Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1597 - 1595: Sun Blaze Falls

The battle progressed extremely smoothly, with the Constellation cultivators having the upper hand on the battlefield, and the Moon Jade cultivators also either containing or suppressing the Insect Race's Moon Jade.

This time, the four galaxies joined forces, and the number of cultivators dispatched, whether at the Sun Blaze or Moon Jade level, far outnumbered the Insect Race. This led to all the Insect Race Moon Jades being closely watched, allowing the Constellation cultivators to unleash their full potential, to the point where some Moon Jade cultivators, not finding suitable opponents, could only bully the Constellation Insect Race with their superior strength.

When Moon Jade faces Constellation, naturally it's a matter of killing as they please.

In just a short time of one incense stick's time since the battle started, nearly thirty percent of the Insect Race was dead or injured, with even some Moon Jade Insect Race falling in battle. Under such circumstances, the Insect Race's situation became even worse.

Lu Ye swept through the vast battlefield, bringing death wherever he went. He even set his sights on an Early Stage Moon Jade Insect Race. The opponent of that Insect Race, also at the Moon Jade Early Stage, was engaged in a fierce fight, hailing from an unknown star system.

Lu Ye was about to use the Brazen Plundering Technique to launch a sneak attack on that Moon Jade Insect Race, hoping to create an opportunity for his side's Moon Jade. But before he could act, an angry roar suddenly echoed from within the insect hive.

The roar was strange, full of anger and incredulity, as if something unbelievable had happened.

And with the sound of the roar, a mighty aura suddenly perished.

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, turning his gaze towards the insect hive. Since the start of the battle, only the Sun Blaze powerhouses had been clashing inside the hive. The four Sun Blaze from the four galaxies were up against two from the Insect Race, causing constant explosive power fluctuations inside the hive, creating chaos.

Now that an aura had perished, it undoubtedly indicated that a Sun Blaze had fallen!

Lu Ye was thinking that the Sun Blaze from the four galaxies were quite strong, managing to kill a Sun Blaze from the Insect Race so quickly. After all, battles between Sun Blaze powerhouses rarely concluded quickly unless there was a significant disparity in power.

But considering that it was two against one on the side of the four galaxies, it wasn't too surprising after all.

Who would have thought, as he was looking over, that Li Guan, who had been stationed outside the insect hive, suddenly turned pale, transformed into a sword rainbow, and dashed toward the insect hive.

Lu Ye was taken aback, then realized something was amiss.

Li Guan was stationed outside the insect hive primarily to prevent the Insect Race's Sun Blaze from escaping. She was clearly a sword cultivator and was confident she could intercept any escaping Insect Race Sun Blaze.

But now she was rushing into the insect hive, which was clearly unusual.

The one who just fell... could it not have been an Insect Race Sun Blaze? This thought surfaced, and Lu Ye found it hard to believe. But if not, Li Guan wouldn't have reacted this way.

Moreover, it didn't make sense. With two against one, how could they let the opponent counter-kill one of them? Was the Insect Race Sun Blaze that powerful?

As he was puzzled, suddenly a voice came from within the insect hive. It was the voice of Li Guan, who had just entered the hive: "All Tranquil Moon cultivators, heed the order. Return to the battleship immediately to await orders. Any who defy will be slain by cultivators from any of the three forces!"

When the order was given, the cultivators on the entire battlefield were bewildered. No one knew what had happened. The battle was the result of the four galaxies joining forces, progressing incredibly smoothly. Yet now, at this critical moment, Li Guan issued such a strange command.

And this was just after a Sun Blaze powerhouse had fallen inside the insect hive.

Hot on her heels, Luo Xie from the Daluo Galaxy also shouted loudly, "Daluo cultivators, follow the order!"

The next moment, Bai Jin's voice rang out, "Fellow Daoists, why are you targeting our Tranquil Moon? This time we've made significant contributions to the join forces of the four galaxies, isn't it inappropriate to tear down the bridge after crossing the river?"

Originally, upon hearing Li Guan's command, the Tranquil Moon cultivators were puzzled, not understanding why they were suddenly ordered to return to the battleship when the war was progressing smoothly. Hearing their Sun Blaze's voice now, many began to feel dubious.

The four galaxies had been coexisting in this stellar space for years, naturally not without conflicts. However, openly, no one would really tear face, to avoid starting wars between star systems.

Thus, when the disputes among the Sun Blaze arose, the cultivators below couldn't help but start wondering if Tranquil Moon was being targeted by Indeterminate and Daluo.

No matter how the cultivators of the four galaxies speculated, Lu Ye's expression was grave because the Sun Blaze from three galaxies had spoken, but Chen Zong from Beixuan remained silent.

Thinking about the disturbance from the falling Sun Blaze earlier, and considering Chen Zong was already wounded... Lu Ye suddenly had a bad feeling.

Li Guan's voice rang out once more, "Bai Jin, are you still trying to fish in troubled waters at this time?" Following it, she cried out, "Tranquil Moon's Bai Jin is a Blood Race in disguise, Beixuan's Chen Zong has already been slain by him!"

It was unsuitable to say these things directly before to avoid disturbing the military's morale, so the order was given for Tranquil Moon cultivators to return to await orders on the battleship, as Bai Jin was a Blood Race in disguise. No one knew if there were more Blood Races hidden within Tranquil Moon. If they attacked allies amid the chaotic battle, it would certainly be a one-hit kill.

