Star Abyss's aura had an extremely huge influence on the strength of Star Abyss' guests. This was a piece of information recorded in the jade slip.
Especially those Star Abyss guests who had not cast their dao foundation. If they broke away from the Star Abyss's aura's envelopment, the strength they could display would become no different from ordinary cultivators in a very short time.
The strength of the three Star Abyss guests that appeared on the Wanxiang Sea was still fresh in Lu Ye's memory. Especially that bull demon. He and Jiuyan were no match for him even when they joined hands, but the other party could even resist the might of a treasure. That was too exaggerated.
But following the Constellation Hall's projection sealing the Star Abyss Gate, the bull demon and the other two Star Abyss guests' powerful strength rapidly weakened … At that time, Lu Ye was not clear what was going on, but now he understood.
The three of them from Star Abyss had not cast their dao foundation.
The Star Abyss Gate was sealed by the Constellation Hall's projection, so it rapidly weakened.
Relatively speaking, those Star Abyss guests who cast their dao foundation and entered the dao realm did not rely so much on the Star Abyss's aura. Even if they left the range of the Star Abyss's aura, they could still be powerful for a period of time and would not weaken immediately.
This was also the fundamental reason why this starry sky suffered great losses in the first hundred years. At that time, many Star Abyss guests who entered the dao realm fled, bringing damage to various parts of the starry sky. The cultivators of this starry sky completely relied on human wave tactics to slowly grind them to death.
The reason why the Star Abyss guests' strength had a strong dependence on the Star Abyss's aura was entirely because of a kind of mysterious power called dao energy.
This kind of mysterious power to Star Abyss was like the spiritual energy in the domain, omnipresent. As long as Star Abyss cultivators' cultivation reached the level of sunlight, they could refine this kind of power into the body during cultivation. When facing enemies, the power was unlimited.
At that time, the bull demon's performance was so powerful because he used dao energy. So even if Jiuyan's cultivation was a level higher than his, she was still not his match.
But following the Constellation Hall's power to seal the Star Abyss Gate, the bull demon lost his connection with the Star Abyss. This kind of temporary dao energy stored in the corporeal body became a rootless tree, immediately beaten back to its original form.
Lu Ye secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, the bull demon did not enter the dao realm. Otherwise, even with the Constellation Hall's power, the battle that day would not have ended so easily.
To a Supervoid Cultivator, entering the Dao Realm and not entering the Dao Realm were two completely different kinds of existences. To the Star Abyss Stranger, it was the same logic.
As this information flashed through Lu Ye's mind, he transmitted a message to Jiuyan. "Senior Sister, this is our first time here. Let's not delve too deep!"
Because of the dependence of the Star Abyss Outsiders on the Star Abyss Aura, it led to this large battlefield. The closer to the periphery, the weaker the enemy's strength would be. This was because those Star Abyss Outsiders with relatively stronger strength were all unwilling to stay in the periphery. The thinner the Star Abyss Aura, the more uncomfortable they would be.
Although this matter was not absolute, no one could guarantee that a powerful Star Abyss Stranger would suddenly run to the outskirts and wander around, but in the end, this gave the Supervoid Cultivators an opportunity to take advantage of.
For cultivators at Jiu Yan's level, as long as they stayed in a place with the aura of the Star Abyss, they would have a chance to forge their own dao foundation. In the past few hundred years, many cultivators had relied on this method to enter the Dao Realm. Only then would they have the capital and capital to fight against their enemies.
Of course, Lu Ye hoped that Jiuyan could forge her Daoist foundation in the safest way.
As for himself, although he wanted to figure out what the so-called Dao Energy was, his cultivation was not enough, so he had no hope of doing so.
The few jade slips given by the Fort Master clearly mentioned that unless a Supervoid Cultivator forged their Daoist foundation and entered the Dao Realm, they would not be able to touch upon Dao Energy. This was different from the Star Abyss Outsiders. As long as the Star Abyss Outsiders' cultivation reached the level of sunshine, they would have this qualification.
The reason was probably because the Star Abyss Outsiders were born and grew up in the Star Abyss. The essence of their corporeal body was somewhat different from that of Supervoid Cultivators, and they could better accommodate the existence of Dao Energy.
Jiuyan naturally understood what Lu Ye meant. She indeed could not wait to forge her Dao Foundation, but she had never been a reckless person. She immediately nodded. "Okay!"
Continuing forward, they did not see the figures of other cultivators. Obviously, because the battlefield was too large, the cultivators of this galaxy were scattered.
Because the two were cautious, their speed was not fast, but the deeper they went into the battlefield, the thicker the aura of the Star Abyss around them.
Although this aura could not be seen or touched, it could still be felt. The most intuitive feeling was that the range of Lu Ye's Divine Sense probing was much smaller than before.
Suddenly, a black mass appeared in front of them. Lu Ye and Jiuyan sensed it almost at the same time.
Looking up, Jiuyan immediately recognized what it was. "A swarm of Star Abyss Insects!"
Lu Ye immediately pulled her towards a floating continent not far away. Soon, they arrived. With a sweep of their Divine Sense, they found a secluded place to hide. Then, they set up a formation to conceal themselves and restrain their aura.
