Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1535 - 1533: Besieged

In an instant, the cultivators of one team led a Moon Jade star beast into the big array, each of them in a panic.

Originally, this team had ten or more people, but now only five are left alive. The others were all struck down by the Moon Jade star beast during their retreat, even those in the Constellation Late Stage struggled to withstand the beast's attacks, often ending up dead or maimed.

The power of the big array was instantly activated, and countless dazzling lights enveloped the Moon Jade star beast. Not only that, many cultivators hidden within the array also deployed various techniques, attacking the star beast.

Lu Ye was among them, slashing out crescent-shaped saber lights, displaying the standard expected of someone in the Constellation Late Stage.

The Moon Jade star beast clearly didn't expect to be ambushed by so many people and suffered some minor setbacks in the surprise attack, angrily growling, its massive body rampaging recklessly through the array.

In an instant, chaos ensued everywhere it went, wherever the star beast rampaged, cultivators in that area met with bad luck.

On the other side, the second Moon Jade star beast faced almost the same situation, both battlefields were ablaze, intensely fierce.

The cultivators dealing only with Constellation star beasts were relatively more relaxed. For one, Constellation star beasts had limited strength, and for another, there were many cultivators. Therefore, compared to the battlefields with Moon Jade star beasts, the battles involving Constellation star beasts were relatively stable, requiring steady and relentless attacks to openly resolve them.

The cultivators in the two Moon Jade star beast battlefields had it tough. Although star beasts generally had low spiritual intelligence, Moon Jade beasts were after all Moon Jade beasts, their strength and physique far exceeding those of Constellations. Even with the assistance of the pre-arranged big array, the scene was perilous, with some suffering injuries at unlucky moments and occasionally dying in battle.

Luo Shenzhi, worthy of being the strongest Constellation of the four galaxies, wielded a golden long spear with unparalleled power, his figure also extremely agile, often unexpectedly leaving wounds on the Moon Jade star beast.

Lu Ye watched silently, feeling that if Luo Shenzhi had participated in the Constellation Palace, he should have easily secured a place within the top hundred.

This guy indeed possessed considerable power.

Though Luo Shenzhi managed to wound the Moon Jade star beast, the difference in cultivation was too vast. He encountered the same issue Lu Ye had faced against Blood Hero; the Moon Jade star beast's physique was too strong, with those injuries having little effect, instead intensifying the beast's fury.

The situation was unfavorable to the cultivators, yet no one retreated. Opportunity lay ahead; only by overcoming these two Moon Jade star beasts could they seize it. This was the best opportunity in a century.

Lu Ye continued to calmly slash out saber lights, exhibiting considerable power, though the effectiveness was uncertain. It wasn't that he feared for his life, but in such an environment where he fought alone without the conveniences of others, he naturally needed to be more cautious.

Others, including Luo Shenzhi, had familiar comrades collaborating with them. Even if unable to form an array, they understood the art of cooperation, capable of covering for each other in attack or retreat. Those who could form arrays were even better off, surpassing other cultivators in both offense and self-preservation.

Lu Ye even had time to investigate the situation of other battlefields. He saw Duu Lang encircled by a group of Constellations attacking those Constellation star beasts. Although Duu Lang wasn't very powerful, he seemed inconspicuous within the crowd and should be fine if cautious.

He noticed that the other Moon Jade star beast battlefield was in a worse situation compared to his.

Having Luo Shenzhi on his side meant he bore about twenty percent of the pressure, making the situation much better. However, the other battlefield lacked such a powerful individual, appearing chaotic, with the Moon Jade star beast rampaging wildly, several people already unlucky enough to die in the fight.

While silently observing, Lu Ye's expression suddenly turned serious, as he focused ahead to see a huge figure charging towards him, mouth wide open. An intense suction force emanated from that gaping maw.

Lu Ye frowned, unsure why he was so unlucky to be targeted by this Moon Jade star beast. He was clearly just hiding on the side, unleashing saber lights.

But with a quick thought, he figured he wasn't necessarily unlucky; the Moon Jade star beast knew to pick on the weak. Everyone else had companions to coordinate with; he was alone. Who else would the Moon Jade star beast target but him?

Lu Ye hastily maneuvered his body to dodge. Though the powerful suction force from the Moon Jade star beast's mouth couldn't draw Lu Ye into it, it certainly affected his ability to move.

Only then did Lu Ye understand why some who seemed strong were so easily defeated by the Moon Jade star beast; this was the reason behind it.

Desperately channeling his spirit force, he narrowly avoided the beast's snapping jaws, yet before regaining his footing, a sense of danger stalked his rear like a maggot clinging to the bone. Without needing to look, Lu Ye knew the star beast was hunting him down.

With no choice, he had to continuously dodge.

Luo Shenzhi's eyes lit up, shouting: "Fellow Daoist, well done, keep it this way and restrain it!"

