Chapter 125: Death for a Thousand? (Five Updates)

“You people from the Grand Dao Sect sneaked into my Supreme Sword Sect and stole our Sword Mountain. Is this how you treat your allies?”

“My Supreme Sword Sect mobilized the whole sect, leaving only the old, weak, and sick behind, and yet you from the Grand Dao Sect chose to rob us while we were helping you?”

Li Wuyue’s voice was incredibly furious.

He was truly about to explode.

Liu Changfeng’s expression was extremely serious.

“Fellow Daoist, do not panic. You claim that someone from my Grand Dao Sect stole the Sword Mountain—who can confirm that?”

To be honest, Liu Changfeng didn’t believe Li Wuyue’s words.

Because the Grand Dao Sect was in a state of crisis, from the elders to the disciples, everyone was preparing for battle.

Who had the time to sneak over to the Supreme Sword Sect to cause trouble?

Li Wuyue waved his hand, and a light screen illuminated.

“Do you recognize this person?”

The image of Chu Ling appeared.

Some members of the Grand Dao Sect recognized her.

Including Ji Changming.

Liu Changfeng didn’t know her, but instinctively looked at Ji Changming.

If it were someone else, Ji Changming could have easily said he didn’t know her, but with Chu Ling, he needed to be cautious.

Because it seemed that Chu Ling had a complicated relationship with Lu Ye…

“Junior Brother, you should know her, right?” Liu Changfeng asked.

Ji Changming nodded.

“This lady is named Chu Ling, under Bai Lan Peak. She ranked second in the sect’s genius competition and apparently has an unclear relationship with Lu Ye.”

Li Wuyue’s fiery anger paused for a moment.

“Even if she has an unclear relationship with Lu Ye, she cannot treat her allies so harshly. That’s our Sword Mountain! If the Sword Mountain disappears, can we still call ourselves the Supreme Sword Sect?”

“Fellow Daoist, please calm down. We will immediately try to contact Chu Ling and Lu Ye. The Sword Mountain won’t disappear overnight; our Grand Dao Sect absolutely won’t infringe on our ally’s interests, and we will definitely stand on the side of justice!”

…

Naturally, Lu Ye had no idea what Chu Ling was up to, and honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

One person equals one life; Lu Ye hadn’t died in the matter at Chu Sword Mountain. The incident where he would die saving Chu Ling hadn’t happened yet.

As for Chu Ling…

Lu Ye didn’t want to comment too much.

What piqued his interest more were those people from the Buddha Sect.

Despite being expelled from the Great Wilderness, most disciples of the Buddha Sect were human, having secretly entered and brought people back.

Now, Lu Ye had driven the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor into the Buddha Realm, where the strength of the Buddha Realm’s practitioners appeared to be less affected by casualties compared to other alien races.

Lu Ye was ready for an all-out war.

Up ahead, it was indeed like that.

Even Lu Ye’s expression turned grave.

Because a massive Buddha, radiating boundless golden light, was sitting cross-legged in front of Lu Ye.

The terrifying pressure seemed to freeze the entire Buddha Realm.

This aura—Great Ascension Peak?

The Buddha Sect still had such an old relic around?

One man stood against one Buddha.

“Amitabha, the road ahead is blocked. Please take a detour, Fellow Daoist!”

Suddenly, silver-white light burst from Lu Ye’s eyes.

Another pupil seemed to appear in his gaze.

“Just an old relic left in the First Heaven!”

Indeed, this Buddha statue was merely to intimidate.

If it weren’t for Lu Ye’s ability and keen perception, he might have fallen for this Buddha statue’s trick.

It was truly real!

The Buddha statue’s expression changed slightly.

“Since you are stubborn and unyielding, I will suppress you!”

In that instant, the power of the Buddha statue rose even more terrifyingly, beyond what a Great Ascension Realm could display.

A colossal and real Buddha palm came heavily down towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye simply ignored it, transforming into a stream of light charging at the Buddha palm.

