Chapter 81: Choice
Why could Lu Ye claim the top rank?
In his previous life, he was merely a Heavenly Venerable who had never ascended to the Saint realm. Now, he had simply been reborn—on what grounds did he have the ability to surpass Saints?
Especially with the top three being unspeakable taboos.
Among the top ten on the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking, which one wasn't a dazzling, peerless genius?
Lu Ye believed there were three main reasons.
First, the great tribulation he faced as a Heavenly Venerable was called the Eternal Calamity.
Among all tribulations recorded throughout history, the Eternal Calamity was rightfully ranked as the number one catastrophe. Across the endless ages, it had only ever appeared once.
That was back in the distant beginning of the Primeval Era, when a divinely blessed being, born of the heavens and nurtured by the earth, with the physique of a Chaotic Dao Embryo, stood undefeated in battles against Saints even while still in the Heavenly Venerable realm. The day that being became a Saint was the day the Eternal Calamity descended.
And yet even such a sacred being failed to survive the tribulation.
He fell beneath the Eternal Calamity.
It could be said that any Heavenly Venerable capable of triggering the Eternal Calamity already had combat power no less than an ordinary Saint.
Lu Ye had also failed. But why did he fail?
