Chapter 581: Naptime Brings Pillows

“Pfft…”

The sphere infused with a world-shattering aura was sliced in half by the sword light, its precision akin to a laser cutting through tofu.

This beam of sword light brushed right past the Devouring Dao Beast.

Of course, it wouldn’t split the Devouring Dao Beast in half—otherwise, it would really be two halves of a beast.

The energy orbs that split apart detonated on either side, energy surging but no longer posing any threat.

“Master, you’re amazing!”

The Devouring Dao Beast couldn’t help but cheer.

Although it had lost, so what? This was its master, the Celestial Lord, a Quasi-Saint who had already begun transcending the tribulations of becoming a Saint in the last life.

Of course, it was perfectly normal to be defeated.

Even when its master was at the Yuan Dan realm and defeated the Quasi-Emperor, that was just par for the course.

Because this was the unparalleled power of its master.

Lu Ye’s face turned slightly pale.

Everything was fine, just extremely draining, as the evolution of Primordial Force had caused a significant reduction in total energy.

After a few attacks, he felt a wave of emptiness.

“Let’s go back.”

“Okay!”

Lu Ye sat atop the back of the Devouring Dao Beast, lost in thought.

The treasures were used up, and the world within him was like a gold-eating beast. So many Quasi-Emperors from the Seventh Heaven helped him hunt for the Four Spirits Treasures, yet how much had he opened up now?

Even if he hadn’t completely cleaned out the Four Spirits Treasures of the Seventh Heaven, he’d already collected about fifty to sixty percent. The rest were going to be tough to gather.

He still needed treasures.

Lu Ye’s inner world couldn’t be compared to the current world. The reason he lacked Four Spirits Treasures now was that after the opening of the heavens and earth, many of the Four Spirits of Heaven had evolved into other things, like the endless stars.

In fact, these stars were also considered Four Spirits Treasures, except the energy contained within them was extremely dispersed and weak. If Lu Ye chose to refine the stars, it would not only be labor-intensive but also equivalent to digging up the roots of Shen Xitang and Little Heavenly Dao.

Lu Ye obviously wouldn’t do that.

So, where to find the Four Spirits Treasures next?

Just as Lu Ye was pondering, the heavenly pattern on his forehead suddenly began to vibrate and flicker slightly.

Who’s looking for me?

Lu Ye closed his eyes.

“Master of the Gate, how have you been lately?” Emperor Dao Hen asked with a grin.

“Not bad, how about you?” Lu Ye replied.

“Hahaha, also good! Now, guess who I’m with?”

By now, Emperor Dao Hen had long regarded Lu Ye as an equal, conversing as if with an old friend.

Lu Ye took a shot in the dark.

“Infinite Great Emperor?”

“Hahaha, you truly are clever! I’m currently with Infinite Daoist. Why didn’t you tell me if you were in trouble? Don’t tell me you didn’t take me as your subordinate?” Emperor Dao Hen joked.

“What subordinate? I’m not worthy of having an Emperor as my subordinate.” Lu Ye chuckled.

“But Infinite Daoist says he considers himself your subordinate. You’re the Grand Master of the Heavenly Gate, aren’t you still a subordinate?”

“Friends, we are all good Daoists, not really subordinates.”

After some light-hearted banter, Emperor Dao Hen got to the point.

“I heard you need the Four Spirits Treasures. I just collected some from the Eighth Heaven and beyond, and I’m about to teleport them back to the Heavenly Gate. For a while, Infinite Daoist and I will keep gathering them and send them back to you regularly.”

Upon hearing this, excitement welled up in Lu Ye’s heart.

Emperor Dao Hen is something else!

He had been worrying about resources when suddenly, out of nowhere, someone delivered a solution.

Honestly, this was an experience Lu Ye had never had before.

In his previous life, nothing like this ever happened—not even once.

This life truly felt like getting aid in the snow.

His last life was more like being robbed in the snow.

Comparatively, Lu Ye’s fists couldn’t help but clench in exhilaration.

Damn!

For a moment, Lu Ye didn’t even know what to say.

He…

Sigh…

A thousand thoughts swirled in Lu Ye’s mind.

“Master, remember to tell me next time you need something. We are all part of the Heavenly Gate, and it’s only right we help each other.”

“Sure.”

Lu Ye’s response grew brief.

“Well, there’s nothing else, so I’ll take my leave now. Not to hide it from you, I can’t wait to discuss Dao with Infinite Daoist, especially since he can’t currently defeat me, hahaha…”

Lu Ye couldn’t help but smile.

The divine pattern faded dimly.

Lu Ye gazed into the void ahead.

Turns out, there’s truth to that saying:

Love flows only towards those who have enough of it.

“Back to the Heavenly Gate!”

It looks like it’s time for a big move!

Lu Ye’s blood was already boiling.

Dark Clan, just wait for me!

…

In the Darkness Origin.

The awakening of the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord nearly turned the Heavenly Blood Great Emperor into a dried husk.

The clash between the two drew the attention of countless Emperors and Quasi-Emperors, but the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord remained unsatisfied, calling forth even more beings; whether you wanted to wake up or not, you were waking up.

This was the tyrannical nature of the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord.

One after another, fearsome figures emanating terrifying auras sat cross-legged in the darkness, all gazing at the blood-red throne above them, where the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord resided.

All discontent had to be buried deep within, not daring to reveal even a hint.

The Darkness Origin formed a mass, and unlike the others’ solemnity, it was obviously taking it easy.

“Sea of Blood, what grand scheme are you plotting?” the Darkness Origin directly called out to the Sea of Blood.

Others didn’t dare to ask, but not her. Given Sea of Blood’s age and withered appearance… No, given Sea of Blood’s frail state, could the Darkness Origin really be intimidated by that?

Even Nine Lives could self-detonate and take her along; the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord couldn’t directly blow up the Darkness Origin.

The half-lidded eyes of the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord slowly opened.

“The reason I’ve awakened you all is that I’ve seen the future. You all will die soon,” the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord said calmly.

One sentence made the numerous Emperors and Quasi-Emperors’ faces change slightly.

“Will you listen to me?”

Although it was a question, its tone was filled with indifference.

The implication was clear—you had no right to refuse.

“Celestial Lord, why are we destined to die in the future?” one Emperor dared to ask.

“By a reembodied individual named Lu Ye.”

The others exchanged glances, but at this moment, the Great Emperor of Covering Heaven took the initiative to explain.

“During your slumber, you may not know. A reembodied individual has appeared in this world, reversing time to return to the earliest point of his cultivation, which is two thousand four hundred years ago.”

Yes, from the start of his cultivation to now, Lu Ye had accumulated a staggering two thousand four hundred years of experience.

Especially after reaching the Seventh Heaven, time had truly become worthless.
