Chapter 339: Are You Cheating?

Twenty-seven thousand times.

This is the limit of the Book of Life and Death, and of course, Lu Ye has reached his limit too.

His soul has returned again, and this time, he chose not to reincarnate but sat cross-legged on the Bridge of Regret.

His face was weary and worn.

But soon enough, a faint smile appeared on his face as the Dao of Seeking surged wildly; his aura’s intensity kept climbing.

In no time, he had reached the pinnacle of the Reincarnation Realm.

If Lu Ye wanted to, he could immediately break through to the Heaven and Earth Realm.

So, does that mean he doesn’t need to seek help anymore? All he needs is to break through to the Heaven and Earth Realm, and even if there were millions of Devouring Dao Beasts, he could wipe them all out clean?

Lu Ye pondered.

He could indeed kill, but there’s a catch: he needed to be constantly absorbing the energy from the Devouring Dao Beasts while doing so, otherwise, in such high-intensity battles, there’s no way he could last long.

Whether he could outmaneuver the Devouring Dao Beasts was still an unknown.

So, it was still necessary to secure the position of the Heavenly Gate Master.

The battles in the Netherworld had momentarily come to an end.

The figure of Daoist Chu Jiang had just appeared.

“Fellow Daoist, you are truly extraordinary! Throughout history, never have I heard of someone being able to reincarnate twenty thousand times in the Reincarnation Realm; it’s quite the eye-opener for us,” Daoist Chu Jiang exclaimed in shock.

He was genuinely stunned, as if he were a veteran player witnessing a cash-spending boss in a new realm.

Although that cash-spending boss was currently weaker than him, the abilities on display were something he could never hope to achieve in his lifetime.

Twenty thousand times!

What kind of monster was this person in his past life?

The bad luck within Lu Ye’s soul had long been worn away.

The first ten thousand reincarnations were rapid deaths, absurdly swift.

Whereas the next twelve thousand were normal reincarnations.

He had played numerous roles within those.

Ruffians, noble lords, recluses in the mountains, cultivators seeking longevity…

“Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I have completed my reincarnations and am heading to the next place. I will always remember the assistance from the Netherworld today,” Lu Ye said assuredly.

Daoist Chu Jiang felt a surge of joy but stifled his happy expression.

“I know time is of the essence for you, Fellow Daoist, so I won’t keep you any longer. Allow me to send you on your way.”

Lu Ye nodded with a faint smile.

…

Meanwhile, Emperor Dao Hen let out a gentle sigh.

Twenty-two thousand times.

He was utterly numb to that number.

He thought he could endure twelve thousand times, and it seemed like there was a mere one thousand difference between twenty-two thousand and twelve thousand.

Not even double, yet Emperor Dao Hen knew very well that the difficulty multiplied geometrically; the more repetitions, the steeper the challenge rose linearly.

One question kept flashing in his mind: Who exactly is Lu Ye?

Because in his memory, throughout the long course of history, there was no such existence at all.

His ability to withstand so many reincarnations showed that his Dao heart had reached an astonishingly strong level.

A Dao heart like this could make the Celestial Lords seem ordinary. Though he wasn’t a Celestial Lord, he could affirm that at least ninety percent of Celestial Lords wouldn’t have a Dao heart as stable as Lu Ye’s.

Those powerful Celestial Lords were just a handful, and none could match Lu Ye’s means and Dao.

Could it be a deliberate disguise? Trying to hide his true identity from others?

Emperor Dao Hen had seen the name Lu Ye before; he encountered it when the Eternal Genius Ranking illuminated the Nine Heavens.

Back then, he had lamented, this Lu Ye is truly a ruthless person!

He even suppressed a bunch of young Saints; how brave!

Now, looking at Lu Ye’s speed of cultivation and monstrous ability, one could only say his place at the top of the Eternal Genius Ranking is well-deserved.

Having such a person join the Heavenly Gate is simply one word—beautiful!

So beautiful!

Lu Ye’s soul returned to his body. “No need to escort me further; misfortune has reappeared. Farewell!”

“Farewell!”

The next moment, Lu Ye’s figure appeared in a realm of illusion.

In this space, there were clusters of phantom lights, each harboring images changing continually, and within, an astonishing battle was constantly taking place: a Heavenly Calamity. Each Heavenly Calamity resulted in the demise of countless beings, nearly leading to extinction.

As for Lu Ye, how to prevent the Heavenly Calamity… well, it’s not like he was completely new to that; one could say he had quite a bit of insight.

After all, this wasn’t his first time dealing with a Heavenly Calamity.

This time, his goal was speed.

He couldn’t wait to deal with Bai Qiulan.

Sometimes, he really felt that An Li was a good person because whenever he hesitated to be ruthless, An Li would show up, amplifying people’s wicked thoughts, making them turn against him, thus giving him an excuse to exterminate them.

Killing was particularly joyful, and he felt justified in doing so.

So Lu Ye checked one image after another.

Quickly filtering through.

Finally identifying the target: it’s you, the Battle of Mountains and Seas!

The Battle of Mountains and Seas was between two incredibly powerful races: the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, which led to the collapse of heaven and earth.

In the end, for self-preservation, the Human Clan entered the battle, resulting in nearly total annihilation.

That scuffle was internally ignited among living beings.

Lu Ye chose this Heavenly Calamity because it wouldn’t be too troublesome.

He simply needed to make one side extraordinarily powerful, and the Heavenly Calamity would be avoided.

Lu Ye’s figure entered the light and shadow.

Surrounding him was vastness, with pure heavenly energy surging, as the Dao of Heaven and Earth was almost laid bare before him.

This place was practically an incredibly epic cultivation holy ground; even if a pig were thrown in, it could be cultivated into a Heavenly Marshal.

Without further ado, Lu Ye immediately dashed toward the Witch Clan’s territory.

The Witch Clan was tall, and their bodies were covered with strange patterns, reminiscent of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

“Human Lu Ye greets everyone from the Witch Clan. I possess a method that can help the Witch Clan defeat the Demon Clan. Would the Witch Clan be interested?”

Massive eyes stared at Lu Ye.

A puny human, could he possibly help the powerful Witch Clan defeat the damned Demon Clan?

The Witch Clan was just about to squash Lu Ye like an insect.

Suddenly, Lu Ye’s aura skyrocketed, and the Heavenly Law unfurled.

Witch Clan???

“This is the method I intend to teach the Witch Clan; it will allow you to rapidly enhance your combat strength, making it a cinch to win against the Demon Clan.”

The Witch Clan members hesitated a moment. Was this due to the puny human being so weak that these two methods seemed so good?

“Let me give it a try!”

The moment the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations appeared before the Witch Clan, the entire clan erupted in excitement.

Because this secret technique was easy to grasp and effective for anyone, it could significantly boost their strength.

After all, even Shangguan Huanling could learn it; this technique truly has no entry barrier.

The Witch-Demon War reignited.

This time, the entire Demon Clan was stunned.

Wait, what the heck???

Are you all cheating?
