Chapter 273: The Beginning of Revenge

What does “I can elevate myself” even mean?

What, what the heck does “I can elevate myself” mean?

What, what the hell does “I can elevate myself” actually mean?

Under the ridiculous gazes of the Drunken Sword Daoist and Lin Chuyue, Lu Ye lightly brushed his fingers over the mark.

A burst of light flared.

A new pattern appeared in between his eyebrows.

Second pattern…

Ah!

Ah!

The eyes of the two snapped wide open, almost popping out of their heads.

No, you just…

You managed to create the second pattern by yourself?

Lu Ye feigned confusion, “What’s wrong? When the Heavenly Dao was rewarding me, I just felt like I could elevate to the second pattern myself. Don’t you need anyone else’s help to elevate your patterns?”

The Drunken Sword Daoist and Lin Chuyue exchanged a glance, shock visible in each other’s eyes.

“We certainly can’t! Good grief, it seems you really are the child of destiny, possessing an extraordinary affinity for the Heavenly Dao, which allows you to elevate your patterns by yourself.”

Lu Ye nodded, “Maybe that’s it, I’m not really sure.”

The Drunken Sword Daoist took a deep breath, pushing down his shock and confusion.

“Since you can elevate by yourself, I won’t need to step in. Seize the day, I will cross the tribulation right now. Chuyue, step back a bit!”

“Oh, be careful!”

Lin Chuyue retreated.

Lu Ye, a great distance away, didn’t need to back away at all.

“Boom!”

With a thunderous roar.

In the void, tribulation clouds began to form, while purple-golden lightning danced through the clouds.

Seeing this, Lu Ye scoffed.

No justice in this, he ascended to the Fourth Heaven with purple-golden lightning, and now the guy ascended to the Fifth Heaven still with purple-golden lightning.

Can’t we get some pure purple for a change?

“Boom!”

A massive purple-golden beam pierced through the void, about the thickness of a barrel, looking extra intimidating.

Fine, this purple-golden lightning is a bit bigger than what he faced during his tribulation, so that’s something.

The purple-golden tribulation lightning got larger and larger.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the Drunken Sword Daoist crossing his tribulation, Lu Ye might have charged right up to enjoy a good soaking of that thunder.

The Drunken Sword Daoist is incredibly strong; just by seeing him and Lin Chuyue singlehandedly holding back so many powerful members of the Dark God Cult, you can tell.

The tribulation lightning wasn’t much of a challenge for him.

As the last bolt of tribulation lightning fell.

The gold was almost negligible, but it still hadn’t reached the pure purple level.

The Drunken Sword Daoist felt exceedingly pleased, ignoring his charred appearance while chugging down fine wine.

“This humble one will await you in the Fifth Heaven, until we meet again!”

“We wish the sect leader a successful ascension!”

Lu Ye followed suit, “We wish the sect leader a successful ascension!”

“Hahaha… I’m off!”

Watching the figure of the Drunken Sword Daoist fly higher and higher, gradually fading away, until he finally entered another realm.

Only then did the two retract their gazes.

Lin Chuyue felt indifferent about this farewell; it wouldn’t be long before she too would ascend.

“Lu Ye, what do we do next?” Lin Chuyue asked.

Lu Ye didn’t waste words, “Kill!”

Killer, always a killer.

Lu Ye was seeking revenge, completely without any psychological burden.

“I’ll go with you!”

“No need for you to intervene.”

“I won’t intervene; I’ll just watch. If you get into a dire situation, then I’ll jump in,” Lin Chuyue said with a smile.

She didn’t feel there was anything wrong with Lu Ye’s actions. Getting chased and hunted by a huge crowd as soon as she entered, feeling no anger at that would be ridiculous.

Cultivators have always been like this.

Seeking harmony of heart and mind, without regret or remorse.

Of course, Lu Ye’s revenge wasn’t about just indiscriminately slaughtering his way through without distinguishing between strengths.

Formations were fun, but they consumed way too many resources. Lu Ye couldn’t use all the resources he obtained solely to set up formations; that would render the killing meaningless.

His revenge had another significant point: gathering resources to aid his cultivation.

Names of various sects flashed in Lu Ye’s mind, automatically arranged by their strength, forming a perfectly crafted revenge map.

Lin Chuyue was following Lu Ye out of curiosity.

From the moment she met him, she sensed a fog surrounding him, and as time passed, that fog didn’t dissipate; rather, it thickened.

This guy, claiming he wasn’t a reincarnated Great Emperor, must be kidding himself, right?

He was so young, yet he could recognize the Devouring Dao Beasts that even members of the Seventh Heaven’s Heavenly Gate didn’t know about.

Plus, the way he separated others’ Dao without a hitch and absorbed a massive amount of sorrow without batting an eye…

And those outrageous combat skills.

Insight, Dao heart, means, battle—each one far exceeded that of an average person.

Under such circumstances, to say he had no secrets?

Lin Chuyue wouldn’t buy it.

After spending three more days, the two finally returned from the void.

Lu Ye immediately headed to the first sect.

This sect was called Tianming Sect. The ones who chased him before included their sect leader, their grand elder, and three elders above that.

It could be said that Tianming Sect was really eager for Lu Ye’s treasures, fearing they would fall short during the distribution.

As a result, Tianming Sect suffered the most severe losses, their Heavenly and Earthly Realm cultivators wiped out, and quite a few from the Reincarnation Realm too.

So when Lu Ye descended, what could they use to defend themselves?

They no longer had any strong figures to deter Lu Ye.

One by one, figures emerged with blood-red eyes, rushing out from their tweaked and modified formations.

Lu Ye’s expression turned cold.

The Stone Sword buzzed.

One against many, only kill!

The downfall of Tianming Sect created a huge stir in the Fourth Heaven.

Lu Ye had arrived!

Lu Ye began his vengeance!

What to do now?

What should we do?

Too many were plunged into despair.

Maybe they should try a united ambush again?

No, this guy knows formations; a combined ambush would just get them wiped out.

Some suggested using ranged treasures.

To capture or blast Lu Ye without getting close.

The suggestion pitched in the morning led to the destruction of the sect by afternoon.

Now, it seemed like these sects had only three options.

One, continue sending strong characters and using even more means to deal with Lu Ye.

Two, seek peace, offering sufficient sincerity.

Three, disband their disciples since according to Lu Ye’s previous performance in the Second and Third Heavens, his growth rate was rapid, and it wouldn’t be long before he ascended to the Fifth Heaven.

Various sects discussed and prepared two plans.

First, seek peace.

Send Daoist Shouren to find Lu Ye and request peace.

Second, have ranged treasures at the ready, and if they could lock onto Lu Ye’s position, confirming they could attack and ensure capture or kill, they would strike directly!

Daoist Shouren received the news and let out a soft sigh.

“What cost are you willing to pay for peace? Without adequate sincerity, even if I go to seek peace, there wouldn’t be room for discussion!” Daoist Shouren asked.

“One sect, just like the conditions he proposed before, one million premium spirit stones!”

Daoist Shouren…
