Chapter 662: Nine Lives Unified

This fight came too fast and too rushed.

There’s really no helping it.

At this point, Lu Ye’s advantage from his reincarnation had pretty much vanished.

The battle in the River of Time was something he had experienced, and after it ended, Lu Ye spent his time annihilating places like the Forbidden Land.

Killing the Dark Origin God was something that hadn’t even come up in his last life.

Naturally, back then, Lu Ye didn’t have the status of a Saint.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord wouldn’t come looking for him.

However, in this life, the allure of that Saint status was just too great, directly leading the Reincarnation Celestial Lord to step out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to find Lu Ye, hoping to exchange for a shard of Saint status.

Lu Ye certainly wasn’t going to give it to the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, because the Celestial Lord didn’t lift a finger during the hunt for the Dark Origin God.

If the Celestial Lord had contributed, would Lu Ye refuse him?

Even if he knew the Reincarnation Celestial Lord would have a higher chance of becoming a Saint after obtaining it, Lu Ye would still give it to him.

But if you didn’t help and still wanted it, wanting to become a Saint in front of me, where do you think this opportunity comes from?

It was already beyond ridiculous, and Lu Ye had even held back, saying he bore no grudge against the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, but the Celestial Lord still wouldn’t back down, insisting that his becoming a Saint wouldn’t affect Lu Ye.

This was undoubtedly rubbing salt in the wound.

At that moment, Lu Ye thought, since he wasn’t afraid of the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, he’d choose to confront him head-on.

He’d start by throwing the Reincarnation Obsession back at the Celestial Lord.

Truthfully, there wasn’t much evidence for it, but since they’d reached that point, it was clear they were almost at each other’s throats.

Lu Ye quickly took charge of the Netherworld.

They ended up fighting again.

Lu Ye hadn’t expected that just like that, with one round, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord would be ready to bail.

Lu Ye couldn’t fathom how someone could have such skittish and bold personalities all at once.

You say he’s cowardly, yet he had the guts to come knock on Lu Ye’s door asking for the Saint status and, after failing, immediately wanted to annihilate the Netherworld.

You say he’s bold; he lost one fight and was about to throw away countless years tied to the heavens just to take the Six Paths of Reincarnation away.

You call him cowardly; he blatantly drags out time, messing with Lu Ye like he’s a monkey.

You say he’s bold; Lu Ye had already backed down to this point, swearing with his Dao Heart and Dao Fruit he still didn’t believe it.

It could only come down to one fight.

Just one fight.

In his past life, Lu Ye hadn’t had much contact with the Reincarnation Celestial Lord and didn’t really gauge his personality.

Otherwise, he could’ve found a way to rein in the Celestial Lord.

Actually, with the loss of that reincarnation advantage, the occurrence of uncontrollable events was the norm; life is just 80% dissatisfaction.

But thankfully, Lu Ye still had a way to make up for it.

It would just come at a cost.

Nine Lives Unified—this was Lu Ye’s preparation for becoming a Saint in the future.

To be honest, even if he genuinely handed this life’s chance at becoming a Saint over to the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, Lu Ye wouldn’t worry about being held accountable.

Because this era wasn’t one of great prosperity, and with the Celestial Lord’s habits, he definitely wouldn’t become a Saint during this time.

By the time the Celestial Lord found a chance, Lu Ye figured he’d already be outside of the heavens battling the Saint Kukku.

On the third day!

Nine Lives fully unified as one.

This was Lu Ye’s most powerful moment; the Dao Fruit within him was large and full, exuding a terrifying aura.

Chains of Dao twisted like dragons and pythons.

The Primordial Force had not only undergone a qualitative transformation but was also wildly increasing in quantity.

At this moment, the total amount of Primordial Force was nearly at the peak state Lu Ye had achieved in his last life—when he cross tribulated to become a Saint.

Even so, Lu Ye’s realm had only reached Great Emperor Full Circle, not even touching the Celestial Lord Realm.

But he felt it was enough!

“Reincarnation Celestial Lord, even if you stop now, our grudges are still cleared, and you still have one last chance,” Lu Ye was trying to smooth things over with the Reincarnation Celestial Lord.

Lu Ye’s aura was carelessly released.

The entire boundless world was engulfed in Lu Ye’s exaggerated aura.

All living beings felt their breath become labored; their hearts were still beating normally, yet it felt like a big hand was squeezing them.

Lu Ye continued to inform the Reincarnation Celestial Lord, telling him this road wouldn’t work.

For the System, for this world, up to now, Lu Ye was still willing to step back.

Sometimes Lu Ye would also feel a little nervous, thinking, “Is that Great Dao Guardian coming back?”

But upon careful thought, it didn’t seem to be a problem.

The heavens didn’t have consciousness; could they betray him? If they really did betray him, he could always sink the heavens.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord felt the terrifying aura emanating from Lu Ye, somewhat in disbelief.

This guy…

How did he become this strong?

If he entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation now, could he still be a match for him?

Maybe he should just give up resisting?

Reconcile with Lu Ye.

But now Lu Ye’s conditions had become less favorable; before he was willing to let him become a Saint, now he was merely willing to bury the hatchet.

“Fellow Daoist, you said within three days, I would give up on leaving. Can you still let me become a Saint first?” the Reincarnation Celestial Lord asked.

As soon as Lu Ye heard this line from the Celestial Lord, it was as if he was influenced once more by the Massacre Lotus Heart, filled with an uncontrollable killing intent.

Reincarnation Celestial Lord!

You really deserve to die!

But Lu Ye took a deep breath, calming himself down.

He still had a way out!

“Deal!”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord sighed.

At that moment, to be honest, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord even felt a bit of respect for Lu Ye.

Because as such a top-notch powerhouse, being able to make concessions again and again was all for the sake of protecting this world from collapsing.

But this world was clearly at its limit.

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord could feel that with his retreat from the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the world was undergoing violent changes.

The already decaying world, combined with his exit, was like a severely ill patient being taken off life support.

Could the world come back from this?

How could it be revived?

It’s just about when it collapses!

This world is doomed; it’s only a matter of sooner or later.

Thus, the Reincarnation Celestial Lord suddenly exerted force.

“Boom!”

The Six Paths of Reincarnation rapidly retracted.

In that instant, countless spatial fissures suddenly appeared between the heavens and earth.

The massive Six Paths of Reincarnation was completely withdrawn, forming a gigantic circular vortex.

“I’m not as great as you; I just want to take my own things. Lu Ye, instead of trying to stop me, you might as well focus on stabilizing the world for now.”

The Reincarnation Celestial Lord said, as the enormous Six Paths of Reincarnation sank into the void, into chaos, attempting to leave this world.
