Sage of Humanity-Chapter 747 - 745
In the Soaring Dragon World, the moment Lu Ye glimpsed Hua Ci through what seemed like a reflective surface of water, his heart settled greatly!
The matters of today are secure!
He had originally hesitated whether to stay in the Soaring Dragon World for a longer period of cultivation, waiting until the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators had mostly dispersed before leaving. Now, that was no longer necessary.
With a thought, the water-like ripples in front of him suddenly became more real.
At the altar that held the remnants of a broken teleportation array, several array cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge were deliberating how to repair the teleportation array before them when an unexpected change occurred.
Above the altar, the Void, which was like a calm lake surface, was disturbed as if a stone had been thrown in, creating mysterious ripples.
The array cultivators were all taken aback, one of them asked, "Brother Yuan, what did you do?"
The one called Brother Yuan was completely baffled, "I didn't do anything. I was just trying to see if the formation could be activated directly without repairing it."
Who knew it would actually work?
The array cultivators were overjoyed. Had they known this earlier, why would they have bothered repairing it?
Just as they were thinking this, a figure suddenly appeared within the ripples.
It stunned several array cultivators.
While there was an anomaly here, the nearby Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators had also noticed, so the moment that figure was revealed, someone was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Lu Yiye!"
Faintly, through the ripple-like reflection, they saw Lu Ye's figure and saw a world desolate and lifeless, seemingly headed towards destruction.
Someone quick-witted, recognizing Lu Ye the instant he appeared, already unleashed the power of weapon control and magic and spells aiming to strike first for an upper hand. However, all attacks passed through Lu Ye's figure without causing him any harm.
More cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge converged from all around, turning the scene into chaos.
In the crowd, Xia Liang, Tan Sheng, and others stared intently at Lu Ye's reflection, unable to discern his actual state with their keen eyes. They faintly felt that this reflection was not substantial, thus even striking out was pointless.
But having waited here for one and a half months, and finally seeing a turn of events, they were naturally thrilled.
This time, they were determined to kill Lu Yiye by any means and could not allow him to escape again!
"You…" On the other side of the crowd, a Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivator stared blankly at the gentle woman in front of him, not knowing why he suddenly found the smile of this healing cultivator from the Haotian Alliance somewhat bewitching.
"Sorry about this," said the woman, her voice as tender as water, baffling the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivator who was receiving her treatment.
Then he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
A layer of emerald light, emanating from the gentle woman's delicate body, suddenly transformed into a thick green fog and violently swept in all directions.
From the emergence to the spread of the green fog, it all occurred in a single breath's time. At that moment, almost everyone's attention was drawn to Lu Ye's reflection, completely unaware of this change.
The emerald fog instantly enveloped an area of hundreds of yards. At the same time, at the places where Hua Ci had once walked, huge, colorful, and vivid mushrooms suddenly sprang out of nowhere. They grew rapidly from small to large as if someone was inflating them. The bright mushrooms swiftly expanded and then burst open, releasing countless tiny spores that were invisible to the naked eye, mingling with the rollicking green fog, with the sound of 'puff puff puff' incessant to the ears.
"What is this?" Cries of alarm arose.
"It's poison!"
"Damn it, the Haotian Alliance has poisoned us!"
"Get out quickly!"
...
Screams erupted one after another. The scene, already chaotic due to Lu Ye's sudden appearance, became even more tumultuous.
Figures shot into the sky, quickly escaping the area covered by the poison fog. Even so, these cultivators felt an unbearable itching as if countless insects were wriggling in their flesh, and what frightened them even more was the sluggishness starting to affect the flow of their spirit force.
The Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators reacted swiftly to this anomaly; in just three breaths' time, almost everyone had fled.
Only Xia Liang and a few others like Tan Sheng remained in front of the altar.
It wasn't that they were immune to all poisons; this sudden poison fog was something they could not easily resist, coupled with the sinister spores from those bizarre mushrooms. The longer they stayed, the worse their predicament became.
But Xia Liang saw clearly that just as Lu Yiye's figure appeared, seemingly about to step out from somewhere, this strange change occurred.
This was clearly someone working with Lu Yiye from inside, looking to escape from this place.
Therefore, he was unwilling to just back down. Having failed to kill Lu Yiye several times, his patience was wearing thin.
Standing in the midst of the poison fog, he stared intensely at the layer of reflection-like light screen, looking toward Lu Ye who seemed to be in another space. He had thought that the other party couldn't see him, but unexpectedly, Lu Ye looked up, meeting his gaze, and revealed a provoking smile.
"Dammit!" Xia Liang was furious!
If he could see him, Lu Ye could also see him!
"Brother Xia, we need to leave!" Tan Sheng's face was greenish. Having stood in the dense green fog for less than 10 breaths, his strength felt suppressed by about thirty percent. Staying longer might make the situation worse, unsure whether they would be poisoned to death; but if Lu Yiye broke out, given his current state, he might not be able to withstand him.
