitated, then stepped forward. ¡°Me too¡­¡± One by one, more girls followed, their resistance crumbling before his sheer might. Soon, dozens of sect beauties stood before him, their faces flushed with a strange mix of awe and surrender. The headmaster sighed in defeat. There was no stopping this monster. Souta stretched, yawning. ¡°Good. Now, ladies, let¡¯s get to know each other better, shall we?¡± --- Souta walked through the Heavenly Jade Sect like he owned the place. Technically, he didn¡¯t¡ªbut who was going to stop him? Every step he took sent ripples through the air. The sect disciples, both male and female, turned to stare. The men felt suffocated by his aura, while the women¡­ well, their reactions were much more enjoyable. Some bit their lips, some blushed, and a few bold ones whispered among themselves. "Who is he?" "A new disciple? No, that pressure¡­ he''s beyond an elder!" "I¡¯ve never seen someone so¡­ mesmerizing." Souta smirked, soaking in the attention. It felt good to be worshiped. [Supreme Ascendant Realm achieved.] [Void Sovereign Realm achieved.] [Ethereal Saint Realm achieved.] The mechanical voice continued its announcements in his head, but he barely paid attention. He had already reached a level where no one in this sect¡ªpossibly this world¡ªcould challenge him. A familiar icy voice cut through the murmurs. "You are attracting too much attention," said the cold beauty, Yue Lian, the woman who had led him here. Her arms were crossed, her expression unreadable, but he could see it¡ªthe slight redness on her ears, the tiny flicker of uncertainty in her normally sharp eyes. She wasn¡¯t immune to him. Souta chuckled. "Oh? Should I hide myself then? Wouldn''t want to make your heart race too much." Her lips twitched. "Shameless." He took a step closer, and she stiffened. "Why so tense?" he teased. "Scared I might steal your heart?" Yue Lian scoffed, turning away. "Ridiculous. I¡ª" Before she could finish, a loud voice interrupted. "Who dares cause a commotion in my Heavenly Jade Sect?" A man in luxurious robes descended from above. His aura was strong¡ªby normal standards, at least. Golden energy rippled around him, signifying his status as a sect elder. "That¡¯s Elder Han!" someone whispered. Souta tilted his head. "And who¡¯s this?" Yue Lian spoke quietly. "One of the sect¡¯s Grand Elders. He¡¯s at the Peak of the Sky Emperor Realm." Souta yawned. "Oh. Weak." Elder Han¡¯s eyes twitched. "You! Do you have any idea where you are? This is the Heavenly Jade Sect! No outsiders are allowed to wander freely!" Souta stretched his arms lazily. "Really? And what are you going to do about it?" The elder¡¯s face darkened. "Arrogant brat!" In an instant, he attacked. A golden palm materialized in the air, descending upon Souta with the force of a collapsing mountain. The sect disciples gasped. "Elder Han used his *Heavenly Crushing Palm*!" Yue Lian¡¯s eyes widened. "Damn it! This idiot doesn¡¯t realize how strong he¡ª" But before she could warn him, Souta raised a single finger. *Tap.* The massive golden palm shattered into dust. The courtyard fell silent. Elder Han stood frozen, his mouth slightly open. "I¡ªImpossible!" Souta flicked his wrist, and an invisible force sent the old man flying like a ragdoll. He crashed into a distant pillar, coughing blood. Gasps filled the air. "He¡­ he defeated Elder Han with a flick of his hand!" "Just how strong is he?!" Souta sighed, shaking his head. "That was underwhelming." He turned to Yue Lian. "Is there anyone here who *isn¡¯t* weak?" Yue Lian was speechless. Elder Han groaned, lifting himself up. "You¡­ who are you?" Souta smirked. "The man who just made you my stepping stone." He took a step forward, and the elder flinched. "Relax, old man. I have no interest in bullying the weak." Souta turned back toward the female disciples who were still gawking at him. "Now, if you¡¯ll excuse me, I have some¡­ *introductions* to make." A few women blushed as he flashed them a charming smile. This was just the beginning. Souta had arrived, and he would leave his mark on this world¡ªone conquest at a time. --- The courtyard remained silent. The once-mighty Elder Han lay collapsed against a shattered pillar, his face pale with disbelief. Souta had defeated him with nothing but a flick of his wrist. The female disciples still stared, their gazes filled with admiration, desire, and curiosity. Souta stretched, yawning lazily. "Well, that was boring." He looked around, smirking. "Is there *anyone* in this sect that can at least entertain me for a bit?" The crowd murmured among themselves, but no one dared to step forward. [Transcendent Realm achieved.] [Immortal Sovereign Realm achieved.] [Eternal Dao Lord Realm achieved.] Souta glanced at the floating blue text. At this point, he had stopped keeping track. He was too busy admiring the view¡ªthe view of *gorgeous* women, that is. One particularly bold disciple stepped forward. She had fiery red hair and a figure that could make statues weep. Her crimson robe hugged her curves perfectly. "I am Mei Yan, an Inner Sect disciple," she said, her voice sultry. "And you¡­ are quite interesting." Souta grinned. "Oh? Are you saying that because of my strength, or because you find me handsome?" She giggled. "Why not both?" The surrounding disciples gasped. "Senior Sister Mei Yan is flirting with him?!" "That shameless rogue¡­ wait, I kinda envy him." Yue Lian, who had been watching from the side, crossed her arms, her expression unreadable. Souta noticed the way her fingers tapped against her sleeve¡ªwas she annoyed? *Interesting.