Chapter 082: Transcending Tribulation Siege (First Release)

I still couldn’t hold it together.

Refining Void Ninth Layer, huh?

I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but the Eternal Genius Ranking was just too generous, really too generous.

Refining Void Ninth Layer? Not bad!

Glancing at the top of the Eternal Genius Ranking, my name kept flashing, and Lu Ye couldn’t help but smile.

Time to go out!

I wonder if there’s going to be a fierce battle outside.

Lu Ye was indifferent; fight if they had to, kill if it was necessary. Right or wrong didn’t matter; even if he was in the wrong, it didn’t faze him.

His figure vanished.

…

“No way! Our Central State Dynasty can’t gamble with your Grand Dao Sect!”

The Central State Dynasty was startled by the news of the Grand Dao Sect launching a full-scale attack.

“You all must be crazy! This is just an inexperienced Tianjiao, and you’re causing such a massive catastrophe. Who doesn’t know the path to the Dao is littered with bones? You’re just…”

“We in the Central State Dynasty are definitely not going to join your Grand Dao Sect’s madness!”

To this, the Grand Dao Sect naturally wouldn’t push the matter.

Over at the Supreme Sword Sect, many were frowning.

It was indeed a bit insane.

But man, it was thrilling!

Lu Ye wasn’t a disciple of the Supreme Sword Sect; they were just allied with the Grand Dao Sect, somewhat close.

So even if the Supreme Sword Sect poured their efforts in, they wouldn’t gain as much from it as the Grand Dao Sect.

However, not participating in the encirclement and slaughter?

Now that they were being encircled, was the Supreme Sword Sect really going to sit back?

Their swords would rust otherwise, right?

No way, they had to get involved in something!

So after some thought, the Supreme Sword Sect made a decision.

Anyone who wanted to help the Grand Dao Sect could go ahead and act at will.

As soon as this was said, the sword cultivators of the Supreme Sword Sect erupted in excitement.

Although not everyone was deployed, a considerable number of sword cultivators rushed out.

Mainly because they loved a good ruckus; those from the Eternal Order Sect and the Heavenly Pavilion also showed up. How could the Supreme Sword Sect just stand idly by?

Standing still, for a warlike sect like the Supreme Sword Sect, was more painful than being killed!

Don’t look at Lu Ye for having taken down two disciples of the Supreme Sword Sect; they died in pursuit of the Dao, so they couldn’t blame anyone else.

The sect had already ordered a retreat; they had chosen to stay behind wholeheartedly, even if it meant death, there was nothing to regret.

Such is the way of cultivators.

Lu Ye descended from the ninth-layer battlefield.

After looting a wave of treasures, he finally reached the third-layer battlefield. Just as he arrived, it was a chaotic mess, and he didn’t really get a good chance to loot.

From the ninth layer to the first layer.

Lu Ye looked at the teleportation vortex.

Without hesitation, he stepped forward.

As light and shadows shifted, he found himself surrounded by a multitude of figures, like the celestial troops besieging Sun Wukong, completely sealing off his escape.

With the last creature having teleported away, Lu Ye’s presence vanished behind him.

The Genius Ancient Battlefield, which opened once every thousand years, was drawing to a close today.

Lu Ye looked at all directions.

Layer upon layer of grand formations surrounded him, with figures exuding powerful auras, all fully armed.

Wow, they really must think highly of themselves, bringing so many just for a Transcendence!

Should they just start fighting, or do the talking first?

“Lu Ye, ranked first on the Eternal Genius Ranking, too powerful, too astonishing. I’ve heard my junior brother say your formations are unmatched, so I’ve set up this 3,000 Misdirection Formation for you. If you break it, you can escape; if not, well, you might die here.” The current Grand Pavilion Master, Lu Xuntian, said with a grin.

“Lu Ye, daring to write your name on the Eternal Genius Ranking, I’m sure you anticipated today? You have no grievance with the Yin-Yang Sect. We are merely carrying out the orders of our superiors. My apologies!”

