Chapter 2026: Chapter 2024: Finally Able to Help
As he spoke, Lu Ye examined the state of the Talent Tree within his body. After the Treasure Blood Avatar, which bore part of the essence of the black fruit, self-destructed, he felt much lighter.
Under internal observation, the black fruit still remained, but its size had obviously shrunk by about thirty percent.
The 9th Dao Treasure Blood Avatar could reduce it by three percent, then the 30th Dao Treasure Blood Avatar should be able to completely remove this black fruit.
This matter is not urgent for now, it can wait until there’s free time later, after all, condensing the treasure blood also requires time and effort.
Gathering his thoughts, Lu Ye turned to the side: "Come on."
Beside him lay a giant White Tiger, which was Amber.
And around Amber, there were several cultivators from the Soul Race headed by Yiyi. Most of these Soul Race cultivators were extraordinarily talented, and were new companion minion spirits collected by Amber in the Soul Race ancestral land, including Lih Shang.
For the Soul Race, being valued by the Sacred Beast and transformed into a companion minion spirit is a tremendous honor, because this way, their cultivation efficiency can greatly increase.
Since Amber entered the Soul Race ancestral land, countless souls have wanted to be close to it to gain the chance of transformation. Unfortunately, Amber showed no interest in them; for it, one Yiyi was enough.
Later, Yiyi had a long talk with Amber, and only then did Amber reluctantly choose a few. Lih Shang, being in proximity, undoubtedly seized this opportunity.
Now, counting Yiyi and Lih Shang, Amber’s companion minion spirits total six, all females, each with a cultivation at the Moon Jade level, and the strongest reaching the Late Stage of Moon Jade.
Of course, the Soul Race’s Moon Jade is different from the ordinary Moon Jade; they focus mainly on cultivating Soul Power rather than Mana. But because of this, they possess methods unimaginable to other races.
Like right now...
As Lu Ye’s voice fell, Yiyi and the others merged into Amber’s body and disappeared, while Amber roared and charged toward Lu Ye.
Its form swiftly turned from solid to void, transforming into a phantom that fused directly with Lu Ye.
In the next moment, Lu Ye felt a significant increase in his foundation, and even without activating Mana or blood Qi, a constant flow of power surged within his body.
"Finally able to help," Yiyi’s voice rang in Lu Ye’s mind, a mix of excitement and joy and anticipation.
She had met Lu Ye at a low point and endured shared hardships, long considering each other as family. But apart from the initial times when Yiyi and Amber could assist Lu Ye, afterward, as his strength grew, the spirit and tiger struggled to have opportunities to help.
Years ago, Yiyi insisted on following Lih Shang to the Soul Race ancestral land because she knew that without making changes, the distance between her and Lu Ye would widen, even if their affection remained unchanged; that wasn’t what she wanted.
She refused to merely watch as Lu Ye struggled against foes from afar.
Going to the Soul Race ancestral land and cultivating the Soul Race’s secret techniques was her opportunity.
Until today, after years of longing and heartache, her efforts finally paid off. She no longer needs to helplessly watch Lu Ye fight enemies valiantly.
Now she can exert her strength.
Lih Shang’s voice also followed, "Fighting side by side again, truly nostalgic."
This wasn’t her first time possessing Lu Ye; there were several similar experiences before. But back then, both she and Lu Ye were Constellations; now, one is Moon Jade and the other is Sun Blaze, their cultivation levels vastly different from the past.
Several other voices also chimed in consecutively: "Senior Brother Lu, please take care of us!"
"No problem, no problem," Lu Ye responded with a smile, feeling that his current state was about twenty percent stronger than usual.
That strength wasn’t too great, far less than the effects brought by Sun Blaze Soul Race’s possession. But considering this enhancement came from a few Moon Jade possessions, it was quite considerable.
Keep in mind, he is now at the Sun Blaze level.
This special Soul Possession state can only be performed using Amber as a medium.
The White Tiger’s ability to become the Sacred Beast of the Soul Race isn’t just because it can enhance the cultivation efficiency of selected souls, but also due to this unique Soul Possession Technique.
Normally, a living creature can only be possessed by one Soul Race member due to the intense conflicts that would arise otherwise.
The situation changes if Amber is used as the medium.
The Sacred Beast can coordinate all subordinate souls, integrate, empowering a single person!
Six Moon Jade Soul Race members, plus Amber, bring Lu Ye a twenty percent power boost, a result of this unique possession technique. And this isn’t Amber’s limit; according to Yiyi, Amber can transform more companion minion spirits as its strength increases in the future.
Once Yiyi and the others’ cultivation reaches the Sun Blaze level, a future possession will bring unimaginable enhancement.
Lu Ye even doubted whether anyone could withstand such a terrifying uplift.
