Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1517 - 1515: You’re Actually a Sacred Seed!
Looking at the rapidly approaching blood light, Lu Ye's expression was solemn, with thoughts churning in his mind as he contemplated a strategy to break the enemy.
Relying on the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc might be a way, as there are a few Constellation Late Stage cultivators among the wood spirit and Spore Race, which could fully form a Black Tortoise Array. But even so, can they really stand against a Moon Jade Mid-Stage or Late Stage?
A group of Constellation Late Stage forming an array might be able to contend with a Moon Jade Early Stage, but for Mid-Stage or Late Stage, the difficulty is too great.
Moreover, once the Constellation Late Stage of the wood spirit and Spore Race are drawn out, it may affect the stability of the spore cloud. Currently, the spore cloud can shelter the tribe members below the Constellation of the two races, which is the result of all Constellation working hard together.
If the stability of the spore cloud is lost, it could lead to heavy casualties among the two tribes.
So Lu Ye thought about it briefly and dismissed the idea of borrowing power from the wood spirit and Spore Race. This could only be a last-resort plan.
If that's the case, then he'll have to face the Moon Jade alone.
Fortunately, the opponent is from the Blood Race, against whom he inherently has a tremendous advantage. And he's not entirely alone; Lih Shang can provide significant support.
With a determined thought, he sent an audio transmission to Mu He and Black Umbrella: "Take your people and go first, I'll hold him off for a while!" If he truly couldn't stop him, then he could only join forces with the Spore Race and wood spirit.
Having said this, he advanced proactively, Lih Shang said not a word, and directly rushed into Lu Ye's body with open arms.
Mu He and Black Umbrella didn't have time to intervene before they saw Lu Ye swiftly dart away. With clenched teeth, they fully activated the spore cloud to quickly flee.
Blood Hero saw the spore cloud from afar, with eyes filled with cold murderous intent.
He set off from the home world, first heading to the Blue Jade World, but found it already deserted, leaving only a large number of fallen Blood Race corpses, which saddened him greatly.
Without stopping, he pursued relentlessly, because he had a general idea that the Spore Race and wood spirit would seek refuge with the Reincarnation Tree. So pursuing them was not off course, and after a lengthy chase, he finally caught up with this migrating tribe.
At this moment, seeing a stream of light rushing out of the spore cloud towards him, Blood Hero hastily exerted his Ocular Power to observe. At a glance, he was overjoyed because within that stream of light, he saw the figure that numerous powerful ones of his race deeply yearned for.
The intelligence transmitted by the Life Blood Technique from a dying Constellation of his race was indeed accurate. Lu Yiye of Nine Heavens was indeed here. This trip was not in vain.
The distance between them rapidly closed, and Lu Ye's expression became even more grave, as he gradually realized that the coming Blood Race member was a Moon Jade Late Stage.
Now, this is a big problem!
If it were a Mid-Stage, he might still have a chance to fight, but since the opponent is a Late Stage, Lu Ye truly felt uncertain.
But at this point, there was no room to retreat; he could only brace himself and move forward.
Intense blood light suddenly bloomed from around Blood Hero, transforming into a Blood Cloud. Even though he was dealing with a Constellation Late Stage as a Moon Jade Late Stage, he did not dare to be careless. The matter of Lu Yiye of Nine Heavens was too significant; he had to capture him at the first opportunity and eliminate his chance of escape. Therefore, he activated his Blood Technique to prevent Lu Ye from fleeing if things went awry, otherwise, dealing with a junior much weaker than himself would not have required such an imposing display.
As he aroused the Blood Cloud, dominating momentum spread, and suddenly, his expression froze. He saw an equally intense blood light blooming ahead, also transforming into a Blood Cloud in an instant.
This Lu Yiye... had actually cultivated the Blood Path Secret Technique!
Blood Hero coldly snorted, "Absolutely ridiculous!"
The origin of the Blood Path Secret Technique comes from the Blood Race. The secret techniques of various races nowadays are adaptations of the Blood Race's techniques. Anyone with a modicum of common sense would know never to flaunt the Blood Path Secret Technique in front of the Blood Race; otherwise, it would only bring harm to themselves.
However, Blood Hero had to concede that Lu Yiye's accomplishment in the Blood Path Secret Technique was profound. Just from the scale and volume of that Blood Cloud, even the Constellation Late Stage of the Blood Race pales in comparison.
Perhaps it's not just a matter of attainment; it might also relate significantly to Lu Yiye's own abundant blood Qi.
Not bad indeed. After capturing Lu Yiye, recovering the Sacred Blood, and devouring his Qi and blood, it could be a small supplement, Blood Hero thought to himself.
In the stellar space, two Blood Seas clashed violently without suspense, and Lu Ye's Blood Cloud was instantly overwhelmed.
When boundless bloodlust prevailed, his Blood Sea became fragmented and was devoured into Blood Hero's Blood Sea before it could reform.
Within the Blood Sea, Lu Ye's blood Qi surged around him. He immediately felt the immense gap between himself and the Moon Jade Late Stage. If he considered himself a blade of grass, then the opponent was a towering tree, incomparable in strength or momentum.
Even though it was anticipated, when the outcome unfolded before him, Lu Ye's expression was somewhat helpless.
