Chapter 574: Sea of Blood Celestial Lord

As Lu Ye underwent his glorious and magnificent evolution, time continued to pass.

The Darkness Origin was now only doing two things: learning and helping Lu Ye with tasks.

This is what they call learning while working, working until old, learning until old – a lifetime of education!

The entire Nine Heavens seemed to have quieted down.

The Dark Clan waited patiently for Lu Ye’s strength to grow, while the high ranks of all sects diligently practiced, hoping to receive Lu Ye’s guidance.

Finally, a day arrived.

Within the Darkness Origin, as waves of sound erupted like the sea, a pervasive stench of blood filled the entire Darkness Origin. Many quasi-emperors, who had been sleeping in the Darkness Origin, felt their blood inside becoming extremely unstable due to the smell.

In just a moment, blood began to seep from their bodies, flying towards the depths of the Darkness Origin.

Not just the quasi-emperors—Great Emperors experienced the same.

Their blood was uncontrollable at that moment.

The Darkness Origin instantly retracted Lu Ye’s Dao, transforming into a mass of black mist that appeared deep within.

Usually, if the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord did this sort of thing, he’d definitely shout a warning because these were his men. Many were injured and in slumber, and to treat them this way would just make their suffering worse!

But right now?

The more we absorb, the better! Just this little bit of blood is nothing—if outsiders saw this, they’d think we couldn’t even handle it!

Everyone, drain it dry! Suck harder!

The Darkness Origin appeared not far from the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord.

At that moment, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord was barely human-shaped, lacking facial features, his entire body composed of blood, with blood from all directions merging into him.

As he sat cross-legged, it seemed like he could see the most vast sea of blood.

Full of bloodiness, filled with malice, as if it was the dirtiest thing in the world.

The Darkness Origin stayed silent, waiting for the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord to speak first.

Whether it was an emperor or quasi-emperor, after the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord absorbed a mouthful of vital blood, his facial features emerged. He looked extremely aged, his face lined with wrinkles and the marks of time.

Despite his age, his vicious look was still evident.

Many people become more benevolent as they age.

But the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord was different; even in old age, he remained incredibly ferocious, and the older he got, the more savage he appeared.

“Long time no see,” the Sea of Blood said flatly.

“Long time no see, you still look terrifying as ever,” Darkness Origin spoke bluntly.

“How are things in the Nine Heavens?” The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord didn’t have the energy to waste on small talk and asked directly.

“It’s the same as always. Recently, the rules left by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens crushed an emperor. Other than that, nothing has really happened. Oh, and the Innate Demon Infant, don’t know what got into him, went off to devour in the outer realm by himself, but ended up getting killed by a coalition of outer emperors.”

Discussing matters lower than the emperor level with the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord was pointless; he wouldn’t care.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord nodded lightly.

“Are there any signs that the rules of the Nine Heavens are weakening?” he asked.

“Nope, not at all. You didn’t see how the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens crushed that emperor; it was like squishing an ant—it was just helpless to witness.”

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord sighed softly.

Ah, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens…

His figure then disappeared.

“Wait for me!”

The Darkness Origin immediately followed suit.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord stepped out of the Darkness Origin and onto the Nine Heavens.

Between the Eighth and Ninth Heavens, for special reasons, emperors can briefly enter but cannot stay long—like when a Celestial Lord is lecturing, there might be emperors rushing up to listen.

Overall, the Nine Heavens is almost like a relatively stagnant space; time seems to lose much of its meaning there because aside from Celestial Lords and a few of their servants or family members, there’s hardly anyone else.

As soon as the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord left the Darkness Origin, his appearance rapidly aged once more.

He even coughed a couple of times.

His energy was truly dwindling.

He looked like someone whose oil was running out.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord gazed ahead, as if he could see the entirety of the Nine Heavens.

“So? Should we try to push against the laws of the Nine Heavens?” asked the Darkness Origin, sounding eager.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord remained silent.

“Let’s wait a bit longer, until my final moments.”

The Darkness Origin sighed regretfully.

“Recently, have any Tianjiao appeared that can match the former Nine Heavens?” asked the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord.

“Well, there is one Tianjiao whose strength is decent, but he wouldn’t catch your eye just yet—he just ascended to the Seventh Heaven; it’s still too soon,” the Darkness Origin revealed without holding back.

That much was true.

Not everyone can lie in front of a Celestial Lord. The Darkness Origin could certainly lie, but who knows what means the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord has, so it’s better to be straightforward.

“Lu Ye…”

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord mumbled this name.

Darkness Origin: ???

Wow!

How did the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord find out?

Impressive!

“It’s this guy who’s made me suffer several times. What? You want to deal with him?” the Darkness Origin said excitedly.

“Might be worth keeping an eye on.”

Although the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord called out Lu Ye’s name, it was clear that he really didn’t know how to handle Lu Ye.

But Lu Ye had already become his target.

Suddenly, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord furrowed his brows, his eyes widening slightly.

It seemed he had discovered something incredible.

“Rebirth?” The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord uttered those two words.

Darkness Origin…

How did this old fellow manage to grasp that?

He even caught onto the concept of rebirth?!

“It is rebirth,” the Darkness Origin confirmed.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this?” The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s voice was a bit cold.

“You didn’t ask me!” the Darkness Origin said defiantly.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord shot a cold glance at the Darkness Origin.

But he couldn’t really do anything to him.

“So this Lu Ye, in his previous life was a top-tier Celestial Lord, one who failed a tribulation?” the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord asked.

“Yep! But he doesn’t remember anything after his rebirth. I only found out about it because I worked with one of the women who had also been reborn,” the Darkness Origin explained.

“And before his rebirth, what was my fate?” the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord asked.

“I wouldn’t know, I don’t have that much detail. But if you want to know, I can help you ask around,” the Darkness Origin offered.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord took a deep breath, digesting the mountain of information. He hadn’t expected that this awakening would lead to such news.

How exactly did the rebirth happen?

How could there be rebirth?
