Chapter 1987: Chapter 1985: Endless Troubles

Yuan Du is not dead, but he first fell into the All Phenomena Ocean, defiled by its waters, and now gravely injured, he is close to death unless treated promptly; otherwise, he might still have a chance to survive.

Almost simultaneously as Yuan Du was injured, a voice full of grief and anger suddenly echoed: "Brother Yuan Du!"

Immediately, several auras of Sun Blaze descended upon Three Worlds Island, precisely due to sensing something amiss here, the other four Sun Blaze governors rushed over.

It took some time to arrive from All Phenomena Island to here, yet they still managed to reach in time, showing how swift they were.

The four evidently had discussed beforehand, and upon reaching the battlefield, one instantly separated to join the fray between Ma Bin and Black Cloud.

Regarding Ma Bin, on All Phenomena Ocean’s side, they detest him to the bone, now with a rare opportunity to capture him, they naturally wouldn’t want to miss it.

Ma Bin and Black Cloud were originally evenly matched, any intervention by External Force could disrupt this balance.

The remaining three swooped towards Yuan Du, no doubt to check his condition, while the other two kept moving towards Lu Ye’s direction.

They understood the whole story very well, today’s incident was stirred up by Yuan Du’s selfish motives to target Three Worlds Island along with Black Cloud, initially, they didn’t give much attention.

As long as Yuan Du’s side was swiftly resolved, the situation cleaned up, it wouldn’t stir too much trouble, the only concern left being Jiu Yan’s questioning afterwards, but since Yuan Du had decided to act, he surely was prepared.

But the situation developed beyond everyone’s expectation; who would have thought that such a humble Three Worlds Island hid so many Sun Blaze, even harbored the Green Demon King Ma Bin, revealing their wolfish ambition.

Originally, they felt sorry for the seemingly innocent Three Worlds Island under Yuan Du’s targeting, but now they were relieved, as without Yuan Du’s targeting, they wouldn’t have uncovered the true face of Three Worlds Island, which might unexpectedly burst into bigger trouble at any time.

Now, despite the chaos, capturing Lu Ye and resolving Ma Bin would suffice.

Two Sun Blaze attacking a single Moon Jade shows their resolution to swiftly subdue Lu Ye.

"Junior brother, get going!" Luan Xiao’e shouted in a sharp voice, pairing with Yann Miao to meet the two Sun Blaze governors, immediately entangled in a skirmish, but the two women were not their match, quickly falling into a disadvantage, the situation perilous.

Lu Ye’s expression was grim.

Enough is enough!

Several times he tried to signal his Sun Blaze to retreat, only to be thwarted by unexpected occurrences, and now leaving seemed nigh impossible, whether it be Ma Bin or Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao.

On his side, there’s no more combat power left to wield, yet the All Phenomena Ocean side has a Sun Blaze who hasn’t engaged in combat, investigating Yuan Du’s injuries.

Not to mention Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao struggling, Ma Bin’s condition just slightly improved, any prolonged conflict would lead to his downfall, potentially leading to Ma Bin failing.

Sun Blaze...

Indeed, only by advancing to Sun Blaze can one participate in such clashes rather than standing by helplessly.

Lu Ye gently clenched his fist, his Mana began to surge.

Though regrettable, life is often filled with disappointments, nine out of ten times, only by overcoming current adversities can one discuss the future.

Just when he decided to go all out to ascend to Sun Blaze, a formidable aura suddenly enveloped him, followed by a powerful Mental Consciousness strike crashing down from nowhere.

Lu Ye felt his head buzzing, if not for the seven-color Divine Lotus stabilizing his psyche, this alone might have shattered his mind.

Looking up, he saw that a figure had broken away from the two Sun Blaze governors fighting against Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao, rushing towards him.

Lu Ye recognized the coming figure, seemingly Guk Xi from Celestial Flames World!

The one who had just unleashed Soul Power against him was indeed this person.

Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao’s strength ultimately fell short, their attempt to jointly block the two was futile; within mere moments of skirmish, Guk Xi broke free, leaving another to duel them, tightly entangling them.

Yet, the two women had to go all out regardless.

"A malignant tumor, you must not be spared!" Guk Xi gazed at Lu Ye with full murderous intent, clearly moved to kill.

Yuan Du is entwined with Lu Ye in grudges, hence he targeted Lu Ye and stirred trouble on Three Worlds Island, while Guk Xi simply couldn’t stand Lu Ye and Three Worlds Island, given the chance, he naturally wouldn’t hold back.

Facing Guk Xi’s attack, Lu Ye couldn’t remain in place, turning to escape, ready to plunge into the ocean—long prepared.

Just at this moment, somewhere on Three Worlds Island, a dazzling golden beam suddenly shot forth.

The golden beam sped rapidly, and before it fired, there was no sign; Lu Ye hadn’t perceived it, even Guk Xi, a Sun Blaze, hadn’t reacted.

The golden beam struck Guk Xi’s body...

Lu Ye halted abruptly, utterly unexpected that at this time, someone within Three Worlds Island dared to strike Guk Xi.

