Chapter 902: Eternal-level Lord
[Killed a peak Sovereign Venerate.]
[Obtained 40,000,000 evolution points.]
Light flashed in front of Wang Ye's eyes.
He quickly put away his wings, as well as Venerate Taibei's treasures and corpse.
Then, he calmed his breath and replenished his energy, using the great path of life to grant his body a powerful recovery.
It seemed like he had easily killed Venerate Taibei, but he had actually consumed a lot of energy.
In particular, the final soul annihilation was even more difficult than willpower annihilation.
It was all thanks to Venerate Taibei who had continuously consumed his own soul energy.
Otherwise, even with the soul poison and the crimson soul-destroying thunder, it wouldn't be easy to annihilate a peak Dark Venerate's soul.
All that said, the one who succeeded was the hero.
Venerate Taibei no longer existed.
He would replace him and become the new Lord!
...
Taibei was dead?
When Venerate Ye Chui felt Venerate Taibei's aura disappear, he was somewhat shocked.
Although he had never thought of helping Venerate Taibei, he was still a little shocked to see the latter being killed right under his nose.
This Eternal was unexpectedly powerful, with omnipotent melee and long-range attacks!
Even he wasn't confident that he could win.
"Beautiful." Venerate Ye Chui clapped his hands.
Wang Ye nodded calmly.
Everything was within expectations, other than that he had killed rather than defeated the enemy.
"I can now replace Venerate Taibei and become the new Lord, right?" Wang Ye looked at Venerate Ye Chui.
There were only five peak Venerates in the alliance territory, so the identity of this peak Venerate was obvious.
He must be one of the five Lords.
"I don't have a problem with that." Venerate Ye Chui smiled. "The other three old fellows probably won't have any objections either. After all, you killed Venerate Taibei openly in front of me. However, if the news gets out, the other Venerates in the territory might not be convinced by you. After all, you are just an Eternal."
Wang Ye was very calm. "Please help me spread the news. I will stay in Taigao Palace. Whoever wishes to challenge me can come. I won't reject anyone, but... Life and death are not guaranteed."
"Are you that confident? Be careful that they'll take turns fighting," Venerate Ye Chui said.
"It doesn't matter." Wang Ye said.
Rather, he was afraid that they didn't send themselves to his doorstep.
He had only earned a mere 100 million evolution points this time in Taigao Palace. He still had many advanced realm Great Paths that he had not advanced.
He was lacking evolution points. He would take as much as he could get!
"Alright." Venerate Ye Chui nodded in praise.
He didn't say anything else and left because he knew that killing Venerate Taibei was only the beginning.
Whether or not this Eternal would be able to secure his position was something that would require time to verify.
However... To think an Eternal could easily kill a peak Venerate.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard to believe.
"Those three fellows will probably be shocked when they hear this." Venerate Ye Chui revealed a smile.
He really wanted to see the expressions of the other three peak Venerates when they heard the news.
...
Taigao Palace was empty.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.
Venerate Taibei was gone. Even the second-in-command, Venerate Tailang, had died. The rest naturally fled.
What else could they do?
To fight against such an insanely powerful Eternal?
Even the Ancestor was killed, so what were they...
Only Wang Ye and Ye Bian were left in the empty Taigao Palace. It was very quiet.
"Senior, what should we do now?" Ye Bian had no clue.
"Nothing." Wang Ye said, "Cultivate in peace. The cultivation environment here in Taigao Palace is not bad, and we have a section of the Divine Blood River to ourselves. It's full of innate energy. It's a treasure land in the barren Nine Calamity Star."
Ye Bian nodded and hesitated, saying after some thought, "Don't we need to gather some subordinates?"
Wang Ye couldn't help but laugh. "Do you think Venerates will submit to us?"
"Impossible." Ye Bian didn't even think about it.
"Exactly." Wang Ye said, "It's useless to recruit ordinary High Dimension Lords. Once I leave, they'll surely be unable to guard Taigao Palace. So, why waste energy?"
"Where are you going, Senior?" Ye Bian asked in surprise.
"The high-dimensional battlefield," Wang Ye said truthfully. He looked at the shocked and confused Ye Bian and said, "Don't worry. I'll make the necessary arrangements for you."
Sticking with him all this way, Ye Bian had done a lot of work.
Wang Ye was quite fond of this ambitious subordinate. In the future, he would be a powerful chess piece.
"Keep this. When the time comes, refine it." Wang Ye gave the Heart Connection Sub-Bracelet to Ye Bian.
Venerate Taixing's emerald bracelet.
Now that he had the dom-bracelet, he didn't need the sub-bracelet that was like an accessory.
"Thank you, Senior!" Ye Bian's eyes lit up with gratitude.
Wang Ye smiled.
With the dom-bracelet, not only could he protect the sub-bracelet's bearer, but at the same time, he could also control the latter.
He naturally had to control his trusted aide of the Dark race.
...
Refine the treasures!
Venerate Taibei had many good things.
Other than the low-grade ancient gem treasure, the Heart Connection Dom-Bracelet, there were two other low-grade ancient gem treasures, as well as a medium-grade ancient gem treasure.
"Blood-Eyed Mackerel." Wang Ye quickly refined it.
Driven by the great path of saint blood, it was an energy-type treasure that consumed soul energy. The instantaneous explosive power was outstanding.
"A soul treasure." Wang Ye was quite lacking in soul treasures.
However, this thing was a double-edged sword.
Once it was blocked, it would be a waste of his soul energy.