As he spoke, the golden spear vibrated, shooting out like a dragon, piercing into the star beast's body. Yet this thrust only buried half a foot deep, failing to inflict an effective injury on the star beast.

Others seized the opportunity, unleashing powerful techniques, spraying the star beast with blood, appearing grievously wounded, but in truth, only inciting its ferocity.

The star beast roared and howled, its movements growing quicker, certainly not stopping until it killed Lu Ye.

Lu Ye cursed his bad luck, although he was agile, he was only able to delay the star beast briefly. Any mistake would mean certain doom over a prolonged period.

Realizing the star beast truly targeted him alone, Lu Ye dared not hesitate, rushing toward one direction.

In that direction, several cultivators from the same sect formed an array, looking quite impressive.

Seeing Lu Ye rushing towards them, the leading cultivator's face changed, and he shouted angrily, "Get lost!" While speaking, a curved blade in his hand had already slashed down. As the spirit force surged, the blade suddenly shimmered brilliantly, revealing a giant saber light, bursting forth with full force.

If Lu Ye had hailed from another domain, this person truly wouldn't dare to make such a ruthless move in front of so many people.

But since Lu Ye had previously declared himself from Red Sky, it made the cultivator have no scruples. The situation of Red Sky is well known among the four galaxies; it is currently the weakest domain among them, so if he kills him, likely, no one will come to trouble him.

As the giant saber light fell, this cultivator didn't even have time to see Lu Ye's fate. The curved blade in his hand was already wildly swinging towards the Moon Jade star beast charging over.

Though they had formed an array, allowing them to exert power beyond their capabilities, they were ultimately somewhat lacking. As the Moon Jade star beast collided, the saber light shattered, and several figures flew out, each vomiting blood, and the array broke without attack.

The star beast wanted to annihilate them completely, but Luo Shenzhi had already rushed over, finally saving them in a critical moment.

Cultivators from all four directions joined forces again, fighting fiercely against the raging star beast.

Lu Ye finally truly experienced the might of the Moon Jade star beast. Although he has killed a few Moon Jades before, each time has been opportunistic, mostly relying on external force—either by ambushing heavily injured opponents or using special means to suppress them but never conducting such a direct confrontation with fire and sword.

This time, he witnessed the fearsome power of the Moon Jade. Yet, this is just a star beast that doesn't seem particularly unique.

The cultivators from the four galaxies, despite their collective efforts, still couldn't do anything to the beast, their strength gap was too wide.

Others also noticed the tenacity of this star beast. After such an intense battle, many were already wounded, and a few unlucky ones had died. With the star beast's power growing even more ferocious, they couldn't help but feel compelled to retreat.

Luo Shenzhi noticed this, shouted loudly, "Hold on, don't slacken!"

With his call, even those considering retreat felt they couldn't just leave.

However, the situation soon improved because as more Constellation star beasts fell, more cultivators were freed up to join the siege of the two Moon Jade star beasts.

It should be noted that Luo Shenzhi had gathered about a thousand people; all of them were Constellations, among them were many in the Constellation Late Stage. When on average, several hundred besiege one Moon Jade star beast, no matter how vast the strength disparity, the Moon Jade star beast couldn't withstand it.

The stellar space battlefields grew ever more lively, as more people joined, the plight of the two Moon Jade star beasts became increasingly dire.

Despite the limited damage Constellations could inflict upon them, so many people perfectly illustrated the saying that many ants can bite an elephant to death.

No matter how low the spiritual intelligence of these two star beasts, they instinctively understood to seek advantage and avoid harm. Sensing danger, they immediately turned tail to flee toward Planet Tengu, along the way, no one dared to forcibly stop them.

Luo Shenzhi's eyes flickered with severity, knowing that slaying these two star beasts was achievable now. So many had paid such a high price to corner them into this state, if it was all for naught, all past efforts would be wasted.

He immediately shouted, "Fellow Daoists, if you don't fight now, when will you?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and released a red light, frantically urging his spirit force into it.

A mighty aura blossomed from the red light.

Lu Ye turned his head to look and instantly recognized the red light as a red talisman!

However, judging by its aura, the talisman was not from the Dwarf Race, just an ordinary red talisman.

So even though the talisman was crafted by a Sun Blaze expert, its power was discounted when a Constellation like Luo Shenzhi wielded it.

Unlike the red talismans from the Dwarf Race, which can be nurtured, growing stronger over time.

Just like when Lu Ye as a Constellation Early Stage cultivator activated a red talisman, he only needed one strike to kill a Moon Jade.

Now he's in the Constellation Late Stage, and the talisman has been nurtured in his body for several years; should he activate it, there's absolutely no opponent under Sun Blaze!

As for whether it can harm a Sun Blaze level opponent... the chance is probably slim.

Seeing Luo Shenzhi even offering such a precious item like a red talisman, others with similar strengths were no longer stingy, each employing their methods.
