Chapter 372: Harvest

What was meant to come has arrived, and what wasn’t supposed to has also shown up.

Lu Ye was ready to make his move.

“Heaven Tower, are you there?” Lu Ye asked.

“Here!”

“You can eliminate Imperishable Realm experts, right?”

“Of course.”

“Easily?”

“Yep.”

With the Endless Heaven Tower’s assurance, Lu Ye felt bold and confident.

“Then let’s start the killing. I’ll follow your lead, but remember, leave the souls.”

There wasn’t a single Imperishable Realm soul in the Emperor’s Banner, and Lu Ye certainly needed that.

Each Imperishable Realm soul was a huge boon for the Emperor’s Banner at this point.

So, Lu Ye wasn’t about to let such a good resource slip by.

“Alright!”

The Endless Heaven Tower whisked Lu Ye away.

The first place they appeared was right in front of a great demon at Linglang Demon Cliff.

The demon’s expression was one of horror and shock.

They had appeared so suddenly that it hadn’t sensed them at all.

“Lu Ye!”

Recognition of Lu Ye filled it with intense unease. From the moment Lu Ye appeared, it looked at him with the same gaze reserved for the dead, causing its heart to race uncontrollably.

But just as it called out Lu Ye’s name, its head exploded with a thunderous bang.

The Nascent Soul shattered.

The Emperor’s Banner swung, and an Imperishable Realm soul was effortlessly captured within.

The Emperor’s Banner danced lightly, digesting the Imperishable Realm soul.

It was tough to digest.

But it didn’t matter; the Emperor’s Banner often got stuffed to the brim, so being filled again wasn’t an issue.

The second figure.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as Lu Ye appeared, the opponent recognized him.

Perhaps it was due to Yue Hongling’s live broadcast in the Nine Heavens.

“What’s going on?”

Some powerful factions were on guard outside the Endless Secret Vault, preparing for any other strong factions with malicious intents scheming to set up formations and block the exit.

But now, an Imperishable Realm soul lamp had gone out.

Was the trial in the Endless Secret Vault this dangerous?

Soon, angry roars broke out.

The soul lamps were extinguishing!

The soul lamps kept going out!

All these extinguished soul lamps belonged to top-tier Imperishable Realm experts.

All factions turned ashen.

This was unacceptable; Imperishable Realm experts represented the pinnacle of a faction’s power. If too many Imperishable Realm experts died, their fruitful territories would undoubtedly become tempting prey for other factions.

“Get them out quickly!”

“What the heck is happening? Why are they suddenly dying?”

“How did so many of our Mo City experts die? What about your people?”

“Amitabha, even our Ming Fo Temple has fallen Arhats!”

“The same goes for our Canghai Tianzong!”

“Our Qi Tianzong is suffering too!”

“Huh? Why hasn’t anyone from the Four Symbols Sect fallen?”

“We haven’t lost any strong ones either!”

“What’s going on?” the Mo City expert roared.

They were baffled. Could it be that killing is sect-dependent? Their sect hadn’t even provoked anyone; why was this happening?

“Could it be that those factions with fallen experts share something in common?”

Someone suggested.

Something in common?

These factions were spread across vast distances, with demons and Buddhas involved; what could they possibly share?

“Amitabha!”

A monk from Ming Fo Temple shouted a chant.

He glanced at the Eternal Order Sect, his lips barely moving.

The Eternal Order Sect expert was taken aback, their eyes suddenly turning ice-cold.

They relayed messages to others in different sects, and the expressions of those who received the message shifted dramatically.

Upon getting confirmation, these sects understood.

It was Lu Ye!

It was that damned Lu Ye; he was taking action against those factions that had previously sent assassins into the Endless Secret Vault.

But why was he able to act in the Endless Secret Vault?

The dead were all Imperishable Realm experts; they weren’t insects that could just be squashed. How could they die so quickly, and why was it happening?

“Retreat; get everyone else out now!” the Eternal Order Sect expert shouted in fury.

But their message sank like a stone.

No one replied, and certainly no one came out.

One by one, Imperishable Realm experts fell.

The hearts of the various factions felt like they were bleeding.

Their eyes were red like rabbits.

Sure, there were many Imperishable Realm experts on the Fifth Heaven, but that didn’t mean they were any less precious.

In a conflict, if one faction had three hundred Imperishable Realm experts and the other had two hundred, the latter had to back down.

That was a bloody truth.

The Emperor’s Banner was feeling absolutely ecstatic.

No, it was overflowing with delight.

Numerous souls transformed into essence, merging into the three main souls.

Yet, each Imperishable Realm soul entering still burdened the Emperor’s Banner heavily. The three main souls fought fiercely within the Emperor’s Banner to refine these turbulent souls.

The Emperor’s Banner could only try to upgrade.

Otherwise, as many violent souls as were crashing in could tear the thing apart.

The Emperor’s Banner was in a state of pleasurable pain.

Souls!

So many powerful and delectable souls.

So stuffed, so hard to digest!

Lu Ye followed the Tower Spirit, eliminating expert after expert from various factions.

He had never been one to take revenge slowly; before, he hadn’t gone all out because he hadn’t fully broken the ice with them, and they had only sent assassins.

Lu Ye was also newly ascended, still lacking in power.

Even though he could pull the Heavenly Gate into the fight, he still wouldn’t be able to withstand the combined forces of so many factions.

But that was a different story now.

With such an excellent opportunity to kill enemies, Lu Ye certainly wouldn’t let it slip.

As for after the killing, he’d discuss with the Endless Heaven Tower about delaying its demise, and then he’d take it with him to wipe out these sects directly.

But that was just a thought.

Because once the Endless Heaven Tower exited the Endless Secret Vault, it would likely be targeted by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

Soon, Lu Ye followed the Tower Spirit to the Heartless Demon Lord.

A beam of light instantly shattered the Heartless Demon Lord.

With a swing of the Emperor’s Banner.

Huh?

No soul?

The one who came to the Endless Secret Vault was not the Heartless Demon Lord’s true body?

No, it was the true body, but his soul must have been sealed by some powerful artifact; once the physical body died, all the souls would be instantly collected into that artifact.

At that moment, Lu Ye understood.

An Li had definitely been in contact with the Heartless Demon Lord.

But he didn’t care if she had run away.

It didn’t take long for Lu Ye to clear out all twelve factions of Imperishable Realm experts.

Awesome!

Not only did he collect the souls into the Emperor’s Banner, but he also grabbed all the Storage Rings of those people.

“We can kick everyone else out now,” Lu Ye said.

The Endless Secret Vault was his turf, so he certainly couldn’t let others take anything from it.

He was always the one who took treasures from others; there was no way he’d let anyone take his!

“Alright!”

The Tower Spirit didn’t mind; it was ready to dissolve alongside the Endless Emperor, what use were treasures to it?

The Endless Heaven Tower powered up.

“Bang bang bang…”

Shadows were rapidly blasted away.
