Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1598 - 1596: Chaos in the Ranks

Lu Ye suddenly recalled why the Insect Race had acted so strangely at the beginning of the great battle. They did not concentrate their power in one direction but dispersed it, seemingly an irrational move. However, in reality, it was to divert the attention of the Four Galaxies cultivators, facilitating the Blood Race's encirclement of this battlefield.

The fact proved that their strategy was very successful. All cultivators of the Four Galaxies, and even the Three Worlds cultivators on Lu Ye's side, were immersed in the achievement and joy of hunting the Insect Race, hardly paying attention to the more peripheral areas.

Until the traces of the Blood Race became apparent, but noticing it now was no longer of much significance.

Blood tides surged from all directions, and at an incredibly fast speed. Such speed was evidently because there were powerful beings navigating within the Blood Sea. In a matter of moments, the entire battlefield was almost surrounded by the Blood Sea, and its pervasive trend had not stopped, seemingly intent on enveloping the entire battlefield.

Once the Blood Sea descended, the human race cultivators within it would be forced into a passive situation, whereas the Blood Race and Insect Race would thrive in it like fishes in water.

Lu Ye himself had also deployed the Blood Sea to kill enemies before and knew its mysteries profoundly.

Thoughts flickered like lightning in his mind, the first idea was to quickly gather the Three Worlds cultivators and escape! The Blood Sea had not yet completely formed an encirclement, so there was still an opening, and there might still be a chance.

But the previous arrangements by Kang Cheng caused his plan to fail because, at this moment, the Three Worlds cultivators were scattered across various positions on the battlefield, making it impossible to gather everyone together in a short time.

In this situation, not to mention gathering the Three Worlds cultivators in a short time, it was utterly impossible to gather even just the Nine Provinces cultivators. Everyone, including the cultivators of the Four Galaxies, was embroiled in the battle, unable to extricate themselves easily.

What to do? Lu Ye kept asking himself repeatedly but couldn't conceive any solution.

Moreover, he thought of a more severe consequence. If the Insect Race and Blood Race indeed took the Four Galaxies, then Jade Conch would be in danger. At that time, these two races would explore outward and inevitably traverse Thousand Mounds Cemetery and the geomagnetic turbulence zone. Once they entered the Jade Conch Galaxy...

One could say that Jade Conch and Indeterminate were in a mutually dependent relationship for survival.

More intense power fluctuations than before emanated from the insect hive, and Lu Ye instinctively turned to look. He saw the massive insect hive suddenly shatter.

Though this insect hive was incredibly sturdy, it couldn't withstand several Sun Blaze powerhouses clashing within it for such a long time. At this moment, it finally exploded into countless pieces scattered all over the sky.

Six figures emerged from it; three of them were Indeterminate's Ning Bu'ao, Li Guan, and Daluo's Luo Xie.

Among the other three, two were evidently Insect Race Sun Blaze, and one was clearly Blood Race, looking seven parts similar to Bai Jin. However, compared to Bai Jin before, his body was much larger, and his skin was entirely blood-colored.

The six Sun Blaze were fiercely fighting each other, locked in intense combat.

The Beixuan Galaxy cultivators didn't see Chen Zong among them, which made them truly realize that Chen Zong had fallen, and each was overwhelmed with grief.

Meanwhile, the Tranquil Moon Constellation cultivators' feelings were even more complex. Bai Jin, who was a pillar-like figure in their realm, turned out to be a Blood Race disguise and even killed a Sun Blaze ally, making them feel ashamed and uneasy.

As overwhelming power roared and spread, three streaks of blood light suddenly streaked from different directions within the distant approaching Blood Sea, clearly carrying the auras of Sun Blaze powerhouses!

This scene made all the cultivators' hearts turn cold, knowing this time they were truly over.

The Blood Race actually brought along three Sun Blaze, and that was just who had surfaced. No one knew if there were any who hadn't shown themselves.

Originally, vis-a-vis Ning Bu'ao and the others could maintain undefeated, but with the three Blood Race Sun Blaze joining the battlefield, now it was their turn to fight two opponents each, making the situation dire immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, come with me quickly!" Suddenly a Moon Jade rushed toward Lu Ye with a panicked face, shouting as he approached, and from the spirit force fluctuations surrounding him, it was clear he was just in the Moon Jade Early Stage.

Lu Ye turned his head for a glance, nodded, and rushed straight toward him.

At the moment their figures drew close, the panic on the Moon Jade Early Stage's face vanished, reaching out to grab Lu Ye, with mana surging from his palm and forming a vortex that immediately pulled at Lu Ye with invisible force.

Lu Ye's expression remained unchanged, as if expecting it. Blood light erupted around him, instantly spreading a Blood Sea that enveloped him and the Moon Jade.

The opponent obviously hadn't expected such a change and was caught unprepared in the Blood Sea, instantly surprised and puzzled, because as far as he knew, Lu Ye was a combat cultivator, yet being able to deploy such a profound Blood Path Secret Technique was quite unusual.

But in the next moment, the Moon Jade's expression changed because from that Blood Sea came an immensely overwhelming pressure that he couldn't resist.

Under the divine and profound pressure, this Moon Jade felt his power greatly suppressed, and not only was the mana flow within him obstructed, but even his blood Qi seemed to be almost solidifying.