Who is it?

But when he saw Gu Xi’s state clearly, he couldn’t help but be taken aback. At this moment, a layer of golden light inexplicably appeared on Gu Xi’s body, and atop that golden light were dense imprints of ancient coins.

The shape and appearance of these ancient coins looked somewhat familiar.

At the same time, the anger and killing intent on Gu Xi’s face quickly vanished, replaced by astonishment and panic. He maintained his forward-flying posture, yet his whole body was shrouded in a layer of golden light. This golden light possessed an extremely terrifying restrictive power, rendering him immobile, even unable to activate the mana within his body.

Then, under Lu Ye’s puzzled gaze, Gu Xi directly fell dozens of feet in front of him, sliding with inertia and gradually stopping at a position not far in front of him.

Even after falling to the ground, he still maintained his flying posture, looking utterly ridiculous.

Lu Ye suddenly turned his head and immediately saw a familiar figure standing at the location of the pill-making room, quietly watching in this direction.

Hua Ci! Lu Ye’s eyes widened.

Why is she here? And when did she return? I didn’t notice at all.

Moreover, I just went to see her under the sea a few days ago, and at that time, she showed no signs of waking up, yet now she has unexpectedly returned.

At this moment, Hua Ci stood there quietly, holding a golden toad beast pet in her arms. In the hazy golden light, she exuded an aura of serene peace yet with an inviolable sacredness.

No doubt, the golden light that struck Gu Xi just now must have been her doing.

And the source of this method came from that peculiar ancient coin.

Back then, Lu Ye even used that ancient coin to trap a Sun Blaze-level star beast under the sea, demonstrating the coin’s immense power. Lu Ye even suspected whether that thing could be a supreme treasure of the stellar space; otherwise, it couldn’t possibly wield such incredible power.

At that time, when he set off for the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, he entrusted the ancient coin to Hua Ci, both to provide her with some protection on the All Phenomena Sea and to leave a trump card for Three Worlds Island.

As a result, one day, while playing with the ancient coin, Hua Ci’s beast pet swallowed it, and since then, both the beast pet and Hua Ci, the owner, had been sealed in a piece of Amber.

Lu Ye was unaware of what changes occurred to yield such a result, but over these years, Hua Ci remained vital, and her strength seemed to keep growing...

Now, upon her reappearance, Lu Ye sensed remotely and discovered that the grandeur of Hua Ci’s aura was not at all inferior to his own!

This was quite astonishing.

He was currently at a Moon Jade Late Stage cultivation, and if Hua Ci’s aura wasn’t inferior to his, didn’t that mean she also had this level of cultivation?

His cultivation could grow so rapidly due to the aid of the Talent Tree.

As for Hua Ci... the ancient coin could also absorb the waters of the All Phenomena Sea. She and her beast pet were sealed in that Amber, placed by Lu Ye under the sea, continually absorbing the waters of the All Phenomena Sea over the years. Such growth didn’t seem surprising.

The only thing that puzzled Lu Ye was the somewhat wooden and slightly aloof gaze Hua Ci directed at him.

However, given the current situation, he had no time to ponder further.

Looking down at Gu Xi, who lay not far ahead, the expression in Lu Ye’s eyes changed.

He had already resolved to advance to Sun Blaze on the spot, ready to endure any consequences, because only by doing so could he join the battle and possibly alter the course of events. But what if he could advance without any regrets?

He wasn’t incapable of doing so, merely hesitant due to his experiences in the Asura Field and the previous cautions from Su Yuqing and Ma Bin.

Or perhaps, he simply hadn’t had the opportunity previously.

And now, the opportunity was right before him!

"Who goes there!" An angry shout interrupted Lu Ye’s thoughts as a figure rose quickly, vigilantly looking toward Hua Ci’s direction.

It was Chen Xuanba from the Gaotian Continent. He had hurried to check on Yuan Du immediately because, among the several Sun Blaze governors, he was the closest to Yuan Du, hence he was most concerned about Yuan Du’s injuries.

His investigation left him alarmed. Although Yuan Du was not dead, his injuries were severe and shocking; he could tell at a glance that even if Yuan Du survived by some miracle, he would struggle to maintain his Sun Blaze cultivation as the erosion from the All Phenomena Sea waters was unsolvable.

The only thing he could do was have Yuan Du take a great elixir pill to temporarily keep him alive.

But then he witnessed a scene that sent chills up his spine. After a mysterious golden light struck, Gu Xi, a fellow Sun Blaze governor, was suddenly imprisoned and fell straight down.

Only upon flying into the air did he see clearly who it was.

There stood a woman appearing extremely noble and sacred within the golden light, holding a beast pet that shone like gold and resembled a toad.

As he scanned with his Mental Consciousness, Chen Xuanba frowned because, in his perception, this woman clearly only had a Moon Jade cultivation, yet how could she emit a golden light that could confine a Sun Blaze?

He thought perhaps a new Sun Blaze had emerged from Three Worlds Island!

Being not a Sun Blaze, it must be the power of some magic treasure, but what kind of magic treasure could be so terrifying?
