Therefore, Uncle Duan had warned Lu Ye never to provoke the Insect Race near the insect hive, otherwise it would be tantamount to provoking an entire insect hive.
Now, the silhouettes gathered near the Star Abyss Gate are all of the Insect Race, which can only mean that an insect hive occupies the other side, leading to this situation.
The reason these Insect Race beings remain near the Star Abyss Gate and haven't left is simple: they haven't forged a Dao foundation and are not in the Dao Realm. Once they leave the coverage of the Star Abyss ambience, their strength will greatly weaken.
However, from the previous encounter in that domain, some Dao Realm Insect Race beings have already left here and ventured into stellar space. He likely hasn't killed the only one.
Lu Ye's main body arrived, and the nine Dao avatars have already begun searching around, hoping to find something; otherwise, any Dao Realm's invasion of a domain would result in massive deaths.
His figure dashed forward, approaching the Star Abyss Gate, and the various Insect Race beings there immediately became aware, rushing towards him amid shrieks.
Lu Ye did not dodge or retreat, charging straight through, only urging the Power of the Path to protect himself.
One Star Abyss Insect Race after another gathered around him, growing like a snowball. By the time Lu Ye's figure rushed to the front of the Star Abyss Gate, more than half of the Insect Race had been attracted to him.
Suddenly, his figure paused, and the long saber unsheathed.
As the saber light flickered, a giant lotus blossom bloomed instantly, enveloping the surroundings.
Lotus Sun!
Fragmented saber lights danced and spun; in this instant, the carapace, which the Insect Race prided itself on, could offer no effective protection. Severed limbs and shattered flesh flew, blood water flowed abundantly, transforming a thousand-zhang radius into an Asura Purgatory.
Not a drop of blood touched Lu Ye as he dashed forward, each pause an execution of slaughter.
The Insect Race was terrified and shocked, just like the Dao Realm Insect Race he had killed in that domain before. No matter how they tried, they couldn't understand how stellar space contained such formidable power!
In their view, any cultivator within stellar space was a lamb to the slaughter; they only needed to invade to act recklessly.
Thus, within the Star Abyss, certain beings referred to stellar space as a slaughterhouse, while they, the lofty Star Abyss creatures, wielded the butcher's knife, taking what they wanted.
Finally, some Insect Race beings sensed danger and attempted to flee, even though leaving the coverage of the Star Abyss ambience would greatly weaken their power, it was better than waiting to die here.
Some Insect Race beings even wanted to escape back to the Star Abyss.
However, Lu Ye would not allow them to do as they please. Once those Insect Race beings escape back to the Star Abyss, they will reveal the situation on the home planet, and the Insect Matriarch on the other side of the insect hive will not send clan members to their death.
Lu Ye dashed again, blocking in front of the Star Abyss Gate, killing several Insect Race beings rushing to this place. With a gesture, the Talent Tree Avatar appeared.
There was no time to don clothes; he let the Avatar guard the Star Abyss Gate while his main body went to pursue and kill the escaping Insect Race.
Even if those Insect Race beings were left unchecked, it wouldn't cause much trouble; their maximum strength upon departure was only Peak Sun Blaze. But since the opportunity was there, naturally he wanted to kill them all.
Moments later, the main body returned.
The Avatar continued the slaughter as unaware Insect Race beings occasionally walked through the Star Abyss Gate, these ambitious beings completely unaware of what awaited them, often being crushed to pieces with a single punch from the Avatar before finding their footing.
Standing with focused attention before the Star Abyss Gate, Lu Ye observed that its scale, based on the current situation, was slightly smaller than that of the All Phenomena Ocean.
In other words, it should have opened not long after the Star Abyss Gate in the All Phenomena Ocean, with a time difference of no more than three months.
But because this is a desolate star region, with hardly any cultivators passing through, no one had noticed it.
Until that Dao Realm Insect Race invaded the domain named Lanyun World, it was discovered by the Insight of Tree Elder's Avatar, urgently summoning Lu Ye to come.
The situation at the Star Abyss Gate here needed no worry, but certainly more Dao Realm Insect Race beings have invaded stellar space, requiring immediate action.
The Treasure Blood Avatar has already started searching, with Lu Ye stationed in the Talent Tree Avatar, his main body following to leave.
Days later, Chang Yu, Chong Yue, Bewitchment Shadow, Chen Li, and Du Qingsha received word and came one after another, joining the search and elimination effort.
As expected, they found traces of Dao Realm Insect Race, with over a dozen scattered across various places. These Insect Race beings, mostly at the level of two or three Dao, stood no chance against everyone; once discovered, they were killed.
A half-month later, Lu Ye departed.
The Star Abyss Gate near Lanyun World was now to be guarded by Chong Yue and Bewitchment Shadow.
As for the All Phenomena Ocean... Ma Bin was out of retreat; though the accumulated Dao force was sparse, his fifth Dao strength was enough to replace Chong Yue's position and assist Jiu Yan. With further acquisition of Dao force, there is a chance to grow stronger.
And there was little movement from the side Bewitchment Shadow went to, the Changyue Star Cluster, with Zi Ji stationed there, so the problem was not significant.
