Chapter 1990: Chapter 1988: Advancing to Sun Blaze Today

Actually, there’s no need to investigate; Lu Ye already has a premonition.

Because at this very moment, even though he hasn’t actively exerted himself, his entire body’s mana is crazily circulating within, at a speed never seen before.

The Root Spiritual Orifice, the Magic Source location, feels particularly hot.

The Magic Source has reached perfection!

Lu Ye felt a sense of nostalgia; this journey was not easy...

During the Moon Jade Early Stage and mid-stage, he didn’t have a clear understanding since no one had guided him in this aspect. It wasn’t until he realized he needed to polish the Magic Source to perfection to condense the Qi Flower, that he was already at the Moon Jade Late Stage.

It was only then that he set off for the Asura Domain, gained many benefits in the Asura Field, and returned to the All Phenomena Ocean where he acquired some, Jiu Yan gifted some...

Feeling calmly, the mana circulation speed increases, faintly, Lu Ye senses a slight heat at his brow.

Having experienced the Body Flower condensing, this abnormal change undoubtedly excites him; it’s clearly a sign that the Qi Flower is about to condense!

He remains still, making no reaction, allowing the mana to circulate.

Time passes, and when the heat at his brow reaches a limit, something seems to suddenly emerge, and in the next moment, the rapidly circulating mana slowly calms down.

Only then does Lu Ye hurriedly open his eyes, flips his hand to take out a mirror-shaped magic treasure from the storage ring, and upon reflection, indeed sees a Crescent Moon mark slowly fading at his brow.

The Qi Flower has condensed, which undoubtedly means he has reached the peak of the Moon Jade Realm.

The Three Blossoms Method has already passed two stages, now it only leaves the final Divine Flower remaining, but before that...

Mana is abundant, blood Qi solidified, Constellation and Moon Jade are perfectly complete without flaw.

Today, he will advance to Sun Blaze!

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator should choose a suitable and stable environment to break through the realm, at least ensuring the process won’t be disturbed by others, avoiding failure due to external force.

But Lu Ye has no choice.

To reach this point, he even resorted to devouring Sun Blaze cultivators and Moon Jades from the All Phenomena Ocean, just to avoid any regrets; now the Qi Flower is condensed, he must advance to Sun Blaze as soon as possible.

Moreover, he doesn’t need any stable and suitable environment.

Long ago, he could have advanced to Sun Blaze at any time; what is a life-and-death barrier for ordinary cultivators, he can break through any time.

This is the benefit brought by his own solid foundation accumulation, and by reaching the pinnacle of previous realms.

Clearing his mind, no longer restraining or suppressing himself, blood Qi surges, mana roars, and the barrier shatters!

Lu Ye suddenly feels his entire body lighten.

Previously, continuously devouring the foundation of three Sun Blaze cultivators and hundreds of Moon Jades indeed polished his Magic Source to perfection, but what followed was a sense of fullness since those cultivators had their Magic Sources, blood Qi, mana, and even psyches devoured; everything.

Accumulating so much external force in one person, of course, brings a sense of fullness to his peak Moon Jade body.

In the meantime, he even vented excess power into his Blood Sea, which is the reason the Blood Sea could withstand the aggressive attacks of hundreds of Moon Jades.

Yet at this moment, when that barrier breaks, all sense of fullness vanishes instantly without a trace.

An exhilaration stronger than devouring life arises from within, unlike before, this joy doesn’t lead to indulgence but rather clears his mind.

Lu Ye feels as though he has undergone an unspeakable baptism and sublimation from inside to outside.

In this instant, his mana becomes immensely stronger, and continues increasing steadily.

Not only mana, but blood Qi as well; Lu Ye’s flesh quivers, becoming more solid and durable.

This is undoubtedly a massive change brought by the advancement in realm.

The physical strength of a Sun Blaze is so formidable, even for cultivators specializing in magic, their physical strength isn’t lacking due to this baptism during advancement.

It is an inner-to-outer transformation of self from accumulated foundation over the years.

The Divine Sea expands rapidly, the waters become more solid and deep, and the psyche experiences an enormous increase in strength.

Lu Ye can sense this transformation will continue until it slowly stabilizes, only then will his Sun Blaze realm be truly solidified!

He gently clenches his fist, realizing his strength has undergone a dramatic transformation.

He doesn’t know what level he is at now, having yet to face any other Sun Blaze cultivators.

He only knows he isn’t comparable to just any Sun Blaze Early Stage, even though he has just advanced.

Really wants to find someone to fight! A battle where each strike hits flesh, each slash draws blood!

Thinking this in his heart, he feels a yearning he can barely restrain.

Lu Ye can’t help but frown; it seems the black fruit on the Talent Tree, though not completely mature, continually influences his disposition.

This requires vigilance.

Suddenly, he feels a slight disturbance from his waist, looks down, ponders briefly, and unsheathes his saber.

"You’re awake?" he asked softly.

His saber was transformed from the Boulder Mountain Saber, swallowed by the barghest of the Combat Race, which had been in slumber all this time.

