Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1676 - 1674: Counterattack

The Yin-Yang Great Millstone was precisely Lu Ye's target for this journey. Within such a marvel of stellar space, numerous dangers are bound to exist, yet he also has certain advantages in there.

If he could leverage this stellar marvel to shake off the Divine Wind Galactic Pirates Group, that would be best. If unable to, he would have to find a chance to ascend to Moon Jade.

Upon ascending to Moon Jade, all concerns would naturally be alleviated. Even if he still couldn't defeat the old white-haired man, he would at least be able to escape.

Therefore, his goal has always been singular!

On the other side, under the leadership of the white-haired elder, the Divine Wind Galactic Pirates Group had already charged out of the big array through a breach. When raising their heads, they were slightly dumbfounded.

For in their field of vision, there were four streaks of blood light, dashing away in four different directions at a swift speed.

The white-haired elder recognized it as the Blood Escape Technique at a glance, as this secret technique is renowned throughout stellar space.

But four figures...

This Constellation kid actually understands the method of doppelgangers—, the white-haired elder snorted coldly and immediately activated a secret technique, a flicker of light appeared in his eyes.

He had cultivated a Pupil Skill. To others, a doppelganger technique might be deceiving enough to pass for real, but it would never escape his investigation.

Upon activating the Pupil Skill, the elder immediately examined the four fleeing figures, and in the next moment, he showed a look of astonishment, "How can this be?"

Under his Pupil Skill's inspection, those four figures seemed indistinguishable, as if all were the main body.

But that's impossible. Among the four figures, there must be three doppelgangers and one main body. His inability to discern them only confirmed the opponent's doppelganger technique was so profound it exceeded his Pupil Skill's inspection.

"Chase them separately!" In the next moment, the elder made a decision.

No matter which was the main body, they must all be significantly exhausted at this moment. Using a Constellation's body to activate such a terrifying power of the red talisman surely has a price. The opponent couldn't hold out for long, and on top of that, he collected the World King Flower, which is a great burden even for a Constellation Late Stage!

The various cultivators of the Divine Wind Galactic Pirates Group received the order and immediately split into four groups, pursuing in different directions.

The white-haired elder, of course, went alone, as did the Flame Race Moon Jade. The remaining Divine Wind cultivators split in two, each accompanied by a Tiger Shark battleship.

At this moment, Lu Ye indeed felt some pressure; activating the red talisman had caused him considerable depletion. For any other Constellation, such a maneuver would likely render them incapable of fighting, but his foundation far exceeded that of an ordinary Constellation, and he had already consumed many elixir pills for recovery, so the situation was within his expectations.

However, the pressure from the red talisman's activation was secondary; once recovered, it would be fine. Yet the pressure from acquiring the World King Flower's main body would persist because it was actually devouring his Soul Power!

Fortunately, he had a seven-color Divine Lotus in his Divine Sea, which greatly reduced the rate of Soul Power depletion under its nurturing, though it was still insufficient.

This was anticipated all along, so as Lu Ye fled, he took out the elixir pills given to him by the Flower Race earlier, ignoring their quality, and directly consumed and refined them.

This barely managed to maintain the balance of his Soul Power depletion.

After a quick calculation, the many elixir pills and spirit flowers and rare herbs given to him by the Flower Race could sustain him for about a month. Beyond that, his Soul Power would continue to erode, and once it reached a certain level of depletion, he would certainly be unable to endure it.

However, he still had 1,000 pieces of soul jade!

This was given to him by Elder Xuyuan before departing from the Soul Race ancestral land, and these were much better for replenishing Soul Power than the elixir pills from the Flower Race.

Considering the 1,000 pieces of soul jade, Lu Ye felt he could easily last another month or two.

So, the white-haired elder's hope that the burden of the World King Flower would overwhelm him was certainly not going to materialize anytime soon.

Thanks to the Talent Tree, for other cultivators, even with so many resources to replenish Soul Power, it would be useless if they couldn't quickly refine and absorb them. But Lu Ye, relying on the Talent Tree, could swiftly recoup his Soul Power consumption.

Very soon, his main body sensed the pursuer's presence behind him.

It had to be said that luck was truly on the worse side—it just so happened to be the white-haired elder.

If the opponent were pursuing his Treasure Blood Avatar, it might afford him more time to flee. But the white-haired elder had directly homed in on the main body, leaving Lu Ye unsure whether his opponent was genuinely lucky or had seen through the real and the fake among his doppelgangers.

It should be luck. If he could really discern, he wouldn't have let his subordinates split up.

The gap in strength was too vast—even though Lu Ye was using the Blood Escape Technique, the distance between them was steadily narrowing.

It obviously wasn't wise to deploy the starboat at this moment since it required some time to accelerate. Even if short, it might allow his opponent to catch up directly.

He could only continue exerting his best to flee, trying to delay as much time as possible while sensing the situation with the three Treasure Blood Avatars.

The circumstances with the Treasure Blood Avatars, while compared to his main body, were better, yet still not well off either.

One of the avatars was being pursued by a Flame Race Moon Jade, while the other two had Tiger Shark battleships hot on their trail!

He had to think of a way to deal with these minions; otherwise, the avatars would not be able to break away from their sight, and even if the main body transposed over, the location would still be compromised.

However, relying solely on his current strength, dealing with the Moon Jade was tenuous; Tiger Shark battleships were nearly as troubling as a Moon Jade.

