Chapter 432: Primordial Force

“It’s so beautiful!”

Lu Ye gazed into the fiery blaze burning in his dantian.

It looked like a massive beehive on fire, layers of flames stacking endlessly, mesmerizing anyone who dared to look.

All of his clones, including his Yuan Ying, were immersed in the flames.

Lu Ye glanced at the pristine space wristbands, a pained expression spreading across his face.

Who the heck calculated this?

The relics of the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign, along with those of the Endless Emperor, had been tossed around and reduced to almost nothing.

He had thought these treasures might just help him step into the Emperor Realm, but now they were all gone.

Lu Ye had gone from riches to rags in an instant.

Suddenly, a flicker of excitement crossed his face.

His eyes widened slightly.

He couldn’t afford to hesitate, as within the world of his dantian, a terrifying explosion and fire had given birth to a new force.

This was the source of power, the origin of the world.

It had another name, the Primordial Qi.

The birth of Primordial Force was happening!

Lu Ye’s Yuan Ying lunged toward the Primordial Qi, drawn by its allure.

How precious was this stuff?

In his previous life, Lu Ye had only obtained a wisp of it, which he had given to the System, empowering it to replace the Heavenly Dao completely.

Even Lu Ye didn’t understand how mystical the Primordial Qi was, but it was definitely something that made Celestial Lords go crazy, even Saints craved but could not attain a wisp of it.

As his Yuan Ying traversed through a series of grids, it arrived before a wisp of lavender Primordial Qi.

That color…

It was indeed somewhat reminiscent of the Emperor’s Banner!

The Yuan Ying opened its mouth and, without hesitation, swallowed the wisp of Primordial Qi.

At that moment, a look of pain appeared on its face.

The Yuan Ying had no ability to resist, instantly turning to dust.

But Lu Ye wasn’t worried at all, because the Primordial Qi would never let the Yuan Ying be destroyed; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to swallow it.

A purple glow erupted, and within that glow, the Yuan Ying reappeared.

Just as it reformed, it turned to dust again, but strangely enough, this time, the Yuan Ying felt no pain. Instead, it had a blissful expression.

Transformation!

The Yuan Ying was undergoing transformation!

Shattering again and again, transcending into a higher state.

Infinite sublimation, infinite evolution.

Lu Ye watched this transformation, quietly keeping count.

Ten times!

Twenty times!

Thirty times!

Forty times!

Forty-one!

……

Forty-eight!

Forty-nine!

The Dao of fifty, slipping away one!

The Heavenly Sequence of forty-nine, boundless and infinite!

After forty-nine transformations, Lu Ye’s strength reached the pinnacle of the Imperishable Realm, but!

But his True Essence had undergone a dramatic change. What he could call it now was perhaps better described as Primordial Force.

Just that one wisp of Primordial Force boosted the strength of his True Essence to countless levels.

Lu Ye felt it and was shocked.

This energy intensity had surprisingly reached the level of a Quasi-Emperor.

Yes, Quasi-Emperor!

Maybe it was because the Emperor’s power was so overwhelming that in the end, he couldn’t quite reach that level, but Quasi-Emperor!

Of course, compared to a Quasi-Emperor, Lu Ye’s total energy was still a drop in the bucket, but the key was, he didn’t have to fight one right now!

Even if he ascended to the Sixth Heaven, Lu Ye would likely only face someone from the Void Realm.

Thanks, Great Sage of the Nine Heavens!

Meanwhile, within Lu Ye’s Yuan Ying, True Essence kept transforming, continually enhancing in quality.

As long as the power of the Primordial Qi didn’t dissipate, at this rate, perhaps all he needed to surpass to wield Emperor’s power would be to reach the Great Dao Realm.

Maybe even sooner!

Awesome!

Lu Ye shook off the regrets of his monumental loss.

Consuming so many treasures and still peaking at the fifteenth level of the Imperishable Realm; the benefits for his future outweighed the losses from those treasures he had absorbed.

The flames continued to burn.

Lu Ye decided to keep his Yuan Ying inside for now.

This flame was going to burn for a while, and when it extinguished, the world’s shape would undergo colossal changes. Lu Ye was quite looking forward to it.

“System, good job!” Lu Ye addressed the System.

“Ding, at your service, host!”

“Beep?”

“Little Heavenly Dao, you worked hard too!”

“Beep, at your service, host!”

“Stop by my world when you have time.”

“Beep? No, I don’t want to.”

……

Lu Ye was fired up.

His journey through the Fifth Heaven was nearly at an end.

Now he just needed to exit the No Return Cave and face his Heavenly Tribulation before soaring up.

He wouldn’t even think about crossing the Tribulation in this passage; what if he came out and faced a hundred-year-old monster standing right in front of him?

His figure turned into a streak of light, racing toward the No Return Cave.

“System, how long has it been since I entered the No Return Cave?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding, One hundred twenty years, four months, and fifteen days.”

Only a bit over a hundred years?

That’s bearable. He thought he had been nesting for a few hundred years.

Immersed for so long, completely outpaced by time, he had no idea how long had passed, just wanting to get out faster and faster.

After another stretch of flying, Lu Ye finally spotted some light.

He reached the end of the passage.

This maze in the Chaos was hidden by the Heavenly Thief Demon Sovereign. Normally, there wouldn’t have been any entrance left, but due to the pressure from the Demon Ancestor hunting him down, he didn’t even have time to close the entrance, which is why the No Return Cave remained.

After all this time, I wonder if Shangguan Huanling has managed to cultivate the Supreme Emotion Immortal Sutra.

Yue Hongling and the Vermilion Bird must have already ascended too, but it didn’t matter; he had truly reached the limit of the Fifth Heaven. All he needed to do was get out and face his tribulation to ascend.

Who knows if entering the Sixth Heaven would result in some colossal battle.

Come on, bring on some enemies!

The kids are practically starving!

Eternal Order Sect, oh Eternal Order Sect, why’d you go and back down like that?

Continuing to fight would have been so great; Lu Ye’s past life made him all too familiar with the goods of the Eternal Order Sect.

What a pity! What a pity!

Lu Ye stepped out of the No Return Cave.

He was the first to emerge after such a long time; it was just that the location of the No Return Cave was a bit off, appearing in the Fifth Heaven. How could any cultivator from the Fifth Heaven ever find their way out?

Just as he came out…

“Brother Lu Ye!”

“Senior Brother!”

“Husband!”

Sun Ruowei opened her mouth, but ultimately decided to keep quiet and silently stepped aside, her expression lighting up.

Let’s watch the show begin!
