Before Chen Xuanba could make sense of it, the golden light that he had seen earlier suddenly flickered in his vision.

He was shocked and tried to evade immediately, but it was impossible. The speed of that golden light exceeded imagination; even someone as strong as him, at the Sun Blaze level, had no room or chance to dodge.

He even felt that once the golden light appeared, it was inevitable that he would be hit, no matter how he tried to evade, it was to no avail.

Chen Xuanba was directly struck, and in the next moment, his body sank, his Mana was imprisoned, just like Guk Xi previously, he fell straight down.

All the cultivators watching were stunned.

The dispute at Three Worlds Island today, changes came one after another, it’s simply dizzying and blinding.

Moreover, the hidden strength of Three Worlds Island is shocking.

Before today, anyone would think that even though Three Worlds Island is a top-class Spirit Island, as long as a Sun Blaze intervenes, it’s impossible to resist, but in reality, after the All Phenomena Ocean’s five Sun Blaze collectively took action, they only managed to break a protective array of Three Worlds Island, without doing any serious harm to it.

Such foundations are truly astonishing.

Even more incredible is, how could Three Worlds Island hide so much strength right under the noses of the Sun Blaze governors?

The change here undoubtedly shocked another battle group fighting near Three Worlds Island.

This was Muh Qing fighting alone against Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao’s battle group. Originally, Muh Qing, relying on her own power, had Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao, two new Sun Blazes, only able to defend themselves. But noticing the encounters of Guk Xi and Chen Xuanba, she had to reserve some power to guard against the unexpected.

She even silently moved the battlefield farther away to avoid falling victim to Hua Ci!

In this way, Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao’s situation suddenly improved a lot.

As for Ma Bin, Black Cloud, and Mo Wenli’s battle group, they had been fighting several tens of thousands of miles away, all three sparing no effort, completely unaware of the changes over at Three Worlds Island.

Within Three Worlds Island, Lu Ye stepped forward, walking step by step to stand before Guk Xi, who lay on the ground yet still strangely maintained the posture of flight, and looked down at him with a detached expression: "Why, why force me?"

From start to finish, he never had big ambitions, seizing Three Worlds Island was merely to establish a footing on the All Phenomena Ocean, to earn enough cultivation resources for Three Worlds cultivators.

As long as he waited a few more years, once he gathered enough resources, when his Magic Source was refined to Perfection and he ascended to Sun Blaze, he would leave the All Phenomena Ocean.

Since the attack on Baiyue, to the later defeat of Zixuan, everything he did was in line with the rules of the All Phenomena Ocean, never intending to break them, even when Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao ascended to Sun Blaze, they remained honest and kept to the Merfolk Territory.

Because the All Phenomena Ocean could sustain prosperity for so many years was precisely because of such rules and orders; breaking them rashly would benefit no one.

But, while he adhered to the rules, those who set the rules were unwilling to comply! It’s truly absurd.

If those who set the rules don’t adhere to them, then someone else has to set the rules...

"It’s truly unpredictable!" Lu Ye sighed deeply, his entire body radiating blood light, gazing at the once unattainable Sun Blaze, now lying helplessly before him, he suddenly realized that all injustices and targeting in this world ought to be fiercely resisted!

The Blood Sea surged and spread out, obscuring the figures of him and Guk Xi, outsiders no longer able to see what was happening inside.

Lu Ye reached out toward Guk Xi’s head.

Guk Xi seemed to sense danger and since being imprisoned, he too had been waiting for this moment, his Psyche Force fiercely activated, a Psyche Secret Technique unfolding.

Lu Ye vaguely saw a sharp and unmatched sword light slashing towards him, but strangely, the sword light was not material; after it slashed into his body, he didn’t feel any physical pain.

Slightly dazed...

At the same time, within the Divine Sea, sword light rampaged, but under the seven-color Divine Lotus’s radiance washing over, that rampaging sword light quickly lost its power, swiftly disappearing.

Lu Ye then regained consciousness, a wave of pain emerged in his mind.

"Psyche Secret Technique..." Lu Ye pondered, realizing it seemed Hua Ci’s inherited ancient coin ability could imprison a cultivator’s Mana and body but not their psyche.

Thus, Guk Xi could deploy a Psyche Secret Technique.

If a regular Moon Jade were targeted like this, their psyche would inevitably be wounded, possibly leading to immediate death.

Fortunately, Lu Ye had the seven-color Divine Lotus to guard his Divine Sea; the psyche suffered minor damage, after all, it was a full-force strike from a Sun Blaze, but it was not severe, just needed him to recuperate, he could recover.

Guk Xi’s eyes were filled with shock, unable to comprehend why his secret technique hadn’t worked.

In the next instant, Lu Ye’s palm struck his head, the roots of the Talent Tree quickly spread and extended, the power activated, Lu Ye’s voice resonated beside his ear: "Die!"

Guk Xi’s eyes suddenly widened, pupils nearly bursting, filled with bloodshot lines momentarily, because when Lu Ye moved, an indescribable pain swept his entire being, he vividly felt his blood Qi, Mana, even psyche being frantically devoured by an unknown force.

