Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1663 - 1661: The Legitimate Son and the Bastard Son

Under the protection of the Sacred Guard, Lu Ye didn't pay any attention to the soul techniques of those two Soul Race members and just charged straight through.

The two Soul Race members were also stunned, because they had never seen such a peculiar soul skill before. Although it was strange, they could still see that it was a protective type of soul skill. With their combined efforts, under the same level premise, the opponent couldn't possibly withstand it and was sure to be blocked, maybe even injured a bit.

However, when their soul techniques struck the barrier of the Sacred Guard, an incredible scene appeared.

The barrier merely shook slightly, not damaged in the slightest, and Lu Ye swiftly passed through them.

In a pure comparison of psyche under the same cultivation level, Lu Ye couldn't match the Soul Race. After all, the Soul Race is essentially a soul body, primarily focused on soul body cultivation, which is something no cultivator of any race can compare to.

However, due to his cultivation, Lu Ye had used many treasures that enhanced the psyche.

The Soul Cleansing Water from years ago and the psyche refinement herb he started using in recent years are all items that nourish and strengthen the psyche, especially the psyche refinement herb, which is extremely effective in enhancing the psyche. While training in the internal space of the barghest, Lu Ye's psyche was often damaged, and he always relied on the psyche refinement herb to recover.

In this cycle of damage and recovery, the psyche naturally becomes stronger.

It could be said that the current strength of Lu Ye's psyche may not match the Soul Race, but it's incomparable to any other race.

Moreover, when it comes to psyche confrontations, it's not just about the strength of the psyche but also the use of secret techniques.

While the Soul Race's secret techniques are certainly exquisite, how could the Sacred Guard developed through the Talent Tree be any lesser? At this moment, condensed and outlined through Lu Ye's Soul Power, under a single strike premise, Soul Race members of the same level can't possibly break it.

The two Soul Race members were startled at the scene, their eyes wide open, secretly suspecting that Lu Ye might have used some kind of protective soul treasure. Otherwise, how could the barrier be so resilient?

"Don't even think about it!" Seeing Lu Ye swiftly approaching the four-color Divine Lotus, the two Soul Race members finally reacted, yelling angrily as they hurried after him.

But just as they made a move, Lu Ye was already brushing past the four-color Divine Lotus, and in the same moment, the four-color light disappeared.

The Soul Race members, about to give chase, couldn't help but pause in place, watching Lu Ye's rapidly retreating figure with bewilderment, taking a long time to react.

Where did the four-color Divine Lotus go? The four-color Divine Lotus for which they had been fighting for quite a while, where did it go?

Don't tell me it was refined by that guy just now! They didn't even see him making any refining moves, knowing that refining a four-color Divine Lotus isn't something that happens in a short time, even if done quickly, it takes at least one incense stick's time.

But what's the current situation? That guy just passed by the four-color Divine Lotus, and the Divine Lotus disappeared!

Above the Lotus Pond, Elder Xuyuan felt a headache...

He didn't know what was going on with Lu Ye, his mindset seemed to have changed. Because previously, he would avoid places where Soul Race conflicts happened, but somehow this time, he took the initiative to intervene and even snatched the four-color Divine Lotus.

This human lad's speed in refining the Divine Lotus is unbelievably fast. At such a speed, the clansmen on the Soul Race's side have no competitive edge at all.

With the opening of the Lotus Pond this time, it seems the clansmen truly won't gain much.

At this time, Lu Ye was observing the five-color Divine Lotus in his Divine Sea, and after refining another four-color one, this five-color Divine Lotus changed even more.

Lu Ye was absolutely certain; the five-color Divine Lotus indeed wasn't the end. It still had the potential to evolve toward a six-color!

This greatly excited his heart; the effect of the five-color Divine Lotus on nurturing the psyche was already strong. What would a higher-quality one be like?

He originally thought that three days would be more than enough, but looking at it now, it might not be sufficient! After all, the higher the quality of the Divine Lotus, the more Divine Lotus needed for the evolution process, and it's an exponential increase.

What to do?

After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye thought of an idea, but whether it would work remains to be verified. If it works, things would become easier.

He needs to find a target to verify it first.

Lu Ye looked around and quickly found a single-color Divine Lotus that no one was paying attention to!

Standing before this single-color Divine Lotus, Lu Ye didn't rush to refine it. With a thought, a flick of his finger, a drop of treasure blood flew out, immediately blooming with crimson light. When the light dissipated, the Treasure Blood Avatar appeared.

Soon, soul consciousness surged within the Treasure Blood Avatar, swiftly refining that single-color Divine Lotus.

Once the Treasure Blood Avatar refined the Divine Lotus, Lu Ye retrieved it and closely observed the changes in the five-color Divine Lotus in his Divine Sea.

Inexplicably, a power infused into the five-color Divine Lotus, causing it to undergo almost imperceptible changes!

It really works!

The Treasure Blood Avatar is similar to the Talent Tree Avatar, inheriting almost all the characteristics of Lu Ye's main body. Of course, due to limited power within the avatar, it's not suitable for long-term confrontations. Also, compared to the Talent Tree Avatar, its maximum distance from the main body is far less.

