The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 8: The Heavenly Pill

Pfft!

Chu Shifei was dead.

Even though his head had rolled to the ground, his face still carried a manic and mocking smile.

In the end, he finally cursed loudly like a man, releasing all the fear he had in his heart.

Chu Ling wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and with her sword in hand, she walked out.

Outside, Zeng Shuiyue and the group of guards froze when they saw Chu Ling, whose body was charred black, walking out. They were stunned at first, then their expressions changed drastically.

"Chu Ling, why are you the one coming out?"

Zeng Shuiyue's voice suddenly became sharp.

"Pfft!"

Her mouth was pierced by the demon sword on the spot.

"Did you all know I was the sword sacrificer?" Chu Ling’s murderous gaze locked onto all the guards.

The group of guards remained silent.

"Where is Chu Si?"

It was at this moment that Chu Ling finally realized why Chu Si, who had watched her grow up, immediately tried to drive her away when she returned.

How could he not recognize her?

He knew that Chu Sword Manor was a pit for Chu Ling, and he didn’t want her to return.

Regret gnawed at his heart like a poison.

Chu Ling moved!

In an instant, the sound of screams filled the air.

The entire Chu Sword Manor turned into a hell.

She had also gotten her answer: Chu Si was dead, her biological parents were dead, and everyone who had been kind to her was dead.

Kill, kill, kill!

Kill him completely, leave not a single trace.

In the end, the entire Chu Sword Manor was devoid of life.

Even the dogs and chickens were slaughtered.

Chu Ling arrived at a rooftop, the same rooftop where Lu Ye had once brought her and stood with her.

At that time, Lu Ye had said, "Deserved!"

Chu Ling broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.

It was deserved!

She deserved it!

...

"Alright, no more looking."

Lu Ye waved his hand, and the light screen dissipated. Chu Ling had already obtained everything she wanted.

Next, the Nascent Soul experts would come to kill her.

With her current state, she would die.

He now felt a perverse pleasure, which left Lu Ye in silence.

This is bad. I think I’ve changed from before.

If it were in the past, even if Chu Ling had done something to hurt him, seeing her suffer would either have made him feel heartache or seem boring.

Now, why does it feel so satisfying?

Lu Ye slapped his head. Satisfying? Well, that's just how it is!

Having died once on Earth, and nine times in the previous life, accumulating to a total of ten deaths, becoming a pervert doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

"Well, she got what she wanted. What about Yue Hongling? What kind of core did she form?" Lu Ye asked, purely curious.

His core, which he called the Saint Core, was actually more exaggerated than a normal Saint Core. This was because he used half of his true energy to form his core, and after forming it, the Heavenly Stagnation Poison's rule force disappeared.

The other half of his true energy also flowed into the Saint Core.

Hmm, he had raised the quality of his core by half a step.

Cultivate, cultivate, Yue Hongling can form whatever core she wants, it’s none of my business.

At this moment, Yue Hongling was already in seclusion.

Because she hadn’t gotten the Perfect Origin Returning Pill, she was taking this formation seriously and had made ample preparations.

Whether or not she could form a Saint Core was all up to this moment!

"Gather!"

Yue Hongling let out a soft cry.

The true energy around her gathered toward her dantian like a tidal wave. The various pills she had prepared beforehand all worked in unison, while treasures around her released their powers.

Hmm...

How should I put it?

These methods of assisting breakthroughs actually came from Lu Ye.

Because Yue Hongling’s aptitude wasn’t enough, in order to help her keep up with the others, Lu Ye would spend his effort collecting many treasures to assist her, ensuring that each time she broke through, she could reach a perfect, or near-perfect, level.

But, Lu Ye sought treasures and pills for assistance because he had the system!

Every time he used these treasures and pills, he would run countless simulations, adjusting the amount of the treasures and pills, ultimately ensuring that everything would succeed without a flaw.

So Yue Hongling thought that as long as she prepared everything thoroughly, her breakthroughs would always be perfect???

The breakthrough began.

True energy gathered, and the surging, thick true energy clearly indicated that she would be able to form a very good core.

But at that moment, a surge of medicinal power came rushing in.

The flow of true energy suddenly accelerated.

Another surge of medicinal power came, and the total amount of true energy rapidly increased.

Yet another surge of medicinal power came, speeding up the core formation.

Yet another surge...

Yue Hongling furrowed her brows, her fair cheeks turning an abnormal shade of red.

Her complexion changed slightly, and she quickly formed another hand seal!

It was a mess! Everything was messed up!

Yue Hongling panicked. No, something was wrong. Why was it wrong?

In her past life, with the assistance of various treasures and pills, her breakthroughs had been as if aided by divine forces. Each level was quickly broken through with help after help.

Until the breakthrough was complete, all the assistance disappeared without leaving her any burden.

But in the end, Yue Hongling still reached the Emperor Realm. Though mistakes had been made, she had forcibly pushed through all the help.

“Pfft!”

A mouthful of fresh blood was spat out.

Yue Hongling's face turned pale, but she didn’t dare hesitate. She quickly went back to forming the core.

Without the chaotic forces randomly helping her, this time, forming the core was much smoother.

In the end, the core formed was... a Heaven Core!

"How could it be a Heaven Core!" Yue Hongling nearly exploded with anger.

In fact, a Heaven Core was also a top-tier core. Ninety-nine point nine-nine percent of people in this world formed Star Cores. Only one in a million could form an Earth Core, and only one in a billion could form a Heaven Core.

The key was that in her past life, Yue Hongling had formed a Saint Core without knowing anything, without understanding anything.

Now, with the memories of her past life, she, a former Emperor, ended up with a Heaven Core!

How could this not make Yue Hongling furious?

"It’s all Lu Ye’s fault! If it weren’t for him constantly using treasures and pills to help me break through, this time, I could’ve just used the perfect Origin Returning Pill to form a Saint Core!"

Yue Hongling said furiously.

What she said was true. With her experience as an Emperor, even without the Perfect Origin Returning Pill, she could have formed a Saint Core.

The problem was that she had ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) used a bunch of random treasures and pills, which backfired and caused her to form a Heaven Core instead of a Saint Core.

One could only say, everything happens according to fate.

She immediately got up to find Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was cultivating, continuously cultivating.

Every day, his strength was growing, steadily moving forward toward the Nascent Soul realm.

For him now, the misfortune of the eight women would certainly bring him some enjoyment, but ultimately, his goal was to return to his peak, a peak stronger than ever before, to see the landscapes he hadn’t seen in his previous life.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Lu Ye, get out here!"

Lu Ye didn’t even frown, still in his cultivation state.

If Yue Hongling dared break in again, he would take action without hesitation.

To hell with it, whoever wants to do what, let them!

"Lu Ye, why does using treasures and pills to assist my breakthrough result in forming a Heaven Core? Before, with assistance, I could break through perfectly!"

"Lu Ye, are you doing this on purpose?"

"I clearly don’t need treasures and pills to break through; I could have formed a Saint Core! You did this on purpose!"

"You’re really a petty person! A complete, utter petty person!"

"I used to really be..."
