However, the vitality of the star beasts of the Moon Jade Realm was extremely strong. Even if it was heavily injured, it was not in danger of dying. Under the pain, the Demon Spider waved its claws, the sharp barbs on its claws flashing with a cold light.
Lu Ye immediately turned around and hugged the obviously weak HanCi behind him. Her soft body was in his arms, but he did not have the heart to feel it.
Behind the Demon Spider, there were layers of Holy Protection Spirit Inscriptions.
The Demon Spider waved its claws, shattering the layers of Holy Guard Spirit Patterns. Lu Ye felt a sharp pain on his back as a foot-long wound appeared. Even the flesh around the wound was gouged out by the barbs on the claws.
Using the force from behind, the two rolled to the side.
* Sha sha sha … *
The Demon Spider rushed over with its claws, looking extremely angry.
HanCi, who struggled to get up, could not help but sigh. In the end, she was powerless.
Then she saw the naked Lu Ye standing in front of her, and as far as her eyes could see, the hideous wound on his back was bleeding.
The next moment, she showed a look of astonishment, because Lu Ye suddenly took out a ball-like thing. Under the surge of spiritual power, the ball-like thing suddenly collapsed and then wrapped around his body.
In an instant, a three-foot-tall, scarlet figure appeared in her field of vision. A wild and overbearing aura filled the air. The aura was so substantial that it caused the void around the figure to distort slightly.
The tall figure covered the Demon Spider's ugliness, but also cut off its fierceness, giving HanCi an inexplicable sense of security.
"Yan Armour!" HanCi was experienced and knowledgeable, so naturally she could tell at a glance that this was a full-body armour. In the Starry Sky, although there were not many cultivators of the Yan Shi School, there were still quite a few of them. She had seen many of the best Yan Armours, but few of them could be compared to the one in front of her.
Gorgeous, wild, soaring to the sky, as if it could poke a hole in the sky.
She immediately realized that this armor was probably extraordinary because she sensed a strange aura from it, and it was the aura of an extremely formidable ferocious beast!
Lu Ye hadn't used the Dragon Emperor in a long time, mainly because he hadn't had the opportunity to do so. However, he didn't have the Pan Shan Knife, and the Sword Gourd's nine most powerful Sword Qis had been activated. Other than using the Dragon Emperor, the only thing he could think of was activating the Red Talisman.
However, the Red Talisman was precious, and Lu Ye was somewhat reluctant to use it. He could only use the Dragon Emperor.
With the Dragon Throne draped over his body, Lu Ye raised his hand and grabbed the Dragon Spine Saber in his hand. The exaggerated long saber matched the sleek design of his armor. Not far in front of him was a ferocious Star Beast pouncing toward him. Their auras intertwined and collided, rendering the small karst cave an atmosphere of either death or destruction.
Facing the huge Demon Spider, Lu Ye stepped forward and swung the Dragon Spine Saber, heavily striking the Demon Spider's back.
However, this powerful strike didn't do much to the Demon Spider, only leaving a shallow wound on its back. This guy's back didn't seem to have a strong defense, but as a Jade Moon Star Beast, its physical body was extremely strong. Lu Ye was inevitably at a disadvantage when fighting it with the power of a Constellation.
When the Dragon Spine Saber struck, the Demon Spider's claws stabbed at him like lightning. Lu Ye wanted to dodge, but he couldn't and was directly hit. Fortunately, the Dragon Emperor's material was good. This time, Lu Ye only suffered a shock, but it didn't do much damage to him.
Lu Ye felt confident. As long as the Dragon Emperor could block the Demon Spider's attack, then he would have a chance to kill this guy!
He realized that he had always underestimated the Dragon Emperor. When he obtained it, he was only in the True Lake Realm. At that time, he barely managed to activate the Dragon Emperor's attack, but he was already exhausted.
At that time, Lu Ye realized that with his strength, he couldn't unleash the full power of the Dragon Emperor.
He had used it when he was in the Divine Sea Realm, but he still couldn't support it. At that time, Lu Ye wondered if he could only withstand the pressure of using the Dragon Emperor after reaching the Constellation Realm.
But now, he was already in the late Constellation Realm. When he used the Dragon Emperor, the consumption was still terrifying. He couldn't last long. The magic of this Crescent Armor was beyond his imagination.
In the cave, Lu Ye and the Demon Spider were locked in a fierce battle.
Half-ci leaned weakly against the cave wall, dumbfounded.
She had never imagined that a constellation would be able to contend against Yue Yao in such a manner. Admittedly, this constellation was currently borrowing the power of a powerful armor. At the same time, the Yue Yao star beast was heavily injured. However, if the constellation's foundation was not strong enough, no matter how much external power it borrowed, no matter how heavily injured its enemy was, it would still be impossible for it to be a match for the constellation.
However, under her observation, the battle on the other side was actually in a state of being evenly matched.
Previously, when Peerless Island was attacked, she knew that Li Taibai was very strong. But she never thought that Li Taibai was strong to this extent.
This was beyond the Constellation Realm's capabilities.
As time passed, Lu Ye's side slowly gained the upper hand. It wasn't that Yue Yao wasn't strong enough, but that the Demon Spider was seriously injured.
