Chapter 250

Chapter 250: The Whole World is an Enemy (Fourth Update)

Another wave of powerful individuals has fallen.

Without anyone above them, they were completely stunned to realize that when Lu Ye made his move, he had already reached the **Return to One Realm**…

**Return to One Realm**!!!

When Lu Ye ascended, everyone in the **Third Heaven** was aware of it.

How long has it been since then?

He actually reached the **Return to One Realm**.

What does this imply?

No one could cultivate this quickly; throughout history, never has anyone advanced so fast.

But here comes Lu Ye, breaking the mold!

The truth appears to be singular.

That is…

“He’s definitely a reincarnation of a great being…”

“He’s really left himself treasures for rapid growth!”

“I can genuinely see the opportunity for supreme achievement in him!”

“But he’s already grown up.”

Countless people felt regret.

Had they known this earlier, they would have been racking their brains to break the formation of the **Three Valleys Abyss** and capture the not-yet-fully-grown Lu Ye.

They’d interrogate him for his secrets!

It’s not too late!

He’s only at the **Return to One Realm**, without the formation of the **Three Valleys Abyss**; what’s he to do even if he’s at this realm?

There are many strong folks in the **Third Heaven**.

There are at least hundreds at the **Return to One Realm**; if they all band together to deal with Lu Ye, they could easily wear him down!

An unparalleled great being reborn.

And leaving behind such treasure for himself.

What heights could one reach if they were to take his place?

For the **Tianjiao**, they might not care much, but for those with average talent or spent potential, the temptation is deadly.

It’s a world where the weak are preyed upon by the strong.

It’s a world of contention for the **Dao**.

Among cultivators, among ten thousand, there’s hardly one or two who willingly settle for mediocrity.

The news of Lu Ye reaching the **Return to One Realm** spread like wildfire.

If before there were skeptics towards such rumors, now his outrageously unreasonable growth speed has made everyone envious.

At this moment, Lu Ye officially became a mobile top-tier opportunity, a human-shaped treasure trove, a chance for achieving the **Dao**.

This kind of allure rivals even the **Aroma of Achievement in Dao**.

“Is everyone dead already?”

More news arrived.

The second batch sent to encircle and kill Lu Ye was completely wiped out; some hadn’t even made a move, just spectating, yet were slain by Lu Ye.

“He’s a demon, an absolute demon!”

“He has the **Ten Thousand Souls Banner**. Although it’s turned golden and radiates pure purple qi, giving it an air of righteousness, I won’t be mistaken; it’s absolutely the **Ten Thousand Souls Banner**!”

“This must be a reincarnation of a dark lord! If we don’t kill him while he’s weak, he’ll undoubtedly bathe the world in blood in the future!”

“Exactly, every great emperor and **Celestial Lord** becomes like this—if they’re not slain while weak, after they become great, they always go on a killing spree!”

If Lu Ye heard this, he’d probably laugh uncontrollably.

Back when he was weak, you all were hell-bent on taking him out.

And now that he’s become strong, you get the tables turned on you, and suddenly he’s the villain?

It’s quite ridiculous, yet it’s pitifully true.

More and more people went mad trying to kill Lu Ye.

Deep down, Lu Ye felt helpless; in his last life, he walked the path of a protector, the so-called nice guy.

He had friends all over in his past life; some were true friends, while others simply rode on his coattails under the guise of friendship.

But undoubtedly, he had never turned into the current man he was.

Countless people criticized him relentlessly.

Everyone deemed him a demon.

Back in the **Second Heaven**, folks knew Lu Ye had offended the **Jiang Family** and the **Eternal Order Sect**, leading to his joint execution; he couldn’t really be considered a bad person.

Just a counterattack against enemies.

But now things were different.

Lu Ye had transformed into a downright villain.

A thoroughly bad guy.

No one mentioned the number of people sent to kill him; everyone simply said, Lu Ye has killed too many.

He exuded an aura that drove people mad and irrational.

Here he was, a slaughterer in denial, pretending to play the victim; it was genuinely nauseating!

Throughout the **Third Heaven**.

The air buzzed with scorn for Lu Ye.

This enmity intensified at breakneck speed.

While Lu Ye killed, he pondered.

**Bai Qiulan** was right there, never leaving, her eyes filled with worry for him.

Meanwhile, the hostile crowd was growing ever larger.

It was clear that **Chu Ling** was fanning the flames behind the scenes.

The **System** couldn’t locate **Chu Ling**; Lu Ye understood the reason.

The **Source of Darkness** and the **Heavenly Dao** existed on the same level.

The **Heavenly Dao** could control this world.

The **Source of Darkness** could too.

It always grew in silence when the Heavenly Dao couldn’t perceive it, growing and growing…

By the time the Heavenly Dao finally detected it, the **Source of Darkness** had become an existence it couldn’t erase.

So, the **Source of Darkness** was particularly skilled at avoiding the pursuits of the **Heavenly Dao**.

Since the **System** was out of commission, Lu Ye knew he had to find a way to track things down on his own.

Blood began to accumulate.

It turned into unique runes as lines of causality rapidly appeared.

Previously, Lu Ye had little causality surrounding him.

But after this period of frenzied slaughter, the webs of causality around him numbered in the frighteningly high range.

The people he killed included friends and family.

The instant he began killing, Lu Ye and those he slayed had established a causal bond.

Blood flowed over the myriad lines of causality, pooling together.

Before he could solidify the connection, a host of enemies appeared once more.

Lu Ye shrugged it off, the **Emperor’s Banner** erupted with a surge of brilliant purple light.

In an instant, a gigantic **Great Formation of Ten Thousand Souls** unfurled.

The core of it was **Jiang Die**.

The crowd surged toward Lu Ye, entering the formation, clashing with countless souls.

Lu Ye watched as blood gradually converged onto a line of causality.

“Found it!”

Lu Ye threw a punch.

A blank pathway appeared in the heavens and earth.

Blood mist parted to either side as Lu Ye dashed through, moving with a powerful boom.

The **Ten Thousand Souls Banner** vanished along with him.

“Chase him!”

“He can’t hold on much longer; don’t let him escape!”

“Kill him!”

Numerous cultivators took to the skies, pursuing Lu Ye.

At this moment, Lu Ye stood universally opposed.

But in Lu Ye’s eyes, there was only the thread of causality between him and **Chu Ling**.

“Boom!”

The clouds rippled apart.

Lu Ye surged forward at lightning speed.

The line of causality came into view.

Huh?

No **Chu Ling**?

Not only was there no **Chu Ling**, but it was also a massive ambush.

Dozens of **Return to One Realm** cultivators seemed to have anticipated Lu Ye’s arrival, lying in wait.

“Looks like you’ve gotten smarter.”

Lu Ye’s eyes lit up as he spotted a **Magic Sword** among the crowd.

Perfect!

Just perfect!

Woman, you’ve fully ignited my killing intent!

The **Stone Sword** gripped tight in Lu Ye’s hand, he stared at the numerous strong figures floating before him.

“Come!”
