Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1716 - 1714: Slaying the Enemy

The turbid domain is not only larger than before, but the filth within it seems to be even denser.

This is undoubtedly the result of the mass death of low-level Filth Race creatures, especially those round ones with bodies rich in the Force of Filth; they seem to be born precisely to shape the turbid domain.

The Jade Conch Moon Jades are scattered in all directions, not relaxing their vigilance even while meditating.

Lu Ye observed their stance and understood that they'd undergone numerous battles recently. They clearly wanted to prevent the arrival of Moon Jade Filth Race, but unfortunately, from the looks of it, they were unsuccessful.

Because within the turbid domain, there's now a substantial presence of Moon Jade Filth Race, even more than before. Just like before, they are setting up those tower-like structures, attempting to stabilize the Insect Path.

Lu Ye also discovered a problem; the Insect Path seems to have widened compared to before, evidently indicating that changes have occurred here while he was away.

Detecting Lu Ye and his team's presence, Qiu Wu immediately came forward.

At first glance, seeing so many Moon Jades alongside Lu Ye caused Qiu Wu to pause.

Previously, Lu Ye mentioned bringing reinforcements, and Qiu Wu couldn't fathom how he planned to achieve this, but now it's clear—he did bring aid, over ten Moon Jades, each with a strong presence.

"Junior Brother Lu." Qiu Wu greeted as he approached with a group of Jade Conch Moon Jades.

"World Lord Qiu." Lu Ye responded, looking at the turbid domain with some confusion: "Why is the Insect Path more stable than before?"

From his earlier observations, each Moon Jade passing through the Insect Path would destabilize it significantly. Logically, with so many Moon Jade Filth Races passing through, the Insect Path should be quite unstable. Yet, the reality is contrary; it has become more stable.

Qiu Wu replied, "I don't know what tricks the Filth Race employed, about ten days ago, the Insect Path suddenly changed. Then several Moon Jade Filth Races rushed out of it, catching us off guard, forcing us to retreat, leading to the current situation."

The Jade Conch Moon Jades have been battling within the turbid domain for a long time, resulting in considerable exhaustion while continually fending off the filth corruption. Their situation is precarious; if facing only Divine Sea Filth Races, they'd manage. However, confronting sudden Moon Jade Filth Races, they couldn't hold out, retreating quickly avoided casualties.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye realized Elder Xuyuan's assessment was accurate, the Filth Race indeed has means to stabilize the Insect Path, though at a cost.

The Filth Race likely employs this method judiciously but hasn't reached a point allowing Sun Blaze passage. Hence, the cost isn't vast, still within their tolerable limits.

Elder Xuyuan suddenly spoke calmly: "Boy, kill this bunch of Filth Race, and they'll likely retreat willingly."

The first wave of Moon Jade Filth Races was entirely wiped out, now they sent another batch; if they achieve nothing again, unless forcibly allowing Sun Blaze's entry, they won't pose a threat to Jade Conch.

Without significant interest at Jade Conch, the Filth Race shouldn't resort to extremes.

They invade various stellar spaces, the battlefields aren't limited to one place, and not all are easily conquered, so the Filth Race doesn't necessarily need to capture Jade Conch, provided Jade Conch shows adequate self-defense prowess.

"This person is..." Qiu Wu looked at Elder Xuyuan, despite his Peak Moon Jade cultivation, he couldn't gauge the other's depth, causing him to reevaluate.

Seeing beyond his perception suggests the person is undoubtedly Sun Blaze!

From the Indeterminate Galaxy? But it's hardly been a month, how did Lu Ye fetch a Sun Blaze from such a far region?

"This is Elder Xuyuan!" Lu Ye briefly introduced without elaboration.

Led by Qiu Wu, the group of Moon Jades immediately paid respect, Qiu Wu expressed gratitude: "Thank you Elder for aiding us, Jade Conch is deeply grateful."

Elder Xuyuan waved dismissively: "The Filth Race harbors a blood feud with my race, helping you is also avenging my kind, no thanks needed."

Qiu Wu paused in surprise: "May I inquire the elder's race?"

Unlike Ma Shangsi, Qiu Wu wasn't as knowledgeable, though sensing Elder Xuyuan and others weren't humans, he couldn't discern their specific race.

"Soul Race, Soul Race masters the Soul Possession Technique, greatly enhancing the possessed individual's power. Later, we shall collaborate with the senior brothers and sisters from the Soul Race in combat." Lu Ye explained.

Qiu Wu and others, hearing this revelation, displayed newfound excitement, though unfamiliar with the Soul Race, the Soul Possession Technique seemed remarkable.

"How are everyone's conditions?" Lu Ye inquired.

Qiu Wu replied, "Mostly recovered," since retreating, they've not initiated further attacks, ten days were sufficient for full recovery.

"Then let's act!" Knowing time favors action, Lu Ye turned to the Soul Race Moon Jades behind Elder Xuyuan: "Thanks for your assistance, senior brothers and sisters!"

