Chapter 669: Derived World

So the last time they tried to drop a forbidden area, the Saints of the Primordial World promptly got cold feet.

But now?

How could this situation arise?

The Celestial Lord of the Primordial World is a Celestial Lord, while those from other realms are not considered one?

This won’t do, it can’t go on like this.

So they had to pause.

Little did they know, this time when they thought about dropping a forbidden area, they were up against… the strongest Emperor of all time!

Not even a Celestial Lord.

If Lu Ye got sufficiently riled up, he could instantaneously break through to the Celestial Lord Realm.

By then, it would really be a spectacle.

You never know, even Saints from beyond the heavens could come and be outright obliterated by Lu Ye.

Lu Ye took a deep breath as a massive influx of nascent power flowed from the world within him, replenishing his Primordial Force.

“System, how are you feeling?” Lu Ye asked.

“Ding! I feel unprecedentedly good! The Little Heavenly Dao is bursting with energy and is ready to dance,” the system replied, brimming with joy.

“Ding! Big Sis, teach me to dance! I want to perform for the host.”

Hearing this, Lu Ye couldn’t help but smile.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and the Invincible Sword Saint were indeed impressive.

He appeared before Chu Shenli, withdrawing the Primordial Morning Mist from his body.

At that moment, it was as if Chu Shenli, who was on the brink of suffocation, was finally released and took a long, desperate breath.

Pain!

It hurt so much!

Why does such suffering exist in this world?

Even as a Celestial Lord, he couldn’t bear this kind of pain. Remember, the Dark Origin God once shrank into a black egg and howled, all because of the Primordial Morning Mist.

Sure, Yin Qingcheng once stayed in the Primordial Morning Mist, but look how she managed to avoid any injury!

She merely lingered inside, only receiving tiny wisps of the Primordial Morning Mist.

Lu Ye’s sealing technique wasn’t just a simple seal; it came with excruciating pain.

“Now, tell me, what is happening beyond the cosmos?”

Countless wisps of Primordial Morning Mist swirled around Lu Ye, looking terrifying.

The Primordial Dao Lord subtly distanced himself a bit.

No one wanted to go near this; it was unfathomable just how determined Lu Ye was… Wait, this wasn’t something you could simply commit to refining.

Only those who have endured extreme pain could hope to maintain their sanity when facing the Primordial Morning Mist.

Chu Shenli felt like he was about to grind his teeth to dust.

“Do as you will; you can kill or maim me as you please!”

Lu Ye nodded, and a torrent of white mist rushed forth instantly.

Chu Shenli roared, attempting self-detonation, but all the runes were ineffective; unable to self-destruct, he was sealed once more.

“Ahhh!”

Chu Shenli let out a horrifying scream.

His entire body tensed, muscles so tight they felt on the verge of exploding.

“Are you going to talk?”

Chu Shenli kept screaming.

“I respect you as a tough guy!” Lu Ye exclaimed without restraint.

“Ahhh!”

“Still not talking?”

Lu Ye activated his techniques, beginning to torment Chu Shenli further.

“Ahhh…”

Chu Shenli was beginning to regret it; he wanted to speak, he really did.

But the intense pain left him unable to voice anything, even his thoughts were dissipating in agony.

He couldn’t utter a word, truly couldn’t.

“What I admire most are tough guys. To show my respect, I’m willing to unleash ten kinds of torture on you, each one more painful than the last. If you can last until the end without talking, I will send you off painlessly.”

“First torture—Ten Thousand Insects Burrowing Through Your Flesh!”

Ahhh…

“Tough!”

“Second torture—Shattering the Soul!”

Ahhh…

“Alright, alright! Third torture…”

The Primordial Dao Lord received a transmission from Lu Ye and cautiously spoke up.

“Lu Ye, isn’t it possible he really can’t speak right now? Maybe you should ease up a bit?” the Primordial Dao Lord suggested.

“Huh? No way! He’s a Celestial Lord and can’t even handle a little pain? I believe he’s a tough guy. Just thinking about these ten tortures makes me excited; not a single person has endured them over the years. It seems he’s about to break that streak!”

“If he makes it through, I’ll give him a proper send-off!”

If Chu Shenli had the faintest hint of consciousness left, he would be cursing at Lu Ye for that remark—what does it even mean to endure or die, huh?

“Fourth…”

“Lu Ye, do you think it might be true that he can’t even speak?” the Primordial Heavenly Lord interjected again.

“Is that so?”

Lu Ye withdrew the Primordial Morning Mist.

“Tough guy, still unwilling to speak? If you refuse to talk, I might just continue!” Lu Ye said, itching to continue.

“I’ll speak…”

“Good, now tell me, what’s the situation out there? Why are the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and the Invincible Sword Saint still hanging around the world without leaving?” Lu Ye asked.

All the Celestial Lords perked up, genuinely curious as well.

“Out there, it’s the three thousand derived worlds, accompanying the Primordial World and supplying energy. All these worlds want to replace the Primordial World, so the derived worlds seek to destroy or take its place,” Chu Shenli gasped.

“Where do the derived worlds come from?”

“It’s said… it was created by a great transcendent, but the true origin is unknown.”

“So, out there, the Saints of the derived worlds are continuously attacking the Saints of the Primordial World?” Lu Ye probed.

“Yes…”

“How many Saints are there from your derived worlds?” Lu Ye inquired.

“Thirty… originally there were thirty-three, but now only twenty-seven remain.”

This number instantly made all the Celestial Lords widen their eyes in shock.

Seriously, why is that?

Why does your weak derived world have so many Saints to begin with?

“Our Saints aren’t as powerful as yours; ours need to merge with the world’s origins to become Saints. If any derived world’s origin is absorbed by a Saint, then the strongest being in that world is only a Celestial Lord, basically what the Saint’s faction nurtures.”
