Chapter 461: Can’t Hold It In Anymore

“Fellow Daoist, we take our leave!”

The cultivators from the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Palace said to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye wore a faint smile, “Safe travels, no need to see you off!”

A few cultivators felt something was off, but since Lu Ye didn’t seem hostile, they could only suppress their unease for now.

Lu Ye waved goodbye to the departing cultivators, his smile never fading.

Time to restore the Primordial Force!

…

In the Seventh Heaven, Yin Qingcheng was genuinely injured this time, tumbling down two minor realms before finally stabilizing.

Her pale complexion was almost ghostly.

Deep down, she suspected whether Lu Ye actually had memories of her but was just pretending to have forgotten.

However, after careful observation,

Lu Ye’s initial delight when he saw her was akin to hitting the jackpot.

Then, upon hearing her name, his expression turned to disappointment — a sort of disappointment akin to watching a cooked goose fly away.

Soon it shifted to boredom.

Finally, for some reason, his gaze suddenly brightened, but it definitely wasn’t because of her!

No one could act so skillfully.

If Lu Ye had any memory of her, there’s no way he’d be so relaxed.

He had completely forgotten her.

Ouch!

Yin Qingcheng felt an intense pain.

Hubby, I love you so much! Why do you keep hurting me over and over again?

First Shen Xitang, then our daughter, and now, you even cruelly forgot about me.

You haven’t forgotten Shangguan Huanling at all, and now you’ve forgotten me?

How could you be so heartless?

Still engulfed in sorrow, black mist began to swirl around her.

“How many lives has Lu Ye lost?” Darkness Origin’s tone was far from pleasant.

The extent of his loss had him feeling extreme discomfort, enough to have gone a bit crazy.

How on earth did Lu Ye manage this?

How could he allow his power to overshadow the Heavenly Dao’s power? Was he joking?

Seriously, what gives?

With Lu Ye’s current realm, he could borrow the Heavenly Dao’s power to unleash a strike that rivaled a Celestial Lord’s blow. Wasn’t that insane?

Darkness Origin couldn’t fathom how Lu Ye accomplished this.

He had previously tried to let An Li use his power, but she could only harness a fraction of it, boosting her attacks a bit.

Any more than that, and his power would shatter hers completely, triggering intervention from the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

The Heavenly Dao’s power should theoretically work the same way, so how could Lu Ye wrap his weak power around such immense power?

He wasn’t even the master of the Heavenly Dao! Their powers should be at odds!

But reality was right in front of him.

Darkness Origin was on the verge of exploding from anger.

Too much!

It was absolutely too much!

Upon hearing Darkness Origin’s question, Yin Qingcheng couldn’t help but shut her eyes.

“Not a single life lost!”

There was no point in lying, so she spoke the truth.

Darkness Origin…

So, he used himself as bait and caused such a ruckus, the Compassionless Sage’s power was activated, but it didn’t harm Lu Ye at all.

Instead, both he and Yin Qingcheng suffered greatly, one nearly broken while the other was on the brink of collapse.

“You’re really a piece of garbage!” Darkness Origin’s voice trembled with anger.

Yin Qingcheng’s expression was terrifying.

“Aren’t you just as useless? You’ve lived for so long but still can’t handle Lu Ye!”

“He’s got the Heavenly Dao on his side! What can I do?” Darkness Origin’s voice shot up.

Yin Qingcheng sneered, “Always making excuses. I can admit I’m useless, but you can’t even admit that you’re useless.”

Suddenly, the black mist transformed into hands, tightening around Yin Qingcheng’s neck.

Yin Qingcheng coldly stared at the mist, making no attempt to resist, perhaps realizing that even resistance wouldn’t help.

“Crack!”

Yin Qingcheng’s neck was snapped.

Yet, she showed no signs of begging for mercy; it was as if she wasn’t afraid of death.

Darkness Origin sighed.

Lu Ye, Lu Ye, between An Li and Yin Qingcheng, is your ancestral grave truly smoking? How did you manage to land these two?

No!

Eight of them!

Darkness Origin was even starting to laugh from anger.

Damn it!

Letting go of Yin Qingcheng, Darkness Origin began to ponder.

One An Li wasn’t enough, nor was one Yin Qingcheng.

What if they joined forces?

Would that work?

Seems like it still wouldn’t.

Darkness Origin felt he was getting completely frustrated.

Why did he have to be so cheeky back then, making fun of Lu Ye’s Celestial Lord Fist? Like it was his to mock?

Now he wanted to find someone to scope Lu Ye out, to see if he could switch sides!

But the old-timers within him definitely wouldn’t allow him to switch to someone else.

If Lu Ye agreed, he’d even sell off those old geezers!

Alright, first he’d gather intel on Lu Ye’s stance.

If that didn’t work, he’d pull An Li out to let both ladies brainstorm together.

With that thought, Darkness Origin vanished.

…

Lu Ye was swiftly restoring his Primordial Force.

The Celestial Lord Fist was definitely enjoyable to use, but boy, did it drain a lot of energy.

Lu Ye was a tad exhausted after just two punches; otherwise, those Forgetful Emotion cultivators wouldn’t have made it out so easily!

Fortunately, he still had some resources from last time, so his recovery was rapid.

“Master, someone claiming to be the heir of the Great Emperor of Covering Heaven requests an audience!”

As Lu Ye was regaining his strength, Ning Tianming spoke from outside the room.

Lu Ye opened his eyes.

Normally, people wouldn’t disturb him, but since this person claimed to be the Great Emperor’s heir and the Great Emperor had previously helped him, naturally, a report was in order.

Lu Ye opened his eyes wide.

The Great Emperor of Covering Heaven has a successor?

Why doesn’t that ring a bell?

Time to meet!

Lu Ye’s figure appeared at the Divine Gate.

A cute girl with lovely features was curiously peering inside from outside the mountain gate.

Lu Ye looked at the girl, certain he had never seen her before.

“Ding! She is Darkness Origin!”

The system chimed in.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, his fists already clenched.

The Celestial Lord Fist was ready to go at any moment.

As Lu Ye manifested, the girl immediately waved.

“Lu Ye, I have something important to discuss with you. You should know my identity, right?” Darkness Origin spoke through the girl.

Lu Ye…

It seemed like Darkness Origin had no plan to hide who he was.

So what does he want to do?
