Chapter 205: On the Doorstep (Part 4)

Closer and closer!

Closer and closer!

The Aroma of Achievement in Dao was completely unaffected by the Formation; the fragrance was still wafting through the air.

The five of them were still chatting.

Suddenly, an Elder sniffed at his nose.

Fragrance?

What fragrance?

At that moment, all five caught a whiff of that enticing scent, their eyes turning a greedy blood-red.

So fragrant!

So fragrant! So fragrant! So fragrant!

It seemed to be the aroma emanating from Lu Ye. If they could get their hands on the source of this fragrance, they would achieve Dao and become the top figures in the world.

“Heh… heh… the Formation hasn’t been broken yet!”

Jiang Ben Chu’s resolve strengthened a bit as he held onto his meager self-control.

But the others couldn’t care less at this point.

Their minds were flooded with a terrifying urgency that could make them abandon everything—even their lives.

“I’m coming!”

In an instant, a Three-Life Realm figure dashed into the Formation.

Following closely were the second and third.

Even Jiang Jiu couldn’t hold back and rushed in.

Despair filled Jiang Ben Chu’s eyes as he wanted to flee, yet an endless will kept telling him to charge forward, to find him, to devour him!

Devour him!

Devour him!

Devour him!

“Ah!!!”

Jiang Ben Chu let out a furious roar and crazily charged into the Formation.

Until his figure was completely swallowed by it.

The three Formations suddenly burst into dazzling light, the previously damaged formations releasing a brand new power at that moment.

Indeed, Lu Ye had repaired these three Formations.

Although it wasn’t a full restoration, he managed to recover seventy percent of the Three Valleys Abyss’s power.

Seventy percent power…

No one in the Third Heaven could withstand that.

In just a brief moment, two Return to One Realm figures and three Three-Life Realm peak experts were completely refined to death without even laying eyes on Lu Ye.

See? It’s really that easy.

Killing and battling are often two different things.

Battle depends on one’s own strength.

Killing depends on everything.

Jiang Family.

Five Soul Lamps extinguished simultaneously.

“Thud!”

The Jiang Family member responsible for guarding the Soul Lamps collapsed to the ground in shock, disbelief written all over his face.

No!

No!

What is this?

“Fourth Elder has fallen, Eighth Elder has fallen, this is bad! This is bad!”

This shout echoed throughout the Jiang Family.

In an instant, powerful auras from the Jiang Family surged awake, faces filled with incredulity and shock.

What kind of news is this?

This has to be fake, right?

The Fourth Elder, a powerhouse at the Fifth Stage of Return to One Realm, is a top-notch figure in the entire Third Heaven, and now you’re telling us he has fallen?

Not just the Fourth Elder, but the other Eighth Elder who went out with him, as well as three Three-Life Realm peak experts, also fallen?

Shadows began to appear.

They looked at the extinguished five Soul Lamps and then at the names beneath them.

Many felt a jolt in their hearts.

It seemed… something really big was about to happen.

How could this be?

Why is this happening?

Clearly, the opponent is just a Destined Realm figure, and even if they exhausted all their abilities, they couldn’t possibly kill a Three-Life Realm, let alone a Return to One Realm.

“Did these five Soul Lamps extinguish at the same time?”

The Second Elder asked loudly.

“Yes… they extinguished simultaneously…”

Simultaneously extinguished?

In the Third Heaven, it’s impossible for someone to kill so many powerful figures in one blow.

How did they do it?

“What should we do?”

“It seems we must notify the Family Head; this matter exceeds our decision-making authority,” the Elder sighed.

“The Family Head doesn’t even know what he’s cultivating and had to enter seclusion at a critical moment…”

“Be cautious! How can you speak about the Family Head?”

The crowd debated back and forth.

Ultimately, they decided to consult the Family Head.

The Heaven Bell rang again.

This time, the sound was more urgent, waking Jiang Ding Tian from his enlightenment state.

Incredible!

Jiang Ding Tian felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Simply exploring the cultivation methods plunged him into deep enlightenment; each scripture, every word contained the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

Even if they weren’t suitable for his practice, he could still observe. After watching other scriptures, he gleaned countless insights.

His Dao was continuously growing.

His aura thickening.

Sometimes, Jiang Ding Tian felt it was an insult that Jiang Die was keeping track of all these powerful scriptures.

Clearly, her mind harbored an immense amount of knowledge, yet her effectiveness was so poor—it was downright embarrassing!

Jiang Ding Tian didn’t want to exit his seclusion.

But the Heaven Bell was indeed urgent.

After double-checking that there were no issues with the sealing on Jiang Die, he finally left her side and walked out of his meditation quarters.

“What is it? Why the urgency?” Jiang Ding Tian asked with displeasure.

“Family Head, the Fourth Elder and Eighth Elder, as well as three Three-Life Realm peak experts have fallen!” the Elder replied, filled with helplessness in his voice.

Even Jiang Ding Tian knew that an urgent Heaven Bell meant something big had happened, but upon hearing this news, his eyelids twitched.

Two Return to One Realm figures and three Three-Life Realm figures have fallen?

Hasn’t he been in seclusion for only a short while?

“What’s the reason?” Jiang Ding Tian asked, his voice still indifferent.

No matter how many died, he couldn’t panic.

“The five were hunting down Lu Ye, who lured them into the Three Valleys Abyss, and they were all killed by the Abyss’s Formation attack!”

The cause of death could be determined so quickly; the Jiang Family truly was a powerful family with methods at their disposal.

“Hunting down Lu Ye…”

Jiang Ding Tian sighed.

This is the horror of a Tianjiao; possessing such fortune, you never know where it comes from or how it will annihilate you!

“After killing, did Lu Ye show up?” Jiang Ding Tian asked.

“No!”

“Seems there’s no room for softening; since that’s the case, let’s go all out and summon the ancestral artifact!”

“Yes!”

Spirits soared among the crowd.

With the ancestral artifact in play and the Jiang Family’s full effort, Lu Ye was sure to die!

Suddenly, someone’s nose twitched.

Huh?

What’s that fragrance?

Not just one person, but nearly all the gathered people smelled that fragrance.

So fragrant!

So fragrant! So fragrant! So fragrant!

Eyes turned toward the direction the fragrance was coming from, revealing a tall youth in a dark robe, his long black hair cascading over his shoulders.

This immensely tempting aroma was clearly emanating from him.

They all saw this youth for the first time.

Yet this face had been etched in their minds countless times.

Too many images.

Lu Ye!

Eyes turned blood-red.

Sniffing that scent, an endless greed and madness arose.

Lu Ye chuckled softly.

“Come, meet your end!”