One Soul Race Moon Jade smiled: "It's our duty to fight external threats."

Lu Ye solemnly addressed Qiu Wu and his team: "Please do not resist, relax body and spirit!"

Although perplexed, everyone complied.

In the next moment, every Soul Race Moon Jade made moves toward the Jade Conch Moon Jades, shortly all Soul Race Moon Jades vanished, while the Jade Conch members displayed astonished expressions.

The Soul Race's Soul Possession Technique offers immense enhancement to those possessed, this enhancement spans all aspects, though it doesn't elevate base cultivation levels, it comes close.

The Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators feel that given their current state, they can fight across realms without any issues.

Ma Shangsi's expression is exceptionally intriguing; he never imagined that as a member of the Blood Race, he would one day cooperate with the Soul Race.

Lu Ye has experience being possessed, but at that time, both he and Lih Shang were only at the Constellation Late Stage.

Now, he is at the Moon Jade Early Stage, and the one possessing him is the speaker from just now, with cultivation at the Moon Jade Late Stage.

This instantaneous surge in power makes Lu Ye feel as though his body is overflowing with energy waiting to be unleashed.

This is just being possessed by a Moon Jade Late Stage soul; if Elder Xuyuan were to possess him... Of course, this idea is impractical because the stronger the Soul Race's cultivation, the greater the pressure on the possessed.

A Moon Jade cultivator can only withstand Soul Possession from a Moon Jade soul. If Xuyuan were to apply Soul Possession Technique on Lu Ye, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, let me know if you feel any pressure," came the voice of the Moon Jade Soul Race in his mind.

Lu Ye nodded: "I'm fine!"

His physique had reached its peak at the Constellation Realm, gathering his own Body Flower, while his psyche was strengthened by the seven-color Divine Lotus, making him feel no significant pressure from a Moon Jade Late Stage possessing him.

Other Moon Jade Early Stage cultivators would not find it so easy.

"Let's go!" Staring at the turbid domain, Lu Ye spoke softly.

Qiu Wu shouted: "Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!"

At the command, Qiu Wu advanced forward first, followed aggressively by a group of Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators, forging ahead fearlessly. This is a battle to protect the homeland, a fight they cannot retreat from; if they lose, the fate of Jade Conch will surely be grim.

Even though there are more Moon Jade Filth Race members to face this time, everyone is full of confidence.

Last time, without the aid of the Soul Race, they could still wipe out the enemy completely; this time, with Soul Race possession, there is no reason to lose.

The battle erupted instantly.

In the clash between Moon Jade, the aftermath alone is something the Divine Sea Filth Race cannot withstand. Even the Constellation Filth Race can endure but cannot intervene in the battlefield.

On multiple battlefields, combat erupted instantly.

The Moon Jade Filth Race were astounded to find that their enemies were different this time. Having fought against Qiu Wu and others when emerging from the Insect Path, they naturally knew the abilities of the Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators.

But in this clash, the Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators all had significantly increased strength, and during the confrontation, soul skills assaulted their psyche. Almost immediately, the Moon Jade Filth Race felt immense pressure.

If not for their larger numbers, they would have been at a disadvantage immediately.

Lu Ye had already confronted a Moon Jade mid-stage star beast Filth Race. This Filth Race had no intelligence, being in a state of enslavement.

He knew that to gain the upper hand in battle, he had to reduce the number of enemies. Given the current state of Jade Conch cultivators, if the numbers were similar, they are bound to have the advantage.

Hence, his immediate focus was on this star beast Filth Race, as killing an unintelligent enemy is relatively easier.

With Moon Jade Late Stage Soul Race possession, combined with Lu Ye's own foundation, eliminating this star beast Filth Race was not difficult.

It was like an octopus, with large tentacles sweeping across, shattering many Divine Sea Filth Race who couldn't dodge in time.

Lu Ye dodged its attack effortlessly, landing above its head, where his mana oscillated, and a Sun Blaze exploded, enveloping it.

Filthy blood splattered, the star beast Filth Race roared, its massive tentacles sweeping upwards. Lu Ye showed no intention of dodging; raising his saber, he slashed directly at one of the tentacles.

With Divine Sharp Edge enhancing, it cut through effortlessly like slicing tofu, and the massive tentacle was severed, driven by inertia, flying far away.

Saber light flickered continuously, and within two breaths, all tentacles of the star beast Filth Race were severed, leaving only an oval-shaped torso.

Filthy blood streamed from the wounds, instinctively creating a fearful expression in its eyes.

A massive saber light suddenly attacked from the front, and as Lu Ye passed by, the star beast Filth Race was already split into two halves.

Having slain one enemy, Lu Ye tirelessly rushed towards the nearest battlefield.

Outside the turbid domain, Elder Xuyuan, concealing his aura, watched the scene with furrowed brows. He suddenly realized that Lu Ye's strength was unusually strong.

Cold, fever, feeling terrible, dizzy.
