The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn

The tribulation clouds rolled,
oppressive to the point it felt like the entire sky was about to collapse.
Beneath the thunder,
all living beings quivered in terror.
Jiang Die had already crossed her third tribulation bolt.
Her strength was terrifying—
normal heavenly tribulations simply couldn't hurt her anymore.

Her power level had already far exceeded the limits
that a Celestial God Realm cultivator could reach.
"Trash!"
Seeing Lu Ye's figure arrive so quickly,
Jiang Die couldn't help but curse aloud.

Lu Ye said nothing.
He simply took a step forward—
directly entering the range of the heavenly tribulation.
"Kill!"

Jiang Die couldn't take it anymore—
this Lu Ye had gone completely mad, utterly insane!
The two once again clashed with identical skills.
The tribulation clouds, sensing that someone had intruded into the tribulation range,
and that someone was even fighting the tribulation-crosser,
instantly exploded in rage.
What did this mean?

What did they think the heavenly tribulation was?
The clouds began frantically expanding—
the lightning turning fully golden.
Golden lightning—
this clearly was far beyond standard tribulation levels.

The two fought fiercely,
deploying all manner of techniques—
neither able to absolutely suppress the other for now.
Still that same truth:
Jiang Die’s realm was vastly higher than Lu Ye’s.
BOOM!

Two tribulation bolts simultaneously struck,
both crashing into the same location.
The two were fighting so ferociously,
they didn’t even bother dodging the tribulation bolts.
BOOM!

Tribulation lightning, no weaker than a normal Communication Realm bolt,
smashed down onto both of them,
scorching their bodies black and leaving them numb.
However—
Lu Ye had cultivated the Ninefold Tribulation Indestructible Body.
Clearly—
Jiang Die had not.

After all, she had only just been reborn—
barely managing to comprehend a portion of Lu Ye’s Great Dao and divine abilities
was already a feat beyond imagination.
Where would she find the time
to painstakingly cultivate something as demanding as the Ninefold Tribulation Indestructible Body?
Thus—
even when taking lightning head-on,
Lu Ye’s ability to recover and the degree of injury he suffered
was noticeably lighter.

And just this tiny difference—
was enough for Lu Ye to gain the upper hand.
Sword light and fist strikes rained down,
forcing Jiang Die backward under relentless pressure.
But Jiang Die was stubborn beyond belief.
Though she hadn’t trained the Ninefold Tribulation Indestructible Body,
she had cultivated the Immortal Indestructible Body—
the ancestral technique of the Immortal God Clan.

It granted her a life force that was truly endless,
allowing her to endure incredible amounts of damage.
Fifth Tribulation Bolt!
Lu Ye’s fist smashed heavily into Jiang Die’s face.

The impact caved in her face entirely,
sending Jiang Die flying.
But mid-flight,

her appearance regenerated back to about 70–80%,
with only traces of blood left behind—
barely impacting her fighting capability.
"You can't kill me. You will NEVER be able to kill me!"
Jiang Die shrieked with crazed determination.

The Eternal Teachings Sect members, watching from afar,
unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that even though Lu Ye had barged into the tribulation—
he hadn’t had that much of an effect after all.
Jiang Die truly had endless tricks up her sleeve.

She had taken Lu Ye’s full punch
but still looked almost unscathed.
BOOM!
Sixth Tribulation Bolt descended.

Once again—
the two were struck black and smoking,
their bodies riddled with cracks,
blue-white lightning flickering within the wounds.
Lu Ye rushed forward again.
But this time—
instead of continuing to attack Jiang Die—

he grabbed her while she was still briefly paralyzed!
Jiang Die, realizing what happened,
struggled violently.
Her elbow smashed toward Lu Ye’s temple.

Lu Ye tilted his head, narrowly avoiding a vital spot,
and stomped heavily onto the ground.
BOOM!
The two figures blasted forth—
charging like mad toward the Eternal Teachings Sect crowd.
Yes—
charging straight at the Eternal Teachings Sect crowd!

