Slaughter Martial Emperor

Slaughter Martial Emperor is a long Eastern fantasy web novel by Zhong Shenxiu, serialized on Tadu Literature, roughly 3.13 million characters and 1,375 chapters in total, completed around 2020. The story takes place on the Savage Continent, where martial arts prevail: cultivators, in order to step through the ultimate door of martial arts, spare no expense of life as they fight heaven and contend with others; the victors dominate, and the losers leave no bones behind. The protagonist, Fang Hai, is an ordinary disciple of the Martial Hall in the outer sect of the Divine Martial Gate. The story begins with "power dissipation," and he embarks on a path of comeback with the legacy of a heavenly book. The book takes cultivation advancement as its main thread, linking alchemy duel gambling, treasure hunting in ancient cave dwellings, sect resource contests, thunder-tribulation body tempering and breakthroughs, spirit pool crystallization, and contests for the Martial God Ranking, interspersed with elements such as pet beasts, puppet avatars, and ancient secrets; within Fang Hai's own small world, he even trains a "Slaughter Legion," sweeping aside opponents with the hardline stance of "whoever won't submit, I'll wipe out your whole clan." The work is briskly paced with dense satisfying moments, one of the more popular representatives of traditional Eastern fantasy on the Tadu Literature platform; the final chapter, "The Final Step! Martial Emperor Supreme!" brings Fang Hai's main storyline of ascending to the Martial Emperor realm to a close.