* Mei Yan stepped closer, her red lips curving into a teasing smile. "Tell me, mysterious stranger, do you have a name?" Souta leaned forward slightly. "Souta Akihiro. But you, my fiery beauty, can call me anything you like." Mei Yan''s eyes gleamed. "Then I shall call you *trouble*." Souta chuckled. "I do tend to cause that, especially when it comes to beautiful women." The tension in the air shifted. It was no longer about battle or strength¡ªit was a battle of charm. The male disciples could only watch in frustration as Mei Yan openly flirted with this unknown powerhouse. A disciple whispered, "Even Senior Sister Mei Yan fell for him?" Another sighed. "This guy is dangerous in more ways than one¡­" Just as things were heating up, a powerful voice boomed from above. "ENOUGH!" A wave of pressure swept through the sect, forcing weaker disciples to their knees. Souta barely felt it, but he turned his gaze upward. Descending from the sky was an older man with flowing silver hair and robes embroidered with golden dragons. His aura burned like the sun itself. "The Sect Master!" someone gasped. Souta raised an eyebrow. *Finally, someone with a little weight to their name.* Yue Lian stepped forward, bowing. "Sect Master Qing, this man is¡ª" "I have seen enough," the Sect Master interrupted, his piercing gaze locking onto Souta. "You dare humiliate my elder, seduce my disciples, and act as if you own this place?" Souta smirked. "Oh? And what if I do?" The sect master narrowed his eyes. "You may be strong, but this is the Heavenly Jade Sect. We do not tolerate unruly behavior, no matter how powerful one may be." Souta tilted his head. "Unruly? I think you''re just upset that your disciples find me more interesting than you." The crowd gasped. "*He dares insult the Sect Master?!*" Sect Master Qing''s aura flared, golden energy crackling around him. "Impudent fool! I will put you in your place!" Souta sighed, rubbing his temples. "Man, why does everyone always want to fight me?" Sect Master Qing raised his hand, summoning a colossal golden dragon that roared to life. The sheer force of its presence caused the air to tremble. Souta, however, merely smiled. [Cosmic Overlord Realm achieved.] [Primal Heavenly Emperor Realm achieved.] [Infinite Ascendant Realm achieved.] He flicked his fingers. *Boom!* The golden dragon exploded into nothingness. The Sect Master froze. His eyes widened in disbelief. The technique he had spent centuries perfecting¡ªerased with a single flick. Souta stepped forward, hands in his pockets. "I don''t *need* to prove my strength to you, but¡­" He snapped his fingers. *Crack!* A sudden force wrapped around the Sect Master, sending him crashing into the ground, creating a deep crater. Dust rose as gasps filled the air. Everyone was speechless. "He¡­ He just¡ª" "The Sect Master is¡ª" Souta exhaled, shaking his head. "This is getting repetitive." He turned to the female disciples, flashing them a devilish grin. "Now, ladies, where were we?" Mei Yan''s face was flushed. Yue Lian looked away, biting her lip. Souta had just effortlessly crushed their leader. If he wanted, he could take anything. And he *would.* This world was his playground. And his harem? It was only just beginning. --- 2. The Rise of the Playboy Supreme The air was thick with silence. Every disciple, elder, and even the once-proud Sect Master Qing lay in stunned disbelief. Souta stood casually in the center of it all, hands in his pockets, his expression relaxed as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. The Sect Master¡ª*the* highest authority of the Heavenly Jade Sect¡ªlay half-buried in the ground, his face pale, his pride shattered. Souta stretched, letting out a lazy sigh. "So¡­ who''s next?" No one answered. They couldn¡¯t. Even those who despised him¡ªthe male disciples who saw him as a threat, the elders who wished to maintain their authority¡ªnone of them dared to speak. [Supreme Dao Lord Realm achieved.] [Eternal Celestial Emperor Realm achieved.] [Primordial Immortal Ancestor Realm achieved.] His strength continued to soar. At this point, numbers meant nothing to him. Titles like *God* and *Demon Lord* were mere decorations. He wasn¡¯t just *above* them¡ªhe was in an entirely different existence. Souta turned to the most important matter at hand¡ªthe women. His gaze swept over the crowd, locking onto the fiery-haired Mei Yan, the cold but alluring Yue Lian, and the countless other stunning female disciples who still stared at him in awe. He smiled. "Now then, ladies, I think it''s time we had a little *chat*." Mei Yan, bold as always, stepped forward, her crimson eyes gleaming with excitement. "You¡­ really are something else." Souta grinned. "Oh? Are you falling for me already?" She chuckled, folding her arms under her ample chest. "I wouldn¡¯t say *falling*¡­ but I wouldn¡¯t mind learning more about you." Yue Lian, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. "Souta¡­ Just *what* do you want from this sect?" Souta turned to her, smirking. "Isn''t it obvious?" He gestured at the countless beauties around him. "I came here to enjoy myself." The crowd murmured. "He¡¯s not even hiding it¡­" "Shameless¡­ but powerful. Too powerful." "I can¡¯t believe it¡­ why do I actually find him *attractive*?" Mei Yan laughed. "You''re direct. I like that." Souta leaned in closer to her, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You *really* like that, don¡¯t you?" She shivered slightly, her cheeks turning the slightest shade of pink. Yue Lian scowled. "This sect isn¡¯t some pleasure palace. We have rules, traditions, honor¡ª" Souta raised a hand, cutting her off. "Rules?" He gestured to the Sect Master, who was still struggling to lift himself from the crater. "I just broke your strongest rule¡ª*never defy the Sect Master*¡ªand no one stopped me." Yue Lian clenched her fists. "That¡¯s because your strength is¡ª" "Unfair?" Souta finished for her, smirking. "That¡¯s life. Strength decides everything in this world. And I happen to have *all* of it." She opened her mouth to argue but had no words. Souta chuckled. "Tell you what. Instead of resisting me, why don¡¯t you *enjoy* my presence instead?" Yue Lian¡¯s face turned red. "Y-You¡ª!" Mei Yan burst out laughing. "Oh, I like you, Souta. I really do." Souta winked at her. "I know." The tension in the air shifted again. No one could defy him. No one could match him. His rise was inevitable. His legend? Just beginning. --- A heavy silence loomed over the sect. The once-powerful Sect Master Qing still lay in a crater, his robes torn, his dignity shattered. The elders stood frozen, their faces pale. The disciples whispered among themselves, unable to comprehend what had just happened. And in the center of it all, Souta stood casually, his golden eyes gleaming with amusement. "Now that I¡¯ve shown you what I¡¯m capable of, I think it¡¯s time we make something clear," he said, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority. He let out a small sigh before raising a single finger. Instantly, the entire sect *shook.* Mountains trembled, the sky darkened for a brief moment, and the very air became heavy. [Realm Advancement: Infinite Supreme Monarch achieved.] [Absolute Dao Overlord Realm achieved.] [Endless Cosmic Sovereign Realm achieved.] Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. The system notifications rang in his head, but at this point, they were just background noise. He had already left the realm of mortals far behind. The disciples gasped in fear and awe. "He just¡­ with a single movement¡­" "This is beyond comprehension!" "He''s not human¡­ he''s a monster!" Mei Yan licked her lips. "A monster, huh? Then why do I find him so *damn* attractive?" Souta grinned. "Glad to know you appreciate true power, Mei Yan." His eyes swept over the crowd, locking onto Yue Lian, who still had an expression of disbelief. Her entire world¡ªthe rules she had lived by, the hierarchy she had respected¡ªhad just been *obliterated* in front of her. "Yue Lian," Souta called out. "You keep glaring at me like you want to fight, but we both know how that would end." She clenched her fists. "You¡­ you don¡¯t belong here." Souta laughed. "Oh? And why not? Because I don¡¯t fit into your little cultivation hierarchy?" She remained silent. Souta stepped closer, his voice dropping to a low, seductive whisper. "Or is it because you¡¯re afraid of what you¡¯re feeling right now?" Yue Lian¡¯s body stiffened. "I¡ª!" Mei Yan smirked. "Come on, Yue Lian. You *do* feel it, don¡¯t you? That excitement. That curiosity. That heat." Yue Lian glared at her. "Shut up." Souta chuckled. "No need to be embarrassed. It''s only natural to be drawn to power." She turned away, biting her lip, refusing to acknowledge the truth. Souta let out a satisfied sigh. "Anyway, let¡¯s get to business. Since I¡¯m the strongest person here, it¡¯s only right that I take charge, don¡¯t you think?" The sect elders paled. "W-What are you saying?" Souta smiled. "Simple. From now on, the *Heavenly Jade Sect* belongs to me." Gasps erupted through the crowd. The Sect Master, still groaning from the ground, tried to speak. "You¡­ you can¡¯t just claim a sect¡ª" Souta flicked his fingers. *Boom!* The Sect Master was sent flying back into the ground, his body trembling as if he had been struck by divine punishment. Souta cracked his neck. "I *can* and I *just* did." Mei Yan grinned. "Hah! I like it. Direct and to the point." The elders trembled. "You¡­ you¡¯re too arrogant! Do you think the other sects will allow this?!" Souta smirked. "They can *try* to stop me. It¡¯ll be fun watching them fail." The disciples looked at each other, unsure whether to be terrified or *impressed.