“Lu Ye, you’ve killed many disciples of our Yin-Yang Sect; you’re a real demon. We absolutely must kill you today!”

“Lu Ye, if you surrender, there may be a sliver of hope for you. If you’re stubborn and unyielding, my supreme nation will avenge our cultivators, our imperial prince!”

…

“Lu Ye, having killed my disciples of the Eternal Order Sect, did you think there would be no consequences? Blood for blood, do you have anything to say?”

Lu Ye didn’t respond to the shouting of others.

Because they were speaking quite plainly and made a lot of sense; he had indeed killed many innocents in his slaughter.

But what did the Eternal Order Sect have to bark about?

Lu Ye glanced at the speaker from the Eternal Order Sect, scoffing.

“Hypocritical!”

The Eternal Order Sect member was furious, thinking, “They all said you were at fault and you didn’t retort, but I say you’re hypocritical, and you turn on me? What gives?”

The Eternal Order Sect was the first to attack.

A tiny golden mountain swelled and suddenly slammed towards Lu Ye.

Almost simultaneously, all the powerful figures made their move.

These included dozens of powerful cultivators at the Transcending Tribulation stage, many of whom were quite formidable, indicating that they were dead serious about killing Lu Ye.

Lu Ye formed seals with both hands, comprehending all spells and the myriad of Dao.

Endless radiance surged towards him, and a gigantic blurry cauldron appeared above Lu Ye’s head.

The antique cauldron was tattered, showing the marks of time.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion erupted from the bronze cauldron.

Just with the first wave of attacks, Lu Ye was already coughing up blood.

The gap was a bit too wide!

He could deal with the Refining Void and the Unity of Dao, but dealing with the Refining Void and Transcending Tribulation was almost impossible.

Even if he broke through to the Unity of Dao realm right now, it would still be a struggle. He hadn’t built enough foundation, so the breakthrough would surely leave defects.

Yet Lu Ye remained unfazed, sealing his hands and sending various marks into the bronze cauldron, which seemed to connect with the distant void.

“Boom!”

The second attack arrived.

The bronze cauldron shook violently.

At this moment, Lu Ye was forming seals at an exaggerated speed.

Along with the terrifying energy fluctuations in the void, intricate patterns rapidly emerged.

“Great Ascension Annihilation!”

“Evergreen!”

“Yin-Yang Reversal!”

Various spells and divine abilities surged forth.

Lu Ye was continuously spitting blood, the bronze cauldron swayed precariously, and numerous cracks appeared above it.

“Hahaha, ranked first on the Eternal Genius Ranking? Not so impressive! See my Great Desolate Fist!”

“You’re too young. If I were you, even if I entered the Demon Realm, I wouldn’t go back to the Great Desolate after killing so many human clansmen. Do you really think you’re invincible?”

“Enough with the chatter! Let’s all out and kill him!”

Lu Ye kept a calm expression.

A gigantic phantom suddenly appeared behind him, a Buddha whose features were indistinct.

If the Buddha Sect saw this scene, their eyes would probably pop out. Wait, so you know Buddha’s techniques too?

The Buddha embraced Lu Ye.

To absorb all the attacks.

Lu Ye continued to form seals, and ripples in the void were multiplying more and more.

The Buddha shattered.

An ancient lotus flower bloomed, engulfing Lu Ye.

Defense!

Still a defensive spell.

At this moment, a loud crash erupted from the outside.

With a gentle chime from the Grand Dao Bell, the entire Nine Dragon Valley instantly turned to ruins.

Endless patterns appeared, and the various great formations revealed their power.

“Lu Ye, hang on! We’re coming to save you!”

Lu Ye heard Liu Changfeng’s voice, and a serious expression turned into a momentary smile.

Who would’ve guessed that the Grand Dao Sect would act for such a bloody-handed person like him at this moment?

But really, he didn’t need it!
