Chapter 401: Wrong Yet Right

Who to choose?

Who exactly to choose?

The Heartless Demon Lord felt like he was standing at a crucial crossroads in life.

Killing Lu Ye would gain him the favor of the Darkness Origin, the Demon Clan would suffer heavy losses, and the dream of unifying the Fifth Heaven would shatter completely.

He was already at the point of ascension, and the only reason he hadn’t ascended yet was that he had his sights set on unifying the Fifth Heaven.

As long as Lu Ye killed enough, he wouldn’t have to think about unifying the Fifth Heaven anymore.

Killing An Li was tricky; with the Darkness Origin backing her, he most likely wouldn’t be able to do it… and then the Darkness Origin would become his enemy.

Even if he didn’t kill Lu Ye, Lu Ye wouldn’t turn against the Demon Clan; he’d just abstain from attacking them, not become their friend.

How to choose?

How to choose!

Lu Ye had already lost a life.

He could actually die!

He was a Celestial Lord reborn!

Losing so many from the Demon Clan to kill just one Lu Ye…

Difficult!

This problem was way too difficult!

But right now, he simply didn’t have time to think it over too much.

Finally, he made a tough decision.

“Ten Thousand Demon Blood Array. Activate, refine Lu Ye to death!”

A thunderous roar erupted from the Heartless Demon Lord’s mouth.

Upon hearing this roar, both An Li and Lu Ye felt a weight lift off their hearts simultaneously.

Steady!

An Li thought it was settled; she wanted to witness Lu Ye’s downfall, not just lose a life.

Lu Ye felt steady too.

Although he claimed that if the Demon Clan attacked An Li, he would let them go, the truth was that even if the Demon Clan did attack, it would only let An Li experience betrayal once again, letting her savor the taste of it.

But to truly let the Demon Clan go because of this matter? Honestly, he’d feel a bit pained.

After all, there were so many from the Demon Clan!

How much stronger would the Emperor’s Banner be if they all were collected within it?

Most of the Demon Clan he had killed so far were actually due to the Emperor’s Banner’s attacks.

The Emperor’s Banner could strike broadly; it was practically a battlefield weapon.

Plus, the Stone Sword needed to be enhanced too.

If he didn’t make enemies, how would Lu Ye’s strength improve?

So, when the Demon Clan chose An Li, Lu Ye genuinely felt happy for them.

How nice!

“Hahaha, did you see that! Did you see that!” An Li laughed excitedly.

She was talking to the Darkness Origin.

She was showing the Darkness Origin that she definitely had what it took to push Lu Ye to the brink of despair.

When the Demon Clan completely stood by her side, this time, Lu Ye would at the very least lose three lives, maybe even four.

This time, she could completely silence the old, ageless beings within the Darkness Origin.

In her last life, those old things were almost wiped out by Lu Ye, but in this life, she could obliterate Lu Ye’s many lives. That was her value, that was her strength!

The Darkness Origin exhaled softly.

Shouldn’t it feel happy?

But why didn’t it seem that happy?

Oh. It was struck too badly!

However, if it really could claim a few of Lu Ye’s lives, it wouldn’t be losing out; in fact, even just one life would make the Darkness Origin feel like it had made its investments back.

Kill kill kill!

The Ten Thousand Demon Blood Array activated, and blood mist surged around the Demon Clan warriors. Though their faces turned pale, their aura skyrocketed, making them appear enormous.

Lu Ye felt the pressure explode.

But he wouldn’t hold back anymore.

A massive amount of weapons suddenly turned to dust as he activated the Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra.

Sword light buzzed.

The Great Slaughter Sword Canon erupted, and with each successive killing blow, streaks of blood energy continuously flowed into Lu Ye’s body as he reaped lives.

As time passed, a gigantic and terrifying blood-red sword light suddenly charged toward An Li.

Wherever the sword light passed, all the Demon Clan warriors turned to ashes.

No one expected Lu Ye to burst forth with such a terrifying sword light, carving out a path through the countless Demon Clan warriors.

An Li’s expression changed.

A thick sense of death’s crisis engulfed her like deep ocean waters, nearly making it hard for her to breathe.

This sword was too terrifying.

No one could withstand this attack.

If this sword had been aimed at a weak point in the Demon Clan forces, Lu Ye might have had a chance to cut his way out.

But he chose to slash at An Li instead.

One could only say that Lu Ye was deeply in love with An Li.

An Li’s body went on high alert.

She couldn’t stop this sword, and among those present, no one could block it for her.

“Be careful!” The Heartless Demon Lord shouted but had no intention of throwing himself into harm’s way to intercept it for her.

At that moment, An Li suddenly thought that if she and Lu Ye weren’t enemies, Lu Ye would surely throw himself in front of her, no matter how strong the sword light was.

As expected, there were very few Lu Yes in this world.

What the Heartless Demon Lord said sounded nice, but that was all it was.

A black barrier appeared in front of An Li.

Yeah, that’s right, still the power of the Darkness Origin.

Shen Xitang and the Heavenly Dao had prepared long ago. The instant the Darkness Origin appeared, countless black calamity thunders rained down from the void, striking at the Darkness Origin.

Darkness Origin???

No way, Lu Ye has gotten like this? Does it still need to use my energy?

“Don’t speak, didn’t you see how powerful this sword is?”

The Darkness Origin, ready to express dissatisfaction, was suddenly stumped by this response.

Hey, she can answer back now?

The sword light violently collided with the shield, releasing terrifying fluctuations that made the Heartless Demon Lord’s eyelids twitch.

If that sword had aimed at him, how could he dodge?

So, the Heartless Demon Lord quietly hid behind An Li.

He had learned from An Li that in his previous life, he was assassinated by Lu Ye just as he was about to accomplish his grand plan.

He couldn’t die again this time.

An Li…

This Heartless Demon Lord…

Sure enough, there are too few men like Lu Ye who have responsibility and commitment.

Another day of wanting to become Lu Ye’s Dao Companion.

The sword light shattered, and the Darkness Origin’s power vanished.

Lu Ye continued to accumulate energy.

“Be cautious, watch for Lu Ye to use this sword energy to break through!” An Li shouted loudly.

“Don’t worry, it’s unlikely. Although this sword energy is strong, it doesn’t cover a large area. As long as we prepare in advance, even if he cuts a path, we can quickly intercept him; he won’t escape!” The Heartless Demon Lord confidently stated.

An Li gently nodded; if he can’t escape, then that’s best.

Soon, another sword light charged toward An Li.

This time, Lu Ye maintained it for a longer time, and the Emperor’s Banner had already descended into madness, its three main souls letting out thunderous cries as they rapidly reaped the souls of the Demon Clan.

Each time he used the Great Slaughter Sword Canon to form a terrifying killing sword energy, Lu Ye would always send it towards An Li first.

An Li had no choice but to use the Darkness Origin’s power to defend, while Shen Xitang seized this chance to unleash the accumulated calamity thunders, each bolt more powerful than the last, easily obliterating five hundred years of accumulation from the Darkness Origin.
