Chapter 555: Terrifying Advancement

Infinite Daoist and the Devouring Dao Beast were trading banter.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

You guys are really putting me through the wringer!

Lu Ye indeed had no choice but to accept after declining three times.

“Alright, alright, I thank all my fellow Daoists! Your kindness, I will remember!”

With this large batch of Four Spirits Treasures in hand, Lu Ye was now able to set up a big formation derived from his system.

To be honest, Lu Ye’s strength could really be attributed to the countless simulations from the system, while the Darkness Origin continuously contributed as well; however, the system’s contribution was at least ten thousand times greater, if not billions.

The system was truly assisting Lu Ye in every possible way.

What these Quasi-Emperors did genuinely made Lu Ye feel at ease.

He couldn’t help but reflect on his past life.

In his previous life, he had connections with countless factions, yet when Lu Ye was at his lowest, there were no factions willing to lend a hand.

Forget about actively helping; Lu Ye couldn’t even collect his debts.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye glanced around to ensure no one was watching and gently slapped his own face.

Hmm, not painful!

Lu Ye found the largest cultivation spot at the Heavenly Gate and temporarily shooed everyone away.

He pulled out a mountain of treasures that had been streaming into his possession recently.

So many!

Just an absurd amount!

Lu Ye stared at the pile of treasures that resembled a little mountain, shifting in beautiful four-colored light.

He began to set up the formation.

This formation was named the Four Spirits Transforming Saint Formation.

Originally it was a formation meant to dramatically boost power with the cooperation of the Four Spirits, but after modification, it transformed into a formation for refining the Four Spirits into Primordial Energy.

The formation was incredibly complex and profound, but in Lu Ye’s hands, it was still relatively easy.

Lu Ye wasn’t in a hurry as he set it up piece by piece.

Soon enough, the vast ground was covered with various treasures.

With Lu Ye’s Primordial Force being infused, beams of light shot up immediately.

A gigantic formation was activated.

Lu Ye looked at this formation, unable to suppress a satisfied smile; it had been ages since he set up such a sophisticated formation, and this one was quite perfect.

Casually, he took the Four Spirits Treasures and tossed them into the formation.

Brilliant four-colored spiritual light exploded forth, each color reflecting beautifully.

The treasures began to melt within the formation.

Lu Ye continuously tossed more treasures in, the four colors shifting and changing, his attention locked on.

At this moment, a wondrous reaction occurred; amidst the constant entanglement of the Four Spirits’ forces, a strand of special energy emerged, resembling the very essence of the world’s origin.

Normally, cultivators wouldn’t need such origin energy because they weren’t the heavens and earth themselves; using such energy wouldn’t provide much enhancement, let alone using so many Four Spirits Treasures to refine it.

This energy even had little effect on the already formed heavens and earth.

However, the moment Lu Ye absorbed this strand of energy and merged it into that world filled with destruction, flames began to vanish in mass.

It was as if the flames had met cold water.

A vast power of rebirth surged forth.

Lu Ye let out a muffled grunt as blood burst rapidly from his body.

But the wounds healed almost instantly.

Endless spiritual energy from the heavens and earth surged toward Lu Ye.

For a moment, his face contorted.

At that instant, it was as if his Nascent Soul was inflating like a balloon; everything within him was undergoing drastic changes, and his cultivation soared as if riding a rocket.

However, Lu Ye clearly understood what he needed to do.

He wanted to kill the Dark Clan’s Great Emperor when he reached the Ruler Realm, so he couldn’t let his cultivation rise too much now.

If he couldn’t eliminate the Great Emperor at the Ruler Realm, his options would dwindle tremendously, and he might even have to wait for the dark chaos of ten thousand years later to break through to Quasi-Emperor.

Lu Ye certainly didn’t want to go that route.

It was far too frustrating.

So he had to compress!

This compression of realms was a last resort.

Lu Ye wasn’t fond of this feeling; his desire to kill the Dark Clan was only intensifying during this process.

An Li!

Dark Clan!

The four-colored light continued to swirl; every so often, a peculiar breath would blend into the small world within Lu Ye’s body.

Perhaps describing it as a small world wasn’t quite right; it was more appropriate to call it a world.

A complete big world!

The heart of a Saint!

This time, due to the abundance of resources, Lu Ye remained in seclusion for a solid three hundred years.

Three hundred years, and the flames within Lu Ye’s world were reduced by one percent.

Even though the original force created by the Four Spirits’ power was gone afterward, the rebirth speed of the world clearly accelerated.

Without external forces, this world would likely be fully reborn in about a million years or so.

It wasn’t an overly long time, but Lu Ye certainly couldn’t wait; he would definitely keep searching for resources.

This was a world, not some trifling thing.

According to the current evolution of the world, the speed of new life would only increase.

Lu Ye’s realm had already reached Great Dao Realm!

Great Dao Realm, Fifth Heaven.

Lu Ye couldn’t even recall how many times he had gone through transformations or compressed his Chaos Power.

All he knew was that the intensity of his Chaos Power now surpassed that of a Quasi-Emperor.

So close!

Just a tiny bit more, and Lu Ye’s Primordial Force would reach the level of a Great Emperor.

But Lu Ye wasn’t disappointed.

His fists clenched as boundless energy converged onto them, the space around his fist already fracturing, and chaotic energy swirling around.

And it wasn’t over yet.

Suddenly, an enormous torrent erupted from the small world, an infinite Chaos Power born of new life converging onto Lu Ye’s fist.

At that moment, all the Quasi-Emperors at the Heavenly Gate opened their eyes wide in shock, staring towards Lu Ye’s location.

What kind of aura is that?

Over there with Lu Ye?

Figures rushed over, thinking Lu Ye was in danger; the Devouring Dao Beast was the fastest, charging into Lu Ye’s seclusion spot with a fierce look.

But as soon as it burst in, the terrifying aura had already vanished.

Only Lu Ye sat cross-legged, his expression calm.

“Celestial Lord, what just happened? Are you alright?” The Devouring Dao Beast, fueled by fighting spirit, asked with genuine concern.

Lu Ye revealed a slight smile.

This Devouring Dao Beast’s eagerness to improve was quite evident!

But that was fine, openly displaying loyalty was pretty nice!

“I’m fine, I was just experimenting with something; it wasn’t anyone else who showed up,” Lu Ye explained.

“Oh… So that terrifying aura came from you, Celestial Lord?” The Devouring Dao Beast reacted, its eyes wide open.

You could say the emotional stakes had reached a peak.

Lu Ye…

This Devouring Dao Beast…

The other Celestial Lords were also astonished.

Because that aura had instilled terror in all the Quasi-Emperors; if that energy had landed on them, they probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.

It was actually created by Lu Ye?

Keep in mind, Lu Ye’s realm was still Broken… huh?

Great Dao Realm, Fifth Heaven!!!

Huh?

The Quasi-Emperors, after realizing Lu Ye’s realm, displayed expressions of bewilderment.

Did this simple seclusion take one to two thousand years again?

No, it didn’t feel like it had been that long!

Infinite Daoist calculated with his fingers.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, did you just advance a whole realm in three hundred years?” Infinite Daoist was also visibly blown away, looking at Lu Ye in shock.
