Sage of Humanity

Just in case, all the other array bases must have a Dao Fusion cultivator sitting in town; two have already been broken, absolutely no more can be destroyed, or the big array will become unstable.

Outside Edgeless City, almost at the same time Lu Ye and Dark Butterfly began their operation, Yan Zhixing and the other three sensed something, because the protective array that had endured the frenzied assault of four Peak Dao Fusion cultivators for four hours without the slightest shake was now rippling in layers.

Even that thick, hazy radiance dimmed a shade.

The rhythm of their attacks didn't change, but the array had changed—this had to be the result of Lu Ye and Dark Butterfly.

"All out!" Yan Zhixing roared in fury and summoned his Dao soldier gourd.

The gourd, like liquid, twined around one of Yan Zhixing's arms, and in an instant his arm gained a gourd-shaped armguard as an even stronger, more condensed Power of the Path began to flow.

Chen Gushan also summoned his Dao soldier long spear; Zi Ying's Dao soldier was likewise a long spear—she had once studied under Chen Gushan, and the master and disciple's dueling methods could be said to be of one lineage.

Ho Linglong's Dao soldier was a blooming lotus; as its radiance swept out, it seemed to materially erode the big array before them.

The ripples on the big array spread ever more violently, layer upon layer, rising and falling.

Lu Ye and Dark Butterfly had already begun their operation. Edgeless City would naturally be aware and would send powerful experts against them to block their actions, so they could not hold back here either—they had to break through the obstacle before them as quickly as possible, or Lu Ye and Dark Butterfly's situation would become very dangerous.

Inside Edgeless City, Lu Ye's true body and Talent Tree Avatar were spread out in different locations, darting swiftly.

Two of the enemy's array bases had already been broken. According to his previous observation, as long as two more were destroyed, Edgeless City's protective array would have its might drastically cut; at that point, without the bone chalices in the bone pool supplying power, Yan Zhixing and the others could forcefully shatter the big array!

Edgeless City was huge, and the array bases were extremely scattered—that was why Lu Ye had spent four hours yet only found four array bases.

Just as Lu Ye was about to reach the third array base, a fierce aura suddenly swept over from far to near. Before the figure arrived, the voice came first, like a tiger's roar, brimming with boundless rage: "Despicable human race, how dare you act so wantonly!"

Lu Ye lifted his eyes and saw a figure enter his vision. The newcomer had a burly build, broad back and thick waist, with a "king" character mark on his forehead like a tattoo, looking like a ferocious tiger descending the mountain.

This must be one of the Tiger Tribe of the Beast Race, Lu Ye thought to himself.

He's fast!

Of course he knew that once he made a move, the experts within Edgeless City would react, but their response time was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

And it wasn't just him running into trouble—his Talent Tree Avatar had also encountered problems. The Beast Race expert that went over there looked like an upright ape.

With things like this, there was simply no way to hide or avoid it.

Lu Ye's expression settled. Since that was the case, he could only try a battle.

He didn't know how strong the other party was, but with Lu Ye's current Power of the Path exceeding two hundred, even against a Peak Dao Fusion cultivator he still had the ability to escape, so naturally he did not fear.

With a single thought, he reached out and gripped the hilt of Boulder Mountain Saber, charging toward that Tiger Tribe cultivator.

Mental Tiger was enraged. He had already learned of Lu Ye's strength from Mad Lion—at that level of strength, Lu Ye could never be his match.

Besides, for countless tens of thousands of years here in Edgeless City, the human race had only ever been the lowest rung. Never had a human dared look him in the eye like this, much less bare such fierce hostility toward him.

He opened his mouth in a roar, sending out an invisible, formless impact.

Lu Ye only felt his Divine Sea tremble slightly, as though struck by something, but it did not cause him any great effect.

He understood at once. This Tiger Tribe cultivator seemed to have, like Amber, the ability of Tiger Roar Intimidation.

He dared not be careless—this was, after all, an expert of Edgeless City, and one specifically sent to deal with him; who knew just how strong the other really was.

The two figures rapidly closed on each other, Mental Tiger's expression proud, Lu Ye's expression grave.

With a ringing clang, Boulder Mountain Saber left its sheath, Power of the Path roaring forth.

This strike, Lu Ye could be said to hold nothing back. Because he had to seize time, he unleashed the full eruption of two hundred and ten Dao force.

A lotus bloomed, petals swirling; the fine petals were the manifestation of saber light, coiling and dancing in the air.

Lu Ye and Mental Tiger's figures were obscured within.

Cries of alarm, muffled grunts, screams…

Blood sprayed.

At the instant the lotus shattered, Lu Ye didn't even look back, diving straight toward where the array base lay. Blood was flowing down the edge of Boulder Mountain Saber in his hand.

Behind him, Mental Tiger's face was full of shock, his body covered in dense wounds, looking utterly wretched.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his heart… The City Lord lied to me!

Mad Lion had told him this human only had a strength of a bit over one hundred and sixty Dao. He had, of course, never doubted it, confident that with his full strength of one hundred and eighty Dao he could easily take the opponent.

But only upon clashing did he learn that the other wasn't one hundred and sixty Dao at all—this human's strength had definitely surpassed two hundred!

Otherwise, how could he have suffered such a huge loss in just one exchange?

But he quickly felt something was off again. How could the City Lord possibly lie to him? And all the intel the City Lord had was scouted by Specter Slayer. Looked at this way, either Specter Slayer had lied, or Specter Slayer hadn't investigated clearly, which was why his interception had failed.

