Chapter 191: Overbearing

Soon, Lu Ye received the news.

Some of these sects had regrouped, changing their names and identities.

Others had completely vanished without a trace.

The ones that went dark were mostly those who fled into the void.

They really dared to run, huh!

Those who changed their names were found by Lu Ye, and the Emperor’s Banner, which hadn’t fully digested the situation yet, was now burping uncontrollably.

Lu Ye had secured the top spot on the Heavenly God Ranking.

Not that it was of much use.

The Second Heaven didn’t hold any value for him anymore, so he started looking for the treasure to condense his fifth life.

Condensing the fifth life also required three types of treasures.

According to the fragment of the Nine Lives Undying Heavenly Canon he obtained, it could actually only be trained up to condensing the fourth life.

The method for condensing the fifth life was something Lu Ye derived himself, based on the scripture.

It seemed to be even more effective than the original method.

Still needed three main materials.

First, Rebirth Lotus Root.

Second, Soul胎奇花.

Third, Living Spirit Bamboo.

Currently, he had the Rebirth Lotus Root and Living Spirit Bamboo, but he was short one Soul胎奇花.

He knew where the Soul胎奇花 was located.

Without any delay, Lu Ye hurried off to the outer realm.

The outer realm was a void, filled with shattered lands floating in nothingness, home to various beings.

In the outer realm.

A large area of shattered continent formed a cluster similar to meteorites; this place was referred to as the Shattered Land by everyone.

Dozens of cultivators were pierced through their bones, their clothing stripped away, their bodies marked with traces of torture, and some of them were already dead.

“I’ll give you one more chance to repeat the whole story.”

A daoist enveloped in demonic energy, with a Ten Thousand Souls Banner shrouded in black mist on his back, coldly stared at an Elder of the Yuling Sect.

“I’ll say it! I’ll say it! Fellow Daoist, please spare my life! I’m willing to do anything if you spare me!”

Suddenly, the black mist formed into long needles and pierced into his body.

“Ah ah ah…”

The wretched screams were endless.

After more torment.

“I’m not fond of listening to useless talk; here’s another chance!”

“The head of the Jiang Family, the first on the Heavenly God Ranking, Jiang Die, for some unknown reason targeted a cultivator in the First Heaven, Lu Ye, who is the number one on the Eternal Genius Ranking…”

Once again, the Elder of the Yuling Sect revealed everything without any change from what he had said before.

Laughter echoed.

Gradually growing louder.

“Hahaha… Kekekek… Kekekek…”

“Ten Thousand Souls Banner, good good good! A demonic cultivator broke into the Second Heaven and ruthlessly slaughtered their way through; the demonic path is rising! Fellow Daoists, it’s finally time for us to return to the Second Heaven, hahaha…”

A booming laughter resonated throughout the entire Shattered Land.

In an instant, eerie laughter rang out from all the broken lands.

“Kekek, we’ve finally waited for this day! The glory of the demons will surely be revived under the lead of Demon Lord Lu Ye today!”

“Gagaga, my Ten Thousand Souls Banner has been thirsting for blood!”

“Hahaha, my large knife hasn’t rolled heads for a long time!”

“Hehehe, my spear hasn’t tainted Yin blood for too long; every woman in this Shattered Land is useless!”

“What did you say? Go die!”

“Did I say something wrong? How many people have you been… don’t you know?”

……

“Less nonsense and contact everyone immediately; gather forces and charge into the Second Heaven!”

“Welcome, our Demon Lord!”

“Wrong, it’s Evil Lord!”

……

Among the strongest, there were three: the first was Shentu Fa, yes, that Shentu Fa, the first master of the Eternal Order Sect.

Hmm, you can tell by the name this is Shentu Xing’s brother.

Why did the brother of the first master of the Eternal Order Sect betray and escape to the Shattered Land?

This requires a bit of backstory; it’s rumored that Shentu Fa is the biological one, while Shentu Xing is the adopted son. Shentu Fa went missing in his childhood but was later found, yet his parents only favored their adopted son Shentu Xing.

So, in a fit of anger, Shentu Fa left, vowing to make them regret it.

After Shentu Fa left, the Shentu family… had a better life.

How awkward!

From then on, Shentu Fa entered the demonic path.

The other two were named Li Fanyun and Zhang Gu.

The three led tens of thousands of demonic cultivators, a sea of black cloud charging toward the Second Heaven.

Each person wore expressions filled with excitement and bloodlust.

Awesome!

Awesome!

With so many strong ones from the Heavenly God Ranking fallen, and Demon Lord Lu Ye wreaking havoc in the Second Heaven, their springtime had arrived!

Waves of demonic energy surged, and the Ten Thousand Souls Banner fluttered in the wind.

Lu Ye was currently en route to the outer realm.

“I wonder if I can find those sects in the outer realm.”

Lu Ye hadn’t forgotten the last few sects.

He couldn’t help it; he had a bit of a vendetta.

After being reborn, he had become even more vengeful.

In the boundless void.

The void was divided into nine by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ supreme power.

The Nine Heavens, strictly speaking, belonged to a nine-layered vast universe, taking the shape of being narrower at the bottom and top, with the middle being the most expansive.

Thus, the First Heaven was small, the Second Heaven larger than the First, and by the time you reached the Fifth Heaven, it had reached its maximum extent.

After that, the Sixth Heaven began to shrink.

Continually shrinking.

Until reaching the Ninth Heaven.

The Ninth Heaven was the sky vault, filled with various dangerous places, terrifying beyond belief.

Yet it also housed countless powerful beings.

Suddenly, Lu Ye’s expression froze.

Huh?

Such a massive demonic energy?

He wasn’t even at the Shattered Land yet!

What’s going on?

Lu Ye was puzzled, but it didn’t matter; he was already invincible in the Second Heaven.

So he flew toward the overwhelming demonic energy.

A group of demons and evil cultivators hadn’t yet sensed Lu Ye’s presence.

The two sides kept getting closer.

When Lu Ye appeared in their line of sight.

“Stop!”

Shentu Fa shouted loudly.

He was taken aback; how did this person get so close without him noticing?

Things seemed a bit off.

Lu Ye looked at the vast crowd, many of whom had the black Ten Thousand Souls Banner flapping behind them.

Behind him, the golden Emperor’s Banner fluttered.

“Huh? What’s that banner of his? How come it looks so much like our Ten Thousand Souls Banner?”

“It does look somewhat similar, but what gives him the right to have a golden one while we have a black one?”

“It shouldn’t be the Ten Thousand Souls Banner; no banner of anyone looks so righteous.”

A group of demonic cultivators curiously commented on Lu Ye’s Emperor’s Banner.

Lu Ye too was eyeing their Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Huh, why is their Ten Thousand Souls Banner so weak?

“May I ask your name, friend?” Shentu Fa queried.

Lu Ye replied, “You don’t need to know my name. I need the Soul胎奇花 in your possession. Hand it over, and I can spare your life.”

Overbearing, absolutely overbearing.

But this dominance was also due to the identity of his opponent.

If they were upright righteous cultivators, Lu Ye would naturally negotiate politely.

But since they were demonic cultivators, he naturally treated them in a demonic way.

Two words: Overbearing!
