Lu Ye had always wanted the Pan Mountain Saber to be thick enough for him to kill. He didn't care about its sharpness at all because he had spirit marks to support it.
In an environment like the Nine Provinces, the Pan Mountain Saber was able to keep up with his cultivation progress after each upgrade, satisfying his need to kill.
But things were different in space, especially after encountering some powerful enemies. Lu Ye found that the Pan Mountain Saber wasn't sharp enough to deal effective damage to his enemies. This was especially true for people with strong physiques. Even if he blessed the Pan Mountain Saber with a divine edge, it still didn't perform well.
The battle with Xue Hao of the Blood Clan was the best example.
It wasn't that Lu Ye had high standards, but that cultivators couldn't always face enemies in the same realm as them. In outer space, there was bound to be enemies stronger than them. With Lu Ye's current strength, the Pan Mountain Saber and the Divine Edge were more than enough to deal with enemies in the same realm.
However, Lu Ye's target wasn't the Constellations, but Yue Yao.
The Pan Mountain Saber was already at the peak of the Spirit Treasure level. There was no room for improvement unless it was upgraded to a Dharma treasure. However, if it was upgraded to a Dharma treasure, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to activate its power with just his spirit power.
Fang's submission came at the right time.
Compared to before, the new Pan Mountain Saber didn't seem to have changed at all. However, it was much sharper!
Even when Lu Ye enhanced it with the Divine Edge Spirit Mark, it wasn't as sharp as the Pan Mountain Saber.
Now that it was enhanced with the Divine Edge, its sharpness was even higher.
It could be seen from the Insectoid Constellation that the Insectoids weren't as strong as the Blood Clan in terms of physique. However, the Insectoids were stronger than the Blood Clan in terms of physical defense. This was because every Insectoid had an extremely hard shell. Even if they transformed into Constellations and took human form, the shell would still cover the surface of their bodies, forming a natural defense.
However, even such a hard shell couldn't withstand a single slash from the new Pan Mountain Saber. The late-stage Constellation Insectoid's shell was especially strong. Lu Ye felt that if the Pan Mountain Saber was enhanced with the Divine Edge, he wouldn't be able to break through it even if he attacked it five times. Now, however, he only needed one slash to kill it.
The new Pan Mountain Blade that Liao transformed into was a world of difference in sharpness compared to the previous one.
This was Lu Ye's first battle after subduing Chi. He was very satisfied with the new Mountain Saber's performance.
That day when he fought with Xue Hao, if he had this Pan Shan Blade in his hand, perhaps Li Shang would not have needed to start a soul battle to kill him.
Li Shang felt that Lu Ye's strength had greatly increased because of this. Under the same blade attack, Lu Ye could now cause much more damage than before.
The Star Boat continued forward, and didn't run into any more Insectoids.
However, both Li Shang and Lu Ye could feel that the insectoids had not given up yet. This was only the calm before the storm. Perhaps there was some unknown danger waiting for them ahead.
Or perhaps, Yue Yao or even Rizhao's insectoid experts had chased after them.
Ten days later, the Star Boat, which was flying forward at a high speed, suddenly felt as if it had bumped into an invisible wall, and was instantly met with great resistance.
The Star Boat shook violently, as if it had sunk into a swamp. Even though it was still moving forward, its speed was clearly slowing down.
Under the great inertia, Lu Ye's body was pushed forward uncontrollably. Yaya and Li Shang, who were beside him, were also pushed forward.
Lu Ye reacted quickly and scooped Yaya into his arms. Li Shang was even more decisive as he pounced on Lu Ye, instantly using the Soul-Binding Secret Technique.
In an instant, Lu Ye felt that his strength had been greatly improved. His five senses became sharper, his thoughts faster, and even the flow of his spiritual energy became faster.
The speed of the Star Boat became even slower, and in less than three breaths of time, it went from a high speed to a standstill. In the next moment, attacks that blotted out the sky and covered the earth shot towards it from all directions.
Lu Ye jumped out of the Star Boat and dodged the attacks. After he steadied himself, he finally saw the situation in front of him clearly.
There were many large and small meteorites in the vicinity. There were countless meteorites like this in the starry sky.
However, at this moment, the figures of many Star Mansions of the Insectoids could be seen behind these meteorites. They had been lying in ambush here, waiting for Lu Ye to pass by so that they could attack him.
On one of the huge meteorites, there was a furry spider. The spider was as big as a city. It stood on the meteorite, almost occupying the entire meteorite.
However, the spider's aura wasn't very strong. At most, it was at the late stage of the Star Mansions. Lu Ye was slightly surprised, because although the spider looked like an insectoid, it wasn't actually an insectoid, but a star beast.
It was probably a star beast tamed by the insectoids.
Numerous spider webs that couldn't be seen with the naked eye could be seen crisscrossing in the area where the spider was.
Lu Ye looked at his Star Boat again, and only then did he see clearly what was stopping his Star Boat. It was a huge spiderweb with the asteroids in the surroundings as its nodes.
