Chapter 180: Fierce Battle (Part Two)

It must be the issue with the **Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu**.

The **Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu** acted up when he was transcending to sainthood, during the **Eternal Great Tribulation**, facing the strongest **Tianjiao** from ancient times to the present. Naturally, Lu Ye had to give it his all.

So, every method he had was unleashed, each one being the most terrifying move, pushing his fighting prowess to the highest peak.

Because his opponent wouldn’t engage in friendly sparring first before unleashing their big moves.

This was the invincible technique Jiang Die believed she possessed.

“Boom!”

The battle between the two left everyone dazzled. Various techniques that would baffle cultivators, ones that they could never hope to master in a lifetime, were being tossed around casually.

“Husband, are you feeling a bit desperate?”

Jiang Die sensed the overwhelming force Lu Ye was bringing, and it started to wane.

Lu Ye was beginning to fall behind, and Jiang Die’s eyes were filled with ecstasy and madness.

She had actually defeated Lu Ye!

She really could defeat him!

As long as she killed Lu Ye, from now on, there would only be her in the **Nine Heavens** with so many **Dao**. She would become the new **Nine Lives Celestial Lord**, unmatched in the world, and prove her path to sainthood.

Jiang Die’s aura became increasingly terrifying.

The foundation of it all was Lu Ye’s death!

Death!

“Boom!”

With another blow from the **Celestial Lord Fist**, Lu Ye’s body was sent flying, his momentum almost shattered by the punch.

“Pfft!”

Lu Ye spit out a mouthful of blood.

When Lu Ye spat that blood, everyone in the **Second Heaven** became even more exhilarated.

This demon was finally going to be defeated.

It was incredibly difficult.

If Jiang Die failed, darkness would absolutely engulf the entire **Second Heaven**.

If this demon truly began to settle scores, who knows how many cultivators would become nutrients for his **Ten Thousand Souls Banner**.

Lu Ye abruptly waved the **Emperor’s Banner**.

At that moment, the **Ten Thousand Souls Refining Sky Great Formation** instantly took shape, enveloping Jiang Die within it.

Jiang Die couldn’t help but laugh.

“This weak **Ten Thousand Souls Banner** dares to block my steps? Husband, you’ve really lost your mind!”

“Boom!”

A multitude of wailing **Yin Souls** cried out.

Jiang Die employed the **Primordial Morning Mist** body, and even the **Ten Thousand Souls Refining Sky** couldn’t breach such a body. Instead, Jiang Die struck again and again, shattering countless **Yin Souls**.

“Ahhh…”

All the souls twisted in agony.

The chilling screams formed a terrifying wave, creating a horrific magnetic field that launched the most violent attack on Jiang Die’s spirit.

However, evidently, this attack could only stall Jiang Die for a moment, unable to harm her in the slightest.

In her previous life, she was a Great Emperor, her heart resolute, and now she possessed sky-high abilities and unparalleled scriptures. This pitiful **Ten Thousand Souls Banner** could at most delay her for a brief moment.

Black mist shrouded Jiang Die’s vision.

A figure of Lu Ye stepped out from among Lu Ye’s forms, then a second, a third.

Four Lu Yes.

Based on the **Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations**, and leveraging the power of the **Dao**, he forcibly activated his **Yuan Ying** source. This technique, named **Borrowing the Heavens**, elevated him once more to **Heavenly God** level one.

**Vermilion Bird!**

**Qing Long!**

**White Tiger!**

**Xuanwu!**

The aura of the **Four Spirits of Heaven** burst forth from the four Lu Yes?

Among them, the aura of the **Vermilion Bird** was the most intense, the **Four Spirits of Heaven** transformed into phantoms floating behind Lu Ye, while the **Vermilion Bird** was vibrantly alive.

The four spirits returned!

The four Lu Yes appeared in the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest.

Lu Ye’s aura surged once again.

Jiang Die wanted to play, right?

Lu Ye would happily join her in this game.

But it wasn’t over yet; the malevolent energy around Lu Ye suddenly soared.

