Free Web NovelChapter 2040: Chapter 2038: Returned Without Success
Ever since Lu Ye led the Three Worlds cultivators to adventure across the All Phenomena Ocean, he consistently adhered to the principle of repaying grudges and settling scores. First there was Baiyue, then Zixuan, and ultimately he turned the entire All Phenomena Ocean upside down.
Because in a place like this, any act of showing weakness would only lead others to intensify their actions. Now that the Three Worlds Island governs the All Phenomena Ocean, how could he tolerate being hunted down as the master of Three Worlds Island?
Beneath the All Phenomena Ocean, Lu Ye didn’t go too deep. He was aware of the old man’s departure, and after a moment, he quickly emerged from the sea surface.
Not far away, Luan Xiao’e’s aura rapidly approached, and Lu Ye hurriedly approached her.
Luan Xiao’e asked nervously, "What happened?"
Hua Ci also looked over with concern, "How are you?"
Given the current situation, they couldn’t conceive of anyone daring to hunt Lu Ye, so they rushed over upon receiving the news.
However, Little Fella was usually close to only Hua Ci and Lu Ye, so Luan Xiao’e brought Hua Ci along. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Lu Ye shook his head, "It’s nothing serious." He raised his hand to grab Little Fella from Hua Ci’s arms, placing it on his shoulder, then turned and chased after the foe, his voice echoing in the distance, "You should go back first. Don’t leave Three Worlds Island until I return."
The tables turned so swiftly; previously, the old man was relentlessly chasing Lu Ye, but now it was Lu Ye’s turn to hunt him.
However, there was ultimately a gap in cultivation between them, so it was somewhat challenging for Lu Ye to catch up to him.
But it didn’t matter; Lu Ye basically confirmed the opponent’s identity. The old guy might escape the monk, but he couldn’t escape the monastery.
To Lu Ye’s surprise, during the pursuit, the old man didn’t return to any domain within the All Phenomena Galaxy but fled directly out of the star system.
This left Lu Ye somewhat disgruntled. Did the other party know they’d caused trouble and decided to escape directly? If so, there wasn’t much Lu Ye could do about it.
However, there was still a chance...
During the ambush, he had managed to injure the opponent with a backward stroke, a minor flesh wound, but inflicted by the Barghest Saber, leaving a trace of the barghest’s power on the wound.
A strong Peak Sun Blaze like the old man would indeed have the ability to resolve the barghest’s power, but it would take a few days. The opportunity lay within these few days. If the old man stopped somewhere, Lu Ye could stealthily track the barghest’s power, then strike with a flash of golden light, taking him down regardless of his high cultivation.
While Lu Ye was following the trail of the barghest’s power, hunting the old man as he fled, on All Phenomena Island, Jiu Yan’s face changed dramatically, and she stood up abruptly, flying outward.
The sudden upheaval caught her completely off guard. It was supposed to be a simple meeting, but the agreed person didn’t show, and instead, she heard some unbelievable news.
Her heart was filled with fury.
The situation in the All Phenomena Ocean had already stabilized, which could be considered the best scenario. Three Worlds Island didn’t intend to eradicate everyone, and although All Phenomena Galaxy lost control over the All Phenomena Ocean, which was frustrating for some, they couldn’t surpass Three Worlds Island’s strength.
In the cultivation world, strength has always been revered above all.
Moreover, throughout the previous upheavals in the All Phenomena Ocean, Three Worlds Island was never the primary aggressor; Lu Ye and his cultivators were forced to resist.
A few days ago, she learned that the eldest senior brother, who had been traveling outside, returned to All Phenomena Galaxy. Therefore, she sent them a message, asking them to visit All Phenomena Ocean, partly to talk things over, and partly to show them the current state of the All Phenomena Ocean.
She had no intention of resolving the enmity between Three Worlds Island and All Phenomena Galaxy, as she was also a part of the All Phenomena Sun Blaze. She simply didn’t want any more upheavals in the All Phenomena Ocean, and maintaining the status quo depended on the returning senior brother’s attitude.
She believed that, as long as she could convey her reasoning, the senior brother wouldn’t be unreasonable, especially since Three Worlds Island was willing to share half of the profits from the All Phenomena Merchants Guild.
But she never imagined that her actions would trigger another incident!
Now she received news that Lu Ye, carrying the stellar space supreme treasure, had already left the All Phenomena Ocean, with his whereabouts unknown...
Her heart was filled with anxiety, fearing that if Lu Ye, driven by anger, went to those domains of All Phenomena and launched a massacre, the situation would spin out of control.
The previous deaths of Yuan Du and others were Lu Ye’s counterattack, not his fault. However, if Lu Ye were to vent his anger on those domains this time, she wouldn’t know how to deal with it.
As she set off, she suddenly sensed a powerful Sun Blaze aura emanating from the direction of Zixuan Island, also flying towards the outer All Phenomena Ocean.
Zixuan Island... should now be called Fangcun Island. A while ago, a number of Dwarf Race took residence there, led by someone named Su Yuqing.
The one setting off now must be this Sun Blaze.