If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't be able to see it. Since the Star Boat was sailing at a high speed, neither Lu Ye nor Li Shang noticed it. As soon as they crashed into it, they were trapped by the spider web.
It had Yue Yao's aura.
Lu Ye sized it up coldly and found that it was probably an early stage Yue Yao.
At this moment, Yue Yao was also staring at Lu Ye with cold eyes. To the insectoids, there was nothing in the universe that they couldn't kill. Apart from those who were on good terms with the Blood Race, all other races were their enemies.
Not to mention that Lu Ye had killed many insectoids along the way.
He knew that Lu Ye was only at the late stage of the Star Mansions. The only reason he could reach this place was because of his Star Boat. Now that his Star Boat was blocked, he couldn't do anything else.
At this moment, he stared at Lu Ye and waved his hand indifferently. "Kill him!"
As for Lu Ye's background and what he wanted to do, he couldn't be bothered to ask.
At his command, many insectoid Star Mansions immediately pounced on Lu Ye.
In Lu Ye's arms, Yaya looked angry and showed signs of wanting to attack. However, before she could, Lu Ye slapped her head and said indifferently, "Calm down!"
An early stage Yue Yao wasn't worth exposing Yaya.
Moreover, in this situation, Lu Ye wanted to test out the results of his recent cultivation.
With a raise of his hand, a dozen or so imperial weapons shot out in all directions, each of them powerful.
However, these imperial weapons didn't have much effect. Apart from a few that injured a few insectoid Star Mansions, the rest were all dodged.
Lu Ye held Yaya in one hand and wielded his blade in the other. Under the enhancement of Li Shang's Soul Possession, a faint blood-red color appeared on the surface of his body.
The blood-red light shot out in an extremely abnormal trajectory, almost instantly breaking out of the insectoid Star Mansions' encirclement. The insectoid Star Mansions didn't even have time to react before one of them let out a cry of shock. Then, blood spurted out, and his body was cut in half.
The Yue Yao insectoid who had been watching coldly from the side narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Ye's figure in astonishment. Even he hadn't been able to grasp Lu Ye's movements in that instant.
Taking a closer look, he saw Lu Ye's figure moving quickly again. What happened next made the Yue Yao insectoid unable to believe his eyes.
The human Star Mansions flitted back and forth across the vast expanse of the starry sky. His figure flickered in and out of existence like a ghost. Every time he appeared, an insectoid Star Mansions were bound to suffer. They were either decapitated and killed or cut in half at the waist, wailing in pain.
Whether it was early stage, middle stage, or late stage Star Mansions, none of the insectoids targeted by him could withstand a single blow from his blade. Even the insectoid carapace that they were so proud of could not withstand his killing power.
The encirclement that the insectoids had been preparing for many days didn't even seem to exist to him. He could easily find an opening and kill his way out of the encirclement. Before the insectoid Star Mansions could react, he could come back and kill his way through the encirclement.
The Yue Yao insectoid was horrified as he watched. To him, this did not seem like a bloody massacre. It was more like the blooming of an art. Even as an enemy, the Yue Yao insectoid had to admit that this human Star Mansions' killing methods were extremely pleasing to the eye.
However, it was precisely this pleasing scene that caused the life force of the insectoids to wither away. It made him shudder from the bottom of his heart.
While the Yue Yao insectoid Star Mansions were shocked, Lu Ye was elated.
He had only comprehended Qing Li's Baring Fangs from Chi's inheritance so far. He had yet to comprehend the essence of Yan Xi's Leaping Technique, so he had not passed Yan Xi's test.
Even so, he could feel the power of this Leaping Technique during the battle.
It was useful, too useful!
If it was in the past, facing such an encirclement, he would have no other way to deal with it other than to kill his way out. However, at this moment, with his immature Leaping Technique, the insectoid Star Mansions could not fight back at all. Just like when he first fought Yan Xi, the insectoids could not even see his figure.
Although he had yet to comprehend the essence of the Leaping Technique, Lu Ye could use the Imperial Equipment that he had sent out beforehand to activate the void spirit patterns to move around.
Therefore, compared to Yan Xi's Leaping Technique, which was like flowing water, Lu Ye's Leaping Technique was more ghostly.
When he first saw Yan Xi's Leaping Technique, Lu Ye guessed that it was a technique used to deal with encirclements. Now that he tried it out, it was indeed effective.
"Destroy those Imperial Equipment!" The Yue Yao insectoid finally saw some clues. When Lu Ye first attacked, he did not pay much attention to the Imperial Equipment that he had sent out. They were already in the galaxy, so who would play with Imperial Equipment? Now, he knew that those Imperial Equipment were a hidden technique.
He gave the order and attacked at the same time, sending the Imperial Equipment flying or destroying them. Then, he rushed into the battlefield and pounced on Lu Ye.
He originally thought that he would not need to make a move this time, but who knew that he had no choice but to make a move. Although there were many insectoids on his side, they could not withstand the onslaught of the enemy. If this continued, they would all be wiped out.