Suddenly, a flash of blade light slashed ruthlessly at his neck.

Even when imbued with Divine Sharp Edge, the Boulder Mountain Saber couldn't decapitate this Moon Jade, only cutting halfway, proving the strength of his physique.

The Moon Jade showed an expression of agony, tilting his head, looking at Lu Ye in disbelief: "Sacred Seed?"

The technique performed by this combat cultivator was not any Blood Path Secret Technique, but the purest Blood Race Blood Sea Technique. What made him deeply anxious was that within that blood sea surged a saintliness almost condensed into substance, the intensity of which was beyond his imagination.

In this world, could there still be a Sacred Seed with such intense saintliness? How much Sacred Blood must be refined to reach this level?

"Fellow Daoist, please show mercy, I am of the Blood Race!" In panic, the Moon Jade cried out, although not understanding why Lu Ye would be a Sacred Seed, but being a Sacred Seed, he should be one of their own.

Lu Ye's expression was indifferent: "Understood!" He suddenly gripped the handle of the Boulder Mountain Saber with the other hand, both hands applying force together, the long blade embedded halfway into the neck swiftly chopped down!

The head flew up, eyes wide open in death, unable to comprehend why Lu Ye still mercilessly killed even after he revealed his Blood Race identity.

The blood sea vanished, and Lu Ye's figure appeared, the Boulder Mountain Saber unstained by a drop of blood.

As the enemy approached him, he had sensed it; this Moon Jade gave him a feeling somewhat similar to Bai Jin, and he immediately realized that this guy was also disguised by the Blood Race.

If it were a regular Moon Jade, killing them wouldn't be so easy for Lu Ye. But the Blood Race's Moon Jade were specifically countered by him. Back when he left the Blue Jade World, a Moon Jade Late Stage Blood Race chased after him to kill him, yet was slain by him. Let alone facing a mere Moon Jade Early Stage now.

Of course, being able to kill the Moon Jade Late Stage was also thanks to Lih Shang initiating a soul battle; otherwise, with his strength at the time, it would have been difficult to deal with others.

Now it's different; the Boulder Mountain Saber is transformed by a barghest, unmatched in sharpness; the physical body of a Moon Jade Early Stage, though strong, couldn't withstand the slashes of the barghest under saintliness suppression.

Chaos erupted, everything was in disarray.

Originally, after Li Guan issued the order for Tranquil Moon cultivators to return to the battleship and await orders, things got somewhat chaotic, now with the Blood Race launching a large-scale attack, things have become even more chaotic.

Tranquil Moon cultivators could no longer return to the battleship, among them, who knew how many Blood Race were hidden, making cultivators of other three galaxies fight the enemy with hands tied, fearing stealth attacks by others.

Lu Ye gazed at the chaotic battlefield, seeing the spreading blood sea from all directions, knowing if he didn't act, the galactic alliance forces and even Three Worlds cultivators would be buried here!

Even Lu Ye himself might not escape unscathed!

But on such a large battlefield, he alone as a Constellation, could he really have the power to reverse the dire situation if he were cultivated to Sun Blaze?

Lu Ye suddenly flipped his hand, an object appearing in his grasp.

He glanced down, uncertain whether his idea would work, and even if it did, the extent of its effect was unpredictable, but given the circumstances, treating a dead horse like a living one seemed to be the only option.

He placed the object between his lips, fingers pressing several sound holes, circulating his breath, and gently played.

Even in the stellar space, there was a deep sound emitted from the object within his hand.

Amidst the panic, surrounding cultivators curiously looked over, none understanding why Lu Ye took out a bone ocarina to play, and even played it so poorly!

But no one paid attention to him, as the approaching blood sea made everyone focus on self-preservation.

A figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Ye, it was Luan Xiao'e.

She seemed unharmed, with her spear stained with fresh blood, probably from killing the Insect Race, being a Moon Jade Late Stage, barring Sun Blaze, hardly anyone posed a threat to her life on this battlefield.

Gazing at Lu Ye, Luan Xiao'e wore a face filled with guilt: "Sorry!"

Originally, Kang Cheng had instructed them to head to Indeterminate first, and discuss advancing to All Phenomena Ocean after the battle here ended, yet Luan Xiao'e found this opportunity rare and wanted to experience it, now trouble came after seeking excitement.

The Three Worlds cultivators left Qingli Dao World with high aspirations, yet here they were, about to be wiped out by the Blood Race and Insect Race.

Lu Ye continued playing the bone ocarina for a while, then put it away in disappointment, saying, "Participating in the battle here was a decision made by Fellow Daoist and me together, and any consequences will be borne by both of us; Fellow Daoist need not blame herself. Moreover, even if we'd gone to Indeterminate first, we might not have avoided this catastrophe; once the Blood Race and Insect Race capture the galactic alliance forces, they would first target Indeterminate Galaxy, dragging us into it there as well."

And once the Blood Race and Insect Race take control of the four galaxies, the first unlucky one would be the Jade Conch Galaxy.

"Fellow Daoist, please help me gather the Three Worlds cultivators, the current situation only allows unity as the faint chance for self-preservation!" Lu Ye urged.

Luan Xiao'e nodded: "Let's act separately."

Lu Ye's form vanished in a flash, reappearing at a part of the battlefield, not far from Team D-9.
