The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 79: His name is Lu Ye!
"It’s still rising?"
All across the heavens, everyone saw the name that had just been knocked down by the light.
Even though it was just for an instant, they saw it—clearly.
Good heavens—Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, Mo Sheng, Heartless Saint, Demon Saint...
One saint after another, mercilessly replaced.
How terrifyingly powerful was this newly risen Heaven’s Chosen?
Sixth place: Xiang Changsheng!
The Longevity Saint!
A supreme cultivator who had walked the path of the Great Dao to an unimaginable level, ultimately attempting to become one with heaven and earth, to live as long as the universe itself. Unfortunately...
What in this world is truly eternal?
Even the cosmos will one day explode into a fleeting spark.
And it’s still rising!
Fifth place: Mortal Dust Brother!
At this point, the names belonged to truly ancient existences. It was hard to fathom how, in such an ever-intensifying cultivation world, these figures had managed to remain at the forefront for so long.
And that name... didn’t even sound like a name. More like a title.
Hm... well, putting someone else’s name on the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking—that alone was a power move.
Fourth place: Nìluàn! (Chaos Reversal!)
The undisputed number one during the Reversal, Archaic, and Bloodshed Eras.
When the Great Saint of Reversal appeared, yin and yang were flipped, star rivers flowed backward.
Across all Nine Heavens, countless cultivators were now witnessing the ranking live.
Could he break into the top three?
Everyone was waiting, eager.
Some hoped he’d make it.
Others hoped he’d fail.
Lu Ye himself was quietly curious.
What kind of existences are in the top three?
Suddenly, the beam of light surged forward—into the top three.
But this time... the names of the top three did not appear.
Even Lu Ye didn’t get to see them.
He guessed there were two possible reasons why the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking didn’t display them.
First, the top three were taboo.
Existences that could not be spoken of.
Second, they were still alive.
In either case, if the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking displayed them, it might trigger immense karmic repercussions.
It could even be directly destroyed.
As for Lu Ye’s own ranking, the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking seemed to hesitate.
It couldn’t decide exactly which position Lu Ye should occupy.
Seeing this, Lu Ye let out a low laugh.
"When you hesitate—that means I’m already number one."
Three mysterious beings whom the stele dared not provoke—and Lu Ye, who was not yet that powerful. The fact that the stele was hesitating about placing him meant only one thing, didn’t it?
Upon hearing Lu Ye’s words, the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking seemed to steel its resolve.
In an instant, within Lu Ye’s vision, the radiant beam of light leapt upward—
Soared—
And landed directly at first place!
The pinnacle of the list!
The Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking then flew toward Lu Ye of its own accord, hovering silently before him.
"Please inscribe your honorific title."
For Lu Ye, this was a moment of decision.
Should he write "Nine-Life"?
Or should he write his real name?
If he used "Nine-Life," no one would know it was him until much later.
But if he used his real name—then every realm under the heavens would remember Lu Ye.
And in the future, there would surely be unending, earth-shaking battles.
After all, the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking was located in the First Heaven—Heaven’s Chosen from the other Eight Heavens had no chance to leave their names on it.
Yet many of those Heaven’s Chosen had terrifying talent. Some were born fused with the Dao.
What could he do? Their parents were powerhouses.
If Lu Ye wrote his real name, then all of those monsters would become his rivals on the path of Dao.
But—
Who cared?
Lu Ye lifted a finger as his brush.
In his past life, he had never feared the enemies of the world.
In this life, he feared them even less.
None of that "lie low and secretly develop until you shock everyone" bullshit.
In Lu Ye’s eyes, there was only one path—press forward with unstoppable might, battle all enemies under heaven, and become truly invincible!
He used his finger as a brush.
The stroke of the brush was fierce like a dragon, swift like a snake.
Two large characters burst forth onto the void.
His name—Lu Ye!
“Boom!”
The entire Heaven’s Chosen Ancient Battlefield trembled at once.
Immortal light surged, chaos swirled.
The Great Dao descended like chains, manifesting between heaven and earth.
The name Lu Ye appeared clearly upon the stone stele—upon the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking—and before the eyes of all cultivators across the Nine Heavens and the myriad realms.
“Bold!”
In an instant, countless Heaven’s Chosen lit up with divine brilliance in their eyes.
Such boldness!
To write one’s real name—stroke by stroke, with full clarity—how much audacity did that take?
Good. Very good. Lu Ye.
Even many cultivators who had long since abandoned the desire to compete drew a sharp breath.
This was a ruthless one—a heaven-shaking, bone-chilling ruthless one.
This one act alone made it clear: in the future, storms of blood would sweep across the land.
“First Heaven, huh? Come up. Please, I beg you to come up—I can’t wait to either kill you or be killed by you!”
“Arghhh, why isn’t that me? Why wasn’t I born in the First Heaven? Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking, do you dare come to me?!”
“Too crazy. But damn it, I really like it!”
These were the words of strangers—outsiders, watching, observing.
But in Nine Dragon Valley—
When the crowd saw that the number one name on the Heaven’s Chosen Stele was Lu Ye, they all gasped at once.
Lu Ye!
He actually—fucking—reached first place on the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking!
Holy shit.
That’s number one!
This content is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
All the Saints, Heavenly Lords, Emperors on that list had just been trampled underfoot.
Nine Dragon Valley fell into an eerie, prolonged silence.
The members of Grand Dao Sect actually wanted to cheer out loud in that moment.
This was Lu Ye—their disciple from Grand Dao Sect!
Their disciple—had become number one on the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking!
If this had been a normal situation, they would’ve burst into cheers, absolutely ecstatic.
But the problem was... Lu Ye had just massacred a heap of disciples from the various sects. To those sects, he was now a thorn in the flesh, a mortal enemy, unforgivable.
To cheer... wasn’t appropriate!
But to not cheer—haha—it was getting hard to hold it in!
Number one on the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking!
Their disciple from Grand Dao Sect!
Just thinking about it filled them with a sense of unmatched glory.
“Still going to encircle and kill him?” asked a Grand Elder from Mountain River Pagoda Sect, his voice a little shaky.
If it had just been twenty-something rank... even rank ten-something... they’d still go for it.
But this—was first place!
A powerhouse from the Supreme Empire instantly became incensed.
“Why wouldn’t we? So what if he’s number one? A Heaven’s Chosen is still just a Heaven’s Chosen—not a real powerhouse!”
“No matter how gifted, kill him and he’s nothing!”
“When he was unknown, we’d send one Tribulation Realm cultivator to kill him. Now that he’s ranked number one—we’ll send ten, fifty Tribulation Realms to kill him. I don’t believe we can’t deal with a newly risen Heaven’s Chosen!”
“If we don’t kill him—what, are our dead disciples supposed to have died in vain? If we let this slaughtering demon live, he’ll come knocking on our doors sooner or later!”
The Supreme Empire cultivators were worked up, and so were the elders from the Yin-Yang Law Sect.
Other sects had only lost a portion of ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) their young elites. But these two sects—their younger generation had been completely wiped out.
“But Grand Dao Sect...” the elder from Mountain River Pagoda Sect still looked concerned.
“Grand Dao Sect, didn’t you say Lu Ye’s soul stone had shattered? This Lu Ye can’t be your disciple. If we attack him, will your sect intervene?”
The Grand Elder of Grand Dao Sect was silent for a moment.
Then replied, clean and sharp:
“We will intervene.”
“To help whom?” asked a Grand Elder from Jie Sect.
“Anyone who tries to kill Lu Ye—we’ll fight them.”
All the sects...
