Sage of Humanity-Chapter 730 - 728 Opportunity

Upon the battlefield, spirit force surged chaotically, figures crisscrossed in a blur, the conflict was intense, and cultivators of both races unleashed secret techniques in rapid succession, each countering the other.

Suspended midair, the Blood Owl, who had been observing the battle, finally lost his composure. The secret techniques that the Blood Race prided itself on failed to have the expected effect, making him realize that Soaring Dragon World was not so easily gnawed upon.

"How truly... stubborn!"

As his words fell, he had already transformed into a streak of blood light, rushing towards a specific area of the battlefield.

That place was where the monks of Vajra Temple were gathered. As they fought valiantly against their enemies with wrathful expressions, the resounding chant from their lips dispelled the influence of Blood Race's secret techniques on the minds of Soaring Dragon cultivators.

The Blood Owl could easily see that among all, it was precisely the secret techniques of these bald monks that posed the most severe restraint on the Blood Race's secret techniques, so they were his first target when he intervened.

The blood light streaked across the sky, crashing into Vajra Temple's ranks, and in an instant, wrought boundless slaughter.

Even as the monks of Vajra Temple possessed astonishing physical strength, they were like paper in front of the Blood Owl. Wherever the Blood Owl passed, he was unstoppable, no one able to withstand even a single blow from him.

Subject to the suppression of Soaring Dragon World's domain, the Blood Owl could only exert the strength of the Peak Cloud River level, but he himself was a strong cultivator from the Divine Sea Realm.

He was also the only one from the Divine Sea Realm that participated in the Blood Race's invasion of Soaring Dragon World this time.

With the profound background of Divine Sea Realm, even though he could only mobilize the strength of Cloud River Realm, this was not something that ordinary Cloud River cultivators could withstand.

Moreover, many Blood Path secret techniques he employed were particularly oppressive against those who had abundant blood Qi, such as the monks of Vajra Temple.

Facing an opponent like the Blood Owl, the people of Vajra Temple, at best, could only muster about seventy percent of their strength. That was the fundamental reason behind the Blood Owl's unstoppable momentum.

"Evil creature, cease your presumptuousness!" Accompanied by a furious shout, sword lights flooded the sky, sweeping towards the Blood Owl. Those sword lights crisscrossed like the strokes of a character, cutting through the void, and enveloped the Blood Owl from above.

More sword lights approached swiftly.

It was Haoran Academy's Yuen Changcun leading people to support the cause.

He had been closely watching the Blood Owl's movement, as the Blood Owl was known to be the strongest among the Blood Race according to the intelligence reports, and Soaring Dragon could not afford to ignore him.

The task assigned before the battle was, should the Blood Owl join the fight, it would be Haoran Academy's responsibility to restrain him and find an opportunity to kill him!

Cloud River killing Divine Sea, such a feat was deemed impossible a thousand years ago. The gap between two major Cultivation Realms, the advantage of numbers already meant nothing.

But today, a thousand years later, there was viable space for operation.

The pressure of the Heavenly domain, once strong cultivators from the Divine Sea Realm like the Blood Owl entered Soaring Dragon World, they had to abide by the rules of this world.

Surrounded by strong cultivators of Haoran Academy, numbering more than a dozen, each at the Peak Cloud River strength, they arrived by Sword Control, scattered in various directions. Each one's Sword Intent soared to the sky, all emanating from the same source and practicing the same secret technique. Their Sword Intents intertwined, and in an instant, they laid out an astonishing Sword Array.

Within the Sword Array, sword light flowed like the ocean, its shimmering waves glimmering. An ordinary person falling into it would be sliced into numerous pieces without even needing these sword cultivators from Haoran Academy to act. However, the Blood Owl remained indifferent, with his eyes downcast and a low voice emitting, "You ants jumping around, are truly... annoying!"

"Kill!" Yuen Changcun did not waste words with him. At his command, the Sword Array erupted, trails of sword light shuttling back and forth, interweaving and turning a vast area into a land of death.

Yet the might of the flying swords, enough to challenge any Cloud River Realm cultivator, could hardly cause much damage to the Blood Owl.

Although his Cultivation Realm was indeed restricted by the heavens and earth, limiting him to only exhibit the strength of the Peak Cloud River, his body remained of the Divine Sea Realm.

The slender build of the Blood Race did not imply weakness; on the contrary, their physical strength could be tremendous.

In fact, during earlier clashes, Soaring Dragon cultivators had noticed this issue; the physical strength of the Blood Race generally surpassed that of Soaring Dragon cultivators, with some even outmatching the monks of Vajra Temple.

Merely based on the robustness of his body, the Blood Owl was almost invincible, the infinitely sharp sword light at most only leaving minor cuts on his body.

And thanks to his formidable physique, such wounds could heal in the blink of an eye.

There was nothing more despairing than this, but Yuen Changcun's expression remained as calm as still water. A sword cultivator like him naturally had an extremely strong will and mind; the scene before him was something he had foreseen.

Therefore, upon witnessing the formidable prowess of the Blood Owl, he knew killing the opponent was not realistic, but he could do his utmost to trap him and prevent him from causing more casualties to Soaring Dragon.

Elsewhere on the battlefield, Lu Ye moved nimbly, steadily making his way towards the Bridging Altar.

As the Blood Owl made his move, the Blood Race members guarding the Bridging Altar also began to take action, joining the melee.

