Chapter 1897: I Became the Villain

e distinctly felt a mysterious force surging from some direction. It was as if in that moment, his physical cultivation had been replaced by something else entirely.Stand-in puppet!Xiao Wai has taken...Inside the cave dwelling, Lu Ye clutched the Asura Order and checked his ranking on the Battleground.

7th place, Lu Ye, Jiutian Realm, 232 wins and 0 losses.

Among the top ten challenges, the rules only allow for sequential challenges. This means that Lu Ye can only challenge the opponent currently ranked sixth.

Unless this opponent is no longer in the Heavenly Asura Realm, then Lu Ye could jump over him to challenge the fifth-ranked.

After a short break to catch their breath, Lu Ye continues the challenge.

Lu Ye had encountered this kind of situation many times, so he was naturally no stranger to it. He felt a little regret in his heart because in this way, he would miss an opportunity to confront the top-tier Yue Yao.

Let's redefine our target and aim for fifth place.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Still unsuccessful, Lu Ye didn't mind and challenged the fourth, third, second... and first place.

Moments later, Lu Ye furrowed his brow and fell into thought.

It seems that the people ahead of me are all very busy. They are not in the Asura Realm now, probably participating in some kind of training.

This left him somewhat unsatisfied. His ambition to reach the top spot was thus dashed.

>>"That cultivator, please come to the Treasure Vault Plaza, I'll exchange the Asura Seal I gave you for the resources you need."

This is one of the reasons why he came to the Asura field. Only by earning enough Asura marks can he go to the treasure vault and exchange for the resources he needs.

Having left his own cave, Lu Ye sprang into the air and darted towards the outside.

Looking in all directions, he could clearly see that there were quite a few cultivators nearby also flying upwards. It was just like the scene he saw when he first entered the Tianxiu Luo Realm with Gui Yi. These cultivators were obviously going to participate in the training as well.

Suddenly, Lu Ye's figure shot upwards, soaring until in an instant, he felt his entire body slam against a soft, invisible membrane.

His vision suddenly became dark, and even his powerful senses vanished without a trace in that instant.

He showed no signs of panic, though this was his first time participating in a trial. He had done enough research on this aspect and naturally knew that this was a process every cultivator had to go through.

His state was strange now. He knew he still existed, but he couldn't feel it, as if he had become a single thought existing in isolation.

In the depths of darkness, an ancient and desolate voice echoed in my ears.

The Black Cloud Continent was profound, vast in territory, abundant in resources, and a birthplace of numerous talented cultivators. It flourished until one day, a cultivator brought back a treasure from the stars.

Suddenly, a light burst forth in the darkness. Immediately following it, an object appeared before Lu Ye's eyes. It was a sphere about the size of a human head, entirely green in color. There wasn't much to see at first glance, but Lu Ye knew this must be the treasure mentioned by that desolate voice.

The light faded, and vision returned to darkness.

The message leaked, causing countless powerful individuals to swarm in and vie for it. A great battle ensued, shattering the black clouds, with surviving cultivators escorting the heir of the Black Cloud Sect to flee into the starry expanse, seeking refuge in a nearby star system.

Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself that this training session should be related to escorting this so-called disciple of the Hei Yun Sect. As long as he persisted until this tattered fleet escaped to a neighboring system, it should count as completing the trial.

This isn't difficult at all.

According to the information he currently has, the difficulty for cultivators to enter the Asura Field and participate in training for the first time will not be too great. It is basically within the scope of the cultivator's own abilities. This can be considered a benefit given by the Asura Field to cultivators, allowing them to personally understand the process of training.

But except for the first trial, there wouldn't be such good fortune afterwards. Basically, every time a cultivator undergoes a trial, there is a risk of losing their life, because only then can it truly serve its purpose.

When thoughts shifted, that ancient and desolate voice rang out again: “You, the leader of the Nine Heavens Star Pirates, leading your own band of pirates, uniting with other pirate groups, are determined to seize that treasure on the pursuit path, driving the Black Cloud Cultivators to extermination!”

Lu Ye couldn't help but be startled.

Just hearing the voice ahead, he thought that this time his training was to protect the heir of Black Cloud Sect and a treasure similar to a ball, then escort them to the neighboring star system. Even if the training mission was completed, after all, since his cultivation, he has always been kind to others, protecting the weak, and he felt obligated to do so.

I never expected that this time, he would be the villain!

Lu Ye couldn't help but frown. His actions were finally at odds with his own beliefs, but this was the training of a Shura Field. No one knew what kind of identity the Shura Field would give them before entering, or what kind of tempering it would bestow upon them.

Moreover, the Heavenly Asura Clan itself is not a benevolent race. Otherwise, it wouldn't enslave so many star systems. These trials were originally prepared for the Heavenly Asura Clan, and doing good or evil makes no difference to them.e was actually a Moon Yao mid-stage cultivator.This bad luck...is it my own bad luck, or the bad luck of these two uninvited guests I'm really not sure.A resounding clang echoed as the long blade was...
