saint of humanity

Throughout the endless years, no matter how the outside world changes, Phoenix Nest has always had a place among the ten great Dao-harmonizing cities of the Inner Realm, and like Dragon City, it is always among the top.

Let alone the top ten, even the most ordinary He Dao City has its own defense system, unless it is as special as Yi Fu City.

Because the Phoenix Clan has a small population and is located in a natural barrier area, they have never paid much attention to defense.

But not paying attention doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Phoenix Nest has its own protective system, which is currently in use, with numerous cultivators who evacuated from Dragon City stationed inside.

Outside the Phoenix Nest, the Primordial Wutong Tree has even more secret arrangements.

It is a treasure left in the universe by the ancestors of the dragon and phoenix, and it has an innate vigilance and keen awareness of potential future crises.

What Lu Ye is currently activating is the hidden power that the Primordial Wutong has placed in those many spatial rifts. The Dao of Space is its innate power, so it can naturally achieve this level through Lu Ye's efforts.

When the four directions of space shatter, the four poles collapse, and the universe is turned upside down and thrown into chaos.

Amidst gasps of alarm, thousands of cultivators tried their best to escape, but to no avail.

A surging, turbulent void current erupted from the omnipresent crack, sweeping across the area like a colossal wave. Those who had reached the Dao Integration Realm were caught in its current and were helplessly engulfed, disappearing without a trace.

A few lucky ones didn't last long either. Perhaps they only felt a blur before their eyes, and their companions disappeared without a trace, leaving them in a state of confusion and emptiness.

The demigods held out longer. Whether it was the demigods who came from the Origin Realm, such as Xue Wei, or the puppet demigods, they all took action as soon as they sensed something was wrong. However, no matter what they did, they could not withstand the danger of the space breaking apart.

From Lu Ye's perspective, with the explosion of the shattered space around him, the figures of the thousands of cultivators in his field of vision disappeared in just ten breaths.

Even he himself was swept up by the chaotic void currents, feeling dizzy and disoriented. However, because he had cultivated the Dao of Space, he was able to hold on for longer than others.

The void was shattered and chaotic, and this state lasted for a long time before it slowly calmed down. However, this shattered void never returned to its original state, but remained in a chaotic state.

The thousands of cultivators who were originally here, including Lu Ye, have all disappeared without a trace.

Amidst the chaos, Lu Ye lunged forward, surrounded by spatial power, and activated his Dao power to create a protective barrier.

Before being swallowed into the void rift, he had confirmed that his enemies, like himself, had not escaped unscathed, which undoubtedly demonstrated the perfect success of the plan.

Although Phoenix Nest is prepared for the upcoming great battle and many defenses have been activated, if the problems faced by the Dragon Clan Half-Saints are not resolved, Phoenix Nest will ultimately become a repeat of the Battle of Dragon City.

To date, Lu Ye has been unable to figure out how to solve the problem of the Dragon Clan's Half-Saints, because that was a method used by Yuan, which also relied on Yang Qing's dragon blood.

Unless he can rescue Yang Qing from Yuan's clutches, this targeting is unsolvable.

But if he truly has the means to rescue Yang Qing, then he can disregard all these enemies.

But it's not a good idea to gamble, because if you fail, it could cost the lives of many dragon race demigods.

Therefore, the Phoenix Nest battle is best avoided if possible.

Lu Ye's original plan was to go it alone and fight his way through, minimizing the pressure he would face.

His strength has improved, which his enemies certainly didn't expect. So if things go well, there might be a chance to eliminate some of his enemies ahead of time, thereby reducing future pressure.

However, Taichu Wutong offered a better suggestion: to take advantage of the methods it had secretly laid out over the years.

Now that the void has shattered and the enemies have been swallowed into the void rifts and scattered in all directions, Lu Ye no longer has to face the siege of too many enemies at once. In other words, he now has the opportunity to hunt them down alone!
This is undoubtedly the best possible outcome for him.

With his current strength, he will be in no danger unless he encounters Xue Wei or Xing Zhou. In fact, even if he does encounter Xue Wei, he can put up a fight against her!
Within this void crevice, turbulent currents abound, appearing and disappearing without a trace. They are practically like naturally generated random teleportation arrays. Once caught in one, there is no danger to one's life, but no one knows where they will end up.

Therefore, once an ordinary cultivator falls into such a place, finding a way out is extremely difficult, and even a half-saint is no exception.

What Lu Ye needs to do now is to find the enemy demigod here and then hunt him down.

The space within the void rift was chaotic and it was difficult to discern directions. Lu Ye acted impulsively, and he had only just begun his search when a turbulent current like a vortex suddenly appeared nearby.

Then a glimmer of hope burst forth.

As luck would have it, she was right next to Lu Ye.

Almost instinctively, Lu Ye raised his hand and summoned the Panshan Blade, slashing down with it.

