Chapter 672: Darkness Celestial Lord Takes Action

Two special Celestial Lords have yet to self-detonate.

Such Celestial Lords are, of course, extremely valuable.

There’s no way they’d waste it on Primordial Dao Lord. It’s painful to say, but Primordial Dao Lord would probably accept that.

After all, he wouldn’t want to be bombarded by such terrifying beings.

Lu Ye’s flesh was rapidly recovering.

In fact, his Dao Fruit had also suffered damage; the first Saint’s attack landed directly on Lu Ye’s Dao Fruit, causing huge cracks to appear in the world.

Fortunately, the world was in a newborn stage, brimming with abundant new energies, allowing for quick repair.

Lu Ye’s Dao Fruit was truly powerful; even if his physical body collapsed, he could recover swiftly. The only downside was that since his body was so strong, it consumed a massive amount of the world’s primal energy for that recovery.

Special circumstances called for special treatment.

It was extremely difficult for the five Celestial Lords of Primordial Dao Lord to resist.

Honestly, Demon Ancestor really picked the wrong path.

If Demon Ancestor had taken the opportunity to help Lu Ye and intercepted the pursuing Celestial Lords, once this matter settled down, Lu Ye would really have been able to laugh off their grudges.

Unfortunately, Demon Ancestor ran away.

Darkness Origin saw this scene, especially since Nine Lives suffered such serious injuries, and it was heart-wrenching.

What can I do?

How can I help Nine Lives?

Darkness Origin couldn’t help but ponder.

She had no combat power! At this moment, Darkness Origin even hated herself for lacking fighting abilities.

Wait!

Darkness Origin suddenly thought of Darkness Celestial Lord.

Although she had no combat power, Darkness Celestial Lord did. As one of the top Celestial Lords, Darkness Celestial Lord could even compete with the Saint of Eternal Life back in the day.

If he joined the battle, wouldn’t Nine Lives have an easier time?

But would Darkness Celestial Lord join forces with the Celestial Lords of the Derived World to attack Nine Lives?

Seeing the Self-Detonation Celestial Lord charge toward Lu Ye again made her anxious.

Nine Lives hadn’t recovered yet!

Darkness Origin couldn’t help but stomp her foot.

No matter what, I must save Nine Lives!

Thus, she deliberately concealed the aura of battle and channeled it into Darkness Origin.

Darkness Celestial Lord suddenly opened his eyes.

“What’s going on?” Darkness Celestial Lord asked.

Having made up her mind, Darkness Origin began to speak.

“The Celestial Lords of the Derived World want to destroy our world, and our world’s Celestial Lords can’t hold on much longer. Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and Invincible Sword Saint are battling the Saints of the Derived World outside the heavens. Should we lend a hand?” Darkness Origin said.

Darkness Celestial Lord???

He didn’t respond immediately but took a moment to digest this.

“So, what does that have to do with us?” Darkness Celestial Lord asked, confused.

“I have a life-and-death grudge with Lu Ye, but looking at the current battle situation, I think it’s time for us to give in. Otherwise, once Lu Ye becomes a Saint, we’ll all be doomed.”

“If we help Lu Ye now, that would be like adding fuel to a fire. You have no grudge against him; only I do.”

“If you lend a hand, Lu Ye will likely not completely obliterate me, and then I can continue to protect you. But if you don’t act now, and Lu Ye dies, that’s fine, but if he survives, I’m definitely done for. Without my protection, your time is almost up too.”

“I don’t want you to die.”

Darkness Celestial Lord couldn’t help but ponder.

“Then can’t I just go ahead and kill Lu Ye?”

“Lu Ye has killed no less than twenty powerful Celestial Lords. He’s still at the Emperor Realm, hasn’t broken through to the Celestial Lord Realm yet. I believe he could break through to the Celestial Lord Realm at any moment,” Darkness Origin said calmly.

Darkness Celestial Lord finally understood what Darkness Origin meant.

Adding fuel to a fire.

Darkness Origin really wanted him to help Lu Ye, hoping it would lead to her escape from calamity.

Hmm…

Can’t say it’s an unfeasible opportunity.

Darkness Celestial Lord contemplated seriously.

Though the whole situation escalated suddenly, Darkness Celestial Lord was definitely an experienced soul.

“What about that little Demon Ancestor?” Darkness Celestial Lord asked.

“He fled. When he awoke, Lu Ye was rampaging against the Celestial Lords, scaring him silly, and he just ran away without thinking. I knew you couldn’t escape; seeing this chance for survival, I rushed to find you first,” Darkness Origin said sincerely.

Darkness Celestial Lord nodded.

She was right.

He genuinely couldn’t leave Darkness Origin because time was running out for him.

Leaving Darkness Origin meant certain death unless he immediately crossed his tribulation and became a Saint, as his source was decaying every moment.

“Hope this kid is one to remember his benefactors!”

Darkness Celestial Lord saw straight through it.

Whether the heavens were destroyed or not, it seemed like both he and Darkness Origin were facing obliteration.

And now was his only chance to grasp at life.

Darkness Celestial Lord no longer hesitated, and his figure vanished in an instant.

At that moment, darkness fell.

“Nine Lives, Nine Lives, I’ve managed to get Darkness Celestial Lord to join the battle! Don’t worry, take your time recovering,” Dark Yaner’s voice sounded.

Lu Ye gazed at the boundless darkness.

He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Darkness Celestial Lord joining the fray was a good thing.

In the previous life, although Darkness Celestial Lord caused a lot of slaughter, it wasn’t particularly related to Lu Ye.

This time around, he and Darkness Celestial Lord hadn’t even had a chance to form a grudge.

Now, Darkness Celestial Lord’s actions could truly be called adding fuel to the fire.

Lu Ye could recover as much as possible before breaking through, ensuring this time there would be no flaws in his ascension.

When he finally became a Saint, he would be the most powerful Saint in history.

Darkness Celestial Lord’s intervention immediately blocked three top-tier Celestial Lords.

The two Self-Detonation Celestial Lords hesitated.

They wondered if they should blow themselves up to finish off this new Celestial Lord.

This Celestial Lord was intimidating, but he radiated an aura of decay, as if already aging.

Self-Detonation Celestial Lords were remarkably precious.

Each one cost immense effort to cultivate.

They were far rarer than Saints.

At that moment, the fake-and-real eye opened and closed again.

Another Celestial Lord emerged.

“Saint’s order, blow him to bits!”

One Celestial Lord brought out the Saint’s token.

The two Self-Detonation Celestial Lords immediately stopped hesitating. They braced themselves against Darkness Celestial Lord’s attack and vanished.

A massive sense of crisis flooded Darkness Celestial Lord’s entire being.

The expression of Darkness Celestial Lord changed dramatically.

“Boom!”

With a single strike.

Darkness Celestial Lord was turned to ash.

But he didn’t fall; Darkness Origin managed to save his nearly shattered Dao Fruit. Still, after this, Darkness Celestial Lord was likely not going to survive.
