Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1713 - 1711: Not a Good Sign

The Filth Race isn't foolish; although they couldn't ascertain the specific details here, they could still sense the general situation.

They consecutively dispatched two Peak Moon Jades but couldn't gain an advantage, clearly realizing the difficulty posed by the Jade Conch.

The self-destruction of the Water Spirit Filth Race wasn't just because it knew it had no exit path; it was also a means to convey information to the Filth Race on the other end of the Insect Path.

Judging by the results, its scheme was undoubtedly successful. The Filth Race in the Insect Path, who had originally prepared to support, retreated, and the aura of the Moon Jade gradually dissipated.

The great war wasn't over yet.

On the side of the Filth Race, there were not only Moon Jades but also Constellations and Divine Seas. Although some died in the aftermath of the battle, most of them still managed to survive.

The battleships and Constellations of the Jade Conch hunted these Filth Races outside the gray mist area, but due to distance constraints, it was difficult to completely eradicate them in a short time.

However, by this time, several Moon Jades turned their attention, making it increasingly difficult for these Constellations and Divine Sea Filth Races to survive.

After a short while, the Filth Race within the gray mist area was annihilated, and a group of Moon Jades charged out once again.

Except for Ma Shangsi, nearly everyone else was covered in dust, their auras unstable, which was obviously a sign of erosion by the Force of Turbidity.

The duration of this battle wasn't very long, but in such an intense war, the Moon Jades of the Jade Conch ultimately couldn't protect themselves well and were inevitably eroded by the Force of Turbidity.

Especially during the last self-destruction of the Water Spirit Filth Race, the dense and thick turbidity shockwave spread everywhere, and even the Black Tortoise Array summoned by Lu Ye almost couldn't withstand it, let alone others.

A group of people gathered around Lu Ye, relying on his assistance to incinerate the turbidity within their bodies.

Lu Ye, busy with assisting, looked at the area shrouded in gray mist with his brow furrowed.

Things had gotten a bit complicated.

This battle not only thwarted the Filth Race's invasion plan of the Jade Conch, even annihilating the invading Filth Race without leaving any survivors, but the gray mist formed by the concentrated turbidity became even larger.

In terms of sheer size, it was now twice as large as before, and the turbidity within was undoubtedly even denser.

After all, so many Filth Races died, including over a dozen Moon Jades, and after their deaths, the Force of Filth within them would dissipate out.

Lu Ye had never experienced a battle like this before; merely killing the enemy wasn't enough, as their deaths left behind an indelible filth, which was truly troublesome.

A little later, the filth within the Moon Jades was incinerated clean, and their complexions looked significantly better.

Qiu Wu looked at the area shrouded in gray mist and said, "Although we won this battle, that Insect Path remains; if this isn't resolved, the Jade Conch will never find peace!"

Lu Ye turned his head to Ma Shangsi: "The Filth Race has already pinpointed the Jade Conch. If we find a way to eliminate this Insect Path, would they still have the ability to locate us again and then open another Insect Path?"

If so, even destroying the Insect Path this time would be futile, as the Filth Race could always open another Insect Path at any time.

Ma Shangsi said, "Most likely not. As far as I know, although the Celestial Frost Mirror has positioning capabilities, it requires some preparation. In other words, if the Filth Race established a foothold here with reinforcements, then they would have the ability to open another Insect Path. But now all Filth Races have been slaughtered, and without reinforcements, the positioning of the Celestial Frost Freezing Air projected from the Celestial Frost Mirror is completely random."

Lu Ye understood: "So basically, if we destroy this Insect Path, the Filth Race's ability to locate the Jade Conch is almost impossible."

The stellar space is vast, and even though the Celestial Frost Mirror is a stellar space supreme treasure, the placement of Celestial Frost Freezing Air is random. The Jade Conch, unfortunately picked once, can't possibly be selected again; the probability is too slim.

"That's right," Ma Shangsi nodded.

"Then that's good news," Lu Ye nodded and turned to Qiu Wu.

The latter understood and immediately ordered, "Take a brief rest, in half a day, follow the old man to destroy the Insect Path!"

If it were a stable Insect Path, a group of Moon Jades wouldn't be able to annihilate it with their capabilities, but this isn't a stable Insect Path, so there's some room for maneuver.

After a great battle and being infiltrated by turbidity, everyone was significantly exhausted and began to meditate to adjust their breath.

Half a day passed swiftly, with no movement from the Insect Path, yet it persistently remained, causing an undercurrent of anxiety within Lu Ye's heart.

Because the failure of the Filth Race at the Jade Conch was evident, they likely wouldn't dare send more Moon Jades, fearing further losses, which implies the Filth Race knows there's no good strategy for it.

But why does the Insect Path still remain? Logically, the Filth Race could have used the Celestial Frost Mirror to close the Insect Path.

The Filth Race indeed has this capability. Since they didn't do so, they evidently remain discontent and likely want to make another attempt!

Lu Ye had never dealt with the Filth Race before and found it difficult to guess their intentions, but regardless of what they intend, acting first remains preferable.

