Chapter 146: Seed of Annihilation (First Update)

“Y-you… what do you want to do?”

Shangguan Huanling was trembling as she spoke. Lu Ye was too terrifying now.

He was nothing like the Lu Ye she remembered.

The Lu Ye she knew used to have a sunny smile, was humorous and cute, and even occasionally came up with new words she had never heard before.

He would even write her beautiful poetry and read it to her.

Things like “Overbearing Husband, Love You Hard,” “Evil King Loves His Wife, No Escape for You,” “Immortal King Runs Away with a Child, Operation Chase Wife”…

Infinitely better than anything on the market.

But what about Lu Ye now?

His gaze was calm as water; there was a slight smile on his face, but it never reached his eyes.

Looking at her, there was no trace of affection left.

Only coldness.

“What poison did you give me?” Lu Ye asked.

A flustered expression appeared on Shangguan Huanling’s face.

“Is it too late for me to admit my mistake now?”

Lu Ye weakly shook his head. No wonder even Shen Xitang didn’t want to confront her directly.

It was genuinely concerning.

“Can you help me change my path? I don’t want to cultivate the Invincible Dao anymore. If you help me change my path, I’ll tell you what poison I used,” she suggested.

Shen Xitang looked at Shangguan Huanling, and at that moment, she felt an overwhelming sense of relief, like surviving a catastrophe.

Thank goodness she didn’t confront Shangguan Huanling directly; otherwise, her IQ would have dropped to rock bottom.

If Yue Hongling weren’t currently restrained, she would probably be rolling her eyes to the heavens.

This Shangguan Huanling always had a knack for making people laugh at their own stupidity.

You couldn’t even get mad at her.

It felt foolish to argue with a fool.

What was she thinking?

If she had encountered any of the other four women, they would have honestly confessed whatever poison they had used because they understood that if they didn’t, Lu Ye would really kill someone.

But now, Shangguan Huanling not only wouldn’t say but was also threatening Lu Ye…

She was in the Unity of Dao Realm, not even a disciple of the Grand Dao Sect, and she dared to threaten Lu Ye…

Buffs were maxed out right there.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but chuckle in anger.

Damn…

He slapped Shangguan Huanling on the shoulder and pulled back effortlessly.

Instantly, Lu Ye’s aura surged stronger.

“Try using your Celestial Lord Fist again and see if it still works,” Lu Ye said.

Shangguan Huanling was taken aback.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

An unremarkable punch was thrown out.

Gone was the immense, invincible aura of the Celestial Lord Fist, for Lu Ye had already reclaimed the Celestial Lord Fist intent he had left in her.

She was someone who hadn’t even reached the Dao level; without Lu Ye’s imprint on her faux Celestial Lord Fist, Shangguan Huanling couldn’t even throw a punch.

Her punch was directed at Lu Ye.

“Boom!”

Shangguan Huanling was sent flying.

A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out.

Lu Ye felt a headache coming on; he hadn’t planned on laying a hand on Shangguan Huanling at the start since she didn’t hold any affection for him, and there was no regret to speak of.

But she…

When you throw a punch at me, how can I not hit back?!

Shangguan Huanling was in pain and terrified.

Her Celestial Lord Fist—her strongest skill—had vanished.

“I’ll give you one more chance. If you don’t say what poison you used, I’ll strip you of your other two abilities,” Lu Ye threatened.

Shangguan Huanling was thoroughly scared.

She finally became obedient and hurriedly spoke up.

“It’s the Seed of Annihilation, the Seed of Annihilation.”

Hearing this brand-new term, Lu Ye couldn’t help but sigh softly.

This was a seed created by the ancient Annihilation Cult, trying to erase the heavens and the great Dao by sacrificing the entire cult for the ultimate annihilation.

They had almost succeeded back then.

The entire world had suffered a terrifying shock at that moment.

Countless beings lost their realms.

Because at that time, a Saint had reached a dead end, and the heavens and the great Dao wept for him.

The Annihilation Celestial Lord took such a mad step to become a new Saint.

But unexpectedly, even a decaying Saint could infinitely transcend at the end of life, ultimately shattering the delusions of the Annihilation Celestial Lord.

The entire Annihilation Cult had become a thing of the past, leaving only a seed that vanished into the boundless void.

Saints could die too.

Don’t even mention Saints; even the Heavenly Dao was replaced by the System, and this world held too many possibilities.

“Where did you get this seed?” Lu Ye asked with a grim face.

“I picked it up.”

“Looks like you really want to die!”

Shangguan Huanling immediately felt wronged, “I really did pick it up; why would I lie to you?”

Lu Ye had been carefully observing her expression. If it were anyone else, there might have been a chance of deception.

But this was Shangguan Huanling…

Picked it up.

Good one, “picked it up”!

At that moment, Lu Ye could finally confirm that someone was definitely plotting against him.

Just not sure who yet.

The Source of Darkness?

There’s a possibility.

That sickly person?

Also possible!

Even the Reincarnation Celestial Lord could be in on it.

Because apart from Lu Ye, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord also had a chance to become a Saint. If Lu Ye were to become a Saint, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord would have to continue waiting.

Lu Ye got the answer he wanted and turned to leave.

“Brother, wait for me!”

Shen Xitang called out, then paused her steps.

“Oh right, Yue Hongling, Bai Qiulan is about to die. If you want to save her, the Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra can do it.”

“And as for Maidservant Chu, even that silly Shangguan can practice the Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra. You all better put in some effort—if you don’t, Brother and I are going to ascend together, and then you won’t see me for eternity!”

“Wait for me!”

After throwing that line, Shen Xitang quickly caught up with Lu Ye.

The Sword Mountain contained sword techniques; Lu Ye wouldn’t strip the heavenly techniques; he wasn’t omnipotent.

However, due to the influence of stripping heavenly techniques, the Sword Mountain’s sword technique was in a precarious state. After observing the process of the stripping, Lu Ye gleaned some insight and smacked down the Sword Mountain.

The main body of the Sword Mountain was already shattered, leaving only this illusory Sword Mountain.

Lu Ye didn’t intend to recreate a Sword Mountain; too much hassle.

But as compensation, he could condense a powerful sword intent to leave for the Supreme Sword Sect, and they’d probably be satisfied.

What sword intent to choose?

After a moment of thought, Lu Ye had an idea.

For the Supreme Sword Sect, let’s refine a Supreme Sword Dao and gift it to them!

Meanwhile…

The Eternal Order Sect was furious about their failed capture of Bai Qiulan.

They couldn’t understand; Lu Ye was the top of the Eternal Genius Ranking; killing enemies across levels was one thing, but what kind of existence was Bai Qiulan?

Why did she unleash such terrifying power?

A group of peak Transcending Tribulation experts and Scattered Deities had been overwhelmed by Bai Qiulan’s crossing tribulation.

The strength was absurd.

Crossing Tribulation!

They must cross Tribulation!

Become Great Vehicle and crush the Grand Dao Sect!

Thus, the first nine-layer Transcending Tribulation expert, after all preparations were complete, swallowed a Crossing Tribulation Pill and officially began their tribulation!
