saint of humanity

The moment Lu Ye stepped out of the starry sky, several powerful auras locked onto him from afar, and then those auras quickly approached.

Good luck!

He thought to himself, and quickly dashed away.

Over the past thirty years, he had experienced similar scenes many times; almost every time he emerged from the starry sky, he would encounter this situation.

Sometimes, luck is on your side, like right now, as you emerge from a position slightly away from those True Saints, allowing you to leave with ease.

Sometimes, if you're unlucky and find yourself in a position close enough to the True Saints, a battle is inevitable.

The most dangerous time was when he was surrounded by five True Saints as soon as he appeared. If he hadn't been hiding inside the ghost sedan chair at the time, he might have been killed instantly.

Even so, the numerous attacks pierced through the ghost sedan chair, severely injuring him.

The ghost sedan chair is not a defensive treasure after all; its protective power is limited.

This time, Lu Ye was undoubtedly lucky; he was positioned neither too close nor too far from the True Saints, giving him ample time to maneuver.

Lu Ye darted forward, pursued closely by the five True Saints.

A moment later, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed down in the void. As the portal to his inner world opened, four figures filed out.

"Proceed according to plan!" Lu Ye shouted in a low voice, turning around to face the five saints who were pursuing him.

The distance between them rapidly closed, and the five True Saints' power surged wildly, as they prepared to attack.

Lu Ye's long sword trembled violently, and as the sword whistled in the void, a golden tree suddenly appeared out of thin air behind him.

Talent Tree!
Or rather, a tree!
Over thirty years of traversing the starry sky, the treasures collected from twenty or thirty star systems, except for those with sentience which Lu Ye spared, were all devoured by the Talent Tree.

After the Fang Blade reached its growth limit, Lu Ye had no other desires except to nurture the Soul-Suppressing Bell for the future.

Therefore, most of the treasures devoured over the past thirty years have transformed into treasure fruit trees, hanging on the talent tree.

As a result, the talent tree underwent a tremendous change. Now, the inheritance he received since his humble beginnings can finally be summoned and reveal its wondrous form.

This is the first time the Talent Tree has been revealed to the public; previously, only Lu Ye, Jin Yao, and Liao had ever seen it.

The impact was immense.

Yang Qing and the Seventh Generation Master both knew that Lu Ye was the successor of the Dao Tree. This inheritance was sent to the starry sky by Yang Qing himself, but he never imagined that the Dao Tree that had truly grown up would be so magnificent and spectacular.

Looking around, the towering tree standing behind Lu Ye was gleaming with golden light, as if it were burning fiercely, with extremely intricate patterns on each leaf.

There were also many strange and unusual fruits hanging on the tree; a rough count revealed that there were no fewer than a hundred of them.

Each and every fruit exudes the aura of a priceless treasure!
Yang Qing even recognized several of the most precious treasures among them...

In a daze, this second-generation ancestor of the Dragon Clan finally understood the source of Lu Ye's confidence in facing the pursuit of five True Saints all by himself for so long.

At that moment, Lu Ye lunged forward, the Dao Tree hanging behind him, and in an instant, he closed the distance with the five True Saints of the enemy.

The Five Saints lacked sentience, but Yuan, who controlled them, was undoubtedly watching the battlefield. When he saw the Dao Tree revealing its presence through the Five Saints' vision, Yuan suddenly had a very bad feeling.

Now that the arrow is on the bowstring and must be released, Lu Ye has been waiting for this day for thirty years. Even if Yuan were to lead the Five Saints away, Lu Ye would not agree to it.

A major battle is inevitable!

The five saints each made their move, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks that swept towards Lu Ye.

Yang Qing, who was following closely behind Lu Ye, looked solemn. If he were at his peak, he would not be afraid of such an attack. However, his physical body had been restored and he was now being punished, making it difficult for him to mobilize external forces, which greatly reduced his strength.

I figured that even a dragon's body wouldn't last a moment under such a combined attack.

If he was like this, then the Seventh Generation Lord, the Master of Life and the Starry Night need not be mentioned. Among them, the Seventh Generation Lord was the strongest, but even he was not confident that he could survive such an offensive.

Lu Ye, however, remained calm and fearless, gently waving his long sword.

In that instant, the world changed. As if a gentle breeze was blowing, the Dao tree hanging behind Lu Ye swayed slightly. Then, a faint light flashed on one of the supreme treasure fruits, which transformed into an attack and blasted forward.

Lu Ye swung his sword again, and another precious fruit unleashed its power.

The third strike, the third supreme fruit flashed with a ghostly light...

In an instant, more than a dozen powerful attacks erupted from the Dao tree behind Lu Ye!

Not only that, Lu Ye continued to swing his sword without stopping, launching a continuous barrage of attacks on the Dao Tree!

The auras of numerous treasures intertwined and became chaotic at this moment, as if they had turned into a big hodgepodge.

With so many supreme treasures unleashed, each possessing different divine power, the Five Saints were stunned, or rather, the Abyss that controlled their physical bodies was stunned.

From ancient times to the present, no one has ever so recklessly unleashed the power of a supreme treasure. Not to mention a half-saint who has reached the Dao, even a true saint would find it difficult to sustain such a waste of his Dao power reserves.

But Lu Ye had no concerns whatsoever.

