Chapter 060: Not Weak

“What happened?”

Outside the Genius Ancient Battlefield.

Especially the experts from the Supreme Imperial Court, they were fuming.

Just a moment ago, a bunch of their people, including Prince Shangguan Wuchang, had died.

“Who? Who killed my people from the Supreme Imperial Court?”

His eyes were bloodshot, fury reaching its peak, murderous intent overflowing.

“My Yin-Yang Sect disciples are dead too? Damn it, is there going to be another big battle?”

“No, it’s not a big battle; how could a big battle end this quickly? This is slaughter!”

“Who is it?”

“Whoever it is, my Supreme Imperial Court will definitely not let them off!”

Many people listening to the Supreme Imperial Court’s ruckus couldn’t help but frown.

Too fast.

What exactly happened inside the Genius Ancient Battlefield? So many geniuses had fallen in such a short time; it was simply shocking.

Bai Qiulan raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

Something’s not right?

No one from the Supreme Sword Sect, Robber Sect, or Grand Dao Sect had died; those three sects have always had good relations.

Now several from the Yin-Yang Sect had perished, two from the Mountain River Pagoda Sect, and a pile from the Supreme Imperial Court.

She felt like it was Lu Ye’s doing.

In the Genius Ancient Battlefield, only Lu Ye could possibly unleash such terrifying power.

Let’s hope it isn’t Lu Ye; if he clashed with these forces, they might be utterly destroyed.

Inside the Genius Ancient Battlefield.

A mass of people had hurriedly rushed in, filled with excitement, and now they were leaving all dejected.

The power Lu Ye had just shown was a heavy blow to their confidence.

Everyone was a genius.

On the path of cultivation, some were ahead, some were behind; that was to be expected.

But right now, they all started on the same starting line, and before they even reached halfway, he had already taken the trophy.

Lu Ye’s presence loomed like a mountain, standing in their path.

They could keep pushing forward, but if they wanted to truly become top-tier experts, Lu Ye would be an unavoidable obstacle.

Ding Yuqing was also pondering what to say.

“My senior brother killed your senior brother?” Yue Hongling reappeared, staring at Lu Qingyan.

Lu Qingyan…

“Then it’s my turn to kill you next.”

Yue Hongling was itching for a fight.

Lu Qingyan was undoubtedly strong, a perfect opponent for her, but Lu Ye’s rapid power boost made her feel a pressing urgency in her heart.

“Hongling…”

Ding Yuqing’s voice was a bit weak.

Are you two trying to turn the sky upside down?

The genius of the Yin-Yang Sect spoke up, “Five of our Yin-Yang Sect brothers died. They were fighting against demons and didn’t fall then, yet they died at the hands of our own—this matter cannot just end here!”

“My Mountain River Pagoda Sect will also demand an explanation from the Grand Dao Sect!”

But not right now.

Demanding an explanation now would just bring Lu Ye out.

Waiting until they leave the Genius Ancient Battlefield, or until the last Third Layer of the Genius Ancient Battlefield opens, would be better.

“The human clan has left?”

“Seems like it.”

“Let’s go see what’s going on!”

All sides reacted; there were too many humans before, and the other races were too afraid of some hidden plot to dare approach.

Now that a large group of humans had left, they felt safe enough to peek out.

But still, they didn’t dare get close.

They took a distant look.

Seeing Lu Ye sitting calmly as usual in his meditative posture, the Tree of Enlightenment gently swaying, tendrils of light spreading out around him.

Upon closer inspection, they could see the traces of battle and blood stains.

They definitely fought.

And the result was obvious—Lu Ye won.

The demon clan, ghost clan, and divine clan were baffled; what on earth was going on?

The human clan came in with such strength and bravado, only to leave dejected?

The demon clan and Buddha Sect both sighed in relief, feeling much better.

So it really wasn’t that they were too weak; it was just that Lu Ye was too strong.

“It was him; he killed Tu Wuying with one sword.” The Heavenly Demon Emperor’s son, Ye An, spoke gloomily.

“It’s him!”

All the powerful figures from the demon clan exclaimed in shock.

No wonder the Tree of Enlightenment was right there; facing such a treasure, Ye An warned everyone in the demon clan countless times not to touch the humans beneath it.

Turns out they’d been haunted by psychological trauma.

“Now that a peerless genius has emerged from the human clan, what should we do?”

Everyone understood the terror of such a peerless genius.

The rise of such an existence would inevitably be accompanied by countless blood and fire.

This peerless genius belonged to the human clan, which was clear; the blood and fire would belong to the alien races.

“Now there’s only one choice!”

Ye An’s eyes gleamed with a vicious light.

“What choice?”

“Wait until the last Third Layer of the Genius Ancient Battlefield opens, and the true experts from all races join forces to kill this guy!”

“But the powerful ones from the human clan will come to protect him, right?”

Ye An snorted coldly.

“Haven’t you noticed? He prefers to act alone, and we just need to strike fastest; the humans won’t be able to rescue him in time.”

“Young Master, you’re brilliant!”

Ye An took a deep glance at Lu Ye.

If someone like him didn’t die, the alien races might as well forget about sleeping.

He immediately set off to contact various forces.

Just waiting for the last Third Layer of the Genius Ancient Battlefield to open!

…

At this moment, Lu Ye was feeling slightly conflicted.

What level is he at now? Breaking Embryo level twelve?

Inside his dantian, little Lu Ye had turned into a mini giant; if he wanted to break through and reach the Refining Void Realm, he could do so at any time.

But he was worried about possibly encountering unknown toxins next.

As long as he broke through, that power untouched by time would explode forth.

He was considering waiting until the last three layers opened, getting the Blood Sea Pristine Pearl, and giving that Eternal Genius Ranking a good ol’ punch.

That punch would surely be very much appreciated by the Eternal Genius Ranking.

At that time, a massive amount of power would be conferred to Lu Ye, and he could seize the chance to break through to the Refining Void Realm.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t the last treasure to refine the third life in the Genius Ancient Battlefield; that treasure was called the Withered Man Wood.

Gathering the Withered Man Wood, Blood Sea Pristine Pearl, plus the Golden Sunflower, could create the third life.

This time around, he didn’t plan on using up another life.

Just like how he had deceived Bai Qiulan after just being reborn, if it truly came time to prove his path, and the nine lives returned to one, he might become one of the most powerful saints of all time.

His thoughts were running wild.

He could grasp the Dao well enough by now; his own Dao was already quite mature, and coming here to comprehend the Dao was just a different perspective to take in the scenery.

Now he had seen it.

Lu Ye stood up, just about to disappear.

But a branch landed on Lu Ye’s shoulder.

The Tree of Enlightenment swayed gently, requesting Lu Ye to take it away.
