Chapter 400: Finally Killed a Life

No longer holding on. Lu Ye couldn’t hold on any longer.

Well, An Li thought so too.

Because Lu Ye had failed to break through again. Even with his previous skills, the enemies couldn’t touch him among the countless troops, but now he was moving sluggishly and getting hit left and right!

Lu Ye was starting to become a mess in the Demon Clan’s army.

An Li was thrilled; he was finally running out of strength!

The thunder of calamity had not stopped.

Time continued to pass, and Lu Ye remained on the brink of shattering, yet not shattered.

He was starting to get hurt, beginning to feel powerless.

The number of Demon Clan warriors he had killed was beyond counting.

“I can’t keep this act up…”

Lu Ye told the System somewhat speechlessly in his mind.

“Ding! Host, did you forget you have other lives?”

Lu Ye was taken aback; he really had forgotten.

It couldn’t be helped, mainly because in his last life he lived as if he only had one life, burning through one life to save another. Even now, reborn, he often unconsciously felt he only had one life.

But now, with the System’s reminder, he realized.

Speaking of which, had An Li also forgotten she had multiple lives?

Or did she think that regardless of how many lives she had, the Demon Clan could wipe her out?

Actually, An Li hadn’t forgotten!

To her, as long as Lu Ye died once, there’d be no need to control the Heartless Demon Lord, because a dead Lu Ye would definitely not spare the Demon Clan!

By then, she wouldn’t have to use the power of Darkness Origin, and the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t be able to continue attacking the Darkness Origin.

Lu Ye pondered whether he should pretend to have died once.

He was still weakening, and weakening had already reached a state of being utterly exhausted.

Continuing to weaken would leave him with nothing left to weaken.

So, what if he staged a resurrection? Would that scare An Li away?

At this point, killing An Li is important, but Lu Ye thought that breaking down the Darkness Origin was just as crucial.

If the Darkness Origin was gone, what about An Li?

Wipe her out with a snap!

Just hold on a little longer, a little longer!

Until An Li’s face revealed a look of doubt.

“An Li, why hasn’t it ended yet?” The Darkness Origin went wild, and now it was practically bleeding with heartache.

No, but for what reason?

Since An Li faced off against Lu Ye, the accumulated destruction caused by the Heavenly Dao had reached thirty thousand years.

Thirty thousand years!

Not three days, not three years, not even thirty years, but a full thirty thousand years!

Yes, it had been accumulated over many years.

Yet, even this couldn’t withstand such consumption.

Lu Ye sighed.

Forget it!

Let’s give An Li a sweet deal first!

He decided to pretend to be dead; after all, An Li’s repeated failures were somewhat pitiful. What if the Darkness Origin abandoned her? Where would he find such a good connector again?

Sigh, he was just too kind.

With that thought, Lu Ye let out a wild howl.

Blood-red flames ignited around him, his combat power skyrocketed, unleashing an even more terrifying slaughter!

And when An Li saw this scene, she wasn’t scared but elated.

Because Lu Ye, in this state, was completely burning the last of his strength for one last crazy push!

Hahaha, she did it!

She did it!

She had finally killed one of Lu Ye’s lives; she had succeeded!!!

The Darkness Origin let out a sigh of relief; it was finally going to end.

An Li was indeed very capable.

Fine, it wouldn’t transfer the pain onto her.

The pain in An Li faded; she exhaled a murky breath, looking at Lu Ye’s final craziness with a smile.

Despite all this time passing, Lu Ye hadn’t even managed to kill one-tenth of the Demon Clan warriors, and there were still endless waves of them arriving from the void.

These weren’t the suppressed Demon Clan warriors from before.

Lu Ye let out a final sigh.

When his life energy completely vanished, a completely new Lu Ye, in peak condition, emerged.

As this new Lu Ye appeared, his fury and killing intent surged to the extreme.

The lifeless Lu Ye’s body shrank, entering Lu Ye’s mouth, reabsorbed back into him.

“Kill!”

Lu Ye roared, unleashing his full combat power.

A massive sword light swept across the void, even the stars seemed small under its radiance; with a single strike, thousands of Demon Clan warriors turned to dust.

An Li couldn’t help but erupt into joyous laughter.

“Hahaha, my husband, one life down!”

“I’ve taken another one of your lives, don’t hold it against me; it’s just that I love you too much!”

Lu Ye shot a blood-red glance at An Li.

This girl had been fooled into a daze by him. With that refining pill in hand, his new body was still his original body; the Sky Veil Technique was truly refreshing, even the Darkness Origin couldn’t see through it beneath its very nose.

Well, that was normal; after all, the Heavenly Dao got played by the Sky Veil Technique last time too.

An Li lifted the control over the Heartless Demon Lord.

The Heartless Demon Lord’s expression turned grim for a moment, but quickly transformed into a warm smile.

“A Li, you actually don’t have to be this way. Not to mention my sincere feelings for you; I’m in the same camp as you. Your enemies are my enemies, and I will fight Lu Ye with all the strength of the Demon Clan; you can rest assured!”

“Hmph, now that the Demon Clan has killed one of Lu Ye’s lives, he absolutely won’t spare them, even if you catch me now. But do you think you can catch me?” An Li sneered.

At that moment, the Heartless Demon Lord was cursing wildly inside.

He never expected An Li would have a way to control him!

Otherwise, upon hearing Lu Ye swear by the Dao, he would have been ready to encircle An Li.

Now that Lu Ye had actually lost a life.

Of course, the Lord knew Lu Ye didn’t just have one life, but no matter how many lives he had, he had enmity to settle!

Was there just no way out?

How many lives does Lu Ye have now?

Killing so many Demon Clan warriors with one life, if he had seven or eight lives, Lu Ye might just wipe out all those years of Demon Clan accumulation.

How would he complete his grand endeavors then?

“Heartless, if you really help me wipe out all of Lu Ye’s remaining lives, do you know what kind of person you’ll become?”

“The Lord of the Demon Clan in the Nine Heavens!”

“No, you’ll be the Lord of the entire epoch’s Demon Clan!”

“Whether within or beyond the Nine Heavens, you’ll be someone above all others. What ambitions would you have left undone then?”

“You could latch onto the Darkness Origin’s leg; getting on board that ship would be the best decision of your life!”

An Li was wildly painting a rosy picture!

Actually, it wasn’t just painting; if Lu Ye truly died, she wouldn’t be able to think of who could possibly stop the Darkness Origin. The Darkness Origin could even collaborate with the Reincarnation Celestial Lord to strike a lethal blow against the Heavenly Dao at the cost of the Reincarnation Celestial Lord becoming a saint.

However, at this moment, Lu Ye spoke up again.

“Heartless, my previous vows still stand!”
