saint of humanity

Upon seeing it, Jin Yao's expression changed drastically.

Before being summoned by Lu Ye, she had been on the talent tree and was unaware of the current situation. She never expected that as soon as she appeared, she would see Lu Ye suffer such a misfortune.

Although she didn't know what the fishhook was, the rich aura of a priceless treasure emanating from it was undeniable.

He immediately realized that this was probably a supreme treasure targeting the soul.

Not daring to be negligent, she immediately activated the power of the Soul-Suppressing Bell. With a jingling sound, Jin Yao raised her hand and pointed towards Lu Ye.

In an instant, Lu Ye's soul body was enveloped in a layer of mysterious light, as if he were wearing a black robe.

The pulling force suddenly stopped, and the fishing line of the gold thread tightened abruptly.

Lu Ye's face showed extreme pain, and he almost screamed out loud.

The power of the two supreme treasures was vying for his soul; one wanted to lure him out, while the other wanted to keep him. It was as if two different forces were tearing his soul apart.

The pain is unimaginable.

If his soul body hadn't been relatively resilient, an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator would probably have had their soul body shattered by now.

Even so, Lu Ye could still feel that his soul was damaged.

The good news is that the situation has improved.

Before Jin Yao appeared, he was completely powerless against Lu Sheng's might, but now he had the means to resist.

He suppressed the soul-devouring pain and exerted all his strength to activate his divine soul power, but even so, he could not completely resist Lu Sheng's methods.

The most direct manifestation of this is that his soul is still slowly leaving the sea of ​​souls.

Jin Yao's expression was solemn.

Previously, Lu Ye had repeatedly encountered crises in his soul, and she could easily resolve them whenever she took action. Firstly, she was the spirit of the Soul-Suppressing Bell, and as long as she had enough power to support her, she could unleash the full power of this treasure. Secondly, since Lu Ye refined the Soul-Suppressing Bell, its power had been enhanced several times, and it was no longer comparable to what it used to be.

But this time it's a bit difficult.

The fact that the powerful figure who attacked Lu Ye gave her a sense of awe and reverence undoubtedly indicated that the enemy's strength far surpassed her own.

Could he be the so-called true saint?

Although Jin Yao had never seen any True Saints, she had followed Lu Ye for so long that she was naturally not completely ignorant about the things in the Origin Realm.

With this thought in mind, Jin Yao also became serious. She turned around and plunged into the Soul-Suppressing Bell. With the spirit and the bell united, she transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards Lu Ye.

The next instant, a bell appeared around Lu Ye's neck. It was the Soul-Suppressing Bell. As the bell jingled, layers of visible light rippled outwards, resisting the dragging force from above.

Lu Ye's eyes widened in fury as he frantically channeled the power of his soul sea, instantly unleashing a torrent of surging waves within it.

It seemed like only a moment, yet it also seemed like several moments had passed. Lu Ye suddenly felt that the fishhook that had pierced his soul was showing signs of coming off.

The thought had barely formed when the golden fishing line and the straight hook suddenly vanished.

At the same time, a hurried shout came faintly from beside him: "Lu Ye, be careful!"

The battles within the Soul Sea are unknown to anyone; though brief, they are extremely dangerous. The battlefields outside the Soul Sea are equally intense.

As Lu Sheng appeared and cast his fishing rod toward Lu Ye, the Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord realized something was wrong.

They had heard Lu Ye mention similar situations before, so they immediately realized that Lu Ye had been targeted by the True Saint again, and how could being targeted by the True Saint possibly end well?

Therefore, these two people did not hesitate at all, and turned around to attack in the direction where Lu Sheng was.

While the dragon and phoenix forms are highly effective for siege warfare, they are somewhat unsuitable for fighting against powerful opponents. Therefore, as they changed direction, they retracted their true forms and transformed into human shapes.

However, while those two were fast, someone else was even faster.

Si Sheng appeared beside Lu Sheng in the blink of an eye, his Shattering Sky Blade carrying a burst of blazing fire as it slashed straight at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng seemed to have no reaction whatsoever to this attack.

The blade struck Lu Sheng without any resistance!

Lu Sheng, who resembled a fisherman, trembled slightly...

But that's all...

Si Shengya's eyelids suddenly narrowed.

He had never truly fought against a True Saint. In fact, even though he had lived in the Origin Realm for many years, he had never seen many True Saints.

He knew that the True Saint's strength was unfathomable, but knowing it was one thing, it was only today that he truly experienced the True Saint's power.

Among all the Origin Realm Half-Saints, if the deceased Blood Abyss's strength could be ranked in the top five, then he would at least be in the top three. Even at the Half-Saint level, he was a powerhouse among powerhouses. Yet, even so, the Lu Saint in front of him could withstand a blow from him without suffering any damage.

This undoubtedly shows that Lu Sheng's protective power is not something he can easily shake.

Unbelievable, unbelievable...

This is only Lu Sheng. If, according to his speculation, the higher the rank, the stronger the power, then how strong would the First Saint to the Fifth Saint be?
Despite some distracting thoughts, Si Shenghua's hands moved without any pause or hesitation, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.

