Somewhere in the Yin Yang Great Millstone, the white-haired old man of the Divine Wind Pirate Gang stared into the depths with a haggard face. His withered face was filled with anger and unwillingness.
Half a year ago, when he had settled down in a low-level domain, he had inadvertently encountered a strange matter. He had clearly sensed that a Constellation cultivator had also come to this low-level domain, but for some reason, that Constellation cultivator had suddenly disappeared.
After a careful investigation, he faintly felt that this low-level domain was likely hiding some secrets. In the Desolate Star Domain, such a domain, even if it was the lowest level, was somewhat special, especially since it was located in the outer area of the Yin Yang Great Millstone.
He was considered an experienced and knowledgeable person. He had once heard about the Flower Race and the World King Flower during an exchange with a certain Rizhao. As a result, he immediately came to some conclusions.
Excited, he secretly left the low-level domain and gathered his men to kill his way back.
He couldn't be sure whether there was a World King Flower in that domain before he destroyed it, but there were some possibilities.
It was just a low-level domain, and a domain in the Desolate Star Domain. If it was destroyed, then so be it. No one would find trouble with him because of this.
In the end, there really was a World King Flower hidden in that domain!
And this treasure that should have belonged to him had somehow been taken away by a foreign advanced Constellation cultivator. He was furious and ordered his subordinates to give chase, but the result was disastrous.
Even he himself couldn't find anything until the advanced Constellation cultivator fled into the Yin Yang Great Millstone!
He originally thought that no matter what strange escape methods that Constellation cultivator had, he wouldn't be able to escape from his palm. Who would have thought that Constellation cultivator had refined a Alpha Origin spirit flower and wouldn't be suppressed by the Yin Yang Great Millstone's special environment.
He had lost him!
The old man felt as if a knife was being twisted in his heart.
The value of a World King Flower was immeasurable. As long as the news spread, large domains and even top domains would rush like ducks. With this flower, he would have endless wealth that he couldn't squander for several lifetimes.
In the end, his painstaking planning had ended up benefiting someone else.
He faintly knew that the World King Flower couldn't be recovered. Since he had already lost track of Constellation cultivator, he could forget about finding him again. Constellation cultivator could escape in another direction.
But how could he be willing to leave just like that?
He still had a trace of unrealistic expectations. What if the kid got lost inside and ran out from this position?
It was precisely because of this trace of hope that he hadn't left and had been waiting here anxiously …
But a month of waiting had already made him restless.
However, at this moment, a figure vaguely appeared in front of him. The old man's heart skipped a beat. He widened his bloodshot eyes and looked in that direction.
Due to the omnipresent grinding force, the space within the Yin Yang Millstone was distorted, so the old man couldn't see who it was.
However, as the other party got closer and closer, the figure became clearer and clearer. The old man's emotions slowly grew agitated.
It's him! It was that brat!
He actually walked out of that position.
The old man almost threw his head back and laughed. He secretly made up his mind that this time, he couldn't let the other party escape no matter what. This was definitely the closest he had ever been to obtaining the World King Flower.
His magic power surged out, and invisible ripples spread out from his old body. In order to capture Lu Ye, the white-haired old man didn't hesitate at all. He immediately activated a secret technique, burning his own vitality as the price to forcibly increase his strength.
In this position, he was suppressed by the Yin Yang Millstone's environment. With his late-stage Moon Jade cultivation base, he could only display the strength of an early-stage Moon Jade cultivator.
However, with the help of this secret technique, he could display strength infinitely close to that of a mid-stage Moon Jade cultivator.
In an instant, the blood Qi in the old man's body rippled, and his magic power surged. A string of pearl-like treasures appeared in the old man's hand. As his magic power surged, the old man shouted, "Go!"
The pearls in his hand scattered, turning into five blazing suns. Four of them sealed off the surrounding area, while the fifth shot straight towards Lu Ye.
The scorching aura was so hot that even the space around it was distorted.
In the distance, Lu Ye, who was slowly approaching, raised his eyebrows.
A magic cultivator!
As a weapon cultivator, he liked magic cultivators the most because they were very brittle. They weren't like those meat barbarians, whose bodies were as hard as copper skin and iron bones. When the Mountain Plate Saber slashed at them, he had to endure a powerful backlash.
These five blazing suns were clearly the manifestation of one of his opponent's magic treasures.
One had to admit, as expected of a late-stage Moon Jade cultivator. Even though she could only display the strength of an early-stage Moon Jade cultivator, her methods were still incomparable to those of a newly-advanced Moon Jade.
Judging from the might of this magic treasure, it was probably at least a six-star treasure.
As expected of the leader of a pirate gang. Her status was completely incomparable to that of Old Tang's Moon Jade.
If it had been before, the only thing Lu Ye could have done in the face of such an attack would have been to evade.
