saint of humanity

Back in the Origin Realm, Lu Ye had learned from the Lord of Changyun Island that the Heavenly Weaving Needle was specifically designed to break through protective Dao power. Seeing it today, he could confirm that it lived up to its reputation.

After a period of arduous training within the Tower of Time, his strength has greatly increased. In terms of his own foundation alone, with a power of over 13,000 Dao, he is bound to surpass Zhifei.

Even so, if I hadn't reacted quickly enough, I would have almost had my defenses broken through by the Heavenly Needle.

If this Feather Clan Half-Saint were to attack with another supreme treasure, Lu Ye, with his current strength, could easily confront it head-on. But the Heavenly Weaving Needle is different; this supreme treasure, in Zhi Fei's hands, truly has the ability to threaten his life.

This demonstrates the divine power of this treasure.

As soon as Zhifei made her attack, she followed closely behind, her expression cold and fierce, clearly intending to kill them all.

However, upon seeing that Lu Ye was completely unharmed, his expression changed drastically: "How is this possible?"

She had wielded the Heavenly Needle for many years and had once severely injured a half-saint of another race with this treasure. In terms of strength, that half-saint was slightly stronger than her, but under the divine power of the Heavenly Needle, he still fled in a sorry state.

Lu Ye managed to block the attack using only his protective Dao power. There is only one explanation for this: the difference in strength between the two sides is enough to negate the advantage brought by the destructive power of the Heavenly Needle.

It's unbelievable how beautiful the crimson weave is.

Because in her perception, Lu Ye did not have the aura of a half-saint. He was just an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator. But if he was not a half-saint, how could he block the Heavenly Needle with his own strength?
She couldn't figure it out for a moment, nor did she have time to think about it deeply, because the instant she neutralized her attack, Lu Ye's figure blurred and suddenly disappeared from the spot. The next instant, Zhi Fei felt a terrifying killing intent coming from the side.

She turned her head and saw that Lu Ye had somehow already charged close to her, his straight, jet-black longsword carrying a sharp aura, slashing diagonally towards her.

Zhi Fei's pupils shrank suddenly, and her wings flapped behind her back, instantly transforming into an afterimage that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. At the same time, her power surged wildly, and a barrier appeared beside her in an instant.

Every winged creature strives to hone their wings during their growth. For them, these wings are not merely beautiful decorations, but also powerful weapons for killing enemies and protecting themselves.

The Crimson Weaver, a half-saint, possesses wings that have been tempered over countless years. When resilient, they can be as soft as feathers, and when firm, they are as stable as a rock. With the addition of her own Dao power, she is almost equivalent to a protective elemental treasure.

The blade slashed down, unleashing a torrent of violent power.

Zhifei's expression changed, and she flew away like a kite, her eyes filled with even more shock.

She finally understood why Lu Ye was able to block her attack with the Heavenly Needle earlier; it was because this guy was indeed stronger than her!

Since we didn't have direct contact, it's difficult to be certain.

Having taken a hit from the opponent, Zhifei had a very clear and intuitive judgment.

How could this be?
She is a half-saint, and her cultivation has been accumulated over countless years. She has a strong foundation. How could Lu Ye, who is only at the Dao Integration stage, be stronger than her?

What terrified her even more was the sharp aura emanating from that slash. Its sharpness seemed capable of cutting through all obstacles of time, and her wings, which she had tempered for countless years, were finding it difficult to withstand the opponent's longsword.

Zhifei clearly felt that the place where she had just been slashed was injured, but because her wings had no flesh and blood, no blood flowed out.

Many thoughts were changing in his mind, and before he could stop moving, a presence was already rapidly approaching.

However, it was Fuwei who came to provide support.

Fu Wei was covered in a cold sweat.

When Zhi Fei abandoned him to go to meet Lu Ye, he quickly chased after her, afraid that Lu Ye might be caught off guard and suffer from Zhi Tianzhen's attack.

Seeing Zhi Fei unleash the power of the Heavenly Needle, Fu Wei's heart leaped into his throat.

Fortunately, Lu Ye lived up to his reputation; he was able to block such an attack and even caught Zhi Fei off guard.

Thus, his hasty support turned into a sneak attack in an instant.

Seeing Zhifei's body uncontrollably hurtling towards him, Fuwei was filled with rage. He picked up the giant tortoise shell and smashed it down, yelling, "Eat your grandpa... Waaah..."

The attack missed its mark, as Zhifei had already regained her footing. With a flap of her wings, she sent Fuwei flying like a fan.

She looked terrified, for as she looked up, Lu Ye appeared like a ghost, charging towards her.

Zhifei hastily retreated, her wings spreading out to their fullest extent. From between those wings, countless rays of mysterious light shot out, enveloping Lu Ye.

Such an offensive can only be described as ferocious.

Lu Ye remained unmoved. He simply held his long sword, his eyes lowered, his figure darting left and right, his long sword constantly twirling to block attacks that he couldn't avoid, quickly closing the distance between himself and Zhi Fei.

This posture, compared to the day when he joined forces with Xue Jiu to fight Xue Yuan, was infinitely more relaxed and carefree.

His significant improvement in strength has given him the ability to confront a semi-saint like Zhi Fei head-on.

Zhi Fei was filled with fear and unease. Seeing Lu Ye getting closer and closer to her, she finally couldn't hold back and activated the Heavenly Needle again.

The power of the treasure was mixed in with many mysterious lights, making it really difficult to distinguish. By the time Lu Ye sensed it, it was too late to avoid it, and he could only neutralize the power as before.

However, this inevitably widens the distance between the two sides.

"Senior brother, I'm here to help you!" Fu Wei shouted, his figure flashing to Lu Ye's side.

He finally learned his lesson and realized that he was no match for Zhi Fei on his own, and even if he could only restrain her, the effect would be minimal. Therefore, the best solution was to join forces with Lu Ye.

With the power of the Bu Clan's treasure, it can completely suppress the Heavenly Needle, thus allowing Lu Ye to act without any further concerns.

He raised his hand and held the tortoise shell upright in front of him. Without saying much, the bond of fate made Lu Ye and him almost in sync. The two figures quickly approached Zhi Fei without stopping along the way, and remained unmoved no matter how Zhi Fei bombarded them with her methods.

The scarlet shimmer finally changed color.

She didn't take Fu Wei seriously. Although his shell was hard, his strength was inferior to hers, so he was unlikely to pose a threat.

Lu Ye alone could cause her a lot of trouble, but she was not without means to protect herself. At the very least, the power of the Heavenly Needle was not something Lu Ye could ignore.

The fact that these two have joined forces has made the situation delicate.

Zhifei suddenly realized that her situation seemed a bit dangerous.

How did the situation develop into this?

Everything was fine at first. The traitor Xue Jiu and Si Shengyuan were restrained by Ming Feng and Mo Duo, and I had the blessing of the Yu-level Dao Integration Pearl, plus the power of the Weaving Heaven Needle. I should have been able to break through this Dao Integration City in front of me.

But now he found himself in grave danger, especially with that human Lu Ye, whose longsword was sharper than ever before. If Lu Ye got close and slashed him a few more times, wouldn't his life be in danger? (End of Chapter)
