Chapter 592: There Are Traitors

“Fellow Daoist, we have no grudges against each other.”

The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord felt an immense pressure emanating from the Primordial Dao Lord.

This Primordial Dao Lord was somewhat unfamiliar to him, one of the newer generation of Celestial Lords.

Why was he so strong?

Facing the Primordial Dao Lord felt like facing the Demon Ancestor—utterly oppressive.

“If I randomly attack you now, wouldn’t that just create a grudge?” the Primordial Dao Lord asked.

The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord fumed.

However, he held back in striking; the Primordial Dao Lord had grown impatient.

“Are you going to make a move or not? If not, then crawl back into your Darkness Origin.”

“Fellow Daoist, that’s a bit too much!”

The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was genuinely angry—this was blatant bullying!

“Too much chatter!”

A beam of sword light whistled through the air, cutting through the heavens and earth, and ruthlessly attacked the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord.

The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord…

Wait, no!

He suddenly retaliated, and the two Celestial Lords erupted into battle.

In truth, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was not adapting well to this. Past dark upheavals hadn’t led to Celestial Lords fighting like this; most of them just kept to themselves. Even if there were one or two reckless ones, they were easy to ignore.

What was wrong with this era?

The dark upheaval hadn’t even started yet, and two Celestial Lords were already taking the initiative to attack. Weren’t they afraid that their own desperate situations would lead to their downfall?

They had no idea that the atmosphere in the world had changed.

People used to protect themselves because they feared that those in despair might come after them, dragging them down the road together.

So, whenever strong beings were on their last legs, others could act freely.

But now?

You’re already on the edge, and I’m in my prime; you think I’m scared of you?

Evidently, this attitude stemmed from the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

Although the deeds of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens weren’t known, the few snippets that remained hinted at something big.

As soon as the battle began, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord’s face changed drastically.

No way, he couldn’t win!

The four chaotic sword lights sealed the heavens and earth, creating a world of their own, and in just a moment, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was drenched in blood.

Whenever the Primordial Dao Lord made a move, it was aimed to bring the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord to his doom.

One sword struck the Dao, one cut cultivation, one severed the origin, and one sliced the physical body.

It could be said that fighting the Primordial Dao Lord only weakened the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord further and further; it was a tragic sight indeed.

The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was done with this.

There was no point; looking at this reckless youth, even his final moments of enlightenment wouldn’t scare the opponent.

He wasn’t at the end of his rope—he could help the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord if he wanted to, but clearly, he couldn’t help now, so why bother?

Time to retreat!

Sudden fury surged through the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord as he tore apart the realm formed by the four chaotic swords and dashed back into the Nine Heavens, disappearing into the Darkness Origin.

The Primordial Dao Lord wasn’t finished yet, however, and cast a devious glance at the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord.

The battle between the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord and the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord was unlike any ordinary fight; it was a full-blown war.

The Sea of Blood churned like it could drown the entire world.

The thick stench of blood filled the air, overwhelming enough to induce a sense of suffocation.

The departure of the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord infuriated the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord.

“Damn it!”

“Damn it!”

Their plan to break the Nine Heavens Rules with the help of the Sky Stiff was a complete failure.

This failure accelerated the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s collapse; initially, if he had gone into slumber, he might have survived for almost ten thousand years, but now, it was down to…

A hundred years!

Of course, he still had the power for final enlightenment.

But what good would that do? It would just be a garment for someone else.

Out in the vast wilderness, it was already a stroke of luck to have captured a Great Emperor; finding a lot of beings out there might just end up with absorbing more origin than the amount consumed.

What else could be done?

The Primordial Dao Lord was growing restless; he knew if he chose to team up against the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord, the Darkness Origin would definitely not sit idly by, possibly provoking the Demon Ancestor into battle.

It might even draw out the Darkness Celestial Lord.

The Darkness Celestial Lord was the oldest among the Celestial Lords, and no one could guarantee what level his combat power was at.

Only the Reincarnation Celestial Lord might stand a chance against him.

But would the Reincarnation Celestial Lord be willing to intervene?

Not necessarily.

If it weren’t for the changes in the River of Time, he might have even pulled the Qing Long in for a great showdown.

Just when the Primordial Dao Lord was pondering whether to explode the Sea of Blood, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord let out a chilling roar.

“Forgetful, I’ll remember you!”

The Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord chuckled coldly.

“Remember this: drag me along when you kick the bucket!”

Did the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord fear this threat?

If it weren’t for someone making sure he lived a little longer, he would have already followed the other person.

If that guy tried to take him down with him before dying, all the better!

Come on, let’s see who is afraid of who!

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord retreated, and the Sky Stiff let out a furious roar, wanting to chase, but was obstructed by the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord, drawing the ire to himself and leading the Sky Stiff back to the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse.

Back in the Darkness Origin, the plan failed miserably.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord was furious.

He couldn’t understand why, in his secret search for the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse, he would stumble into the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord?

If he hadn’t run into him early, and found the Sky Stiff before these Celestial Lords caught wind, the Sky Stiff would have already been engaged in a fight with the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

This was no coincidence!

There had to be an insider!

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s gaze turned ominous as he looked at the various Great Emperors and Quasi-Emperors.

Who was the insider?

Who was the traitor?

“I quietly went to the wilderness to seek the Sky Stiff, who leaked this information?” The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord shouted angrily, his face dark.

“Nine Lives, not good, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord has noticed an insider; could he be suspecting me?” The Darkness Origin exclaimed in shock.

Lu Ye also furrowed his brow.

He looked at the altar before him.

“If he is suspicious, immediately hand him the Dark Beginning Insect Seal.”

“Sure, let’s hope the old Sea of Blood isn’t too clever; I am the Darkness Origin, and I’m in constant conflict with the Heavenly Dao, how could I possibly betray him?”

“Could it be Heavenly Blood?” The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s gaze fell once again on the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor.

At this moment, the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor looked pale as a ghost.

As soon as he sensed the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s gaze, his expression changed drastically.

“It’s not me, I…”

But before he could finish, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord had already angrily struck.

“It must be you! Just because I took a bit of your Heavenly Blood, you hold a grudge and betray the Darkness Origin! You’re asking for death!”

The Heavenly Blood Great Emperor…

“What the hell%&*#@…”
