Within the Darkness Origin.
An Yuan'er's return signifies the full return of the Darkness Origin's consciousness.
She did not delay and began searching for suitable Quasi-Emperors.
Quasi-Emperors are the weakest group of existences within the Darkness Origin, and the Darkness Origin holds a very strong dominant position over them, capable of directly kicking them out.
Generally, if a Quasi-Emperor with little lifespan remaining is kicked out, they can only go on one last rampage before perishing.
However, even that final rampage can cause significant damage.
The might of a Quasi-Emperor is extremely terrifying.
The Quasi-Emperors sought by the Darkness Origin have certain criteria.
One, intelligent ones!
Two, those with potential!
Three, ambitious ones!
Four, those in poor condition!
Names flashed through the Darkness Origin's mind; she already had a plan.
Soon, the first Quasi-Emperor was forcibly awakened by the Darkness Origin.
The awakened Quasi-Emperor looked grim, as his injuries had not yet recovered. He had suffered terrifying trauma, the power of a Great Emperor constantly tearing at his body, which had shattered countless times. He had only just managed to stabilize it for a short period.
Now, being forcibly awakened interrupted his recovery, making him extremely displeased.
"A powerful enemy is about to ascend to the Seventh Heaven. You will go and kill him!" the Darkness Origin said in a cold voice.
"Can't you find someone else? My injuries haven't healed..."
"But you have slept long enough, and the opponent has just ascended to the Seventh Heaven. The Darkness Origin does not support trash!"
Cang Xinghe...
"Don't worry, you won't be the only one going; there will be others!"
"What kind of enemy is it that so many of us Quasi-Emperors are needed to kill someone who has just ascended to the Seventh Heaven?" Cang Xinghe asked, puzzled.
"The opponent's situation will be explained to all of you later!"
The Darkness Origin began awakening the Quasi-Emperors one by one. She couldn't be obvious, so each person awakened was carefully considered.
The more the Darkness Origin awakened, the more solemn Cang Xinghe's expression became.
Because it was too terrifying.
An existence who had just ascended to the Seventh Heaven, was it necessary to awaken so many Quasi-Emperors?
These Quasi-Emperors awakening now was clearly not ideal.
Gaitian Great Emperor followed behind the Darkness Origin, silent.
Until the Darkness Origin took the initiative to ask.
"Gaitian, seven Quasi-Emperors, do you think that's enough?" the Darkness Origin asked.
Gaitian Great Emperor pondered for a moment.
Cang Xinghe???
Limitless Celestial Venerable, seven Quasi-Emperors have been awakened, and Gaitian Great Emperor is still pondering?
Who exactly is the enemy?
"That should be enough, right? Seven Quasi-Emperors, even if all the Heavenly Gate powerhouses come out, they are no match." Gaitian Great Emperor said.
The Darkness Origin was also thinking.
"No, I'm still not at ease. I'll awaken one more. This time in the Seventh Heaven is the best opportunity to kill Nine Lives. If we miss it, I really don't know if I can find such a good opportunity again."
Gaitian Great Emperor nodded.
The Darkness Origin and Nine Lives Celestial Venerable are truly at a point where they are like fire and water, a life-and-death struggle.
However, this is also good. He was worried that Nine Lives' continuous growth and constant setbacks for the Darkness Origin would make the Darkness Origin want to surrender, which would be truly troublesome.
Soon, another Quasi-Emperor was forcibly awakened.
"No, I need to awaken one more!"
Gaitian Great Emperor frowned slightly.
That should be enough, right?
Eight Quasi-Emperors, the Heavenly Gate can't withstand that.
Another [N O V E L I G H T] Quasi-Emperor was awakened.
"No, I still need to awaken one more."
Gaitian Great Emperor quickly stopped her, "Darkness, that's enough, that's enough, that's almost it."
The Darkness Origin's voice carried hesitation.
"Is it enough?"
"I think it's enough."
"How about we awaken one more?"
Gaitian Great Emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Darkness Origin was truly going all out to kill Lu Ye now, much more strongly than he himself wanted to kill Lu Ye.
One must know that the entire Heavenly Gate only had three Quasi-Emperors.
Now, nine Quasi-Emperors are coming out together, and they are all powerful Quasi-Emperors. Gaitian Great Emperor truly couldn't think of a reason for failure.
That Lu Ye is not an existence with extensive connections; he has offended almost all major forces, and there is no aid.
"It's fine, it's really fine."
The Darkness Origin sighed regretfully.
"Alright then, it will be these nine!"
The nine Quasi-Emperors all had increasingly solemn expressions.
Good heavens, who exactly is it that has caused the Darkness Origin to make such a grand display?
"Everyone, you have also been recuperating within the Darkness Origin for a long time. Awakening you this time was a last resort."
"Let me introduce you to the enemy you will face."
The nine listened attentively.
"This person's name is Lu Ye, titled Nine Lives Celestial Venerable!"
Nine people???
Us? Facing? Celestial Venerable?
"In the previous life, when he was undergoing his Saint Tribulation, he was jointly attacked by me and others. Just as he was about to perish, he activated his time reversal ability, causing time to return to when he first began cultivating."
"Thus, he started cultivating from the First Heaven, one step at a time, until now, when he is about to ascend from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven."
"In the previous life, Nine Lives Celestial Venerable was known as the Great Emperor Annihilator, Celestial Venerable Harvester, Eternal Enemy of the Demon Clan, Prime Culprit of the Demon Clan's Demise, Pacifier of the Darkness Upheaval, Time Reverser, Ancient and Modern Supreme, Tongtian Generation..."
"Among them, within my Darkness Origin, more than a handful of powerhouses, Great Emperors, died at his hands, and two Celestial Venerables perished."
"And if he is allowed to grow further and attain the Dao to become an Emperor, that will be the end of our Darkness Origin!"
The nine listened, dumbfounded.
Holy cow, brother, what kind of existence did you provoke?
Killed more than a handful of Great Emperors?
Killed two Celestial Venerables?
And they were all from the Darkness Origin?
And with so many titles, the Celestial Venerables he killed weren't just these two, right?
"Before, in the first six Heavens, his ascension was almost Invincible. I targeted him several times, but never succeeded."
"And now, he is about to ascend to the Seventh Heaven!"
"Even if Nine Lives is strong, he is absolutely no match for a Quasi-Emperor!"
"So, this time, we must kill him!"
"You must know that Nine Lives is a person of the Heavenly Dao. There is absolutely no possibility of peaceful coexistence between us and the Heavenly Dao, and him. Only when one side is completely annihilated can the other side win!"
"This battle must be won! And can only be won!"
"Win, and we prosper; lose, and we perish!"
"Do you understand?"
The nine Quasi-Emperors were extremely solemn.
"Understood!"
"Everyone, I guarantee you, if you succeed, in the future, I will fully assist you in attaining the Dao to become an Emperor!"
"Kill Nine Lives! Attain Great Emperor!"
The Darkness Origin shouted.
The nine Quasi-Emperors also shouted.
"Kill Nine Lives! Attain Great Emperor!"
"Kill Nine Lives! Attain Great Emperor!"
The Darkness Origin shouted again, her voice impassioned.
"Kill Nine Lives! Attain Great Emperor!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Dark Clan also began to plot. They did not want to kill Nine Lives, but rather to do their best to capture Nine Lives alive.
At that time, their God will descend!
Nine Lives, ascend!