Although Lu Sheng was strong, he seemed to be focusing all his attention on Lu Ye and was completely unguarded against him. Naturally, he wouldn't hold back. If one strike couldn't break through Lu Sheng's protective Dao power, then two, three strikes would do the trick...

He'll eventually break through!
Just as Si Shengya was about to unleash his second strike, the puppet demigod suddenly drew his spear, and in an instant, the spear shadows cascaded down upon him.

Si Shenghua frowned, but ignored it.

A figure suddenly appeared beside her, blocking all the attacks from the puppet half-saint. It was none other than the Phoenix Lord who had rushed over.

Phoenix Lord is proficient in the art of space, and with his ability to teleport through the void, he can arrive faster than Dragon Lord.

The gunfire rained down like a waterfall, and the Phoenix Lord's body trembled violently, yet she was completely unharmed.

There's no other reason than that the Phoenix Queen possesses a protective treasure called the Seven-Colored Feather Robe, a treasure passed down through generations of the Phoenix Clan. It is extremely durable and she wears it on her daily life. With this treasure, she can naturally be protected from harm.

Dragon Lord arrived a step too late and with a fierce strike sent the puppet half-saint flying.

This instantaneous exchange left Xue Jiu dumbfounded, secretly marveling at the boundless courage of Si Shengya and Long Zun Feng Zhu, knowing that the other side was a true saint.

These three charged forward without even flinching? How incredibly reckless must they be?

Anyway, there's no way he would fight a true saint. First, he doesn't have the guts, and second, their relationship isn't that close yet.

In this situation, everyone was busy competing and vying for attention, leaving him the only one with nothing to do, which made him seem somewhat out of place.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Ye standing frozen in place, his eyes flashing, and he shouted, "Lu Ye, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you!"

He transformed into a streak of blood-red light and charged towards Lu Ye.

However, he had only gotten a short distance away from Lu Ye when Lu Ye suddenly groaned, his dazed eyes regaining their clarity, revealing a lingering fear in them.

At the same time, an extremely powerful True Saint aura emanated from Lu Sheng's direction, and Si Shengya, who was relentlessly attacking Lu Sheng, immediately warned, "Lu Ye, be careful!"

Xue Jiu, taking a moment to glance back amidst his busy schedule, was instantly terrified.

Lu Sheng suddenly swung his fishing rod again, just like before, but this time, no fishing line was cast out; instead, a stick shadow shot out from the fishing rod.

This attack may seem unremarkable, but all the semi-saints present felt the terrifying power it possessed.

Si Sheng, who was closest to Lu Sheng, was the first to be swept away. Then came Feng Zhu, who was fighting against the puppet half-saint. After that came Long Zun, who had just arrived in front of Lu Sheng and had not yet made any move!

Even the puppet demigod was swept away.

Lu Sheng was suddenly surrounded by empty space.

The four demigods were swept away, but they were not the targets; they were merely caught in the crossfire.

Lu Sheng's attack was aimed at Lu Ye, who had just woken up.

Blood curse, utterly terrible luck!
He rushed to Lu Ye's side, pretending to be idle, only to find himself facing a life-or-death crisis in the next instant.

Because he was standing right in front of Lu Ye at that moment.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xue Jiu let out a fierce shout and exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

The shadow of the staff passed through the blood mist and struck Lu Ye directly.

Even though Lu Ye activated his protective Dao power with all his might, he was still stunned by the blow, feeling as if many of his Dao bones had shifted and his internal organs were churning.

As its body flew out like a kite, it coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The first thought that came to mind was that the True Saint's strength had become even greater!
After a brief silence, Lu Ye finally regained his footing thousands of miles away.

Upon stopping and looking up, Lu Sheng had vanished, clearly dragged back by the restrictions of the Origin Realm, just like the previous times.

Before the Origin Realm is fully integrated, the restriction is unbreakable, and the True Saints cannot stay in the Star Abyss for long.

Therefore, every time the True Saint appears, he comes and goes in a hurry.

However, compared to before, Lu Sheng's stay in the Origin Realm this time was undoubtedly longer, and the difference was quite significant. This was undoubtedly due to the Origin Realm's continuous fusion.

Judging from this scenario, as time goes by, the True Saints will be able to stay in the Star Abyss for longer and longer periods of time until the Origin Realm is completely integrated, at which point they will be able to roam the Star Abyss without restraint.

Another point is that Lu Ye had previously secluded himself in the Tower of Time, and his strength had not only increased dramatically but also significantly. However, he was still severely injured after taking a blow from Lu Sheng.

This experience was no different from before.

That's why Lu Ye felt that the True Saints were stronger. If it were the same as the ones he had encountered before, he was even confident that he could withstand them or only pay a small price.

This is undoubtedly related to the fusion of the Origin Realm. It's not that the True Saints' strength has increased; their strength has remained constant. Rather, as time goes by and the Origin Realm merges, the True Saints can unleash more and more power in the Star Abyss.

Many thoughts raced through his mind. Outside Thousand Streams City, Xue Jiu was also vomiting blood, looking utterly miserable. (End of Chapter)