Saying this, he didn't wait for Xia Liang's agreement but grabbed him and soared into the sky.
"Ahhh!" Xia Liang roared.
How he hated this!
Boundless Rage!
When the opportunity was right in front of him, when he could have finally killed Lu Yiye, why did such an upheaval occur?
Who was it that tampered from behind the scenes?
Almost at the same time Xia Liang and Tan Sheng left, Lu Ye also took a step forward.
With one step across, there was now a difference of a domain.
He felt a slight regret; it seemed that the plan to take refuge in the Soaring Dragon domain at the face of danger was no longer feasible.
He realized that if he truly walked out from the Soaring Dragon domain, there would be a slight delay, though this process only lasted for a short three to five breaths. Yet, for a powerful cultivator, those three to five breaths had too many variables.
And that was just the exit.
When taking refuge in the Soaring Dragon domain through Soaring Dragon Origin, what would that be like?
That, he would have to personally try in the future to find out.
A familiar aura hit him face-on, one that he hadn't paid much attention to while constantly active on the Cloud River battlefield. However, after experiencing the desolation of the Soaring Dragon domain, he was now able to appreciate the beauty of the Cloud River battlefield.
It was filled with vitality and a zest for life.
The reflection behind him, resembling the surface of water, soon disappeared.
Without hesitation, Lu Ye immediately activated his Move-Like-The-Wind and dashed towards the direction in his memory. freewёbnoνel.com
In that direction, amidst the thick fog, Hua Ci stood quietly, a Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivator by her feet, seemingly asleep, with a peaceful expression.
Suddenly, she lifted her gaze forward. Although she couldn't see anything, she could distinctly feel a vastly strong vitality rapidly approaching her.
"This powerful?" Hua Ci's face showed surprise.
As a healing cultivator—who was, for the time being, considered one—her perception of vitality was sharper than that of other cultivators.
The last time Lu Ye visited her in the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest, though his vitality was robust, it wasn't to such an exaggerated extent.
Such vitality… she had only seen it in Shui Yuan.
In other words, speaking of vitality alone, Lu Ye of the Cloud River Realm could now be almost comparable to Shui Yuan, who had achieved the Divine Sea Realm.
This was undoubtedly a very incredible thing.
Had Hua Ci not been certain that the vitality was Lu Ye's, she would have thought it was someone else rushing towards her.
Little did she know, just nearly a month ago, Lu Ye had been depleted of his origin, withered in appearance, and nearly dead in the Soaring Dragon domain.
The immense vitality he now had was all brought by the Soaring Dragon Origin.
Even though only a trace of the Soaring Dragon Origin remained, it was, after all, the origin of a world, which was still immensely vast compared to an individual like a cultivator.
It was as though a drying ocean had poured its last waters into Lu Ye, a small pond, bringing him benefits that were far more significant than mere resurrection.
Winds pounded against him, and immediately afterward, Hua Ci felt herself being wrapped around the waist by someone, and a familiar voice rang by her ear: "Hold on to me!"
The tone was decisive and unquestionable, subtly infused with an irresistible dominance.
Hua Ci involuntarily opened her arms and embraced the man before her.
With a swish…
Red spirit force flowed out, spreading behind Lu Ye, forming a pair of wings. Intricate patterns on the wings flashed with light, enhanced by the Move-Like-The-Wind.
Surrounded by enemies from all directions, in this perilous situation with the tender warmth of a beautiful woman in his arms, her familiar body fragrance lingering around his nose, Lu Ye's state of mind immediately stabilized.
Looking down, eye to eye with Hua Ci, Lu Ye smiled slightly, "Let's go!"
Hua Ci was stunned by his smile for a moment, still not recovering when her body suddenly swept forward at an incredibly fast speed.
The speed was something she had never experienced before, making her let out a low cry of surprise.
Boom…
Within the dense green fog, a figure brimming with energy ferociously burst forth, the red wings behind him flapping, blowing a hole through the thick fog.
"Lu Yiye!" a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge exclaimed upon seeing this scene.
In the direction forward of Lu Ye, there were suddenly more than ten people spread out, all on high alert.
Seeing Lu Ye charging towards them, they were overjoyed and rushed forward to meet him.
"Clang!"
The Boulder Mountain Saber was unsheathed.
Lu Ye, with one arm cradling Hua Ci's soft waist, held her tightly against him, with a force that almost made her feel like she was melting into his body, wielding the saber in his other hand looking like a fierce beast that had just broken out of its cage, wrapped in endless ferocity and violence.
"Those who obstruct me, die!"
The long saber cleaved through the Void, its light flashing; screams ensued, and those Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators confronting Lu Ye fell like raindrops.