At the Soul Race ancestral land, as soon as Lu Ye entered, he felt the call of the Warm Divine Lotus.
This supreme treasure that opened up the ancestral land seemed to know his current intent.
Following this call, he penetrated deep into the ancestral land, sensing some foreign Peak Sun Blaze ambience from each Lotus Land along the way.
The Soul Race ancestral land has been open for some time, and all those meeting the criteria of Sun Blaze have been brought in by the Soul Race clansmen to cultivate quietly in the ancestral land, awaiting the explosion of potential in the future.
The age-old rule that flesh and blood cannot enter the ancestral land is now completely obsolete.
And the contribution of the Soul Race is bound to become a significant aid in helping the stellar space overcome this calamity.
Soon, Lu Ye found himself again beside the Warm Divine Lotus.
Gazing at this magnificent and wondrous object, Lu Ye couldn't help but once again envision the figure of the great power he had seen earlier.
For a moment, he pondered what kind of character that person must be. The Warm Divine Lotus was considered his supreme treasure, yet he chose to take it out to create the ancestral land space for the survival of the Soul Race—a deed of unparalleled kindness.
Moreover, he had Sacred Beasts like the divine dragon and Phoenix by his side.
Lu Ye felt an intuitive connection, suspecting that Yang Qing might be related to this figure, as Yang Qing belongs to the Dragon Race, but the exact nature of their connection remains unknown.
Tree Elder once mentioned that Yang Qing is an exceptionally powerful being in the Star Abyss, with many doppelgangers scattered across various stellar spaces, seemingly searching for something.
What could compel such a powerful being to search for, is unlikely to be an ordinary item.
Gathering his thoughts, Lu Ye sat cross-legged before the Warm Divine Lotus, preparing to hone his Soul Suppressing Secret Technique. From here on, it would be a long and monotonous retreat for cultivation.
In the All Phenomena Ocean, he had a Talent Tree Avatar outside, constantly monitoring the movements in the stellar space.
But not here, considering the ancestral land space is secluded, and refining the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique demands complete dedication.
Mental Consciousness surging, psyche leaving the body!
The Soul Suppressing Secret Technique had reached Final Achievement; this out-of-body experience posed little danger to Lu Ye unless someone could break his Soul Suppressing Secret Technique and directly harm his soul body.
The petite soul body stood only three inches tall, small and delicate, yet it was the essence of Lu Ye's spirit. Any damage would scatter the psyche, even if the body remained intact.
In the outside world, such an experience depleted Soul Power, but within the ancestral land space, the soul body now felt a comforting warmth.
Just as he was about to meditate, Lu Ye suddenly squinted his eyes because the Warm Divine Lotus emitted an extremely brilliant light, enveloping his soul body in a gentle force, drawing him forward.
The Warm Divine Lotus rapidly magnified in his view, and in an instant, vibrant colors filled his vision.
When Lu Ye regained awareness, he had already arrived above an endless ocean, deep waters with a calm surface.
He appeared on a nine-color island, reminiscent of the Lotus Land within the ancestral land, yet not entirely the same.
Momentarily amazed, he turned to observe his surroundings.
Soon, he understood where he was.
This place was within the Warm Divine Lotus, and the boundless ocean here was the vast Soul Energy he sensed from the Lotus last time.
Moreover, under the brilliance radiating from the nine-color island, Lu Ye's entire soul body felt comfortably warm, requiring no effort, as his soul power gradually increased, as if pure and invisible soul energy flowed into his soul body, strengthening himself!
He could even sense his physical body, able to return his psyche at any moment.
But in such an environment, no cultivator would make such a foolish decision; the interior of the Warm Divine Lotus was simply the ultimate Sacred Land for cultivating the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique.
In this state, no matter how Lu Ye refined the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique, not only would his soul power not diminish, but it would actually increase.
This meant he could cultivate indefinitely, and with the advantages of the Talent Tree, his efficiency in refining the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique was unmatched.
Lu Ye was immensely delighted.
Aware that it was the Warm Divine Lotus bestowing favor upon him, he immediately bowed appreciatively: "Thank you, Divine Lotus predecessor!"
Uncertain of what to call it or if the Warm Divine Lotus could comprehend his intentions.
After expressing his gratitude, Lu Ye sat down, with a thought of his Mental Consciousness, a dilapidated battleship appeared beneath his feet, and as Soul Power was expended, the battleship swiftly perfected, and crew members gradually appeared.
Lu Ye tirelessly activated the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique, honing its intricacies.
Now having achieved Final Achievement with the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique, further refinement leads to Perfection, reaching which Lu Ye could truly be considered Peak Sun Blaze, at which point he'd have the qualifications to forge his Dao foundation, truly becoming a Dao Realm cultivator.
Rather than being like now, able to wield Dao force, yet still just a Sun Blaze.
Lu Ye eagerly anticipated the arrival of that day, as what he aimed to achieve was not only Peak Sun Blaze but also ultimate mastery in his psyche.
He had already completed most of the cultivation of the Three Blossoms: the Body Flower and Qi Flower had been achieved, with only the Divine Flower remaining.
