Chapter 24: Breaking the Pill and Becoming an Infant

Breaking the Core to Form the Infant!

Lu Ye sat beside the corpse of the Ancient God, his face serene, in the process of breaking his Core to form his Infant.

The three treasures had already been gathered, and Lu Ye intended to form his second life at the moment of Infant formation.

Infants also have quality distinctions.

The weakest is the Human Infant, followed by the Earth Infant, Heavenly Infant, and Sacred Infant.

In his previous life, due to the "Nine Lives Immortal Heavenly Scripture," Lu Ye had managed to elevate from a Heavenly Pill to a Sacred Infant.

This time, forming an Infant with a Sacred Pill naturally allowed him to condense a Sacred Infant.

Cracks began to appear on the radiant Core.

Lu Ye sensed the arrival of several people but showed no reaction.

He knew they would not attack him. Although they had grievances in the past, those had been vented in his previous life. Would they attack him now?

That would truly be a fight to the death.

Of course, for a brief moment, Lu Ye secretly hoped they would attack...

Yue Hongling couldn't help but sigh in relief. Thankfully, the Primordial Morning Mist had not erupted.

Suddenly, Lu Ye's entire body trembled.

The shattered Core unleashed unimaginable pain. His body, his soul, everything seemed to split apart at that moment.

A white mist, wispy and thin, began to appear around Lu Ye, and his fists clenched tightly.

Pain!

Unbearable, terrifying pain!

Lu Ye's thoughts became chaotic, and all his senses amplified rapidly.

Even a single breath felt like molten lava flowing through his trachea.

"Ah!"

Yue Hongling screamed.

"Primordial Morning Mist, Primordial Morning Mist, Master, the Primordial Morning Mist has truly followed him. What do we do? What do we do?"

Yue Hongling's eyes were filled with panic and anxiety. No one understood the effects of the Primordial Morning Mist better than her—it could bring unimaginable, excruciating pain.

Lu Ye couldn't withstand it.

No one could endure such pain; it would kill a person from sheer agony.

"Master, what do we do? Save him, please save senior brother!"

"Young Master!"

Chu Ling's eyes were filled with heartache. She saw the veins on Lu Ye's body bulging, his body trembling every second.

She knew Lu Ye's tolerance for pain.

What kind of pain could reduce Lu Ye to such a state?

Bai Qiulan also felt deeply distressed.

She was about to step forward when Lu Ye opened his blood-red eyes.

"Get out!"

He roared in anger.

"Senior brother, this is the Primordial Morning Mist. You can't withstand it. Let the master help you, let her use the power of the moon to temporarily freeze you."

"Get out!"

The intense pain twisted Lu Ye's face into a grotesque mask, making him look like a demon as he roared at the women.

Yue Hongling was about to speak again.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed.

Chu Ling's eyes were filled with tears, but her beautiful face was icy cold.

"The young master told us to leave, so let's go!"

The Demon Sword pointed at the three, and Chu Ling strictly followed Lu Ye's command.

"Get out!"

Lu Ye roared once more.

"Let's retreat first..." Sun Ruowei began to persuade.

She didn't even know what the Primordial Morning Mist was, but Lu Ye's current state resembled a beast driven to the brink.

A sword light suddenly flashed as Chu Ling decisively struck.

Sun Ruowei was startled and quickly shattered the sword light.

"Go, retreat!"

She forcibly pulled Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan back, with Chu Ling following behind with her sword.

The group left the deepest part of the tomb.

Soon, a loud rumble echoed, as if fists were pounding the earth with great force.

Although there were no cries of pain or screams.

The heavy thuds made it clear what kind of agony Lu Ye was enduring inside.

"He won't make it, master, save him, he won't make it."

Yue Hongling's eyes were streaming with tears.

Normally, when someone is invaded by the Primordial Morning Mist, they can't withstand the pain without doing anything, let alone Lu Ye in his current state.

Do you know what Lu Ye is doing now?

He's breaking his core to form a saint infant!

Originally, breaking the core to form an infant was a perilous endeavor, and Yue Hongling couldn't even imagine the extent of the pain Lu Ye was enduring.

"Master, I killed Lu Ye, I killed him again."

"It shouldn't be like this, I didn't want to kill him, I no longer hate him, he clearly had nine lives, why..."

Yue Hongling's emotions crumbled.

She truly couldn't fathom that, after all the twists and turns, Lu Ye had died by her hand alone.

She didn't want Lu Ye to die, she couldn't be without him...

Bai Qiulan gently waved her hand, and Yue Hongling immediately fell unconscious, cradled in Bai Qiulan's arms.

Listening to the continuous roars from within, her expression was also quite pained.

It was unimaginable what kind of pain could drive Lu Ye to such a state.

She knew the severity of pain all too well; when the Chaos Venom had once flared up, she had wanted to self-destruct countless times to end it all.

That kind of pain was truly unbearable for any human.

Until later, when Lu Ye helped her.

Lu Ye grew stronger, helping her more and more, and as her own strength increased,

the Chaos Venom became even more terrifying, until she began cultivating the "Taiyin Transformation Scripture," which finally managed to curb the pain.

I hope he's okay, I hope he's okay.

Time passed minute by minute.

The roars from within finally ceased, and Bai Qiulan's figure instantly entered.

Deep within the tomb, everything was utterly destroyed.

The corpse of the Ancient God had been shattered into pieces.

Lu Ye regained his calm, his breath as powerful as a dragon's.

"Lu Ye, how are you?" Bai Qiulan urgently asked.

Lu Ye opened his eyes, and the aura of the InfantBreaking Realm emanated from him, far more profound than that of an ordinary InfantBreaking Realm practitioner, by at least five to ten times.

"I'm fine, Master. Can I ask what poison you gave me?"

A faint smile appeared on Lu Ye's face as he asked sincerely.

Hmm, I beg of you.

Tell me!

I was reborn to reach greater heights, not to suffer disasters.

Every time I break through, a terrifying toxin emerges. When I was a Celestial Lord, I had never heard of so many toxins that could affect a Celestial Lord.

Where on earth did you all find these?

I can't afford to provoke you, but I can avoid you, right!

Bai Qiulan's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"The poison I gave you is called Taiyin Marrow Worm, it can..."

Lu Ye raised his hand.

"Which one were you to administer it?"

"I... I'm not entirely sure..."

Lu Ye!

Fine, fine, you're noble, you're great!

You don't even know which one you were to administer the poison!

He had heard of the Taiyin Marrow Worm, even seen it, but never expected it to end up in his body.

Thinking about why he had seen the Taiyin Marrow Worm, Lu Ye almost wanted to laugh.

Back when he ventured to the deepest part of the Taiyin Origin to comprehend the "Taiyin Transformation Scripture," that's where he had seen the Taiyin Marrow Worm.

I'm really such a fool!

Fine, fine, everyone is being harsher on me than the last.

Seeing that Bai Qiulan had already broken through to the Unity Dao Realm, the Chaos Venom was about to start condensing.

He would take a good look at what kind of suffering Bai Qiulan would endure.

Damn it!
