saint of humanity

The outbreak of such a great battle caused panic throughout the Origin Realm, with countless eyes turning towards Abyss Island from all directions of the Origin Realm.

Fortunately, Si Shengyuan had moved the surviving humans to an underwater ruin, where they have not emerged since. Otherwise, the impact of this great war would have caused countless deaths and injuries to the humans who have always lived in the Cage Sea.

Leaving aside the battlefield between Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master, Lu Ye immediately went all out when facing Fu Guang!

The four True Saints are already on their way back; the battle here naturally needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Moreover, his purpose in coming here is not just to kill a True Saint. Ideally, he would kill all three remaining here, which would make the future situation clear.

But this is ultimately just an expectation; whether it can be achieved depends on the performance of each individual.

Fu Guang has only recently become a True Saint, and his advancement was rather hasty. Currently, his strength is almost at the bottom among all True Saints, even inferior to Yang Qing.

At least Yang Qing regained his intelligence.

Fu Guang relied solely on instinct to compete, which naturally put him at a disadvantage compared to Yang Qing.

Therefore, Lu Ye quickly gained the upper hand against Fu Guang.

However, Lu Ye soon discovered that the True Saint was difficult to deal with, or rather, Fu Guang himself had extremely rich combat experience. So even if he relied solely on instinct, it was easy for him to gain the upper hand, but it was difficult to achieve anything significant.

This is different from the previous situation when Qi Sheng was killed. Back then, Yang Qing was there to support him, but now it's a one-on-one fight, making it difficult to find a good opportunity.

After a brief moment of intense fighting, Lu Ye suddenly noticed that beneath the white mask with red lettering, Fu Guang's gaze had turned venomous and resentful.

It seemed as if there was some irreconcilable hatred between him and Lu Ye.

渊！
This place is Abyss Island, the place where the Abyss is sealed. The venomous gaze directed at Lu Ye through the mask is not superficial, but rather the will of the Abyss.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ye's expression hardened, because he suddenly realized that Fu Guang's strength had suddenly increased significantly!

This is undoubtedly abnormal.

Lu Ye suspected that Yuan had probably done something to cause the strange change in Fu Guang's strength.

This makes it even more difficult for him to kill Fu Guang.

It's not that we can't finish them off, but rather that we need time to gradually turn our advantage into a winning position.

Ultimately, he didn't really understand his predecessor's various methods, and the mysterious techniques the other party occasionally used often caught him off guard.

But he doesn't have much time right now. Yang Qing can certainly restrain Lu Sheng, but it can't last long. Not to mention the Seventh Master, whose secret technique to restore his strength to its peak also has an expiration date.

If either of these two factions falters, this battle will end in utter defeat. And if this defeat makes Yuan wary, there will likely be no more opportunities like this in the future.

Therefore, he must succeed as soon as possible to break the deadlock.

In a flash, Lu Ye's heart stirred, and he immediately separated a wisp of his mind to sink into the Talent Tree.

Just three breaths later, Lu Ye, who was fighting with Fu Guang, suddenly noticed some strange changes in his aura. If his aura was normal masculine before, it now had a touch of femininity.

After a brief pause, Lu Ye resumed his movements, but this time his fighting style underwent a complete transformation.

The reason is simple: at this moment, it is no longer Lu Ye himself who is in control of his physical body.

It was Jin Yao!

He didn't really understand Fu Guang, so even if he was strong enough, it wouldn't be easy to defeat Fu Guang one-on-one unless the difference in strength between them reached an overwhelming level. But between True Saints, no matter how big the difference in strength is, it's unrealistic for one side to crush the other.

This is also why Yang Qing was able to restrain the Three Saints. In terms of strength, the gap between him and the Three Saints was no smaller than that between Lu Ye and Fu Guang.

Lu Ye didn't understand Fu Guang, but there were people in this world who knew Fu Guang inside and out.

That was Jin Yao, who had been fighting against Fu Guang for tens of thousands of years!

These two were practically sworn enemies in their time, irreconcilable adversaries who had clashed countless times.

If anyone in this world has any understanding of Fu Guang's methods and background, it is none other than Jin Yao.

Normally, it is not easy for a soul to control another person's body, but with Lu Ye actively cooperating, the situation is completely different.

When Jin Yao first took control of Lu Ye's body, she was not yet proficient, and her movements in wielding the knife and fighting were extremely clumsy. Fortunately, she was stronger, otherwise she would have really suffered at Fu Guang's hands.

But Jin Yao truly deserves to be called a True Saint. If she hadn't deliberately triggered the restrictions of the Hehe Realm and entered the Nameless Land, she would definitely have a place among the Nine Saints now.

Therefore, after only a brief period of familiarization, she was able to control Lu Ye's body without any further hesitation, and instead became smooth and free.

The fighting style changed drastically.

Now, no matter how mysterious the methods Fu Guang used, Jin Yao was able to deal with them with ease.

In this world, the one who understands you best is always your enemy.

Lu Ye's use of Jin Yao to deal with Fu Guang was completely unreasonable. Jin Yao never expected that after losing her physical body for so many years, and with the Soul-Suppressing Bell being refined and devoured by Lu Ye using his Talent Tree, she would one day be able to fight her old rival in such a bloody battle.

