The Profound Azure Palace's formation was already strong enough to contend with overlord-level demon beasts.
To them, Lu Ye's current strength wasn't the slightest bit inferior to those legendary overlord-level demon beasts.
The two sides were separated by sixty meters. The atmosphere was solemn and murderous intent surged.
Lu Ye, who was standing in place, suddenly turned around and slashed out with his saber. With a flash of saber light, a ghost cultivator who had quietly snuck up to Lu Ye and was about to attack was directly split in half.
The ghost cultivator's eyes were filled with disbelief before he died. He couldn't figure out how he had been exposed.
The might of this saber strike made even more ghost cultivators who had hidden themselves not dare to act rashly. Lu Yiye's perception seemed to be a bit too powerful. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for ghost cultivators to ambush him.
The saber strike seemed to be a signal. Following the sudden death of the ghost cultivator, the word "kill" suddenly exploded from the Profound Azure Palace's formation.
In the next instant, an overwhelming number of spells and streams of light from Imperial Equipment blasted towards Lu Ye like a torrential downpour.
With the support of the wind spirit tattoo, Lu Ye flew forward while dodging one attack after another. In the eyes of the Profound Azure Palace's cultivators, Lu Ye's figure was as nimble as a fish in water. Ninety percent of their spells and flying artifacts missed. Occasionally, they would hit him, but they were blocked by the spirit tattoo activated by Lu Yiye.
The distance of sixty meters was covered in only three breaths of time.
The body cultivator facing Lu Ye held a spirit artifact shield in front of him. His qi, blood, and spirit power surged together as he assumed an unbreakable stance.
Lu Ye's saber-wielding right arm suddenly swelled up. Dense qi and blood converged on his right arm. He aimed at the spirit artifact shield and slashed down.
In a flash!
Under everyone's shocked gazes, the Nine Restrictions Great Shield shattered into pieces and scattered in all directions. The protective effect it was supposed to have didn't even have the slightest bit of effect. Not only that, the Mountain Blade also took advantage of the momentum to hack the body cultivator behind the great shield to the ground.
A small gap appeared in the Profound Azure Palace's tight formation with the fall of the body cultivator.
Lu Ye's silhouette was like a ferocious tiger descending from the mountain. He charged into the crowd through the gap, flying around on his weapon as he swung the Mountain Saber in his hand.
When he was a Celestial Eight, he had once killed his way into the encampment of a Myriad Devil Ridge force. In the end, he had been beaten to the point of covering his head and fleeing in a sorry state.
But now, his cultivation had already advanced to the ninth heaven, and he had even received three baptisms from the heavens. His strength was much stronger than before.
The current Lu Ye already had the capital to annihilate a sect by himself.
If he didn't have such confidence, how could he have charged into the Profound Azure Palace's base?
Facing so many enemies alone, the best way to deal with it was to charge into the enemy's formation. Although it was easy to get surrounded like this, it would also allow him to better control the situation and limit the number of enemies who could attack him at the same time. Simply put, it was to make the enemy's hands and feet tied.
On the other hand, if he distanced himself, it wouldn't be easy for him to be surrounded. But once he distanced himself, everyone could attack him with their weapons or spells, and the situation would only worsen.
After charging into the enemy's formation, there were enemies everywhere, but at most seven or eight people could attack Lu Ye at the same time. Moreover, they were all fighting at close range, so Lu Ye didn't have to worry about being harassed by weapons or spells.
Every time he killed a person, there would be a few more wounds on his body. Fortunately, Lu Ye's physique was strong enough. Those injuries looked serious, but in fact, they were only superficial wounds. He always used defensive spirit tattoos to protect his vital parts.
The scene became chaotic.
Hu Po, who was crouching on Lu Ye's shoulder, roared from time to time. Every time it roared, a group of people would be in trouble.
In this chaotic situation, a petite figure silently appeared behind the Profound Azure Palace's cultivators. It was Yiyi.
When Lu Ye charged into the Profound Azure Palace's base and killed the first few cultivators he encountered, Yiyi came out of Hu Po's body and hid underground.
None of the Profound Azure Palace's cultivators noticed her when she came out.
