Ascension has always been a cause for celebration throughout history.
But Lu Ye felt a bit anxious.
Why? Because of the fixed ascension point created by that old trickster, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.
Although he could hang around the Third Heaven a little longer, waiting until he was strong enough to rampage in the Fourth Heaven before ascending…
Lu Ye didn’t do that!
He found out from the System that An Li hadn’t succeeded in her ascension yet, and he needed to rush over.
Even just catching a glimpse of An Li from afar would be enough to satisfy him.
After all, they were so in love!!!
When An Li was crossing her tribulation, she didn’t carry any scent of Darkness Origin, so the Heavenly Dao couldn’t make a move during her tribulation.
Shen Xitang didn’t have enough authority to attack An Li from the Third Heaven to the Fourth Heaven.
But if Lu Ye ran fast enough to see An Li, Shen Xitang would take action.
Time was pressing!
Lu Ye appeared at the Ascension Pool in the Fourth Heaven.
Crowds of people filled the sky, their crazed and greedy eyes all fixed on Lu Ye.
The moment Lu Ye showed up, everyone’s eyes turned blood red.
The Aroma of Achievement in Dao took effect!
“Boom!”
Countless figures charged toward Lu Ye.
Without hesitation, Lu Ye activated the Heavenly Demon Blood Escape.
At that moment, he burned a lot of blood essence, the red glow darting through the myriad of shadows.
“Boom!”
Lu Ye was hit.
His Nine Tribulations Undying Body withstood the damage, but his body still shattered, releasing an even denser Aroma of Achievement in Dao.
Shangguan Huanling would definitely be surprised if she saw Lu Ye using the Heavenly Demon Blood Escape.
Wait, why could Lu Ye’s Heavenly Demon Blood Escape turn corners?
Hers couldn’t; it was straight as an arrow!
Even in the state of Heavenly Demon Blood Escape, Lu Ye could still turn quickly. Yet, despite this, he was heavily injured, half of his body completely wrecked.
He broke through the encirclement.
He charged toward the place where An Li was crossing her tribulation!
At this moment, An Li had already passed the eighth thunderbolt of tribulation; the ninth one was still forming.
She felt a sense of unease.
But it wasn’t too strong; just one more thunderbolt, and she could ascend.
Once she reached the Fifth Heaven, she would be closer to the Darkness Origin, gaining even more authority. She could take her time to set Lu Ye up, ultimately leading him to his demise.
How thrilling this was, a million times more exciting than those days of tranquility.
Though the last life was comfortable, it was utterly boring.
The tribulation thunder was forming.
An Li was prepared.
Bring it on, last thunderbolt!
The tribulation thunder was forming.
Hmm?
The thunderbolt isn’t ready yet?
Form the tribulation thunder!
A blood-red beam with a long tail transformed into a straight line, wildly charging toward An Li.
The sky seemed to split in two from the blood-red light.
Wait for me!
Wait for me!
I will definitely see you, even if it’s just once!
Lu Ye had never felt such intense longing for An Li. If he couldn’t see her one last time before her ascension, his heart would ache!
They were so in love!
No!
No!
No!
The tribulations were still forming.
An Li couldn’t hold on anymore; was this Heavenly Tribulation just dragging its feet?
A Heavenly Dao, so malicious?
“If you won’t come down, then I’ll go up!”
An Li shouted and charged toward the tribulation clouds.
Suddenly, the clouds of tribulation began to rise.
An Li???
“Don’t run!”
An Li accelerated!
The clouds of tribulation accelerated too!
Unfortunately, the clouds could only go up and down, always locking onto An Li; otherwise, they’d be all over the place.
Throughout history, has anyone ever faced a Heavenly Tribulation where the tribulation victim chased the tribulation itself?
Finally, the Heavenly Tribulation was caught.
An Li rushed into the tribulation clouds. At this point, the tribulation couldn’t hide anymore and had to unleash thunderbolts, hitting with maximum force.
But with the help of the Darkness Origin, An Li’s strength was absolutely enough.
The lightning couldn’t destroy her.
“Boom boom boom…”
The terrifying sonic booms echoed, and the blood-red light closed in at high speed.
Lu Ye had arrived.
His gaze reflected An Li, who was currently ascending.
“Boom!”
A dark purple bolt of lightning suddenly struck toward An Li.
An Li had already reached the limit for her ascension; half of her body began to turn ethereal.
But she saw the dark purple lightning charging toward her.
She hadn’t even unleashed the power of the Darkness Origin; why could the Heavenly Dao attack her?
At that moment, An Li was stunned. Wait, when did the Heavenly Dao become so unreasonable?
Where were its rules?
Where was its ruthlessness?
Where was its impartiality?
This dark purple lightning was enough to kill her; this was beyond what the Heavenly Dao was supposed to do.
An Li had no choice but to use the power of the Darkness Origin for defense.
“Ding, just waiting for you to use it!”
As the power of Darkness Origin surfaced, black lightning bolts suddenly rushed toward the depths of the void.
One of them struck An Li.
An Li let out a scream as her body was blasted apart, disappearing.
In some unknown void, black lightning appeared, bombarding an abundance of black mist, with countless wails ringing out.
“Ding, so satisfying!”
The System was incredibly happy.
It could strike An Li and attack the Darkness Origin.
The System couldn’t imagine that such a wonderful thing existed in this world.
The blood light around Lu Ye dissipated.
His body was battered; one leg had been blown off, his face ashen.
A massive amount of blood essence burned.
His body shattered again.
But Lu Ye felt truly satisfied; he had finally seen An Li again.
How wonderful!
Huh?
Why do I feel like a lovesick fool?
Lu Ye shook his head, shaking off the messy thoughts in his mind.
“Ding, host, I need to mention something.” The System spoke shyly.
“You don’t have to say it.”
“Ding, can’t not say, must say must say!”
Lu Ye already knew it wouldn’t be anything good, but whatever.
Who told him he was in a good mood now?
“Go ahead.”
“Ding, uh, I just abused the power of the tribulation lightning, so now I’m going to face heavenly punishment. Since you’re my host, bear it for me.”
Lu Ye…
“Aren’t you helping the Heavenly Dao?”
“Ding, the Heavenly Dao is like this, particularly, particularly stupid. Host, watch out, it’s coming!”
Lu Ye looked up.
The clouds of tribulation gathered in the sky, a massive amount of calamity energy spreading, carrying devastating celestial might.
Lu Ye…
Such terrifying calamity energy?
Is it going to drop a small celestial calamity on me? Is it about to dish out a heavenly punishment for the Heaven and Earth Realm in one go?
Does this even make sense?
Does this even make sense?
“Damn, in this life, I’m done with this lousy Heavenly Dao!”
Lu Ye said grumpily!
p.s. Don’t panic, just had some temporary matters to deal with; the fifth update is almost done, be back soon, love you all!
