Chapter 337: Oh No

I don’t know how many, but definitely a lot.

Because it all ended way too quickly.

Just like that, he kept dying—over and over.

A disagreement? Bam! Dead.

Lu Ye’s death frequency has never been this high.

But man, it feels great!

Each reincarnation took just a little time.

Thankfully, during this round, only one soul was looping in the Reincarnation Realm, and once the cycle was over, the soul began anew. If there was a new soul every cycle, it would have added an obsession instead.

No need to think; the Reincarnation Celestial Lord would have definitely been itching to charge out with the Reincarnation Tome.

Birth, aging, illness, and death, and every hardship in this world… Lu Ye has savored them all.

Experiencing it firsthand is so different from just sensing it through the Reincarnation Obsession.

Lu Ye even recalled the feeling of being surrounded by the Reincarnation Obsession back then.

Just thinking about it made him feel even more invigorated.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand reincarnations had passed.

Lu Ye’s soul was growing stronger, each successive cycle boosting its strength.

However, his progression remained slow; after all those cycles, he was still just at the Third Layer of the Reincarnation Realm.

But Lu Ye wasn’t anxious; he was fully immersed in the experience, even with a hint of reverence as he pondered reincarnation, with his Dao of Seeking skyrocketing.

Only in the Netherworld and the Six Paths of Reincarnation could one fully experience reincarnation like this.

Before long, two thousand cycles had passed, hitting the limit from his last life, yet Lu Ye felt no mental fatigue whatsoever—he was actually even more exhilarated.

Three thousand times.

Lu Ye was like he was drinking sweet dew.

Five thousand times.

Lu Ye couldn’t get enough.

Eight thousand times.

Lu Ye felt like he was floating on air.

Ten thousand times.

Finally, Lu Ye sensed a hint of fatigue—it was as if he had been entertaining eight kids, constantly needing to keep an eye on them.

Physically, he was fine, but mentally, he was drained.

But luckily,

Twelve thousand times.

Lu Ye felt a bit nauseous.

He didn’t want to reincarnate anymore.

Fifteen thousand times.

Lu Ye’s eyes had become dim. Fifteen thousand reincarnations!

But thankfully, his gaze still sparkled.

Keep going!

The Book of Life and Death was becoming numb.

Emperor Dao Hen watched this scene, looking slightly dazed.

If he were to retrain in the Reincarnation Realm, how many cycles could he manage? Probably around twelve to three thousand. So why was Lu Ye still going?

The war in the Netherworld had ended.

It was a pyrrhic victory; the already thin foundations were further depleted. At this rate of stasis, how much longer could the Netherworld endure?

A thousand years?

Three thousand years?

Who could say for certain? It could be that this year, it would face extinction.

Fourth Heaven.

Lu Ye’s presence hadn’t shown up.

Bai Qiulan was still steady at first, but now she felt herself becoming increasingly frantic.

She always felt like Lu Ye was lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce at any moment.

She didn’t want to die; she just wanted to live. Was that a crime?

“Haven’t you found Lu Ye’s whereabouts yet?” Bai Qiulan suppressed her urge to question the Devouring Dao Beast.

One of the Devouring Dao Beasts merely glanced at her, not even bothering to answer. Right now, it was busy consuming living creatures.

However, the Devouring Dao Beast suddenly had a thought.

“Let me ask, who exactly is this Lu Ye? You all say he is a reincarnation of the Great Emperor, but after racking my brain, I couldn’t find that information. That can’t be right!”

“You need to be honest with me. Who is he? If I know who he is, I can find him better.”

“Otherwise, with so many spells in this world, I won’t even know which spell he’s using, and it’ll be way too hard to search.” said the Devouring Dao Beast.

Bai Qiulan obviously couldn’t spill Lu Ye’s information. If she revealed he was a Celestial Lord who could survive a massive tribulation, the Devouring Dao Beast would likely betray her instantly.

She glanced at Yue Hongling.

“I can tell you, but you need to help me with something.”

The Devouring Dao Beast also looked at Yue Hongling, wondering why this woman would bring along an icy woman.

Anyway, it was pretty idle here; no news about that Lu Ye whatsoever.

“Alright, what do you need from me?”

The Devouring Dao Beast asked.

“Do you know the Mind Confusion Technique?” Bai Qiulan inquired.

The Devouring Dao Beast raised an eyebrow—what, are you looking down on me?

I’m a Devouring Dao Beast, devouring all the paths of the world. I have countless skills. A simple Mind Confusion Technique? Of course, I can do that!

“Yeah!”

The Devouring Dao Beast answered straightforwardly.

“Can your Mind Confusion Technique confuse a Quasi-Emperor?” Bai Qiulan pressed.

“Huh?”

The Devouring Dao Beast was startled.

“What do you mean?”

“This woman’s Dao heart is extremely resilient. Common Mind Confusion Techniques wouldn’t work on her at all, so your technique must at least confuse a Quasi-Emperor to help me!”

Admittedly, saying Quasi-Emperor was a bit of an exaggeration. Just being able to confuse a Monarch-level cultivator would be quite impressive.

Possibly even effective on Great Dao Realm users.

The key was to be cautious. Bai Qiulan had no doubt that if she were to release Yue Hongling, she would self-detonate in less than a quarter of an hour.

Bai Qiulan could only give it her all.

Yes, Bai Qiulan still wanted to use the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique to restrain Yue Hongling again.

The Devouring Dao Beast’s heart sank.

What does this mean?

A Quasi-Emperor?

No, why would an ice-cold woman who doesn’t even understand the realm of a Devouring Dao Beast need a technique that can confuse a Quasi-Emperor?

What a joke!

“Are you sure?” the Devouring Dao Beast asked.

“Absolutely!”

The Devouring Dao Beast felt a chill in its heart—wait a second, hold on.

Let me sort this out.

First, An Li found me, claiming to have a way to help me break free, but in return, I needed to help kill this Lu Ye.

Second, An Li is a messenger of Darkness Origin. For someone who could make such a fuss, they can’t be simple. I’ve asked, and they said he’s a reincarnation of the Great Emperor.

Simply the reincarnation of a Great Emperor doesn’t frighten the Devouring Dao Beast.

But the Devouring Dao Beast knew human nature well—that if it was something bad, they would undoubtedly downplay it.

So if they said he’s a reincarnation of the Great Emperor, whether he’s a Great Emperor or Celestial Lord reincarnation is up for debate.

Third, this woman is saying it now.

She needs a Mind Confusion Technique that can confuse a Quasi-Emperor. What does this mean?

It means that to confuse such a weak person, she needs a technique strong enough to confuse a Quasi-Emperor!

This woman is clearly so weak!

Therefore, the truth can only be one: this frozen woman, pitiful as she may seem, is likely a reincarnation of the Great Emperor because only one who has carried the Dao Fruit of the Great Emperor could have such a resilient soul under such weakness.

So piecing this together, this woman, frozen solid and looking as pathetic as can be, is a reincarnation of the Great Emperor…

In that moment, the Devouring Dao Beast felt a sudden, deep chill run through its heart.

Oh no!