However, a month ago, this attack was incomparably ferocious to him. Now … it seemed to be just that?
He stared at the giant blazing suns attacking him and raised his hand to press down on the Mountain Plate Saber.
When the old man saw this, he couldn't help but be startled. Lu Ye had been running away ever since he came into contact with him. He didn't even have the courage to face him head-on. After all, the difference in strength between them was too great.
But what was going on now? Had this brat lost his mind? Not only did he not run away in the face of his attack, he didn't even try to dodge.
However, this undoubtedly delighted the old man even more. As long as he killed Lu Ye, the World King Flower would reappear. At that time, he would be able to easily collect it. The only thing that worried him was that the World King Flower's appearance might attract Moon Jade's attention.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the giant blazing suns had already swallowed Lu Ye's figure.
The old man stared unblinkingly, as if he could already see the World King Flower's appearance. He couldn't be any more excited.
A late-stage Star Constellation cultivator couldn't possibly survive such an attack.
However, the World King Flower didn't appear. Only a faint flash of saber light could be seen.
The old man couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He instinctively sensed that something was wrong. Although his cultivation was greatly suppressed, he still had Moon Jade's eyesight and battle experience. As a galactic pirate who plundered everywhere, he had experienced countless battles of various sizes in his life.
Almost at the same time that the saber light appeared, the old man's body instinctively jumped back.
However, he was still a step too late. A figure had appeared in front of him at some point in time. It was the enemy who should've been blasted to smithereens by the might of his transcendent artifact.
This extremely young-looking brat was currently crouching slightly. His head was also slightly lowered. The hair in front of his forehead had turned into a shadow, blocking his gaze. However, the old man could feel the other party's cold eyes staring at him. He looked like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.
The old man's eyes suddenly widened. Without thinking, he hurriedly circulated his transcendence energy to protect himself. At the same time, the crystal-like pendant hanging around his neck shattered, quickly turning into a light screen that enveloped him.
The saber light flashed again. The old man was horrified. His body flew backward under the impact of a tremendous force.
As his figure flew out, the light screen that was protecting him also burst like a bubble. The old man even felt that his protective mana had been cut open!
It was only at this moment that he clearly sensed the energy fluctuations coming from Lu Ye's body.
It was no longer Star Constellation's spiritual power, but Moon Jade's transcendence energy!
"Moon Jade!"
This brat... had actually advanced to Moon Jade in the Yin Yang Great Millstone!
Although it was hard to believe, the truth was right in front of his eyes.
Moreover, what was with such a terrifying slash? Even if Lu Ye had really advanced to Moon Jade, he shouldn't have possessed such shocking strength.
The protective barrier formed by his transcendent artifact and his own transcendence energy should've been able to easily break through, let alone an early-stage Moon Jade. Even an intermediate-stage Moon Jade wouldn't have been able to do so. However, Lu Ye had only lightly slashed his saber...
Even though they were both at the early-stage Moon Jade, the old man felt that Lu Ye had the ability to casually kill him.
Was this the potential of a cultivator who had stood out in the battle for the Spirit Sea on the Reincarnation Tree and refined the Alpha Origin Spirit Light?
He had long heard that such cultivators would all possess terrifying strength when they matured. However, he had never had the chance to see one. Did he finally get to see one? But this... was not what he wanted.
The old man's mind raced as he panicked.
The four blazing suns that had originally sealed off the area swiftly moved under his control. They blasted towards Lu Ye's location at an incredible speed, instantly enveloping Lu Ye.
Dazzling light soared into the sky as if the sun had really exploded. The surrounding space seemed to be on the verge of melting.
What followed was the resounding hum of a saber. Saber light flashed within the four suns, seemingly slicing apart space itself.
The suns were silently destroyed one after another, and a figure charged out from within, completely unharmed. In a single leap, he was already not far from the old man.
When Lu Ye was in the Constellation Mansion, using the Vertical Sweep Technique had placed a huge burden on his body. Hence, he couldn't maintain this secret technique for too long.
Now that he was in the Constellation Mansion and his physique had been greatly strengthened, Lu Ye finally felt that the burden on his body wasn't as great.
With his current foundation, he could easily maintain this technique for a day and a night. Of course, it was hard to say if he could maintain it for any longer.
The old man's soul almost left his body. He never imagined that Lu Ye would still be able to escape unscathed. He was still retreating. Although he was fast, he couldn't outrun Lu Ye's Pan Shan Saber.
Lu Ye hadn't even used the Pan Shan Saber, nor had he activated the Pan Shan Saber's power. He had only relied on a simple swing.
The saber was dyed red with blood and splattered in all directions.
The old man's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. A bone-deep wound had already appeared on his abdomen. As he spat out blood, the blood seemed to ignite, turning into a layer of blood-red light that enveloped his entire body. Then, he fled into the distance without looking back.
