What does it mean to struggle for the Dao?
It’s a method even more terrifying than seizing a body.
Seizing a body is about devouring a soul and occupying its shell.
But the body and soul can rarely unify, they are hard to become one.
Yet, the struggle for the Dao begins with the Dao, creating a mutual suppression of great Dao within the soul, ultimately merging them under the Dao, forming the most suitable state.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor has a lot of confidence in his Dao.
Countless great Daos exist, and I am in the heavens and the earth.
The five elements and the nine heavens are everywhere.
He doesn’t believe that a young lad, no matter how terrifyingly powerful in battle, can walk very far on the path of the Dao.
The immense power he sacrificed is enough to pull Lu Ye into the Dao world most suitable for him, completely shattering and consuming him.
The first Dao!
The Dao of countless living beings!
Countless beings are me, and I am the countless beings!
Enter the Dao!
In an instant, the consciousness of Lu Ye and the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor blurred simultaneously, as a colossal phantom appeared above Lu Ye’s head.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor prepared to give Lu Ye a little shock. When Lu Ye sees that the endless beings are all him, how will he feel?
He will doubt himself, doubt the Dao.
Unable to believe that someone’s Dao can be powerful to such an extent.
With these thoughts, until the great Dao world woven from their entangled Daos took shape.
The phantoms in the sky began to reveal their forms.
What is it?
It’s the starry sky!
Huge stars float in the boundless universe, appearing still, but in reality, it’s because the universe is so vast that the stars’ movements are imperceptible.
Each star is breathtakingly huge.
Rings of various colors around the stars give a kind of indescribable spiritual shock.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor was stunned.
He looked at these enormous stars, at the endless stars.
Where are his billion beings?
No, where are his billion beings?
His great Dao was supposed to evolve countless beings, not countless stars!
The Tree of Enlightenment on Lu Ye’s arm trembled with excitement, all its leaves shaking.
He, he, he…
He followed the right leader!
It initially thought it had only grabbed a big leg to hold on to, but looking at this scene of countless stars, it’s not just a leg, this is a freaking tree that reaches the heavens!
At this moment, the scene of the manifesting Dao changed again!
Endless stars suddenly shrank down, a massive number of stars turning into a rotating, dazzling vortex.
A river of stars!
An even more shocking scene appeared.
With the first river of stars emerging, the second and third rivers followed…
One round after another of star rivers hung in the boundless universe like, no, not like—it is the most beautiful necklace.
Countless rivers of stars converged into the most spectacular picture.
Such a scene would leave anyone who sees it utterly shocked for a lifetime, unforgettable.
“How can this be?”
“How could you possess such a Dao?”
“I don’t believe it!”
In an instant, the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor let out a terrified roar, unable to believe, convinced that he was hallucinating.
His Dao was unstable, chaotic, collapsing.
His faith shattered.
His heart, seeking the Dao, at this moment was riddled with holes, on the verge of collapse.
“I won’t accept it, no, it’s an illusion!”
“My Dao is without death or destruction, eternally existing!”
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor abruptly switched his Dao. It must be said, he was indeed astonishing—having not fallen in the First Heaven, to achieving mastery in the Seventh Heaven, and transforming into a Parasitic Celestial Demon shows his prowess.
Although Lu Ye’s previous cultivation speed couldn’t be called unparalleled throughout the ages, it was still rare across epochs.
Yet the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor could stand against Lu Ye; one must admit his unmatched strength.
The river of stars faded.
Lu Ye sat cross-legged atop a mountain of corpses, chaos swirling above him.
The chaotic mist suddenly cleared, revealing a new scene gradually unfolding within the chaos.
“Boom!”
A clap of thunder resounded through the heavens and earth.
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor was going to fight Lu Ye for the path of immortality; with countless avatars, trying to kill him was as difficult as reaching into the sky.
He was confident!
But in the next second.
A giant mouth, indescribable by words, appeared in the void.
That mouth was gigantic, its owner hidden in darkness, just inhaling lightly.
At that moment, everything turned to chaos, dust, and mist.
Living beings, minerals, divine metals, great medicines…
In the end, the sun, moon, stars, and the Dao of the universe all turned to flowing light, rushing into that giant mouth.
Everything was being destroyed, everything was vanishing.
This was merely one scene of the looming chaotic turmoil to come.
Who dares to claim immortality in the face of such a sight?
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor was nearly going insane.
One could see the intense red fluctuations surrounding Lu Ye’s body.
He was in fear.
He was horrified.
He couldn’t believe it!
This was an absolute suppression of realm and vision.
The scene suddenly shifted again.
This time, the phantom transformed into the boundless tribulation clouds of the universe.
Just the pressure from the Heavenly Tribulation made the void turn to chaos.
Golden divine thunder raced through the dark clouds.
A single thread of lightning could obliterate a giant star.
This was the view from when Lu Ye faced his tribulation to become an emperor.
Under such a thunderous trial, who would dare claim they are indestructible?
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor?
Even the mature Parasitic Celestial Demons wouldn’t dare!
“Ah ah ah…”
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor let out a chilling scream.
His Dao collapsed with a thunderous crack; pouring so many resources into this struggle which only resulted in the shattering of his Dao heart.
In the Demon World.
In the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Palace.
Suddenly, the horrified cry of the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor rang out—his body smashed through the demon palace and crashed heavily onto the ground.
“No!”
“No!”
He seemed to have gone mad, suddenly kneeling and frantically bowing forward, each bow sending dust flying as the earth trembled.
“I was wrong, I was wrong!”
“Spare me, spare me!”
“Hahaha, fake, it’s all fake, everything is fake!”
“Ah ah ah…”
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor fell into extreme pain, crying, laughing, begging, and shouting in turns.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, under the astounded gazes of countless demons, the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor erupted.
He self-detonated!
The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor self-detonated!
What on earth happened?
The demon clan was on the verge of insanity. What did the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor experience?
What terrifying experience drove him this mad, leading him to self-detonate in the end?
Lu Ye opened his eyes.
This time, his eyes held much less red; though streaks remained, they were now suppressed by a clear consciousness.
This time, the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor would find it quite difficult to pass this hurdle.
Of course, if he were somehow able to, he might become Lu Ye’s opponent in this life, albeit a barely manageable one.
“Finally under control, wasted a lot of materials, such a spendthrift,” Lu Ye muttered to himself.
He clasped his hands in formation, and immediately flames began to ignite upon the corpses.
His gaze turned towards the Ninth Layer Battlefield.
It seemed like he could see the **Eternal Genius Ranking** hanging above the Sea of Blood monument through layers of space.
Time to go make my mark on that ranking!
