In the Elemental Plane, the roars of the Flame Demon Lord clashed against Legendary Magic, shattering mountains, boiling rivers, and reducing the battlefield to scorched earth.

Under the crushing weight of pure violence, the Wizards’ defensive line was on the verge of total collapse.

“Where is our backup?! …Our mana is depleted!” a Wizard roared, his voice completely drowned out by the deafening explosions.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—!!!

A series of sonic booms suddenly tore through the firmament. Like a falling meteor, a hundred-meter-tall steel colossus crashed violently straight into the center of the battlefield!

A terrifying shockwave, mingled with erupting magma, blasted into the sky, instantly sweeping away the smoke and the residual turbulence of magic. The Wizard’s jaw dropped. Staring at the trembling-inducing steel behemoth before him, he was shocked speechless.

[Requesting Command: Legion Deployment.]

Outside the Planar Crystal Wall, Allen Wesland abruptly opened his eyes. Deep within his gaze reflected an endless torrent of steel, standing by in the absolute void.

“Command approved.”

“Deploy! The Heavy Mechanized Legion!”

In a distant future, the empires of mankind span the galaxy, and glorious Earth has devolved into a peripheral backwater.

In Shanjing city in the Asian region, Wang Zheng’s dreams of becoming a mech pilot are crushed when his college entrance exam genetic score turns out a pathetic twenty eight, barely above an animal.

To make things worse, people get the impression he attempted suicide after being rejected by the campus beauty.

Then the closest thing to a family he has, the old man in the book store across the road, goes missing, leaving him only a mysterious birthday present.

The future unfolded on a magnificent scale into the Interstellar Age. Humanity finally solved the space warp technology, but when humanity transported themselves into the other end, they discovered that place neither had a past nor future, nor was there any land under the starry skies……

The mysterious sanctuary was actually a world filled with countless tyrannical unusual organisms. Humanity faced their great leap in evolution, starting the most glorious and resplendant new era under the starry skies.

“Slaughtered the God Blood organism ‘Black Beetle’. Received the God Blood Black Beetle’s Beast Soul. Used the God Blood Black Beetle’s flesh. Randomly obtaining 0 to 10 points of God Gene(s).”

Following the advancement of soul technology, the humans of Douluo Continent conquered the ocean and discovered two new continents. After being hunted by spirit masters excessively, the soul beasts are nearly extinct. After countless years of lying dormant, the King of the Soul Beasts has awakened in the Great Star Dou Forest.

Han Xiao was a professional power leveler before his transmigration. Using his past life’s knowledge, Han Xiao sweeps through the universe as he prepares for the arrival of the players. This is definitely not your typical transmigration novel.

In the magnificent interstellar era, mankind has finally developed teleport technology, but when trying to teleport, they are not sent to the future, the past, or any land known to men…

The Overlord of Puluo follows a young man named Li Banfeng, whose mind does not quite work like everyone else’s.

To save his best friend He Jiaqing’s life, he stepped onto Platform No. 96 and boarded the green-skinned train 1160.

Upon arriving, he finds himself in a strange realm that resembles 1900s China, but everything runs on steam, and nothing is quite as it seems.

Furthermore, he now holds an item that many covet and he must escape the claws of those hunting him.

In this land of peculiarities, there are cultivators of every kind: Wanderlust Cultivator. Homebound Cultivator, Agrarian Cultivator, Hedonism Cultivator, Gourmandism Cultivator, and so many more.

Some people can grow two extra heads or can take on the forms of other creatures, while certain cultivators attach hooks to their skulls to use as telephones.

There are Jianghu rules that everyone is said to follow, but can someone whose mind works differently truly obey them?

As Li Banfeng ventures deeper into this steam-powered world, questions begin to surface.

How did he truly arrive here? Was his best friend really the one who summoned him to Puluo?

If so, then who lies comatose in the hospital bed back home? Who is the voice within the gramophone?

What other peculiarities await him in this strange land?

And when his two cultivation paths finally collide, will he rise to achieve longevity, or lose himself completely to the madness of Puluo?

Most importantly, is Li Banfeng… really a sane man?

Official Synopsis:

Li Banfeng isn’t crazy. At least, that’s what the doctor said. The “feng” in his name means “mountain peak,” not “madness.”

To save a friend’s life, he steps onto Platform No. 96 and boards the steam train 1160. This train ride takes him to Puluo Province, a land frozen in the steam-powered era.

In this strange world, he meets a soulmate trapped in an old gramophone, a peerless beauty from a calendar post, a charming socialite swaying within an old tabletop pendulum clock, and an otherworldly master trapped in his own wine gourd.

Here, cultivation takes many strange forms. There are Gourmandism Cultivators who grow fiercer the more they eat, Smoking Cultivators who become stronger with every puff, Martial Cultivators who turn more ruthless with every kill, and Inebriate Cultivators who grow wilder the more they drink. There are also Wanderlust Cultivators who wish to go everywhere, and Homebound Cultivators who wish to go nowhere at all.

Among a hundred sects beneath the sky, who dares to vie for glory?

Among ten thousand cultivators of Puluo, who shall stand as the foremost?

Li Banfeng puts on his suit, tips his fedora, and lifts his feather duster.

With utmost seriousness, he asks, “Tell me. Who is the Overlord of Puluo?”

Stripped of his blood meridians, young lad Lu Ming suffered all kinds of humiliating demise and was deemed useless. One day, he gained access to the Supreme Shrine by chance and went on a glorious, odds-defying path with a reborn supreme blood meridian.

The myriad paths of the Dragon Emperor were birthed by cultivating the True War Dragon Technique, devouring countless living beings, connecting all blood meridians under the skies, and traveling through and defeating heroes from all Nine Skies and Ten Lands.

Humans are clever in tens of thousands of ways, Gu are the true refined essences of Heaven and Earth.

The Three Temples are unrighteous, the demon is reborn.

Former days are but an old dream, an identical name is made anew.

A story of a time traveler who keeps on being reborn.

A unique world that grows, cultivates, and uses Gu.

The Spring and Autumn Cicada, the Venomous Moonlight Gu, the Wine Insect, All-Encompassing Golden Light Insect, Slender Black Hair Gu, Gu of Hope…

And a great demon of the world that does exactly as his heart pleases!
