Chapter 222: The Gathering

Lu Ye indeed had a plan.

Having been reborn, Lu Ye had endured a lot of frustration. To kill the Jiang Clan, he actually had to rely on formations?

Now, he had finally arrived at the Chaos Dojo, a place purely for the confrontation of Daos.

In other words, he was now on home ground!

Lu Ye intended to fully enjoy himself. It was clear that one Emperor alone wasn't enough to give him a proper thrill.

First, he would keep running.

Lu Ye’s figure flickered in and out of sight, shuttling rapidly through the countless layers of void.

He wasn’t particularly fast, but the void here was constantly shifting and flipping.

Chaos itself was a place with no up or down, no left or right.

With countless layers of space constantly changing, Jiang Tianming was trying to pursue him but simply couldn’t keep up.

Jiang Tianming was starting to feel puzzled.

What kind of Dao was this guy cultivating?

Could it be the Dao of Escape?

Impossible!

Even if it were the Dao of Escape, there was no way he could move this quickly or this smoothly.

The Chaos Dojo felt like Lu Ye’s backyard. Despite not moving particularly fast, he could easily open one door after another, making it impossible for Jiang Tianming to catch him.

But Jiang Tianming was an Emperor!

In the Chaos Dojo, he was an invincible existence!

How could he fail to catch a mere ant?

A dark thought crossed Jiang Tianming’s mind.

Could this Lu Ye be the reincarnation of some ancient powerhouse?

But even if he were, Jiang Tianming was unafraid. He was a supreme power of the present era. He was an Emperor!

The Chase Continues!

In the Seventh Heaven, Jiang Tianming’s physical body opened its eyes. He was an Emperor, so naturally, he wouldn't send his entire Dao into the Chaos Dojo—it was too risky.

Nevertheless, he had sent in eighty percent of his Dao.

"Order! All powerful cultivators of the Jiang Clan, enter the Chaos Dojo and join me in hunting down Lu Ye!"

The members of the Jiang Clan were stunned.

Jiang Tianming had entered the Chaos Dojo and hadn’t managed to kill Lu Ye?

And now he was calling for reinforcements?

What was going on?

"It’s not that his Dao is strong, but his escape capabilities are too exceptional. We need to surround him!" Jiang Tianming clarified.

"Understood!"

Instantly, one after another, new Daos entered the Chaos Dojo!

"Daoist Jiang, let me lend you a hand!"

"Hahaha, excellent! Thank you, Daoist Feng. Once we deal with this ant, we’ll drink together!"

"Agreed!"

"Hahaha, Daoist Jiang, let me join in the fun. You wouldn’t mind, would you?"

"Of course not, Daoist Shen. The Jiang Clan will be eternally grateful for your assistance!"

One after another, countless rays of light shot toward Lu Ye.

However, these were only a small number of people. Most cultivators remained cautious.

After all, although an Emperor was nearly invincible in the Chaos Dojo, he was not truly invincible.

If he were, why would he need help?

What did that imply?

It implied that the opponent was also formidable.

Without a solid relationship, no one wanted to get tangled up in such a massive grudge.

Those who did join were either close allies of the Jiang Clan or saw this as an opportunity to gain favor.

The number of people pursuing Lu Ye increased.

But Lu Ye was too elusive. Calling him a mudfish would be an understatement; he was slipperier than a mudfish.

He was like the most precise of machines, calculating every single escape route with terrifying accuracy.

The vast majority of cultivators in the Chaos Dojo were focused on this chase, watching the streaks of light crisscrossing through the void and weaving ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) among the Daos.

Dao intents surged and collided, filling the air.

Most cultivators kept a low profile, not daring to act recklessly, afraid of being caught in the crossfire and mistakenly killed.

But there was one group of people who couldn't stay still.

The cultivators of the Invincible Dao.

Two Invincible Dao cultivators happened to be in the same void space.

Even though an Emperor was making a move, they couldn’t help but size each other up.

"What are you looking at?" one Invincible Dao cultivator said.

"What’s it to you?" the other retorted.

"Wanna try me?"

"Bring it on!"

They fell silent for a moment.

Then:

"What are you looking at?"

"What’s it to you?"

"Wanna try me?"

"Bring it on!"

...

They still couldn’t bring themselves to fight.

The commotion up there was too terrifying. If they started anything and attracted the attention of those big shots, a single glance from one of them could obliterate their Invincible Daos.

"Stop chasing!"

Suddenly, Jiang Tianming’s voice echoed through the Chaos Dojo.

"Something’s wrong!"

Jiang Tianming’s brows were deeply furrowed.

Indeed, something was very wrong.

With so many powerful cultivators surrounding Lu Ye, and yet Lu Ye could still keep escaping—that was no longer just a matter of being good at running away.

That meant he might actually be stronger than them.

The moment that thought arose in Jiang Tianming’s mind, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Impossible!

"Ancestor, what’s wrong?" someone asked.

Jiang Tianming’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Not good! Tell Jiang Li to bring the Imperial Artifact and enter the Chaos Dojo!"

Jiang Tianming roared, his eyes snapping shut.

Because at that moment—

The Lu Ye who had been fleeing suddenly stopped moving.

All around him, the powerful cultivators who had converged on him tightened the encirclement.

Lu Ye stood in the center, a faint smile on his face.

This time, the Jiang Clan would fall!

"Kill him!"

One of the Jiang Clan’s Dao Realm powerhouses immediately made his move. A beam of divine light shot toward Lu Ye.

Lu Ye neither dodged nor blocked. He took the attack head-on.

The terrifying Dao strike landed squarely on Lu Ye’s body, but his figure didn’t even tremble.

In that instant, the entire crowd was stunned.
