The battles between the Star Abyss' guests would often end with one side being devoured by the other. It seemed that through this method, the winner could obtain some unknown benefits!
As for what kind of benefits it was, even the Thunder Battle Fort did not know. However, there was speculation in the past that those who died in battle had not exhausted their Dao energy, and the winner could use this method to recover their Dao energy …
However, after some cultivators from the Thunder Battle Fort tried to do this, they realized that it was useless. Instead, it disgusted them.
Now that the insectoid had won, it opened its ferocious mouth and bit off the head of its opponent's corpse. As it chewed, blood flowed from the corner of its mouth, and its long and narrow compound eyes shone with a cold light.
Jiu Yan's Fa Li surged fiercely. She raised her hand and grabbed at the void. A silver spear appeared in her hand. She turned into a stream of light and attacked the insect.
Before she arrived, the spear was like a waterfall, covering the void in front of her!
Of course, she knew that she was no match for this insect. Judging from the aftermath just now, the insect's strength was even stronger than the bull demon that appeared on the Ten Thousand Phenomenon Sea.
If it was a normal encounter, she would not have any chance of survival.
But right now, it was an opportunity. Because this insect had just fought a life and death battle with an enemy. Even though he killed the other Star Abyss alien, he himself also suffered injuries that were not light. Most importantly, that degree of intense battle would definitely have an extremely great consumption on his Dao power. Otherwise, his appearance would not be so wretched.
It was impossible to escape, so she could only fight to the death. There might be a chance of survival.
The insect, who was eating heartily, suddenly opened his mouth and roared silently. Layers of ripples visible to the naked eye spread and covered Jiu Yan's body.
When Jiu Yan fell into the ripples, she immediately felt as if she had broken into an invisible barrier. Her speed was greatly reduced, and even the power of her spear became much weaker.
She clenched her teeth and took a deep breath. She madly urged her Fa Li, and even her Soul Power erupted fiercely at this moment.
In an instant, she finally broke through the barrier in front of her. Her spear pierced towards the insect's open mouth.
However, this attack did not work. Just as this attack was about to succeed, the insect suddenly threw away the spoils in his hand and punched the tip of the spear!
Jiu Yan's figure suddenly stopped. She almost couldn't hold her magic treasure spear. Her hands burned with pain and she was sent flying.
The insectoids were about to give chase when they suddenly turned to look at Lu Ye.
At this moment, Lu Ye's face was solemn. He took out his sword gourd, opened it, and aimed it at the insectoids. He channeled his mana, and a sword light shot out from the gourd like lightning.
If Jiu Yan was aware of this, Lu Ye was naturally aware of it as well. Hence, the moment Jiu Yan made her move, Lu Ye had already made his preparations.
If they wanted to live today, it was unrealistic to escape immediately. The only way was for the two of them to work together and fight against the other party. They could either find an opportunity to kill the other party or find an opportunity to escape.
"It's a treasure!" His normal eyes looked at the sword gourd with a greedy expression, as if he had seen some great treasure.
The sword light attacked, and the insectoids did not dare to be careless. He did not care about Lu Ye and Jiu Yan because he could sense that the two of them did not have Dao Energy. They were just ordinary Starry Sky cultivators. Such cultivators, no matter how strong they were, were like ants in front of him.
But treasures were different. The power of treasures could cause him harm.
Moreover, once the power of treasures was activated, if he was not prepared in advance, he could not avoid it. He could only resist.
In a hurry, the insectoids steadied their bodies and channeled their mana to protect themselves.
The sword light stabbed the surface of his body but was blocked by his mana. It was just like the scene when Lu Ye faced the ox monster on the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea.
At that time, Lu Ye was very surprised that the ox monster could hone his mana to such a level. But now he knew that this was not a problem of mana, but of Dao Energy.
The sword light became more and more resplendent, and the insectoids roared to resist.
Jiu Yan attacked again. Although her qi and blood were shaken just now, it was not serious. Seeing the insectoids being harassed by the sword light, she naturally would not miss this opportunity.
"Scram!" The insectoid was getting impatient. While resisting the sword light, he threw a punch at Jiu Yan from afar. Jiu Yan, who was rushing over, paused. His protective mana had been shattered by this punch. He was extremely shocked. One had to know that this was just a casual punch from the insectoid, and there was still some distance between them. Yet, it was still so powerful. If he had been hit by this punch at close range, he would have died on the spot.
The moment her protective mana was shattered, another layer of light appeared on Jiu Yan's body. It was obvious that her protective magic treasure had taken effect.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiu Yan rushed forward. She channeled her powerful cultivation into her spear and stabbed it out viciously. It went straight for the insectoids waist.
However, even the sword light from the Sword Gourd could not break through her opponent's defense. How could her attack be effective?
The spear seemed to have pierced into an extremely tough force field. Very quickly, it was stopped in its tracks. It did not even touch the insectoids skin. Jiu Yan did not give up. She channeled her power with all her might because she knew that this was the best opportunity to exhaust her opponent's Dao Energy.
However, after three breaths, Jiu Yan had no choice but to retreat. This was because the insectoids had developed killing intent in their anger. They turned their heads and looked at her. It was obvious that they wanted to get rid of her first.
