Chapter 342: King of Heaven and Earth

Lu Ye’s name sent shockwaves through the Heavenly Gate.

He left the Celestial Palace, and his figure began to waver, but his aura kept getting stronger by the moment.

Reincarnation Realm shattered!

Heaven and Earth Realm arrived!

As Lu Ye’s figure reappeared in the void where he had vanished, the power of Heaven and Earth within that space began to boil over.

Who knows how far this surge extended?

Both the Realm of Domain and the Heaven and Earth Realm control the power of Heaven and Earth, so why are there two ranks?

It’s all about the quantity of that control.

The power of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Domain is limited, forming something akin to a domain.

In contrast, the Heaven and Earth Realm should ideally wield limitless power, capable of shaking the very essence of Heaven and Earth—completely different from the Realm of Domain.

When Lu Ye was in the Realm of Domain, he could invoke a power equivalent to that of a common Heaven and Earth Realm; now that he’s become one…

The entire void erupted at that moment, with the surging power of Heaven and Earth continuously crashing into Lu Ye, causing his True Essence to skyrocket beyond comprehension.

One times, two times, five times, ten times!

It’s not normal for a breakthrough from Reincarnation Realm to Heaven and Earth Realm to yield such an insane increase, but Lu Ye had already honed himself to an outrageous level in the Reincarnation Realm, now going wild and brutal since he can take it all.

Such a commotion naturally caught the attention of the Devouring Dao Beasts right away.

Not just them, Bai Qiulan, who was purposely keeping her distance, also noticed immediately.

Bai Qiulan was all too familiar with Lu Ye’s aura.

“Quick! Lu Ye has shown up!”

Bai Qiulan’s voice was filled with urgency and fear.

The Devouring Dao Beasts charged toward Lu Ye like crazy.

The closest one was less than a hundred miles away, in the void, that distance felt like practically right next to him.

“Roar!”

The Devouring Dao Beast let out a roar.

Lu Ye glanced at it, no pointless chatter, just a swift backhand slap.

That slap, what folks on the streets call a “big smackdown,” among cultivators is known as the “Heaven-Slapping Palm.”

The beast unleashed a torrent of divine flames, forming pillars of fire, but with that slap, the flames were shattered to pieces, and that Devouring Dao Beast was crushed along with it.

To annihilate a beast of the same realm with a single move—if Lu Ye had to use a second move, that’d be downright pathetic.

That slap genuinely startled the Devouring Dao Beast. Wait a minute, did he just smash apart part of it with one slap?

What kind of terrifying monster is this?

But thinking it might be the reincarnation of a Celestial Lord, it didn’t seem so shocking after all.

The Devouring Dao Beast was close to tears.

It really didn’t want to be enemies with Lu Ye; it…

The power of Darkness Origin manifested as an eye watching the Devouring Dao Beast from within its very being.

At that moment, the Devouring Dao Beast racked its brain and finally made a decision.

That decision was to go all out and kill Lu Ye!

No matter what Lu Ye was reincarnated from, it was already standing behind the Darkness Origin and had no choice left.

Rather than waver, it was better to take the plunge!

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Heaven and Earth boiled, the void surged, countless Devouring Dao Beasts rushed toward Lu Ye, creating a beautiful scene like a grand meteor shower tearing through the starry sky.

Lu Ye’s expression turned excited, thrilled yet cruel.

This time, it was sure to be a bloodbath.

Lu Ye formed hand seals.

“Three Flowers Unite!”

In the void, petals bloomed one after another, enclosing the Devouring Dao Beasts within.

By the time those three petals re-opened, not a single Devouring Dao Beast remained inside.

Utilizing such a technique, Lu Ye’s True Essence barely drained even one percent and was quickly recovering.

Now at the true Heaven and Earth Realm, more of Lu Ye’s abilities were unlocked.

His powerful techniques could finally be unleashed at will.

The title of King of Nine Heavens could ascend to the stage of the Nine Heavens.

“Heaven and Earth Calamity Technique!”

A massive expanse of tribulation clouds appeared, thickening the void. As purple heavenly lightning fell, dozens of Devouring Dao Beasts were reduced to dust.

More and more Devouring Dao Beasts rushed from all directions.

“Burial Void Technique!”

The void suddenly collapsed, burying countless Devouring Dao Beasts within the darkness.

“Annihilation Gale!”

The void blurred, a raging wind reducing nearby stars to mere ashes.

“Earth, Wind, Water, Fire! Four Symbols Return to Chaos!”

“Extinction Finger!”

“Grand Destruction Blade!”

Techniques swirled around Lu Ye, who hovered in the void, surrounded on all sides by endless charging Devouring Dao Beasts.

This time, Lu Ye felt like the master of destruction.

The power of Heaven and Earth went berserk unlike anything seen since the establishment of the Fourth Heaven; there hadn’t been such a powerful波动.

Lu Ye single-handedly created an army of tens of thousands.

With countless sects in the Nine Heavens, each holding myriad powers, Lu Ye knew some of their techniques to various extents. Why?

It’s not that he stole them; it’s simply that Lu Ye had the knack for improving those techniques—one of a kind! Any technique that came into Lu Ye’s hands would get enhanced.

With such a talent, along with cultivating the Great Dao of Guarding, as long as he didn’t provoke anyone too much, he wouldn’t become an enemy. Naturally, other sects would willingly share their powerful divine abilities with Lu Ye for his improvements.

Thus, Lu Ye had an overwhelming arsenal of techniques at his disposal.

“Ultimate Destruction Technique!”

“Large Void Technique!”

“Great Sun Annihilation Technique!”

“Sky-Shock Technique!”

Lu Ye merely stood there, explosions erupting in every direction nonstop.

Each resounding boom felt like a spectacular symphony, or perhaps the most beautiful form of art.

How exhilarating!

This sheer joy of rampant destruction was absolutely euphoric.

The Devouring Dao Beasts felt a chill run down their spines because many of the techniques Lu Ye unleashed were familiar to them—for instance, Large Void Technique, which was the signature divine ability of the Void Celestial Lord, or Heaven and Earth Calamity Technique, a renowned skill of the Purple Cloud Celestial Lord, or Ultimate Destruction Technique, a top-tier skill of the Demon Ancestor…

One after another, these abilities were horrifyingly powerful, and what Lu Ye displayed was barely a fraction of their potential.

But how is it that you can do everything?!

However, soon the Devouring Dao Beast’s main force arrived.

In a mere moment, Lu Ye had killed over ten thousand Devouring Dao Beasts, but in the grand scheme, that was just a drop in the bucket.

With a single breath, tens of thousands of Devouring Dao Beasts surged forward, a vast tide, endlessly unfurling.

Lu Ye opened his palm.

A Stone Sword fell into his hand, tightly gripped by him.

The Stone Sword hummed; it was already itching for a fight.

Kill!

Kill!

“Kill!”