Led by Qiu Wu, a group of Moon Jades charged once more into the turbid lands, quickly arriving at the location of the Insect Path.

The formation spread out, taking their positions, and with Qiu Wu's command, "Move!"

The next instant, mana surged in waves, and the aura of each Moon Jade continued to rise, though no offensive action was taken.

Everyone was storing power, clearly preparing to unleash their strongest techniques to conclude decisively.

Lu Ye activated the Fire Phoenix Spirit Runes; despite knowing the chances were slim, under such circumstances, he could only do his utmost.

After twenty full breaths, with a roar, the first wave of attack from Jade Conch was launched, a raging assault formed by Mana crashing into the Insect Path.

Then came the second wave, the third wave...

Lu Ye's Fire Phoenix also charged towards the Insect Path, its scorching power almost warping the space around it.

The full force eruption of more than ten Moon Jade, though lacking any systematic cooperation and merely attacking in a frenzy, was still an assault that even a Sun Blaze on the opposite side had to avoid head-on.

The Void trembled, dazzling brilliance erupted continuously, and the aftershock impacted all around.

Lu Ye closely monitored the activity at the Insect Path until everything calmed down. When the Insect Path came into view again, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.

As expected, it's impossible!

Before taking action, he had actually suspected that the Insect Path was too mysterious to be easily shaken from the outside.

If this Insect Path could indeed be shaken by an external force, then there should have been some sign when the Water Spirit Filth Race self-destructed earlier.

One must know, when the Water Spirit Filth Race self-destructed, they were standing right next to the Insect Path, and the impact of that self-destruction was far more powerful than the onslaught Lu Ye and others had just unleashed.

If even the self-destruction of the Water Spirit Filth Race didn't impact the Insect Path, what significance do our methods have?

The only way to destroy this Insect Path is to work from the inside.

Simply put, it's by having the Moon Jade pass through the Insect Path. If enough of them pass through, they can destabilize the Insect Path, as seen when the Filth Race giant and Water Spirit Filth Race descended.

But this isn't possible; the Moon Jade of the Filth Race can invade Jade Conch through the Insect Path, but the Moon Jade on Jade Conch's side can't pass through the Insect Path to the Filth Race's side, that would be suicide.

Even if we assume that there's a Moon Jade willing to sacrifice themselves, one would not be enough. No one can calculate the exact number of Moon Jade needed for the Insect Path to collapse.

The Moon Jade of Jade Conch clearly realized this as well, and their expressions were all grim.

No second attempt was made; some things only need one verification, and further attempts would just be a waste of time and energy.

"Let's retreat first!" Qiu Wu waved his hand.

The group dejectedly exited the Place of Turbidity. This time, because no battle broke out, everyone protected themselves well and avoided being corrupted by the Force of Filth.

"What do we do now?" Han Dong looked worried.

Lu Ye was equally distressed; the Insect Path looming here is a tremendous problem, not to mention, a group of Jade Conch's Moon Jade were practically nailed here, preventing him from leaving as well.

But at present, we truly lack the ability to destroy the Insect Path, so we can only hope that the Filth Race would be sensible and shut it themselves.

In the previous battle, from Jade Conch's perspective, the losses of the Filth Race were undoubtedly significant, considering more than ten Moon Jade were involved, and even two Peak Moon Jade died.

But that's from Jade Conch's perspective; as itself isn't strong, a dozen Moon Jade is a significant force.

However, from the Filth Race's perspective, mere dozens of Moon Jade might be insignificant, so even with such losses, they haven't given up on Jade Conch; otherwise, they would've closed the Insect Path long ago.

The presence of the Insect Path now indicates that the Filth Race still has designs on Jade Conch.

This is not a good omen.

Everyone fell silent, and no one had an effective solution.

In the midst of such silence, there was suddenly movement at the Insect Path.

Everyone instantly noticed and quickly turned their attention in that direction.

Within the Insect Path, numerous, faintly emerging auras began to appear and become increasingly clear, indicating that there were Filth Race members traversing the path from the other side, heading this way.

From the strength of the auras, the Filth Race coming are not very powerful, in fact, very weak.

All are only at the Divine Sea level...

Unlike Moon Jade traversing the Insect Path, which takes time, the Divine Sea Filth Race travels the path quickly so that almost immediately after everyone sensed them, Filth Race members were rushing out from the Insect Path, arriving at the Place of Turbidity.

One after another, figures appeared.

In just a moment, more than a hundred Divine Sea Filth Race members had appeared, with more continuing to come.

"Kill them!" Qiu Wu commanded, and there was no need for him to take action himself; one of the battleships unleashed a bright beam, striking the gathering point of the Filth Race.

In an instant, countless Divine Sea Filth Race members met their demise.

But this couldn't stop the invasion of the Filth Race, with a continuous stream of various figures emerging from the Insect Path.

Both battleships began moving, slaying batch after batch, but even so, they were somewhat overwhelmed.

The Jade Conch Constellation surrounding the Place of Turbidity began to take action, and the exit of the Insect Path became a graveyard for living beings.
