Chapter 638: No Enemies

Unknowingly, I had changed many things.

Some things really can’t be altered, but Lu Ye knew he had done his best.

The fluctuations of the River of Time were not as intense as in my previous life, not even reaching a tenth of that.

In my last life, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was like a madman, frantically reversing time, attempting it again and again—not knowing how many times he stirred up a storm.

Now, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was blocked by the Invincible Sword Lord. Although this delayed other matters, the key point was that the Celestial Lords from my last life were hunting down An Li in this lifetime.

“System, what’s the situation with An Li now?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding, An Li has broken free from the encirclement and is now competing with the Quasi-Emperor for resources. Her movements are erratic, and she grabs resources and runs,” the system replied.

Seems she’s gotten smarter.

However, if she’s only snatching the resources needed by the Quasi-Emperor, there’s really no need to worry too much. Those resources in An Li’s hands would just be like pocket change.

It wouldn’t elevate her overnight.

So, does this mean the Celestial Lords will stir up trouble again?

Lu Ye glanced at the 256 Dao paths in his Dao Fruit world, hesitated for a moment, then decisively vanished from sight.

He needed to meet the world’s strong combatants and see what paths they were cultivating.

And find the Four Spirit Treasures.

He was in a hurry to perfect the world within him and prepare for the future!

This chaotic war across time was ongoing.

Some people suddenly died without warning, and some stars just vanished for no reason.

But this was only for ordinary folks.

For the strong, their instincts warned them of impending crises even when they were weak, allowing them to intervene in advance.

Lu Ye’s figure appeared before a Celestial Lord.

This Celestial Lord was named Earth Celestial Lord. This was Lu Ye’s first encounter with a Celestial Lord after becoming an Emperor.

The Earth Celestial Lord looked at Lu Ye, his eyes narrowing slightly.

In an instant, the universe flipped, and the void stagnated.

Lu Ye felt a terrifying pressure enveloping him at that moment.

“Please, Celestial Lord, give me guidance!”

“Alright!”

The two didn’t waste words and immediately clashed.

The Earth Celestial Lord could clearly sense Lu Ye’s strength, so he didn’t dare slack off and struck with full force.

He didn’t want to be seen as just another Celestial Lord crushed by an Emperor—his reputation would be in shambles if that happened!

But when he really fought Lu Ye, the Earth Celestial Lord couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Forget about anything else; just the intensity of Lu Ye’s energy was already on par with his own, and Lu Ye’s arm seemed to have been tempered countless times.

The Earth Celestial Lord unleashed the Earth Monarch Flag to suppress Lu Ye.

Lu Ye employed various powerful divine abilities, constantly shattering the giant stars formed by the overwhelming God Soil.

Their battle caused slight disturbances in the River of Time, but it was manageable and wouldn’t greatly affect it.

Lu Ye was very aware of the might of a Celestial Lord, but he didn’t expend his essence; this was merely sparring.

The two stood in Chaos, their gestures dispelling it, resonating with the heavens and the earth.

Equal in strength!

The Earth Celestial Lord’s eyes held confusion.

He couldn’t accept how a Great Emperor could clash so evenly with him, his true power eroding.

“Endless Earth!”

As Lu Ye looked at the endless waves of soil surging in Chaos, overwhelming everything, he held his Stone Sword aloft.

“Eighth Part of the Universe!”

The Stone Sword split into eight, enveloping Lu Ye in a protective circle.

Exploding with full force.

Eight streams of sword energy shot out in all directions, colliding fiercely with the soil.

Infinite resistance sought to bury the sword light, but it was clear that the sword light was not so fragile, relentlessly cleaving through the earth.

“Eight Parts Converge!”

Lu Ye gripped the Stone Sword, following one stream of sword light as the eight converged into one!

Lu Ye surged through an infinite expanse of soil.

After this sparring session, Lu Ye understood that he had essentially closed the gap between himself and the Celestial Lords because the disparity between an Emperor and a Celestial Lord was not particularly vast.

Every moment, the Primordial Force within Lu Ye was continuously enhancing and transforming; in terms of quality, it equated to a Celestial Lord, just lacking the overall energy reserves.

But how could Lu Ye compete with the Great Emperor of Covering Heaven?

That was impossible. Even using the Celestial Lord Fist, there was little hope—after all, the Earth Celestial Lord excelled in defense.

The two ended up evenly matched by the conclusion.

Lu Ye chose to halt.

Now the Earth Celestial Lord understood he could not defeat Lu Ye. Although he still had hidden trump cards, it was evident that Lu Ye also had his.

His Celestial Lord Techniques had been deployed against Lu Ye, which could impose pressure but overwhelming victory was another story entirely.

“Thank you for your guidance, Celestial Lord!” Lu Ye said with a smile and cupped his hands.

The Earth Celestial Lord looked at Lu Ye’s respectful attitude and smiled back.

“Very strong! It’s rare throughout history for a Great Emperor to contest with a Celestial Lord. If you become a Celestial Lord, you’ll become a rival to the Invincible Sword Lord!”

This was already a very high compliment from the Earth Celestial Lord.

After all, beings like the Invincible Sword Lord hadn’t existed since the dawn of the universe.

Just reaching the Celestial Lord Realm, was he already invincible among Celestial Lords?

This is the Celestial Lord Realm, not some basic commodity.

“I’m still far from the Invincible Sword Lord. Celestial Lord, your praise is an exaggeration. I still need to consult other Celestial Lords. Farewell!”

The Earth Celestial Lord nodded.

Lu Ye set off on his journey of conquest.

However, now Lu Ye had no significant enemies. The only one worth mentioning was the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

But the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, due to his characteristics, especially at this chaotic time—it’s worth noting that the Six Paths of Reincarnation was something many Celestial Lords coveted.

If he could replace the Reincarnation Celestial Lord and become the Master of Reincarnation, it would be a form of immortality.

Under such circumstances, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord naturally wouldn’t dare to show himself.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord existed in two states due to the backing of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was just a powerful Celestial Lord, strong, but not on the level of peak beings competing against Saints.

Inside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, however, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord was among the top Celestial Lords, even the Invincible Sword Lord had little recourse against him.

It’s been said before that the Reincarnation Celestial Lord might rank among the top three of all time within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Of course, there are also top Celestial Lords that Lu Ye has yet to encounter, so it’s hard to say definitively.

Outside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, it’s debatable if the Reincarnation Celestial Lord would even rank among the top twenty.

What a pity he couldn’t go around striking down formidable foes in the River of Time. Just thinking about it feels regretful.

Other enemies?

None left!

An Li didn’t even qualify to be Lu Ye’s enemy now.
