Sage of Humanity

As time passed, within Lu Ye's Dao Bone, a vast vitality nurtured from the depths of the marrow nourished his entire body. The lost flesh grew back, his internal organs rapidly regenerated, and the shriveled heart in his chest also regained vitality, beating powerfully and pumping blood that harbored immense strength throughout his body.

In just about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he restored his form to be full of blood and flesh.

However, compared to before, there were significant differences: his flesh became more vigorous, and even his skin became tender and glossy.

It appeared delicate and tender, but Lu Ye knew this was merely an illusion.

The strength of his physique, compared to a few days ago, had increased by at least thirty percent.

Such an enhancement was nothing short of a miracle. After all, his physique was already very strong, and to increase it by thirty percent on top of that was not something ordinary cultivation could achieve.

It was not just his physique that improved but his overall strength!

In fact, when the Dao Bone reached the state of Great Perfection, he already had this feeling. He had wanted to investigate it carefully, but the eruption of the Blood Race lineage interrupted him.

He lightly clenched his fist, and Dao force surged through him.

Two hundred and ten Daos of power, easily controlled, without any pressure.

Two hundred and twenty Daos, just the same.

Two hundred and thirty Daos...

Two hundred and forty Daos!

Lu Ye was secretly astonished.

Though he knew that with the Dao Bone Great Perfection, his strength had increased significantly, he had not expected the surge to be this immense!

Based on his previous strength progression, barring any unforeseen circumstances, upon completing all two hundred and six Dao Bones across his body, he should only be able to harness two hundred and fifteen Daos of power—this was his limit!

But compared to the current limit, there was a gap of a full twenty-five Daos.

The limit of a cultivator's ability to channel Dao force mainly depends on their tolerance. That is why cultivators need to hone their Dao Bones, as each additional Dao Bone can withstand an additional Dao of pressure!

Dao Bones are not just containers for a cultivator's Dao force reserve; they are also the foundation for bearing the pressure when a cultivator wields Dao force.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Ye's limit indeed would have been two hundred and fifteen Daos of power.

However, after achieving Great Perfection of his entire Dao Bone, he clearly felt that all Dao Bones were no longer scattered grains of sand but were unified, closely connected, seemingly transforming from a quantitative to a qualitative change. In this way, the pressure his whole Dao Bone could bear became greater.

The extra twenty-five Daos of power was the result of this qualitative change.

It shouldn't just be a result of the Great Perfection of the Dao Bone...

Lu Ye recalled that when the Dark Butterfly departed, it severed part of its Soul Power, gifting it to him, and now the Blood Race lineage's breakthrough had greatly enhanced his physique again.

The comprehensive improvement in Essence Qi represented an increase in his foundation, which was why there had been such a substantial increase in his power.

Things were becoming interesting...

According to his knowledge, a Dao Fusion, without considering the Dao soldiers, should be able to exert a destructive force with two hundred Daos of power if they cultivate to the extreme!

And the typical Dao soldier limit for a Dao Fusion is forty-nine Daos.

So theoretically, the strength limit of Peak Dao Fusion is only nine Daos stronger than what I possess now. Such a margin is undoubtedly small on a foundation of over two hundred Daos of power.

Of course, if the Dao Fusion uses an affiliated treasure as their Dao soldier, then the limit won't just be these. But in this world, how many people can possess an affiliated treasure?

I, as a Peak Beginner, can now barely match the strength of Peak Dao Fusion.

In some sense, Peak Dao Fusion might not even compare to me, the Beginner.

Because the Dao soldiers of cultivators have their focus; offensive Dao soldiers cannot provide protective power, and defensive Dao soldiers cannot offer offensive power, so they often have deficiencies in certain aspects.

But my two hundred and forty Daos of power are all-encompassing. How can those Dao Fusion compete?

The only downside compared to Dao Fusion is that during combat, my Dao force consumption is greater because every Dao I use is literal consumption, unlike those Dao Fusions.

Dao Fusions, due to the augmentation from Dao Runes, even with controlling at most one hundred Daos of power, can exert greater force.

However, for Lu Ye's vast Dao force reserves, such consumption isn't an issue.

If a few days ago, Lu Ye was still slightly worried and concerned about this upcoming competition, then now that worry and concern had completely vanished!

His strength had already reached the pinnacle of Dao Fusion, qualifying him to contend with those peak Dao Fusions.

With his main body and the Talent Tree Avatar, that's two Peak Dao Fusions teaming up, significantly increasing the chances of success in this competition!

Nevertheless, he still needed a companion; it's always good to have an extra hand, and it's the rule.

The good news is that this way, he doesn't need to rush to ascend to Dao Fusion. Currently, his cultivation strength is sufficient. If he wishes, he can immediately choose a Dao Rune as the foundation to ascend to Dao Fusion.