Disregarding the irreparable damage to Yue Yao from having her Spiritual Energy incinerated, just Half Ci's attack, Lu Ye's nine Sword Qi, and the short arrow were enough to make her suffer. To Yue Yao, this kind of injury wasn't fatal, but it greatly affected her ability to display her strength.
At this point in the fierce battle, the Demon Spider also felt that things were not good. Although it didn't have much intelligence, it had the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It repeatedly tried to escape, but how could Lu Ye, who had the upper hand, give it the chance? He waved his saber, enveloping the Demon Spider in his saber momentum.
The saber momentum was endless. It was the essence of the Myriad Tidal Waves. Coupled with the might of the Dragon Emperor, it was enough for Lu Ye, as a Constellation Realm Cultivator, to contend with a greatly weakened Jade Moon Star Beast.
After fighting for a long time, Lu Ye finally found a good opportunity. The Dragon Spine Saber stabbed into the Demon Spider's body through its mouth, and the saber directly pierced through the back of the Demon Spider's head.
The Demon Spider's claws constantly jabbed at Lu Ye, causing his body to shake violently, but he didn't take a single step back. Instead, he poured his strength into the Dragon Spine Saber, causing the blade to ignite with raging flames.
Gradually, the Demon Spider's resistance weakened until it completely subsided.
Only then did Lu Ye pull out the Dragon Spine Saber and take a few steps back. Blood dripped from the saber.
Lu Ye released his Divine Sense and confirmed that the Demon was dead. Only then did Lu Ye let out a long sigh of relief. He untied the Dragon Throne and put away the Dragon Spine Saber. Then, his body wobbled for a while before he slowly sat down.
His face was pale, and there was a hole in his chest. It was the Demon Spider's first sneak attack. Fortunately, his heart wasn't injured. Otherwise, even if he didn't die, Lu Ye's strength would have been greatly reduced, and he wouldn't have been able to continue fighting. On his back, there was a bone-deep wound.
In addition, his whole body was in unbearable pain and extremely weak.
First, it was the aftereffect of using the Dragon Emperor. Once this thing was brought out, it would constantly consume and devour his foundation at a terrifying speed. Second, he was also injured by the Demon Spider's counterattack. Although the Dragon Emperor's defense was strong, the power of the Demon Spider's counterattack could not be resolved.
At this moment, Lu Ye felt that his whole body was falling apart.
Looking up at BanCi, their eyes met, and they were speechless.
Lu Ye took out a healing pill, stuffed it into his mouth, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.
Seeing that he wouldn't die for a while, BanCi was relieved and began to recover.
Time passed. During this time, Lu Ye felt that there was some movement on BanCi's side, but he ignored it. He was seriously injured in this battle. Even if he was in the late Constellation Realm, it would take a few days to recover.
A few days later, when Lu Ye was full of energy again, he opened his eyes, but BanCi had already disappeared.
When the woman left, Lu Ye noticed it, but he didn't stop her. After what happened before, Lu Ye also didn't want to face her.
It didn't seem like a bad idea to part ways like this.
However, BanCi obviously didn't achieve her goal this time, because she didn't reach the top of the stairs. In the current situation, it was not suitable for her to continue. Perhaps she would come again in the future. After all, advancing to the Yue Yao Realm wasn't something that could be done in a short time.
Lu Ye lowered his head to check his injuries. He had basically recovered. He took out a new set of clothes and put them on. Then, he walked to the entrance of the cave and retrieved the Pan Shan Saber.
When the Demon Spider was still alive, the Pan Shan Saber was tightly wrapped in spider silk. Now that the Demon Spider was dead, the spider silk seemed to have lost its original power and was easily torn apart.
Hanging the Pan Shan Saber at his waist, Lu Ye came to the Demon Spider's corpse.
The Demon Beasts in the Domain had Yao Cores, while the Star Beasts in the Starry Sky had Crystal Cores. They were essentially the same thing. Many Star Beasts' Crystal Cores were useful, especially the Star Beasts of the Yue Yao Realm. They were worth some money.
Lu Ye searched for a while and took the Crystal Core out of the Demon Spider's body. Although the Demon Spider was huge, its Crystal Core was only the size of a fist.
Lu Ye looked up at the stone cauldron at the top of the stairs. Although he knew it was impossible, he still couldn't help but want to try.
This thing was a treasure. If he could take it away, it would be convenient for someone around him to advance to the Yue Yao Realm in the future.
He stepped up the stairs. Originally, he was vigilant because when he saw BanCi move, she seemed to be under a lot of pressure.
But when he went up, he didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure.
He easily reached the eighty or so steps. This was where BanCi had stopped before. If he went up, he would be shrouded in the mist that flowed out of the stone cauldron.
When Lu Ye took another step, he suddenly felt a huge pressure on his body. He couldn't help but lower his body. Hurriedly, he circulated the Spirit Power in his body to avoid the fate of falling.
The mist on the stairs seemed to be attracted, gathering towards Lu Ye and entering his body.
Lu Ye silently sensed for a moment and was slightly surprised. Because the moment the mist rushed into his body, he felt a strange force acting on his Spirit Power and madly condensing it.
