Demon Palm Over the World

Demon Palm Over the World is an Eastern fantasy web novel by Laohei Daici, roughly 1.31 million words and over 370 chapters. It was long serialized on online platforms such as 3G Book City, Tadu Literature, Tomato Novel, and Tencent Reading, and is now complete; no formal print edition has been found. At the opening, the modern man Chen Zhong transmigrates to another world and, the moment he arrives, is framed by Tong Bao, a disciple of the Yuanji Demon Sect, and thrown into the sect's Cold Water Prison, from which nine out of ten never emerge. In desperate straits, he uses modern habits of thought and observation to find written clues on the riverbed and gains the opportunity of the Nine Yang Demon Seed and the Nine Yang Demon Art; his cultivation advances by leaps and bounds, and he escapes when the prison collapses. From there he rises from a minor figure in the sect's outer ranks, passing through perilous places such as Flame Mountain, the underground world, and the Corpse Demon Hall, maneuvering against forces such as the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Lijiang Sword Sect, making his name at the martial tournament, slaying foes such as Song Shijun, Lin Jianfeng, and Tong Bao, and entering the inner mountain and the ranks of research disciples. In the middle and later stages the stage expands to the Ten Thousand Immortals Island in the East Sea, the Dragon Fiend Secret Realm, the Star River Sword Sect, and Fire Dragon Mountain; he continually upgrades his artifact gourd, studies artifact forging and alchemy, contends for treasures such as the Gangsha Qiankun Pearl, and battles powerful enemies including the Primordial Heavenly Demon Dao and the Void Demon Divine Clan, ultimately advancing toward a higher realm of immortals. The work uses a volume-and-chapter structure, with the first volume, Demon Sect Disciple, followed by Renowned in the Region, East Sea Trials, Research Disciple, and Innate Hundred Fiends, forming a typical growth arc of demonic-path ascent from weakness to strength.
