Chapter 368 – Endless Secret Vault

The Vermilion Bird has risen again.

Lu Ye furrowed his brows.

An Li heading to the Six Paths of Reincarnation was certainly unexpected for Lu Ye.

But now the Vermilion Bird was different from others.

Lu Ye was sure the Vermilion Bird wouldn’t be his ally.

Having once betrayed him, Lu Ye would never be able to trust her.

However, it’s undeniable that the Vermilion Bird had become a bit more normal; at the very least, she now understood that the Parasitic Celestial Demon was the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor, and the so-called Ten Thousand Transformation Blood Sutra was nothing but a scheme by the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor aimed at the Vermilion Bird.

So, the question arose: how would the Vermilion Bird confront him this time?

“Report to the Lord, we have found out that the Darkness Origin once lingered in the Aurora Star Field.”

The Aurora Star Field…

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

The Aurora Star Field was located very far to the east, and beyond it lay the Demon Heaven Star Field.

The Demon Heaven Star Field was the stronghold of the Demon Clan.

In the Fifth Heaven, the Demon Clan was different from other realms; they had produced a particularly talented Demon Lord named the Heartless Demon Lord.

The Heartless Demon Lord was born in the Fourth Heaven and had soared not even five hundred years ago, yet he had continuously expanded the Demon Clan’s power.

He implemented a policy of increasing births and reducing resources for the strong, strengthening the new generation, and enforced a strict tiered promotion system.

Every genius of the Demon Clan would not be overlooked.

Every resource of the Demon Clan would not be wasted.

Every strong person of the Demon Clan would pour their heart and soul into the rise of the Demon Clan.

Now, although the Demon Clan was suffering immensely, their overall strength was improving every moment.

The Heartless Demon Lord had truly squeezed the Demon Clan to its limits, using a method of draining the entire Demon Heaven Star Field to boost their power.

When the last drop of resource was consumed, it would be the moment of the tidal wave of demons.

In the previous life, that overwhelming wave of demons swept through the entire Fifth Heaven.

Countless humans became food for the Demon Clan.

Great swathes of star fields fell.

That time, the entire Fifth Heaven was nearly completely devoured.

The Human Clan was on the brink.

Perhaps, without Lu Ye, the Heartless Demon Lord would have succeeded.

If he unified the Fifth Heaven, he would become the brightest star of the Demon Clan, establishing a solid barrier for his future rise.

Unfortunately, he died.

Killed in Lu Ye’s assassination.

Back then, Lu Ye had no choice but to carry out an assassination. The Human Clan had not yet united and was quickly being devoured; by the time they tried to join forces, it was already too late.

Lu Ye had to go alone on the assassination, nearly losing his life but still surviving.

Well, he completed such a difficult task alone and lived, but somehow died time and again at the hands of his eight ex-wives. I can only say…

Eight Empresses are awesome!

Right now, the Demon Clan should be in their hottest phase.

“Gather the people, we are heading to the Aurora Star Field!”

Lu Ye declared.

“How many?”

“Not too many, just ten at the Imperishable Realm will do!”

“Understood!”

Ten people quickly arrived, including Ning Tianming.

“You’re coming too?” Lu Ye asked.

“Of course, when the Lord is occupied, how could I stand idly by?” Ning Tianming chuckled.

“I’ll introduce you to the Lord; this is Li Qiongzhi, this is Gongsun Mingqian, this one is…”

Lu Ye introduced everyone in turn.

“Alright, let’s set off. The reason for bringing you all is that the Aurora Star Field is close to the Demon Heaven Star Field, and the Demon Clan has been acting up lately. I suspect they might join forces with the Darkness Origin, so you need to ensure my safety.”

Lu Ye stated.

“Got it!”

Lu Ye had never experienced such treatment; having just soared to become the leader of a powerful faction, he had, in one go, summoned the top ten strong experts from the Fifth Heaven for protection.

Lu Ye felt quite impressive.

This feeling was rather enjoyable!

In the vast void, flying felt particularly lengthy. Lacking in strength, Lu Ye decided to let Ning Tianming carry him.

Thus, it took half a month to finally reach the Aurora Star Field.

Upon arriving, the people from the Heavenly Gate who had been waiting took Lu Ye to where abnormalities had been detected.

An Li had previously appeared here.

Then, two top factions of the Aurora Star Field began to fight, resulting in massive casualties.

Currently, while the combat had temporarily ceased, tensions were high, and fighting could break out at any moment.

“What’s the cause?” Ning Tianming inquired.

“Unknown; it just seems they’re fighting for no reason,” replied the person responsible from the Heavenly Gate.

But Lu Ye understood in his heart.

It’s because of the Endless Secret Vault.

The Endless Secret Vault was a backup left by the Endless Emperor when he was reborn.

He had reincarnated and cultivated to break into a higher Celestial Lord Realm, but ended up dead along the way.

This secret vault had yet to be activated.

In the previous life, the Demon Clan had opened the Endless Secret Vault, leading to explosive growth in strength.

This was also a significant reason for the tidal wave of demons.

In his previous life, Lu Ye ascended late, arriving in the Fifth Heaven only to find that the Endless Secret Vault had already been taken by the Demon Clan. But now, the Demon Clan hadn’t gotten their hands on it yet.

If nothing else, An Li must have lured both sides into battle using the key to the Endless Secret Vault as bait.

Once the two empires collapsed, the Demon Clan could swoop in, not only seizing territory in the Aurora Star Field but also obtaining the Endless Secret Vault.

Honestly, Lu Ye needed that Endless Secret Vault too.

Because even in his previous life, after assassinating the Heartless Demon Lord, leading to chaos in the Demon Clan and their defeat at the hands of the Human Coalition, there were many treasures from the Endless Secret Vault among the spoils of war.

One can only imagine how many treasures lay within the Endless Secret Vault.

No wonder the two massive factions were so heated—treasure was a strong lure, and with An Li slightly goading them regarding power, it would be truly strange if they didn’t end up in a bloody mess.

But how was he going to get the key to the Endless Secret Vault?

Lu Ye pondered.

It seemed there was no way; these two top factions were named the Aurora Dynasty and the Extermination Empire.

Just by the names, one could tell their hatred for each other had reached a significant level.

The keys were likely guarded like treasures by the emperors of the two empires.

And within their ranks, the number of Imperishable Realm experts was at least thirty, if not more.

Thinking back and forth,

He simply couldn’t send the Heavenly Gate people to their deaths. Even if they were willing, Lu Ye couldn’t do that.

There was only one plan left.

Stir the waters!

“Spread the word that the Endless Secret Vault in the Aurora Star Field is about to open, and the keys to unlock it are in the hands of the emperors of the Aurora Dynasty and the Extermination Empire. The Endless Secret Vault is a hidden treasure left by a resurrected emperor, filled with vast resources!”

“Let the whole Fifth Heaven know!”

“First, muddy the waters!”
