Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1601 - 1599: Fight to the Death

However, the Blood Race Sun Blaze also followed this force and retreated swiftly, instantly fleeing outside.

Yaya was relentless, chasing after like a tiger released from its cage, alongside Lu Ye, who aimed to suppress that Blood Race Sun Blaze with his own saintliness by staying close!

But Sun Blaze is still Sun Blaze, with an absurd speed. Just as Lu Ye chased after, the Blood Race Sun Blaze had already fled beyond the range of his Blood Sea, leaving Lu Ye helpless.

Yaya, however, could keep up, swinging her little fists in the depths of the Blood Sea and pounding at Sun Blaze furiously, forcing it into a defensive stance, lamenting incessantly.

Seeing Yaya and Sun Blaze getting further away from him, Lu Ye had no choice but to shout: "Yaya, come back!"

The main concern was not knowing how long Yaya could maintain this state; if it were short-lived, once Yaya lost Sun Blaze's power, she would be defenseless against such a formidable Blood Race adversary.

Yaya obediently listened, instantly altering her trajectory and flying back towards Lu Ye, who grabbed her, looking somewhat reluctantly towards the Blood Race Sun Blaze's direction, then swiftly turning back towards the battleship.

Returning to the battleship, Yaya was already curled up in Lu Ye's arms, murmuring softly, "Papa, sleepy!"

"Don't sleep, hold on!" Lu Ye patted her little head.

It's certain that, despite Sun Blaze suffering a small setback in Yaya's hands, he wouldn't just retreat; he must be observing the situation here, and if Yaya remained awake, she could serve as a deterrent, preventing reckless action from him. But if Yaya fell asleep, there's no telling what steps he might take. If he came to attack again, without Yaya's defense, this battleship's occupants would have no means to resist.

Yet, Yaya looked incredibly sleepy, her eyelids kept dropping despite her efforts to stay awake, her little head nodded repeatedly.

Just as Lu Ye expected, the retreating Blood Race Sun Blaze was watching from afar with uncertainty.

Aside from Yaya's terrifying power, the instantaneous explosion of saintliness shook him even more!

He too had refined Sacred Blood; otherwise, he wouldn't have ascended to Sun Blaze. However, he refined very little, only a single drop. Sacred Blood is extremely rare and precious even within the Blood Race, with the refining process fraught with unpredictable dangers regardless of one's cultivation strength, leading most Blood Race members to refine just one drop, with very few daring to refine a second.

Being a Sacred Seed possessing Sacred Blood, this Blood Race Sun Blaze was naturally familiar with saintliness, having sensed it from other Sacred Seeds, but never as intensely terrifying as that moment.

There's a Sacred Seed aboard that battleship, and it's certainly refined more than one drop of Sacred Blood! But why would a Sacred Seed target me?

The Blood Race Sun Blaze couldn't understand the crux of the matter, torn between Yaya's displayed power and fear of the mysterious suppression by saintliness, and hesitated to advance, merely trailing the battleship from afar while his Mental Consciousness surged, transmitting audio messages to the other three Blood Race Sun Blazes at the battlefield's center, informing them of the situation here.

Being alone, he dared not probe rashly, but if the three other Blood Race Sun Blazes were to join him, there'd be no issue; combining the power of four Sun Blazes would enable unveiling any secrets aboard the battleship.

The allure of Sacred Blood to the Blood Race is enormous; compared to the four galaxies, the Blood Race prioritizes Sacred Blood. Thus, once this news spreads, the three Blood Race Sun Blazes battling against Ning Bu'ao and others would inevitably come over.

As for the Sun Blaze battlefield...at present, Ning Bu'ao and the others all have injuries. Even if they temporarily leave the battlefield, with Bai Jin and the other two Insect Race Sun Blazes continuing suppression, Ning Bu'ao and the others have no chance of reversing the situation.

Aboard the battleship, Lu Ye sensed remotely that the Blood Race Sun Blaze's aura was indeed trailing them from the depths of the Blood Sea, inwardly lamenting.

Yaya could no longer be relied upon; though she resisted sleep, she seemed to require slumber after each outbreak of Sun Blaze strength to recover, so if the Blood Race Sun Blaze decides to charge regardless right now, there's truly no adequate countermeasures from their side.

The opponent refrains from charging, clearly hesitating.

Yet, he certainly won't let the battleship escape the Blood Sea's cover; if it breaks through, he'll definitely strike again, at which point the situation would be exposed entirely. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Lu Ye's mind brimmed with various thoughts, pondering how to turn the tables. No matter what, at the very least, they must escape with everyone aboard the battleship.

But the absolute power gap rendered any plan unfeasible.

Luan Xiao'e seemed to perceive Lu Ye's difficulty and gradually spoke: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll act shortly to delay that Sun Blaze, by all means, you must ensure their safe escape!"

