Chapter 343: Epic Battle

The sword light whistled, the heavens cracked and the earth quaked.

The void split apart, the giant beast was cleaved in two, and a shower of blood and organs rained down.

Lu Ye charged into the horde of beasts, a tidal wave of attacks crashing towards him, but a golden bell shadow appeared around him.

All the attacks were absorbed by the bell shadow.

However, the sword light had nothing to block it.

Blood, severed limbs, heads, internal organs…

A massacre feast began.

Alone, Lu Ye was completely unmatched, weaving through the beasts and leaving a bloody trail in the void.

The Stone Sword buzzed with excitement, vibrating incessantly.

It was so strong, so darn awesome; the sword energy it exhaled was simply shattering everything.

Wow, the master was too fierce, and it loved it!

The devouring beasts were being slaughtered relentlessly, yet they charged fearlessly because there were just too many. To them, Lu Ye’s slaughter was like a tiny little knife scratching their skin and flesh.

Because the knife was too small, even though it hurt, they could tolerate a hundred thousand cuts, a million cuts.

How many could Lu Ye kill?

What did they have to fear?

The sky-splitting sword light flashed; if any sword technique masters were nearby, they would notice that the sword light Lu Ye unleashed resembled many sword techniques.

Dao Sword!

World Burning Sword!

Invincible Sword!

Heavenly Sword!

Eternal Sword!

Great Wilderness Sword!

…

He effortlessly wielded all sword techniques, each strike a pinnacle of sword mastery.

How could the devouring beasts defend against that?

What could they use to defend?

It was a slaughter frenzy!

Blood trails crisscrossed everywhere; even though the devouring beasts were Quasi-Emperors with a strong will, as they were slaughtered, none showed even the slightest hint of retreat.

The Stone Sword grew more and more exhilarated.

I’m killing, killing, killing, killing!

Lu Ye lost count of how many he had personally killed, but the void was already littered with the shattered bodies of devouring beasts.

Finally, he felt a bit tired.

Not so much tired, but when he had slaughtered his way from the demon realm to the devil realm, he hadn’t even blinked.

To be precise, he had consumed too much energy and was running low.

Suddenly, a pulling force burst forth from within him, mysterious patterns rapidly spread across his skin, and he began to absorb the power of the fallen devouring beasts.

If he was able to absorb it, Lu Ye wouldn’t need to go beyond the Nine Heavens to crush the devouring beasts right here.

The broken yet rich power in the void surged into his body.

Lu Ye paused slightly, squinting his eyes.

The next moment, his aura skyrocketed again. The energy released by the slain devouring beasts was like the best supplement flooding into Lu Ye’s body.

Lu Ye became fierce once more!

“Roar!”

The devouring beast let out an anxious roar.

It seemed to know how troublesome it would be if Lu Ye absorbed the energy from its death, so it began to find ways to stop him.

Lu Ye furrowed his brow again.

The speed at which he replenished his True Essence slowed dramatically, but it was still sufficient.

He was now simultaneously slaying devouring beasts and competing for energy.

Kill, kill, kill!

The void was stained crimson.

The Emperor’s Banner fluttered behind Lu Ye, not taking action; even though there were millions of bodies, the soul was just a Quasi-Emperor’s soul, so there wasn’t much value in deploying the banner.

As for the Stone Sword, it was enjoying the killing spree so much that it couldn’t help but feel a bit envious, yet also relieved.

Little Stone Sword, don’t be so cocky; it’s all fun and games now, but wait a bit—won’t you be wiping off blood with a cloth and laughing your tail off?

Not envious, not envious at all.

Hmm… Speaking of which, haven’t we fought demonic cultivators in this Fourth Heaven yet? When will we fight them?

It absolutely loves fighting demonic cultivators because when it battled them, not only could it absorb their souls, but it could also claim the Ten Thousand Souls Banner for itself. It was simply too wonderful.

Time ticked by.

An Li grew anxious.

“What the hell is going on? It’s all your energy; how could you possibly lose to Lu Ye?” An Li shouted.

“How would I know why I can’t beat him!”

The devouring beast roared in frustration.

Clearly, it was part of it, and now the enemy was using its energy to kill it. Was that fun?

“No way, we can’t let this go on. Let me borrow some of your energy!”

The devouring beast bellowed.

“No way! If I use my energy now, the Heavenly Dao will strike back against me!” An Li naturally refused.

“It won’t! I can cover for you! I’m almost evenly matched with him in energy contention; if you help me, the victory scale will tip in our favor. Right now, you’re helping me take down this Lu Ye. You can’t just sit there and watch my strength keep draining!” The devouring beast was extremely agitated.

Every time a clone was killed, its power diminished.

Even if it was a Quasi-Emperor, it couldn’t withstand this level of depletion.

An Li pondered.

“What are you thinking about? I’m already fully on your side. Before Lu Ye reincarnated, he was so strong that his life was my death and vice versa; there’s already no room for maneuver.”

“Damn it, who the hell is this Lu Ye? Why is it so easy for him to break through the Heaven and Earth realm and kill me like slaughtering chickens and dogs? I’m a Quasi-Emperor, damn it, I’m a Quasi-Emperor!”

“I’ve been thoroughly screwed by you guys!”

“If we can’t kill this Lu Ye this time, I’m done for, and you won’t have it easy either!”

The devouring beast was exceptionally agitated.

Amid the devouring beast’s continuous roars, An Li finally chose to utilize the power of the Darkness Origin.

In an instant, the devouring beast’s strength surged.

In the void, the silhouette of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens appeared, coldly staring at the devouring beast.

Now the devouring beast’s power had indeed reached its peak state; a tiny bit more, and the Great Sage would intervene.

Lu Ye’s expression changed slightly.

But he continued to kill!

He had already killed tens of thousands, or maybe twenty thousand; he completely lost count.

His physical body was tired, so he unleashed a spell again.

In that moment, earth, wind, water, and fire revolved, creating a storm that crushed everything.

He took a breath.

His sword-holding hand didn’t budge, while his other hand quickly formed seals, pooling a large amount of Heaven and Earth power towards him.

Clearly, he was running low on True Essence inside him.

The devouring beast became even more frenzied, crushing through its own corpses and recklessly charging at Lu Ye.

The Stone Sword continuously dripped with blood.

Lu Ye glanced at it and gave it a shake.

It didn’t come off cleanly.

The Stone Sword vanished directly from Lu Ye’s hand.

At this moment, up, down, left, right, front, and back, it was all devouring beasts, looming like mountains and seas, completely surrounding Lu Ye.

Lu Ye took a deep breath, clenched his fists.

Celestial Lord Fist!

At that moment, the power of Heaven and Earth in the void was instantly cleared away.

Completely cleared away.

Not a drop remained.

The devouring beast stood dumbfounded.

What the…

With Lu Ye reaching the Heaven and Earth Realm, the sealing degree of the Celestial Lord Fist had once again been enhanced.

It wasn’t an upgrade, it was an unsealing.

The power of Heaven and Earth was drained in an instant, entirely gathering at Lu Ye’s right fist.

A trace of shock appeared in the devouring beast’s eyes.

This punch…

This punch!

It was named, Celestial Lord!
