Sage of Humanity-Chapter 726 - 724: The Sky is Broken, How to Mend It?

The Blood Race's target had always been the Soaring Dragon World itself and not its cultivators.

Their previous pursuits were merely aimed at weakening the resistance in the Soaring Dragon World. Having failed to catch their targets and endured heavy losses, the Blood Race simply stopped bothering.

Furthermore, traversing between worlds is not as easy as one might imagine, even with the Blood River Great Array set up by the Sky Ravine Sect as a bridging mechanism, the number of Blood Race members who could enter the Soaring Dragon World in the first wave wouldn't be too many.

Thus, what the Blood Race needed to do now was to quickly construct the Bridging Altar to not only facilitate the arrival of the Blood World but also bring more of their people over.

Once the Blood Race completed their plan, the fall of the Soaring Dragon World would be imminent.

Amidst the anguished cries of several Blood Race members, the one pointed out by Little Miracle Healer revealed everything he knew clearly.

The situation was much more serious than anticipated!

Based on the limited intelligence in their possession, people like Huang Liang merely thought the arrival of the Blood Race was a foreign invasion, which could be repelled by defeating the invaders.

But now, it seemed that the crisis was not merely an invasion by the Blood Race, but a larger danger from the descent of the Blood World.

This was a disaster targeting an entire domain.

Moreover, the situation had arisen so suddenly that the Soaring Dragon World was completely unprepared.

Although news had spread through various channels and virtually all cultivators were aware of the foreign enemy, only a few present here knew the true extent of the situation.

"This matter is of great importance, it must be announced to everyone," Yuen Changcun said gravely.

It was crucial for the cultivators of the Soaring Dragon World to understand what enemy they were facing and the situation they were in. Only then could the cultivators realize that there was no retreat against the Blood Race—any withdrawal would lead to utter destruction.

In the past few days, a massive number of cultivators from the Three Great Overlord Sects had headed north to prepare to defend against the foreign enemy, but there were also others with ulterior motives who wished to join the Blood Race.

In their view, if the Sky Ravine Sect could ally with the Blood Race, they could too. The Blood Race had already demonstrated formidable strength, and the way out found by the Celestial Saint for the Soaring Dragon World might not be as bad as imagined.

However, if these people knew the true plan of the Blood Race, they might not think the same.

Huang Liang and Monk Guangjing both nodded in agreement. With such critical intelligence at hand, the two naturally would not conceal it; on the contrary, they aimed to spread it as widely as possible.

"We need to act quickly," Huang Liang said with a grave look, "Our actions must be faster than those of the Blood Race. We absolutely cannot allow them to complete that so-called Bridging Altar. Once it's finished, the Soaring Dragon is doomed!"

Originally, with the big array from Medicine Valley, the Soaring Dragon World had a natural frontline defense against the Blood Race, but now it seemed that the big array in Medicine Valley could no longer play a significant role.

The Soaring Dragon side didn't have the luxury of defensive passivity; they had to take the initiative, even if it meant sacrificing lives to prevent the Blood Race from completing their plan to build the Bridging Altar.

As the three discussed, there seemed to be another anomaly in the distant Void.

Sensing something, everyone looked toward the direction of the Sky Ravine, only to see a massive Blood Ravine across the Void, thick with crimson blood, as if a river of blood was pouring down.

A Blood Race member, still howling in agony, suddenly let out a piercing laugh, "The reinforcements for my Blood Race have arrived, you... are doomed!"

Little Miracle Healer turned her head to look at him, raising her hand to shoot several flying needles into his body, making his already pitiful scream even more excruciating. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Observing this, the other Blood Race members felt a deep fear, thinking this human woman was more terrifying than any creatures they had encountered.

The group was still unclear about the exact nature of the anomaly at Sky Ravine, but after hearing the words of the Blood Race member, they immediately realized that a dire situation had worsened.

The first batch of Blood Race members that descended into the Soaring Dragon World was not very numerous. After the heavy casualties in the battle at Medicine Valley, it was possible for the Soaring Dragon World to muster the strength to attack hard and potentially repel the invaders had they known at that time.

But now with the reinforcements for the Blood Race, achieving that goal had become difficult.

Huang Liang and others were exceedingly frustrated at that moment.

But upon further thought, knowing this information beforehand might not have been useful since gathering forces on the Soaring Dragon side required time, and they simply couldn't launch such a large-scale battle so suddenly.

In fact, the cultivators of the Soaring Dragon were still en route, with the quickest possibly arriving in Xuezhou in one or two days, while the slowest might take three to five days.

Huang Liang and others hastily left, needing to spread the newly acquired intelligence quickly to get the incoming supportive cultivators to speed up.

Only Lu Ye, Little Miracle Healer, and the cultivators guarding the Blood Race members were left at the scene.

Little Miracle Healer looked at the Blood Race member who had disclosed the information, giving a slight smile, "I keep my word."

The Blood Race member heaved a sigh of relief, but then a bright flash of a blade swept in front of him.

As the blade flashed again, the few still screaming Blood Race members were silenced one by one.

Lu Ye sheathed his blade.

Little Miracle Healer looked at him surprised, "Why kill them all?"

Hadn't they agreed that the first to speak would be granted a swift death? This action seemed to show her as dishonest.

