saint of humanity

Throughout history, no one has ever fused a second core fragment into a Universe-level Dao Integration Bead. Therefore, no one knows how the limit of the number of imprints would change when a Universe-level Dao Integration Bead fuses with more core fragments.

Lu Ye can be considered the first person to create something out of this world for now!

If three core fragments can have twenty-seven imprints, then it undoubtedly means that if more core fragments are fused together, this number will increase by nine!

Currently, apart from the one in Thousand Streams City, all the remaining core fragments in this Star Abyss are in Lu Ye's inner world, totaling nine!
He looked up at Si Shengjia and the others: "Si Sheng, Long Zun, Feng Zhu, I will shatter your Dao Integration Pearls!"

The Dragon Lord's mind raced the fastest. Combining everything he had just heard with Qin Feng's words, a thought suddenly struck him: "Could it be that fusing more core fragments could break this limit?"

"Indeed!" Lu Ye nodded in agreement.

"Then go ahead and do it!" Dragon Lord immediately said.

Phoenix Lord nodded in agreement: "With the True Saint in front of us, we have no power to resist. The Dao Integration Pearl is useless now. If it can help you, Xiao Ye, that would be the best outcome."

Without further hesitation, Lu Ye moved his divine sense and reached out, causing the Universe-level Dao Integration Beads placed in various parts of the Phoenix Nest to shatter one by one.

Having no time to fuse more fragments of the Dao Integration Pearl, Lu Ye only collected the core fragments and integrated them one by one into his own Dao Integration Pearl.

Just as he had expected, with the fusion of yet another core fragment, his inner world seemed to undergo some subtle, imperceptible changes.

Qin Feng was finally able to successfully leave his mark.

The fusion of core fragments doesn't take much time, and leaving one's own mark on a half-saint is equally effortless.

After the inner world contained a total of eighty-one imprints in this universe-level Dao-Merging Pearl, it finally reached its limit again. Although a few dragon clan demigods were unable to leave their imprints, it was no longer a big deal.

Lu Ye silently sensed it.

With the foundation of the power of myriad paths within his own inner world, the Fang Blade is now also supported by the power of nearly ten thousand paths. With the Dao Integration Pearl as the hub, it can borrow more than eight thousand paths from the many half-saints within his inner world!

His current strength has improved to an almost exaggerated degree.

Now he can be called at his strongest!
His previous anxiety vanished. If he hadn't had much confidence in facing the True Saint before, he was now free of worry.

His strength of nearly 30,000 Dao is his greatest source of confidence!

Lu Ye slowly opened his eyes. The surrounding starry sky trembled. Outside, the Seven Saints continued to exert their power. In just one or two days, the Gate of Star Abyss was almost formed.

It was only because the aura of the True Saint permeated the area that no Star Abyss creatures gathered at the Star Abyss Gate; otherwise, an invasion would have already occurred.

Lu Ye could feel that the entire starry sky was like a crystal ball that had been dropped on the ground. It seemed to be able to maintain its integrity, but its interior was already struggling to hold on.

If Qi Sheng continues to exert his power like this, it won't be long before the starry sky is completely shattered.

Lu Ye stepped out of the sedan chair and opened the portal to the inner world: "Ghost sedan chair, come in!"

Without uttering a word, the ghost sedan chair entered the inner world.

With the Star Abyss Gate nearing completion, Lu Ye no longer needs to rely on the Ghost Carriage's power to leave this starry sky.

He held his knife in his hand, his face solemn. After only a brief pause, he stepped forward.

This journey will take you to a place where the mountains are thousands of feet high, and you will only need to take one step to climb them!
Somewhere in the Star Abyss, where the Ghost Sedan Chair once carried Lu Ye into the Starry Sky Land, Qi Sheng raised his hand and made a gesture, causing a surge of immense Dao power around him, which in turn caused the surrounding Star Abyss aura to boil.

Within that palm, the power of space surged and vibrated incessantly, each vibration causing instability in the starry sky opposite.

Just then, a flash of light suddenly swept out from nowhere, and Qi Sheng, who was exerting his power continuously, was caught off guard and was injured.

Phoenix blood spurted out, and if Qi Sheng hadn't stopped in time, with the sharpness of the Fang Blade now, his entire hand would probably have been severed.

With that flash of light, Lu Ye charged out, his gaze instantly fixed on Qi Sheng, who was retreating. Just as he was about to give chase, his heart skipped a beat.

As soon as he appeared, five or six powerful auras from all directions instantly swarmed towards him like leeches.

Then came an indescribably ferocious offensive.

Lu Ye felt a chill run down his spine. Although he had anticipated that he would not only face Qi Sheng after coming out this time, but there were also likely other True Saints lying in wait outside, he did not expect there to be so many.

On the day the Origin Realm merged, Yang Zhao sent word that among the nine True Saints, several would remain on Abyss Island, while several would depart.

It seems that all the True Saints who set off to leave Yuan Island have gathered here.

Fortunately, many half-saints in the inner world left their marks on the Dao Integration Pearl, so Lu Ye does have enough confidence to face a true saint, but that is in a one-on-one situation.