In stark contrast, Lu Ye’s face was lit with joy, his eyes shut tightly, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

During a previous trial in the Asura Field, Lu Ye had devoured numerous shadows and experienced what it felt like to use his Talent Tree to consume a living being.

But only now did he realize the difference between devouring shadows and consuming real life forms; the deadly satisfaction of the latter was many times greater than the former.

Especially since Guk Xi was a Sun Blaze!

He almost succumbed to it instantly, unable to extricate himself.

Fortunately, he had prepared for this in advance. His tongue was bitten off, and the intense pain brought him back to consciousness slightly, his mouth filled with the scent of blood.

His strong physique allowed his injured tongue to swiftly heal, only to be bitten off again...

And so it continued in cycles.

Lu Ye’s expression was ferocious and frightening, blood flowing from his mouth, resembling a fearsome ghost.

Guk Xi’s presence swiftly weakened, from Sun Blaze to Moon Jade, then to Constellation...

His vitality dimmed, his breath waned; in just a moment, his whole body withered, his eyes glaring in anger, completely devoid of life.

The Blood Sea surged and roared, sweeping Guk Xi’s corpse, turning it directly into powder, leaving only several storage rings!

"Not enough!" Lu Ye felt his own being, his blood Qi raging fiercely, his Mana overflowing, and his damaged psyche had already recovered, but his Magic Source hadn’t reached perfection!

In the Blood Sea, he turned his gaze to another direction, where Yuan Du and Chen Xuanba were located.

"Since I’ve chosen this path, even if it’s wrong, I must continue down it!"

Resolving in his heart, his figure moved, the Blood Sea rolling, soon engulfing where Yuan Du and Chen Xuanba were.

The two Sun Blazes, one clinging to life with the effects of a great elixir pill, barely surviving, the other trapped by the golden glow of a treasure coin, unable to move just like Guk Xi before, suddenly entrapped by the Blood Sea, both were shocked.

They hadn’t yet realized Guk Xi’s demise.

"It’s that Lu Yiye, he truly is of the Blood Race!" Yuan Du coughed lightly, his face pale, instantly understanding whose methods these were.

Initially, he had planned to use the Blood Race to frame Lu Ye, thus giving him a reason to strike against the Three Worlds Island. But the Blood Race, pre-arranged, suddenly betrayed, making him realize his framing might be true; otherwise, he couldn’t explain why the Blood Race acted that way; the Blood Race’s betrayal was undoubtedly shielding their kin.

"Truly vile." A voice carried over, Yuan Du’s expression changed, turning to look, only to find Lu Ye had somehow already stood next to him.

"You..." Yuan Du was furious and immediately tried to strike, but as soon as he activated his Mana, he was wracked with pain, unable to muster any strength.

"Why target my Three Worlds Island? We are but a group of outsiders, struggling for survival in the All Phenomena Ocean." Lu Ye looked at Yuan Du, "The entirety of All Phenomena Ocean is like this; you Sun Blazes, high on your thrones, can you not see it?"

Yuan Du snorted coldly, "Those lacking virtue don’t deserve high positions. Boy, with this day’s events on your Three Worlds Island, there will be no future for you. And that you dared to harbor Ma Bin, once this spreads, even Jiu Yan won’t tolerate you. If you’re wise, you’ll willingly kneel and be struck, then hand over the treasure that opens the Merfolk Territory, perhaps sparing your Three Worlds Island’s sect disciples." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Lacking virtue..." Lu Ye’s gaze flickered before he suddenly swiped a slap.

Yuan Du was sent flying from the force of the slap, his face swollen and half his face pounded. Not for nothing was he of Sun Blaze flesh, where a Moon Jade would have their head explode with such a hit, he merely sustained minor injury.

Landing heavily, Yuan Du gazed incredulously at Lu Ye, who stepped toward him, unable to fathom one day he’d suffer such humiliation at the hands of a Moon Jade.

Beset by vengeful wrath, a mouthful of blood was spewed, worsening his injuries.

"What virtue do you have to discuss?" Lu Ye stepped forward, grabbing Yuan Du’s neck, pulling him up, glaring coldly into his face: "What are you even worth?"

Yuan Du fought desperately, but soon his face twisted in terror, crying out in pain.

He felt something inside him, and his Essence Qi was being devoured furiously, his Sun Blaze essence rapidly dissipating, Lu Ye’s voice ringing in his ears.

"Tell me, why won’t you speak? Why target my Three Worlds Island? Initially, we held no grievance against you, we even wished to seek your favor, remember, Old Tang visited your short-stay palace and was turned away! Old Tang returned seething in anger."

"Targeting my Three Worlds Island was joyous? Now that it’s reached this point, it’s hard to conclude, what’s this, self-made ruin?"

"Speak! You! Why! Aren’t! You! Speaking!"

Lu Ye shook the corpse in his hand like a dried-out noodle, blinking, only then realizing Yuan Du was already dead!

"Still not enough!"

Lu Ye tossed the corpse aside, then glanced over where Chen Xuanba was terrifiedly staring at him, smiled gently, "Don’t be afraid!"
