Chapter 454: A Tear Drop

How did it come to this?

The Darkness Origin was utterly shocked.

With the Heavenly Dao shackled in various ways and the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ laws in effect, trying to unleash powerful forces from the Nine Heavens would inevitably face the Great Sage’s layers of control.

So what’s going on now?

Why is this happening?

The Darkness Origin was baffled, but that punch definitely hurt. It didn’t even have a heart, or else it would be bleeding from heartbreak.

Now, here comes another sword strike.

The Darkness Origin tried to block again, but under the black calamity thunder, it had no effect whatsoever.

After all, it couldn’t even withstand the weak thunder before, let alone now with this powerful strike.

Calamity thunder was just Heaven’s bane to the Darkness Origin.

The swordlight cut a large void through the Darkness Origin.

Retreat!

I must get out of here!

The Darkness Origin was terrified.

It had thought about asking if surrendering was an option, but Lu Ye was still Lu Ye, charging in like a mad dog without a single word. In this situation, all the Darkness Origin could say was, “Nice!”

The black mist suddenly shrank.

It fled quickly.

The Darkness Origin was quite good at escaping and vanished in an instant.

Just at that moment, the sky became oppressive.

The extreme oppressive aura rendered Lu Ye unable to move, but because his Dao heart was steady, his thoughts didn’t vanish; he simply looked up at the sky.

At this moment, a huge vortex turned above, accompanied by countless lightning bolts, painting a doomsday scene—there wasn’t just one vortex appearing.

A massive hand stretched out from the vortex; at that moment, even the Seventh Heaven could see thick arms piercing through it, extending from the Eighth Heaven.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, in order to smooth out the clash between the Heavenly Dao and the Darkness Origin, directly summoned most of the stray laws, resulting in a weakened state of the laws.

This made some people unable to sit still.

Lu Ye’s value was immense; a reborn Celestial Lord in hand would be like striking gold, a chance to realize Dao.

Some old-timers had no hesitation and made their move.

They wanted to capture Lu Ye and bring him to the Eighth Heaven.

Giant hands surged towards Lu Ye.

Bringing with them an overwhelming terrifying aura.

At that moment, a cold snort echoed.

“Am I, the gatekeeper of the Heavenly Gate, someone you can bully?”

The Great Emperor made his move.

It was Emperor Dao Hen, who had been in closed-door cultivation but was roused by the enormous thunderous sound.

Several arms were broken, and a terrifying battle erupted in the Eighth Heaven.

However, more fearful beings chose to join in, and although Emperor Dao Hen was strong, they were not afraid.

Once someone reaches the Emperor Realm, it’s tough to die; all Emperors, of course, would have conflicts, and some could even beat each other senseless.

Emperor Dao Hen’s power became even more terrifying, as he suppressed a crowd single-handedly.

But still, those giant hands were getting closer to Lu Ye.

Suddenly, a phoenix cry rang out.

Rushing purple fire clouds blanketed the skies; the entire Nine Heavens seemed ready to turn into a gigantic furnace.

It was the Purple Phoenix Emperor, who was surprisingly helping Lu Ye.

The purple flames were terrifying, turning the approaching hands to ashes.

“Fellow Daoist, I’m here to lend you a hand!”

Another voice filled with time-worn gravitas echoed.

Who was it?

It was the Sky Dome Emperor!

Both of these were former subordinates of Shangguan Huanling, but due to their good relationship with Lu Ye, he had allowed Shangguan Huanling to challenge these two Emperors.

If Shangguan Huanling had provocatively challenged the Ancient Emperor, Lu Ye would have certainly stopped her beforehand.

Three Emperors jointly intervened, finally halting the terrifying presence that was targeting Lu Ye from the Eighth Heaven.

These two Emperors were quite smart, for during the Nine Heavens live stream, the memory of Yue Hongling once showed her squabbling with Shangguan Huanling.

Shangguan Huanling shouted that her record was verifiable!

Among those names mentioned were the Purple Phoenix Emperor and the Sky Dome Emperor. If they took notice of that incident, they would surely realize Lu Ye had a good relationship with them before his rebirth.

After all, he allowed that silly woman to show off in front of them in the previous life; if their relationship wasn’t good, that wouldn’t have happened.

Since they were good in the previous life, in this life, the two surely wouldn’t mind continuing that way!

With three Emperors stepping in, Lu Ye’s immediate crisis was defused.

No, only the threat from above was diffused; there was still another crisis unresolved.

The Sea of Forgetfulness!

After the Darkness Origin fled, the entire Sea of Forgetfulness was still undergoing constant changes, with Lu Ye’s figure still trapped in a state of immobility.

The Sea of Forgetfulness had locked onto him!

Just a wisp of its aura made Lu Ye feel utterly helpless.

“System, start simulation!”

That was the aura of the Compassionless Sage.

The Sea of Forgetfulness infinitely contracted; what was once an expansive ocean was now a compact mass. The more it compressed, the stronger the Compassionless Sage’s aura became.

Ultimately, the entire Sea of Forgetfulness transformed into a drop.

That was a drop of tear!

The last tear of the Compassionless Sage turned into the Sea of Forgetfulness, now reverting to tears.

This drop of tear floated towards Lu Ye.

“Ding, simulation successful!”

In an instant, a massive amount of information flooded into Lu Ye’s mind, causing him to curl his soul together, his Dao heart in its most resilient defensive state.

This was a tear from the Compassionless Sage, capable of obliterating all emotions in the world.

Was this the reason the Darkness Origin brought him here?

As expected, this move was led by Yin Qingcheng, for she loved to attack from the heart.

Sometimes, Lu Ye felt that being emotionless wasn’t such a bad thing.

But recently, with the system, with the Little Heavenly Dao, with swords and banners and trees, Lu Ye felt there were some beautiful things in this world.

Plus, I could be emotionless, but because I want to be, I take the initiative to sever emotions, instead of being forced into it.

This drop of tear floated toward Lu Ye.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens had dealt with the situation. Rather than dissipating, he watched the scene unfold.

Of course, he wouldn’t interfere.

He was merely curious about what would happen next.

Lu Ye’s eyes reflected that drop of tear.

The tear swiftly entered Lu Ye’s forehead. Lu Ye shuddered violently.

The terrifying Dao of Compassionlessness and Severance swiftly spread through Lu Ye’s body, bringing him back to the feelings he had experienced during the eruption of his Reincarnation Obsession.

The pain of losing my love, everything in ruins!
