Chapter 689: Terrifying Self-Detonation

“Hahaha,裂开给我吧!”

Lu Ye couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter.

The Stone Sword had left deep gashes on Tian Xi Shen’s body, and it was evident that the blood inside was congealing.

It really couldn’t hold on any longer.

So tired.

Lu Ye’s fist smashed down onto Tian Xi Shen’s head.

Can’t break it?

Then just keep hitting!

One punch, two punches, three punches.

Continuously, one punch after another.

Tian Xi Shen’s head became a bloody mess, chunks of flesh flying everywhere.

“Die for me!”

Lu Ye howled.

New power surged within him as he landed another heavy blow on Tian Xi Shen’s head.

In that instant, Tian Xi Shen finally couldn’t withstand it and his head exploded.

His body was also cleaved by the Stone Sword, pieces of flesh turning dull and lifeless.

The Dao Fruit shot out but was already extremely withered, and the small world within the Dao Fruit transformed into barren yellow sand, devoid of any energy.

Tian Xi Shen was truly drained.

Completely drained.

Lu Ye turned and fixed a fierce, murderous gaze on Shen You Shen.

At that moment, Shen You Shen was torn between fleeing and fighting with all his might.

But he felt utterly powerless; whether to escape or fight, he had lost the will to do either.

Surrender?

That thought never crossed Shen You Shen’s mind.

No matter what, he was still a deity, a formidable being with power rivaling that of a saint.

Surrendering was not in his nature.

Fine!

No one gets to live easy.

At that moment, Shen You Shen resolutely chose to self-detonate.

Come on, let’s die together!

Lu Ye didn’t have time to stop him; how could he? There was no chance to prevent it.

But Lu Ye wasn’t afraid; in that moment, he lunged towards the self-detonating Shen You Shen with his own body.

Dark Yaner screamed.

“Nine Lives!”

She burned herself without hesitation, and Lu Ye’s small world began to contract violently, the barriers thickening, thickening, and thickening.

All the waves of destruction gathered towards the center.

Dark Yaner used her last strength to form a thick shield around Lu Ye, a supreme protection from the Heavenly Dao.

“Boom!”

A blinding light illuminated the entire small world.

In the void of the Primordial World, the brightest star was formed, an enormous star radiating dazzling light.

It was so immense that the entire Primordial World emitted a blinding glow.

Beyond the heavens.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, the Invincible Sword Saint, and the Crimson Dust Saint were completely losing their minds.

They had been informed that three deities rushed into the Primordial World, and even though the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens had faith in Lu Ye, despair settled in his heart.

Was the Primordial World really on the brink of collapse?

The Invincible Sword Saint was utterly frantic.

“Nine Heavens, we have to kill five this time!”

The Invincible Sword Saint was filled with immense fury—if the Primordial World was destroyed, what would that mean for him?

It would mean he was worse off than the old immortal, who managed to protect the Primordial World; he had let it crumble himself, making all the boasting he did before the old immortal’s death meaningless.

What was being beaten by countless bugs here all this time worth?

“Kill!”

The Invincible Sword Saint’s eyes turned bloodshot.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens also showed a trace of sorrow.

Before Lu Ye came along, he had managed to stop the True and False Beasts, whether they were Celestial Lords or deities, from entering the Primordial World.

With Lu Ye’s help stabilizing the Primordial World, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens thought the horn of counterattack was finally sounded.

But unexpectedly, after just one counterattack, they faced an even fiercer retaliation from the Derived World.

He should have endured a little longer, just a little while more.

Sigh…

Neither the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens nor the Invincible Sword Saint thought Lu Ye was strong enough to slay three deities.

They had fought these deities many times.

They knew very well just how powerful these deities were; they truly rivaled saints.

Lu Ye being able to contend with one was already the strongest Celestial Lord in history, and taking on three…

Hope was too slim.

Then let’s kill!

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ eyes erupted with a terrifying killing intent.

If the Ancestral Land was destroyed, he would eliminate every god and every living being in this Derived World; he wanted everyone here to accompany the Ancestral Land to its grave!

Lu Ye had been fighting for seven days inside.

They had also been fighting outside for seven days, and this time, the three saints had exerted all their strength; four deities had already died.

The Crimson Dust Saint’s original source was nearly depleted.

This battle was just as bloody.

It was at this moment that the Primordial World erupted with an incredibly bright light.

Despite the blinding brilliance, the Primordial World showed no significant tremors.

Everyone instinctively glanced at the Primordial World, causing the fighting to halt momentarily.

That light was so brilliant.

Just a glance was enough to tell someone self-detonated.

Was it Lu Ye?

If he was able to hold on until now before self-detonating, it seemed the situation wasn’t as bad as imagined.

Had Lu Ye really managed to withstand three deities for this long all by himself?

He had just recently advanced to Celestial Lord!

The Invincible Sword Saint’s eyes turned scarlet, and the anger in his chest surged.

Rage howled within him.

Once the Primordial World began to shatter, the Invincible Sword Saint would definitely make these people pay a more brutal price—even if it meant they all perished together!

Whether it was the deities, the Primordial Saint, or the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, all three understood that this flash of light was the last brilliance; no matter which side triumphed, the battle had come to an end.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens was also gathering fury.

Who won and who lost?

Would the Primordial World be destroyed?

The Primordial Saint’s face paled; he had suffered terrible injuries. The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens was simply not human.

Facing the onslaught of seven deities was nearly going to be the death of him.

No one could stop him; if it weren’t for the help from the Primordial Saint, the opponent would have been willing to suffer grievous harm just to take him down.

The Primordial Saint’s expression was also grim; they had just woken up to undergo such a catastrophic battle.

The prior Ni Luan Great Sage had already been quite powerful, yet now two individuals appeared who were entirely on par with the Ni Luan Great Sage.

If these two decided to burn their lives and fight just like Ni Luan Great Sage, the best outcome he and the Primordial Saint could hope for was one of them dying here.

The close result would mean both perishing.

The battle temporarily subsided.

The blinding light gradually dimmed.

Everyone awaited what would happen in the Primordial World next.

If the Primordial World started attacking from within, everything would stabilize.

If there was no attack…

No!

Impossible!

Three deities had entered the Primordial World, a realm without even a saint—how could it fail?

But time ticked by.

The Primordial World remained eerily quiet.

Not a single ripple was generated.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and the others gradually felt their eyes brightening.

This…