However, although the Lotus Pond is large, it's not large enough to cause the Treasure Blood Avatar to lose contact with the main body, so Lu Ye can completely let the Treasure Blood Avatar freely explore in this Lotus Pond.

If three days are not enough for just one person, then just have more.

Currently, he has three drops of treasure blood in his body, which means he can create three Treasure Blood Avatars. If he wants, he can even create a Talent Tree Avatar!

Of course, this is the territory of the Soul Race after all. Lu Ye was not sure if those Sun Blaze experts of the Soul Race were watching. The Treasure Blood Avatar was one thing, but the Talent Tree Avatar couldn't be exposed, as the process of refining it is not the same as the Treasure Blood Avatar that requires separating a part of the Talent Tree first.

Three Treasure Blood Avatars plus the real self, four of me, should be enough, right?

"Disperse!" With a wave of his hand, Lu Ye and his three Treasure Blood Avatars turned into four streams of light, sweeping in four directions.

"This..." The Soul Race's Sun Blaze elders were stunned.

Originally, Lu Ye's efficiency in refining the Divine Lotus was unbelievably high, and in just half a day, he had refined an unknown number of Divine Lotuses.

But since the ancestral will had instructed them to take good care of him, the Sun Blaze elders had let it go.

But what's happening now?

Is this human boy so addicted that he can't stop? Isn't he already satisfied refining them alone, and now he's created three more avatars?

Moreover, these three avatars... even to the eyes of the Sun Blaze experts, they seemed extraordinarily profound. They didn't even know what kind of secret technique could instantly create three lifelike avatars.

"Clan Leader!" A beautiful woman-like Sun Blaze turned to look at Hun Que, her expression filled with resentment.

This is too much. Clan Leader, aren't you going to do something?

Initially, it was thought that with the opening of the Lotus Pond this time, even if that human boy got great benefits from it, the Soul Race itself could still have considerable gains.

But if the situation develops like this, it seems that we're going to have a case of the human boy eating the meat while the Soul Race gets to drink some soup.

Perhaps, if that human boy goes even further, the Soul Race might not even get a taste of the soup.

Even though Hun Que had lived for countless years, he found this situation quite head-scratching.

Manage it? How to manage it?

The ancestral will had given instructions on this. The Lotus Pond was opened early this time because of Lu Ye. Are we supposed to forcibly pull him out of the Lotus Pond now?

Didn't you see that as soon as his Mental Consciousness touched those Divine Lotuses, they were easily refined?

Each of those Divine Lotuses is an extension of the ancestral will. If the ancestral will didn't allow him to refine them, how could it be so effortless?

To forcibly pull him out of the Lotus Pond would be to go against the ancestral will. Wouldn't that mean the end of my position as Clan Leader and the time for the Soul Race's continued existence here?

For a moment, Hun Que felt conflicted. The Soul Race had always prided itself as the children of the ancestral land, blessed by it. Even during that ancient war sweeping across the stellar space, it remained safe and sound. But now, in comparison, Hun Que realized that Lu Ye, the guy from the human race, was the true son, while the Soul Race was like illegitimate children...

"It's not a big problem, let's just watch how it unfolds!" Hun Que responded calmly, though his eye muscles twitched involuntarily.

Lu Ye moved swiftly, as he and his three avatars refined every Divine Lotus along their paths, gaining significantly in just a day.

For the real self, the five-color Divine Lotus had shown signs of evolving into the six-color Divine Lotus. It's estimated that refining another two or three three-color ones would be enough.

The progress of the three avatars was almost similar, each was refining Divine Lotuses that were evolving towards the five-color, though still at the four-color level.

Lu Ye wanted to find a five-color one.

Because during this refining, he could feel very clearly that a ready-made five-color Divine Lotus was worth half a day's effort.

Unfortunately, up to this point, the highest Divine Lotus he found was only four colors. He didn't know if the five-color ones hadn't appeared yet or if they were already refined by the Soul Race.

The number of active Soul Race members he encountered was also decreasing, as those who had gained something would no longer refine Divine Lotuses but would find a place to peacefully refine the pool water here, and enhance their soul bodies.

So many times Lu Ye came across Soul Race members who were sitting quietly in one place, cross-legged with closed eyes.

Even for the Soul Race, the opening of the Lotus Pond was a rare opportunity.

At one moment, while searching around, Lu Ye suddenly turned his head towards a direction where a Treasure Blood Avatar had made a discovery — precisely what he had been longing for.

In the next moment, Void Spirit Runes enveloped his body, and in an instant, he vanished from the spot.

By the time he reappeared, he was beside that Treasure Blood Avatar. The avatar didn't stop and continued to move forward, while Lu Ye's real body looked ahead.

In that direction, several strands of Soul Power were clashing, and at the center of the clash, five-colored radiance was blooming brilliantly.

Finally found the five-color Divine Lotus!

Moreover, several Soul Race members were contending for it.

This scene was familiar to Lu Ye, and without hesitation, he headed towards the battlefield.

Seeing his actions, several Sun Blaze Elders of the Soul Race felt a chill down their spines. If nothing unexpected happened, that five-color Divine Lotus would likely bear the surname Lu yet again.
