saint of humanity

Near Yuan Island, the battle raged fiercely, but the situation had already become clear.

Jiu Sheng was killed, Lu Sheng fled, and the three saints are now fighting against one!

The blood of dragons and phoenixes rained down on the sky, and the roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes never ceased. In such a great battle, Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master were already covered in wounds. However, even in the most critical moment just now, they fought to the death and refused to retreat. Not to mention that Lu Ye has now joined the battle.

In this situation, even if the Three Saints are strong, they will find it difficult to achieve anything—Lu Ye alone is enough to contend with them, not to mention that Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master are currently there to assist them.

Lu Ye disregarded his own life, his sword flashing continuously, advancing relentlessly, with no defense but offense. At this moment, he had no other desire but to quickly kill the three saints.

If we don't seize this excellent opportunity, then all the efforts and hard work of Yang Qing and the Seventh Master will have been in vain.

Four figures crisscrossed and leaped, their violent Dao power surging in all directions.

It must be said that the strength of the Three Saints is much stronger than that of the Nine Saints. Moreover, the Three Saints are sword cultivators, and their killing power is extremely fierce. Even when fighting three against one, they are still very troublesome.

This is also the biggest reason why the seventh generation master was badly injured shortly after the confrontation.

The Tower of Time has been unleashed, and the power of time flows in all directions, restraining the power of the Three Saints.

The seventh generation master also activated the power of space, causing this area of ​​space to become distorted and transformed.

Although Lu Ye himself also cultivated the Dao of Space and possessed the Dao Seed of Space, and had the Fruit of Time on the Talent Tree to borrow the power of past Dragon Lords, his attainments in these two paths were still far inferior to those of Yang Qing and the Seventh Lord.

He was ultimately not a true member of the dragon or phoenix clans.

However, when the temporal and spatial power in the vicinity reached its limit, Lu Ye suddenly had a thought, and his aura changed. Then, Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master were surprised to find that the power they had unleashed was all surging towards Lu Ye, and then some extremely strange changes occurred.

Yang Qing suddenly realized: "Harmonize Yin and Yang!"

The forces of time and space are the foundation of the entire universe. The Dragon and Phoenix clans control these two forces, but they have always acted independently, just like the forces of Yin and Yang, which are difficult to reconcile.

However, the human body can harmonize yin and yang, integrate the power of time and space, and evolve into something wondrous.

Since Lu Ye was able to rescue the powerful dragon clan members from the Ancestral Abyss Restriction, he must have deeply mastered the mysteries of harmonizing Yin and Yang.

Upon realizing this, Yang Qing immediately and more fiercely activated the power of the Tower of Time, pouring it into Lu Ye's direction.

The seventh generation lord was also a veteran of many battles. Seeing this scene, he would not hesitate any longer and would also urge the power of space even more fiercely.

Time and space, these two mysterious forces, converge and merge around Lu Ye's location, rapidly evolving into a new force.

That's the power of spacetime!

A faint light suddenly appeared on the blade.

Lu Ye's expression was solemn as he raised his sword and slashed at the Three Saints.

In the previous battle, such an offensive was something that the Three Saints could not easily block, but it was difficult for it to pose any threat to him.

However, as Lu Ye's sword struck down, the Three Saints seemed to be frozen in place, as if under a spell.

A single, silent strike!

However, it erased everything around the Three Saints.

At that very moment, he severed Yuan's enslavement of him—Lu Ye's strike, which combined the strongest dragon and phoenix clans of the era and used himself as the pivot, was never intended for the Three Saints.

When the time and space in which the Three Saints resided were erased, Yuan naturally lost the ability to control them.

Just as the Three Saints' bodies stiffened, Lu Ye's eyes flashed like lightning, and he slashed out with his sword once again.

This strike was aimed directly at the Three Saints.

Without any hindrance, the bodies of the three saints were split in two, blood and internal organs spilling out. Yuan didn't even have time to enslave the three saints again and activate their protective power.

A phoenix cry rang out, and the Phoenix True Fire enveloped the three saints' corpses, fiercely incinerating them.

Only then did boundless rage suddenly erupt from the direction of Yuan Island—first, Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Lord regained their intelligence, and then the Ninth Saint and the Third Saint died tragically. Yuan Island could no longer sit still; if it had a physical body, it would probably have already charged out to fight.

Lu Ye suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Yuan Island.

Now that Yuan Island is deserted except for Yuan, who is sealed off here, this is definitely a good opportunity to completely eradicate it.

Moreover... the last core fragment is located on Abyss Island. Lu Ye could clearly sense that it was somewhere deep within Abyss Island.

That's very likely the location where Yuan was sealed!
If we can storm Yuan Island now, we can solve the problem once and for all and eliminate any future troubles.

As Lu Ye was thinking this, he suddenly frowned.

This was because Lu Sheng, who had previously fled, had suddenly returned. Not only that, but four powerful auras followed behind him.

Those were none other than the four True Saints he had previously left behind!
"Lu Ye, I can't hold on much longer!"

To make matters worse, at that moment, the seventh generation master suddenly spoke with difficulty, and then his aura weakened at an extremely rapid pace.