All the malevolent energy converged into a terrifying blood cloud, birthing blood-colored thunder within, splitting into four, crashing down upon the four Lu Yes.

The intense pain was almost comparable to the **Primordial Morning Mist**.

The malevolence entered his body, stimulating a potential explosion.

Enduring pain that only a few could withstand, Lu Ye’s aura reached **Heavenly God** level five.

At this point, if he were to unleash more power, he would exceed his capacity.

Indeed, Lu Ye under this condition was not even at his strongest.

When he started to burn his **Dao**… it would be counterproductive against someone like Jiang Die.

Why didn’t Lu Ye use so many methods during his last tribulation?

Because his **Dao** had fractured.

He didn’t know the meaning of pushing through anymore.

The eight closest ones had betrayed him all at once.

Lu Ye was utterly disheartened.

The **Emperor’s Banner** shrieked as copious **Yin Souls** were obliterated, five out of the eight main souls were forcefully destroyed.

It was nearly smashed to pieces.

The **Emperor’s Banner** was different from ordinary gear.

Normal gear can only level up from postnatal to postnatal or innate. An innate upgrade is still innate.

However, the **Emperor’s Banner** is postnatal after innate, and then innate again after postnatal. This is merely the explosive power it can display, not its inherent rank.

The black mist dissipated.

Jiang Die wore an arrogant smirk; this was her strength, terrifying enough to instill fear in countless cultivators, even the **Ten Thousand Souls Banner** struggled to withstand her assault.

Then she spotted the four Lu Yes.

Four **Heavenly God** level fives, with bloodthirsty and menacing **Four Spirits of Heaven** phantoms floating behind them.

The four Lu Yes had distinctly different powers, yet strangely fused together. The **Four Spirits of Heaven** possessed unmatched power to create chaos and open the heavens.

The prerequisite was that the four spirits needed to gather together.

Right now, these were merely phantoms; they certainly lacked substantial attributes, but against Jiang Die…

Jiang Die’s arrogance froze as she gasped in shock.

What kind of skill was this? Why hasn’t this skill been replicated by the mother gu?

The four Lu Yes simultaneously raised their fists.

Jiang Die suddenly let out a piercing scream, just like Lu Ye; she also cast **Borrowing the Heavens**.

Her aura surged again. This secret method was painful, causing Jiang Die to frown.

Her figure began to expand, and two more arms sprouted.

Four fists, all charged up with the **Celestial Lord Fist**.

“Boom!”

All eight fists shot out.

This time, the void shattered into a massive hole, an energy storm sweeping through that was countless times stronger than the previous collision.

Jiang Die coughed up blood, the black **Path of Oblivion** clinging to her body, forcibly pulling her level back.

**Path of Oblivion?**

When did Lu Ye acquire the **Path of Oblivion**?

She didn’t have that either!

Jiang Die refused to accept it. She knew Lu Ye inside out, aware of all his techniques. But where did this new method come from?

The four spirit phantoms transformed into four beams of fierce light.

All charged towards Jiang Die.

The four Lu Yes merged as one, the **Stone Sword** raised high.

The **Primordial Morning Mist** adhered to the sword’s blade.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The power of the **Four Spirits** caused a violent explosion, scorching Jiang Die and leaving her crumbling in ruin.

Blood mist surged around Jiang Die, the **Demon of Heaven** transformed into blood god **Dun Zhan** erupting forth.

The sword light flashed blindingly.

“Boom!”

The blood light rapidly fled towards the **Jiang Family**.

The gigantic sword light still slashed down on Jiang Die; despite her using her defensive techniques, she was almost split in two by the sword light.

The critical point was that the **Primordial Morning Mist** was now clinging to Jiang Die.

“Ah…”

“Ahhh…”

Amidst the blood light, the most piercing screams rang out as Jiang Die’s battered body crashed into the **Jiang Family Great Formation**.

Lu Ye didn’t pause for a moment, charging towards the formation.

The last of the dark clouds in the sky was being pulled apart.

A pitch-black beam of light formed, slamming fiercely into the **Mountain-Sea Void Formation**.
