Chapter 360: The Strongest Main Soul

Emperor Daohen walked with Lu Ye.

At this moment, myriad beams of light formed an enormous figure, beneath which even the galaxy seemed insignificant.

With just a single punch, the three ancestral leaders of the alien races were all sent flying back.

Lu Ye couldn’t even make out the fight’s details—the terrifying surge of energy distorted everything.

His figure soon arrived at the edge of the Fourth Heaven.

Without a second thought, he strode inside.

The title "Emperor" was never a joke...

Well, at least it wasn’t before the appearance of the eight female Emperors.

After the eight female Emperors emerged, especially when Shangguan Huanling attained the Emperor realm, the title of Emperor was no longer synonymous with invincibility.

Its prestige hit rock bottom.

If her partner weren’t Lu Ye, the other Emperors might have intervened to suppress her cultivation.

But her partner was Lu Ye!

Who’d dare complain about an Emperor raised on Celestial Lord treasures?

Lu Ye stepped into the Fourth Heaven and exhaled deeply.

He knew exactly who those three were—no hurry. Lu Ye was magnanimous—he’d even help their clans live forever!

Five years flew by in a flash.

He had no idea if Lin Chuyue had ascended yet.

He could ascend anytime now. Normally, whether Lin Chuyue ascended was none of his business, but now he was the sect master of the Heavenly Gate.

Lu Ye pulled out his Sound Transmission Stone and contacted Lin Chuyue.

"Wah!"

Lin Chuyue shrieked.

"You’re finally back! If you hadn’t come back, I’d have ascended by now! You have no idea how much I’ve been holding back!" Lin Chuyue exclaimed excitedly.

Originally, it would have taken her ten years to ascend, but due to Lu Ye’s grand formation, her cultivation speed skyrocketed, reducing the time to just three years.

Then, after devouring gossip about Lu Ye, her progress accelerated even further, leading her to...

Hmm...

Total coincidence!

She was now just two and a half years away from ascension!

How could she ascend without seeing Lu Ye one last time?

So she stalled for two and a half more years.

"No more holding back. Did Bai Qingfeng become sect master?" Lu Ye asked.

"Oh no! Not yet!"

"I'm ascending too. Go and hand over the position of the Fourth Heaven's Sect Master to Bai Qingfeng right now, then we can ascend together."

Lin Chuyue...

No, even before becoming Sect Master, she was constantly being ordered around by the Drunken Sword Taoist. Now that she's finally the Sect Master, she's still being ordered around. What was even the point of becoming Sect Master then?

"I should..."

Before Lin Chuyue could finish, Lu Ye interjected, "Did you forget I'm now the Grand Master of the Heavenly Gate?"

Lin Chuyue???

Shit, she totally forgot!

The flood of gossip she'd taken in was so overwhelming that a tidbit like Lu Ye becoming the Grand Master of the Heavenly Gate had slipped her mind.

Lin Chuyue slumped in defeat.

Perfect, just perfect. She finally had a subordinate under her, and before she could even give any orders, that very subordinate had become her superior again.

So annoying!

But what could she do? Just obey, as usual.

"Then wait up!"

"Alright!"

After ending the conversation with Lin Chuyue, Lu Ye contacted the Heavenly Gate in the Fifth Heaven.

"Celestial Lord Reborn"—now that was tempting.

Lu Ye didn’t believe that no one would try to capture him. That damn Ascension Pool was probably guarded by who knows how many powerhouses right now.

But perhaps they’d be smarter this time—either disguising themselves or sending out low-profile experts to avoid failure and drawing Lu Ye’s retaliation.

But did they realize?

Lu Ye wasn’t flying solo anymore. He was now the Grand Master of the Heavenly Gate, a top-tier force across the Nine Heavens, with an Emperor backing him.

You think you can ambush me up there? Do you really think I have no one above me?

"Understood, Grand Master!"

"Understood, Grand Master!"

Lu Ye issued orders one by one, a smirk playing on his lips. We’ll see who’s hunting who this time!

With that, Lu Ye prepared to face his tribulation.

But just then, a soft whimper sounded from within the Human Emperor Banner.

Bai Qiulan, after undergoing continuous modifications, had finally awakened. In truth, she had woken once before, but the moment she regained consciousness, she was consumed by shame and rage, attempting to self-destruct within the Human Emperor Banner!

The Human Emperor Banner was furious—this was a personal failure—and thus began to put Bai Qiulan through rigorous ‘correction’.

After such a long period of discipline, Bai Qiulan had regained her senses once more.

Lu Ye observed with keen interest.

Bai Qiulan opened her eyes, her gaze first blank, but soon she covered her head and face, emitting a blood-curdling scream!

Dense malice surged from her soul!

Listening closely to her screams, it seemed she was saying: "No! No! I'm not that kind of hypocrite!"

"I'm not!"

"Please, stop looking at me!"

"I beg you, stop talking about me!"

"Whoever looks at me again, whoever speaks of me again, I'll kill you!"

"I was wrong. I was truly wrong!"

Lu Ye broke into a satisfied grin. Jiang Die and Chu Ling had entered like mindless puppets, but Bai Qiulan was not like that.

She still retained some autonomy, or perhaps the Entire Nine Heavens had witnessed her shameless hypocrisy, crushing her completely.

However, it was clear that Bai Qiulan was the strongest among the three main souls.

After all, in her previous life, apart from helping Bai Qiulan absorb the Chaos Venom, Lu Ye had rarely aided her in cultivation—her natural gifts were simply too extraordinary!

Thus, Bai Qiulan was the most normal Emperor-level Cultivator.

Since she died the most tragic death and had been the strongest in life, it was only natural she now became the most vicious primary soul.