Since it was impossible to discern if Tranquil Moon cultivators were Blood Races in disguise, having them all return to the battleship was the best method. Those not Blood Race would naturally follow orders, but Blood Race might take the opportunity to stir trouble.

At this moment, Bai Jin still wanted to use words to confuse people, but Li Guan had no choice but to reveal the truth.

As Li Guan's words fell, the entire battlefield was in an uproar, especially the cultivators from the Beixuan Galaxy, each of them looking astonished, hardly believing their ears.

Just now, when the commotion of the Sun Blaze falling came from the insect hive, everyone thought it was the Insect Race Sun Blaze that had been killed, but who would have thought that the dead wasn't the Insect Race, but Beixuan's Chen Zong!

A Sun Blaze cultivator, no matter in which star system they are, is like a mainstay, and losing any one of them is a tremendous loss. There were only two Sun Blaze cultivators in the entire Beixuan, and now that Chen Zong has died in battle, Beixuan only has one Sun Blaze remaining. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

On the battlefield, as Lu Ye slashed through the Insect Race, his expression remained stern. Having harbored some suspicions beforehand, he wasn't too surprised when Li Guan spoke those words.

He finally understood why he felt something odd when he saw Bai Jin in the Central Hub. At that time, Lu Ye wasn't sure what exactly felt strange; confronting a Sun Blaze, it was not easy to probe deeply. Thinking back now, if the other party were a member of the Blood Race, it all made sense!

He had refined a large amount of Sacred Blood from the Blood Race, and it could be said that no Blood Race in stellar space could compare with his level of saintliness. So, although he still maintained a human form, he had a latent sense towards the Blood Race. That strange feeling clearly came from the Blood Race bloodline.

Previously, when he was cautioning Lann Qiyue, he even thought that some of the Blood Race had cultivated mysterious secret techniques to hide their Blood Race characteristics and disguise themselves as humans. Who would have thought they'd actually encounter one now.

Perhaps there's more than one; there is a Bai Jin in Tranquil Moon, who knows if there are more hidden Blood Races? That's why Li Guan gave such orders.

However, this Bai Jin is also quite capable. It's unknown how long he has been hidden in the Tranquil Moon Galaxy, possibly reaching Sun Blaze status without exposing himself, which shows his remarkable abilities.

Chen Zong's death was unjust; he was undoubtedly already targeted by Bai Jin. Taking advantage of his injuries while fiercely battling the Insect Race Sun Blaze, Bai Jin suddenly struck, and Chen Zong naturally couldn't resist.

But what Lu Ye couldn't understand was why Bai Jin would expose himself at this time.

He had operated under the guise of a human in Tranquil Moon for many years, surely with his own objectives. If he exposed himself for the sake of the two Insect Race Sun Blaze, it seemed somewhat off.

Because even if he revealed his identity now, and even assassinated Chen Zong, the Insect Race still couldn't gain the upper hand. Perhaps on the Sun Blaze level, they could compete, as inside the insect hive, it's a three-on-three situation, but below the Sun Blaze, the Insect Race is still not a match.

Or could it be, his goal was merely to rescue the two Insect Race Sun Blaze?

Many say the Insect Race and Blood Race are in cahoots, as thick as thieves, but this relationship seems too amicable.

While Lu Ye was puzzled, a terrified shout suddenly rang out from a certain direction.

"Blood Race! Many Blood Races are coming!"

Lu Ye quickly looked up and surveyed the area, his expression becoming grave.

Because in the distant stellar space, a vast blood-red light was sweeping in, the blood-red hue conspicuous, like a Blood Sea deluging everything, blood waves surging, and not just in the direction he was looking, but in all directions.

Lu Ye felt a jolt in his heart, realizing that this was a major problem.

Bai Jin exposing his identity at this time was indeed not just to rescue the two Insect Race Sun Blaze; he aimed to annihilate the Allied Forces of the four galaxies here!

Or possibly, this was a joint operation between the Insect Race and Blood Race, and now it had reached its most critical point.

Lu Ye suddenly understood what Bai Jin had been scheming.

What he was scheming for was none other than the four galaxies themselves!

Because if this battle results in the annihilation of the Allied Forces of the four galaxies, as many as four Sun Blaze will be killed in battle, and the Moon Jade level will suffer even more unimaginable losses. At that time, the Insect Race and Blood Race would take the momentum of their grand victory and launch a strong attack on the Indeterminate Galaxy. What could Indeterminate do to withstand it?

Once Indeterminate is taken, the remaining three galaxies could be defeated one by one.

The four galaxies are a succulent prize for the Insect Race and Blood Race. The Blood Race could turn the inhabitants of the four galaxies into Blood Slaves for enslavement and cultivation, and the Insect Race could devour the life force of each domain at will to expand their scale.

So although the current battle situation sees the Insect Race suffering heavy casualties, as long as they win this battle, the returns for the Insect Race will undoubtedly be a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

So viewed this way, the insect hive drifting to this location is no coincidence, but specifically targeting the four galaxies, with Bai Jin as an internal accomplice, the Insect Race and Blood Race had long been coveting the four galaxies, likely having schemed for many years.

There was only one point that left Lu Ye a bit puzzled. When he came all the way from the Thousand Mounds Cemetery, he hadn't encountered any traces of the Blood Race, but if the Blood Race intentionally lay low to hide, he might not have discovered them.
