Chapter 238: *Smack!* (Fourth Update)

“You little Heavenly Realm cultivator, how dare you barge into my Swallowing Sky Mayfly Sacred Land! You’re looking for death!”

An enraged roar echoed in Lu Ye’s ears.

Lu Ye’s expression changed; *Swallowing Sky Mayfly Sacred Land?*

“Die!”

“Wait a second!”

Lu Ye suddenly shouted angrily.

Of course, nobody stopped. The other side wasn’t insane; you can’t just ask them to stop like that and expect them to save face!

A strike came at him, and even with all his strength to defend, he couldn’t help but vomit blood.

They were on entirely different levels.

*Run!*

In such a situation, any slightly normal person would bolt.

But in his previous life, Lu Ye, when discovered, insisted on storming the Swallowing Sky Mayfly Sacred Land to obtain the *Swallowing Sky Demon Scripture* for Shangguan Huanling.

As a result, he died.

Now, Lu Ye’s first thought was to escape.

Luckily, with the System by his side, his escape skills were already top-notch.

Horrifying experts began their pursuit.

The Swallowing Sky Mayfly clan was a top power in the Fourth Layer of Heaven, founded in the youth of the Mayfly Great Sage. Later, after the Nine Heavens were restructured, the Swallowing Sky Mayfly clan established themselves in the Fourth Layer.

It was too dangerous.

Lu Ye’s heart raced.

After a frantic and reckless escape, Lu Ye, though heavily injured, finally shook off the Swallowing Sky Mayfly clan’s pursuit.

He returned to his cave dwelling, where a figure approached.

“So? Did you find a method?” Shangguan Huanling asked urgently.

“No!” Lu Ye replied firmly.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Huanling became extremely worried.

“My Emotion Dao has vanished! Lu Ye, it’s all your fault! You made it impossible for me to cultivate!”

Lu Ye…

“You don’t even understand how to love someone. Just because you treat someone well doesn’t mean it’s love!”

“I can take good care of a cat or a dog, but that doesn’t mean it’s romance!”

“You have to help me! Without Dao, I can’t cultivate, you’ve got to let me cultivate!”

*Smack!*

Shangguan Huanling in the Three Lifetimes Tribulation had her face slapped to one side.

In reality, Shangguan Huanling also covered her face.

“You lost your own Emotion Dao, how is that my problem?” Lu Ye asked, perplexed.

“Because my Emotion Dao began with you! You didn’t keep it going, isn’t that your fault? You…”

*Smack!*

“You completely messed up your own Emotion Dao! You don’t love me anymore! Do you think you’re right?” Lu Ye was even more baffled.

Emotion Dao means you love me!

Now that the Emotion Dao is shattered, it clearly proves you don’t love me anymore; how is that my fault?

Shangguan Huanling took a deep breath.

“Sister Jiang Die said that the collapse of my Emotion Dao is because of you, leading to my inability to love you. If you had found a way for me to love you, how could my Emotion Dao have vanished?”

*Smack!*

“You hit me again!”

“It’s your words that made me hit you! If you hadn’t made it impossible for me not to hit you, would I want to hit you?”

A trace of confusion appeared in Shangguan Huanling’s eyes.

“What do you mean? I don’t understand…”

Lu Ye…

In the past, when he helped the Supreme Imperial Court, it was essentially helping Shangguan Huanling’s family fight against the alien alliance.

That time, he was gravely injured nearly to the point of death, but the Supreme Imperial Court collapsed.

So, the life he lost for Shangguan Huanling was essentially during the quest for the *Swallowing Sky Demon Technique*.

Lu Ye looked at Shangguan Huanling and couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

Forget it, don’t think about it.

*Smack!*

“Lu Ye, why did you hit me again?”

Shangguan Huanling couldn’t take it anymore.

“It’s your stupidity that made me hit you! If you hadn’t been unable to control your own foolishness, would I have hit you?”

“You’re bullying me… *Waaah!*”

Shangguan Huanling ran off crying.

Lu Ye rubbed his forehead; this woman would definitely not look for any kind of cultivation method herself.

So, she won’t die.

The final outcome should be stagnant cultivation until she meets the end of her life.

Lu Ye’s figure vanished.

He headed to his next tribulation point.

…

In reality, Shangguan Huanling covered her face, her eyes gleaming strangely.

Lu Ye actually hit her!

He actually hit her!

But, why wasn’t she angry at all? Instead, she felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

Her Emotion Dao was rapidly improving.

Shangguan Huanling’s realm began to break through.

She even thought, if the Lu Ye from her previous life treated her like this, would her Emotion Dao have never vanished?

“Big Brother Lu Ye…”

Shangguan Huanling called out dreamily.

Shen Xitang…

Oh no, she forgot to prevent this guy from seeing the contents of the Three Lifetimes Tribulation! Now that she’s seen it, she’s gonna like the host more…

Ugh…

No wonder this woman gives me the creeps; she’s truly formidable!

…

At the bottom of the Reincarnation realm, the Vermilion Bird True Spirit was trembling gently.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord appeared before the Vermilion Bird True Spirit.

After careful observation, it seemed he discovered something and quickly left as if shocked.

“Infinite you Celestial Lord… Uh, I’m a Celestial Lord too.”

“Reincarnation, you Celestial Lord, actually contains the power of Heavenly Dao; what has this Vermilion Bird done?”

It has already transformed into a True Spirit, and yet the Heavenly Dao can still find her?

Must not provoke!

The entire situation of this Vermilion Bird True Spirit must not be interfered with, or it would invariably bring about overwhelming consequences.

Other Celestial Lords might not fear the Heavenly Dao at all.

But the Reincarnation Celestial Lord is different; the formation of reincarnation originally involved the participation of Heavenly Dao.

Though he is powerful, even one of the strongest three Celestial Lords in history during reincarnation…

He is bound deepest by the Heavenly Dao.

Right, the next tribulation point is exactly the Vermilion Bird’s tribulation point.

At this moment, the Vermilion Bird, transformed by obsession, was trapped in endless pain, living every day to the fullest.

Yet today was a bit different.

Because, she added a little heart.

Among the obsessions, a new scene began to unfold.

“Don’t kill!”

A Stone Sword was instantly blocked by the Vermilion Bird.

Behind the Vermilion Bird, a tiny creature barely a foot long, with tear-filled eyes and a whimpering mouth, looked pitiful.

The Vermilion Bird knelt before Lu Ye’s sword, shielding the tiny creature with a pleading expression.

Lu Ye’s eyes turned blood-red, filled with immense killing intent.

“Get out of the way!”

“Lu Ye, I beg you, don’t kill! It was just born a short while ago; how could it be the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor? You must be mistaken, you surely are mistaken!”

“You’ve killed too many demons; please, don’t kill anymore!”

Lu Ye stared at the Vermilion Bird.

“Do you know that with him around, humans and demons cannot coexist?” Lu Ye spoke.

“He’s really not the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor! Lu Ye, please believe me!”

At this moment, it seemed two paths appeared before Lu Ye.

However, just as the first path appeared, it was quickly dismissed by Lu Ye.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor was a major enemy; even if he had the System, he might not be a match for him in future battles.

This guy’s talent was too outrageous.

Originally, the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor was meant to be the new protagonist in this world.

So there was only the second path left.

“Since you believe he isn’t a spirit, are you willing to touch him with your blood?” Lu Ye stared at the Vermilion Bird and asked.
