Chapter 200: What a Thrill!

He began his cultivation, and here I am, just chilling at the Unity of Dao Realm.

He’s at the Unity of Dao Realm, and I’m still trying to catch up.

He’s in the Transcending Tribulation Realm, and guess what? I’m still here too!

He ascended, while I’m still stuck here!

Finally, I managed my own ascension, and now he… he ascended AGAIN!!!

“Lu Ye, you’re just terrifying!”

Liu Changfeng sighed dramatically.

Honestly, in my previous life, Liu Changfeng was almost right there with Lu Ye in ascension; it wasn’t just him, some folks from the Grand Dao Sect ascended together with Lu Ye too.

They all moved from the Second Heaven to the Third Heaven.

What else could they do?

Shangguan Huanling was just too slow in her cultivation.

To wait for her, it took nearly a whole century to ascend to the Second Heaven last time.

And now? A hundred years?

Lu Ye figured he could smash through to the Sixth Heaven without breaking a sweat.

“Is my Senior Brother ascending again?”

Yue Hongling stared blankly at Lu Ye, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.

She had been working so hard.

To enhance her realm, she even absorbed Yin Power, enduring the most grueling pain.

And yet, despite all her efforts, she was still just at the Earth Immortal Level.

She hadn’t reached the Celestial God Level yet.

And here was Lu Ye, flying off.

So decisive, so heartless…

“I can’t catch up. This goodbye feels like it’ll be forever. We’ll never see Senior Brother again,” Yue Hongling murmured, lost in her thoughts.

Not just a “see you later.”

She wouldn’t see Lu Ye again, not even a fleeting glance from him.

“This time, no one is holding you back,” Shangguan Huanling said, unable to hold back her tears.

Through the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations, she’d managed to get a wealth of resources and a ton of spiritual treasures, which was thrilling.

But it was exhausting!

She only got those treasures in exchange for teaching, and it tired her out pretty badly.

In her previous life, she didn’t earn a dime, relying completely on Lu Ye.

Yet, Lu Ye had somehow pushed her to the Great Emperor level. Now, she was starting to doubt and wonder.

How many resources did Lu Ye really scavenge to elevate her to the Great Emperor level?

Now, even with all her efforts, she had just barely stepped into the Celestial God level.

Bai Qiulan looked at Lu Ye, tears welling up in her eyes.

Was he really leaving for good?

From then on, they’d be strangers. Teacher and student, Dao partners—everything cut off.

Indeed, without her dragging him down, nothing could stand in his way anymore.

Chu Ling covered her face, her breath almost silent.

She didn’t want it this way, but what could she do? Too many enemies around!

She couldn’t even visit him openly; it was just tragic.

She poured all her energy into frantically cultivating, ruffling feathers left and right, always on the run.

All to keep up with her master.

But he was moving too fast!

Way too fast!

Chu Ling was utterly worn out.

Turns out, despite their abilities, without relying on Lu Ye, they’d barely touched the peak of the Second Heaven before being left in the dust.

“Pff!”

Chu Ling coughed up blood, staining the black cloth covering her face.

Big tears rolled down her cheeks.

From now on, she would no longer have a master.

…

Lu Ye was busy setting up formations.

Everyone was scratching their heads; why would someone as strong as Lu Ye need formations to transcend tribulation?

Isn’t that a bit too cautious?

“Boom!”

A tremendous thunderclap shook the heavens and earth.

Golden lightning, as thick as a baby’s arm, struck down in an instant.

The void transformed into a sea of gold as countless bolts of golden lightning spread out.

“Clang!”

With a swift stroke of his sword, Lu Ye split the golden lightning clean in half.

The thunder crashed into the ground, and a terrifying magnetic field formed around Lu Ye, forcibly absorbing the golden threads of lightning into his body.

“Boom!”

The second bolt of the tribulation fell.

Another sword strike.

With just these two swings, Lu Ye’s body erupted in a roar as the Fourth Tribulation of his Nine Tribulations Undying Body was achieved, a thick aroma wafting from him.

But it didn’t spread far—since he was transcending tribulation, no one got a whiff of it.

“Crank up the intensity,” Lu Ye said calmly.

“Boom!”

The Heavenly Tribulation got mad at Lu Ye’s audacity—a bolt of golden tribulation lightning the width of a barrel struck at him like an unstoppable golden hoop!

Sword light howled.

Endless sword light transformed into a dragon, colliding fiercely with the golden tribulation lightning.

They annihilated each other.

What a thrill! THIS is what transcending tribulation feels like!

Everyone watching felt their scalps go numb.

Good grief, this transcending tribulation was on a whole different level from what they knew.

This tribulation lightning was just too powerful!

“Ding! I refuse to believe it!”

The system was not satisfied; she always went all out for Lu Ye—anything less wouldn’t live up to being his fragrant host.

Plus, her mission this time was to shatter her host’s body!

“Boom!”

The golden lightning cascaded like a waterfall.

It was overwhelming.

This tribulation had reached the peak level of any Celestial God ever transcending in history, and yet it couldn’t harm Lu Ye—he hadn’t even pulled out the Celestial Lord Fist yet.

Of course, he was his proud creation!

Lu Ye still wielded his Stone Sword, unleashing boundless sword intent upwards, clashing with the sea of lightning.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged like crazy.

All of it poured into the cloud of tribulation.

The fifth bolt of tribulation lightning fell, the golden lightning dazzling to the extreme.

“Boom!”

Lu Ye was going all out.

His aura skyrocketed.

Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations!

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope—they could do that skill too!

But as they saw Lu Ye break through major realms and soar straight to the Fifth Level of the Destined Realm, their faces dropped.

Not quite—their cultivation didn’t even match Lu Ye’s explosive output.

But Lu Ye’s not even at his limit yet! With another burst of a secret technique, his aura rocketed to a terrifying Seventh Level of the Destined Realm.

“Boom!”

The earth shattered.

The void collapsed.

Then came the sixth bolt of tribulation, the golden lightning finally darkening to a dull gold.

Blood appeared at the corner of Lu Ye’s mouth.

“Good grief, did this guy offend the Heavenly Dao? No one ever transcending tribulation as a Celestial God has faced dark golden lightning in history, right?”

“Historically, no Celestial God has ever bled just a bit from the corner of their mouth while facing golden lightning, right?”

“Top of the Eternal Genius Ranking, I finally comprehend the magnitude of that status—it’s terrifying!”

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

With one punch, the dark golden lightning shattered.

The seventh bolt!

With the Celestial Lord Fist!

The eighth bolt!

The lightning had completely transformed into dark gold.

Yet, it still got obliterated by a single punch from the Celestial Lord Fist.

You could only say, too brutal! Too shocking, to the point where one begins to question life itself.

Seeing this, the system couldn’t hold back.

She disregarded the heavenly laws, and the clouds of tribulation suddenly dispersed.

No, it wasn’t just a dispersion; all the clouds of tribulation converged into one final bolt of tribulation.

“Boom!”

Amid the dark gold, with a barely perceptible hint of purple glow, even Lu Ye’s Celestial Lord Fist was smashed by a bolt of tribulation lightning that could reach the peak of causality level.

His physical body shattered along with it.

Masses of Aroma of Achievement in Dao spread out from his destroyed body, rapidly wafting away.