The sect disciples were stunned.
No one had expected Lu Ye
to pull off something so insane.
They hadn’t been very far from the tribulation’s edge to begin with—
this was something Lu Ye had deliberately arranged.

Under Lu Ye’s explosive charge,
he closed the distance almost instantly.
At the same time—
he injected his Heaven and Earth Tribulation Art into the clouds above,
causing the tribulation force to violently surge.
A surge in tribulation force
meant it would become easier
to drag others into the heavenly tribulation’s range.

Lu Ye charged straight into the crowd!
The strongest among them tried to flee at full speed—
but most, no, a majority—
couldn’t escape.
The tribulation clouds hesitated for a moment.

And then—
they erupted into pure fury!
They were the Heavenly Tribulation!
The manifestation of heaven’s will!

And now—
these damned cultivators were treating it like a game?
Normal tribulation-crossers tiptoed in terror,
terrified of any disturbance that might provoke a stronger bolt.
But what were these maniacs doing?

Strike them dead!
Strike them all dead!
Jiang Die went crazy.

She pounded Lu Ye with everything she had,
even unleashing the Heavenly Sovereign Fist.
But every time she threw a Heavenly Sovereign Fist,
Lu Ye countered immediately with his own.
No matter what technique she used,
Lu Ye ignored it,
simply brute-forcing forward while carrying her toward the Eternal Teachings Sect.

That savage momentum—
even Jiang Die was dazed for a moment,

feeling as if she were back in her past life,
being smashed forward by Lu Ye's brute strength.
The Eternal Teachings Sect headquarters lay just ahead.

Lu Ye’s bloodshot eyes
fixed onto their direction
as he charged like a madman.
Every stomp of his feet
caused his leg muscles to tighten to the extreme,
his true essence crazily surging through his body,
turning his legs into blood-smeared messes.
"Stop him! Block him!!"

Shentu Xing fled at full speed,
barely avoiding getting caught in the tribulation’s scope.
Watching Lu Ye’s reckless charge,
he nearly exploded in rage.
Jiang Die, what the hell are you doing?!

Kill him!
Kill him, damn it!!
Shentu Xing was on the verge of going mad.

After a few breaths—
Lu Ye and Jiang Die smashed violently into the Eternal Teachings Sect’s protective barrier.
In the sky above—

the tribulation clouds—
Good!
Good!!

Good!!!
Golden lightning began darkening—
deepening into a terrifying dark-gold hue.
In the roiling storm clouds,
a dark-gold tribulation bolt started to form.

Jiang Die finally broke free of Lu Ye’s grasp,
her fists pummeling Lu Ye’s head into a bloody, deformed mess.
But—
Lu Ye laughed.

He laughed wildly.
This kind of terrifying tribulation lightning—
could Jiang Die still cross it?
Even if she survived—
what would she look like afterward?

Countless disciples of the Eternal Teachings Sect
let out wails of despair.
They had been dragged into the heavenly tribulation.
Dark gold!

It was dark gold!
Any deeper, and it would transform into the dreaded violet-gold lightning of the Ninth Heaven.
Every color shift in heavenly lightning
marked an enormous leap in destructive power:

White → Silver → Gold → Dark Gold → Violet Gold → Violet → Dark Violet → Black.
BOOM!
Seventh Tribulation Bolt fell—
an ocean of dark-gold lightning weaving together.

The Eternal Teachings Sect—
was annihilated in an instant.
Jiang Die roared madly,
countless strands of Dao intent flickering behind her,
unleashing her strongest Heavenly Sovereign Fist.

BOOM!
Her fist and forearm
were instantly obliterated into dust.
Her body crashed heavily into the ground,
half-dead and barely breathing.

Lu Ye was also blasted deep into the earth—
his entire body charred black,
the wounds unimaginably miserable.
This was a scorched-earth tactic.
But—

he had four lives now.
What was there to fear?
Die?
Then just revive!
Eighth Tribulation Bolt began to condense.

Jiang Die’s body erupted with surging vitality,
rapidly regrowing her arm and fist.
Like a desperate, flickering candle,
trying to stave off the inevitable end.
