saint of humanity

As phoenix blood spilled into the void, boundless rage descended from the heavens.

That is the wrath of the deep!
It clearly did not expect that after Yang Qing chased Lu Ye into the River of Time, this second-generation ancestor of the Dragon Clan would actually break free from its control and enslavement.

This has never happened before.

Even worse, the other party joined forces with Lu Ye to launch a sneak attack on Qi Sheng, resulting in Qi Sheng being injured.

Enraged, Qi Sheng suddenly turned around and launched a fierce attack on Yang Qing.

Yang Qing seemed to have anticipated this, and he quickly retreated. His aura weakened again, not because he was injured, but because he had ended up like Lu Ye—unable to mobilize the Dao power that was floating around him!
As early as when Yang Qing and Lu Ye emerged from the River of Time, he knew that after his appearance, he would only have one chance to strike.

Because once he falls back into the Abyss's attention, the Abyss will know that he has broken free from enslavement and will naturally cut off his ability to sense the surrounding Dao power.

Without the aid of external forces, even Yang Qing's current strength is limited!

At the same time, he shouted in a low voice, "Lu Ye, it's up to you now!"

Without uttering a word, Lu Ye unleashed a barrage of sword light towards Qi Sheng. At this moment, he had completely abandoned any defensive stance, and every strike he made was an all-out, unstoppable offensive.

The two figures immediately engaged in a fierce battle, their respective powers surging violently.

In terms of strength and foundation, Lu Ye is now able to withstand Yang Qing's attacks for two incense sticks' time, which is no less than that of Qi Sheng. However, in terms of his mastery of the Dao of Space, Lu Ye is far inferior to Qi Sheng. In such a great battle, Qi Sheng frequently activated the power of space, making it difficult for Lu Ye to make any contributions.

During the great battle, Lu Ye's expression was solemn, with only one thought in his mind.

Faster, faster, even faster!

The other True Saints are definitely on their way, so he has to deal with Seven Saints as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be over once the other True Saints arrive!
The power of the Dao on the Talent Tree was flowing away like a flood. Even the many half-saints in the inner world clearly felt the continuous depletion of their own Dao power and were secretly horrified, wondering what kind of powerful enemy Lu Ye was facing at this moment and was fighting so fiercely.

Qi Sheng's fighting skills have undoubtedly reached a superb level. At this moment, even relying solely on instinct, Lu Ye must be extremely cautious in dealing with him.

In particular, her ingenious use of the Dao of Space, with many techniques that Lu Ye had never even considered.

In a one-on-one situation, Lu Ye figured that with his current strength, he could certainly fight against Qi Sheng, but it would be difficult for him to achieve anything significant.

In fact, if he hadn't also cultivated the Dao of Space, Qi Sheng could have escaped at any time.

It was precisely because he also cultivated the Dao of Space that he had the opportunity to entangle Qi Sheng.

Fortunately, there's still Yang Qing!
After being stripped of his right to mobilize external forces, his strength was greatly weakened, but he was still a true saint. While Lu Ye was the main attacker, he supported from the side, occasionally launching surprise attacks, which also tied down some of Qi Sheng's attention.

Suddenly, the battle raged on for an unknown amount of time. Lu Ye, who was attacking wildly with his sword, suddenly shuddered and staggered backward. Qi Sheng pursued him like a leech.

Just then, Lu Ye finally raised his hand and unleashed a golden light that he had been holding back for a long time!
Within that golden light, a long needle could be vaguely seen.

Weaving the Heavenly Needle!
The power of the supreme treasure permeated the air, and Qi Sheng, who was chasing after them, had already sensed something was wrong. He wanted to retreat, but it was too late, so he could only use his power to protect himself.

The Heavenly Needle struck Qi Sheng, breaking through her protective Dao power. Before Qi Sheng could make any further moves, Lu Ye had already slashed down with his sword.

Phoenix blood splattered in the void, and Lu Ye groaned, his throat filled with the metallic taste of blood.

However, when Qi Sheng was injured by him, he also injured him.

Lu Ye's eyes brightened. Trading injury for injury was his original intention, so no matter how badly he was injured, he had ultimately gained something.

They dared not slack off and pressed on with renewed vigor, not daring to give Qi Sheng even the slightest chance to catch his breath.

Yang Qing also rushed up from the side, roaring like a dragon as he launched a desperate attack.

The next instant, his figure was sent flying by Qi Sheng, but taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ye slashed down with another blade.

There was no way to avoid this blow. Following his instincts, Qi Sheng chose the most direct way to deal with it—raising his palm and pressing it down on Lu Ye's chest.

The next moment, Lu Ye's chest caved in, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his body flying away like a kite.

Qi Sheng's body trembled at the same time, his clothes already stained red with blood.

The third knife!

Lu Ye, who had barely managed to steady himself, didn't even have time to catch his breath before shouting, "Second Ancestor!"

Yang Qing understood and raised his hand to summon the Tower of Time. With the power of his Dao, visible temporal energy emanated from the tower and enveloped Qi Sheng.

Qi Sheng would not sit idly by and wait to die. Just as he was about to dodge, his body stiffened...

Three strikes landed on Qi Sheng's body. Such injuries were nothing to a True Saint. In fact, to avoid alerting Qi Sheng, Lu Ye did not allow the power of the Fang and the power of the Sorrow surrounding Qi Sheng's wounds to erupt.

