Chapter 354: Identity Exposed!

The people of the Nine Heavens watched Bai Qiulan's hysterical outburst, their interest growing even stronger.

Tch, what exactly couldn’t be seen?

Well then, they were determined to get a good look.

The scenes projected from memory slowly emerged within the burning soul.

Yue Hongling kicked in Lu Ye’s door, only to find him choking her with a ferocious expression, as if intent on strangling her.

What the hell, Lu Ye!

Faced with such a radiant and delicate girl, he actually resorted to such brutality?

This guy really did have a murderous instinct. And for someone like him, his so-called *shifu* still thought killing her was some grand feat?

The memories continued to unfold.

Yue Hongling was taking another beating!

Lu Ye’s fists were truly fast and ruthless—one punch gave Yue Hongling a shiner, and when she charged at him, murderous intent flared.

The onlookers were horrified. Jesus, Lu Ye's a complete psychopath!

Yue Hongling didn’t even seem to do anything, so why was he trying to kill her?

But soon, Yue Hongling’s demand for a Perfect Reversion Pill made some frown.

You… that’s no way to ask for a favor, is it?

What did she mean by "others have such good natural talent, they don’t need a Perfect Reversion Pill"?

Who in their right mind would complain about their own Reversion Pill being too high-quality?

Yue Hongling began forming her Reversion Pill.

The Nine Heavens crowd watched as she pulled out a pile of medicinal herbs, their heads practically covered in question marks.

What was she doing?

When they saw her using the herbs to assist her breakthrough, nearly everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

What?

Oh shit!

What the fuck are you doing?

If you’re breaking through, just use the proper pill refinement. Why are you messing around with all these random medicines?

Sure enough, someone who could’ve condensed a Saint-grade Pill ended up with a Heaven-grade Pill due to the chaotic mess of pills.

Furious, Yue Hongling marched straight off to confront Lu Ye, screaming curses.

What followed next made everyone in the Nine Heavens suck in a sharp breath.

Bai Qiulan made her entrance, and as Yue Hongling tearfully recounted her grievances, Bai Qiulan blurted out an earth-shattering revelation:

"Wait, you possess the memories of the Emperor and cultivate the *Eon Chaos Canon*..."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire Nine Heavens erupted into chaos.

Yue Hongling was actually an Emperor’s reincarnation!

Moreover, the fact that Bai Qiulan spoke so calmly about an Emperor’s reincarnation—what did this imply? It meant Bai Qiulan was at least as powerful as Yue Hongling.

Thus, Bai Qiulan was also an Emperor’s reincarnation.

But what about Lu Ye?

"An Emperor’s reincarnation! And not just one—no wonder Lu Ye is so powerful!"

"Before reincarnating, they seemed to have had enmity. It appears Yue Hongling harmed Lu Ye, which is why he holds such deep resentment!"

Lu Ye glanced up at the light screen. Yue Hongling was now going for mutual destruction.

Makes sense. At this point, who would still care if their identity as an Emperor’s reincarnation was exposed?

Lu Ye didn’t react much to this matter. Rumors had long circulated that he was at least the reincarnation of an Emperor, or even a Celestial Lord. Now, it was merely confirmed.

What did it matter if it was confirmed?

Let all the demons, monsters, and lowlifes come try to kill him if they dared!

As long as the laws of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens held for even a day, Lu Ye would fear nothing.

This secret of rebirth was barely even a secret anymore, as people like Yin Qingcheng and An Li were fully aware of it.

If they wanted to expose it, it would be simple.

Yue Hongling’s memories flashed by rapidly.

An Emperor’s love and hate!

The crowd watched spellbound. Holy crap, an Emperor would betray a devoted partner—who had pulled her up to the throne—for a dead demon?

Most crucially, that partner was the one who made her an Emperor.

Lu Ye’s identity continued to be unveiled.

As the scenes unfolded bit by bit, the people of the Nine Heavens got chills.

A Celestial Lord—Lu Ye was actually a Celestial Lord!

No way!

A Celestial Lord!

The crowd was so shocked their scalps went numb.

This was the reincarnation of a Celestial Lord. How many Celestial Lords were there even in the current Nine Heavens?

As Yue Hongling’s memories kept unraveling, the audience could barely breathe.

The love and hatred between one Celestial Lord and eight Empresses.

Holy crap, do cultivators these days go this hard?

Moreover, in all of history, no one had ever heard of a Celestial Lord and eight Empresses like that!

Such a terrifying lineup should have gone down in history no matter which era they appeared in. Why does no one knows who they are today?

But soon, they understood.

It wasn’t reincarnation!

It was rebirth by reversing time!

This was something even sages might not even achieve, yet it was truly happening right now.

At this moment, Sun Ruowei’s power skyrocketed uncontrollably!

The factions opposing Lu Ye were all breaking out in cold sweat at this point.

Just who had they crossed?

A Celestial Lord reborn from the past!

No wonder, no wonder they couldn’t win no matter what they did. Facing such an opponent, winning would’ve been a miracle.

"Bai Qiulan doesn’t seem to have any major issues, does she? It seems she acted without thinking, which led her to... poison Lu Ye—the Celestial Lord?" someone spoke up.

"Indeed, she doesn’t appear to have major issues. Why would Lu Ye want her dead? Let’s keep watching!"

"At this point, I already feel my life is worth it. To witness the Celestial Lord and empresses’ love-hate saga—it makes my soul shudder with thrill!"

...

Of course, Bai Qiulan was fine at first.

But as Bai Qiulan struggled and roared wildly, the crowd buzzed anew.

It seemed trouble was brewing.

"Hong Ling! I beg you, please stop! I beg you!"

"I’m willing to die!"

"I’ll repay the harm I caused you with my death!"

"I’m begging you!"

Bai Qiulan shrieked raw, face streaked with tears and snot.

Yet Yue Hongling stood vacant, deaf to pleas.

The appearance of *Chanu's Extreme Yin Manual* changed Bai Qiulan forever.

A question arose in everyone’s mind:

When *Chaos Venom* took effect, was Bai Qiulan even aware?

Was she, or wasn’t she?

The Nine Heavens bore witness as Bai Qiulan, in the name of love, spun a web of ‘love,’ trapping Yue Hongling tightly.

Yet Yue Hongling was the one who had been kindest to her since rebirth.

But what kind of torment was Yue Hongling enduring?

Brutal!

Absolutely brutal!

“She must have truly lost control of herself. Otherwise, the Chaos Venom could have been shared between them, and this complete breakdown of one party wouldn’t have happened.”

Someone remarked while watching the scene.

Everyone witnessed Yue Hongling, unable to bear the excruciating pain, begin a vicious, escalating duel of words and blows with her master, each attack more ruthless than the last!

The moment Bai Qiulan used the Nine Larceny Soul Art to subdue Yue Hongling, everyone in the Nine Heavens saw Yue Hongling’s face—grinning through her tears.

The entire Nine Heavens fell silent.

Holy crap!!!

This woman...!

This master...!

She... she actually...

A bone-deep chill gripped everyone.

Terrifying. Just terrifying…