The relationship between Lu Ye and the Dwarf Race is not well understood by her, but since the Dwarf Race can settle on Zixuan Island, their relationship must be very close; otherwise, there is no reason for Three Worlds Island to hand over a top-class Spirit Island to the Dwarf Race.
At this time, Su Yuqing flew towards All Phenomena Ocean too, obviously having received some news and going to support Lu Ye.
The Mental Consciousness of the two Sun Blaze cultivators touched from afar, each understanding in their hearts. Soon, they saw each other at All Phenomena Ocean, exchanged a glance from a distance, then each withdrew their gaze and traveled side by side with a gap between them.
On the way, Jiu Yan kept sending messages asking Yuan Se and others about the situation in various domains of All Phenomena Galaxy.
Soon, she calmed her mind, because Lu Ye’s figure was not found in several major domains of All Phenomena Galaxy, which meant the worst had not happened.
Lu Ye obviously took the stellar space supreme treasure and went after that senior brother!
Yuan Se and others undoubtedly also received messages from that senior brother, aware of the trouble he caused, and were all gathered in Yiyuan World, anxious and uneasy.
They hesitated whether to flee.
It was undoubtedly the best time to escape now; if Lu Ye turned his attention to them later and decided to trouble them, none of them could withstand it.
But All Phenomena is their root, their homeland. That senior brother who caused trouble must leave, but they don’t want to.
As Sun Blaze, leaving All Phenomena means they will be wandering and living under others’ roofs in the future, a situation no Sun Blaze wants to face.
Jiu Yan offered a round of comfort, feeling utterly exhausted.
On the other side, Lu Ye had been chasing for several days, without seeing even a shadow of the old man. Through the feedback of barghest’s power, Lu Ye could determine the old man wasn’t moving at full speed. Though Lu Ye was trying his best, his speed was still outmatched.
This was disappointing; the huge gap in cultivation brought a speed disparity that couldn’t be resolved. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Over several days, the feedback from barghest’s power gradually weakened and today disappeared altogether.
This undoubtedly showed that the old man had resolved the residual barghest’s power at the site of the wound.
Although the Barghest Saber’s quality improved significantly after Lu Ye reached Sun Blaze, the old man was not an ordinary person. After all these days, he naturally could dissolve the erosion of barghest’s power.
Lu Ye did not give up and pursued the location where the barghest’s power disappeared for two more days, then reluctantly stopped.
Without the guidance of barghest’s power, he couldn’t find the old man’s position in the vast stellar space; this time, the chase was a complete failure.
Remembering the enmity in his heart, Lu Ye looked into the depths of the stellar space, then turned around and returned the way he came.
During the ambush, the old man did not intend to kill him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly suppressed him with the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique; he probably wanted to capture him. Even so, Lu Ye took quite a hit, the trauma of the Divine Sea still lingering with bouts of dull ache in his head.
Previously, when he was not Sun Blaze, he didn’t realize it deeply. Since ascending to Sun Blaze, he repeatedly suffered losses in psyche during battles; those veteran Sun Blaze cultivators had unfathomable achievements in psyche cultivation, making it impossible for a newly promoted Sun Blaze like him to compete even with natural advantages.
He needed to go to the Soul Race ancestral land to cultivate Soul Suppressing Secret Technique early to avoid such occurrences in the future; Lu Ye had decided on this plan. He actually planned it long ago but hadn’t gotten around to implementing it.
But before that... seeking revenge on the old man isn’t feasible, but he can surely collect some interest!
After rushing for several more days, Lu Ye approached Yiyuan World.
From afar, he saw a familiar figure standing there, quickly flew over, and exclaimed in surprise: "Yuqing, why are you here?"
It was Su Yuqing standing there.
Su Yuqing had arrived at All Phenomena Ocean, which Lu Ye was well aware of. Currently, the Dwarf Race occupied Fangcun Island, with a large number of tribe members moving in, attracting the attention of the entire All Phenomena Ocean. Even though the original Zixuan Island wasn’t a trading Spirit Island with a relatively small scale, unable to accommodate many cultivators coming and going, All Phenomena Ocean’s cultivators still needed to head to Three Worlds Island if they wished to purchase Spirit Talismans.
At present, Three Worlds Island cleared a whole street, providing more than twenty shops for the Dwarf Race to sell Spirit Talismans.
However, he couldn’t figure out why Su Yuqing was there.
"Upon hearing you were in trouble, I came here looking for you. Someone told me you would come here and asked me to wait for you here," said Su Yuqing, looking Lu Ye up and down, relieved to see he was unharmed, and couldn’t help but advise: "Even with a stellar space supreme treasure, don’t take such risks next time. The one you’re chasing should be Peak Sun Blaze; he indeed cannot withstand the stellar space supreme treasure, but with his cultivation, he has numerous tactics, and might defeat you before you can use the stellar space supreme treasure."
Feeling her deep concern, Lu Ye nodded constantly: "I know." The reason he dared to chase was relying on the feedback from barghest’s power, allowing him to determine the opponent’s position and ensure he wasn’t ambushed. Without such factors, facing such a powerful enemy, he would never chase alone with a stellar space supreme treasure.
The stellar space supreme treasure indeed is powerful, but certainly not invincible.
