Chapter 2402 Punishment Comes, Lu Ye’s Death

Hua Ci was trying to comfort Jiuyan and Su Yuqing who were unaware of the situation, but she knew that things would not be that simple.

If Lu Ye was really not in danger, he would never let the old tree convey this message.

But Lu Ye is always like this, no matter how dangerous it is, he will face the challenge head-on.

He is just one step away from repairing the Star Abyss Gate. If he is asked to withdraw at this time, will he be willing?

It was obviously impossible. He saved the starry sky from one catastrophe after another and led the future of the starry sky. Hua Ci knew that no one could make him give up what he was doing at the moment.

Because what he has to protect is not only the starry sky, but also his loved ones.

Hua Ci had never felt such torment before. She pursed her lips, her teeth biting them until they bled. She had always lived peacefully under Lu Ye's protection because she was his woman. It is a man's responsibility, instinct and achievement to protect his woman.

Hua Ci was willing to live under his broad wings and let him enjoy the sense of accomplishment that belonged to a man.

But now, she hated her own weak strength and was unable to step forward to help Lu Ye at this time.

Ten days is not a long time, but to Hua Ci it felt like a year.

Jiuyan and Su Yuqing obviously noticed something, their pretty faces were solemn, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.

In front of the gate of Xingyuan, Lu Ye, who was wearing a special armor, felt extremely peaceful.

Because he probably realized what would happen to him, he specifically asked the old tree to convey his words.

It doesn't make sense that I was punished last time but I can be fine this time. Since the invisible rules have been triggered, the punishment will definitely come. It's just a matter of sooner or later!

As expected, as the Star Abyss Gate continued to shrink, the feeling of palpitations became stronger and clearer, until this moment, it had clearly reached a critical point!

Even though he was hiding inside the Blood Ancestor's corpse, Lu Ye's skin ached and he felt cold all over.

The breath of death lingered all over his body.

He had never felt that death was so close to him!

The punishment for breaking a certain rule has not come yet, and it is obvious that a bigger punishment is being held back. The previous punishment was just a warning, and Lu Ye was stubborn, so this time the punishment would naturally be real.

The reason why it didn't really come was like the final warning from Xingyuan's will - if you want to stop, it's still not too late!

Lu Ye felt a sense of peace in his heart, as well as a surge of strength. He expressed his position through practical actions.

On Fangcun Mountain, the free source of power was injected into the Gate of Xingyuan...

Just before the Star Abyss Gate was completely closed, Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked towards the Star Abyss Gate.

But he could not see anything. Until this last moment, he had no idea what Master Yun was doing on the other side.

But ever since Master Yun Wang charged into Xingyuan with a sword, no enemy from Xingyuan has invaded over the years. This shows that his remaining obsession has never dissipated.

The Star Abyss Gate closed completely.

The sages who survived the last Star Abyss invasion were also forever cut off from the starry sky.

Lu Ye sat still.

The imagined punishment did not come, and even the palpitations that had been lingering in my heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He was slightly stunned, not knowing what was going on.

At that moment just now, he clearly felt that his death was approaching, but at the last moment, everything was fine?
It cannot be said that it was Xingyuan's will that let him go. That will has no intelligence or preferences. Although Lu Ye has the identity of Xingyuan's son, this identity alone cannot influence the decision of that will.

Furthermore, if his speculation was correct, that punishment was not actually brought down by Xingyuan's will, but was the consequence of him violating certain rules.

If so, why is this happening?

But this is a good thing after all. Lu Ye has even prepared for the worst.

Lu Ye was happy for a moment, but when he was about to walk out of the Blood Ancestor's corpse, his face suddenly changed.

At the same time, many star monks who were watching from afar also noticed that something was wrong.

The aura of the star abyss all around suddenly began to boil at this moment. With this abnormal boiling, the Taoist power floating in it quickly gathered in one direction.

That direction is exactly where the Blood Ancestor’s corpse is!

The Star Abyss Gate here has appeared for more than 20 years. During these 20 years, the Star Abyss aura surging from the Star Abyss has covered several surrounding galaxies.

At the moment the abnormal movement occurred, ripples appeared in the space of these galaxies, and all the Taoist forces in the vast space were drained!
Then everyone saw a horrifying scene.

Above the Blood Ancestor's corpse, a ball of green light suddenly took shape and slowly fell down, like a falling green sun!

The punishment...is finally coming!
Even if the Star Abyss Gate has been closed.

Inside the corpse of the Blood Ancestor, Lu Ye instantly felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He frantically urged his own strength, and the Taoist power reserves on the talent tree were like a flood that had burst a dam and was flowing out madly!
The huge corpse of the Blood Ancestor was immediately protected by rich Taoist power.

The green light was like moonlight, washing down.

The protective Taoist power, which was equivalent to the level of Hedao, melted away in an instant like snowflakes under the scorching sun. No matter how Lu Ye mobilized his own strength, it was too late to replenish it.

