The violent energy fluctuations subsided, and Hu Guang widened his eyes and looked towards the spot where Lu Ye once stood, only to find that the other party's figure was gone, causing him to feel uneasy.

At that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted from the right flank of the fleet. When he turned his head to look, he was met with a scene that made his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets. Lu Ye had somehow appeared there, standing atop a Tiger Shark battleship, his long blade already unsheathed, gripped with both hands in a reverse hold, mana surging violently as he stabbed down at the Tiger Shark beneath him.

The Boulder Mountain Saber, already unmatched in Sharpness, became even more lethal with the Divine Sharp Edge Spirit Runes. Even the Tiger Shark battleship couldn't withstand such a strike; the blade pierced through like cutting tofu, all the way to the hilt.

With a pull and a horizontal slash, in a blur of motion, a hole was carved into the Tiger Shark battleship.

Inside the battleship, five Constellation demon cultivators hadn't even reacted to what happened, only feeling a sudden brightness before they looked up and met Lu Ye's icy gaze.

The long blade vibrated, and a saber light like a stream of white fabric slashed out. Inside the Tiger Shark battleship, chaos ensued as blood splattered and life was obliterated.

Lu Ye had already leaped onto the nearby second Tiger Shark battleship, repeating the process.

Hu Guang was shocked!

Though from the brief prior encounter, it was clear that this Third Island Master of Three Worlds Island was audacious, enough to recklessly slaughter Zixuan Moon Jade with a doppelganger — an act only a fool without any sense would attempt.

But he never imagined that this man's courage had reached such a level.

Facing an entire fleet from Zixuan, he dared to come alone to create havoc. Did this person truly not know the meaning of dying?

What infuriated Hu Guang even more was that Lu Ye had succeeded.

One Tiger Shark battleship, five Constellation demon cultivators, although not a massive loss compared to the size of this enormous fleet, it was almost negligible. But some things couldn't be measured by the size of the loss.

Zixuan launched an attack on Three Worlds Island, only to be harassed halfway by a Moon Jade cultivator from Three Worlds Island. How could the demon cultivators tolerate this?

Moreover, given Lu Ye's efficiency earlier, if not stopped, the losses would inevitably escalate, and if it led to too great a loss, even if they captured Three Worlds Island, Zixuan couldn't accept it.

The reason for deploying a force of four thousand was to crush Three Worlds Island with an absolute advantage and avoid their own losses as much as possible.

"Courting death!" Hu Guang shouted angrily as he swept towards Lu Ye, simultaneously surging his Mental Consciousness to issue two commands.

One command was for Yoan Che and Bao Youyou to attack together and encircle Lu Ye, and the other was to order all Tiger Shark battleships to activate their defenses.

His response was undoubtedly swift, but even so, in that brief moment, Lu Ye destroyed three more Tiger Shark battleships, with no surviving Constellation demon cultivators inside, all killed.

Hu Guang felt his heart bleeding.

Looking at the entire conflict between Zixuan and Three Worlds Island, it was Zixuan that schemed first, yet from beginning to end, Zixuan only killed a newly advanced Moon Jade, Wey Po. On the other hand, Three Worlds Island first exterminated Junior Brother Tiger, then killed Red Elephant and two hundred Constellations, and now even three Tiger Shark battleships were lost.

In comparison, Zixuan's losses were too great, and the one who initiated all of this was none other than this guy named Lu Ye!

"Be careful of that blade, it's very sharp!" Hu Guang hurriedly transmitted an audio message to Bao Youyou and Yoan Che as he rushed towards Lu Ye, having personally witnessed a Tiger Shark battleship, under his order to activate its defenses, being effortlessly slashed open by Lu Ye, with the cultivators slaughtered.

The allure of the Tiger Shark battleship lay in its compactness and nimbleness, with just several Constellations piloting it to exert almost Moon Jade level strength.

In other words, a Tiger Shark battleship with its defenses activated was nearly equivalent to a Moon Jade Early Stage cultivator activating their protective magic. Yet even so, it could not withstand the slash of that long blade, easily breached.

The demon cultivators indeed had formidable physiques, but even they had to be wary of such a sharp offensive.

The speed of Hu Guang and the three Moon Jade cultivators was indeed swift, and they were nearing Lu Ye in no time. However, what infuriated Hu Guang even more was that the seemingly aggressive Lu Ye withdrew just before the three of them reached him.

Obviously not wanting head-on confrontation, which was undoubtedly the most correct choice, fighting alone against three, especially when the three were all Moon Jade Late Stage. Retreating first was the most prudent action to take.

Hu Guang had anticipated this scenario, yet when Lu Ye made this choice, his heart remained restless. He hesitated whether to pursue, but then Yoan Che shouted, "Don't let him escape; his aura is somewhat unstable!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Guang immediately sensed carefully and found, indeed as Yoan Che said, that although Lu Ye appeared normal, the slightly unstable aura couldn't be concealed.

He immediately understood that it was likely the repercussion of losing two doppelgangers earlier, which backlashed onto Lu Ye's true body.