This caused the defenses near the Bridging Altar to become unprecedentedly weak!

For Lu Ye, this was undoubtedly an opportunity.

He had been contemplating how to get close to the Bridging Altar but had yet to find a clue; unexpectedly, the chance had suddenly presented itself.

He was acutely aware of how precious this opportunity was. It was the turning point earned through the bloody battles of Soaring Dragon cultivators, the concerted efforts of the Three Great Overlord Sects, and the oversight of the Blood Race.

Perhaps the Blood Race believed that in a place like Soaring Dragon World, it was impossible for anyone to break the Formation they had laid out.

Furthermore, given the current situation on the battlefield where the Blood Race was at a disadvantage, if they continued to remain near the Formation rather than joining the battle, the situation would only worsen for the Blood Race.

Little did they know, amidst the chaotic battlefield, a pair of eyes that did not belong to Soaring Dragon World had long since set its sights on their altar.

The path ahead turned out to be unexpectedly smooth, for wherever Lu Ye went, there would be Soaring Dragon cultivators bravely rushing out in front of him and to his left and right, restraining the nearby Blood Race.

With a sense spurred in his heart, he turned his head to look in a certain direction and saw Huang Liang, covered in blood from fighting, nodding slightly towards him.

He understood that this was Huang Liang secretly assisting him!

Having always regarded Lu Ye as the savior and having witnessed his expertise in the Array Path, Huang Liang knew that if there was anyone in the world who could break through the Blood Race's protective array, it had to be Lu Ye. Therefore, he had been paying close attention to his movements in secret.

When Lu Ye began to move, the excitement in Huang Liang's heart was indescribable. He immediately ordered the cultivators of the Imperial Heaven Sect to secretly assist Lu Ye and by all means help him reach the Bridging Altar.

Lu Ye and Huang Liang had not previously communicated about this matter, but at this moment, they coordinated seamlessly.

With the Imperial Heaven Sect cultivators' relay protection, Lu Ye barely exerted any effort before easily breaking through the Blood Race's multiple defensive lines and arriving at the outskirts of the Bridging Altar.

Even without the Blood Race guarding this place, the blood-colored barrier-like protective array continued to operate ceaselessly, firmly enveloping the Bridging Altar within.

With the existence of this blood-colored light curtain that even spirit ships couldn't contend with, the Soaring Dragon cultivators had no hope of threatening the altar.

Standing before the blood-colored light curtain, surrounded by many Imperial Heaven Sect cultivators, Lu Ye stimulated his Insight Spirit Runes to enhance his eyes.

With one glance, he discerned the nodes and weaknesses of the protective array before him.

Immediately, he raised his hand to throw out many array banners, his hands forming spells, spirit force surging, driving the array banners into the nodes and weaknesses of the blood-colored light curtain like threading a needle.

In the distant sky, Huang Liang, noticing this scene, vibrated with excitement, already sending orders for the spirit ships to prepare, ready to attack the Bridging Altar at any moment.

His feeling was right.

Ye Liu of the Tyrannical Saber Villa indeed turned out to be the prophesied savior. In this intense and urgent moment, he stepped forward, using his power alone, bringing a glimmer of hope for victory to the Soaring Dragon cultivation world!

In front of the blood-colored light curtain, Lu Ye's figure moved agilely, with numerous Imperial Heaven Sect cultivators closely following. Wherever he went, array banners were planted into the light curtain.

Breaking such a massive protective array was naturally not an easy feat.

Of course, if the goal was merely to enter covertly, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

The nearby Blood Race evidently sensed Lu Ye's intentions and attacked en masse, but were all blocked by the Imperial Heaven Sect cultivators.

In the span of mere ten breaths, Lu Ye had planted hundreds of array banners into the blood-colored light curtain.

Affected by those banners, the flow of spirit force in the light curtain became extremely sluggish. Although not completely stilled, its defensive capabilities were greatly reduced.

It was almost enough!

Lu Ye could feel a chill on his back, that feeling of being enveloped by a tremendous danger.

The source of the danger was the spirit ships brought by the Three Great Overlord Sects this time!

The attack from the spirit ships had been fully charged and locked on the direction of the altar.

"Go!" Lu Ye shouted lowly, leading the Imperial Heaven Sect cultivators beside him to flee to one side.

And almost the instant they left, on the spirit ships that were ready, the Array hummed, and a massive column of light, like roaring thunder, suddenly struck down.

In that moment, the hearts of all cultivators witnessing the scene stopped, even those who were fighting in a bloody battle spared part of their attention to watch what was unfolding near the Bridging Altar.

Not to mention Huang Liang, who had been fixating his mind on this place all along.

He had lived for many years but had never been as anxious and nervous as he was today...

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the first beam of light that arrived struck the blood-colored light curtain.

The light curtain, originally as solid as a golden soup, upon enduring this blow, suddenly developed a dense spiderweb of cracks. freēnovelkiss.com

Yet before this, this blood-colored light curtain had withstood the combined assault of three rounds from spirit ships without taking harm.

The second column of light followed closely behind.

With a "whoosh"...

The sound of shattering echoed deep within everyone's soul as the blood-colored light curtain enveloping the altar fragmented like a broken mirror!

In that instant, Huang Liang, overjoyed, could barely contain his urge to cheer and leap for joy!

It was a success!

It actually succeeded!

The protective array was broken, leaving no more obstacles outside the Bridging Altar; this abominable creation from the heavens was about to meet its destruction!
