Chapter 431: Explosion

The explosion that had just calmed down began again.

Lu Ye was taken aback.

The Dao couldn’t soothe all this boiling energy either.

The System was calculating, and Lu Ye was brainstorming.

If the Dao couldn’t calm it down, what else could?

Oh right, his True Essence! True Essence could sever the chaotic energy!

Brilliant fireworks exploded continuously above the Nascent Soul as the embryonic world underwent a miraculous evolution.

The Nascent Soul dove straight into the embryonic world, hands waving as vast amounts of True Essence flooded inward.

“Ding! Calculation complete!”

The System chimed in.

A solution appeared in Lu Ye’s mind: after an extreme explosion, new life would quickly emerge. This was the basic method of world creation.

In this scenario, if it weren’t for the fact that the explosion was happening in Lu Ye’s Dantian, the explosion could have gone wild—because the more intense the explosion, the stronger the world birthed.

But the issue was, it was happening right in Lu Ye’s Dantian.

He couldn’t let that explode.

It had to be born slowly.

The method the System calculated was currently the most likely way for Lu Ye to succeed. It can’t really be called a divine ability, more like a solution known as Bee’s Nest.

In ancient times, there existed a type of bee called the Heavenly Bee, which is now extinct.

These Heavenly Bees could produce Heavenly Honey, an incredibly precious delicacy, more valuable than dragon liver or phoenix gall—a supreme food and great medicine.

To protect this Heavenly Honey, the Heavenly Bees had a very special nesting method, known as building a Sky Nest.

This nest had amazing defenses, with an astonishing internal structure—layer upon layer of defenses that didn’t hinder the flow of gentle energy. The more violent the energy, the sturdier the barriers inside; the gentler the energy, the weaker the barriers.

However, constructing such a Sky Nest required a massive price from the Heavenly Bee clan. The nest is entirely solidified by energy, meaning it could only be formed after solidifying True Essence, consuming vast amounts of it, resulting in many strong members of the Heavenly Bee clan making little advancement over the years and getting wiped out by enemies.

Now, the solution was to create a Sky Nest within this embryonic world.

The explosion could happen, but only within a limited range.

It couldn’t connect in one go.

Once the energy turned gentle, the existence of the Sky Nest was nearly nonexistent, because the nest’s barriers wouldn’t obstruct normal energy flow.

But building this thing was a massive project—could Lu Ye do it alone?

Well, he had no one else to help.

Inner Universe!

Lu Ye didn’t know what it would eventually evolve into, but he was sure this inner universe would definitely bring him tremendous benefits.

These benefits wouldn’t be temporary but everlasting, and they’d only get more amazing over time!

Let’s get to work!

One Lu Ye appeared, then another, and another, until three, four, five…

All the Lu Yes dove into the embryonic world to start building the Sky Nest.

In that instant, a vast amount of True Essence vanished from Lu Ye’s body.

Lu Ye wasn’t panicking.

At other times, he might have, but now he had just obtained the relics of the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign—so many treasures, what was there to worry about?

Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra, activate!!!

Six Lu Yes; one Nascent Soul, like the hardest-working worker bees, began to construct the nest.

The explosions didn’t stop; in fact, this was just the beginning. The surface of that heart hadn’t even broken yet.

The current explosions were at an acceptable level.

From the outside, the entire crown-shaped world had begun to show a layer resembling crystalline structures, which continued to expand slowly—not fast, but steadily growing.

Another wave of explosions rapidly rose.

After absorbing one treasure, Lu Ye immediately moved on to the next.

One by one, treasures turned to ashes in his hands.

Luckily, these treasures were sealed; the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign was not only a master thief but skilled in escaping, hiding, and sealing.

This saved Lu Ye a lot of trouble.

Practice, build, build.

Each time a Saint’s heart was refined just a little, another wave of explosions surged.

The speed of the Saint’s heart being refined was visibly increasing.

Lu Ye had stopped progressing; he was now focused on tidying up the embryonic world.

Thank goodness for the Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra; anyway, this True Essence wasn’t being refined into Lu Ye’s body—instead, once it took shape, it would rapidly be delivered out by Lu Ye.

Thank goodness for the relics of the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign.

Thank goodness for the Nine Lives Undying Heavenly Canon.

Most importantly, thank goodness for the System.

Each of these things was indispensable.

The crystalline structures on the embryonic world kept increasing.

Lu Ye was busy soaring through it, even losing track of how long time had passed, but that was fine; cultivation itself takes time, and Lu Ye wasn’t one to need others to marvel at his progress at such a young age.

For him, it didn’t matter if it took a hundred years to ascend from the Fifth Heaven to the Sixth Heaven or a thousand years to reach that point.

The relics of the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign were gradually diminishing; before he knew it, the Chaos Treasures and Sovereign Weapons had all been refined by Lu Ye.

Lu Ye didn’t feel heartache; he went after the Emperor Weapons directly!

As long as the path was right and enough effort was expended, the opportunities would be huge.

Losing so many treasures now could lead to obtaining a complete universe later—what does that even mean?

With one punch, I can harness the power of an entire universe; can you withstand it?

If the universe is powerful enough, even a Saint could shatter under its strength!

“Boom!”

The explosions grew even fiercer.

The entire Saint’s heart melted and collapsed.

Terrifying energy swept across the entire embryonic world.

All avenues were madly scrambling to put out fires, and Lu Ye was also frantically busy, hastening the construction speed.

Tired!

Extremely tired!

More exhausting than when Lu Ye became the Emperor and settled the dark chaos, with eight women coming over to congratulate him for ten years.

More tiring than any fierce battle.

Lu Ye’s spirit was stretched to its limit.

The Emperor Weapons were decreasing one by one, the Chaos Treasures were also starting to vanish, and even rare items were being devoured.

The crystalline structures had covered a large portion of the embryonic world, reaching eighty percent coverage.

The parts of the world not covered in crystals exploded and fused together, looking like a crown ablaze.

Lu Ye dashed into the explosions.

The Dao could no longer comfort, and the energy had gone completely berserk at this moment.

They wanted to erupt, want to go wild, want to burn to the extreme, want to destroy themselves.

Lu Ye continued building the nest amidst the explosions and flames; even if another grand explosion could happen at any moment, his speed in constructing the nest only increased.

Lu Ye took out the Endless Emperor’s treasures, continuing to refine them.

The crystalline structures twisted in the flames and explosions.

Until finally, the entire embryonic world was covered in crystals.

The Saint’s heart had completely turned to dust!

“Boom!”