Fu Guang probably never imagined that even after achieving the status of a true saint, he still couldn't shake off the grudges from tens of thousands of years ago.

If he had any sense, he would surely curse him as despicable and shameless.

This confrontation can almost be seen as a continuation of the long-standing feud between Jin Yao and Fu Guang.

Lu Ye used her power to deal with Fu Guang, and she also wanted to use this opportunity to fulfill her own wish.
When Lu Ye was in control of the physical body, he already had the upper hand. Now that Jin Yao was in control of the physical body, the advantage expanded rapidly. In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had already made some progress.

The fang blade struck Fu Guang with a heavy blow, breaking through his protective Dao power and almost severing him in half at the waist!

Although Jin Yao wasn't an expert in swordsmanship, she had lived for so many years that, as the saying goes, "If you master one technique, you master all techniques." In the current battle, the quality of her swordsmanship was no longer important; Lu Ye's own strong foundation was the key.

As the blood of the floating light fell across the sky, a hint of panic was conveyed in the eyes beneath the mask.

Yuan clearly hadn't expected that, despite having such a significant advantage, the situation would develop in this way.

Since Fu Guang was already injured, Lu Ye did not hesitate any longer and immediately activated the power of sorrow. In an instant, the aura on Fu Guang's body suddenly weakened by a bit.

There was no need to wait. The reason why it took so long to kill Qi Sheng was because Qi Sheng was too strong. Once the power of sorrow was activated, it had to be a decisive blow. So, after accumulating the power of three strikes, Lu Ye finally activated the power of two weapon clans.

Fu Guang is ultimately different from Qi Sheng. Fu Guang was already somewhat outmatched, and now that part of his strength has been sealed by the power of sorrow, his situation is even more difficult.

"He's going to run!" Although Lu Ye was only observing coldly from within his physical body, he saw through Fu Guang's plan at a glance.

"He can't escape!" Jin Yao replied coldly, unleashing boundless sword light that enveloped the floating light.

Fu Guang was indeed unable to escape. There was already a difference in strength, and now that he was injured, Jin Yao had no way to escape even with all her strength.

A moment later, he was stabbed again, and his breath weakened for the second time.

Given the current situation, Fu Guang's death is a foregone conclusion.

With the advantage in her position, Jin Yao showed no mercy or carelessness, continuing her vigilant and all-out attack.

It could be said that she had never experienced such an exhilarating battle before, because it was only after she took control of Lu Ye's body that she realized how terrifying Lu Ye's foundation was.

Putting everything else aside, the seemingly inexhaustible reserves of Dao power alone gave her no worries whatsoever.

She can unleash all the power of herself and the body she controls at will without worrying about exhaustion.

Fu Guang ultimately couldn't withstand the third blow.

When Jin Yao spotted the flaw and slashed into his body with her third strike, Jiu Sheng, who had survived for many years in the Hehe Realm and finally became a True Saint, was finally cut in two.

As the fine blades swept through, the body was reduced to countless fragments and shattered pieces.

But that vitality showed no signs of weakening. Just like when Qi Sheng was killed, the fragments and shattered corpses were drawn together by some invisible force.

Just then, a blazing flame swept in from not far away, and it turned out that the seventh generation master, who had noticed the death of Fu Guang, was making a move in their direction.

The Phoenix's True Fire incinerates all things in the world.

Enveloped in flames, the fleeting life force quickly vanished, leaving only some hardened Dao bones in the shortest moment.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Lu Ye had regained control of his physical body, and Jin Yao's somewhat weak yet relieved voice echoed in his mind.

"I should thank you!" Lu Ye replied, but didn't have time to say anything more.

He turned his head to look in the direction where the seventh lord was.

The reason why the Seventh Generation Master was able to spare the time to kill Fu Guang in that situation was because she was not fighting alone, but together with Yang Qing, fighting the Three Saints.

The reason for this situation is not that Lu Sheng was killed.

Instead, Lu Sheng had already escaped at some point just now!
Just as Jin Yao struck Fu Guang twice, Fu Guang attempted to escape.

At that time, not only did Fu Guang want to escape, but the Three Saints and Lu Saint also intended to escape—Yuan had realized that things were going badly, and if these puppets under his command did not escape quickly, they would likely be defeated one by one.

However, the result was that Fu Guang was powerless and was forcibly kept by Jin Yao, while Lu Sheng, who was fighting against Yang Qing, easily escaped.

It wasn't that Yang Qing didn't want to stop him, but that he simply couldn't.

Fortunately, the Seventh Generation Lord managed to entangle the Three Saints, who were also trying to escape, for a while. Yang Qing saw the opportunity and immediately came to their aid. With the combined strength of the two of them, they were able to barely keep the Three Saints at bay.

Lu Ye flashed and attacked.

In an instant, the situation on the side of the Three Saints turned into one against three.

Having already traveled some distance, Lu Sheng hurriedly stopped, hesitated briefly, and then fled into the distance at an even faster speed.

—Yuan had already foreseen the fate of the Three Saints; even if he rushed to their aid now, it would be too late. (End of Chapter)