What he didn't know was that Specter Slayer's intel had no problem at all—the problem was Lu Ye. Since the last time Specter Slayer badly wounded him until now, Lu Ye's strength had increased far too much.

Once cultivation and strength reached their level, every bit of growth was extremely slow, requiring years of tempering and accumulation. Yet Lu Ye's strength had been skyrocketing—forty Dao of power gained in such a short time; no one would believe it if you told them.

His thoughts shifted in an instant; Mental Tiger roared and lunged after Lu Ye again.

Even though he knew he was not a match, he didn't dare let Lu Ye leave, because he knew Lu Ye's goal was to destroy the array base.

The City Lord had definitely noticed the anomaly here, and most likely was already dispatching manpower for support. As long as he could delay for a while, it would be enough.

Lu Ye's true body advanced smoothly, but his Talent Tree Avatar ran into a bit of trouble.

Golden Ape's strength was only a hair's breadth away from Peak Dao Fusion, which meant that even without using a Dao soldier, he had close to two hundred Dao of strength. Once he did use the Dao soldier, his strength would be even greater.

As a result, even with full effort the Talent Tree Avatar was still no match and was immediately suppressed by Golden Ape. Fortunately, although there was a gap in strength, it wasn't that huge, so as long as the Talent Tree Avatar was careful, there was no great danger.

After Lu Ye's true body shook off Mental Tiger's entanglement, the Blood Escape Technique boosted his speed; in barely over ten breaths he charged into a great hall.

This was where one of Edgeless City's array bases lay.

Usually, only some Enter the Path-level cultivators were tasked with guarding the Formation of the array base here, having nothing to do. And because Edgeless City had been peaceful for so long, the great hall housing the array base had no defensive function.

Only two Dao Fusion cultivators were present, who had previously received Mad Lion's order and rushed here in an emergency.

When Lu Ye's figure flashed into the hall, those two Dao Fusion cultivators had just arrived. Three figures came to a halt one after another, and the two Dao Fusion cultivators couldn't help being stunned.

Right then, Mad Lion's order sounded by their ears: "At all costs, hold this human race. You absolutely cannot let him destroy the array base. Mental Tiger is already on the way to support."

Only then did the two Dao Fusion cultivators come back to their senses. This human race should be Mental Tiger's opponent, yet somehow Mental Tiger had failed to intercept him.

With the City Lord's command given, how could they hesitate? They immediately spread to the left and right, closing in on Lu Ye to pincer him.

"Die!" Lu Ye's saber rose and fell, slashing toward the left.

With a miserable scream, blood and viscera splattered everywhere; one Dao Fusion cultivator died on the spot!

This guy was only 5th Order Dao Fusion, just having started nurturing his own Dao soldier. Even at full strength, he had just over ninety Dao of power—how could he possibly withstand such a ferocious saber strike?

The Dao Fusion cultivator on the right had already rushed in close. Seeing his companion's blood splatter on the spot, he was instantly terrified. He wanted to halt his charge, but it was too late; shocked and panicked, he didn't dare strike rashly, his emotions in extreme conflict.

A streak of saber light flashed before his eyes, and then he knew nothing at all.

In the great hall, Lu Ye effortlessly dealt with the two Dao Fusion cultivators. Under the helpless gazes of the group of Cultivators at the Enter the Path-level, the long saber in his hand was raised high, the gigantic saber light flickering like a serpent's tongue, Cui Can and dazzling.

Covered in blood, looking extremely battered, Mental Tiger had chased Lu Ye all the way here. Seeing this scene suddenly, he was horrified and shouted sharply, "Stop!"

Lu Ye turned a deaf ear; the saber light came down.

Giant Blade Slash!

With a thunderous boom, the earth trembled. The entire great hall was split in two, a deep chasm appearing, the floor crumbling, Formation shattered, and the array base hidden underground was completely destroyed.

Watching this scene unfold before his eyes, all the blood in Mental Tiger's body ran cold. His pupils went scarlet. Even knowing he was no match for Lu Ye, he did not retreat a single step. What he needed to do now was very simple: entangle this brazen human race who dared rampage in Edgeless City!

Yet something left him utterly shocked. Two streaks of white light suddenly appeared and almost simultaneously sank into that human race's body, disappearing and bathing him in radiance, making him look sacred to the extreme.

"Star Abyss Blessing?" Mental Tiger's eyes bulged. He simply could not understand how this guy, already so strong, could receive two Star Abyss Blessings just for killing two of their Dao Fusion cultivators.

This blessing was like a silent sarcasm, stabbing at Mental Tiger's mind.

The white light faded, and Mental Tiger froze.

Because right where Lu Ye had been, eight Lu Ye suddenly appeared. Before he could react, the eight Lu Ye scattered, fleeing in different directions!

Doppelgangers? Which one was real?

There was no time to think. Mental Tiger hurled a punch through the air; in that direction, a Lu Ye was directly blasted into a mist of blood.

Facing a powerhouse like Mental Tiger, a Treasure Blood Avatar was as feeble as an insect, unable to withstand a single blow.

"They're all fake. Go support Golden Ape. The human race's true body has gone to Golden Ape's side." Mad Lion's voice suddenly sounded by his ear.

"What?" Mental Tiger was dumbfounded.

There was quite some distance between his location and Golden Ape's. Even if he went all out to rush over, it would still take several dozen breaths. How could that human race have gotten there?
