The Blood Sea surged and occasionally boiled, with fierce waves of battle crashing within, and occasional cries of surprise.
For hundreds of thousands of miles in all directions, there wasn't a soul in sight.
In a confrontation between Dao Fusion cultivators, who among the Path Entry would dare to linger and not evade?
After half a tea's time, the Blood Sea gradually subsided. Lu Ye's face was indifferent as he put away the Boulder Mountain Saber. A huge wound marked his body, with blood flowing from it.
The strength of that Zhongpu was formidable, so even though he had joined forces with a human race Dao Fusion and used a Blood Race secret technique, he still paid a price to slay the opponent.
Not only was he injured, but that human race Dao Fusion was also wounded, though not seriously.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you..." The human race Dao Fusion looked at Lu Ye with a complex expression, truly unable to fathom what was happening.
The battle alliance had issued a notice suspecting Lu Ye of becoming a hidden agent and had even ordered that Lu Ye be captured alive.
But considering his recent actions, how could he have the tendencies of a hidden agent?
A few days ago, he had killed a Blood Race Dao Fusion, and today he cooperated with him to slay an Insect Race Dao Fusion, making it impossible for him to be a hidden agent.
Lu Ye silently felt himself, for at the instant he slew Zhongpu, he received another Star Abyss Blessing.
What was a blessing that others sought but couldn't find was to him as simple and frequent as eating and drinking.
But Lu Ye knew this was the benefit brought by defeating the strong with the weak. His strength had indeed reached the level of Dao Fusion, almost equivalent to the 6th Order Dao Fusion, but ultimately, his realm was still just Entry to the Path.
By slaying a 6th Order Dao Fusion expert with an Entry to the Path cultivation, there was naturally a high chance of receiving a Star Abyss Blessing.
A flash of joy briefly appeared on his face.
As he tidied up his spoils, he turned to the human race Dao Fusion who had spoken, "Zhongpu is dead, now is the perfect time to strike the star. If I were you, Fellow Daoist, I wouldn't miss it!"
Even if the Insect and Blood Races wanted to dispatch Dao Fusions over, it would take some time, and this time gap is undoubtedly the moment to strike.
The other person showed a moment of realization, then responded by clasping his fists at Lu Ye, "Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist!"
Lu Ye nodded slightly and turned around to leave. This eerie place was not one to linger in. He had shown himself here, and the alliance would undoubtedly have a response. Perhaps someone stronger was already on their way here.
"Fellow Daoist Lu!" The voice of the human race Dao Fusion came from behind, "If one day you wish to return to the home planet and explain the situation, I would be willing to vouch for you with my life and family, that you're not possibly a hidden agent or a traitor!"
Lu Ye's figure paused briefly but did not turn back, only raised his hand and waved.
Days later, Lu Ye was lying low in another warzone, waiting for the Dark Butterfly's move. In this battle of wits and courage across the void, who would come out on top was yet to be determined.
But as long as he could hold on, if not escape Dark Butterfly's control altogether, he could at least seize significant initiative.
Much like days ago, the lurking Lu Ye felt the Mental Consciousness fluctuations of a Dao Fusion expert probing this area.
It's happening again!
Lu Ye coldly smirked to himself, knowing that Dark Butterfly wouldn't just give up like that.
With prior experience, Lu Ye understood that the human race Dao Fusion would soon arrive to investigate, and the previous scene would likely repeat, forcing him to emerge again.
Dark Butterfly wanted to use this strategy to leave him with nowhere to hide and force him back to the insect hive.
As he was pondering this, a voice entered his ear, "Lu Ye, the Insect Matriarch Dark Butterfly said, if you obediently return now, she can let bygones be bygones. But if you obstinately refuse to comply, don't blame her for being unkind!"
Lu Ye ignored it, treating it as wind blowing by his ears, yet the next moment his expression suddenly changed. A sharp pain erupted throughout his body as if something struck him hard.
His expression shifted, and he quickly realized what had happened.
This was obviously Dark Butterfly self-harming, connected by the Chains of Life, causing him to share half of the damage.
His hidden aura leaked a bit at that moment.
Having been instructed beforehand, the Insect Race Dao Fusion who came here immediately looked towards Lu Ye's hiding spot, yet did not approach but instead stirred their Mental Consciousness to send audio transmissions in all directions, "The human race traitor Lu Ye is here, the human race traitor Lu Ye is here!"
Lu Ye spat blood!
He was thinking of engaging in a battle of wits and courage with Dark Butterfly, not realizing she was about to overturn the table.
In fact, back when Lu Ye left Branlan, Dark Butterfly had used this method to try to force him back, but one was inside Branlan and one outside; the distance was simply too far, so when Dark Butterfly self-harmed, Lu Ye was unaffected and thus remained unaware.
Now it's different, both are within the Branlan stellar space. The distance was still not close, but it differed from the situation back then.
This madwoman! Lu Ye cursed inwardly.
Initially, he planned to wait for the human race Dao Fusion to come over so they could kill the one seeking him together. A few days ago, that was his strategy: killing one didn't hurt Dark Butterfly, but killing a few would. Eventually, he believed he could end her aspirations.
But now with Dark Butterfly's actions, Lu Ye found it hard to hold on.
