It’s all about the kill!
Endless killing!
Killing is a state; when in the state of slaughter, one’s urge to kill keeps growing.
Until in the end, you can’t even stop.
Lu Ye gradually fell into this state.
Thankfully, there were just a couple hundred thousand zombies.
By the end, not a single standing zombie remained in the city, and Lu Ye couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
So refreshing!
His physical body, after such a slaughter, absorbed a massive amount of Law fragments, nearly doubling in strength.
Quite a terrifying improvement.
After taking a moment to recover, Lu Ye used a Source Stone to restore his Primordial Force.
Strong people must have already entered the center area.
Lu Ye estimated his strength; he figured he was only suitable for combat in cities ranked below fifty.
He even felt that he could fight without claiming treasures, as these Law fragments were basically the best treasure in the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse.
An upgrade in physicality is still an upgrade in strength.
Moreover, using these Law fragments to enhance his physical strength has basically no upper limit.
If you could absorb all of the Heavenly Corpse’s Laws, you might even get your body close to that of a Celestial Lord.
Obviously, that’s not very likely.
Lu Ye moved on to his second location.
After he left, two Great Dao Realm cultivators who had been passing by saw the scene and promptly stopped, exchanging puzzled glances.
Something feels off!
A hundred things feel off!
Even if one is a habitual killer, it shouldn’t be this extreme, right?
They had already fled, but then turned back to kill.
“What could he possibly gain from this slaughter?” one of the Great Dao Realm cultivators asked, confused.
“The benefits must outweigh the treasures he’s seeking!”
“Then this just got interesting. Should we issue a warrant so our sect can capture him on sight?”
“Don’t you think it’s better if we get him rather than letting our sect have him?”
“Good point. Where do you think he headed?”
Lotus Mistzi pulled out a map and analyzed, “His strength isn’t high enough to face a Great Dao Realm opponent, so if he wants to kill, he has to choose weak areas with enough zombies.”
“These three places are the most likely!”
Bright Moonzi nodded.
“Let’s hide a bit; his escape methods are rather potent, so one perfect strike is the way to go!”
Lu Ye remained unaware that the two Great Dao cultivators had already locked onto his secret and were hot on his trail.
They really are quite sharp.
Just as they suspected, Lu Ye was searching for an appropriate place to continue his slaughter.
Soon, he received a warning from Dark Yaner.
“Nine Lives, those two Great Dao cultivators are coming back again.”
Lu Ye began to feel a bit irritated. The area he was slaughtering in had already been cleared by stronger beings; there were no treasures,
just zombies.
It seems those two Great Dao cultivators had set their sights on him.
Just wait a bit longer, let me improve a bit.
Lu Ye took a deep breath and quickly fled.
By the time Lotus Mistzi and Bright Moonzi arrived, Lu Ye had vanished without a trace.
Yet, when the two looked at the lingering sword energy from the battle, they understood Lu Ye had just been there.
“He has a way to detect us early!” Bright Moonzi frowned.
“This is tricky; a Void Realm cultivator with so many tricks?”
“Let’s lie in wait and see!”
“Alright!”
Lu Ye escaped to a relatively safe place.
“Nine Lives, those two are hiding in place, waiting to reel you in,” Dark Yaner said with a grin.
Lu Ye clenched his fists.
“Let them wait; I’m changing places!”
Lu Ye suppressed his urge to kill and planned to improve his strength first.
After moving to a new spot and continuing his slaughter, the two Great Dao cultivators began to get impatient.
“He must have changed locations; let’s split up and encircle him from two directions. We need to act fast and not give him a chance to escape!”
Bright Moonzi nodded.
“Got it!”
They picked new spots and continued their pursuit of Lu Ye.
However, they didn’t choose the right location this time; they weren’t in a hurry and quickly found another place.
Lu Ye received a warning from Dark Yaner.
His eyes filled with killing intent.
A Great Dao Realm, huh?
Let’s try once more!
Lu Ye’s figure transformed into a flash of light and vanished; he wasn’t entirely sure if his Celestial Lord Fist could kill a Great Dao Realm, but you know what they say—once bitten, twice shy!
“He got away again; this guy’s senses are incredibly sharp!”
Lotus Mistzi fumed.
“What now? We came here to find treasures and resources, not to play cat and mouse! Should we keep going?” Bright Moonzi asked.
Lotus Mistzi’s face was extremely grim.
He pondered.
Should they keep pressing on?
This guy slipped away like a mudfish!
“One last time!”
“If we don’t get him this time, we’ll focus on treasure hunting!” Lotus Mistzi said coldly.
“Alright!”
Lu Ye’s patience had reached its limit.
These two were clearly from the same faction, inexplicably fixating on him.
He just wanted to enjoy some simple slaughter; why push him like this?
A Great Dao Realm, huh?
Lu Ye knew very well what kind of power a Great Dao Realm held; he wasn’t a stranger to achieving it in his past life.
In the Great Dao Realm, one essentially cultivates a Dao to its utmost peak, where a single attack contains the force of that entire Dao.
That’s why Lu Ye was unsure if he could triumph over a Great Dao Realm.
The gap was simply too vast.
But when he considered his Celestial Lord Fist,
if he unleashed it with full power,
he probably wouldn’t kill a top-notch Great Dao Realm or one good at defense.
Are those two top-notch Great Dao cultivators?
“Dark Yaner, as soon as those two enter your range, let me know instantly!”
“Nine Lives, just call me Yaner; they are currently approaching you from two directions.”
“How far away?”
“Thirty thousand miles.”
Not too far, thanks to the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse’s peculiarity; even a Great Dao Realm cultivator can’t traverse vast space like in the Void Realm here in an instant.
Everything here, including space and earth, was reinforced; otherwise, battles between Great Dao Realm cultivators would shatter the whole place.
“Alright!”
Lu Ye could no longer contain his killing intent and instantly vanished.
He charged toward one of the two!
As he surged forward, his aura began to strengthen, horrific Primordial Force gathering in his right arm; his body turned bright red then returned to normal.
Only his right arm remained eye-blindingly red.
It had been ages since he last used his Celestial Lord Fist.
The last time was quite a while ago.
All the Daos flowed into his right arm like dragons and snakes.
Celestial Lord Fist, gathering myriad Daos.
The two quickly closed the distance.
Thanks to the white mist, the two only truly spotted each other when they were six thousand miles apart.
Lotus Mistzi froze and then became thrilled.
Wait, is he trying to solo me?
Oh, ho ho, this secret just fell into my lap!
Hahaha, awesome!