Five or six True Saints attacked him at once, and Lu Ye even sensed Yang Qing's aura. How could he possibly withstand that?

In the rush, he could only exert all his strength to protect himself, and the next moment his figure was overwhelmed by the numerous attacks.

A muffled groan was heard as Lu Ye stumbled out, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

His mind was shaken, his blood and qi were unstable, and even his bones seemed to have shifted. This was a truly serious injury!
But Lu Ye's eyes were incredibly bright.

Because he was certain of one thing: his current strength was indeed enough to contend with a True Saint. He couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate. If it weren't for Zhu Pang's actions, he would probably have perished here in this one encounter, relying solely on his reserves from the previous few days.

Thanks to the power of those eight thousand Daos, he was only seriously injured after withstanding a round of attacks from the True Saints.

This is undoubtedly a blessing in disguise.

At this moment, within the inner world, the many semi-saints who had left their marks on the Dao Integration Pearl also trembled.

Because they could clearly feel their own power being consumed, although the consumption was not much when spread out, none of the semi-saints dared to be negligent. They were all meditating and adjusting their breathing to replenish their own consumption, so as not to have any impact on Lu Ye's battle.

Within the Star Abyss, Lu Ye, who had survived that onslaught, immediately activated his Blood Escape Technique and frantically fled into the distance.

If only Qi Sheng were here, he could still have a chance to compete with him and see who is stronger now.

However, facing so many True Saints on his own, Lu Ye would have to be out of his mind to stay.

As soon as he made a move, the True Saints naturally gave chase.

"Xiao Ye!" A voice suddenly came to his mind; it was the tower spirit. "Find a way to isolate them."

"I know!" Lu Ye replied. What he needed to do now, or rather, the only way to win, was to find a way to create one-on-one opportunities for himself with those True Saints, so that he could eliminate them one by one.

There is a chance, because even among the True Saints, who are powerful, there is a significant difference in speed.

Yang Qing is the strongest and should be the fastest, while Qi Sheng comes from the Phoenix Clan, is proficient in the Dao of Space, and is skilled in teleportation.

Therefore, these two must be the ones pursuing the most closely.

Lu Ye's plan was to bypass these two and target the other True Saints first.

"No." As if knowing what Lu Ye was thinking, the tower spirit spoke again, "You must deal with Yang Qing first!"

"Why?" Lu Ye asked, puzzled.

“The True Saint contains a trace of the universe’s origin. As long as the origin is undying, the True Saint will never die. Therefore, only the True Saint can kill the True Saint!” the Tower Spirit explained.

Lu Ye was taken aback upon hearing this, as it was the first time he had ever heard of such a claim. However, it was not surprising that the Tower Spirit knew this, since it was left behind in this universe by the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors and could be considered to have been born with the universe.

He couldn't help but frown: "If only a True Saint can kill a True Saint, then how can I deal with the Second Ancestor?"

This is clearly a paradox. Even if he now has the resources to compete with Yang Qing, he is not a true saint and cannot destroy the source within Yang Qing's body, so there is no way to solve the problem.

"I have a way!" the tower spirit declared decisively.

"What do you have..." After asking, Lu Ye suddenly remembered something.

Before he escaped into the starry sky with the help of the ghost sedan chair, he had met Yang Qing once. At that time, Yang Qing was about to attack him, but the tower spirit asked him to release it. Yang Qing's attack seemed to hesitate for a moment because of this, giving him a chance to escape.

Lu Ye found it strange at the time; there was no reason why the power of the Tower of Time could cover Yang Qing's location, because it was too far away.

What exactly caused Yang Qing, who had lost his mind and was enslaved by the Abyss, to have such an unusual reaction after seeing the Tower of Time?

“Yang Qing is my master!” the tower spirit said slowly.

Lu Ye's eyes narrowed!
He never imagined that the Tower of Time, this treasure hidden in the river of time, actually had an owner, and that the owner was Yang Qing.

However, it's not surprising when you think about it. Yang Qing is the second-generation ancestor of the Dragon Clan. Apart from the ancestor who left behind the Tower of Time, he is the Dragon Clan member with the highest seniority in the entire universe.

It's even possible that the ancestor left the Tower of Time to Yang Qing.

However, as Yang Qing fell into the Origin Realm and became a True Saint, this treasure was left in the river of time.

That's why Yang Qing had some unusual reactions when he saw the Tower of Time that day; it was a remnant of his instincts.

Now that the tower spirit had said that, Lu Ye couldn't help but have some wild thoughts.

"I understand!" Lu Ye didn't ask too many questions, just nodded heavily, without slowing down.

Suddenly, an attack came from behind. Lu Ye didn't need to look to know that it was Qi Sheng's attack.

This seventh-generation Phoenix Clan Lord's mastery of the Dao of Space is unmatched in the entire universe. Even from a great distance, the power of this attack did not diminish in the slightest.

Lu Ye suddenly turned around and slashed out with his sword, his body trembling slightly.

Several streaks of light rapidly approached in his field of vision, and just as he had expected, the fastest was Yang Qing. This Second Ancestor moved with the agility of a startled swan, rapidly closing the distance between them. (End of Chapter)
