Humanity’s Great Sage

Sinking, constantly sinking, his figure completely beyond his control.

It wasn't until a certain moment that this sinking feeling suddenly disappeared.

The surrounding view cleared, and Lu Ye abruptly regained his senses.

His body was enveloped by a chilling coldness, and he turned his head to look around, his face filled with astonishment, because at this moment he was actually floating up from a body of water.

This was very strange, because he had clearly felt himself constantly falling downwards, but as a result, he was floating up from underwater; just now, during that period of time, all of his senses had been misaligned.

Turning his head to look around, he saw nothing but boundlessness. The location he was in seemed to be above a vast sea, and in his field of vision, there were only a few scattered islands.

Where is this?

Lu Ye was utterly bewildered. He was clearly just in a certain location within the Inner World, escaping from Blood Gu's pursuit. How could he have arrived at this place in the blink of an eye?

The location he was in seemed to be a realm.

Lu Ye turned his head to look and immediately saw a dripping wet head, just like him a moment ago, emerging from beneath the surface of the sea.

Blood Gu!

This guy actually followed him here... …

Lu Ye felt extremely helpless. He had clearly already activated the might of the Talent Tree and incinerated the power that Blood Gu had invaded into his body. According to reason, Blood Gu's secret technique that allowed him to follow like a shadow should have lost its effect.

But Blood Gu still followed him into this inexplicable realm, landing on this vast sea together.

Blood Gu had just emerged when he suddenly sensed a murderous aura assailing him before he even had time to survey his surroundings. Turning his head, he saw Lu Ye already charging over with his saber, the dazzling saber light close at hand.

"Bastard!" Blood Gu roared in anger, his figure shooting out of the water, his body surging with blood mist, transforming into a giant blood hand that covered Lu Ye.

In the next moment, both Lu Ye and Blood Gu frowned.

This was because both of them felt that something was not quite right.

However, with the exchange about to begin, neither of them had time to think more about it. In an instant, the two figures collided in one place, blood light and saber light erupted, and a huge pit immediately appeared on the surface of the sea, the seawater churning.

During the brief exchange of blows, the confusion in Lu Ye's heart grew more and more.

Not only was that feeling of something being wrong becoming more obvious, but the strength that Blood Gu was displaying was also much weaker than before.

The reason he ambushed Blood Gu was not because he wanted to do anything to this Blood Master. The difference in strength between them was obvious. Even with an ambush, Lu Ye knew that he had no chance of succeeding.

He only wanted to catch Blood Gu off guard and then take the opportunity to continue his escape.

Who knew that at this moment he would actually notice that Blood Gu's strength had greatly weakened? This undoubtedly made him feel pleasantly surprised!

During the exchange of blows, he could clearly perceive that Blood Gu was still stronger than him, but the gap between them was no longer so large.

Previously, he was able to continuously escape Blood Gu's pursuit by relying on the power of the Starry Sky Chessboard, which allowed him to delay time again and again. If he didn't have the treasure of the Starry Sky Chessboard, Lu Ye would have run out of steam long ago.

But if the difference in strength between them was only to this extent, Lu Ye thought to himself that even if he was still not Blood Gu's opponent, Blood Gu would have to pay a considerable price to take him down.

Why had Blood Gu's strength weakened so much?

He was not injured, nor had he been suppressed in any way. According to reason, it shouldn't be like this.

Gradually, Lu Ye realized where the problem lay. The external force that Blood Gu was borrowing seemed to be very different from before. This was originally a part of his strength, but now that there was a difference, his strength naturally became weaker compared to before.

In other words, Blood Gu could borrow less external force.

But why was this the case?

While his thoughts were racing, the two figures fought and moved, and along the way, the sea was filled with turbulent waves.

"Wait!" Blood Gu suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Lu Ye completely ignored him, his offensive becoming even more ferocious. He was at a disadvantage fighting against a stronger opponent, but the situation was much better than before.

During the battle, the two of them fought to a nearby island.

Seeing Lu Ye being so unrelenting, Blood Gu was extremely annoyed, but he had no choice but to restrain himself.

Lu Ye was fearless in his ignorance, but Blood Gu had his concerns.

After another fierce collision, Blood Gu slightly reduced his strength, and the two figures suddenly stalemated, close to each other.

"Boy, stop!" Blood Gu stared at Lu Ye's eyes, "Don't you think this place is a little strange?"

Of course Lu Ye had noticed it. He had this feeling from the moment he started fighting, and at this moment, this feeling was becoming more and more intense.

"What do you want to say?" Lu Ye exerted force to press the long saber forward. Blood Gu seemed to have lost much of his fighting spirit, but he couldn't rule out that this was a disguise, so he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

Blood Gu shook his head: "It seems you don't know anything."

Lu Ye frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Heh heh..." Blood Gu suddenly smiled. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look in one direction.

At the same time, Lu Ye also looked in that direction.

A hint of fear flashed in both of their eyes at the same time.