"With the intelligence secured, keeping them was useless and their noise was grating," Lu Ye explained nonchalantly, actually calming his mind and checking his battlefield marking.

In the section of his battlefield marking that recorded battle merit, it boldly marked: 29,718 points!

Worth almost the quantity of two gold-hued spirit fortune sticks in battle merits!

When Lu Ye entered the secret realm of Soaring Dragon World, he was full of expectations, because of his previous experience in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain's secret realm, he knew that in such secret realms that use a domain as the background, it was very likely to obtain things like battle merits.

Last time, in the secret realm of Tianyuan City, he had obtained a massive amount of battle merits, but before they even got warm, he exchanged them all for soul water.

It was indeed a worthwhile trade, after all, there are other channels to obtain battle merits, but soul water can only be obtained from Tianyuan City.

It was precisely because of his harvest in Tianyuan City that he could recklessly challenge the Hundred Arrays Pagoda and gain even more.

But ultimately, there was some regret because, for him, the most urgent task at the moment was to exchange battle merits for spirit fortune sticks to improve his cultivation.

Only by doing so, would he have enough self-protection power on the Cloud River battlefield.

He originally thought that the Soaring Dragon World was an opportunity.

However, the result greatly disappointed Lu Ye, who had killed some people front and back, let alone battle merits, not even his merit had increased in the slightest.

But surprises always come unexpectedly.

The Blood Race forcefully invaded, attacking Medicine Valley, and he, stationed at the Central Hub of the big array and cooperating with Soaring Dragon cultivators to kill the enemy, became famous in one battle and also obtained a large amount of battle merits!

In the battle of Medicine Valley, not a single member of the Blood Race died directly at the hands of Lu Ye; instead, they were mostly slain by Soaring Dragon cultivators with Lu Ye's assistance.

Even so, in the battle of Medicine Valley, his contribution was indelible, Lu Ye guessed, this was also the source of those copious battle merits.

The methods for obtaining battle merits and merits are not quite the same.

Merit can only be obtained by killing enemies, depending on what kind of enemy you kill, you can gain a corresponding amount of merits.

But battle merits do not necessarily require killing the enemy personally—in a battle, contributing any amount of strength can also earn battle merits, Heaven's Augury has its own standards for judgment.

In the battle of Medicine Valley, even if Lu Ye did not personally slay any member of the Blood Race, his role was pivotal in winning the battle, which is why he could obtain a large amount of battle merits.

Vaguely remembering, after the secret realm of Tianyuan City, he had only 836 battle merits left, but now he had nearly 30,000, showing how rich the gains from the battle of Medicine Valley were.

For Lu Ye, the Blood Race equaled battle merits, and now that it was an easy time to obtain them, why would he hesitate or be lenient?

Mosquito meat is also meat, what's more, four Blood Race members had brought him nearly two hundred points of battle merits, worth a white spirit fortune stick.

While he was investigating, suddenly a message came through the battlefield marking, Lu Ye hurriedly checked it, then immediately grabbed Little Miracle Healer's arm and leaped towards the cottage, "Liuli's illness has flared up again!"

There was a disturbance at Sky Ravine, Blood Race reinforcements arrived, once again manifesting on Ye Liuli's physical body!

Quickly arriving at the cottage, Little Miracle Healer stepped forward to treat, and it took quite an effort to stabilize Ye Liuli's condition.

Stepping out of the cottage, he saw Lu Ye looking intently towards the horizon where the Sky Ravine was located and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Ye slowly said, "A torn garment can be sewn up, but how do you mend a broken sky?"

Although it was a question, Lu Ye already had the answer in his mind.

All signs indicated that to truly rid Ye Liuli of her ailment, the Sky Ravine needed to be completely eradicated.

The formation of the Sky Ravine was directly linked to the absorption by the Blood World, so to mend the sky, the Blood World had to know its difficulty and retreat, separating on its own from the Soaring Dragon World.

Without the attachment and sucking of the Blood World, the Sky Ravine could naturally and slowly repair itself.

Thinking of achieving this, there was one prerequisite.

Repel the invading Blood Race! Let the Blood Race dare not invade the Soaring Dragon World along the Sky Ravine again.

At this moment, Lu Ye could faintly feel that the ultimate goal of his journey in the Soaring Dragon World secret realm was only one.

Mend the Sky!

If he could accomplish this, then he would undoubtedly earn battle merits far greater than those from the battle of Medicine Valley.

He probably understood why the entrance to this secret realm was a damaged teleportation array.

That entrance was clearly a test.

Only by repairing the broken teleportation array was one qualified to enter this secret realm, qualified to undertake the great task of mending the sky.

With a vague plan in mind, but to implement this plan, he still needed many leveraging efforts.

What made him relieved was that the Soaring Dragon cultivation world responded quickly in the face of such a calamity, united as one, which was inseparable from the long-standing tradition of the Three Great Overlord Sects.

And people like Huang Liang had been extremely friendly towards him in the past few days, which invisibly reduced many obstacles for his plan.

The news of the Blood Race and the Blood World continued to ferment among the cultivators of the Soaring Dragon World, with even richer and more daunting news coming from the Three Great Overlord Sects.
