After Killing Dao Partner, the Villainess Becomes the Demon Ancestor

#NoCP Yun Qingyue never expected her grand wedding to end in divine execution. All because a manipulative little junior sister with a hidden "system" and a talent for tears convinced their entire sect to force Yun Qingyue aside. When she unleashed her full power to crush the traitors, it wasn't her enemies who finished her—it was the Nine Heavens' Thunder Tribulation, a punishment she never deserved. She thought it was the end. But a shred of her soul survived, now trapped in a mortal body so weak it's practically a prison. Her spirit root is gone, her meridians are feeble, and her immortal path is sealed shut. But Yun Qingyue has finally seen the truth: her "pure" junior sister is a system-wielding thief, her sect are all pawns, and the very Heavens are blind. So if the heavens call her a villainess, she'll become the demon they fear. If the path of immortality is closed, she'll open the road to the Demonic Path. Her new philosophy is simple: sever all karma and dominate everything in her path. This time as Xie Zhaolin, she's not just climbing to the top; she's burning the entire mountain down on her way up. === English Original Title:《After Killing My Dao Partner, the Cultivation World's Villainess Becomes the Demon Sect's Ancestor》 (Note: Title adapted for acomoding max character title in Webnovel.)

The Hollow Ascendant

Kael Vireth has survived three years as an outer disciple in the Iron Talon Sect—barely. In a world where immortals rule from jade towers and the weak exist only to be devoured, he's learned that caution and obscurity are the only paths to survival. Until his fellow disciples abandon him to die in the Crimson Fang Mountains. Left broken and bleeding, Kael's rage awakens something dormant in his bloodline: a fragment of the Devouring Void Scripture, a forbidden technique sealed away ten thousand years ago during the Consumption Wars. By consuming essence directly from the dead—unfiltered, unpurified—he gains power that makes traditional cultivation look like a child's game. But every soul he devours leaves a mark. Memories that aren't his. Skills he never learned. Voices whispering in the dark corners of his mind. The technique doesn't just grant power—it slowly erodes the boundaries of identity itself. As Kael ascends from the Outer Reaches toward the Jade Towers, he must hide his forbidden power from orthodox sects that would destroy him, navigate deadly political games with immortal stakes, and fight the growing chorus of consumed souls threatening to drown out his own voice. The question isn't whether he'll reach the top. It's whether he'll still be himself when he gets there. In a world built on devouring the weak, Kael will become the apex predator—even if it means losing everything that made him human. The Hollow Ascendant is a dark progression fantasy exploring power, identity, and the cost of survival in a fundamentally corrupt system. Not all monsters wear fangs. Some wear the faces of everyone they've consumed.