The Dao power reserves on the Talent Tree are extremely abundant, all for today's battle.

The five saints who had gathered did not dare to confront the attack head-on. They hastily dispersed and each tried to defend against the incoming attacks from afar, and were in a sorry state for a moment.

A glint flashed in Lu Ye's eyes, and he immediately pounced on one of the figures.

Eight Saints!

He was still the strongest member of his own side, facing the weakest member of the enemy. Only in this way could he quickly achieve results.

The golden, burning talent tree suddenly disappeared. It wasn't that Lu Ye's Dao power reserves were insufficient; it was simply that summoning the talent tree in its current form was putting too much strain on him. If he didn't activate the power of those precious fruits, it would be fine, but once he did, Lu Ye's entire essence, energy, and spirit were being rapidly drained.

He had a vague feeling that since his own cultivation level was not yet at the True Saint level, it would be difficult to fully unleash the power of the Dao Tree.

The previous approach was merely to separate the five saints; now that the goal has been achieved, there's no need to force it.

He chose the Eight Saints, and Yang Qing and the others, following the previous plan, each locked onto their own opponents and launched a coordinated attack.

Suddenly, five battle groups erupted into fierce fighting, with the auras of the ten strongest beings in the universe clashing endlessly.

Leaving aside the other battle groups, Lu Ye suddenly clashed with the Eight Saints and attacked without holding back.

No other reason than being in a hurry!
Yang Qing wasn't too worried about the battlefield between himself and the Seventh Generation Lord. Although these two weren't particularly strong now, they had been True Saints for so many years and would be able to deal with their respective opponents in a short time.

It's hard to say about Ke Si's career and Xing Zhou.

Although they have achieved true sainthood and accumulated a century of experience, they are now still subject to the Abyss's punishment, unable to mobilize external forces. Relying solely on their own resources, it is hard to say how long they can hold out against their opponents.

If these two suffer a defeat on the battlefield before Lu Ye achieves any results, it will inevitably lead to extremely dire consequences.

Lu Ye didn't know what race the Eight Saints came from, but he felt that they were probably demons because their demonic aura was very strong, but there seemed to be some auras from other races mixed in.

His most prized possession was an enormous axe, which could cleave even the void itself when swung.

Lu Ye wielded his knife and exchanged several blows with him, but even with his current strength, he couldn't gain much of an advantage!
The Eight Saints' physical body was extremely powerful, and their violent strength was even slightly inferior to Lu Ye's. In addition, they were agile and had strong instincts. After a few strikes, Lu Ye knew that it would not be easy for him to defeat them.

In an instant, Lu Ye unleashed his Soaring Technique, and beneath the dazzling blade light, the power of numerous precious fruits blossomed in turn.

As expected, the suppression was effective. After all, the Eight Saints had no intelligence, and the power of the different treasures made it difficult for him to manage both ends.

Lu Ye secretly activated the power of the Heavenly Needle, intending to launch a sneak attack, but unfortunately, he failed to succeed.

However, it was nothing serious. As the battle progressed, at a certain moment, Lu Ye, whose figure was elusive, suddenly stopped, raised his hand and clenched it tightly towards the location of Ba Sheng, and shouted in a low voice: "Bind!"

Suddenly, transparent threads, like spider silk, appeared in the void.

These spider silk threads seemed to have always existed in this void, and before Lu Ye activated them, they were completely invisible. Not to mention that even a Saint could not detect them, even if there were any intelligent cultivators here, they would not be able to detect them at all.

Each strand of spider silk was permeated with the aura of a supreme treasure, so it was impossible that it had always existed there.

It was arranged by Lu Ye.

His previous swift movements, activating the power of different treasures, were all to conceal the traces of his arrangement of these spider webs.

This spider silk treasure was obtained by Lu Ye by chance in the seventh starry sky. It does not have much killing or protective power, but it has extremely strong binding power.

Moreover, it is extremely well hidden.

After Lu Ye devoured it and realized its wonderful uses, he knew that this thing was a powerful weapon against the True Saints!
Now that the general has been sent out, it has indeed had a remarkable effect.

Even now, Ba Sheng was unaware of anything amiss. He was about to attack Lu Ye with his great axe when the spider silk from all directions began to wrap around and envelop him.

The imposing Eight Saints' actions were suddenly halted. They frantically swung their great axes to protect themselves, intending to cut off the spider silk that was wrapping around them.

However, since they are both treasures, unless the Eighth Saint's great axe has the sharpness of a fang blade, how easy would it be to cut them?
In just two breaths, the Eighth Saint was entangled by the numerous spider silks and was almost unable to move. More spider silks surged in from all directions, binding him into a dumpling.

Lu Ye charged forward, his figure flashing past Ba Sheng as a faint light shone forth.

Blood splattered, and since the start of the battle, the Eighth Saint was finally injured.

However, this guy's physical body was extremely strong, and this strike failed to kill him on the spot.

But this is only the beginning!
Back when Ba Qiu dominated the inner world, powerful figures like Xue Jiu understood one thing: when fighting Ba Qiu, one must never be injured by his weapon, otherwise the situation would only get worse.

Now, Lu Ye wields the Fang Blade, which inherited the power of the Sorrow, and his strength far surpasses that of Ba Qiu in his prime. With Ba Sheng injured and bound, what good can come of him? (End of Chapter)
