Chapter 516: Big Moves from the Dark Clan

The reason this poison hasn’t exploded yet is that Lu Ye’s strength isn’t sufficient.

Once he reaches a certain limit, that’s when the poison will blow up.

“We won!”

The members of the Dark Clan were a bit pumped.

“Elder of the Five Elements is getting stronger, he might even become a Great Emperor like the clan leader. When that happens, our Dark Clan will be even more powerful, with divine beings…”

“Boom!”

The speaker was suddenly sent flying.

“Watch your words!”

“If you keep blabbering, you’re dead!”

The emotional members of the Dark Clan promptly dropped to their knees.

“Please forgive us!”

Lu Ye’s expression mirrored that of the other Dark Clan members—first excitement, then shock, and finally a submissive demeanor.

“We’re outside, not in the Dark Clan. You should know what to say and what not to say!”

“Yes!”

“Let’s go collect treasures!”

A group quickly entered the city to search for treasures.

Lu Ye initially thought that the treasures they collected would belong to him since they were fellow clansmen; after all, if the elder gets the meat, the lower ranks should at least get a sip of the soup.

To his surprise, everything collected had to be handed over.

All these things belonged to the Dark Clan, not individuals.

Looking at the Dark Clan members, when they handed over the treasures, there wasn’t any dissatisfaction; their eyes sparkled with excitement and fervor.

Lu Ye also showed the same behavior, giving away the treasures he had just collected.

The Dark Clan is gearing up for something big?

Handing over all the treasures meant they had a significant funding gap—this had to be a major event.

“Next location!”

The members of the Dark Clan moved out.

Lu Ye followed along.

And kept following for half a month.

Even though the Dark Clan was consciously avoiding some topics, Lu Ye still picked up on things.

The conditions for the divine being of the Dark Clan to descend had appeared.

Thus, the Dark Clan was collecting everything they could to prepare for a grand ritual to welcome the divine being’s arrival.

The Dark Clan hadn’t done anything like this in his previous life.

Since things had changed, he needed to find the factors behind it; the Dark Clan’s changes were undoubtedly related to An Li’s transformation.

This eighth poison within him must be connected to the divine being of the Dark Clan.

If Lu Ye’s guess was right, he was being used as a vessel for the divine being’s descent. When the eighth poison erupted, maybe the divine being could find a way to descend through the poison in him, replacing him.

But they needed a grand ritual.

It seemed the divine being wanted to descend on him, so preparations wouldn’t be minimal.

If he waited any longer, Lu Ye wouldn’t be able to get any more clues.

So, he found an excuse to leave.

The Seventh Heaven!

What kind of terrifying battle awaited him the moment he ascended to the Seventh Heaven?

How many Quasi-Emperors would show up?

The Dark Clan would definitely be there.

And those other Quasi-Emperors who had gone mad in their quest to become Emperors.

Just a Heavenly Gate wouldn’t be enough to protect him.

Lu Ye didn’t have any good plans; he could only join in the fight against zombies to boost his physical strength faster.

Finally, after eight months.

With a tremendous roar, Lu Ye’s physique radiated an incredibly strong wave, reaching the eighth tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Undying Body.

At this moment, his physical strength alone could battle in the Shattering Realm.

Plus, with the Primordial Force.

Within the Great Dao Realm, it should be hard for anyone to rival him.

He had also gathered a good stash of resources here.

Lu Ye was acutely aware; it was time to head back.

Before returning, he had some revenge to take!

The two powerful individuals he remembered attacking him, he had Dark Yaner track them down.

“Alright, Nine Lives, you’ve worked long enough, it’s time to rest,” Dark Yaner said sweetly.

Lu Ye…

For nearly a year, Dark Yaner had been right by Lu Ye’s side, saying little, but every word was so considerate.

At first, Lu Ye suspected Dark Yaner had been possessed.

But later, he actually got used to it.

Seven months ago, Lu Ye furrowed his brow and scolded her a bit because every single thing she said made him uncomfortable.

Five months ago, he felt helpless and scolded her to stop being so weird, but he reduced the number of scoldings.

He understood that Dark Yaner wanted to deepen their connection; the Darkness Origin tends to gravitate towards beneficial relationships, thinking since she had submitted to him as her master, she had to strengthen their bond.

Three months ago, Lu Ye had basically gotten used to Dark Yaner’s way of speaking, and once he did, he had to admit, she was genuinely caring.

Up until now, Lu Ye had finally sensed something off after a long time.

The White Fox Law Three: Gradual progression, step by step, eliminate resistance, adapt to existence.

Dark Yaner wasn’t just caring; she also occasionally exuded charm, sometimes sitting next to Lu Ye while casually adjusting her outfit, inadvertently showcasing her impressive figure.

Despite her appearance being fixed, Dark Yaner switched wardrobes like it was nobody’s business.

Over the past year, Lu Ye estimated Dark Yaner had changed outfits at least two hundred times.

“Let’s head back; if we don’t hurry, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens might come to check on me,” Lu Ye said.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“This time your physical body improved dozens of times, and you scored a massive loot haul. Truly impressive,” Dark Yaner praised.

Looking into Lu Ye’s eyes, they shone like starlight.

But Lu Ye shook his head, “You don’t need to try and flatter me; there wasn’t anything particularly huge from this outing.”

In the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse, the stronger you were, the better the gains.

Lu Ye’s strength wasn’t up to par, so he couldn’t even enter the core areas.

He could only loiter around the edges and mid-zone.

The loot really wasn’t that great.

“But it’s still impressive! Don’t mention the Void Realm or Shattering Realm; even in the Great Dao Realm, your haul likely dwarfs theirs,” Dark Yaner argued.

“What I’m comparing against isn’t just the Great Dao Realm!”

“Still impressive!”

Lu Ye chuckled in disbelief.

Damn it, this Darkness Origin!

Soon, Lu Ye found those two strong opponents who had previously attacked him.

He swiftly annihilated them and quickly made his escape.

Just as he exited the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse, Lu Ye felt at least a hundred divine senses land on him.

Lu Ye…

There were clearly people lying in wait out there; he just didn’t expect so many of them.

However, once they noticed that Lu Ye was just at the Void Realm, dozens of divine senses dispersed and lost interest in him.

An ordinary Void Realm was only worth picking up a few scraps; not worth the effort.

Lu Ye didn’t want to linger either and immediately unleashed a flash of blood light, vanishing into the vast void.

At the moment the blood light appeared, almost all divine senses completely retracted.

Not worth it.

So, there are benefits to being at the Void Realm too.
