Chapter 28: Celestial Lord Fist

The arrival of the Jiuli Celestial Empire made the situation in the Nine Dragon Valley a bit tense.

The arrival of the Supreme Imperial Court put everyone on high alert; after all, the Supreme Empire had been growing increasingly powerful lately, even harboring thoughts of unifying the world.

They had stationed hundreds of thousands of troops at the borders.

A figure stirring up winds and clouds, everyone was on high guard.

“Hahaha, why are you all staring at us like that? Have I become this handsome?”

A young man dressed in a python robe, with a proud face full of confidence, walked with the grace of a dragon and tiger, his eyes sparkling with energy—definitely a strong person.

Beside him stood a woman, tall and shapely, wearing a colorful phoenix dress, with a beauty that was both enigmatic and noble.

Shangguan Huanling.

One of the beloved figures from Lu Ye’s past.

However, she didn’t immediately seek out Lu Ye’s whereabouts.

She was a very proud person.

While other women were pondering matters of love, she had only one thought upon reincarnation: she would become invincible and step into the realm of the Celestial Lord, rather than being protected by someone else.

In this life, she definitely wouldn’t be entangled with Lu Ye.

The young man in the python robe was named Shangguan Wuchang—third prince of the Supreme Imperial Court.

Lu Ye ignored the chatter from this group, finding a quiet place to close his eyes and start cultivating, patiently waiting for the Genius Ancient Battlefield to open.

Chu Ling stood protectively at his side, and the disciples of the Grand Dao Sect hesitated for a moment before imitating him and began sitting cross-legged to cultivate.

Seeing this, the others couldn’t help but scoff.

“Even now, with the Genius Ancient Battlefield about to open, you’re still cultivating? You didn’t know to hurry before, and now you’re scrambling at the last moment.”

“If you have time to cultivate, you might as well get to know some more Tianjiao, learn where their strengths lie so you can recognize them if you run into them.”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Were they paying attention to them?

Nope!

The disciples of the Grand Dao Sect remained unbothered.

Shangguan Huanling finally turned her gaze toward the Grand Dao Sect and noticed Chu Ling guarding Lu Ye, while Yue Hongling was quite close to him.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

What’s going on?

Aren’t the eight of us supposed to despise Lu Ye? What’s going on with you two?

“What’s wrong?” Shangguan Wuchang glanced at Shangguan Huanling and asked.

“Do you see that person?” Shangguan Huanling pointed at Lu Ye.

“Those two ladies are quite beautiful.” Shangguan Wuchang said in admiration.

Everyone loves beauty.

“That person is not someone you can handle. Don’t provoke him.”

Only then did Shangguan Wuchang look at Lu Ye.

Can’t see through his realm?

Interesting.

“Are you trying to provoke me?” Shangguan Wuchang suddenly said.

Without waiting for Shangguan Huanling to respond, he continued, “Great! My sister, you really know me well. I’m someone who gets provoked easily. Once we enter the Genius Ancient Battlefield, I’ll be the first to establish my presence against him!”

“You’ll die if you do.”

“Hahaha, then I’ll die!”

Shangguan Huanling nodded in satisfaction. Fine, go ahead and die.

She couldn’t kill Shangguan Wuchang. If she does, she would attract the aura of the Supreme Emperor Seal, which couldn’t be erased and would lead to relentless pursuit by the Supreme Imperial Court.

Lu Ye didn’t fear being hunted.

It would be most suitable to take down Shangguan Wuchang through Lu Ye’s hands.

Yang Wufa was also watching Lu Ye, especially Chu Ling, who was holding the Magic Sword vigilantly surveying the surroundings, causing a surge of irritation within him.

Damn it, how can my woman be so respectful towards another man?

It was already obvious on the surface, let alone what’s going on behind the scenes?

Yang Wufa felt a cap being placed on his head.

Yes, Yang Wufa had a quirk.

Any girl he greets is already regarded as his woman in his heart, and the others were all fine, keeping to themselves.

But those two—Yue Hongling and Chu Ling—were getting so close to another man?

A deep sense of humiliation rose within him.

This shame was unbearably uncomfortable, yet there was a peculiar joy accompanying it.

He had placed Lu Ye on his kill list.

But there was no rush.

He smiled and walked over to Shangguan Huanling.

After some commotion.

With the Grand Dao Sect leading the way, more and more cultivators began to sit cross-legged and continue their practices.

Including those who had mocked the Grand Dao Sect.

Who knew the Genius Ancient Battlefield would open so slowly?

It had already been four days without a sign.

On the fifth day.

Boom!

A massive roar echoed from the sky as dark clouds gathered, forming a large vortex resembling the eye of a storm.

Through the vortex, one could vaguely see a vast world within, filled with bizarre sights and mysterious wonders.

It’s opening!

Pairs of eyes quickly snapped open.

Without a word, Lu Ye was the first to soar into the air, rushing toward the eye of the storm.

Everyone else was stunned.

Holy crap, so decisive?

They suddenly sprang to their feet and charged toward the storm eye.

Yang Wufa moved with frightening speed, a streak of white light like a meteor slicing through the night sky.

He was determined to outpace Lu Ye and be the first to enter the Genius Ancient Battlefield.

The struggle had begun.

Lu Ye remained calm and steady, maintaining his speed as they both entered the Genius Ancient Battlefield simultaneously.

Space shifted, and a slight feeling of weightlessness washed over them.

The two plummeted from the sky, the immense gravity pressing down on them, making flight extremely difficult.

Lu Ye glanced at Yang Wufa.

Yang Wufa also looked at Lu Ye.

However, Lu Ye’s gaze was calm, with only a flicker of flame barely surfacing.

In contrast, Yang Wufa’s eyes were already ablaze with rage.

“Is your quirk acting up again?”

Lu Ye spoke up.

Yang Wufa paused, shock appearing in his eyes.

How did he know?

Lu Ye chuckled, “Don’t worry, it won’t act up anymore.”

“If I kill you, I’ll be normal again.”

He formed seals with his hands, the energy of Yin and Yang manifesting, suddenly morphing into a divine sword and cleaving toward Lu Ye.

Lu Ye clenched his fist.

He swung out a punch.

“Boom!”

The Yin and Yang energy exploded outward.

Yang Wufa’s eyes widened in shock, as he quickly formed seals, the Yin and Yang emblem hovering before him, swelling against the wind.

“Divine Technique, Yin-Yang Destruction Light!”

Lu Ye looked up at the massive Yin-Yang emblem as a terrifying light began to coalesce.

Three words escaped Lu Ye’s mouth.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

With a punch unleashed.

The Yin-Yang Destruction Light surged toward Lu Ye, carrying a vast and majestic aura, forming a massive beam that hurtled toward him like a laser meant to punch through heaven and earth.

Lu Ye delivered a punch.

The fist imprint wasn’t particularly huge, yet it conveyed an indescribably mystical meaning.

The fist imprint collided with the beam.

Shatter!

The beam fractured, breaking apart as if it became powder, the fist imprint smashing through everything with an indomitable posture and belief.