* --- A thick silence filled the sect. No one dared to speak. No one dared to move. The Heavenly Jade Sect¡ªthe greatest sect in the region¡ªhad just been claimed by a single man. Souta stood there, his smirk unwavering. He *owned* this place now, and no one could do a damn thing about it. [Realm Advancement: Divine Cosmic Tyrant achieved.] [Eternal Supreme Celestial Lord achieved.] [Omniversal Dao Sovereign achieved.] He barely paid attention to the messages anymore. Power kept flowing into him every second, making him stronger than anything in existence. The elders trembled. "This¡­ this is madness!" "He thinks he can just *take* the sect?" "Where is the honor, the tradition¡ª?" Souta raised a finger. Instantly, the entire sect trembled. Mountains in the distance *split apart.* The sky darkened as cosmic energy radiated from his body. Even the air felt like it would collapse under his presence. The elders fell to their knees, unable to withstand the pressure. Souta sighed. "Honor? Tradition? You really think those things matter in front of absolute power?" The disciples looked at each other, fear and awe mixing in their eyes. One of them whispered, "*He¡¯s beyond anything we¡¯ve ever seen¡­*" Another blushed. "*Why¡­ why does his strength make my heart race?*" Mei Yan laughed, stepping forward. "I¡¯ve gotta admit, I love seeing arrogant old men tremble before real power." She placed a hand on her hip. "So, what now, Sect Master Souta?" Souta grinned. "Glad you asked." He turned to the disciples¡ªespecially the women. "Listen up. From this day forward, I am in charge. And I¡¯m not just here to sit on a throne and be worshiped." He smirked. "I¡¯m here to *enjoy* myself." Gasps filled the crowd. "*What does he mean?*" "*Is he planning to take all the sect¡¯s women?*" "*Isn¡¯t that too shameless?*" Souta chuckled. "If any of you lovely ladies are interested, my doors are always open." Some of the female disciples flushed. Others bit their lips, eyes filled with conflict. Yue Lian scowled. "You¡¯re unbelievable." Souta winked. "And you *love* it." She turned away, refusing to admit anything. The male disciples clenched their fists, jealousy burning in their eyes. "This bastard is going to steal all the sect¡¯s beauties!" "We can¡¯t let him!" One of them, a so-called genius, stepped forward. "You may be strong, but do you think you can just trample over us?! We¡ª" Before he could finish, Souta flicked his finger. *Boom!* The so-called genius was sent flying across the sect, crashing through multiple walls before vanishing into the horizon. Everyone went silent. Souta stretched his arms. "Anyone else?" No one moved. Mei Yan smirked. "Hah! You¡¯re making this place fun already." Souta smiled. "Of course. This is just the beginning." --- The atmosphere inside the Heavenly Jade Sect had completely changed. What was once a place of rigid discipline and strict hierarchy was now filled with tension, uncertainty¡­ and an undeniable sense of excitement. Souta stood at the highest platform, overlooking the entire sect. The disciples¡ªthousands of them¡ªhad gathered below, their eyes filled with a mix of fear, awe, and curiosity. The elders knelt at the front, their faces pale and sweat dripping down their brows. They had no choice. Souta¡¯s power was absolute. [Realm Advancement: Supreme Cosmic Overlord achieved.] [Infinite Dao Emperor achieved.] [Absolute Reality Monarch achieved.] At this point, he had reached a level beyond imagination. A single thought could rewrite the laws of this world. A single movement could destroy planets. But he wasn¡¯t here to destroy. He was here to enjoy. Souta smirked. "Now that I own this place, let¡¯s make some changes, shall we?" The disciples whispered among themselves. "*Is he really going to rule the sect?*" "*What does he mean by changes?*" "*Why do I feel like our peaceful lives are about to be turned upside down?*" Mei Yan leaned against a pillar, smirking. "I¡¯m curious too, Souta. What kind of *changes* are we talking about?" Souta raised his hand and made a simple gesture. Instantly, a golden throne materialized behind him, floating in midair. It radiated an aura of supremacy, dominance, and temptation. He sat down lazily, resting his cheek on one hand. "First rule¡ªstrength is everything. If you¡¯re weak, you listen to those who are stronger. Simple, right?" No one dared to argue. "Second rule¡ªloyalty to me is the only law that matters." He grinned. "Obey me, and you will have power, wealth, and pleasure beyond imagination." Some of the male disciples clenched their fists, jealousy burning in their eyes. One of them couldn¡¯t hold it in. "And if we refuse?!" Souta lazily flicked his fingers. *Boom!* The man was instantly erased. No scream. No resistance. Just gone. The entire sect froze. Some of the women gasped, covering their mouths in shock. Others¡­ felt a strange thrill seeing such an overwhelming display of power. Mei Yan licked her lips. "*Mmm¡­ brutal, I like it.*" Souta stretched. "And finally¡ªthe third rule." He glanced at the gathered female disciples, his golden eyes gleaming with amusement. "Ladies, my doors are always open to those who wish to¡­ *advance* in this sect." Silence. Then, whispers. "*Did he just¡ª?