At this moment, he finally unleashed the power of his own Dao weapon!

He didn't know how much of an impact this would have on Qi Sheng. If possible, he hoped to leave more injuries on Qi Sheng, but time didn't allow it, because he sensed the aura of a certain True Saint approaching from afar.

Qi Sheng's reinforcements are arriving soon!

As Qi Sheng's body paused slightly, the three wounds suddenly seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand, and blood gushed out like a pillar. Not only that, but Qi Sheng's aura also suddenly weakened a bit!
The sudden eruption of the two divine powers of the warrior races clearly caught Qi Sheng off guard.

Not to mention that at this moment, Yang Qing also activated the power of the Tower of Time, and the dense temporal power also had a great impact on her.

She was, after all, a True Saint, and her strength was now far greater than Yang Qing's, so in just an instant, she broke free from the constraints of the power of time.

However, when she looked up, her murky eyes reflected the figure of Lu Ye wielding his sword and slashing down.

The blade slashed into Qi Sheng's fair and slender neck, paused slightly, and then, with the violent tremor of Lu Ye's arm, finally broke through the protective Dao power, cut into flesh and blood, severed Dao bones, and emerged from the other side of his chest.

With a single stroke, Qi Sheng's body was severed from his head!

The sharpness of the Panshan Blade is now so great that even a True Saint's body would find it difficult to withstand!
She was not dead at all; she merely blinked, and then, as if by an invisible force, her severed body parts seemed to converge back together.

Seeing this, Lu Ye thought to himself, "As expected, only a True Saint can kill a True Saint!"

His blade was indeed very sharp, but even if he cut Qi Sheng in two, he couldn't actually take her life.

He showed no sign of frustration, but simply took a slight step back.

Another figure attacked from the side. Before Qi Sheng's corpse could reassemble and the dragon's roar could be heard, countless fist shadows had already bombarded her.

Every strike was Yang Qing's all-out effort at that moment!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere. Even when Lu Ye cut her in two, Qi Sheng's life force did not fluctuate at all. But now, under Yang Qing's frenzied attack, her life force was weakening at a visible speed.

Qi Sheng still wanted to resist, but given the current situation, it was impossible for him to achieve anything.

Until all life was completely extinguished, Qi Sheng's entire body had turned into a blurry mass of flesh that was difficult to distinguish.

"Hurry up!" As Yang Qing spoke, he activated the power of the Tower of Time, summoning the River of Time once again. The river surged, and he, Lu Ye, and the remains of Qi Sheng all disappeared.

Just three breaths later, a True Saint arrived, but left nothing behind. Even the phoenix blood that Qi Sheng had shed when he was injured was taken away by Yang Qing.

Within the long river of time, at an anchor point, both Lu Ye and Yang Qing were somewhat disheveled.

In this fierce battle to kill Qi Sheng, Lu Ye was the main attacker, with Yang Qing assisting. However, no one was able to escape unscathed, but fortunately, the result was still quite good.

"Second Ancestor, did the Seventh Master also leave his divine thoughts at the anchor point back then?" Lu Ye asked while coughing up blood.

"Probably not." Yang Qing shook his head. "The Phoenix Clan is proficient in the Way of Space and does not have the ability to leave divine thoughts in anchor points."

Moreover, Yang Qing fell into the Origin Realm many, many years earlier than the seventh generation master of the Phoenix Clan. Therefore, he had no idea what happened in the universe after he fell into the Origin Realm and became a True Saint.

"So what do we need to do now?" Lu Ye asked.

“Do nothing!” Yang Qing said.

As he finished speaking, a red flame suddenly appeared on the bloody, mangled mass of flesh in front of him. The flame was not scorching hot, but rather gentle. Strangely, the flame gave people a feeling of vitality.

Yang Qing said, "The Phoenix Clan has the ability to undergo Nirvana, so even if I kill her, she can be reborn and return. After Nirvana, she can get rid of Yuan's enslavement."

Lu Ye nodded. Of course he knew about this, after all, he was considered half a member of the Phoenix Clan.

Yang Qing had previously mentioned having an accomplice, and when Lu Ye inquired, Yang Qing revealed that it was Qi Sheng!
Yang Qing was able to leave his divine thoughts at the anchor points of the River of Time, planning his next move today. He would use those divine thoughts to seize control of his physical body, then use the River of Time to cleanse his body, rewind time, and allow his divine thoughts to merge with his physical body.

Qi Sheng didn't have that method, but the Phoenix Clan's Nirvana ability was a natural backup plan.

This was Yang Qing's plan ever since he emerged from the anchor point.

However, there is still one problem...

“Second Ancestor, after the Phoenix Clan undergoes Nirvana, their strength will be greatly reduced. It will take a long time to nurture them and slowly recover to their peak,” Lu Ye said slowly.

Having experienced this himself and witnessed Su Yan's rebirth, he naturally remembered it vividly.

If that's the case, then although the seventh generation lord can get rid of the abyss's enslavement after his Nirvana, he will be of no use at all, so how can he be a helper?

He and Yang Qing couldn't possibly stay here and wait for the seventh generation master to recover; that would take forever.
While hiding within the river of time is indeed safe enough, the external situation no longer allows for any further delay. (End of Chapter)
