Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1712 - 1710: Spirit Flash

Seeing the five Treasure Blood Avatars of Lu Ye, Ma Shangsi immediately understood the situation.

He and Lu Ye had already helped the Jade Conch gain an overwhelming advantage. With Lu Ye's five Treasure Blood Avatars forming an array and going to assist, how could the remaining enemies be opponents?

Enemies on various battlefields were eliminated, and the advantage snowballed, allowing the battle to be resolved in such a short time.

At this moment, all the Moon Jade cultivators of the Jade Conch had arrived.

Ma Shangsi felt at ease, knowing that he only needed to focus on dealing with the Filth Race giant, and there was no need for him to interfere in other matters.

The Insect Path was turbulent, and with the arrival of another filthy figure, Lu Ye acutely sensed that the stability of the Insect Path had decreased again. He thought to himself that it was indeed as he had guessed: although the Insect Path could allow Moon Jade cultivators to pass, the stability of the path was impacted every time one came through, and the strength of the impact was likely related to their level of cultivation.

Indeed, the arrival from the other end of the Insect Path was at Peak Moon Jade, evidently a member of the Water Spirit Race among the Five Elements Spirit Race!

Lu Ye had never seen a real Water Spirit Race member, but he had read descriptions of them—their normal form being like a flowing liquid in human shape, which, because of their element sign, gave off a gentle feeling.

But now, looking around, this Water Spirit Filth Race was anything but gentle, its aura entirely blighted, giving off an extremely ominous vibe.

It indeed had a human shape, with water-like liquid flowing on its skin, but it was pitch-black sewage.

The Water Spirit Filth Race arrived through the Insect Path with great momentum, but as soon as it steadied itself, it was dumbstruck.

Because it realized that the situation wasn't what it had expected...

The other end of the Insect Path couldn't detect the exact situation here; they could only sense it vaguely. However, the successive turmoil of the Insect Path and the aftershocks of the battle were enough for the Filth Race to judge that things were not going well here.

So the Filth Race first sent a giant, then a Water Spirit, both at Peak Moon Jade. Furthermore, several Moon Jades were preparing to come over!

The Water Spirit Filth Race thought that even if the situation here wasn't great, it wouldn't be too terrible, given that the battle hadn't broken out long ago. But who would have thought it had deteriorated to such a degree.

Under its perception, the Moon Jades that first arrived from the Filth Race were all gone except for the Filth Race giant, who was still alive but with a very weak aura.

What terrified it more was that from all directions, more than ten Moon Jade auras rapidly approached, surrounding it in the blink of an eye, followed by a frenzied assault.

Indeed, it was at Peak Moon Jade, capable of handling three to five opponents in a solo fight, and even if it wasn't a match, it could still preserve its life.

But now it wasn't about facing three or five opponents—it was being surrounded by a group of Moon Jades!

Unless it was at Sun Blaze level, it couldn't possibly survive such an onslaught.

Meanwhile, the Filth Race giant also sensed the Water Spirit's plight and immediately turned to merge with it, clearly intending to join forces.

Either of them alone would find it difficult to turn the tide, but together, there might be a slim chance. They didn't need to do much, just hold out until more Filth Race powerhouses arrived.

Seeing this, Ma Shangsi knew what the Filth Race giant was planning and immediately mobilized his mana. The Blood Sea vibrated violently.

In an instant, the Filth Race giant's movements became sluggish, as if it were trapped in a quagmire.

Lu Ye charged with his blade!

However, his target wasn't the Filth Race giant; this creature was rather troublesome. Even with Ma Shangsi assisting secretly, engaging it posed risks. Furthermore, the Filth Race giant had enough wounds that Ma Shangsi could finish it off.

Thus, Lu Ye's target was the newly arrived Water Spirit Filth Race!

The many Moon Jades of the Jade Conch and his five Treasure Blood Avatars had already pounced; Lu Ye was naturally eager to join the fray.

The battle resumed, but this time the Jade Conch cultivators were in high spirits.

One incense stick's time ago, when the Jade Conch decided to make a final stand, they never imagined the situation would unfold this way. Qiu Wu was prepared for self-sacrifice, thinking that even if they won, the price would be severe.

But one incense stick's time later, the initial invading Moon Jades were all slain, while on their side, none were lost, only subjected to varying degrees of blighted aura erosion.

The remarkable results were beyond initial expectations, but everyone knew who deserved the credit. Without Lu Ye and his followers breaking the stalemate, more than half of them would have died, if not the entire force.

Each Jade Conch Moon Jade felt grateful that Lu Ye and his followers happened to be guests at Jade Conch and rushed to the scene together.

Already holding an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and with morale high, the Water Spirit Filth Race was instantly overwhelmed, scrambling to focus on defense, and yet the situation was extremely perilous.

