Humanity's Great Sage

Chapter 391: Full Speed Ahead

As usual, Lu Ye kicked off the battle by launching his flying weapons at his enemy. Nine auras slammed into the body-tempering cultivators Shield Spirit Artifact so hard that his body shook, and the light on the shield weakened with each impact.

The body-tempering cultivator was shocked to say the least. He knew just how powerful his Shield Spirit Artifact was, and yet it had lost a ton of Spiritual Power in a matter of seconds. That was just how powerful Lu Yes attack was.

By the time all nine flying weapons had struck the shield, Lu Ye was already in front of the body-tempering cultivator. He activated Gravity Well as he brought down the Inviolable like lightning.

An unimaginable pressure pressed down on the body-tempering cultivator. He felt like he was struck by a mountain, not a saber. Although he ultimately managed to withstand the blow, he still nearly dropped to one knee.

The body-tempering cultivator pushed his Spiritual Power so hard that his entire face was red. He let out a mighty roar, pushed back Lu Yes saber, and brought down his spiked hammer all at the same time.

Lu Yes flying weapons appeared from the sides and slammed into the spiked hammer, causing it to miss and strike the floor right next to Lu Ye instead. There was enough force behind the blow to cause some cracks.

Spiritual Power boiled around Lu Ye as he thrust his saber forward. He was a Heaven Eight cultivator, and his saber was empowered by two Sharp Edges. Right now, his offensive power was off the charts.

The Shield Spirit Artifacts aura vanished instantly. In fact, the shield itself shattered into pieces with a loud crack.

The body-tempering cultivators expression turned horrified as Lu Ye brought his flame-wreathed saber down. He instinctively tried to call for surrender.

It was at this moment Amberthe white tiger had been crouching on his shoulder this entire timeopened its mouth and let out a mighty roar. A visible shockwave swept across his body and caused his thoughts to go blank for an instant. As a result, he missed the window to say the words he needed to say to survive.

Metal cut through flesh, and blood splattered everywhere!

The body-tempering cultivator took two unsteady steps back before collapsing on the ground. His wide open eyes were full of grievance even as they gradually turned glassy.

He knew he was no match for Lu Ye, but he thought he would have the time to surrender at least as a body-tempering cultivator. However, Amber had ruined his one shot at surviving at the last moment.

Yi Yi appeared and asked, Done already?

The girl was extremely unhappy. It was because she didnt even have the chance to participate!

They picked up the loot and requested the Heavens to teleport them away from the battlefield. After they had returned to the wooden building, Lu Ye checked the Scroll of Supremacy and confirmed that he was now in the ninety-eighth spot. The challenger could challenge the ranker five places above their spot at most. In Lu Yes case, that was the ninety-third ranker.

He didnt do so though. Instead, he challenged the ninety-fifth ranker. The reason he did not challenge the ninety-sixth and ninety-seventh ranker was because they belonged to the Grand Sky Coalition, of course.

Since he entered the Core Circle, the Thousand Demon Ridge had attacked him like he had massacred their nine generations. If he wasnt as strong as he was, he wouldve died a million times already.

Naturally, he was quite resentful of their actions even though he understood why they had done this. Forget that he was a brash young man, even the Buddha would be provoked into violence if you pushed him too far. It was why he had chosen to break out of the Myriad Poison Forest by force instead of stealth. For one, he needed to accumulate the Contribution Points necessary to buy his ward flags. Two, he wanted to give his pursuers a taste of their own medicine.

But of course, he couldnt challenge the entire world all the time. The risks alone made it something to be attempted only once in a blue moon.

On the other hand, the challenge battles of the Scroll of Supremacy was a completely different story. Since the battle only featured one-on-ones, he never had to worry about being ganged up by multiple cultivators. 𝔣𝔯𝖊𝔢𝖜𝔢𝔟𝖓𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝔠𝖔𝔪

That was why he decided that he was going to kill every Thousand Demon Ridge cultivator he encountered along the way. It was only right considering all the attacks he had received so far!