The Buddha palm came down with a crushing force against Lu Ye.

But at the moment of contact with Lu Ye’s body, everything turned to nothingness, and Lu Ye passed through the Buddha statue unhindered.

The Buddha Sect…

Was on the run!

They weren’t just starting to flee; they had clearly been running for quite some time, leaving only a handful of disciples behind.

Seeing this, Lu Ye felt somewhat emotional.

The Buddha Sect, indeed skilled at self-destruction, yet somehow still managed to survive as a sect.

Not to mention anything else, just their runaway skills and understanding of their own power far surpassed too many others.

They must be used to escaping.

Disasters always seemed to be one step behind the Buddha Sect.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor was at a loss.

With the entire Buddha Sect fleeing, he had no one left to parasitize. Shouldn’t this be his fault?

“Continue!”

The Vermilion Bird was struggling for rebirth from the ashes.

She watched the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor rush into the Ghost Realm to parasite, then into the Spirit Realm…

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor had lost track of just how many beings he had parasitized.

The newly parasitized body originally had powers at the Crossing Tribulation Third Stage but was rapidly increasing, now reaching the Fourth Stage.

He was currently in the most terrifying state of cultivation.

Given time, he could quickly ramp up to the Crossing Tribulation Ninth Stage again.

“What on earth does he want to do?”

The Vermilion Bird’s eyes widened, her fear increasingly evident.

She saw Lu Ye walking towards the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor.

Thinking he was about to get beaten up, the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor hurriedly protected his head.

“Puff puff!”

Two arms flew out.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor let out a wail.

“I’ve already followed your words, I’ve parasitized so many monsters and demons. Spare me, please spare me!”

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor wailed.

He truly could not take it anymore; he didn’t want to be beaten again.

That feeling of being ruthlessly trampled had caused immense damage to his psyche.

Lu Ye reached out his hand.

His palm rested on the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor’s head.

“One last trial; if you survive, then you live!”

As soon as his words fell, in an instant, the Reincarnation Obsession surged into the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor’s soul like a galaxy descending from the heavens.

Reincarnation, what an ancient term.

Throughout long ages, how much pain had never been resolved, ultimately not entering reincarnation, turning into obsession?

Too much, too much.

And now, Lu Ye aimed to find an outlet for that obsession.

Pouring it all into him.

“Ah…”

A painful scream erupted from the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor’s mouth.

Under the first wave of obsession’s impact, his soul was on the verge of complete collapse.

In that moment, he understood why Lu Ye was forcing him to parasitize so many beings.

Too many obsessions, too much pain.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor couldn’t withstand it; he didn’t want to die. That many obsessions had already locked onto his soul.

If he wanted to live now, there was only one way.

That was to disperse the obsessions.

He needed to uniformly distribute them among every parasitized soul.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor didn’t hesitate; he had no time to hesitate.

In an instant, countless hosts felt a piercing pain.

Massive cries, hysterical chatter, echoed within the souls of the hosts.

The weak were dying rapidly.

The Vermilion Bird was also in a semi-parasitized state.

Her brow furrowed, her expression pained.

No, this won’t do!

With such an overwhelming surge of Reincarnation Obsession, all the parasitized beings would die!

There was absolutely no hope of survival.

Their souls would even be shattered by the obsessions.

One by one, sorrowful souls rushed towards all the alien worlds.

No!

Lu Ye, stop!

All monsters and demons will die; all the parasitized beings will die!

At that moment, an obsession surged into the Vermilion Bird’s mind.

It was Shen Xitang!

“It’s you!”

The Vermilion Bird was stunned.

Shen Xitang looked at the Vermilion Bird calmly.

“I’ve heard Lu Ye say that you were the Great Emperor in your past life, and your Dao heart is solid, able to resist the influence of all obsessions. But if they live, you will die!”

“Or, if you don’t care, they die, and you live.”

“Save one, or save millions?”

“You, make a choice!”
