Sage of Humanity-Chapter 721 - 719: The Big Array Shows Its Power

The Soaring Dragon World was not as vast as the Nine Provinces, but it still hosted a considerable number of powers, both large and small.

This time, nine hundred eighty-four clans participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Sky Ravine Sect, led by the Three Great Overlord Sects, gathering tens of thousands of cultivators.

However, the battle below Sky Ravine resulted in more than half of them wounded or dead. Those still alive were fleeing in panic, like dogs that had lost their homes.

The powerful members of the Blood Race, along with the remnants of the Sky Ravine Sect who had joined the Blood Race, were relentlessly pursuing from behind. freewebnσvel.cѳm

In Lu Ye's field of vision, multicolored lights rapidly streaked towards Medicine Valley.

In a moment, they were upon him.

"Is that Young Friend Ye Liu up ahead?" shouted a man leading the group, dressed in a long robe and wearing a scholar's headscarf, who at first glance appeared quite scholarly.

It was Yuen Changcun, the current Dean of the Haoran Academy.

He had already learned about the situation at Medicine Valley from Huang Liang, and naturally knew of Lu Ye's existence, and also that the survival of the Allied Forces depended on Lu Ye's power.

He had come forward to ensure proper communication with Lu Ye.

"Indeed!" Lu Ye replied.

During the conversation, Yuen Changcun had already reached Lu Ye, sizing him up and down. Noticing Lu Ye's calm demeanor, as if not even a mountain crumbling before him would change his expression, he secretly admired him and thought, indeed, heroes were often young.

He had heard of Tyrannical Saber Villa, and Ye Ying's Tyrannical Saber Technique was fairly famous throughout the Soaring Dragon World. However, he hadn't expected Ye Ying's sixth son to be so capable.

From information exchanged with Huang Liang, he regarded this young man highly, almost seeing him as a savior.

Whether he was a savior or not, Yuen Changcun had no time to care at that moment. Surviving the day was the only qualification to discuss future matters.

"From now on, we will need Young Friend's help!" Yuen Changcun said to Lu Ye with a slight nod.

"Let them enter the valley!"

Yuen Changcun immediately turned around and shouted, "Quick, into the valley!"

As his words fell, batches of people streaked past the two, over their heads, rushing into Medicine Valley and blending into the vivid colors within.

Most cultivators were unaware of the mysteries within Medicine Valley. Having witnessed the supernatural transformation under Sky Ravine and seen the Blood Race's strangeness and strength, they were all uneasy. Even entering Medicine Valley did not provide them much sense of security.

Yet all the cultivators had received word that there was a miraculous Great Array shrouding Medicine Valley, their last hope. Whether they could escape their plight would depend on the ensuing battle.

"Young Friend, go prepare. I will cover our retreat!" Yuen Changcun said, holding his longsword.

Lu Ye nodded and turned to retreat deeper into the valley.

During the chase, many cultivators were relentlessly pursued and killed by the Blood Race and Sky Ravine Sect remnants, leaving a trail of bodies and spilled blood.

Fortunately, with the large numbers of the Allied Forces, although the Blood Race was formidable, exterminating them completely was not so easy.

After a short time, all the Soaring Dragon cultivators who had fled here had entered the valley, and the pursuing Blood Race and remnants of the Sky Ravine Sect also broke in in large numbers.

Suddenly, the once tranquil valley echoing with birds and fragrances erupted into combat.

Only after all the Blood Race had stormed in did Lu Ye activate his spirit force, channeling it into the Great Array Jade Cluster in his hand.

Suddenly, the valley was enveloped in swirling clouds, a thick sea of mist formed out of thin air, sealing the valley tightly.

"There's a Formation!" It was only then that the Blood Race realized, and an exclamation rang out.

Many from the Blood Race instinctively rose into the air, attempting to escape the area covered by the Formation.

But they had only flown a few feet when it felt as if a mountain was pressing down from above, preventing them from flying any higher.

"A Great Sky Prohibition Array!" The Blood Race who had charged in ferociously were finally shaken, having never expected such a thing in a place like the Soaring Dragon World.

The fog veiled them, making it impossible to discern directions. With illusions abounding and unable to fly, they became the trapped ones!

As the Array shifted, the Soaring Dragon cultivators were also somewhat at a loss, as their enemies suddenly disappeared into the thick fog, leaving no trace.

The scenery all around them vanished as well, and the noises of fighting nearby also faded into silence, as if they were the only ones left in the world...

In the midst of the fog, Lou Yichuan panted heavily. In the recent battle, many of his brothers had died, and though he was relatively fortunate to have escaped death, he was also injured. After battling a member of the Blood Race, he had almost died by his opponent's hand.

The Soaring Dragon World had never dealt with the Blood Race before, so they were completely unaware of their tactics. Their defeat under Sky Ravine was partly due to this.

The Blood Race's various secret techniques were extremely tricky, and their blood Qi was highly corrosive. Whether it was the spirit of a Spiritual Artifact or protective spirit force, that blood Qi could corrode it all, causing many Soaring Dragon cultivators to suffer losses in their encounters with the Blood Race.

As the fog swirled, the enemy suddenly disappeared from sight, and everything around vanished, leaving only a dense sea of mist floating unstably by their sides.

