Chapter 671: Self-Detonation Celestial Lord

One can only say that the Demon Ancestor is truly a powerful figure that emerged from the dark times.

Just a single phrase from the Darkness Origin allowed me to connect all the dots in a flash.

It seems that the Darkness Origin had mostly surrendered.

So he had to leave immediately.

Otherwise, once Lu Ye made his move, he and the Darkness Celestial Lord would definitely be the ones getting cleaned up.

As for why he didn’t inform the Darkness Celestial Lord?

Quite simple.

The attention drawn by one person fleeing is certainly less than that of two people trying to escape.

As the saying goes, “A dead fellow Daoist is not a concern for this priest.”

If he was already planning to escape this space, what does it matter if the Darkness Celestial Lord lives or dies?

The Demon Ancestor made a hasty retreat.

He arrived at the barrier of Heavens and Earth.

The once complex and chaotic barriers were now slowly healing.

However, it was still possible to break through.

Gathering all his strength, the Demon Ancestor unleashed a terrifying surge of demonic light upon the barrier.

The not completely healed barrier cracked open a hole the size of a fist, and the Demon Ancestor transformed into a wisp of black smoke, vanishing between the Heavens and Earth.

Yep, this place was way too dangerous.

It felt like the arrival of a catastrophe.

For a long time, not even a Great Emperor had fallen, and now even the Celestial Lords’ demise felt like a joke.

Such a scene felt eerily familiar.

It was as if similar things had happened in past eras.

This was a harbinger of a massive upheaval; every time a Saint appeared, such phenomena followed.

The strong become like rootless duckweed, wilting under the looming upheaval.

You never know when they might be squashed under the chaos.

Another Saint is about to emerge.

And the Demon Ancestor had a strong feeling that this upcoming Saint would be the most powerful one ever.

That’s right, it’s Lu Ye!

But no matter what, at least he was finally free.

Just as the Demon Ancestor escaped the Heavens and Earth, he felt his body suddenly stiffen; this rigidity was due to an overwhelmingly terrifying aura that shrouded him, causing his body to freeze and his soul to feel solidified.

Woah… what a terrifying presence…

A Saint…

No, not just one or two Saints.

But five, ten, fifteen…

The Demon Ancestor held his breath, his eyes wide in shock.

Undeniably, at this moment, he really wanted to curse.

What the heck are you all doing?

A peerless beauty appeared beside the Demon Ancestor, looking at him with slightly furrowed brows, then became indifferent.

“Perfect timing, lend me a hand!”

The Crimson Dust Saint casually slapped the Demon Ancestor, leaving a red mark on his forehead.

In that instant, the Demon Ancestor clearly felt that his life and death were no longer in his own hands; he had to obey. Only by obeying could he have a chance to survive.

“You take the right flank damage!” the Crimson Dust Saint said coldly.

The Demon Ancestor…

He looked at these Saints.

Me?? Take on a Saint’s attack???

The Demon Ancestor felt like crying but didn’t have the tears. If he had known, he wouldn’t have come out; what in the world is happening here?!

But he had no choice!

…

Lu Ye had a good guess that the Demon Ancestor had run away, but he didn’t have the time to deal with the Demon Clan. Since the Demon Ancestor fled, let him go.

After all, it was probably even more dangerous outside of the Heavens and Earth.

Lu Ye was now caught up in a fierce battle.

The Derived World now knew that a top-tier powerhouse had emerged from the Primordial World, strong enough to kill ordinary Celestial Lords in an instant.

In this situation, they quickly found a way to resolve the issue.

That was the strongest unified strike from the Forbidden Lands.

Not only that, but the terrifying self-detonation of a Celestial Lord as well.

Not to mention the blessings of Saints.

In short, everything that could maximize their power would be used.

“Boom!”

When the first Celestial Lord, filled with pain and despair in his eyes, initiated self-detonation…

Even Lu Ye was left utterly stunned; it was just too absurd.

This was a Celestial Lord!

Not some random nobody!

Just how loyal could one be to trigger a self-detonation like this?

In this scenario, even Lu Ye sustained terrifying damage, and the catastrophic destructive force swept through the entire realm, creating a radiant sphere brighter than the sun.

Lu Ye’s body turned to dried meat, suffering the worst injuries.

This Celestial Lord didn’t just self-detonate; it mixed in with the power of Saints, launching a violent attack on Lu Ye’s Dao Fruit.

Thankfully, Lu Ye’s Dao Fruit was a world, with immense resilience, otherwise, it would’ve shattered under such an assault from the Saint’s power.

The other Celestial Lords had obviously foreseen this, swiftly avoiding the fallout.

After the self-detonation, seizing the opportunity while Lu Ye was wounded, they attacked in unison, determined to obliterate Lu Ye.

These four were all top-tier Celestial Lords.

According to the terms of the Derived World, these individuals could even be called quasi-Saints.

Their strength had surpassed that of the Reincarnation Celestial Lord from the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

They were probably on par with the Human Emperor’s level.

By the way, it seemed that the Heavenly Emperor and the Indestructible Celestial Lord had undergone their tribulation in the River of Time; they must have ultimately failed, otherwise, there wouldn’t be a complete lack of news from them.

Lu Ye really wished for their success.

If that were the case, the pressure from the Saints outside the Heavens and Earth would drastically decrease.

However, unfortunately, human effort always has limits.

Failing to become a Saint means just that; even being granted the status of a Saint wouldn’t allow one to ascend to a true Saint.

Lu Ye finally felt the immense pressure, and upon closer inspection, he discovered the clue.

Some of the so-called Celestial Lords were more like puppets, birthed and dependent on the Saints.

How to put it?

The original world’s Saints certainly wouldn’t want to engage in such exhausting and thankless work.

But the Saints from the Derived World might not think so.

Now, this self-detonation type of Celestial Lord should be their trump card.

The effect was truly remarkable.

Lu Ye took precautions and began to inch towards these four top-tier Celestial Lords.

However, he underestimated the self-detonating Celestial Lords; even their own top-tier Celestial Lords didn’t hold back on self-detonation.

“Boom!”

Lu Ye’s body was completely shattered.

The power of the Saint within the self-detonation created a genuine Saint-level strike.

It forcefully obliterated Lu Ye’s body, leaving him with just a Dao Fruit to escape.

Of course, the affected top-tier Celestial Lords were also reduced to nothingness in an instant.

Lu Ye quickly began to recover; with no other options, he had to choose to flee temporarily.

Alright, so that’s how we’re playing it, huh?

I didn’t even want to break through, but if you guys keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to break through.

“Help me!”

The Primordial Dao Lord shouted angrily.

Instantly, the Primordial Dao Lord charged forward with four Celestial Lords to intercept their pursuers.
