An Li confidently poked her head out, only to be smashed by a dark purple lightning bolt.
But with the Darkness Origin at her back, she couldn’t just die like this.
The Heavenly Dao actually had its own consciousness.
Not just An Li, even the Darkness Origin felt a twinge of fear at that moment.
The Heavenly Dao, you could say, was all-powerful.
When it gained consciousness, could any schemes still succeed?
An Li felt a flurry of panic as things spiraled out of her control, but for just a moment, she managed to force that panic down.
No rush, take it slow!
Take it slow!
Right now, Lu Ye was already at a disadvantage; news of him being a reincarnated powerhouse was everywhere.
More and more people viewed Lu Ye as a villain.
From now on, everyone would treat Lu Ye with disdain.
She knew that in this situation, Lu Ye would certainly be feeling miserable because he needed others to acknowledge and like him.
As long as everyone hated him, she would have the chance to extinguish his Dao heart.
In his past life, Lu Ye was schemed against, and in this life, he was still being played like a fool by her!
She wouldn’t lose!
Because she had no weaknesses!
Only those with weaknesses can be defeated!
“Why hasn’t anyone come to chase me down?” Lu Ye asked curiously.
“Buzz Buzz Buzz…”
The Stone Sword trembled slightly.
“Did I kill them all? No way, I only killed a few thousand!” Lu Ye thought he’d barely scratched the surface.
“Gululu…”
The Emperor’s Banner was radiating purple energy.
Yes, you haven’t killed many, but the ones you did kill were all strong!
Everyone is greedy, but they’re not idiots.
So many powerful individuals have died; does that mean the weak will rush in to die too?
Lu Ye thought this was actually pretty good.
An Li felt that she had outsmarted herself; she wouldn’t have to run around for resources now, and the lower-tier cultivators would have a more comfortable environment to cultivate, avoiding resource centralization.
Killing two birds with one stone.
So, he didn’t need to be angry; if someone came to kill him, he’d just eliminate them.
If no one came to kill him, he’d earnestly chase after Chu Ling.
Simple as that.
Lu Ye’s figure had already reached the void outside, and Chu Ling had run quite far this time.
“System, she hasn’t crossed her tribulation yet, right?” Lu Ye asked.
“Ding, no!”
The system was sure, if she searched for Chu Ling, she wouldn’t find her, but as long as Chu Ling crossed her tribulation, that would be right under the system’s nose.
Just like An Li, if she kept hiding, the Heavenly Dao truly wouldn’t find her.
But the moment she shows up, the Heavenly Dao could deliver a devastating blow.
While it might not kill in one shot, it would undoubtedly deal significant damage to the Darkness Origin; a few more hits, and the Darkness Origin would crumble.
Lu Ye flew on relentlessly.
Ahead, many figures appeared.
Lu Ye shook his head in resignation; more aliens. He glanced at the Emperor’s Banner.
“So, how’s the meal? Still edible?”
“Gululu…”
“As long as it’s edible!”
With Jiang Die around, the carrying capacity of the Emperor’s Banner grew tremendously. After absorbing so many souls of the Return to One and Three-Life Realm powerhouses, it was only slightly burping but nowhere near the crazy hiccuping level.
This made Lu Ye quite satisfied.
If there were one more Chu Ling, with two main souls stabilizing, he’d no longer have to worry about the Emperor’s Banner not being able to handle it when they entered the Fourth Heaven.
“Reincarnation of a powerhouse?”
The leading member of the Demon Clan stared at Lu Ye, looking him over with curiosity.
“Is it a powerhouse from my Demon Clan? Or an evil cultivator’s powerhouse?”
Lu Ye couldn’t be bothered to answer, and in an instant, infinite sword light buzzed into action, ten Lu Yes appeared, then a hundred, then a thousand.
Countless Lu Yes, countless sword lights.
All rushed toward the alien army in a single wave.
Screams erupted in an instant.
No one could withstand the Lu Ye of the Return to One realm.
Killing these beings was as easy as killing chickens.
The void was littered with countless corpses, and Vermilion Bird flames danced, turning the bodies into a bright red Dan药 while sweeping up a ton of storage treasures that landed in Lu Ye’s hands.
Lu Ye continued forward.
Ahead, the void started to show a deep black.
This was a place Lu Ye had never been.
In his past life, he fought the aliens in the Third Heaven and had only made it to this point. Beyond this, not only did the energy thin out, but it was also no longer suitable for living beings.
Until a black whirlpool appeared ahead.
Lu Ye gazed at this whirlpool.
His figure stopped.
The threads of causality clearly indicated that Chu Ling was right in that black whirlpool.
She was luring him in.
Chu Ling was indeed in that black whirlpool; it was an entrance that existed before the formation of the Nine Heavens, leading to a place called the Dark Abyss.
At this moment, Chu Ling had fully embraced the Darkness Origin.
Her strength would not be suppressed in the Dark Abyss; instead, she would thrive like a fish in water, becoming even more terrifying.
Chu Ling knew very well that since she had already attacked Lu Ye, it would surely provoke his murderous intent.
She had originally planned to cross her tribulation and ascend to the Fourth Heaven, but just before the tribulation, An Li suddenly told her not to cross it—not at least right now.
So she followed An Li’s orders and came to the Dark Abyss.
As long as Lu Ye entered, the Dark Abyss could suppress him.
If he was suppressed for a few hundred years or even a thousand, by the time Lu Ye re-emerged, the outside world would be a done deal.
If Lu Ye wanted to come out, he wouldn’t have no chance.
That would be to cultivate the power of darkness and become a similar existence to the Dark Abyss.
But if he did that, the power of the Heavenly Dao within Lu Ye would definitely abandon him.
“Young Master, if you want to kill me, come in and kill me!”
Chu Ling’s voice echoed from the whirlpool.
“In your reincarnation, you’ve been thinking of making us regret; indeed, we’ve regretted it, but why won’t you forgive us?”
“You were wrong in your past life; although we eight poisoned you, we were still willing to leave you a life, giving you the chance to amend your mistakes, yet you won’t even give us the chance to make amends!”
“Now don’t blame me for being heartless; all of this is self-inflicted!”
Lu Ye…
Faced with such outrageous statements, Lu Ye also felt helpless.
In his reincarnation, Lu Ye thought that as long as they didn’t provoke him, he wouldn’t take ruthless action.
He had nearly forgotten about Chu Ling; wouldn’t it be better if she cultivated by herself?
Does it mean that as long as they regret, if he doesn’t forgive them, he’s the one at fault?
Wrong!
Wrong!
All wrong!
Lu Ye felt like his entire life had been a mistake, the scariest thing was sometimes unconsciously, one might actually start to believe that these women made some sense.
Just take Chu Ling, for example.
In his past life at Chu Sword Mountain, Lu Ye considered himself benevolent when he acted as the riddle man—he was wrong.
When Chu Ling first backstabbed her ally, Lu Ye didn’t punish her—he was wrong.
When Chu Ling backstabbed her allies multiple times, Lu Ye couldn’t correct it—he was wrong.
When Chu Ling poisoned him, Lu Ye didn’t even appreciate her leaving him a life—he was wrong.
In this life, when Chu Ling regretted it, Lu Ye didn’t forgive her—he was wrong.
When Chu Ling completely recognized her mistake, and Lu Ye still wouldn’t forgive her—he was still wrong.
Was it only Lu Ye who was wrong? Doesn’t everyone else in the world share any responsibility? Don’t you have any faults?