Another wave of intense pain came from within, and simultaneously, inside the Yinshuo Battle Planet, a spurt of blood flew from that bloated mountain of flesh, yet it remained unperturbed.
Mere flesh wounds of this level were nothing to her at the peak of Dao Fusion.
Having been exposed, Lu Ye simply stopped hiding, wielding the Boulder Mountain Saber as he charged towards the Insect Race Dao Fusion who kept transmitting in all directions.
Yet unexpectedly, as soon as he appeared, the Insect Race Dao Fusion retreated, looking cautious.
Lu Ye pursued relentlessly; the opponent had no intention of engaging him, only fleeing, while shouting as if fearing turmoil in the world.
Lu Ye's face turned black because he couldn't catch up!
No matter how strong he was, compared to a Dao Fusion, speed was ultimately a shortcoming.
He needed to quickly deduce the Move-Like-The-Wind Dao Runes; otherwise, it would be troublesome to confront Dao Fusion in the future.
In pursuit and escape, who knows how far they had run.
Lu Ye didn't dare chase any further; he didn't know the opponent's strength or whether there was an ambush ahead, so he had to temporarily give it up.
However, the Insect Race Dao Fusion was persistent, seeing him about to leave, and instead chased him, with Mental Consciousness still surging.
Lu Ye secretly gritted his teeth, condensing several Treasure Blood Avatars, dispersing them in all directions.
The Insect Race Dao Fusion only slightly probed, then immediately determined Lu Ye's true body, inwardly sneering repeatedly; what a petty trick to flaunt.
But what he didn't expect was that, just one incense stick's time later, Lu Ye's true body strangely disappeared from his sight until information from the Dark Butterfly side continued to come, he then learned Lu Ye was already far from him.
Having experienced this, Lu Ye knew that in the rivalry with the Dark Butterfly, he was defeated.
His plan to secretly hone himself and enhance his power under the Dark Butterfly's control was completely ruined.
Moreover, he never expected to be exposed so quickly on the human race battle alliance side.
Given the situation now, he could only return to the Dark Butterfly side and plan further.
With determination made, he no longer hesitated, taking out the star map to examine, Lu Ye identified a location!
Though he intended to return to the Dark Butterfly side, he did not plan to follow some Insect or Blood Race Dao Fusion, as the journey would be too distant with too many variables.
Moreover, the Insect and Blood Races did not have only the Dark Butterfly as a strong figure; other Insect Matriarchs and Blood Race strongmen wouldn't treat him like the Dark Butterfly did. Ultimately, he killed an Insect and Blood Race Dao Fusion each; if he fell into the other Insect Matriarchs' or Blood Race strongmen's hands, who knows what might happen.
Two days later, Lu Ye arrived on a desolate planet.
This place was marked as a forbidden land on the star map. Such markings were not the only ones on the star map; before, Lu Ye did not know why these places would be turned into forbidden lands, but now he vaguely had some guesses.
Though the Dark Butterfly side could sense his approximate range, as long as he did not stay in one place too long, there wouldn't be much of an issue.
So these past two days were quite calm.
The desolate planet wasn't large, and when Lu Ye descended, Mental Consciousness surged to probe, soon noticing an abnormality.
Moments later, he arrived at the location of the anomaly; upon looking around, there wasn't anything peculiar about the place, but Lu Ye could immediately tell it was cloaked in a Formation for concealment.
Sure enough, it was as he thought.
Just as Lu Ye was about to perform the array destruction, the space ahead distorted slightly, then the reality revealed itself.
A familiar altar came into view, precisely the entrance to the ancient site!
Only beside the altar, there was a lone figure sitting, a human race.
Without a doubt, one who could sit guard here alone must be a Dao Fusion.
The person was aged, looking like their blood Qi was somewhat depleted, obviously not much lifespan left. Only such a person would be sent to guard the entrance to the ancient site, lonely and without support, who knows how many years they've spent here.
The cloaking big array over the place was undoubtedly dispelled actively by this elder, who was now examining Lu Ye with great interest, a hint of sharp brilliance hidden in his cloudy eyes.
Lu Ye stepped forward.
He didn't believe the Dao Fusion guarding here could be very strong; with his current strength, he should be able to handle it.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Ye?" The dry voice reached Lu Ye's ears.
Lu Ye was slightly startled, touching his face; he had already used Thousand Faces Spirit Runes to disguise, yet still didn't expect the opponent to call out his name.
After contemplating, Lu Ye felt there was no need to hide, nodding, "Old sir, you have a keen eye, how should I address you?"
The opponent's attitude made him feel somewhat strange, with no hostility.
"Name... just a code name, not necessary to mention, Fellow Daoist Lu is here to enter the ancient site?"
Lu Ye clasped his fists, "Please old sir, grant this favor!"
The elder was quite interested, "Previously, I heard some things about you, more recently there's been even more. Since Fellow Daoist has found this place, you should know that only those who Enter the Path may enter the ancient site; Dao Fusions can't enter."
Lu Ye didn't follow up, just slightly frowned, "From where did old sir hear about me before?"
Recently hearing about him was understandable; under the battle alliance's announcement, any Dao Fusion could receive the message, but Lu Ye was curious about before.
The elder showed a reminiscing expression, "From a very outstanding young lady."
He didn't mention names, but immediately a tall, valiant figure surfaced in Lu Ye's mind.