This is characteristic of the Combat Race. They are an ancient race without flesh, transforming into various weapons. Upon acknowledging a master, they fall into a deep sleep.

Only when the master dies will they awaken again, awaiting the arrival of the next master.

Lu Ye hadn’t activated the Boulder Mountain Saber, yet it seemed to respond, making him think the barghest had awoken.

However, upon sensing, the Boulder Mountain Saber remained unchanged, showing no signs of the barghest awakening.

If that’s the case, what was the unusual movement just now?

After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye suddenly made a connection and immediately infused mana into the Boulder Mountain Saber.

The Boulder Mountain Saber began to tremble slightly, causing Lu Ye’s eyebrows to rise in realization that his assumption was correct.

The Boulder Mountain Saber was about to be unsealed!

It had been unsealed once before when he ascended from Moon Jade to Star Blaze; originally, when he first got the barghest, it was at the spirit treasure level. Upon ascending to Moon Jade, it turned into a magic treasure. This was not an upgrade because the quality of the true Barghest Saber is extremely high. Once it acknowledged a master, based on Lu Ye’s current strength, it planted layer upon layer of seals, which would only be unlocked as Lu Ye’s strength increased.

Now that Lu Ye had reached Sun Blaze, the barghest’s seals were to be unlocked once more!

This brought a faint anticipation to Lu Ye’s heart. The barghest was previously at the magic treasure level. If it were to be unsealed again, could it become a supreme treasure?

Is the barghest a supreme treasure? Lu Ye didn’t know, but he was about to find out.

The infusion of mana into the Boulder Mountain Saber caused some changes, but it wasn’t enough...

Lu Ye quickly understood the reason: Sun Blaze cultivates the mind; merely infusing mana wasn’t sufficient. With this thought, he promptly activated his Mental Consciousness to envelop the Boulder Mountain Saber.

The trembling of the blade grew increasingly pronounced; within moments, a ghostly light flickered across the Boulder Mountain Saber, an extremely sharp aura permeated from the blade, flashing briefly and then vanishing.

As Lu Ye gazed at the newly unsealed Boulder Mountain Saber, he furrowed his brows slightly.

It wasn’t quite what he had imagined; the Boulder Mountain Saber didn’t seem like a supreme treasure. Compared to before, the entire saber didn’t display any significant change, except...

He flicked the blade with his finger, immediately causing a bloodstain as fresh blood flowed out.

The Boulder Mountain Saber seemed sharper and more resilient!

This makes it undoubtedly better suited for the skirmishes at the Sun Blaze Realm, reducing concerns about the saber being damaged in battle and offering more ease in slaying enemies.

If the previous Boulder Mountain Saber was of a lower magic treasure level, it now should be a top-tier magic treasure!

Although not a supreme treasure, it was slightly disappointing for Lu Ye, but it was still acceptable.

With a soft sigh, the Qi Flower condensed, and Sun Blaze was ascended, so it was time to wrap things up!

In an instant, the Blood Sea that enveloped him recoiled sharply, and Lu Ye’s figure was revealed.

Out of the five Sun Blaze governors in the All Phenomena Ocean, three were already dead; only two remained. Counting Black Cloud with Zixuan, there were three Sun Blaze to deal with!

Earlier, only Ma Bin, Luan Xiao’e, and Yann Miao held their ground against the opposing force. Now with him joining, the battle’s outcome should be different.

Oh right, there is also Hua Ci!

With her in action, no matter how many Sun Blaze arrive on this All Phenomena Ocean, it won’t be enough to hold them off!

Lu Ye was about to look towards Hua Ci, but his brows furrowed as he turned to glance aside; that direction was the commerce district of Three Worlds Island.

That place should have remained undisturbed. Even Yuan Du previously attacked Three Worlds Island but had no intention to affect that area, as the industries there involved too many forces. A spread of war to that area would offend far too many people.

But at this moment, the commerce district was filled with cries of agony and chaos from the conflict.

Countless cultivators were fighting fiercely over there, with corpses strewn across the streets.

What’s going on? Lu Ye was somewhat baffled.

Even though the upheaval at Three Worlds Island this time was extensive, the commerce district shouldn’t have been affected. Yet reality showed it was already in a shambles. Numerous shops were smashed; Lu Ye even saw cultivators raiding resources.

Turning his gaze, cultivators originally surrounding the island were nowhere to be found, including the fighting Sun Blaze cultivators.

In the area reserved for local island cultivators, he was the only one standing alone in the air!

Where is Hua Ci?

Anxiety gripped Lu Ye’s heart as he faintly realized that in the half-day he spent focused on condensing the Qi Flower and ascending to Sun Blaze, something unknown had happened here.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be this chaotic.

He looked towards the pill-making room, but Hua Ci, who should have been there, was nowhere in sight, causing Lu Ye’s expression to change as he hurriedly pulled out an audio talisman, intending to contact Hua Ci.

At that moment, a sound echoed from nearby, and a familiar aura emerged.

He quickly turned to look, only to see the waters of the All Phenomena Ocean surging, a familiar figure appeared in sight – who else could it be but Hua Ci?
