Chapter 245: The Eighth Person

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a single person.

To traverse the TriLife Tribulation and reach such an exalted level, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Celestial Lord.

At this level, all karmic ties, past lives, and the present become reality.

It’s meaningless.

No more crossing.

The next moment, the TriLife Tribulation shattered.

Lu Ye’s consciousness returned to his true form.

His aura surged once again, and a great path broke through the earth, growing wildly.

It was the Path of Invincibility.

After achieving self-redemption on Earth, Lu Ye’s heart had become flawless.

Having traversed to the Nine Heavens, there was no way he would tread the treacherous Guardian Path that led to ruin without recompense.

The Path of Invincibility from his past life now belonged to the present.

In one breath, Lu Ye became the pinnacle existence within the Path of Invincibility.

The might of his path was on par with the Path of Annihilation.

Yet, all of it was merely for the sake of seeking the Dao.

Lu Ye’s cultivation realm also surged violently.

TriLife Realm Fourth Layer, TriLife Realm Fifth Layer, TriLife Realm Sixth Layer…

Finally, it soared all the way to the TriLife Realm Eighth Layer.

Only then did Lu Ye’s aura stop rising.

The results were quite satisfactory.

Lu Ye was relatively pleased.

There remained one final tribulation—the Tribulation of the Present Life.

Once the Tribulation of the Present Life was completed, his Dao heart would be perfected, and the next step would be relentless advancement.

...

Reincarnation.

The Celestial Lord of Reincarnation snapped back to his senses.

“Infinite… What in the name of the Celestial Lord of Reincarnation, who is this guy?”

Shock filled his eyes.

Seriously, whose TriLife Realm cultivator undergoing the TriLife Tribulation had dragged even him into the tribulation?

He then looked to the deepest depths of reincarnation, where the doubled obsessions lay.

He couldn't help but shudder.

What kind of terrifying being was this, and what was he doing? Just a slight ripple effect from him had doubled the obsessions he had been painstakingly trying to dissolve.

Could this also be part of a tribulation?

He then looked at the Vermilion Bird's obsession, recalling how her unending screams had grown even more agonizing today.

So, was the Vermilion Bird also part of that terrifying existence's tribulation?

Scared me to death!

He absolutely couldn't touch even a shred of the Vermilion Bird's obsession—this overwhelming karma was something he wanted to stay far away from.

However, the Celestial Lord of Reincarnation could also see it clearly.

For this terrifying existence to successfully overcome his tribulation would be anything but easy.

He would watch and wait.

Detached Immortal Domain.

The Detached Immortal Venerable also opened his eyes, unable to suppress a sigh of emotion in his heart.

The word "love."

Truly terrifying.

To think it could trap such a supreme being in such dire straits.

Fortunately, he was detached from emotions!

...

The Seventh Heaven.

Yin Qingcheng and the Three Lives River Lord fought with earth-shattering intensity.

Yin Qingcheng was still at the Great Dao Realm, not yet having broken through to the Sovereign level, but the Three Lives River Lord's lifebound treasure had shattered, leaving her severely wounded. With her many techniques, Yin Qingcheng had been suppressing the Three Lives River Lord in battle.

"It's all your fault! All your fault!"

Yin Qingcheng roared incessantly.

The Three Lives River Lord...

Oh, heavens, who could understand her pain?

This madwoman had schemed against her for no reason, stolen her Three Lives Stone, then broken it, and now she was relentlessly beating her up.

And she was blaming *her*???

The Three Lives River Lord was so furious she nearly coughed up blood from sheer rage.

But what infuriated her the most was that she couldn't win!

This lunatic's techniques were all astonishing, and her Great Dao was terrifying to the extreme.

She truly couldn't defeat her.

"I will surely avenge today's grudge!"

Three Lives River Lord let out a shrill cry, her figure instantly transforming into a streak of light as she vanished.

"Don't you dare run!"

Yin Qingcheng roared furiously, continuing her relentless pursuit.

Fortunately, while Three Lives River Lord might lack in other areas, her means of escape were undeniably unmatched.

Before long, she managed to slip away from Yin Qingcheng's grasp.

Yin Qingcheng let out a hysterical scream.

"Ahhh—!"

Mountains crumbled, rivers raged.

After a bout of frenzied howling, Yin Qingcheng clutched herself in agony.

Her body curled into a tight ball.

"Wuuu…"

A mournful weeping sound softly arose.

Yin Qingcheng’s entire heart felt as if it were being torn apart, the pain so intense it left her breathless.

Ultimate love, forgotten love, ultimate love, forgotten love… Hahaha… Hahaha…

Suddenly, wisps of black mist began gathering before Yin Qingcheng.

The mist intertwined, and a woman clad in a black dress, breathtakingly beautiful, appeared before her.

Yin Qingcheng continued to sob.

An Li was in no hurry, waiting patiently.

Had Lu Ye seen An Li at this moment, he would have been utterly stunned—for though An Li had always been stunningly beautiful, she had never before reached such an ethereal level of perfection.

This beauty…

One could say it was second only to Shen Xitong.

It was a beauty that belonged to the Great Dao, a beauty of the absolute extreme.

Finally, when Yin Qingcheng’s tears subsided, she lifted her head and looked at An Li.

"It’s all your fault!"

In an instant, Yin Qingcheng struck.

An Li gently extended a finger and lightly tapped Yin Qingcheng.

In that moment, Yin Qingcheng froze in place.

"Why the rush? Everything has only just begun."

"Ding ding ding, stupid host, stupid host!"

The system suddenly started cursing in Lu Ye's mind, causing him to pause just as he was about to enter the tribulation of this life.

"Come out!"

Lu Ye spoke.

"Ding, good host, it wasn’t me scolding you, it was Him scolding you. I’m so cute, so well-behaved, how could I ever scold you?"

"Ding ding ding, stupid host, stinky host!"

"Ding, it really wasn’t me! Wait, I’ll beat Him up!"

"Ding ding ding, stinky... mmmph..."

Lu Ye ???

Lu Ye immediately realized.

Was it... Providence?

In the previous life, the system had borrowed the power of Providence to forcibly reverse time.

She had lost control over Providence, but not entirely.

And now, the original Providence, which had been replaced by the system, had returned and formed a peculiar connection with the system.

So, was it Providence cursing him just now?

Judging by the system’s threat to beat up Providence, the system must hold a slight upper hand in controlling Providence.

"Ding, sweet host, done!"

"What happened? Why did Providence suddenly curse me for no reason?" Lu Ye asked.

"Ding, don’t mind Him. He’s a coward. The moment He senses a threat, He blames the host. Later, we’ll join forces and make Him regret it!"

Lu Ye was both amused and exasperated.

This system—whoever it caught, it made them regret it?

But aside from himself and the system, there was only one thing that could make Providence feel threatened.

The Source of Darkness!

Was the Source of Darkness already stirring now?

In his previous life, he had dragged the Source of Darkness to mutual destruction. This time, it definitely wouldn’t let him off.

Things were about to get interesting again.

Lu Ye closed his eyes.

The tribulation of this life—begins!

"Young master, young master, your clothes are washed..."

A girl in a mint-green dress, mischievous and spirited, walked in carrying a basin of laundry.

Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

Gathering the limited true qi in his palm, he struck swiftly, landing a palm strike on Chu Ling's chest in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

The force surged.

Chu Ling's heart meridian was instantly shattered.

Her eyes brimmed with endless light as she stared fixedly at Lu Ye.

How ruthless!

He spoke of love, yet the moment he returned from rebirth, he struck to kill?

Yue Hongling was storming over, fury in her steps.
