Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1537 - 1535: The Might of the Silver Coin

Although Lu Ye was not sure about the exact location of the heart, if his previous speculation was correct, as long as he followed the largest passageway all the way forward, he would reach the heart's location.

Sure enough, after a day, Lu Ye and the others suddenly entered a huge chamber, much larger than any space they had encountered before, and its shape was very strange, resembling a gigantic heart upon closer inspection.

Unfortunately, Lu Ye didn't make any special discoveries here. However, there were traces left by others who had been here before, as there were some Tengu star beast corpses remaining in this place.

After a brief search, Lu Ye was preparing to head back, but suddenly paused, focusing his gaze ahead.

Lih Shang sensed something as well and stopped in his tracks.

Although Duu Lang did not know what was wrong, judging by Lu Ye's stance, he knew the situation was not good. He quietly gathered his spirit force, looking vigilant.

Footsteps suddenly echoed from the front, followed by several figures appearing.

It seemed like quite a few people had the same idea as Lu Ye; someone had explored here before, and now more were arriving.

A moment later, as they came face to face, the leader among the three on the opposite side recognized Lu Ye, first freezing before getting furious: "It's you!"

As he spoke, Lu Ye also recognized these three people.

Though he didn't know their background, they had previously teamed up to fight a Moon Jade star beast. At that time, Lu Ye was isolated and targeted by the Moon Jade star beast, forcing him to flee and escape. During the escape, he utilized the power of these three to block the pursuing Moon Jade star beast.

The three came from the same school and could form an array, displaying considerable power. It turned out their array was quite decent. Although the Moon Jade star beast broke through their formation with brute force, they were not at risk of losing their lives. Later, they received timely support from Luo Shenzhi, and there were no casualties.

For Lu Ye at that time, it was an act of desperation, but for the three, Lu Ye had undeniably drawn disaster onto them. Therefore, the leader at that time didn't hesitate to slash at Lu Ye, but in the end, couldn't harm him.

Past events were in the past, and now everyone was exploring for opportunities within the Tengu Star. Encountering each other was one thing, but meeting again, naturally, they were not pleased with Lu Ye.

After recognizing Lu Ye, the faces of the three were filled with hostility, and the leader in particular unsheathed his curved saber, his spirit force surging violently, without concealing his intent to kill.

Duu Lang's expression changed: "Yuk Jin, what do you intend?"

Lu Ye did not know these people, but Duu Lang did, as they all came from the Indeterminate Star System. Yuk Jin and his companions hailed from a very powerful domain, and their capabilities were exceptional. Especially in this situation, they could form an array, and if it came to a fight, Duu Lang believed they would surely be no match.

Yuk Jin's expression was indifferent: "Since you've come here, don't ask such childish questions." He slowly raised his curved saber, pointing it at Lu Ye: "Let's settle the previous debt!"

Lu Ye suddenly floated back, distancing himself from them, even wrapping his spirit force around Lih Shang and Duu Lang as he floated back.

Seeing this, Yuk Jin thought Lu Ye was afraid of him, sneering with disdain: "No wonder Red Sky has fallen to such a state today, inhabited entirely by those who covet life and fear death!"

Duu Lang clenched his fists in rage, but did not dare to retort, knowing that if they didn't provoke the other side, there might still be a slim chance of survival. If they truly angered them, they would surely meet a deadly end, and in this place, being killed meant no one would bring justice.

"Be careful!" Lu Ye suddenly spoke.

Yuk Jin froze: "What?"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly sensed a huge threat approaching from behind, accompanied by a dense, bloody odor. As he hastily turned his head to look back, he saw a massive figure emerging from the shadows, its gaping maw lunging at the two sect brothers behind him.

Yuk Jin was terrified, quickly shouting: "Get out of the way!"

However, it was ultimately too late.

As the jaws closed, terrible screams erupted, followed by the sounds of chewing and bones shattering, instantly extinguishing two life forces.

Yuk Jin's forehead was covered in cold sweat, having never expected to be so unlucky to encounter this wounded Moon Jade star beast. Evidently, this star beast had been hiding here, unnoticed when they arrived.

At this moment, the grievously injured Moon Jade star beast was blocking the path behind him just ten feet away, its gruesome maw chewing, blood flowing down its corner. Quickly realizing he wasn't this star beast's opponent, Yuk Jin swiftly moved forward.

However, the Moon Jade star beast moved faster. A shadow suddenly darted out from behind it, and Yuk Jin's body froze. He struggled to lower his gaze, only to find something like an arrow piercing through his chest, carrying the Moon Jade star beast's aura and vitality—it was unmistakably its tail.

"Save..." Yuk Jin despairingly reached out to Lu Ye, like grasping for a straw to clutch at life. The Moon Jade star beast's arrow-like tail flicked, pulling Yuk Jin back, tossing him into its maw for a round of chewing.

