“Hahaha, Shen Xitong, you did very well this time. For a lunatic like her, you should strike hard!” Yue Hongling laughed heartily, for once actually praising Shen Xitong.
So, she wasn’t just targeting her. Shen Xitong provoked everyone. Seeing Shen Xitong drive Yin Qingcheng away in a rage, Yue Hongling’s dislike for Shen Xitong lessened by about one percent.
Shen Xitong looked at Yue Hongling.
“I, Lu Ye, swear to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that Shen Xitong is my Dao companion. Should this vow be false, let Heaven and Earth annihilate me!”
Yue Hongling: ???
“Ex-Wife Yue, has my brother ever sworn such a vow to you?”
Shen Xitong asked, her eyes sparkling with a sweet smile.
Yue Hongling’s smile immediately vanished.
“I, Lu Ye, swear to the Great Dao of Heaven ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) and Earth that Shen Xitong is my Dao companion. Should this vow be false, let Heaven and Earth annihilate me!”
“And Master Bai, my brother never made such a vow to you either, right?”
Bai Qiulan...
Lu Ye couldn’t help but rub his forehead. Using his arm to shield his expression, he finally couldn’t hold back the slight curve of his lips.
However, once he lowered his arm, his smile disappeared.
“That’s enough. Stop playing it,” Lu Ye said.
“I, Lu Ye, swear to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that Shen Xitong is my Dao companion. Should this vow be false, let Heaven and Earth annihilate me!”
Shen Xitong played the vow again, directly to Lu Ye’s face.
Lu Ye’s expression darkened.
“Okay~ I always listen to Brother the best,” Shen Xitong said, her voice as soft as ever.
The projection disappeared, and Shen Xitong cast one last look at Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan.
Both of them unconsciously took a step back.
Shen Xitong immediately burst into an exceptionally cheerful smile. Her body transformed into a streak of light and merged back into Lu Ye’s body.
At that moment, both Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan felt a sense of humiliation.
Although they didn’t want to admit it, the reality was that Shen Xitong’s combat power was truly terrifying.
In front of her, they were always ridiculed, always at a disadvantage.
Because their moral integrity was lacking.
Shen Xitong still had Lu Ye’s support.
Seeing Shen Xitong disappear, both women couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.
“Senior Brother, long time no see.”
Yue Hongling’s eyes turned red almost instantly, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Husband... I was wrong,” Bai Qiulan said, and for the first time, she actually admitted her mistake in front of Lu Ye.
Moreover, she finally called him “Husband.”
If it were the Lu Ye of his past life, hearing those two words would have sent him over the moon.
He still remembered the first time Bai Qiulan called him “Husband.” He was so elated that he foolishly laughed for days, tossing spiritual stones around the Fourth Heaven like they were worthless.
Because back then, he believed that his efforts had finally paid off.
That his love had been reciprocated.
But times had changed. The sea had dried up, and the stones had crumbled.
Now, hearing those two words, Lu Ye felt only ridicule.
“You did nothing wrong. I was the one who was wrong,” Lu Ye said calmly. “I will say it again: the matters of the past life have returned to dust. In this life, I have nothing to do with you two. I have acknowledged my mistakes and only hope that you two will never appear before me again.”
“Because... I can barely restrain the urge to kill you both!”
Both women’s faces turned deathly pale.
“Senior Brother, please, don’t be so heartless! I only beg for one chance — just one chance. In this life, I will never betray you!” Yue Hongling said urgently.
“Husband, you once said that to admit one’s mistake and correct it is the greatest virtue. In this life, we only seek a chance to make amends. Can’t you even grant us that?” Bai Qiulan pleaded.
Lu Ye was getting annoyed.
In the next moment, countless beams of light intertwined, forming a terrifying divine light that surged toward both women at once.
These two women kept chattering incessantly. Lu Ye felt he might as well shatter their Daos and send them to the Human Emperor Banner.
The two women’s expressions changed dramatically.
They wanted Lu Ye’s forgiveness, not for him to kill them.
They hastily tried to block the attack.
“Boom!”
Their bodies were sent flying backward.
Lu Ye frowned.
Hmm... he had forgotten that his strongest Dao of Protection was now gone. The Daos he had left were all of imperial-level might.
But there was still one Dao that was usable.
“Boom!”
A pitch-black Extinction Divine Light surged into the sky.
“Retreat!”
Bai Qiulan’s expression changed drastically. She grabbed the disheartened, eyes-shut, ready-to-die Yue Hongling and rapidly withdrew.
Even so, the two were still struck by the Extinction Divine Light, and their figures momentarily flickered and dimmed.
Lu Ye’s figure disappeared. This time, he chose to pursue them!
However, at this moment, an overwhelmingly powerful aura descended — the aura of an Emperor.
The moment this aura appeared, the entire chaotic battlefield seemed to freeze solid.
The Jiang Clan!
It was still the Jiang Clan!
A powerful cultivator from the Jiang Clan had arrived, wielding an imperial weapon, charging straight at Lu Ye.
“Enough is enough!”
Lu Ye’s expression turned icy.
Seriously, when will it end? The Jiang Clan possessed two imperial weapons — one named the Void Mirror and the other named the Extinction Spear. The one charging at him now was the Extinction Spear.
“Lu Ye! You must die! This time, no one can save you! You must die!”
Jiang Li from the Jiang Clan roared with fury.
The Jiang Clan was finished!
Just today, the Jiang Clan had been completely wiped out!
Four Emperors, carrying two imperial weapons, had descended upon the Jiang Clan, already devastated by Jiang Tianming’s self-destruction.
Even though Jiang Li had returned quickly, by the time she arrived, the Jiang Clan had been annihilated.
The Void Mirror had escaped with a portion of the Jiang Clan’s members, whereabouts unknown.
Once upon a time, the Jiang Clan had two Heavenly Lords and two Emperors, ruling for countless eons.
But today, they had been wiped out.
It was over. Everything was over.
And the one responsible for it all was this Lu Ye — an ant from the Third Heaven!
Kill him!
He must be killed!
Lu Ye watched the terrifying Extinction Spear as it tore through the chaotic void, sending waves of destruction rippling through the air.
Under the activation of an Emperor-level Dao, the power of the imperial weapon was fully unleashed.
At this moment, the entire chaotic battlefield was shrouded in imperial might. All living beings, all Daos, were forced to bow down.
It could be said that if a Heavenly Lord did not appear, an Emperor was the strongest existence in this world.
An imperial weapon, meticulously refined by an Emperor and nurtured with their own Dao essence and blood energy, could indeed unleash attacks that were no weaker than those of an actual Emperor when wielded by a supreme cultivator.
Facing such an attack, Lu Ye remained extremely vigilant.
But he was unafraid.
He had slain Heavenly Lords — what was an Emperor?
Infinite radiance erupted around Lu Ye’s body — all the Daos he had comprehended to the extreme.
He clenched his fist.
All the radiance converged upon his fist, layer upon layer.
In the end, only black remained.
At the outermost layer of his fist, the Dao of Pursuit materialized.
The Dao of Pursuit was still very weak. Well, then it could use this opportunity to gain some experience.
“Heavenly Lord’s Fist!”
The Extinction Spear tore through the chaos. The Heavenly Lord’s Fist shattered the void.
Two terrifying forces collided head-on.
The chaotic battlefield could not withstand the collision of such terrifying Dao power, letting out a sorrowful wail.
All the Dao-formed projections, except for a few powerful figures, were forced to the ground, unable to rise.
Finally —
A deafening explosion!
The entire chaotic battlefield shook violently as waves of force rippled in all directions.
Who won and who lost?