Just like how Venerate Taibei's previous usage of it had been completely blocked by True Treasure Temple.
Both were medium-grade ancient gem treasures, but the Blood-Eye Mackerel was unable to break through True Treasure Temple's defense. After all, the latter was a chaos domain gem treasure.
A chaos domain gem treasure possessed both willpower and boundless energy. It was the best of its kind!
"I have the crimson soul-destroying thunder, a great weapon. With the help of the Blood-Eyed Mackerel and the soul poison, I have a chance to kill opponents who don't have high attainments in the soul." After Wang Ye annihilated Venerate Taibei's soul, he had a new understanding.
He could kill experts below the Venerate level through energy consumption while Venerates could only be killed through willpower annihilation.
But now, there was a new method, giving him more choices.
"Very soon, I'll be able to test it out in actual combat." Wang Ye was looking forward to it.

Alliance territory.
The news of Venerate Taibei's death and the birth of a new Lord spread like wildfire.
"How is this possible? Venerate Taibei is a peak Venerate! How could he die at the hands of an Eternal?!"
"There must be something fishy! The other four Lords actually acknowledged the new Lord's identity!"
"If you think there's a problem, then go challenge him. The new Lord has already spoken, saying that he's waiting in Taigao Palace and he won't reject anyone who comes to challenge him. Whoever defeats him will become the new Lord, but life and death are not guaranteed!"
"He's too arrogant! He's just a mere Eternal! What right does he have to be our Lord?!"
"Go! I, Venerate Lai Fu, am willing to serve whoever can kill him!"
...
The territory was in an uproar!
The Venerates yearned for the position of Lord, but they were also hesitant about the current scarce amount of information.
After all, Venerate Taibei was really dead!
However, the Dark race never lacked brave men.
It was especially so when the opponent was a mere Eternal. It was difficult for him to scare the Dark Venerates who fought in the Nil Emperor Realm all day long.
They had never cowered before!
But in the end, their endings were all the same.
Once they entered Taigao Palace, they did not leave. That place was like a devil's abyss that devoured everything!
Many Venerates had fought with the other Lords before. Even if their strength was inferior, they could at least keep their lives.
In contrast, this Eternal was truly terrifying.
"Give up. He's very strong. I'm one of the few who have fought him and survived. As far as I know, he has killed nearly ten Venerates, three of whom are high-grade Venerates."
"I'm under Venerate Ye Chui, so why don't I tell everyone a piece of news? When the new Lord challenged Venerate Taibei alone, Venerate Ye Chui was there and witnessed it."
"I have a friend who escaped from Taigao Palace. He really killed the Ancestor. It's true!"
...
There was no such thing as an impenetrable wall.
Wang Ye's reputation as an Eternal Lord quickly spread.
In the beginning, some who were in denial still came to challenge him.
However, this gradually became rare.
The battle results explained everything.
Eternal Lifeforms were Eternal Lifeforms.
Wang Ye's strength was genuine. Most importantly, the death rate of challenging him was too high!
"They are all afraid of death." Wang Ye looked at the red thunderclouds above him. They had already gathered on a large scale.
During this period, he had only killed 11 Sovereign Venerates.
Were they scared out of their wits?
It had been a year since any new Venerates had dared to challenge him.
He felt somewhat lonely.
It seemed that his evolution point gains had come to an end.
His profit was still a little short of 300 million.
In addition to what he had obtained from killing Venerate Taibei previously, he had accumulated 412 million!
"Upgrade and prepare to pass the fifth thunder calamity." Although Wang Ye had absolute confidence, he still had to be careful.
After all, his thunder calamity was of the highest grade.
His fifth thunder calamity was probably comparable to others' chaos seventh thunder calamity.
He opened his interface.
[Do you want to spend 75,000,000 evolution points to upgrade your great path of life?]
[Yes.]
Wang Ye did this first.
The improvement of the great path of life was of great help to his recovery, durability, and willpower.
The fifth thunder calamity required defense and vitality the most. With this, not only could he resist it better, but he could also absorb more saint thunder energy.
Continue!
[Do you want to spend 75,000,000 evolution points to upgrade your great path of the thunder element?]
[Yes.]
The second upgrade!
It was not just for the fifth thunder calamity.
Having better control over the crimson soul-destroying thunder which would allow him to unleash more power during battle also had a huge impact.
Furthermore, his types of innate great paths of energy were not many. Being focused would be of greater help to his combat prowess.
Combined with the divine treasure of Two-headed Four-arms, the power was extremely strong.
Again!
[Do you want to spend 50 million evolution points to upgrade your great path of the true seal?]
[Yes.]
The last upgrade!
The improvement of the great path of the true seal strengthened the connection between the great path of saint blood and the great path of nine calamities.
At the same time, different true seal laws had different effects on one's attack and defense.
Moreover, this was the prerequisite for the path of nine calamities.
It was a perfect match for the great paths of saint blood, the body, and strength.
After all upgrades were completed, he had 212 million evolution points left.
Wang Ye came out of the space of consciousness and let out a sigh of relief.
Next, he would wait for the fifth thunder calamity to descend and break through to the sixth degree of the Eternal level.
After that, he would head to the high-dimensional battlefield and leave this lousy place!
Hmm?
Wang Ye suddenly sensed the arrival of four powerful auras, and one was extremely familiar.
Venerate Ye Chui.
"What are the four Lords doing here?" Wang Ye's eyes flickered as he disappeared.