*" "*Is he openly saying¡ª?*" "*T-This man is too shameless!*" Some of the younger female disciples turned beet red. Others¡­ found themselves shifting uncomfortably, their minds filled with *dangerous* thoughts. Yue Lian clenched her fists. "You¡¯re unbelievable." Souta smirked. "You¡¯ve said that before." She turned away, but her reddened ears betrayed her. One of the bolder female disciples stepped forward. She had fiery red hair, sharp eyes, and an alluring figure wrapped in a tight martial robe. "If I join you," she said, her voice teasing, "do I get stronger?" Souta¡¯s smirk widened. "Much stronger. In every way." The other female disciples gasped at her boldness. Mei Yan laughed. "Oh? Now *this* is getting interesting." The red-haired woman took another step closer. "Then, Sect Master¡­" She bit her lip, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Teach me your ways." Souta stood up from his throne. "Gladly." 3. The First Step to Conquering the World The Heavenly Jade Sect was no longer the same. Since Souta''s arrival, everything had changed. The once-proud elders, who had ruled with strict discipline, now trembled in his presence. The male disciples, who had once dreamed of being top geniuses, were forced to accept the reality that their greatest aspiration was nothing compared to Souta¡¯s casual existence. And the female disciples¡­ Well, many of them had begun to look at their new Sect Master with different kinds of eyes. Some with awe. Some with curiosity. And some with undeniable interest. Souta sat on his golden throne, his legs crossed lazily. Beside him, Mei Yan stood with her arms folded, watching the changes unfold with amusement. "It¡¯s amazing," she mused, "how easily power shifts everything. Just a few days ago, these people would have never accepted a new ruler. And now? They kneel at your feet without hesitation." Souta smirked. "That¡¯s just the way the world works. Strength creates respect. Power commands loyalty. And¡­" His golden eyes gleamed as he scanned the crowd, "¡­charm makes it all worthwhile." Mei Yan chuckled. "Shameless as ever." Souta stretched. "Speaking of shameless¡ªwhere¡¯s Yue Lian?" As if summoned by his words, the icy beauty entered the hall, her long white robes flowing as she walked. Her cold, piercing eyes glared at him as she stopped a few feet away. "You called for me?" Souta grinned. "You say that like you don¡¯t enjoy my company." Yue Lian scoffed. "I don¡¯t." Souta¡¯s smirk deepened. "Then why do you always show up when I call?" She hesitated, her gaze flickering for a brief moment before regaining its coldness. "You¡¯re the Sect Master now. It¡¯s my duty to listen." "Is that so?" Souta leaned forward. "Or are you just waiting for an excuse to spend time with me?" A soft pink hue barely touched her cheeks before she turned away. "You¡¯re insufferable." Mei Yan laughed. "This is entertaining." Souta sighed dramatically. "Ah, women always resist at first. But in the end, they always fall for me." Mei Yan rolled her eyes. "You act like you¡¯ve already conquered the entire sect." Souta¡¯s golden gaze flickered with amusement. "Not yet." --- [Realm Advancement: Eternal Origin God achieved.] [Primordial Chaos Sovereign achieved.] [Absolute Omnipotent Monarch achieved.] His power continued to break all logic, defying every rule of cultivation. And this was only the beginning. Souta stood, stretching. "Alright. Time to go on a little¡­ recruitment mission." Mei Yan raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Where to?" Souta smirked. "There are other sects out there, aren¡¯t there?" --- Souta stood at the peak of the Heavenly Jade Sect, the wind blowing through his robe as he gazed out at the endless world before him. He had conquered this sect effortlessly, but this was just the beginning. There were other sects. Other powerful women. Other challenges waiting for him. And Souta never ignored an opportunity. Mei Yan stood beside him, arms crossed. ¡°So, where to first?¡± Souta smirked. ¡°The Scarlet Moon Sect.¡± Yue Lian, who had just arrived, frowned. ¡°That sect is filled with nothing but women. They¡¯re extremely hostile to men.¡± Souta¡¯s grin widened. ¡°Perfect.¡± Mei Yan laughed. ¡°Oh, this is going to be fun.¡± --- The Scarlet Moon Sect was an elite sect, known for its strict doctrine¡ªmen were considered inferior, weak, and unworthy. No man had ever stepped foot into their sect¡¯s inner grounds and lived to tell the tale. Until today. *Swoosh!* A golden light streaked across the sky as Souta descended from above, landing directly in the sect¡¯s sacred garden. Flowers swayed, the ground trembled, and the spiritual energy in the air bent to his presence. Instantly, dozens of women¡ªdressed in elegant yet battle-ready robes¡ªappeared, swords drawn. ¡°INTRUDER!¡± ¡°How dare a man step into our holy ground?!¡± ¡°Die where you stand!¡± Souta didn¡¯t move. He simply smiled, brushing imaginary dust from his sleeve. ¡°Now, now. Is that any way to treat a guest?