Chapter 123: Please, I Beg You (Third Update)

Lu Ye stared at the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, realizing he was indeed frantically parasitizing, and couldn't help but nod slightly.

Yes, just like that. So obedient.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor swiftly parasitized and absorbed essence-blood, his injuries healing, his strength recovering.

Finally, he returned to his peak state.

A portion of the cultivation generated by countless parasites would be secretly absorbed by him.

Though this portion was minuscule.

But rivers merge into seas, and grains of sand pile into towers. As long as he parasitized more and more,

he would become the fastest-cultivating demon in the Nine Heavens!

Lu Ye!

Lu Ye!!!

Just wait for your death, hahaha…

Lu Ye arrived.

When the shadow appeared above the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor’s head,

the ferocious grin on his face froze instantly.

No… you… didn’t you leave?

"Boom!"

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor’s body was sent flying, followed by a kick to his chest.

Boom!

An entire mountain peak was shattered by the impact.

Lu Ye’s figure pursued relentlessly, fists and kicks raining down one after another.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor should feel proud—he was truly the first being, demon or otherwise, to endure so many attacks from Lu Ye and still survive.

After brutally beating the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor once more, Lu Ye vanished again without a word.

The Vermilion Bird was utterly bewildered.

She truly couldn’t comprehend Lu Ye’s current state.

Given Lu Ye’s temperament, the fact that the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor could leave the Great Wilderness alive while Lu Ye was so much stronger was already an incredible anomaly.

Yet Lu Ye had crippled him twice with severe injuries but still hadn’t killed him?

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was furious beyond measure.

Fine, fine, still refusing to kill me!

The mark on his body had already been worn down to an extremely faint trace. Once it was completely erased, he would teach Lu Ye a lesson.

First, recover his strength!

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor roamed freely in the Demon Realm, where there were still scattered deities and great demons of the Tribulation Realm who had not entered the Great Wilderness. Yet, none dared to besiege Lu Ye.

Joking aside, seeing the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor beaten into such a pathetic state, would they go over just to get beaten up together?

Surprisingly, there was indeed one scattered deity who refused to believe in the odds. During the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor’s third beating, it charged at Lu Ye.

"How audacious! A mere human dares to act so recklessly among the Demon race? Die!"

A sky-shrouding demonic claw descended—

Only to be shattered into a bloody mist by a single Celestial Lord Fist from Lu Ye.

This sent the Demon race’s powerhouses trembling even more. The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was indeed formidable—scattered deities were instantly annihilated by this terrifying human with a single punch, yet he could endure so many strikes.

Leaving behind the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, battered and nearly reduced to pulp, Lu Ye vanished once more.

Just a little more!

The final stretch!

Enduring immense agony, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor didn’t even realize—what was this pain compared to what was coming?

Lu Ye hadn’t even unleashed the Primordial Morning Mist yet.

Finally, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor erased the last trace of the mark.

"Hahahaha! Lu Ye, Lu Ye! I’m free! Hahahaha…!"

Relocating to a new spot, certain Lu Ye could no longer find him, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor erupted into earth-shaking laughter.

"I’m ascending! I’m ascending! Lu Ye, I’ll see you in the Second Heaven—"

Lu Ye wiped away a tear and reappeared before him.

Staring silently.

Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor…

Laughing? Why stop? Not happy anymore?

"Why can you still find me?! I erased the mark!" The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was on the verge of collapse.

Lu Ye finally spoke.

"Your laughter was too loud. It irritated my eyes."

Before the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor could retort, Lu Ye took a step forward.

"Boom!"

Another merciless beating ensued. The gathered great demons watched from afar, trembling in terror, their scalps crawling.

This human was far too cruel.

After thrashing the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor once more, Lu Ye vanished with effortless grace.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor spat a mouthful of blood, his aura withered.

Beat me, beat me all you want. This is the last time.

Next time, he just wouldn't laugh so loudly.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was exhausted.

He lay on the ground, not immediately resorting to parasitism or collecting essence blood.

Lu Ye appeared again.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor???

A wisp of extremely faint white mist drifted toward the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor's body.

"Ahhhh..."

The next second, an utterly agonized scream erupted from the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor's mouth—a sound so chilling it made one's blood run cold. He even tore his own mouth open from the sheer force of his shrieking.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor writhed on the ground, the excruciating pain knocking him unconscious before jolting him awake again.

Pain!

Too much pain!

Lu Ye smirked, then remembered this thing had been inflicted on him by Yue Hongling.

His figure vanished.

After a full quarter-hour of screaming, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor finally struggled free from the torment.

He gasped like a fish on the verge of death, breathing heavily with overwhelming dread.

He would rather die than endure that kind of suffering again.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor began to recover. He needed to heal quickly, leave faster, and hide himself away.

By the time the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor had fully recovered—and was convinced he had hidden himself perfectly—Lu Ye's figure appeared right on schedule.

"What are you doing?!"

"Ow! What are you doing?!"

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor's mentality completely shattered. His eyes bloodshot, he screamed at Lu Ye in hysterics.

Lu Ye grinned.

He was confident the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor would figure it out on his own.

"Boom!"

Another beating ensued.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor trembled in fear. By now, he wasn't as afraid of the beatings—what truly terrified him was the possibility of Lu Ye unleashing that white mist on him again.

"What does he even want?"

The Vermilion Bird was extremely anxious. The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was frantically parasitizing the demons. If this continued, all the demons would be taken over by him.

Lu Ye wasn’t usually like this.

When he killed enemies, he simply killed them—he rarely tortured them, because he had always believed that everyone was merely a contender on the path of cultivation.

But now, this situation was strangely abnormal.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was filled with despair.

The mark had clearly been erased, so why could Lu Ye still find him?

Why did he keep beating him?

He had already decided—if Lu Ye hit him one more time, he would abandon this body.

Recover!

Keep recovering!

Once the recovery was complete, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor began to wait.

As Lu Ye’s figure appeared, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, hahahaha…"

Amid his mad laughter, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor suddenly self-destructed. He was done—he was exhausted.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and closed his eyes.

When the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor found a new demon body in the Tribulation Realm to reincarnate into, before he could even catch his breath—

Lu Ye appeared again.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor…

"What do you want? What do you actually want? Tell me! Say it! I’ll listen to you, I beg you, just stop hitting me!"

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor wept bitterly, kneeling before Lu Ye.

I beg you, stop hitting me…

I was really wrong…

What greeted him was still Lu Ye’s fist.