The blade stopped less than three inches from the person's head, and Lu Ye frowned slightly.

"Brother Lu... Brother Lu? Is it Brother Lu?" A trembling voice entered Lu Ye's ears, clearly indicating that the newcomer had also noticed something was wrong.

No matter how confused he was after falling into this place, as a Dao-merging being, how could he not have noticed the life-or-death crisis just now?

By sensing the surrounding atmosphere, one can naturally make a judgment.

After all, Lu Ye didn't try to conceal himself when he appeared before.

"Thank you for sparing my life, Brother Xie. I was forced into this situation." Seeing that Lu Ye remained silent, the Daoist quickly spoke up again. "If I am not strong enough, I can only be driven like a pig or a dog if I do not want to die. I have only myself to blame for falling into this predicament. Brother Xie, rest assured, if I cannot escape, so be it. I will simply die here. If I have the opportunity to escape, I will never be your enemy again."

This person was undoubtedly clear-headed and articulate; in just a few words, he expressed his helplessness and frustration, and stated his position and feelings.

Lu Ye knew perfectly well that they were forced into this situation. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sheathed their swords earlier. In the end, they had no grudges against each other, and had never even met before. The other party was indeed forced by circumstances.

"Don't resist!" As Lu Ye spoke, he reached out and grabbed him.

Before the Daoist could react, he felt a weight on his shoulder and was immediately spun around...

This feeling was very similar to the feeling he had just experienced when he fell into the void crevice, making him think that he had been swept away by the void turbulence again.

But in the blink of an eye, his vision suddenly brightened, and he was immediately taken aback.

It should be known that there is no light in the gap between the voids, the direction is unknown, and it is difficult to see anything. But now a light has suddenly appeared, which puzzles him for a moment.

However, he quickly turned his head to look in one direction, because an extremely rich aura of a supreme treasure was coming from there!

Ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivators rarely come into contact with supreme treasures, but this person was previously involved. Whether it was Xue Wei and others or those puppet half-saints, they all possessed supreme treasures, especially the latter, who practically held those supreme treasures in their hands.

Therefore, this Dao-merging cultivator was not unfamiliar with the aura of the supreme treasure.

What kind of place is this? How could there be such a treasure here?

He was puzzled for a moment, but then he saw a small tower suspended in mid-air.

He paused for a moment, because he felt that this small tower... seemed somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this small tower looked exactly the same as the Time Tower of the Dragon Clan.

He also participated in the Dragon City Grand Ceremony and had a deep impression of the mysterious scene of the Tower of Time emerging from the river of time.

"Sit still and don't move rashly. Since Lu Ye has spared your life, don't seek your own death!" A voice suddenly rang out.

The Daoist who was staring at the Tower of Time was startled and quickly turned his head to look. Only then did he realize that he was not alone in this strange world.

Lu Ye continued his exploration within the void crevice.

He gained something, but all those he encountered were Dao-aligned. With a leisurely mindset of saving lives when he had nothing else to do, Lu Ye simply put all the Dao-aligned people he encountered into his inner world.

The reason for this is not hard to understand. Xue Wei's group had thousands of Dao Integration cultivators, making up the vast majority of the group, while there were less than a hundred Half-Saints. After being trapped here, the majority of people Lu Ye could encounter were naturally Dao Integration cultivators.

It wasn't until Lu Ye encountered more than ten Dao Integration Realm cultivators and threw them all into his inner world that he finally made a discovery.

Using a chaotic void current, Lu Ye was instantly transported to an unknown location when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura not far from him.

Half Saint!

Moreover, he was a puppet half-saint, because although his aura belonged to the half-saint level, it was mostly superficial and unstable.

This is undoubtedly the most obvious sign of a puppet demigod.

Unlike Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord, who could spend time and energy stabilizing their realm after advancing to semi-saint, these puppets seemed unable to maintain the state of their initial advancement.

It was unclear how long this puppet had been stranded here; after Lu Ye discovered him, he showed absolutely no reaction.

On the contrary, Lu Ye was on high alert!

Since it has been three months since the last Battle of Dragon City, the True Saints can descend upon Star Abyss again.

Lu Ye had been on guard against this matter when he met Xue Wei and the others, so he triggered the methods set up by Tai Chu Wu Tong as soon as they met.

Now that we've encountered this again, I'm naturally apprehensive.

However, given the current situation, it was clearly too late to condense a clone of the Talent Tree to block the disaster as before, so Lu Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and activate his Dao power to protect himself.

What reassured him somewhat was that the puppet demigod remained motionless in place, like a real puppet, completely unmoved by his arrival.

Lu Ye's eyes gradually brightened.

Given the opportunity, how could Pingyuan possibly let go of his hatred and loathing for him?
This can be seen from past experiences. Whenever Lu Ye's whereabouts were successfully located, whenever a True Saint could make a move, Yuan's side never held back.

But this time... it seems a little different. (End of Chapter)