¡± A powerful wave of killing intent filled the air as a woman in crimson robes stepped forward. She had long silver hair, piercing red eyes, and an aura of absolute dominance. The aura of a Sect Mistress. ¡°Who are you?¡± Her voice was cold, but her gaze was wary. She could feel that this man wasn¡¯t normal. Souta¡¯s golden eyes gleamed. ¡°I¡¯m Souta Akihiro. Your future Sect Master.¡± Silence. Then¡ª ¡°INSOLENCE!¡± ¡°YOU DARE?!¡± The female cultivators rushed at him, unleashing deadly techniques. Souta sighed. ¡°I was hoping we could talk first, but¡ª¡± He snapped his fingers. *BOOM!* A massive shockwave exploded outward. The entire Scarlet Moon Sect shook, the earth splitting, the sky trembling under his power. The attacking disciples froze in midair¡ªunable to move, their bodies locked in place by an unseen force. Souta took a step forward, his presence pressing down on them like a divine decree. ¡°You should know,¡± he said casually, ¡°that fighting me is pointless.¡± The Sect Mistress clenched her fists. ¡°Y-You¡­ What are you?!¡± If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Souta grinned. ¡°I¡¯m the man who¡¯s about to own this sect.¡± --- [Realm Advancement: Supreme Void God achieved.] [Omniversal Conqueror achieved.] [Transcendent Harem Monarch achieved.] His unstoppable journey had begun. And the Scarlet Moon Sect? It was just the first of many. --- The air was heavy with tension. The Scarlet Moon Sect¡¯s most powerful disciples and elders were paralyzed, unable to move under the weight of Souta¡¯s sheer presence. Even the Sect Mistress, a woman who had never once bowed her head to a man, was frozen in place, her crimson eyes filled with shock. Souta sighed and stretched his arms. "You know, I expected a warmer welcome. I mean, I just got here, and you¡¯re already trying to kill me? That¡¯s not very nice." The silence was deafening. No one had the strength to respond. He took another step forward, and the ground beneath his feet trembled. Some of the weaker disciples instinctively took a step back, their hands gripping their weapons tightly, but none dared to attack again. The Sect Mistress finally broke the silence, her voice strained but filled with defiance. "We are the Scarlet Moon Sect. No man has ever ruled us. No man ever will." Souta chuckled. "That¡¯s cute. Really. But let¡¯s be honest here¡­ do you think you have a choice?" She gritted her teeth. Spiritual energy surged around her as she forced herself to move, breaking free from his oppressive aura through sheer willpower. Flames ignited around her body, her cultivation reaching its peak. "Even if you are strong," she said, her voice cold, "we will never submit." Souta raised an eyebrow. "Never?" Without another word, she launched herself forward, her blade glowing with divine light as she slashed at him with all her strength. The very air around them was sliced apart, creating a massive shockwave. The attack never landed. Souta didn¡¯t move. He didn¡¯t dodge. He didn¡¯t even block. Her blade stopped an inch from his throat, trembling violently as if reality itself refused to let it touch him. The Sect Mistress¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. No matter how much strength she poured into the strike, it wouldn''t move any further. Souta smiled. "You done?" With a flick of his finger, an invisible force sent her flying back. She crashed into the ground, coughing as dust and debris filled the air. The entire sect watched in stunned silence. Souta walked toward her, his golden eyes filled with amusement. He crouched down, resting his chin on his hand. "Let¡¯s make a deal. You swear loyalty to me, and in return, I¡¯ll make sure your sect prospers beyond anything you¡¯ve ever imagined." She glared at him, breathing heavily. "And if I refuse?" His smile didn¡¯t fade. "Then I take over anyway. But if you cooperate, I¡¯ll be a *very* generous master." Her hands clenched into fists. Everything about this man infuriated her¡ªhis arrogance, his overwhelming power, the way he spoke as if he had already won. Because he *had* won. No technique, no strategy, no amount of resistance would change the outcome. He was beyond anything she had ever encountered. The Scarlet Moon Sect had always prided itself on never bowing to a man. But what was the meaning of pride in the face of absolute power? Her breath steadied. Slowly, she lowered her head. "The Scarlet Moon Sect¡­ submits." Souta grinned. "Good girl." As those words echoed through the sect, the rest of the disciples, one by one, dropped to their knees. Their Sect Mistress had chosen submission. That meant there was no point in resisting. Souta stood up and stretched. "Alright! Now that we¡¯re all one big happy family, I suppose it¡¯s time we celebrate a little." The disciples exchanged glances, unsure of what he meant. The Sect Mistress narrowed her eyes. "What kind of celebration?" Souta smirked. "Oh, you¡¯ll see soon enough." And just like that, the Scarlet Moon Sect belonged to him. --- The Scarlet Moon Sect had fallen. A sect that had stood for thousands of years, rejecting the rule of men, had bowed before Souta without him even breaking a sweat. The disciples, once filled with unwavering pride