Humanity’s Great Sage

A breath later, Lu Ye broke through the encirclement, his body riddled with wounds and looking incredibly miserable, but he finally managed to escape.

"Blood Princess, be careful!" A cultivator exclaimed.

The direction Lu Ye was charging towards was precisely where the Blood Princess was.

She was currently dizzy, extremely weak, and seeing Lu Ye charging towards her, she had no time to react.

As Lu Ye passed by her, the Blood Princess's body swayed slightly.

"How is the Princess?" The cultivator who had spoken earlier immediately came to the Blood Princess's side to check on her, as he had vaguely seen Lu Ye swing his blade at her.

Before he could finish speaking, his expression drastically changed, because a layer of cyan-black energy suddenly surged from the Blood Princess's body, enveloping her entirely. The Blood Princess's original blood-colored eyes had now turned into a murky, turbid color. She raised her eyes to look at the cultivator and mercilessly thrust out a claw.

"Hiss..." The cultivator gasped, retreating and managing to avoid a serious injury, but his heart sank. The Blood Princess's current state clearly indicated that her life force had been extinguished, and she had transformed into a poison zombie!

Lu Ye was still fleeing, pursued by countless troops, their momentum fierce.

Although there were many pursuers, everyone knew that after Xue Jiu retreated, the blood barrier technique surrounding the area had become ineffective. This prison had vanished, and they would likely have no means to restrain Lu Ye.

However, to the pursuers' surprise, Lu Ye did not rush to escape. Instead, he kept circling around in this area.

This left many pursuers confused, completely unaware of what he was trying to do.

It wasn't until half an incense stick's time later that Lu Ye suddenly stopped.

At this moment, almost half of the flesh on his body was missing, his clothes were tattered, and golden Dao bones were exposed from his many wounds.

Yet, he was full of vigor, his face fierce, and he pointed his blade at the pursuers: "You like chasing? Then come and fight!"

This scene made the pursuers even more puzzled.

But the next moment, everyone's face changed.

Because in the closest Dao Harmonization city to Lu Ye, the blood-soaked Taikun, wrapped in cyan-black energy, charged out from the ruined city. Behind Taikun, numerous Dao Harmonization and Dao Fusion poison zombies closely followed.

These were clearly the cultivators of this Dao Harmonization city, transformed into poison zombies after being killed.

Streams of cyan-black energy flew out from the Dao Harmonization cities, converging into a small stream.

Behind Lu Ye, countless cyan-black streams converged from the Dao Harmonization cities, turning into a large cyan-black river, surging forth.

In that river, all were the figures of cultivators originally belonging to the Insect and Blood Races, their numbers simply uncountable!

Fei Huang screamed shrilly, "You can control them?"

They had already witnessed that cultivators who died after being poisoned would turn into poison zombies, but they never knew that Lu Ye had the means and ability to control these poison zombies.

They had only assumed that the actions of those poison zombies were all instinctual.

Fei Huang barely hesitated, turning into a stream of light and fleeing.

However, a bolt of lightning like a dragon struck from the side, scattering the stream of light and revealing Fei Huang's embarrassed figure.

He turned his head to look, his eyes reflecting the figure of the Blood Princess wielding a spear and charging towards him.

Although this Blood Clan princess had turned into a poison zombie, no one dared to damage her body, because she was Xue Jiu's most beloved person. Xue Jiu could ignore her life or death, but no one else could.

Therefore, after she turned into a poison zombie, no one dared to stop her in the slightest.

The violent power of lightning slightly paralyzed Fei Huang, but he was still confident that he could escape from this dangerous environment.

Because he had absolute confidence in his speed.

The void was suddenly distorted, and a streak of blade light attacked from the side. Fei Huang was terrified. Without even looking, he knew that he had been targeted by Lu Ye.

"Damn it!" He bit the tip of his tongue, and at the cost of his blood essence, he narrowly avoided this strike.

He had just stabilized his figure when another streak of blade light attacked from the front.

He gritted his teeth and roared, frantically urging his Dao power, raising his Dao weapon to block.

A violent force struck, and his entire body was blasted away.

He wanted to take advantage of the force to escape, but the Blood Princess's lightning power attacked again, forcing him to protect himself first.

Fei Huang's face was full of bitterness. He was no match for Lu Ye in a one-on-one fight, let alone with the addition of the Blood Princess, whose strength was not inferior to his.

Admittedly, the strength displayed by the Blood Princess was much weaker than in her normal state, but he himself was unable to exert his full strength.

Because as he exerted his strength, the poison in his body became more and more active. This poison seemed to be able to devour Dao power and strengthen itself!

What kind of poison is this? Fei Huang searched his memories, but found that he had never heard of such an outrageous thing.

This poison was even more terrifying and troublesome than the lotus seed poison.

In a desperate situation, Fei Huang could no longer worry about anything else. He could only fight desperately, fighting Lu Ye and the Blood Princess alone. His heart was full of bitterness, and he thought to himself that this was truly a turn of the tables. Before, he, Taikun, and Yu Ting had joined forces to deal with Lu Ye, but who would have thought that more than a month later, he would have to face a similar situation.