The improvement in strength delighted Lu Ye.

There's another matter that intrigued him, brought about by the Blood Race lineage's advancement, but he needed to test it out.

With a thought, Lu Ye gathered the Boulder Mountain Saber and Star Abyss coin from the ground, donned his attire, and swiftly left the place.

A few days later, Lu Ye followed the sounds of distant combat to a battlefield.

Intense fighting was happening here, with four figures divided into two battlefields.

It was clear that two teams had encountered each other; interestingly, the pairs of male and female cultivators in these teams seemed to have similar abilities, making the battle extraordinarily fierce.

Each male cultivator faced off against another, and the same for the female cultivators.

Lu Ye glanced over and headed directly for the two battling male cultivators. One was from the Demon Race, surrounded by demon Qi, and the other from the Winged Race, with a pair of gray wings at his back, capable of both offense and defense, making him quite troublesome.

Judging by the stance, it was obvious that the Winged Race cultivator had the upper hand due to his richer combat experience.

If there were no surprises, he was likely to win. However, whether he could kill his opponent was uncertain.

When Lu Ye appeared, he immediately drew the attention of the four figures, especially the two male cultivators. Seeing him approaching their battlefield, they both felt a shock in their hearts.

They weren't fools. In this situation, someone charging into their midst alone must have immense confidence in their own strength.

Invincible!

The two male cultivators immediately came to a conclusion.

The two, who had been fiercely fighting, suddenly seemed to have a telepathic understanding and split apart to escape.

Unexpectedly, a figure appeared spectrally nearby, and a Blood Sea suddenly spread out.

The figure was none other than Lu Ye's Talent Tree Avatar. The main body had been lurking nearby, ready to strike.

While his strength was indeed superior to the two combatants, capturing them without some strategy would not be easy. They were both at the Dao Fusion stage, each possessing their own life-saving skills.

Under the Blood Sea's envelopment, and weaker than Lu Ye in strength, the fate of these two male cultivators was sealed.

The Talent Tree Avatar immediately changed direction and swooped towards the two female cultivators, clearly intending to capture them all at once.

All the cultivators involved in this skirmish truly bore no personal grudges, but once engaged, they were either friend or foe, leaving no room for mercy.

Plus, the mysterious space connected through Star Abyss coins held many tempting treasures for Lu Ye, and exchanging them required sufficient coins.

Seeing the avatar's actions, the two female cultivators dared not linger and immediately scattered to flee.

Lu Ye expected this outcome, so he could only choose one unlucky foe to chase down.

An hour later, in another concealed location, a Blood Cloud drifted in.

As the Blood Cloud dissipated, several figures were revealed.

It was the previous combatants: the Demon Race, the Winged Race, and the unlucky one pursued by the avatar…

The three Dao Fusion cultivators undoubtedly had suffered some hardships, appearing disheveled and bloodstained.

Lu Ye's main body and avatar had blocked and pursued them, completely extinguishing their hopes of escape. Their previous experiences made them realize that they couldn't contend with this human's strength—the gap between them was too large!

Though terrified, the Demon Race forced himself to calm down, cupping his fists, "May I ask, Fellow Daoist, why did you capture us?"

Lu Ye hadn't killed them but instead brought them here, which puzzled the Demon Race.

What puzzled the Demon Race even more was that Lu Ye seemed to have no companions.

He could see clearly that those who had blocked them before and behind—one was the main body, the other an avatar.

Could he be seeking allies? But if that were the case, why capture us and not just go for the female cultivators?

"Nothing much, I just need a favor from the three of you," Lu Ye said, giving him a cool glance.

The Demon Race frowned, "Fellow Daoist, please elaborate!" He didn't think it was a small favor. As opponents, it was a matter of life and death. Since Lu Ye hadn't killed them, there must be more trouble awaiting them.

Lu Ye nodded and raised a finger.

Within his Dao Bone, the marrow suddenly heated up, birthing strands of mystical power from its depths, converging into a single point.

Lu Ye's aura rapidly weakened, as if something was devouring it.

Meanwhile, at the tip of his raised finger, a spot of golden light took shape.

The three captured Dao Fusion cultivators felt restless. Although they didn't know what Lu Ye was doing, his weakening aura was a fact. This presented a rare opportunity. If they attacked now, they might kill this human cultivator.

They were seasoned in battle arrays and wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

Without any communication, the three Dao Fusion cultivators attacked almost simultaneously.

Yet moments later, they stood back in their original positions, faces ashen, in a worse condition than before…

Lu Ye's main body hadn't even moved; it was just the avatar that defeated them three-on-one.

The enormous strength disparity rendered any numerical advantage meaningless.

Lu Ye stood there, his previously weak aura gradually restoring, with a drop of golden blood on his fingertip, like a tiny gem.