and hostility toward the opposite sex, now stood before him with hesitant yet submissive gazes. The Sect Mistress, still kneeling before him, clenched her fists tightly. She hated this¡ªhated the feeling of helplessness, of being forced to submit. But what else could she do? The gap between them was too vast, like the difference between a mortal and a god. Souta stretched his arms. "Alright, ladies. Now that we¡¯re all one big family, let¡¯s make some changes." The gathered disciples stiffened, wary of his words. "What¡­ what do you intend to do with us?" one of the elders finally asked, her voice cautious. Souta smirked. "Don¡¯t look so scared. I¡¯m not a tyrant. In fact, I¡¯d say I¡¯m a *very* generous man." The disciples exchanged glances, unsure whether to believe him. The reputation of men in their sect was nothing but betrayal and deception, yet this one carried himself with an arrogance that made them uneasy in an entirely different way. Souta turned toward the Sect Mistress. "Since you¡¯re the leader, why don¡¯t you tell me your name?" She hesitated before finally answering. "Jiang Xue." "Jiang Xue, huh? A fitting name for a woman as cold as ice," Souta mused, his golden eyes gleaming with amusement. "Well then, Jiang Xue, since you¡¯re now under me, I¡¯ll need to make sure you¡¯re taken care of properly." Jiang Xue¡¯s face darkened. "What do you mean by that?" Souta chuckled. "Simple. I plan to personally *guide* you and your disciples to a new level of strength. The Scarlet Moon Sect may have been impressive before, but under my rule, you¡¯ll reach heights you never even dreamed of." The gathered disciples stirred, whispering among themselves. "Is he serious?" "He¡¯s clearly powerful, but why would he want to help us?" "Could this be a trick?" Jiang Xue narrowed her eyes. "And what do you gain from this?" Souta¡¯s smirk deepened. "Isn¡¯t it obvious? If I¡¯m going to rule this world, I want the strongest women at my side. I¡¯m not here to oppress you. I¡¯m here to elevate you." The disciples looked at each other in shock. They had expected cruelty, punishment, or humiliation. Instead, he was offering them power? Jiang Xue clenched her teeth. She didn¡¯t trust him. Not yet. But she *knew* that rejecting his offer wasn¡¯t an option. After a long pause, she finally sighed. "Very well. But if you¡¯re lying¡ª" Souta interrupted her with a grin. "You¡¯ll find that I *never* break my promises." He turned to the gathered disciples, raising his voice. "From this day forward, the Scarlet Moon Sect is no longer an isolated domain. You will become *my* sect, my people. And I will take you to the top of this world." Some of the women looked uncertain, but others¡ªespecially the younger disciples¡ªwere captivated by his confidence. "Now then," Souta continued, his voice lowering, "let¡¯s get to the real reason I came here." Jiang Xue stiffened. "And what reason is that?" Souta chuckled. "I¡¯m here to claim what¡¯s mine." A heavy silence fell over the sect. The meaning behind his words was unmistakable. Jiang Xue¡¯s face turned red with both anger and embarrassment. "You¡­ you dare¡ª" Souta stepped forward, closing the distance between them. His presence was overwhelming, his golden eyes shining with amusement. "Did you already forget? You *submitted* to me. That means you belong to me now." The gathered disciples gasped, their faces turning various shades of red. Jiang Xue¡¯s breathing grew heavy. She had spent her entire life resisting men, rejecting their advances, proving that women were just as strong. But this man¡­ this *monster* had broken through everything she believed in with nothing more than a few words and an overwhelming display of power. She hated him. And yet¡­ Her body trembled as he reached out, tilting her chin up so that she was forced to look into his eyes. "You¡¯re mine now, Jiang Xue," Souta whispered. "And soon enough, you¡¯ll understand just how much that means." The Sect Mistress shivered, her body betraying her even as her mind screamed at her to resist. The disciples stood frozen, watching with wide eyes. And then, with a smirk, Souta pulled her close. The night of the Scarlet Moon had only just begun. --- The night air was heavy with an intoxicating stillness, the kind that heralded the beginning of something monumental. The Scarlet Moon Sect, a once-proud bastion of female independence and power, now stood under a new rule. Souta stretched his arms as he sat on the highest balcony of the main palace, overlooking the sea of beautiful disciples that now belonged to him. Their eyes, filled with a mixture of curiosity, defiance, and hesitant admiration, gazed up at him. Jiang Xue stood beside him, her face still tinged with frustration. Despite her submission, there was a fire in her that refused to die. "You¡¯re too quiet," Souta mused, glancing at her. "Are you thinking about how much you hate me?" Jiang Xue¡¯s jaw tightened. "I don¡¯t hate you." Souta raised an eyebrow. She sighed. "I *should* hate you. But I don¡¯t. And that terrifies me." Souta chuckled. "You¡¯re adapting quicker than I expected." Jiang Xue turned her gaze