In a flash, three Constellation met their demise.

Duu Lang watched, his scalp tingling with fear. He had previously only participated in besieging Constellation-level star beasts and had never directly faced the terror of the Moon Jade star beast. Only now did he understand the true horror of the Moon Jade star beast.

And this was just a severely injured Moon Jade star beast...

Finally understanding why Lu Ye suddenly stopped moving forward, Duu Lang had thought he sensed the arrival of Yuk Jin and the others. Now it seemed, what he sensed was likely the hidden Moon Jade star beast!

The arrival of Yuk Jin and the other two was merely an accident.

Now that Yuk Jin and the other two were dead, the three of them were trapped in this heart chamber, fearing they too would soon follow in Yuk Jin's footsteps.

Knowing his death was certain, Duu Lang instead relaxed, his whole being easing up. For years, he had lived under others' roofs, always having to read the mood, leading to a rather depressing existence. Dying like this didn't seem all that unacceptable.

In front of Duu Lang, Lu Ye gazed at the Moon Jade star beast, quietly assessing his current strength, deciding that it would be prudent not to take risks.

Although with Lih Shang's Soul Possession blessing, he might manage to battle a Moon Jade Early Stage with all his might, this star beast was ultimately a Moon Jade Mid-Stage. Even severely wounded, its ferocity was more intense. Fighting such a star beast in such a confined space was far from wise.

Upon this thought, Lu Ye silently took out his Silver Coin. Whether its power was as strong as he imagined would only be known by trying.

The Moon Jade star beast, after devouring Yuk Jin and the others, was still unsatisfied. It roared and charged toward where Lu Ye was standing, like a mountain collapsing.

And yet suddenly, a silver light burst from Lu Ye's hand and shot toward it.

It was unfortunate for the star beast; it was actually quite fast. If this was the vast stellar space, this silver light might not have been able to hit it. But the narrow environment limited its space for maneuvering. Upon seeing the silver light, the star beast intended to dodge but ultimately couldn't avoid it due to the terrain.

The silver light struck its lower abdomen, causing it not even a hint of harm...

But the star beast acted as if struck by lightning, its agile figure suddenly becoming unbearably heavy, crashing down with a boom. The silver light on its lower abdomen spread like mercury, enveloping it in a layer of silver light in the blink of an eye. From afar, it appeared as if it had become a giant beast cast in silver.

It maintained a posture with its foreclaws outstretched, its Sharpness-tipped claws trembling slightly, as if wrestling against some power but unable to shake free. Its eyes turned completely blood-red, full of violence and rage.

Lu Ye clicked his tongue in wonder.

Though he had personally experienced the power of the treasure coin before, back then it was a bronze light, completely different from this silver light, so Lu Ye couldn't be sure what kind of power the treasure coin could wield in this instance.

Despite estimating it as high as possible, it still fell short of the treasure coin's prowess.

He had thought that at most, the treasure coin would slow the Moon Jade star beast's actions, but he didn't expect it to be directly immobilized.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't immobilization but a kind of miraculous sealing!

Not only was Lu Ye amazed, Duu Lang was utterly dumbfounded, and so was Lih Shang, both with eyes wide and mouths agape.

Under their astonished gazes, Lu Ye slowly approached, walking up to the Moon Jade star beast, standing almost inside its gaping maw, causing cold sweat to break out on Duu Lang's back.

He touched the Moon Jade star beast before him, feeling a silvery texture under his hand, which was quite peculiar.

Then he leapt onto the Moon Jade star beast's back, and looking around, saw that its back was littered with wounds, both large and small, deep and shallow, but since their previous battle was days ago, given the Moon Jade star beast's physique, these wounds were already healing.

Lu Ye found a relatively large wound, drew out his Boulder Mountain Saber, and with the Divine Sharp Edge Spirit Runes enhancing it, a gleam flickered across the blade as he slashed down fiercely!

The blade sank three inches into flesh, blood splattering!

Lu Ye, however, felt a numbness in his hand...

The physique of a Moon Jade Mid-Stage star beast was astonishingly strong, and the effect of his strike was minimal.

Stimulated by the slash, the Moon Jade star beast's might exploded fully, but under the silver sealing, it couldn't move at all. Besides making Lu Ye a bit uncomfortable, it had no other substantial effect.

Lu Ye raised and lowered his saber, hacking away one cut after another.

After over a hundred consecutive chops, he finally sliced open the Moon Jade star beast's body, revealing its insides. The burst of violent force made Lu Ye steamy all over, as if his blood inside was surging like a great river.

Duu Lang stared blankly, finding it hard to believe such an absurd event could occur without witnessing it firsthand. A powerful Moon Jade star beast was somehow sealed immobile by a mysterious force and then hacked to death by a Constellation...

It wasn't until long after that the Moon Jade star beast's life force slowly dissipated, its blood-red eyes overflowing with anger and reluctance.