And compared to Lu Ye at that time, the situation was even worse.

During the fierce battle, Fei Huang discovered that neither Lu Ye nor the Blood Princess were trying to kill him, only to injure him. How could he not understand Lu Ye's intention?

This was clearly to preserve his body and turn him into a poison zombie like the Blood Princess, for easy control.

He repeatedly wanted to perish together, but he didn't have the resolute courage.

The strength of his resistance became weaker and weaker, but the cyan-black energy on his body became thicker and thicker.

Until a certain moment, Fei Huang's eyes turned into a turbid, cyan-black color. Under Lu Ye's control, he joined forces with the Blood Princess to attack the battlefield.

Lu Ye turned his head to look. At this moment, a violent zombie horde was fighting against the Dao Harmonization army of the Insect and Blood Races. Poison zombies were constantly being blasted apart, suffering heavy casualties. However, the Dao Harmonization cultivators of the Insect and Blood Races also paid a considerable price.

Dao Harmonization cultivators were constantly turning into poison zombies, thereby joining the zombie horde.

Therefore, although the scale of the zombie horde was shrinking, the overall level was slowly increasing.

Under such circumstances, the Dao Harmonization cultivators of the Insect and Blood Races had to suppress the poison in their bodies while fighting the poison zombies, which was indeed a difficult situation.

Some Dao Harmonization cultivators, seeing that the situation was not good, began to flee.

The overall situation was set!

Seeing this, Lu Ye turned around and headed towards the nearest Dao Harmonization city.

There were too many Dao Harmonization cities that had been breached nearby, all caused by the outbreak of the zombie horde. In Lu Ye's eyes, this was simply a piece of fragrant fat, making him drool.

He certainly wanted to kill more enemies, but such a chance to pick up free stuff was rare, so he naturally had to cherish it.

This was a Wilderness-grade city. Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Ye wanted to break through, he would have to spend a lot of effort, but at this moment, this city had become an empty city. Even the protective array had stopped operating, leaving it defenseless against him.

He quickly came to the central hall, shattered the Dao Harmonization Pearl, and used a package to collect the many fragments.

Then came the second city, the third city...

As he scoured one Dao Harmonization city after another, the Dao Harmonization Pearl fragments in his package increased.

Lu Ye only felt that the wounds all over his body no longer hurt, and his mood was extremely happy.

After rushing out of another Dao Harmonization city, Lu Ye raised his eyes and looked to the side, and his eyes lit up.

That was a towering giant city, it should be Taikun's Dao Harmonization city!

This was a Cosmos-grade city. If he could seize the Dao Harmonization Pearl inside, then the fragments he obtained would be able to satisfy his inner world secret technique to the eighth level!

However, a Cosmos-grade city was, after all, a Cosmos-grade city. Unlike other Dao Harmonization cities, the protective array of Taikun City was still in operation, and there were many figures watching from afar within the city.

These were clearly the Dao Harmonization cultivators who remained in the city.

They were strong enough to kill all the poison zombies at the first time during the outbreak of the zombie horde. Now, only these Dao Harmonization cultivators were left in the city.

Even so, such a protective array of a Cosmos-grade city was not something that Lu Ye could break through.

But why would Lu Ye need to break the array himself?

He just moved his mind, and Taikun, who was fighting on the battlefield, quickly flew towards him, heading straight for his own Dao Harmonization city.

Although Taikun had turned into a poison zombie, he was, after all, the city lord of Taikun City before his death, and the protective array was ineffective against him.

Therefore, when he rushed into Taikun City without any obstruction, intending to kill towards the central hall, the faces of the many Dao Harmonization cultivators in the city changed drastically, and they all took action to stop him.

The war began.

Lu Ye waited quietly.

As long as Taikun could shatter the Dao Harmonization Pearl in the city, then he could rush in at the first time to intercept those fragments.

He was full of anticipation.

But at this moment, Lu Ye suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the deepest part of the Blood Origin Sea. In that direction, the aura of the Starry Sky Chessboard inexplicably had a huge outbreak. The thick blood mist could not block the light of the treasure's outbreak, as if a sun had exploded in it.

Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, feeling uneasy.

The reason why he dared to act so unscrupulously here was firstly because he was using the power of the zombie horde, and secondly because he was certain that Xue Jiu was unable to spare any attention at the moment.

He couldn't even care about the life or death of the Blood Princess just now, and left at the first time after noticing that there was an abnormality on the main body's side.

But right now, something obviously happened on the Starry Sky Chessboard's side.

Just as Lu Ye was wondering, a stream of light suddenly swept out from the depths of the blood mist in his vision, and the rich aura of the treasure quickly approached.

The Starry Sky Chessboard!

This guy escaped!

Lu Ye's eyelids jumped.

This was really bad.

He didn't expect that the Starry Sky Chessboard actually had the ability to escape from Xue Jiu's hands. This was not what he wanted to see, because if Xue Jiu couldn't refine the Starry Sky Chessboard, then he would inevitably point the finger at him.

He had to leave quickly!

Regardless of the situation of the confrontation between Xue Jiu and the Starry Sky Chessboard, he couldn't continue to stay here before Xue Jiu could free himself.