The swarm of Star Abyss Insects did not have much to do with the Insect Race. They were not sentient lifeforms. If one had to classify them, they were more like Star Beasts.
The swarm of Star Abyss Insects came in various forms, with some strong and some weak. They could be seen everywhere in the Star Abyss Battlefield. It seemed that there were many of these insects in the Star Abyss.
The swarm that appeared in this place shouldn't be too strong, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Lu Ye didn't dare act rashly before scouting out the situation. If this swarm had entered the Dao Realm, he and Jiuyan would not be able to fight back.
That split second of probing just now seemed to have attracted the swarm's attention. Not long after Lu Ye and Jiuyan had hidden themselves, the swarm followed their tracks and arrived near the floating continent.
Upon closer inspection, Lu Ye discovered that the insects in this swarm looked like fist-sized mosquitoes. However, they were blood-red all over and looked extremely strange.
At the center of the swarm was an especially large individual that was almost the size of a baby. This was clearly the king of the swarm.
They circled around in all directions, but they never found it.
This was the weakness of the swarm. No matter how strong they were, they had no intelligence. As long as they hid well, there would be no problem.
Lu Ye cautiously probed for a bit before exchanging a glance with Jiuyan.
The next moment, the two jumped out of their hiding places and circulated their magic power to cut off the swarm from the left and right.
A moment later, the swarm was almost completely wiped out. Only the king was still fighting like a cornered beast.
The king's aura was only at the early Sunshine realm. Logically speaking, Lu Ye and Jiuyan should be able to kill such an existence easily.
But in reality, the king had withstood three fierce attacks from the two without suffering a single injury!
It undoubtedly possessed Dao Force. It was that strange Dao Force that had blocked Lu Ye and Jiuyan's attacks.
However, it was only an early Sunshine stage Insect King, so it didn't have much Dao energy stored in its body. Three times seemed to be its limit, and its Dao energy was completely depleted. As Lu Ye's Mountain Blade slashed down, the originally indestructible Insect King was cut in half like a piece of paper.
Lu Ye sheathed his blade and raised his brows. "It's about the same as what was recorded in the jade slip."
Jiuyan nodded. "Indeed."
This was also why the two of them had come out with Heart's Telepathy just now. They wanted to personally verify the accuracy of the information recorded in the jade slip.
From the looks of it, after hundreds of years of fighting, this place already had a very deep understanding of the Star Abyss Stranger.
"Let's continue," Jiuyan said and led the way into the depths of the battlefield.
The stronger the Star Abyss Stranger's aura was, the more beneficial it would be for her to forge her Dao Foundation. But on the other hand, it was also more dangerous. Thus, she had to choose a suitable location.
Along the way, they encountered a few more fights. Except for a few who weren't strong enough, the rest were all at the early Sunshine realm.
Lu Ye and Jiuyan couldn't do anything to these enemies before they exhausted their Dao Force. But once they exhausted their Dao Force, they could easily kill them.
A few days later, a fierce battle came to an end.
Lu Ye looked down at the wound on his waist and abdomen. It wasn't a big deal. He looked up at Jiuyan and asked, "Are you alright?"
Jiuyan shook her head slowly. She stared at the enemy lying in a pool of blood not far away and said, "Let's do it here."
The enemy they encountered this time was at the middle Sunshine realm. It was extremely fast. Otherwise, Lu Ye wouldn't have been injured. Fortunately, it was only a flesh wound.
It was completely different from the early Sunshine realm cultivators they encountered before. This enemy fought with them for a whole incense stick's worth of time before his Dao Force was exhausted.
Based on the situation and the records in the jade slip, the two of them wouldn't be able to defeat an enemy at the late Sunshine realm. The late Sunshine realm was at the level of the bull demon.
Thus, this place was basically the limit of where the two of them could go.
There was a small desolate star nearby. The two of them went up and found a secluded spot. Jiuyan sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.
Lu Ye didn't rest. He started to set up various formations around them.
After working for two days, he finally took a break.
Lu Ye also sat down not far from Jiuyan.
With the formation as a warning, he didn't have to worry too much. If anything broke into the range of the formation, he would be able to detect it immediately.
While Jiuyan was cultivating, he had nothing to do. He couldn't help but check on the Talent Tree. After the Talent Tree turned into a fire seed, it still hadn't finished its transformation. It had been too long.
But this time, Lu Ye found that the fire seed seemed to have changed a lot. In the blazing fire, the small sapling had become much clearer.
This was undoubtedly good news. Lu Ye felt that the Talent Tree's transformation might not be far away.
He secretly looked forward to it.
Lu Ye calmed his mind and focused. Using the most ancient method, he absorbed the spiritual energy around him and meditated.
Although the information recorded in the jade slip was correct, he still couldn't help but want to try it. Through this method, he wanted to see if he could obtain the so-called Dao Force!
His cultivation aptitude wasn't bad. It could even be said that it was excellent. However, because he had always cultivated with the help of the Talent Tree, he had never used this method.
As he breathed, the thin spiritual energy around him flowed into his body. Through the conversion of his spiritual source, it turned into Dao Force. (End of Chapter)