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately raised his hand to summon the ghost sedan chair and called out, "Let's go!"

The seventh generation master flashed into the ghost sedan chair, followed closely by Yang Qing, who was covered in blood. After Lu Ye entered the ghost sedan chair, the chair swayed slightly and slowly disappeared, its whereabouts unknown.

A moment later, the five True Saints returned to Yuan Island, but Lu Ye and the others were nowhere to be seen.

Five figures stood above Yuan Island, but Yuan Island, which had been undisturbed for countless millennia, was now shaking incessantly, as if an earth dragon was turning over beneath the island, venting boundless rage.

Somewhere in the Star Abyss, the ghost sedan chair appears.

Inside the sedan chair, Yang Qing lay there without any regard for his image, with dragon blood gushing beneath him.

The seventh generation master was in even worse shape. Her pretty face was deathly pale, and she no longer possessed the demeanor of a true saint. Her aura was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind and rain—the backlash of the secret technique had arrived!

Before Lu Ye could even offer a word of concern, the Seventh Generation Master weakly said, "I need to remain silent for a while!"

After she finished speaking, a layer of blood flames suddenly erupted from her body and enveloped her. After the blood flames disappeared, the seventh generation master actually transformed back into a phoenix egg.

“Don’t worry, the Phoenix Clan has the strongest vitality in the entire universe, not to mention she is a True Saint, she can’t die, but she will be in this state for at least thirty to fifty years.” Yang Qing said, clutching his chest, where a penetrating wound and a diagonal slash wound were shocking to behold.

"How are the Second Ancestors' injuries?" Lu Ye asked with concern.

Yang Qing shook his head: "I need to rest for a while. Please take me into your inner world to heal my injuries first."

Lu Ye nodded and immediately opened the portal to the inner world, first sending the seventh generation master inside.

Yang Qing strode towards the entrance, but just as he was about to enter, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Lu Ye and solemnly instructed him, "Do not refine the origin of the universe. You should have sensed it."

Lu Ye was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "Why?"

He did sense it, which is why he had that expression after arriving here.

Yang Qing looked on with a nostalgic expression: "This is the instruction left by our ancestors. They said that you have your own path to walk and you don't need to follow in the footsteps of your predecessors."

Everyone has their own path to walk...

Lu Ye was stunned.

A moment later, inside the ghost sedan chair, Lu Ye sat alone, silently sensing.

He could clearly sense that there were some strange things in the universe, or more precisely, two paths!
He could even sense that he could refine one of them!
That is undoubtedly the origin of the universe.

As for where these two cosmic origins came from—they were naturally left behind by the Ninth Saint and the Third Saint after their deaths, and were treasures of this universe.

His foundation is now extremely solid. Once he can refine one of the universe's origins, he will surely achieve the body of a true saint, and his strength will be further enhanced.

Now that the seventh generation master has undergone Nirvana, and due to the backlash of the secret technique, he cannot be relied upon for the next thirty to fifty years. Only he and Yang Qing are left to face the five True Saints.

If Yang Qing were to achieve True Saint status when he was no longer at his peak, his side could further enhance their strength. Moreover, given his foundation, once he achieved True Saint status, he would undoubtedly be the strongest among them!

At this critical juncture, Yang Qing told him not to refine the origin of the universe, as this was an instruction left by the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors.

Why can't it be refined?

The origin of the universe is the most important treasure of this universe. Although the Abyss can enslave the True Saint, it is the result of countless years of accumulation and erosion.

It shouldn't have the ability to tamper with the origin of the universe.

Take Yang Qing for example. He is a true saint who has refined the origin of the universe. If there is a real problem, Yang Qing will definitely be able to detect it.

My own path...

Admittedly, the secret techniques of the small world obtained from the Ancestral Abyss Restriction are a different kind of cultivation method from the entire universe's cultivation system, but they were left behind by the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors.

Lu Ye's current strength can indeed be improved, but that would depend on the growth of the Fang Blade. How can that be considered his own path?
We can't exactly tell him to enter the One Yuan Starry Sky to find more treasures to devour.

The situation is indeed not as critical as before. Of the nine saints, only five true saints remain.

Having learned their lesson from being split up before, these five will probably not dare to scatter and run around again, and will most likely stay behind on Yuan Island.

Therefore, I don't need to be in such a rush regarding my own time.

Even though the Fang Blade can devour more treasures and grow stronger, Lu Ye could sense that this growth also had its limits, but it hadn't reached those limits yet.

Furthermore, the ghost sedan chair cannot enter the starry sky at will; it can only do so if there is a flaw in the starry sky.

After much thought, Lu Ye still couldn't understand why the Dragon and Phoenix Ancestors had specifically left a message telling him not to refine the origin of the universe.

but……

That being said, Lu Ye still valued the immense kindness of the Dragon Clan ancestors during his cultivation journey.

Since our ancestors left these words, they must not have spoken without reason. If we rashly attempt to refine the origin of the universe, there is a high possibility that some unexpected hidden dangers may arise.

With this thought in mind, Lu Ye finally suppressed the restless impulse in his heart.

However… while I may not be able to refine the origin of the universe, others can! (End of Chapter)