Lu Ye had already merged with his five Treasure Blood Avatars, forming a Black Tortoise Array. With the array's formidable defense, they directly resisted the Water Spirit Filth Race, providing the Moon Jades of Jade Conch much better space for action.

Shortly after the fierce battle, the sound of Moon Jade falling in Blood Sea echoed out.

It was Ma Shangsi who first dealt with his opponent.

The Filth Race giant was indeed powerful, but in the face of Lu Ye and his servant, its full strength was suppressed, unable to unleash even half, dying in frustration on the battlefield.

With the Filth Race giant dead, the Water Spirit Filth Race's condition was extremely dire. Though it naturally could evade most attacks due to its race, it couldn't withstand the siege from so many Moon Jades.

Realizing the Filth Race giant had perished, the Water Spirit's dark eyes turned bleak, knowing survival was unlikely.

"Don't kill it, keep it occupied!" Lu Ye, seeing the situation settled, immediately transmitted voice instructions to all, while he and the five Treasure Blood Avatars created a tumultuous display.

The group of Jade Conch Moon Jades, though unsure of Lu Ye's intentions, immediately eased their attacks.

If Lu Ye had said this before the battle, the Jade Conch cultivators naturally wouldn't listen, but the advantage was fought for by Lu Ye and his servant, without them, the current situation wouldn't exist. They acknowledged Lu Ye's profound foundation, earning him some authority here.

Lu Ye's thoughts were simple: if the battle concluded and the other Filth Race sensed danger, they surely would not send more Moon Jades.

Then, with the Insect Path blocking the way, Jade Conch would be in an awkward position. It's impossible to march through the Insect Path to the Filth Race, as that would be suicidal.

If counter-attacking is not feasible, they should inflict pain on the opponent this time, letting the Filth Race know that Jade Conch is not to be trifled with.

Only this way can the Filth Race be discouraged from advancing.

This location, while closer to Jade Conch World, rests in the same Star System as Nine Provinces. The two are interdependent, and Lu Ye couldn't extricate himself from such affairs.

It was essentially a family matter.

Lu Ye wished to preserve the Water Spirit Filth Race's life: firstly, to attract more Filth Race Moon Jades for reinforcements, creating a scenario where they could corner and strike the aid; secondly, more Filth Race Moon Jades passing the Insect Path could destabilize it, and what if... it collapsed?

Therefore, keeping the Water Spirit Filth Race alive was the best choice, and indeed the only choice.

The Jade Conch cultivators weren't fools. Though initially unclear of Lu Ye's intent, seeing their absolute advantage and yet Lu Ye's booming display, they then realized his plan.

Soon, under Qiu Wu's instructions, the Jade Conch Moon Jades sprang into action, wildly expending mana as if the battle were at a stalemate, though in reality, the Water Spirit Filth Race was heavily suppressed, unable to raise its head.

The Water Spirit Filth Race certainly discerned Lu Ye and others' intent, suddenly raising its gaze towards Lu Ye's position, an icy voice emanating: "You cannot escape! Where the Filth Race sets eyes, no one escapes!"

In the next moment, an extremely dangerous aura suddenly emanated from the Water Spirit. Its dark body explosively emitted dazzling light.

"Spirit Flash! Not good, retreat quickly!" Qiu Wu's expression shifted drastically, urgently yelling.

Spirit Flash is a racial innate skill of the Five Elements Spirit Race, with a Crystal Core inside their bodies akin to the demonic pill of a demon beast, capable of unleashing all its power in a desperate moment, similar to self-destructing.

An explosion from a Peak Moon Jade, such power is terrifying, so seeing the Water Spirit Filth Race's actions, Qiu Wu knew trouble loomed.

As his words fell, the group of Moon Jades frantically retreated, while Lu Ye also fled while triggering the Black Tortoise Array's power to its peak.

The light fully exploded, enveloping a vast area. The dark Force of Turbidity surged in all directions, transforming this stellar space into an almost black hole.

Lu Ye's form rolled over, the Black Tortoise Array nearly shattered. At the critical moment, Ma Shangsi appeared in time to protect him, enveloping him into Blood Sea.

Despite this, Lu Ye felt dizzy.

Violent energy gradually subsided. Lu Ye shook his head, retracted the five Treasure Blood Avatars, and instructed Ma Shangsi to also withdraw Blood Sea.

Looking up, the Water Spirit Filth Race had vanished.

Lu Ye knitted his brows tightly, unexpected by the decisiveness of the Water Spirit Filth Race. A Peak Moon Jade chose to self-destruct so abruptly, without any sign beforehand.

If not for the Black Tortoise Array, relying solely on his Moon Jade Early Stage foundation, that situation would have been troublesome.

The self-destruction of the Water Spirit Filth Race certainly thwarted Lu Ye's plans, as he keenly sensed the dissipating Moon Jade aura within the Insect Path, indicating the Filth Race that intended to reinforce had retreated instead.