Almost at the same time that Jiu Yan retreated, the resplendent sword light suddenly shattered. The power of the Sword Gourd could no longer be maintained.
Only then did the insectoids retract their gaze from Jiu Yan. Compared to killing Jiu Yan, he wanted to obtain the treasure in Lu Ye's hands more!
To all the guests of the Star Abyss, treasures were very useful. By borrowing the power of the treasures, they could obtain additional Dao Energy and have a faster growth rate.
Just as he took a step forward, the insectoids were shocked to find that Lu Ye had released a ball of fire. It swept towards him. The terrifying power contained in the fire was not the slightest bit inferior to the sword light from before!
Although the gourd in Lu Ye's hands did not look any different from the previous one, the insectoids were still keenly aware of something. "Another treasure?"
Attribute treasures were not cabbages. Although they were derivatives of most valuable treasures, regardless of whether it was in the starry skies or the Star Abyss, their numbers could not be considered large. For a cultivator to be able to possess a single attribute treasure was already an enormous fortune. Now, there was actually a situation where a single person possessed two attribute treasures!
He was overjoyed and almost laughed out loud. There was only one thought in his mind. Mine, they're all mine!
But soon, he realized that things were not good. Because his Dao Energy was severely depleted, whether or not he could block the power of the second treasure was another matter.
But now that Lu Ye had activated the might of the Fire Gourd, he could not retreat at all. He could only grit his teeth and madly urge his strength.
A ball of fire fell on the insectoids body, instantly igniting him and turning him into a ball of fire.
But even though he was enveloped by the might of the Fire Gourd, the insectoids still managed to rush in front of Lu Ye. With two treasures in front of him, he had to take them first. As for the might of the Fire Gourd, as long as his Dao Energy was not exhausted, it would not cause him any harm.
He could sense that Lu Ye's cultivation was not high. At the very least, with such a cultivation, he should not appear in such a position.
But when he really attacked Lu Ye, he realized that Lu Ye's cultivation was not high, but he was very agile. He attacked several times, but he still could not take him down.
Lu Ye was helpless. After activating the might of the Fire Gourd, he was ready to call Jiu Yan and escape together. Whether or not the insectoids could block the might of the Fire Gourd, the aftermath of the battle had already spread. Naturally, they could not stay here for long. While the insectoids were distracted by the might of the Fire Gourd, they might have a chance to escape.
But who knew that the insectoids would target him, making it impossible for him to leave. He could only rely on his flying technique to avoid the insectoids. He did not dare to face them head-on.
After all, the power of the burning Fire Gourd did not distinguish between friend and foe. If he accidentally touched it, he would not have a good time. At the moment, he did not have a Talent Tree to use.
Jiu Yan, who was not far away, was anxious. Faced with this situation, she did not have any good ideas. She could only take out a magic treasure and attack from afar, shooting out beams of light to obstruct the insectoids.
After a dozen breaths of time, the flames suddenly dissipated, and the insectoids reappeared.
Almost at the same time, a beam of light hit the insectoids body. It was Jiu Yan's attack.
The beam of light hit the insectoids chest, causing them to stagger. A large wound appeared on their chest, and blood flowed out.
Jiu Yan was stunned. Then, she suddenly realized, "He's exhausted his Dao Energy!"
As she spoke, she charged forward with her spear.
Lu Ye also noticed this. His body moved like a ghost, and he appeared beside the insectoids. He unsheathed his Mountain Pan Saber and slashed down.
There was the faint sound of a beast roaring, and the phantom of a giant beast appeared. It opened its bloody mouth.
It bared its fangs!
The insectoids, who were in a sorry state, suddenly turned their heads and coldly stared at him. The corners of their lips curled up in a strange arc, and they reached out to grab him.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. The insectoids injury just now … was a show of weakness!
The sharp claws pierced through the phantom of the beast, causing it to collapse. Then, they easily broke through Lu Ye's protective magic power and fiercely clawed at him.
Lu Ye felt a burst of pain from his chest. Not only that, but there seemed to be an extremely strange power penetrating his chest and invading his body.
As he hurriedly retreated, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he noticed something was wrong in time. Otherwise, even if he didn't die, he would've been seriously injured. Now, only a lump of flesh on his chest had been torn off, so it wasn't too big of a problem.
However, that didn't mean he was out of danger. The insectoids' attack didn't succeed, and they immediately chased after him like maggots.
An unprecedented sense of danger enveloped his body. In that instant, even the flow of time around him seemed to slow down.
Lu Ye looked past the insectoids and saw Jiu Yan anxiously rushing over to help him. However, she was still some distance away and wouldn't make it in time.
In a hurry, Lu Ye flicked his fingers, and drop after drop of blood flew toward the insectoids. In the blink of an eye, he had summoned four drops of blood.
He didn't even have time to have the blood transform into doppelgangers before a terrifying and powerful force exploded from the blood.
Four balls of bloody light exploded at almost the same time, enveloping the insectoids. The huge impact sent Lu Ye flying, and the injury on his chest became even more serious. (End of Chapter 1)