After some thought, Lu Ye sank his mind, connecting with the World King Flower in his Divine Sea.

In the Flower World, with Lu Ye taking the World King Flower, the previously turbulent Flower World returned to calm. The people of the Flower Race, Wood Spirit Race, and Spore Race waited anxiously and apprehensively, completely unaware of the situation outside. Naturally, they didn't know what fate awaited Lu Ye after he took the World King Flower.

Normally, with a Moon Jade Late Stage cultivator outside, Lu Ye would certainly not end well. However, Lu Ye had previously demonstrated the power of the red talisman, giving them a glimmer of hope.

As they anxiously waited, a voice suddenly echoed in the Flower World: "Tribal Chief Mu He, Tribal Chief Black Umbrella!"

It was Lu Ye's voice!

Mu He and Black Umbrella's expressions brightened with joy, quickly responding: "Present!"

Hua Qianying also hurriedly asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is the situation now?"

Lu Ye said, "I have escaped that big array, but now I'm being pursued, so I need the two chiefs to lend me a hand!"

Hua Qianying quickly said, "Tell us how we can help you."

Being chased by a galactic pirate group, with a Moon Jade Late Stage cultivator among them, Lu Ye's situation must be dire, which worried Hua Qianying and the others immensely.

"I need Fellow Daoist's help to let Tribal Chief Mu He and Tribal Chief Black Umbrella leave the Flower World to come to my side and assist me in fighting the enemy!"

Although the World King Flower had been taken by Lu Ye, the beings in the Flower World could leave and appear by Lu Ye's side. Of course, it required Hua Qianying's assistance as she controlled the portal of the Flower World.

Hua Qianying immediately looked at Mu He and Black Umbrella. Without any hesitation, they both nodded: "No problem!"

Hua Qianying pursed her red lips: "No problem on my end either..."

Lu Ye's voice continued: "Then act on my command!"

After saying this, there was no further sound.

Hua Qianying looked at Mu He and Black Umbrella with deep worry in her eyes. The situation outside was not good, and with Lu Ye being chased by such formidable enemies, he was evidently cornered, hence he sought help.

Mu He and Black Umbrella were only at the Moon Jade Early Stage, and even if they showed up to fight, there was likely little they could do to help.

Seeing her worry, Mu He chuckled heartily: "Rest assured, even if we die in battle, we'll definitely create a chance for Fellow Daoist Lu to escape!"

They had resolved to face death earlier, and now they wouldn't waver.

"Thank you both!" Hua Qianying's eyes reddened slightly, understanding that once Mu He and Black Umbrella left the Flower World, the likelihood of a grim fate was high. But at this point, there was no other way. She believed that if Lu Ye had any chance of escape, he wouldn't have resorted to seeking their aid.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the Wood Spirit Race's people!"

Mu He and Black Umbrella's expressions grew firmer, each ready to face death bravely.

At this moment, the spirit force surged around Lu Ye's primary body, and the Void Spirit Runes constructed themselves. Five thousand miles behind him was the silhouette of that white-haired elder.

This distance already made Lu Ye feel threatened. He knew he had to leave, or if the distance closed slightly more, the opponent would undoubtedly strike.

As Lu Ye's spirit force surged, the white-haired elder naturally noticed, quickly activating his Pupil Skill to scrutinize closely. Although he was certain Lu Ye, at the Constellation Late Stage, couldn't escape his grasp, given the previous power of the red talisman, he remained very cautious.

Soon after, he witnessed an incredible scene: a complex spirit rune appeared under Lu Ye's feet, and then he vanished into thin air from the elder's sight.

The white-haired elder's eyes widened, almost thinking he was dreaming.

Moments later, he rushed to the spot where Lu Ye disappeared, solemnly sensing all around, exclaiming: "Spatial Transposition Technique?"

He clearly perceived traces of Space Power from the residual energy here.

It was incredible because such a technique was not something a Constellation could wield on their own, was it due to an exotic treasure?

This young man... who exactly is he, and how does he possess such wealth? The red talisman was clearly crafted by the Dwarf Race, with immeasurable value, and this exotic treasure capable of Spatial Transposition must also be priceless.

Could he be a rising star from some major power? The white-haired elder thought this and felt suddenly uneasy. If that's the case, he must kill him to silence him and eliminate any future troubles.

The powerful Mental Consciousness abruptly spread out, the Pupil Skill pushed to its limits, tracking Lu Ye's movements from residual Space Power traces. In the next moment, he focused on a direction and sped towards it rapidly.

In that direction, a Treasure Blood Avatar was desperately dodging attacks from the Tiger Shark battleship.

Although the Treasure Blood Avatar could exert all of Lu Ye's power, it ultimately lacked suitable weaponry. Facing attacks comparable to a Moon Jade's strike, it had no thoughts of counterattack. Furthermore, each action of the Treasure Blood Avatar consumed the power of Treasure Blood, diminishing its duration.

Therefore, the Treasure Blood Avatar was only evading.

The Tiger Shark battleship continued its pursuit, seeing the avatar being relentlessly attacked without the ability to retaliate, they gradually relaxed. Having witnessed the fearsome power of the red talisman with their own eyes, how could they not be wary?

Now they determined this was merely an avatar, naturally there was nothing to fear.

But just then, a figure flashed beside the Treasure Blood Avatar. Lu Ye appeared out of nowhere, and along with him, a phantom portal manifested!