In the cultivation world, there are many kinds of Clone Techniques, but generally speaking, when a doppelganger is lost, it greatly affects the true body. Lu Ye had lost two doppelgangers back in Zixuan; how could he be completely unscathed?

His act of covering up was merely an attempt to conceal his own inconvenience.

Hu Guang hesitated no longer. He ordered the fleet to continue advancing while he, along with two other demon cultivators, continued their pursuit, steadily closing the distance.

This chase lasted for the time of half an incense stick, crossing nearly ten thousand miles. As the figure fleeing ahead was about to enter his attack range, Hu Guang silently activated his own power, revealing the phantom of six fox tails waving behind him, distorting the Void. This undoubtedly represented the all-out force of his next strike.

On the other side, Bao Youyou and Yoan Che were also amassing their own strength, preparing to join Hu Guang in delivering a fatal blow to Lu Ye.

The three Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators were so well-coordinated. As fellow Moon Jades, no one in the stellar space could withstand them. They were confident they could seriously injure or even kill Lu Ye here.

However, just as the three were about to make their move, Lu Ye, who had been fleeing, suddenly stopped, turned his head, and gave them a cold glance.

The next moment, a complex spirit rune suddenly formed beneath Lu Ye's feet.

Seeing this, a sense of dread struck Hu Guang's heart. Though he did not know what the spirit rune represented, he intuitively felt something was amiss. Without hesitation, he unleashed a fierce attack, sending a fiery assault towards Lu Ye.

Simultaneously, Bao Youyou and Yoan Che attacked together.

The violent forces covered the area where Lu Ye was, obscuring his figure from view. When the three demon cultivators arrived, their expressions sank.

Lu Ye was gone, yet there were no signs of death or destruction one would expect.

Bao Youyou's face was filled with unease: "Is this also a doppelganger?"

If it was a doppelganger, then where was Lu Ye's true body? In their pursuit of Lu Ye, the three Moon Jades had all set out, leaving the fleet without any strong defenders.

Hu Guang shook his head, abruptly turning to look back in the direction they came, his face changed dramatically: "Return to defense quickly!"

He had already realized the seriousness of the situation. Whether that was Lu Ye's true body or a doppelganger, there was no trace of his demise. It was as if he had simply vanished. Thinking back to that astonishing spirit rune that appeared suddenly, Hu Guang immediately understood that Lu Ye had mastered a profound transposition technique and had already teleported to some unknown place.

Rumor had it that Three Worlds Island had a talisman shop of the Dwarf Race, perhaps he used a transposition talisman crafted by them.

Hu Guang only hoped that Lu Ye was not too close to the fleet, so they would still have time to defend because Dwarf Race's transposition talismans were generally random, unable to pinpoint precise locations.

But in the next moment, his hope was shattered as the audio talisman suddenly began vibrating relentlessly, signaling numerous messages reaching him at once.

Hu Guang's body went cold. With trembling hands, he retrieved the audio talisman, and as his Mental Consciousness probed it, his vision darkened.

At the same time, Bao Youyou and Yoan Che were checking their own audio talismans, the former exclaimed, "It's bad! Lu Ye is slaughtering over at the fleet!"

The most dreadful thing had happened.

This meant that after Lu Ye teleported away, he appeared directly by the fleet.

Hu Guang didn't know how the other party pulled off such a feat, but he knew it was no coincidence. The three Moon Jade demon cultivators rushed desperately towards the fleet, but they had pursued too far. Even if they returned to defend now, it would take some time.

In the vast All Phenomena Ocean, it suddenly began to rain battleships today, with one Tiger Shark battleship after another spiraling down to crash into the sea, vanishing without even a ripple.

The many cultivators in the distance watching this shocking scene were all struck with an unparalleled sense of astonishment.

For in their view, this was nothing short of a massacre—one person slaughtering an entire massive fleet!

From afar, the figure darting among the huge fleet seemed as insignificant as an ant. Yet that small figure would bring doom to any Tiger Shark battleship it touched.

The fleet did attempt a counterattack, but it was useless and only resulted in numerous injuries from friendly fire.

The force dispatched by Zixuan this time comprised a central battleship that accommodated a thousand, two large battleships each holding three hundred and each with a Moon Jade on board, and the remainder manned by groups of five using nearly five hundred Tiger Shark battleships. Such a fleet size could only be mustered by a top-tier power like Zixuan Island in the All Phenomena Ocean.

With such a fleet, no force below a top-class Spirit Island could withstand them.

When the news of Zixuan dispatching forces to Three Worlds Island spread, all cultivators thought that Three Worlds Island was doomed, destined to be conquered and its ownership changed.

Yet no one expected this intense battle to erupt not at Three Worlds Island but on the way there—by the Third Island Master of Three Worlds Island, Lu Ye, single-handedly tearing through the fleet, destroying Tiger Shark battleships, and slaughtering Zixuan demon cultivators.

Zixuan's massive fleet was utterly helpless against it!

No matter the ultimate fate of Three Worlds Island, the legendary feat of one person standing against an entire fleet was bound to be talked about for centuries, generating endless discussions.