After getting familiar with his current state, Lu Ye finally spoke, "Let’s go!"
As the words fell, the whole person had already transformed into bloodlight, rushing towards the direction of Zixuan’s four battleships.
Those four battleships were currently preparing to meet the enemy, the surface of the battleships flickered with brilliance, obviously all had activated their Protective Power, and at various positions, arrays were operating with a hum, with each magic treasure placed in the Array Eye swiftly accumulating power.
The attacking power of such battleships accumulates slowly, but once triggered, the might is extremely strong, not to mention that the largest battleship’s power is equivalent to Sun Blaze taking action personally, even the three smaller ones are equivalent to a full-force strike of Peak Moon Jade.
If they were to unleash their attack, the Jade Conch allied forces would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses.
Unfortunately, they ultimately didn’t have this opportunity.
No one expected that with eleven Sun Blaze sent from Jade Conch to meet the enemy, there would still be spare Sun Blaze keeping an eye on their battleships.
Backing out a step, even if Bi Chen and other Demon Venerables were aware, they were powerless to resolve it because they were already too distracted.
"What is that?" In the chamber of a battleship’s Central Hub, a cultivator monitoring the outside suddenly noticed something unusual.
Upon focusing intently, he was immediately shocked, "Not good, Sun Blaze is coming!"
"Quick, evade!"
"Can’t evade, the opponent’s speed is too fast."
They were initially preparing to attack the Jade Conch allied forces, and a sudden discovery left no room for evasion.
"Adjust the array, abandon the offensive, intensify the protective strength!" A Moon Jade swiftly ordered.
These battleships always have stronger protective power than attack power, so even when facing a Sun Blaze assault, the battleship might still have a chance to resist.
As long as there’s a slight resistance here, the largest battleship of Zixuan would certainly become aware of the situation over here and could then restrain this Sun Blaze.
Then they can act according to the circumstances.
Looking across the stellar space, fleets coordinating to slay Sun Blaze isn’t unheard of.
With the Moon Jade’s command, the originally accumulated offensive power of this battleship quickly dissipated, the surface of the entire battleship rapidly intensified in brilliance as all forces concentrated on defense; in an instant, the battleship transformed into a small sun, illuminating a vast expanse of stellar space.
Beneath the glowing illumination, a streak of bloodlight boldly barged in, seemingly insignificant but sharply contrasted against the dazzling brilliance in this moment.
Almost all Zixuan demon cultivators within the battleships heard the resonate clang of a long saber being unsheathed.
Following swiftly, that tiny blood light luminously skyrocketed, transforming into a wheel of blood hue.
Within the clash of blood and white light, the sound of saber resonance rang again, and suddenly in the Void, a giant long saber appeared as if grasped by an invisible large hand, gradually swung downward.
Giant Blade Slash!
This saber skill inherited from the Barghest Saber is undoubtedly a good choice for demolishing battleships.
Viewed from afar, the visual impact brought by this scene is indescribable; the massive saber blade seems able to divide heaven and earth, with a gentle swing, the bright defense of the battleship barely lasted for a moment before it shattered with a boom, scattered into bits of starlight, floating in all directions, followed urgently by the enormous battleship being split in half by the saber, broken into two sections.
The saber’s momentum swept through, leaving countless demon cultivators with no remains, regardless if they were Constellation or Moon Jade, facing such a world-destroying saber strike made no difference.
More demon cultivators escaped from the shattered battleship, each with a look of panic and unease.
Lu Ye sprinting past this battleship, headed for the second one.
But before he could reach it, he was astonished to find countless demon cultivators abandoning ship and fleeing from the battleship, clearly frightened by the previous scene, with hiding inside the battleship proven unsafe, who dared continue sheltering there? Naturally, escaping life is pressing.
Not only this battleship, but another too.
In a blink, one battleship was broken, the other two were completely abandoned.
Leaving only the largest one undisturbed.
This is a Sun Blaze-grade battleship with inherent arrogance, even in elite domains like Zixuan, few such leveled battleships could be produced, always used in large-scale warfare.
Although there was no Sun Blaze stationed inside the battleship at the moment, it could still exhibit mighty power relying solely on its own performance.
As Lu Ye soared, that side already initiated its offensive toward him, sure enough, its strength indeed rivaled Sun Blaze taking personal action.
Lu Ye unleashed Brazen Plundering Technique, avoiding enemy attacks while constantly approaching the battleship, within less than ten breaths, arriving before the battleship.
With a ringing saber, raised high, vigorous blood Qi and Mana activated, the massive saber blade swiftly concentrated just like earlier, Giant Blade Slash downward, encompassing a force capable of splitting stars and moons.
Giant blade fell, the battleship trembled, yet this fierce strike failed to break the battleship, even couldn’t destroy its defense.
