Sage of Humanity

Chapter 2273 - 2271: Changes in the Bone Pool

"Pay no attention!" Mad Lion shook his head.

Although he didn't personally take action, judging from the recent battle, the two human race individuals who appeared first definitely have Peak Dao Fusion strength.

As for the two women who appeared later, their strength is also not to be underestimated.

There are indeed many Dao Fusion cultivators in Edgeless City, but to forcibly face them directly is unlikely to end well.

Additionally, the young man and soul body that Specter Slayer mentioned earlier have not appeared!

Mad Lion couldn't determine how much power the other side was still hiding, so in such a situation, ignoring them was the best course of action.

The defenses of Edgeless City are extremely strong, the result of generations of accumulation. With only these four, they are unable to break it, so on the Edgeless City side, there's no need to do anything. Just wait, and the enemy will retreat on their own.

Bang bang bang...

Continuous loud noises erupted as four figures scattered across the reflection in separate locations, wielding various techniques to bombard Edgeless City.

This scene made the watching Dao Fusion cultivators furious. If it weren't for the City Lord's restriction, they would have rushed out to attack.

In the bone pool, Lu Ye suddenly turned his head to look around.

Just as Yan Zhixing and others exerted their power to attack Edgeless City's defenses, some abnormal reactions suddenly emerged here.

Not only did he notice it, but Dark Butterfly also noticed something.

"Is this... the bone chalices providing power to Edgeless City's defenses?" Dark Butterfly asked, doubtful and surprised.

Lu Ye nodded: "The merit of the formation here!"

He had just sensed that not only were there traces of the Spirit Gathering Array, but also other formations here. He originally planned to explore the mystery of the formation, but it turned out that it was no longer necessary to investigate.

The effects of the formation were directly displayed in front of them.

The protective array of Edgeless City is linked to the bone pool's formation, so the Dao force within the bone chalices in the pool can be used to supplement the consumption of the protective array.

"Let's go!" Lu Ye flashed out of this bone pool and went to the adjacent pool.

After investigating, he found the situation was the same here.

There was no need to investigate the remaining pools, as it could be confirmed that all the formations within the pools are linked to the protective array.

All the bone chalices here are the source of the array's power.

The bone chalices have only Beginner cultivation. With mere hard cultivation, the accumulation of Dao force reserves isn't much, but the sheer number is immense.

With these bone chalices as the power source for the array, Yan Zhixing and others would likely exhaust their strength without being able to shake the protective array of Edgeless City in the slightest.

Unless someone destroys the formation within these bone pools, resulting in the protective array lacking support from Dao force, the sustainability of the array would encounter issues.

Lu Ye and Dark Butterfly exchanged a glance, realizing that infiltrating Edgeless City has indeed been a wise decision.

The protective array of Edgeless City must be dismantled from within. Attempting to break it with brute force is hopeless, even with ten or twenty Peak Dao Fusion cultivators.

After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye said, "Little Butterfly, stay here and act according to my command."

"Where are you going?" Dark Butterfly asked.

Lu Ye replied, "To quickly break Edgeless City's array, merely destroying the bone pools here isn't enough. This place only provides Dao force, but Edgeless City has stood for many years; there must be stored power within the array. So, even if these are destroyed, the array can still be maintained for a while. I need to find the location of their array base; just destroying a few bases will significantly weaken the array's defense."

This reminded him of his past experience at All Phenomena Ocean when attacking the Demon Race's Zixuan Island; he did the same and achieved remarkable results.

Now, facing a stronger enemy, the principle remains the same.

"Be careful!" Dark Butterfly cautioned seriously, though not entirely confident about Lu Ye acting alone. But currently, there's no better method. A single daring venture might solve the current dilemma; it's worth a try.

Lu Ye nodded slightly, his body flickered, and a series of Treasure Blood Avatars appeared, totaling eight.

Dark Butterfly was momentarily stunned: "What is this..."

Lu Ye had left a Treasure Blood Avatar at the insect hive before to prevent unforeseen events, something she hadn't paid much attention to at the time, as the technique of avatars isn't too mystical, and many cultivators have practiced it.

But seeing it now, it somewhat resembles the techniques of the Blood Race?

The Insect Race and Blood Race have fought side by side for so many years, and as Insect Matriarch, Dark Butterfly is naturally very familiar with the Blood Race. She knows that when Blood Race powerhouses reach a certain level of bloodline refinement, they can condense Treasure Blood Avatars.

But she had never seen a Blood Race produce so many avatars all at once.

Moreover, earlier in the insect hive, Lu Ye seemed to use the Blood Sea Technique...

And just while she was in a daze, another avatar appeared, though this one was slightly different from the previous ones; it was more difficult for Lu Ye to condense, and after appearing, it was even in a naked state.

Before she could take a closer look, Lu Ye's original self had already tossed over a prepared set of clothes.

With the original self and avatars, there were a total of ten Lu Ye's. Even though Dark Butterfly had seen a lot, she couldn't help but marvel, poking this one and prodding that one.

Lu Ye ignored her, as his original self and Talent Tree Avatar had already constructed the Thousand Faces Dao Runes, disguising and changing their appearance.

