Hearing Lu Ming's words, Ye Fan knew he was finished once again!
He had been tricked by this damned mortal.
Sure enough, he was pulled down the vortex, retracing his steps back into Lu Ming's mysterious dantian.
“Boom...”
Without any surprise, Ye Fan was sucked straight into the dantian.
The moment he entered the dantian, Ye Fan's consciousness plunged into darkness.
Thus ended his life as a blade in this world.
Seeing Ye Fan shredded to pieces, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh with relief.
Ever since Ye Fan chased him back in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, he hadn't had a single good impression of this Immortal Saber.
Because of that, he had always remained on guard against it!
Later, after Ye Fan fell into his hands, he had intentionally let Big Yellow and the others step on Ye Fan to cross the river.
When he was reinforcing the refinement of Ye Fan, he had directly tampered with him!
He had added a formation inside Ye Fan's body that could isolate the artifact spirit.
He could activate it at any moment, so if Ye Fan ever tried to court death, he could immediately finish him off. Sure enough, his caution had paid off.
This guy really harbored malicious intent, actually trying to kill him?
But what grudge could he possibly have with a blade that had spent its entire life in a secret realm?
After a moment of thought, Lu Ming figured it must be his identity as a protagonist—he naturally attracted hatred.
Once Lu Ming's dantian devoured Ye Fan, the spiritual energy in his body suddenly recovered, and his cultivation actually broke through to the Unity stage.
Just as Lu Ming was celebrating, he suddenly saw a transparent, golden-glowing halo shoot out of his body.
The halo even carried a soul with its eyes closed. Upon closer inspection, he had never seen this soul before and didn't recognize it at all!
But that wasn't the most important part. The crucial thing was that in the center of this halo, there were two words: “Protagonist”!
Lu Ming's eyes instantly went wide. Wasn't that his Protagonist Halo?
Why was it running away with a soul?
“Protagonist Halo, where are you going? Come back!”
Seeing the Protagonist Halo fleeing, an anxious Lu Ming hurriedly took to the air to give chase.
Inside Lu Ming's sea of consciousness, the Protagonist Stepping Stone Halo, which had been happily bouncing around, froze.
By now, its color was infinitely close to pitch black.
It peered out through Lu Ming's sea of consciousness.
At this moment, Lu Ming was already breaking out in a cold sweat from anxiety.
The Protagonist Halo was his ultimate survival asset in this world.
“Protagonist Halo, get back here! You are mine!”
Lu Ming chased after it desperately.
It's over...
My Protagonist Halo has run away with someone else!
Dammit, who on earth was it? Who had abducted his Protagonist Halo?!
Lu Ming's expression was filled with despair, and his entire aura deflated.
“Rumble...”
Right then, the sky suddenly shifted as Punishment Lightning rolled in from all directions, blotting out the heavens.
Lu Ming was slightly puzzled. From the sound, he could tell that what was coming this time was neither Tribulation Lightning nor Punishment Lightning.
It was an entirely new kind of lightning!
Dammit, causing trouble for him at a time like this!
Sure enough, the voice transmission from Punishment Lightning entered his ears:
“Big brother, sob sob... A new Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning has been born... Big brother, you have to avenge me and Tribulation Lightning! The life we've been living lately isn't fit for lightning...”
Hearing this, Lu Ming was about to explode with rage!
He only hoped this Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning wouldn't interfere with his pursuit of the Protagonist Halo.
Dark clouds gathered overhead as thunder rumbled, but Lu Ming ignored it completely and continued to chase after the Protagonist Halo.
Meanwhile, in the void tens of thousands of miles above, the newly born Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning was berating the Tribulation Lightning and Punishment Lightning beside it.
“Watch closely and see how I strike down these rebels who violate the rules of the Heavenly Dao!”
“Lord Wandao, we want to uphold the rules of the Heavenly Dao too, but there are some people we just can't strike down!”
“Hmph... Useless fools! This guy is incredibly audacious, actually undergoing the Punishment Lightning and Tribulation Lightning at the same time!”
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning was about to charge down and strike Lu Ming.
But then it saw that the target was still running frantically, completely acting as if it didn't exist.
Oh? He actually dared to ignore it!
That was beyond arrogant!
Crack!
Enraged, the Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning sent a massive pillar of lightning crashing down toward Lu Ming.
Lu Ming hurriedly pushed his technique to the limit. The vortex above his head spun frantically, swallowing the incoming pillar of lightning whole.
“Get lost!”
Lu Ming looked up and roared.
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning froze, completely incredulous at being yelled at.
“Did he just yell at me?”
“No way! You must have misheard!”
Punishment Lightning quickly tried to explain.
It was obvious their big brother was in a hurry.
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning was clearly getting in his way!
“Exactly, Lord Wandao, you've already struck him! Let's go home!”
Tribulation Lightning chimed in from the side as well!
“Get lost, both of you! He literally told me to get lost, and you're telling me I misheard?!”
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning roared in fury, waving its lightning power to blast both Tribulation Lightning and Punishment Lightning away.
Then, another pillar of lightning, this one infused with the power of rules, surged toward Lu Ming.
Crack! Crackle...
This strike crashed directly onto Lu Ming.
Lu Ming quickly accelerated his technique again. This strike carried the power of rules.
Devouring it took a bit of time!
And with just that slight delay, the Protagonist Halo vanished completely from sight!
Lu Ming's face turned dark, his expression filled with rage.
Dammit, he had actually lost his Protagonist Halo!
Seeing Lu Ming's expression, Punishment Lightning and Tribulation Lightning both shivered!
Oh no, oh no, big brother is furious!
“Oh? Quite arrogant, aren't you?!”
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning saw that its target, with a furious expression and carrying a spinning vortex, was actually charging straight up into the sky.
“Damn you, Wandao! Give me back my Protagonist Halo!”
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning was taken aback. Were humans nowadays... really this arrogant?
He actually dared to provoke the prestigious Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning.
This was completely disregarding it, and disregarding the Heavenly Dao!
And what on earth was a 'pig's trotter halo' anyway?
There was no time to overthink. Today, it had to teach this guy a lesson he would never forget.
To dare challenge the heavenly majesty!
...
In an instant, the heavens shattered as the Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning commanded billions of purple-gold rule-infused tribulation lightning bolts.
Carrying the power of world destruction, they crashed down toward Lu Ming.
Far from showing any fear, Lu Ming gritted his teeth and charged straight into the Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning.
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning was slightly confused. Was this guy a fool?
He was actually actively welcoming the strike.
After the Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning surged into Lu Ming's body, it detected a somewhat familiar sensation.
In the next second, a shocking scene unfolded!
The terrifying lightning violently washed through Lu Ming's physical body and meridians.
Then, completely out of control, it behaved like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, frantically rushing into Lu Ming's dantian.
“Wait, wait... Why is this happening?!”
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning shrieked as it was sucked into Lu Ming's dantian.
Heaven and earth returned to peace, and Lu Ming stood in place with an incredibly ugly expression.
He wondered why his Protagonist Halo had run away.
And who was that soul?
Had that person taken his place as the protagonist?
That shouldn't be! He had been doing a perfectly fine job as the protagonist!
“Big brother!”
Punishment Lightning called out softly.
“Go back first. I want to be alone,” Lu Ming replied without even raising his head.
Punishment Lightning and Tribulation Lightning exchanged a glance, nodded, and vanished in a flash.
Just after the two lightnings vanished, a depressed Lu Ming suddenly felt the sky above his head turn dark...
Looking up, his eyes instantly went wide!
