Chapter 598: Brothers in Chaos

“Saint?”

Before the black giant egg even cracked open, a calm voice rang out.

“Yes!”

The Darkness Origin began recounting everything that had recently transpired.

The Darkness Celestial Lord fell silent for a moment, then the black giant egg melted away, all of it merging into the Darkness Celestial Lord’s body.

Wearing a flowing black robe, the middle-aged figure had a pale face devoid of facial hair, exuding an unexpectedly scholarly aura.

If he were to walk among the ordinary folk, many might mistake him for a schoolteacher rather than a formidable being who had once dared to challenge the Saint of Eternal Life.

Although defeated, he had once triumphed over the Saint of Eternal Life, only to misstep in the end, allowing the Saint to achieve sainthood.

It’s fair to say that the Darkness Celestial Lord nearly severed the Saint’s path to immortality.

This was a very ancient existence, the Saint of Eternal Life belonging to times long past, yet the Darkness Celestial Lord still lived on and had not yet reached the end of his vitality.

Possibly, it was due to having fought the Saint of Eternal Life too many times, making the Darkness Celestial Lord somewhat knowledgeable about the way of eternity, combined with the existence of Darkness Origin, that he managed to live for such a long time.

“Celestial Lord, you’ve emerged!” The Darkness Origin said, genuinely happy.

That was true happiness; indeed, the temptation of becoming a saint was immense.

Even the Darkness Celestial Lord couldn’t escape it.

Back when the Darkness Celestial Lord clashed with the Saint of Eternal Life, they had both suffered severe wounds in a brutal stand-off.

They fought until they were nearly out of gas, both sides nearly spent.

Unfortunately, the Saint of Eternal Life practiced the path of immortality, excelling in healing, allowing him to recover faster than the Darkness Celestial Lord and achieve sainthood directly.

The Darkness Celestial Lord came close to perishing; by the time he healed sufficiently to come out of seclusion, the Saint of Eternal Life had already become the Saint of Eternal Life.

Just one misstep!

While to everyone else it was merely a misstep, the Darkness Celestial Lord understood that a tiny difference could lead to vast consequences.

After becoming a saint, the Saint of Eternal Life relentlessly pursued the Darkness Celestial Lord.

After all, uprooting the cause was a significant method for the eternal life.

But despite that, the Darkness Celestial Lord still managed to escape.

“Wake that guy up too,” the Darkness Celestial Lord said, glancing at the Demon Ancestor’s location.

“I’ve been awake for ages! How could I miss out on such a great event?”

A bold voice rang out.

The black giant egg exploded, revealing a robust figure in the sight of the Darkness Origin. There was a closed vertical eye in his forehead that occasionally seeped menacing blood-red energy, giving an eerie chill to anyone who looked at him.

Behind him, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner stood silently.

But everyone knew, a silent dog is the most terrifying.

This Ten Thousand Souls Banner didn’t release any aura, which in itself was a grim matter.

In the last era of dark chaos, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner that Lu Ye saw belonged to the Demon Ancestor, and it was truly a sight obscuring the sky, countless souls uncontrollably racing towards the banner, terrifying anyone who beheld it.

The Celestial Lords on the Nine Heavens had to step in to stop the Demon Ancestor, or else the entire population of the Nine Heavens might drop to less than a tenth.

It could even lead to extinction.

The Demon Ancestor’s Ten Thousand Souls Banner had absorbed who knows how many souls during the darkest times; only the Demon Ancestor knew how many souls lay within.

In the past era of dark turmoil, it ended with the fall of the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord, leaving Lu Ye with no chance to face these two powerful Celestial Lords.

At that time, the Darkness Celestial Lord and the Demon Ancestor realized Lu Ye’s rise was unstoppable, so they simply gave up.

He was the chosen one, much like the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens; all who stood in his way perished.

The Demon Ancestor survived simply because he ran fast.

The Darkness Celestial Lord couldn’t help but snort when he saw the Demon Ancestor.

This guy was incredibly crude.

“Old Darkness, let’s go meet that Sea of Blood fellow,” the Demon Ancestor said with a laugh.

The Darkness Celestial Lord…

Called himself “old man.”

“I told you, call me Fellow Daoist,” the Darkness Celestial Lord replied.

“No, no, no, all my Fellow Daoists are in my treasure! Want to come in? If you do, I’ll definitely make you my Fellow Daoist,” the Demon Ancestor said with a grin.

The Darkness Celestial Lord chose to ignore this guy.

His figure vanished in an instant.

“Old man, wait for me!”

The Demon Ancestor’s figure also disappeared.

When they reappeared, both stood before the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord, not caring whether he was cultivating or not.

If he was in cultivation, it was simple; just don’t cultivate.

“Where’s the Dark Beginning Insect Seal? Let me see it,” the Darkness Origin said.

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord opened his eyes.

“I’ve already swallowed it,” the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord said with a smile.

The Demon Ancestor frowned.

“Aren’t you worried about any mistakes?”

The Sea of Blood Celestial Lord candidly replied, “I’m more afraid of being robbed, especially by you.”

The Demon Ancestor…

Fine, can’t argue with that; the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord was quite clever. If he ate slowly, the Demon Ancestor wouldn’t resist the urge to take it.

Must research it; it’d be nice if he could handle it himself.

“No worries, I don’t blame you. We’re brothers. I’d like to discuss something; will you agree?” the Demon Ancestor said with a smile.

“After I die, my soul will completely vanish, not a trace will remain!” the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord emphasized.

The Demon Ancestor…

“I haven’t mentioned anything yet.”

“Anyway, my soul will definitely not exist. Now, what’s on your mind?”

“Forget it, not saying anymore.”

A Sea of Blood Celestial Lord who wouldn’t leave behind a soul wasn’t a good brother; nothing more to say.

The Demon Ancestor then looked towards the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord.

“Well, I shouldn’t die yet…” the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord said weakly.

Among the four Celestial Lords, the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord was slightly weaker; he was also the one who brought Bai Huxin into the Darkness Origin.

Lu Ye had just ascended to the rank of Great Emperor when he took down the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord.

Looking back at the chaos, Lu Ye had truly been busy.

First, he was being hunted down by the Great Emperor while at the Quasi-Emperor level, in a life-or-death situation.

After becoming an Emperor, Yin Qingcheng caused a scene, taking on attacks for him, and he immediately sought out the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord for a fight to rescue An Li.

After saving An Li, he was nonstop putting out fires everywhere.

Then he clashed with the Fallen Dao Celestial Lord and wiped him out directly.

This led to the end of the dark turmoil.

You could say he really was swamped.

“Hey, it’s just a matter of time. You know what? If after you die, you agree to let your soul go to me, I can take care of those women you brought!”

The Fallen Dao Celestial Lord…

Good heavens, are you trying to eat your cake and have it too?