toward her disciples. "They¡¯re still unsure. They don¡¯t know if they should follow you completely or resist." Souta smirked. "That¡¯s only natural. But trust me, they¡¯ll all come around." As if to prove his point, a group of younger disciples stepped forward, their faces hesitant but determined. "Great Lord Souta¡­" One of them, a girl with jade-green eyes and long silver hair, spoke nervously. "Is it true that you¡¯ll make us stronger?" Souta nodded. "Of course." Another disciple stepped forward, this one a curvier woman with fiery red hair. "You said we¡¯d become the strongest. But how?" Souta chuckled. "Simple. I¡¯ll share with you a new path of cultivation, one that no one in this world has ever known before." Jiang Xue turned to him sharply. "You¡¯re not serious. You would just *give* us your knowledge?" Souta smirked. "What kind of man would I be if I let my women remain weak?" The words sent a ripple through the disciples. *His women.* The silver-haired girl blushed, looking away. The red-haired disciple bit her lip. Others shuffled uncomfortably, unsure whether to feel insulted or¡­ something else. Jiang Xue, however, met his gaze with a deep frown. "You speak as if you already own all of us." Souta leaned in close to her, his golden eyes glowing in the dim light. "Give it time." Jiang Xue¡¯s breath hitched. Before she could respond, a loud explosion shook the air. BOOM! Souta¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change as he turned toward the sect¡¯s outer walls, where flames erupted into the night sky. Jiang Xue¡¯s eyes widened. "An attack?" The disciples panicked, rushing to prepare for battle. Souta sighed. "Already? I was hoping for a peaceful first night." A disciple ran up to them, breathless. "Sect Mistress! It¡¯s¡ªIt¡¯s the Thunderclap Pavilion! They¡¯ve come to destroy us!" Jiang Xue¡¯s expression darkened. "Damn it¡­ I should have expected this. They always wanted to wipe us out, and now that we¡¯ve lost our independence¡ª" Souta chuckled. Jiang Xue turned to him in irritation. "What¡¯s so funny?" Souta stood, cracking his knuckles. "It¡¯s just cute how you¡¯re worried about something so trivial." Jiang Xue frowned. "You don¡¯t understand. The Thunderclap Pavilion is a powerful sect! Their leader is an Ascendant Realm cultivator, and their disciples are trained in destructive lightning techniques. Even at our peak, we struggled to match them¡ª" Souta yawned. "Yeah, yeah. I get it. They¡¯re *strong.* Whatever." Jiang Xue gritted her teeth. "This isn¡¯t a joke, Souta!" Another explosion tore through the night, and a voice boomed over the battlefield. "Scarlet Moon Sect! Surrender now, or be annihilated!" Jiang Xue clenched her fists. "Damn it¡­" Souta sighed. "Alright, alright. I¡¯ll handle it." Before Jiang Xue could protest, Souta casually stepped forward¡­ and vanished. The moment he reappeared, he was standing in front of the invading army. Hundreds of Thunderclap Pavilion disciples stood in formation, their weapons gleaming under the moonlight. A towering man with crackling blue energy surrounding his body floated in the sky, his aura monstrous. "You must be the leader," Souta said casually. The man¡¯s sharp eyes locked onto him. "Who are you?" Souta smirked. "Just a passing playboy." The leader of Thunderclap Pavilion sneered. "A fool, then. Very well. Die." He raised his hand, and a bolt of lightning the size of a mountain roared toward Souta. Jiang Xue and the disciples gasped. Souta, however, simply lifted a finger. The moment the lightning bolt touched him, it shattered into harmless sparks. The battlefield went silent. Souta stretched his arms. "That¡¯s all?" The Thunderclap Pavilion disciples froze, their faces paling. Their leader gritted his teeth. "Impossible! That was a divine-level attack!" Souta chuckled. "Oh? Then what do you call this?" He flicked his finger. BOOM! The air itself *tore apart* as a wave of invisible force swept through the battlefield. The Thunderclap Pavilion¡¯s outer defenses collapsed instantly. Hundreds of disciples were sent flying, their bodies crashing into the mountains. The leader, once so arrogant, screamed as he was slammed into the ground, creating a massive crater. Jiang Xue and her disciples stared in stunned silence. Souta dusted off his sleeves. "Well, that was boring." The Thunderclap Pavilion leader coughed up blood, his body twitching as he struggled to look up at Souta. "W-Who¡­ *what* are you¡­?" Souta crouched down, grabbing the man¡¯s face with a smirk. "The strongest." With a casual flick of his wrist, he sent the man flying into the horizon, disappearing as a mere dot in the sky. The remaining Thunderclap Pavilion disciples dropped their weapons, their knees shaking. Souta grinned. "Good. Now run home and tell the world¡ªScarlet Moon Sect belongs to *me* now." The disciples scrambled to escape, not daring to look back. Jiang Xue and her disciples were still frozen, trying to process what had just happened. Souta turned back to them, rubbing his neck. "Alright. Now that that¡¯s over, let¡¯s get back to what really matters." He smirked. "The *celebration.*"
