Chapter 575: I’m No Longer in a Deep Sleep

You have to understand, the whole idea of reincarnation is incredibly tempting for the Celestial Lords. No, not just Celestial Lords!

It’s enticing for everyone.

Who wouldn’t want to know the future?

Who wouldn’t want to fix past regrets?

Even the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord thought that if he could be reborn and do it all over again…

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Achieving Sainthood is just way too hard.

Even if he were to be reborn, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord wouldn’t dare claim he would definitely become a Saint.

Sometimes when reflecting on life, many successful individuals feel a sense of relief because, on the path of cultivation, no one knows whether tomorrow or an unexpected event will arrive first, and luck plays a huge part.

Especially before the Nine Heavens formed, who could say he wouldn’t end up flattened by a giant hand falling from the sky?

Of course, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s concern about such matters might very well be one reason he can’t become a Saint.

“Nine Lives, Nine Lives, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord actually knows about reincarnation, and he knows you! Now he’s asking me about his future in the last life, what should I say?” the Darkness Origin hurriedly asked.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye wasn’t too surprised.

In his last life, he was a Celestial Lord, so it wasn’t shocking that a Celestial Lord had such means.

“To be honest, he probably has already seen the River of Time and guessed his own ending,” Lu Ye said.

“Oh, Nine Lives is so clever. Just wait for me, and I’ll ask you whenever I need to.”

“Sure!”

The Darkness Origin took Lu Ye’s response and relayed it to the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord grinned, “So, in my last life, I was basically making a garment for others?”

With his life, he allowed chaos to erupt, and the other old-timers within the Darkness Origin thrived.

“You could say that,”

“Then, since they benefited from my favor in the last life, shouldn’t they repay me in this life?” the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord inquired.

The Darkness Origin was taken aback.

This line of thinking…

Makes sense!

Yet, of course, she had to advise him.

“Well… everyone within me is from our same camp; it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to act against them.”

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Same camp?”

“Hahaha…”

After living for so many years, everyone in his same camp had already entered his Sea of Blood, becoming part of it.

Now the Darkness Origin was saying these people were in the same camp, wasn’t that just perfect!

So, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s form vanished instantly.

Just as he reentered the Darkness Origin, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord quickly found a target—a relatively young Great Emperor, full of energy and blood, but with his Dao injured, currently recuperating in the Darkness Origin.

Without a word, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord attacked.

The Great Emperor, known as the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor, suddenly awoke, startled and furious, defending against the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord’s onslaught.

“Sea of Blood Celestial Lord, what are you doing?” the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor exclaimed urgently.

“Nothing much, just borrowing some of your vitality!”

The gap between a Great Emperor and a Celestial Lord isn’t as dramatic as one might think; both are masters of myriad paths. However, a Celestial Lord not only masters the myriad paths but can also actively derive the Dao.

What does this mean?

It means the Celestial Lord already has the foundation for creating worlds.

As they clashed, the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor was immediately suppressed, his refined Heavenly Blood boiling uncontrollably.

He was furious.

“Stop fighting, both of you!”

The Darkness Origin couldn’t help but intervene.

In a mere moment, the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor was struck and spat out blood, the overwhelming energy fluctuations causing the already awakening Great Emperor and Quasi-Emperor to quickly open their eyes, only to see the Sea of Blood attacking the Heavenly Blood.

Their expressions changed drastically.

This can’t go on!

Although the entities within the Darkness Origin are all quite villainous, one cannot just let things escalate because they are united against an external enemy.

The way things are going now…

If the Celestial Lord turns against them, the Darkness Origin won’t be a refuge anymore; it’ll be a den of demons.

So, the several Great Emperors exchanged glances.

They had to step in to help.

The Heavenly Blood Great Emperor could no longer hold back, tapping into his essence and engaging in a fierce battle with the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord, his Heavenly Blood depleting at a terrifying rate.

“Celestial Lord, please cease hostilities! We are all one body, and this shouldn’t be how we treat each other,” a Great Emperor pleaded.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord was deaf to the words, solely focused on absorbing Heavenly Blood, a satisfied smile on his face.

Everyone started to plead.

The Darkness Origin was also urging.

“Stop it, don’t fight anymore!”

Finally, the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor couldn’t take it anymore and let out a long roar, unleashing an explosion of essence and immense imperial might, a blood flag appearing in his hand, releasing earth-shattering power.

But he was facing a Celestial Lord.

Even with his full eruption, he was still thoroughly suppressed, but his approach could make the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord suffer great losses.

The absorbed Heavenly Blood would only turn into energy flowing away.

However, he underestimated the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord, who suddenly transformed into a Sea of Blood, engulfing both the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor and the blood flag.

The Heavenly Blood Great Emperor let out a wail.

His figure floated within the Sea of Blood, almost visibly beginning to wither away.

The other Great Emperors couldn’t just stand by and watch; if they didn’t intervene now, they could very well face the same fate.

“Celestial Lord, please stand down!”

A white bone spear shot toward the Sea of Blood in an instant, endless wails emanating from it, hauntingly shrill.

Another skull exhaled thick black smoke.

Also, a Great Emperor’s technique released boundless divine light.

All directed at the Sea of Blood.

At this moment, the Sea of Blood suddenly expelled the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor, violently contracting and reshaping back into human form.

“That’s enough!”

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord shouted.

The attack came to an abrupt halt.

In the end, the attack did not fall on the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord, after all. Engaging a Celestial Lord isn’t something Great Emperors take lightly.

If there were any chance for reconciliation, they were reluctant to act against the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord. Everyone knew his time was short, and if he took some down with him before kicking the bucket, that would be terrifying.

Having absorbed a large amount of Heavenly Blood, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord felt much more comfortable.

He coldly glanced at the Great Emperors.

The Darkness Origin sighed; look at this, it was going well until now, but yet another Great Emperor has been ruined, what a joy.

“Next, I won’t be going into a deep sleep anymore,” the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord calmly said.

The Darkness Origin was like: ???

What?

Wait, if you won’t go to sleep, how will I frequently go bug Nine Lives for fun?

Isn’t that messing with me?

“So, if you’re not sleeping anymore, what are you planning to do?” the Darkness Origin asked.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord didn’t answer that question.

But his eyes sparkled with a chilling light.