Lou Yichuan heaved heavily, feeling somewhat at a loss when suddenly, a pathway about three feet wide opened up as the fog before him surged to both sides.

This pathway was only several meters long. At its end, the figure of a Blood Race member, as red as blood, spun in place like a headless fly.

It was the Blood Race member who had almost killed him!

Lou Yichuan's heart clenched, and he almost instinctively wanted to flee, but he quickly realized something was off about this Blood Race member's condition.

He had already discovered him, so logically, the other should have noticed him as well.

However, it seemed as though the Blood Race member was under some influence, completely unaware of his presence just a few meters behind.

Someone was secretly helping him!

Lou Yichuan immediately realized that such maneuvers could only be executed by the master of the Great Array.

He gripped the Spiritual Artifact in his hand and silently approached the Blood Race member. When he got close, his spirit force burst forth violently and he brutally attacked the unsuspecting Blood Race member.

"Die!"

It was only when Lou Yichuan made his sudden move and the sharpness of his Qi came bearing down did the Blood Race member react; but by then, it was too late. As Lou Yichuan swung his Spiritual Artifact, the protective blood aspect on the surface of the Blood Race member violently trembled. The powerful force made the Blood Race member vomit blood repeatedly, severely weakening his vitality.

Originally, Lou Yichuan was no match for this Blood Race member, but now that his opponent was grievously injured, the situation quickly turned around.

Fueled by a surge of anger, Lou Yichuan used everything he had learned to overpower the Blood Race member, who had no strength to fight back, and promptly killed him.

In another part of the mountain valley shrouded in fog, Pu Hui was relentlessly battling another Blood Race member. Monks from the Vajra Temple indeed possessed robust physiques and vibrant blood Qi, but such advantages hardly played any role against the Blood Race.

The physical strength of the Blood Race was not remarkable, but their blood Qi energy was insidious and intensely corrosive. The once resilient body of Pu Hui showed signs of severe corrosion, even breaking through his protective golden aspect.

Pu Hui was formidable, but so was this Blood Race opponent. Without any accidents, Pu Hui was likely not his match.

In fact, had it not been for Pu Hui intermittently employing the sound of Zen chanting to unsettle the enemy's mind, he would probably have died already.

While the two figures struggled in combat, suddenly, a dull peal of thunder exploded above, and a lightning bolt as thick as a baby's arm descended from the sky, striking the Blood Race member on the top of his head by sheer coincidence.

The formidable Blood Race member instantly trembled uncontrollably, his body covered in creeping lightning serpents, and his vitality noticeably weakened.

"Perfect opportunity!" Pu Hui's eyes lit up.

He stepped forward and threw a fierce punch at the Blood Race member who appeared immobilized.

The punch, powerful enough to split gold and break stones, landed heavily on the Blood Race member's chest. Visibly, the chest caved in, the clothes on the back burst open, revealing a round hole, and the position of the back heart protruded momentarily.

"Wow!" the Blood Race member vomited blood, and the blood mist he spat out, seemingly sentient, enveloped Pu Hui.

Having suffered from this before, Pu Hui was prepared; a shake of his spirit force dispersed the blood mist. He followed with three more punches, directly killing the Blood Race member on the spot.

Throughout the mountain valley, experiences like those of Lou Yichuan and Pu Hui were common.

The Great Array in Medicine Valley could be said to be the strongest measure Lu Ye had employed since he began his cultivation. Previously, when the Sky Ravine Sect chasers reached this place, they were trapped in the Great Array, and he alone killed several Level 9 elders, which left Huang Liang somewhat incredulous.

But at that time, Lu Ye could not fully activate the power of this place's Great Array because there was no one to coordinate with him.

To truly utilize the power of this location's Great Array should be like now.

He hid in the dark, controlled the might of the Great Array, and cooperated with other cultivators entering the array to eliminate the enemies.

However, this consumed a tremendous amount of mental power because there were too many cultivators entering the valley's Great Array, along with those Blood Race members chasing them. Over tens of thousands of beings were fighting inside Medicine Valley.

Even if his mental power was incredibly strong, he couldn't oversee every location but only tried to work with the cultivators from the Soaring Dragon World to save many who would otherwise have died, helping those who were losing to turn defeat into victory and gradually shift the situation.

The strength of the mental power is directly related to the power of the psyche. Lu Ye's psyche was strong hence his mental power was also strong.

As time passed and his mental power continued to be depleted, when Lu Ye felt fatigue, he would decisively take out soul water to consume, replenishing himself.

Yiyi and Amber moved through the Great Array under his direction, accurately locating severely injured cultivators from the Soaring Dragon World on the brink of death and transporting them to Little Miracle Healer for treatment.

This, indeed, saved many lives.

However, there was only one Little Miracle Healer, and while the few attendants under her were also exceptional healing cultivators, their ability to make a significant impact was severely limited under these circumstances.

More cultivators perished from severe injuries throughout Medicine Valley, which was fraught with a blood-soaked, body-littered landscape.

This was no longer merely a battle between cultivators; it was a confrontation between two worlds, a war!

Facing the fierce invasion of the Blood Race, the Soaring Dragon World could neither retreat nor afford to retreat.