Her face displayed resolute determination, clearly aware of the bleak outcome facing a Moon Jade Late Stage against a Sun Blaze, but having made the decision to participate in this battle, she must take responsibility.

If her sacrifice could secure survival for the Three Worlds cultivators, then it would be worthwhile.

Her willingness to lay down her life evidently moved the other Moon Jade, with a Daluo Moon Jade immediately stepping forward: "Fellow Daoist Luan, I'll assist you!"

One person spoke up, then a second, and soon all the Moon Jade cultivators on the battleship expressed their willingness to fight alongside Luan Xiao'e.

An Indeterminate Moon Jade looked solemnly at Lu Ye: "Fellow Daoist, no matter what, you have to inform Brother Jyang Shang of the situation here! The survival of Indeterminate and even the four galaxies rests on you alone."

There's no way Indeterminate over there knows about the battle here yet; if the Insect Race or Blood Race wins this war, they will inevitably head towards Indeterminate immediately, and how can Indeterminate, caught unprepared, be a match?

But if Lu Ye can notify Jyang Shang in advance, there might be a glimmer of hope.

A group of Moon Jade clearly had embraced a resolve to die, thinking that so many Moon Jade working together might have a chance to disrupt a Sun Blaze.

Unfortunately, the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc was not suitable for Moon Jade use at the moment, or Lu Ye would have surely left them some discs.

Feeling wistful inside, just as he was about to agree, Lu Ye suddenly felt something, turned to look towards the center of the battlefield, and his expression became calm: "Everyone, prepare for a fight to the death!"

Nothing else, at the center of the battlefield, three strong auras were rapidly coming this way, and they were the three Blood Race Sun Blaze who had joined earlier.

Lu Ye knew this was likely the result of the saintliness he had just activated, with the fourth Blood Race Sun Blaze suppressed by saintliness and wounded by Yaya, now trailing behind the battleship, not daring to approach, and had even called for help from his kin, truly cautious indeed.

Even one Sun Blaze was beyond our ability to handle, and now with three more coming, how can we stop them?

Only a battle to the death!

Luan Xiao'e and the others had evidently noticed too, each showing a bitter expression.

The fourth Sun Blaze was still trailing behind the battleship, with three more Sun Blaze attacking from the center of the battlefield. In such a hopeless situation, many human cultivators aboard the battleship looked anxious and uneasy, while Nine Provinces cultivators were full of fighting spirit.

Knowing that death is certain and unable to resist, but if one must die... they should die with dignity and a bit of defiance. A cultivator dying in combat is the most normal fate, and every cultivator from Nine Provinces was already mentally prepared for such an outcome.

Lu Ye placed the now-sleeping Yaya aside and stood firm, a figure flashed beside him, and turning to look, he saw Yiyi smiling faintly at him, without a hint of fear, and even said, "This time, you can't leave me behind again!"

Lu Ye raised his hand and rubbed her head, momentarily speechless, silently activating the spirit force within him, and began rousing the power of the red talisman.

If there was anything in his hands that could threaten a Sun Blaze, it was only the red talisman gifted by Su Yuqing years ago, although Lu Ye wasn't sure how its full power might affect a Sun Blaze. Perhaps it could hurt one, or perhaps not.

However, with the suppression of saintliness combined with the power of the red talisman, the chance is certainly greater, but this opportunity must be seized.

He had always considered this red talisman his last resort, unwilling to use it normally, at most using it for intimidation, but this time it couldn't be ignored.

"Fellow Daoist Lih Shang, this time I've involved you." Lu Ye sent his Mental Consciousness forth.

Since the battle here started, Lih Shang had been hiding in his Divine Sea, ready to deploy the Soul Possession Technique at any time, but so far Lu Ye hadn't needed her assistance.

Lih Shang's voice arose: "Fellow Daoist, don't mind. Without you, I wouldn't know into whose hands I'd fall, nor what kind of tragic fate I'd face. Following you during this time, at least I feel quite at ease."

Lu Ye nodded, about to speak again when he suddenly frowned and looked in a direction.

Strangely, exclamations arose from there, and under his watchful gaze, deep within the dense Blood Sea, something began to twinkle, emitting colorful ripples.

Moreover, the Blood Sea in that direction seemed to show signs of dissolving.

Lu Ye thought he must be seeing things, but upon closer inspection, he realized the colorful gleam had intensified, and this glow... seemed vaguely familiar!

The exclamations grew more frequent, as if something unbelievable was occurring deep within the Blood Sea, and soon, Lu Ye realized he wasn't mistaken; the Blood Sea was indeed dissolving, because the once-dense Blood Sea was rapidly thinning and then vanished.

At that very moment, the three Blood Race Sun Blaze rushing from the central battlefield merged with the fourth.

Before they could ascertain the situation, a burst of colorful gleam suddenly descended from the sky, and under this radiance, the Blood Sea around rapidly vanished as though thoroughly evaporated.
