The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 63: The Storm is Coming
The disciples of the Grand Dao Sect all looked over.
In Feng Tianchi’s hand was a compass. Threads of dim light swirled across its surface—black, green, white, gray, and so on.
This was a compass used to trace and detect various energies. The lights on it represented demonic energy, yao energy, ghost energy, and other strange, specialized energies.
"They’re heading toward the eighth layer of space," Bai Qiulan said.

"Are they just abandoning all the treasures and blessed grounds in the seventh layer?" Feng Tianchi was rather curious.
Bai Qiulan began to ponder.
If a single foreign race moved, it wouldn’t mean much.
But for so many of them to move at once—that was strange.
"I’ll go check it out!" Bai Qiulan decided on the spot.
"I’ll come too!" said Sun Ruowei.
"And me!" Yue Hongling added.
"Junior Brother Feng, contact the other sects and inform them of what’s happening. Stay in constant communication. If anything happens, I’ll notify you immediately—then you all must respond quickly."
Feng Tianchi hesitated slightly.
"Senior Sister Bai, why don’t we all go together from the Grand Dao Sect?"
"No need. I’ve already reached the Unity Dao realm. Even if I can’t defeat the combined forces of the foreign races, it won’t be easy for them to keep me there either."
"Besides, all the other disciples came to the Heaven’s Chosen Battlefield to seek opportunities. Since we don’t yet know what’s really going on, you all should focus on that first."
"Alright then... but Senior Sister, please be careful."
Sun Ruowei’s face remained expressionless. After all, wherever Bai Qiulan was, everyone’s attention naturally gravitated toward her.
She glanced down at her own chest.
Hmph. Everyone here is a cultivator, and they still obsess over ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) things like 'beauty is justice' or 'bigger is truth'? How vulgar! Dammit!
"Let’s go take a look."
With a wave of Bai Qiulan’s hand, the three of them stepped onto a white cloud and flew off in the direction where all the foreign races were converging.
Feng Tianchi watched them go.
Then he began contacting the other sects. Most of the other forces didn’t think much of it.
The human race was strong.
Very strong.
Even if the foreign races initiated a war and gained some advantage at first, once the human race reacted, whatever they gained would have to be paid back tenfold, hundredfold, even thousandfold.
For most human powerhouses, gathering treasures was still the top priority.
They needed to use every method possible to quickly raise their strength to the absolute peak, reach the Blood Sea Cliff, and carve their names onto the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking.
The Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking didn’t just judge who could throw the strongest punch. Rankings were based on a complex set of criteria: cultivation realm, age, talent, Dao comprehension, and more.
Some might be in the Core Formation realm and land a punch that ranked them 999th. Others might be in the Void Refinement realm and throw a punch that didn’t register on the list at all.
Of course, for the same age range, as long as one’s growth wasn’t forcibly accelerated, the stronger the person, the higher their chances of getting a better rank.
Generations of Heaven’s Chosen had already left their names on the Eternal Ranking. The competition was relentless, a never-ending cycle, to the point where now, if someone’s name broke into the top 100, it would shock all of the First Heaven—and even the Upper Heavens would take serious notice.
So go ahead—compete!
Compete as hard as you can!
Lu Ye passed through the eighth layer and arrived at the ninth.
His goal was clear—the Blood Sea Wugou Stone.
What a joke. Reborn into this life—if he still hesitated, if he still wavered—what would be the point of reincarnation?
Ahead lay the Blood Sea.
It stretched on endlessly, yet it didn’t reek of blood. Instead, it carried a strange, indescribable sweetness.
Perhaps it was because this Blood Sea had been formed from the fresh blood of countless fallen Heaven’s Chosen throughout time, seeping into the sea to create this place.
But that blood couldn’t be used.
Because it contained terrifying obsessions—countless obsessions, growing stronger and stronger with the passage of time.
Ever more intense.
Even Lu Ye had no idea what kind of monster this sea might eventually give birth to.
All he knew was that, even when he’d reached the Heavenly Sovereign realm in his previous life, no living creature had yet emerged from the Blood Sea.
He stepped forward.
His foot landed on the surface of the sea, and he walked across it, heading toward the opposite shore.
He remembered clearly—the Blood Sea Wugou Stone was located near the cliff where the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking stood.
The sky was vast, the sea endless.
The Blood Sea was as calm as a polished mirror.
Lu Ye, dressed in a long robe of deep black, with his dark hair simply tied up, stepped across the surface—each step stirring ripples that bloomed like petals, breathtakingly beautiful.
He looked up.
In the direction of the sunrise, a colossal stone tablet, like a towering mountain, hovered above the Blood Sea.
The stele was a grayish-brown color, the names upon it written as if drawn in cinnabar.
This was not yet the Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking.
The true Eternal Ranking was located at the very top of the stone stele.
A supreme, transcendent aura radiated from that mysterious black section.
Black stone, golden script.
Each name represented an era.
From where Lu Ye stood, he couldn’t make out the names clearly yet, but he had already seen it in his previous life—there was no need to rush to study it again.
In Lu Ye’s eyes, this Eternal Heaven’s Chosen Ranking was a chaotic supreme treasure, naturally born from the condensation of the Dao—a unique creation of heaven and earth.
Anyone who could leave their name upon it would receive the blessing of heaven and the Dao.
It was time.
Lu Ye came to a halt.
His feet merged with the Blood Sea, and his body slowly began to sink, inch by inch.
The surface of the sea returned to stillness.
Not long after—
From the southeast, golden light burst forth. Sacred Buddhist radiance rolled out in waves. A group of monks appeared, truly like gods and buddhas from legend, riding in on auspicious clouds.
From the east, raging demonic energy, laced with killing intent, surged in—harrowing wails echoing nonstop. A single glance at that churning black mist made the scalp tingle, the soul tremble.
From the northeast, monstrous fog spread. One terrifying beast after another emerged within it, their forms grotesque and feral.
...
They were here.
All of them were here!
"Your Highness Tiger, the scent disappeared. I suspect he entered the Blood Sea!"
A cunning-looking rat demon squeaked in a sharp voice.
"Where exactly did the scent disappear?"
"Right here!"
The rat pointed to the exact spot where Lu Ye had vanished.
"Good!"
Husheng pulled out a black magic stone. The surface of the stone was covered in countless tiny holes—like a hunk of coal honeycombed with tunnels.
"Lu Ye's disappearance point has been locked. Proceed as planned. We of the Yao Clan will deploy the Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Formation!"
"Understood!"
"The Buddhist Sect will deploy the Vajra Demon-Slaying Array—"
"Could you people seriously not pick a different name for once?" muttered someone from the demon clan, clearly irritated.
"Amitabha. Begin setting up the Vajra Demon-Slaying Array."
"The Ghost Clan will deploy the Heavenly Ghost Soul-Seizing Formation!"
"Good!"
"The Spirit Clan will deploy the Myriad Spirits Massacre Array!"
"Good!"
"The God Clan, prepare the Divine Aurora Annihilation!"
"Understood!"
All preparations were in place.
One after another, figures began moving, centering their efforts on the location where Lu Ye had disappeared.
From afar, Bai Qiulan and the other two stood watching the scene unfold.
"What are they doing?"
"Setting up formations."
Sun Ruowei looked at Bai Qiulan in disbelief.
"Do you take me for an idiot? I can clearly see they're setting up formations! I meant—why are they doing it?"