This was because in that direction, an aura was rapidly approaching. Its speed was beyond comprehension, and although the aura was faint, the power contained within it was something that no one dared to ignore.

The one coming was definitely a very powerful guy!

In the next instant, Lu Ye sheathed his saber, and Blood Gu also quickly restrained his own aura. The two of them, without prior agreement, transformed into a streak of blood light and swept towards the same direction.

There was a place to hide over there.

Midway, Lu Ye and Blood Gu exchanged glances, both seeing what the other was thinking - an unknown powerhouse was about to arrive, so let's stop fighting for now!

This was undoubtedly a wise choice. The unknown was ultimately frightening. Compared to facing the unknown, both Lu Ye and Blood Gu were more willing to face each other.

In the next instant, the two of them hid together in that hiding place.

Lu Ye quickly restrained his aura, and Dao patterns covered his body. Blood Gu also used the Blood Concealment Technique, and his whole person almost faded to the point of disappearing.

He turned his head and glanced at Lu Ye, seeming to feel a little uneasy. With a slight exertion of force, he covered Lu Ye with the power of the Blood Concealment Technique.

Lu Ye glanced at him leisurely, knowing in his heart that this Blood Master was not being kind, but was just afraid that he would be exposed and then implicate him.

However, it had to be said that the Blood Master's Blood Concealment Technique was indeed exquisite and unparalleled. If he didn't know that Blood Gu was by his side, he would hardly be able to detect him.

However, the more this was the case, the heavier Lu Ye's heart became.

He didn't know who was coming, but even a City Lord like Blood Gu was so fearful of him, so the strength of the one coming was clearly even greater than he imagined.

Two breaths later, accompanied by the sound of air being torn, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the small island.

Lu Ye and Blood Gu remained motionless, as if they were dead. They could clearly perceive that a pair of eyes was looking down, examining and probing, scanning every inch of the entire small island.

After a brief pause, the sound of air being torn rang out again, quickly moving away and disappearing.

Lu Ye gently exhaled. These short few breaths were like passing a few years. Blood Gu beside him was also obviously much more relaxed.

However, in the next moment, the figures of the two suddenly stiffened.

In front of the place where the two were hiding, the void cracked open without warning, and then a slender figure stepped out from it, standing directly in front of the two.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Ye's long saber slashed out, his entire body surging with Dao power, and Blood Gu also attacked fiercely, his hand transforming into a sharp claw that pierced through space.

Lu Ye's full-strength strike landed on that figure, but it didn't even shake the other person's protective Dao power in the slightest.

Although Blood Gu's strike was more powerful than his, it also didn't cause the slightest ripple.

That slender figure stood in place like a stubborn rock, motionless.

Both Lu Ye and the Blood Master felt incredible, because with the combined strike of the two of them at this moment, even Ba Qiu in person wouldn't be able to remain so indifferent.

Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his head, wanting to see who this person was.

What he saw made his expression stagnant.

This was because he recognized the one who came!

Or rather, had seen before.

Her beautiful hair fluttered, and her face was not clearly visible, only because she wore a mask with a white background and red characters on her face. The large character "Seven" on it was like a fresh blood casting, making people look as if a monstrous sea of blood was assailing them, making them look fearful.

Why was she here? Lu Ye's mind was full of doubts.

Since the Star Abyss Child selection that year, Lu Ye had never seen this person again. However, he had seen one of her companions not long ago, that Three, and had even been cut and injured by him. That injury had not completely healed until the Talent Tree completed its transformation.

Without a doubt, Seven and Three were definitely in the same gang, and they were all minions of that will.

A sense of crisis arose greatly in Lu Ye's heart, and he felt that he was afraid that he would have to explain it here today.

He didn't know how strong Seven's strength was, but he had learned the methods of that Three, which he couldn't contend with at the moment.

The Blood Gu beside him was also twitching at the corners of his eyes, his face full of fear and dread. He had vaguely discerned the identity of the one in front of him.

However, just when both Lu Ye and the Blood Master thought that they would be difficult to escape today, they suddenly felt that a certain bloodline in their bodies had some changes.

That was the bloodline of the Phoenix Clan!

Lu Ye had the status of an outer member of the Phoenix Clan, and Blood Gu had even captured and killed several Phoenix Clan members in the past, seizing the bloodlines of those Phoenix Clan members.

And at this moment, the part of the Phoenix Clan belonging to the two bloodlines seemed to be resonating with something.

The source of the resonance was the Seven in front of him!

Lu Ye suddenly remembered that Su Yan had once said that this Seven was a senior of the Phoenix Clan, so she was a true pure-blooded Phoenix Clan!

And this kind of resonance was obviously Seven's method.

Under that mask, there seemed to be a pair of eyes examining Lu Ye and Blood Gu.

Neither of them dared to breathe, and both of them were frozen in place, humbly like ants waiting for the judgment of fate.

After a long while, Lu Ye felt that the change in his body disappeared.

The figure in front of him flashed, the sound of air being torn rang out, and Seven's aura quickly moved away and soon disappeared.