A chilling sensation rose from the depths of his heart as Lu Ye sensed a brilliant and sharp aura hurtling straight towards him from the front.
He raised a hand to grip the hilt of the Boulder Mountain Saber, his gaze fixed unwaveringly ahead, pouring all his spirit force madly into the blade.
Within the Boulder Mountain Saber, spirit runes rapidly formed and took shape.
Suddenly, the long saber unsheathed, its arc like the moon, striking forward.
The Blood Hero sneered repeatedly, the immense disparity in strength leaving him with no thought of dodging this blade. Without evading, he reached out a hand to grab the blade, intending to let this Lu Yiye experience true despair.
However, in the next instant, his sneer turned to shock because an inexplicable aura of power suddenly erupted from Lu Ye. Under its impact, the blood Qi throughout his body dissipated, and his strength was greatly suppressed.
The incomparably sharp Boulder Mountain Saber struck down as if cleaving through thick leather. Blood spattered, and the Blood Hero cried out, withdrawing his large hand, revealing a gash deep enough to bare bone between his fingers.
Lu Ye closed in, his momentum overbearing and wild, continuously executing the Tyrannical Saber Technique, augmented by Lih Shang's Soul Possession. Nearly every slash was the full explosion of his strength.
The Blood Hero continuously retreated, eyes trembling intensely, staring at Lu Ye in disbelief and exclaimed, "You're a Sacred Seed? You're actually a Sacred Seed?"
Among the Blood Race, only those who refined Sacred Blood are called Sacred Seeds.
The Blood Hero himself was a Sacred Seed, having refined Sacred Blood; otherwise, he could not have achieved his current accomplishments. But he never anticipated that Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens, who had been on the minds of their race for so many years, was also a Sacred Seed, and far surpassed him in saintliness.
Not only surpassing him, but even the Sun Blaze experts of his race had a tremendous gap compared to him. The most intensely saintly Sun Blaze he had seen seemed unworthy even to carry Lu Yiye's shoes.
The Blood Hero found it hard to believe, but experiencing it personally, he had no choice but to believe, for under that intense saintliness suppression, his own Moon Jade Late Stage cultivation could only exert Moon Jade Early Stage strength.
This level of suppression was terrifying. Even the Sun Blaze he had seen couldn't achieve such a degree!
Just speaking, he realized something was wrong. Lu Yiye was evidently a human; how could he be a Sacred Seed? The next inconceivable thought surfaced: "You actually can refine Sacred Blood?"
The saintliness on Lu Yiye wasn't fake. Since he wasn't a Sacred Seed of the Blood Race, it indicated he had means to refine Sacred Blood. But... is this possible?
The Blood Race's Sacred Blood origin is mysterious, even the Blood Race themselves face enormous risks in refining it, nearly a situation of nine deaths for one life. Other races, once contaminated, would surely die, even a Sun Blaze.
Yet now, a human who had refined Sacred Blood stood alive before him, using the suppression of saintliness to bind his hands and feet.
Given this, all the Sacred Blood from those few junior Sacred Seeds who died to Lu Yiye in the Taichu Realm have already been refined by him.
Even before that, Lu Yiye had already refined much Sacred Blood; otherwise, the saintliness couldn't be this terrifying!
The Blood Hero finally understood how those junior Sacred Seeds in the Taichu Realm had died. The Blood Race never figured out how a human had annihilated all those juniors because, under their race's arrangements, those juniors could quickly converge and cooperate to resist enemies in the Taichu Realm. The Divine Sea cultivators involved in the struggle were utterly powerless to contend. Using this method, the Blood Race could always claim some victory slots in the Taichu Realm.
But if relying on saintliness suppression, those juniors indeed couldn't resist, and grouping together made it even easier for them to be wiped out.
Understanding this, the shock in the Blood Hero's eyes gradually transformed into fervor.
Because he saw in Lu Yiye the possibility of refining vast amounts of Sacred Blood. The Blood Race's process of refining Sacred Blood was perilous, unrelated to cultivation level. Even as a Moon Jade Late Stage, he couldn't refine too much Sacred Blood, with each refining being a life-and-death ordeal.
Something the Blood Race struggled to achieve, a human managed to accomplish. The Blood Hero greatly desired to understand how Lu Ye succeeded. Judging by the saintliness on Lu Yiye, he had refined at least dozens of drops, maybe more...
Thus, if he could capture him, the Blood Hero could have a chance to uncover this secret to enhance his own saintliness. Sun Blaze… would be just around the corner!
While myriad thoughts churned in his mind, Lu Ye's saber momentum continued incessantly, driving him back step by step.
It's not that the Blood Hero was weaker at the moment, but that he was contemplating how to capture Lu Ye alive.
Under saintliness suppression, Lu Ye could clearly feel his opponent could only exert Moon Jade Early Stage cultivation. This brought him great peace of mind. A Moon Jade Early Stage, even if no match, wouldn't lead to a dire situation.
If worse comes to worst, he could use the red talisman to resolve him, but the red talisman was Lu Ye's final trump card. He was reluctant to use it unless absolutely necessary.
During the exchange, boundless saber light enveloped the Blood Hero, but Lu Ye's mood bit by bit grew heavier because, apart from the initial strike that injured the Blood Hero, the remaining assaults had little effect.
Lu Ye suddenly realized he had oversimplified things.