The sudden change caused many monks who were watching from afar to exclaim in surprise, and what they saw made them even more nervous.

Because the corpse of the Blood Ancestor, which had been lying across the starry sky for countless thousands of years, now began to melt like a candle under the flushing of the green light!
The green light continued, and the Blood Ancestor's body continued to shrink.

In less than ten breaths, the huge creature was reduced to half its size, but the terrifying power of the green light continued unabated.

That is the power formed by the Taoist forces that permeate several galaxies. Under the continuous cover of power, not to mention Lu Ye at the moment, even if he recovers, he will find it difficult to resist.

His spiritual power had never been depleted so severely at any other time.

Lu Ye had thought about riding the Blood Ancestor's broken body to escape, but no matter how he dodged, the green light always followed him like a shadow, as if it had recognized him.

He smiled bitterly in his mind.

I thought we could really live in peace, but who knew there was no way to escape.

It really proves the saying that what is meant to come will eventually come.

He couldn't understand why this punishment could still come when the Star Abyss Gate had already been closed!
He thought about whether he could use the power of Fangcun Mountain to fight against this punishment, but if he really did so, it would inevitably consume a lot of the origin of Fangcun Mountain, and this consumption was definitely not comparable to the consumption when repairing the Xingyuan Gate.

This time, in order to repair the Xingyuan Gate, the origin of Fangcun Mountain was already lost. If it is consumed again, no one knows what the consequences will be. It is possible that this treasure will be broken.

By then, the dwarf people will completely lose their homeland, and Lu Ye will lose this treasure forever. This is a consequence that neither he nor the dwarf people can bear.

Moreover, the Blood Ancestor's corpse melted too quickly in a short period of time, and this special armor was already in a damaged state, so even if he really wanted to do so, he didn't have the ability to do so.

He could only work harder to mobilize his Taoist power to fight against the power of the green light.

After a few more breaths, when the Blood Ancestor's corpse completely dissolved, Lu Ye's lonely and unruly figure finally appeared in everyone's sight.

The green light that was almost disappearing washed down from above his head.

Hua Ci flashed and rushed towards Lu Ye, gritting her teeth tightly, tears pouring out of her red eyes.

At this moment, she did not have any extra thoughts. She only had one idea, which was to rush to Lu Ye. Even if she died, she wanted to die with him!
In a world without Lu Ye, there is nothing worth cherishing.

"No!" Following closely behind Hua Ci was Jiuyan. She looked in Lu Ye's direction and could almost foresee what would happen next, and cried out sadly.

Next to Jiuyan was Su Yuqing. She didn't say anything, but the fear and anxiety on her face were obvious.

Headmaster, Master, Yiyi, Amber, Ma Bin...

Everyone was rushing forward, one by one. Even though the force ahead was beyond their ability to contend with, they were fearless and only wanted to rush to Lu Ye's side and lend him a helping hand.

Shrouded in green light, Lu Ye turned his head and glanced over here.

Immediately, in full view of everyone, the whole person melted away like a snowflake.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Jiuyan's face turned pale as paper in an instant. Su Yuqing fainted without saying a word.

Lu Ye is dead!

No one had expected that just repairing the Xingyuan Gate would lead to such a separation of life and death. Just now, all of them were rejoicing about the closing of the Xingyuan Gate, but no one knew that Lu Ye was doing this while risking his life.

Hua Ci did not see that scene, or rather, even though her eyes were always looking forward, she did not want to see that scene. Her tears blurred her vision and the whole world was dark.

She continued to fly forward, heading towards the place where Lu Ye died, without hesitation.

A land of a million miles is not far for one to enter the Tao.

But as she flew, Hua Ci slowed down. She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, but could not wipe away the endless tears. Her heart was torn, her face was pale, and her steps were staggering.

Just now she only wanted to rush over and live and die with Lu Ye, but now she didn't dare to move forward.

The green light had dissipated, along with the Blood Ancestor's corpse and Lu Ye. Only a Fangcun Mountain remained over there.

For Hua Ci, even if there is a smooth road ahead, it is still an endless abyss. The closer she gets to it, the more her mind sinks and she cannot see the light.

But in that endless darkness, there was indeed a faint light blooming.

Hua Ci thought she was hallucinating, but when she looked harder, she saw that there really was light.

She wiped her blurry eyes vigorously, holding back the tears that were welling up in her eyes, and looked forward intently, then her expression showed a slight surprise.

After a while, the confused crowd finally came to their senses and slowly gathered at the place where Lu Ye died. Su Yuqing was still in a coma, and Jiuyan was holding her.

A group of people stood here, looking at an oval-shaped object in front of them with doubtful eyes.

This is obviously an egg, but no one knows what kind of egg it is. It is as tall as a person and is left at the place where Lu Ye died. The eggshell is a light gold color and there are extremely complex and intricate patterns on the surface of the eggshell, flickering as if the egg is breathing.