In the blink of an eye, two figures already displayed some subtle Beast Transformation characteristics, these traits were not to be closely scrutinized, just simple disguises.

The Talent Tree Avatar departed first, while the true body looked at Dark Butterfly: "These doppelgangers will stay here to cooperate with you, you must first deal with the beginners stationed here."

The Treasure Blood Avatar didn't have strong combat abilities, staying here only made it more convenient to destroy the formations in each bone pool.

"Understood." Dark Butterfly nodded.

Only then did the true body leap away.

Edgeless City was vast, and the array bases were not likely just in one place, scattered at different positions; in normal times, it wasn't easy for Lu Ye to find the array bases unless someone leads the way.

However, the situation was different at this moment.

Yan Zhixing and the others were attacking relentlessly outside, so the grand array of Edgeless City was fiercely operating, meaning Lu Ye just needed to follow the traces of power flow within the grand array uniquely to locate the array bases.

The true body and the Talent Tree Avatar acted separately, changing appearances didn't draw much attention.

The Peak Dao Fusion cultivators in Edgeless City likely never imagined that someone had already silently infiltrated, brazenly daring to target the grand array.

Time passed, buzzing sounds were constant, the whole Edgeless City occasionally trembled.

No matter how hard Yan Zhixing and others tried, the protective array shrouding Edgeless City showed no signs of change.

Four hours later, Lu Ye had already found four array bases, no need to locate more. Destroying these four bases would spell success.

In the bone pool, Dark Butterfly waited quietly.

Suddenly, the Treasure Blood Avatar standing by her side like a living corpse turned its head to her: "Do it!"

Dark Butterfly smiled slightly, her figure darted out.

Moments later, a miserable scream emanated from a distant house; a Beast Race beginner stationed there, managing Bone Growing and collecting bones, died terribly on the spot.

The well-positioned Treasure Blood Avatar acted simultaneously, instantly disrupting eight big arrays inside the bone pool, severing connections to the protective array.

Within these eight bone pools, creatures in the bone chalices originally with painful expressions suddenly showed much relief.

Without any pause, the Treasure Blood Avatar jumped from bone pool to bone pool, darting in different directions, employing the same method.

In the hall where many Peak Dao Fusion cultivators gathered in Edgeless City, closely monitoring Yan Zhixing and others' movements, Mad Lion suddenly sensed a change, his face turned drastically.

"Not good!" He shouted low, turning his head toward the bone pool's direction, "The bone pool changed!"

"What?" a Peak Dao Fusion cultivator exclaimed, eyes full of disbelief, what could happen at the bone pool?

Mad Lion quickly waved his hand, another image appeared before the Peak Dao Fusion cultivators, who immediately fumed.

Because in the footage, figures were entering and exiting different bone pools; each time someone went in or out, the formation within a bone pool was destroyed, cutting off its power supply to the grand array.

Moreover, the beginners stationed beside the bone pools were mostly killed, and the perpetrator was surprisingly a Snake Girl!

Seeing this, the Peak Dao Fusion cultivators found it unbelievable, unable to comprehend why the Snake Girl betrayed Edgeless City.

"It's that soul body!" Specter Slayer suddenly realized, "She possesses the Snake Girl's flesh, I'll deal with her!"

He had been searching for Dark Butterfly's whereabouts, never finding her, wondering where that soul body went; unexpectedly, she had infiltrated Edgeless City and was sabotaging the bone pool.

As his words fell, Specter Slayer disappeared instantly, as if he had never been there.

"I'll assist." Golden Ape volunteered immediately, the previous battle over four hours ago left him frustrated. Now, with a chance to perform, he was unwilling to miss it.

Mad Lion was about to agree, but his face changed again with a horrified exclamation: "Array base attacked!"

Mere moments ago, he was calm and assured. Over the years, Edgeless City had faced enemy attacks before, yet always stood strong, thanks to the profound foundation laid by generations of ancestors, ensuring no issues this time either.

Even if the attackers were all Peak Dao Fusion, Edgeless City's defenses were impregnable.

But in the blink of an eye, turmoil arrived abruptly, the bone pool changed, array base attacked, external foes, internal threats, the enemy's planning and strategy linked one after another, leaving him temporarily confused.

However, ultimately, as Edgeless City's ruler for years, his mind quickly settled, speaking calmly: "Golden Ape, Mental Tiger depart to intercept, I will guide you to the location, others remain at the array base!"

He couldn't move, as Edgeless City's City Lord; he must control the grand array and maintain its operation.

The decision to dispatch Golden Ape and Mental Tiger was because their strength was sufficient.

He had realized the young man who destroyed the array base was the one previously heavily injured by Specter Slayer, only this time he had cultivated the Avatar technique, with one true body, one avatar.

Specter Slayer mentioned the young human had nearly one hundred sixty Dao force; at such strength, not even stronger ones like Golden Ape, just Mental Tiger alone was already enough to handle him; sending them assured victory.

.

Yet once more caught a cold, Da Wa returned from school bringing a virus; seven family members, none escaped, feeling terrible.

Everyone should regularly pay attention to protection.
