“The formation is complete!”
The Heartless Demon Lord appeared beside An Li, gazing at the grand and magnificent formation with a surge of heroic spirit in his heart.
The Demon Clan was meant to be like this, dominating the world!
“Then we wait.”
However, the Heartless Demon Lord had his concerns.
“What if he never comes out?”
Lu Ye could stay in the Endless Heaven Tower and cultivate to the Imperishable Realm without ever showing up. Were they really just going to sit here and wait?
Yet An Li was filled with confidence.
“He will come out!”
“Why’s that?”
“I have something he wants, and he absolutely needs it!”
“What is it?”
Just as An Li was about to speak, two loud booms echoed.
“Boom! Boom!”
Black thunder shattered the void in an instant.
An Li’s smile hadn’t even faded when a bolt of black lightning obliterated her, while another bolt disappeared into the void.
Of course, this couldn’t kill An Li.
It was just one of her avatars, but even so, the event darkened her expression.
Because being in the same layer of heaven as Lu Ye allowed the Heavenly Dao to attack her? Last time, Lu Ye had to see her in person to target her and her Darkness Origin.
Had the Heavenly Dao grown stronger?
An Li didn’t dare to show herself again, watching from under the cover of the Darkness Origin.
What she mentioned was the material used by Lu Ye to condense his seventh life.
In her hands was a Star Soul Stone.
Lu Ye was cultivating the **Nine Lives Undying Heavenly Canon**, needing to condense nine lives. He had already condensed six, but at the Fifth Heaven—no, even in the Ascendant Realm—he had to condense his seventh life!
Unless Lu Ye wanted to leave himself with a flaw, but it was evident that he didn’t want to.
He would definitely come out.
For the sake of condensing his seventh life.
For the Star Soul Stone!
The System rumbled with excitement.
Even though it hadn’t shown itself to confront anyone lately, it couldn’t help but want to blast An Li the moment it saw her, not wanting to talk at all.
Yin Qingcheng was just more entertaining.
It looked forward to meeting her, but sadly, the madwoman ascended too quickly, already off to the Seventh Heaven.
No rush, the show was still pending.
Right now, it was dealing with a bunch of things.
Little Banner, Little Heavenly Dao, Little Sword, Little Tree… it needed to establish its position as boss.
Thankfully, this tower didn’t follow the host; it didn’t want to, and neither did this System. A big dumb guy wasn’t charming at all.
The Endless Emperor was feeling out the Guarding Dao, and the more he pondered, the more baffled he became.
Huh?
This Dao doesn’t seem right, does it?
This guarding… is it a bit distorted and creepy?
Yet it was undoubtedly the true Guarding Dao!
Is this how the Celestial Lords’ Dao is?
Or is it only this Celestial Lord’s Dao that’s like this?
Could it be that he couldn’t become a Celestial Lord because his Dao wasn’t twisted enough?
At this moment, the Endless Emperor began to feel a deep, profound confusion.
He really didn’t know how to describe this feeling.
Intuition and experience told him that this Guarding Dao was wrong, but reality was telling him that this was how the Dao became a Celestial Lord.
The Endless Emperor found himself utterly baffled.
However, after careful observation, the Endless Emperor felt quite moved.
This Dao, while damaged and extracted to be given to the Tree of Enlightenment, was undeniably powerful.
Powerful enough to leave him in shock.
This was the Dao reaching a completely new realm after extreme sublimation; it was the origin of all things, the end of all things.
So this is the realm he had sought his entire life!
The Endless Emperor let out a soft sigh.
This sigh was one of satisfaction.
Although he hadn’t reached the Celestial Lord Realm, he had already glimpsed a corner of its existence at the moment of his fall.
Dying without regret!
At this moment, the Endless Emperor closed his eyes.
At this moment, all Emperor marks surged towards the Tree of Enlightenment.
He was gone!
Life comes rushing in, and departing just as swiftly.
Live brilliantly, with no regrets.
The Endless Emperor completely dissipated.
“Master!”
Wails erupted.
The Endless Heaven Tower trembled violently, its spirit weeping bitterly.
It knelt on the ground, tears streaming down its face.
Lu Ye stood by, lightly sighing, bowing respectfully to the Tree of Enlightenment.
“Fellow Daoist, may your journey be smooth!”
The Tree of Enlightenment gently swayed, radiating endless brilliance.
The marks of the Emperor fully merged into the Tree of Enlightenment, causing it to grow wildly.
Lu Ye waited quietly on the side.
Actually, the relationship between a weapon and its master was one of the closest bonds in the world.
In his last life, Lu Ye lost the Stone Sword and never used a sword again.
In that last moment, the Stone Sword exploded with endless brilliance, far surpassing Emperor weapons.
It took down three Emperors and one half-step Celestial Lord.
Lu Ye fought until his body was destroyed, soul shattered, and even his True Spirit was unleashed.
He had been heartbroken over it.
Now seeing the Tower Spirit like this, Lu Ye couldn’t help but reach for the Stone Sword, gently stroking its blade.
The blade trembled lightly, feeling Lu Ye’s intent and enjoying it immensely.
The Emperor’s Banner???
It couldn’t help but sneak over.
“M-Master… touch…”
“M-Master… touch…”
To Lu Ye’s surprise, the spirit of the Stone Sword actually spoke.
He was astonished, knowing that in his previous life, the Stone Sword only expressed consciousness in the Seventh Heaven because it was born naturally, making it quite difficult to gain awareness, unlike specially forged ones.
Like how it absorbed materials from Emperor weapons, it did so bit by bit, as if nurturing a living spirit. Although Lu Ye crafted it simply, he didn’t damage any of the Stone Sword’s structure.
Lu Ye gently stroked one with each hand, his eyelids twitching.
Alright, this treasure is enough with just these two; any more hands won’t be enough.
Better not end up with a pile of gear I can’t even touch.
Just these two will do!
The Endless Tower Spirit howled for a long time, but thankfully it had resolved itself; it wouldn’t be long before it went to accompany the Endless Emperor.
“Fellow Daoist, is there anything else?” The Tower Spirit asked with red eyes.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment.
“Um, well, the treasures?”
A hand bracelet appeared in the Tower Spirit’s grasp. “There are too many treasures; one storage treasure can’t hold them all. They’re all here.”
Lu Ye took the bracelet, putting all fifteen of them on his wrist.
“Anything else?”
Lu Ye nodded.
“Well, there’s one more thing. There are many enemies outside waiting to kill me; could you help me wipe them all out?”
The Tower Spirit’s gaze shifted to one side.
“If I make a move, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens will immediately suppress me!”
The Great Sage’s response was quick; even before the first strike of the Endless Heaven Tower fell, it could be caught by the Great Sage immediately.
“But you can kill them yourself!”
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.
“I’m not a treasure of offense, but a treasure of suppression. Should I burn myself, the full force of suppression will explode, dealing with the invading Demon Clan at your level. Perhaps it won’t trigger too many of the Great Sage’s laws.”