She held a treasure that looked like a scroll in her hand. It was the Nine Realms Diagram that Madam Yun had bestowed upon her.
She silently arrived behind the Profound Azure Palace's cultivators and took advantage of the fact that Lu Ye's massacre had attracted everyone's attention to cover their heads with the Nine Realms Diagram. In an instant, the cultivators disappeared without a trace, and several figures appeared in the Nine Realms Diagram. Those figures were vivid and lifelike, and each of them had a stunned expression. Clearly, they didn't know what had happened.
The Nine Realms Diagram was a spirit artifact level treasure, and it had always been under Yiyi's control. Although she could only use a bit of the Nine Realms Diagram's power with her current strength, it was more than enough to deal with Spirit Stream Realm cultivators.
After putting away those people, Yiyi immediately drilled into the ground and went several dozen meters underground.
With Yiyi's current strength, even if she controlled the Nine Realms Diagram, it would be difficult for her to kill those people by herself. Moreover, she couldn't trap them for too long. It wasn't that the Nine Realms Diagram wasn't powerful enough, but that she wasn't strong enough.
If she was strong enough, she could control the life and death of any enemy trapped in the Nine Realms Diagram. With a single thought, she could kill them without knowing why.
Since she couldn't trap them for too long or kill them easily, she could only let them go.
Therefore, after burrowing several hundred feet into the ground, Yiyi activated the Nine Worlds Diagram's power and directly released the people she had taken in ….
Those cultivators didn't even have the chance to make a sound before they died on the spot.
How could a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator withstand the enormous pressure of the ground several dozen meters underground?
Only someone like Yiyi, who was neither real nor virtual, could freely travel underground.
She rushed out again and did the same thing!
The Profound Azure Palace's cultivators were terrified!
Lu Ye had charged into their base alone and killed people, which made them feel like they were being looked down upon and offended. They were filled with endless anger.
But now, they realized that he really had the ability to do so.
In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, another thirty out of the eighty people had died. Even the body cultivators who were wielding spirit weapon shields were unable to block his violent slash and were directly split into two halves along with their shields.
What made them even more puzzled was that many people had disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they had gone, but they were gone just like that.
Now, less than thirty people were left of the original eighty. The square in front of the Heavenly Secret Hall was filled with blood and corpses were piled up like mountains. The flowers of slaughter bloomed amidst the blood and corpses.
The murderer was bathed in blood and seemed to have gone mad. From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a single word and only killed. It was as if he had made up his mind to slaughter the entire Profound Azure Palace!
With so many people dead, the Profound Azure Palace's cultivators who were lucky enough to survive were all terrified.
"Retreat to the Nine Provinces!"
Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and shouted.
Followers gathered.
The Profound Azure Palace's cultivators who were lucky enough to survive retreated as they fought. They ran toward the Heavenly Secret Hall and disappeared one by one in front of the Heavenly Secret Pillar.
However, in the process, several more people died under the saber.
Lu Ye only stopped when she couldn't see any Profound Azure Palace's cultivators anymore.
Yiyi came out from the ground and looked around. She said in shock, "Where did they go?"
Relying on the Nine Worlds Diagram and her special spiritual body, she was constantly moving the enemies. Who would have thought that all of them would suddenly disappear, leaving behind a large number of corpses on the battlefield?
"They ran away."
Lu Ye shook off the bloodstains on the Mountain Plate Saber and sheathed it.
"What a pity."
She thought that she would be able to kill all the Profound Azure Palace's cultivators this time, but in the end, some still managed to escape. However, there shouldn't be many of them.
Fifty miles away from the Profound Azure Palace's encampment, many streaks of light rushed over. The one in the lead was the Guardian of the Three Sacred Academies, Situ Han. Behind him were the elites of the Three Sacred Academies.
The Three Sacred Academies and the Profound Azure Palace's encampment were neighbors. In this generation, the Three Sacred Academies didn't have many capable Spirit Stream Realm cultivators. Their overall strength was weak, so they were often bullied by the Profound Azure Palace and the other two factions of the Myriad Devil Ridge.
This was also the reason why the Three Sacred Academies wanted Lu Ye to join their encampment. They originally thought that they could rope in Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan to ease the awkward situation of the Three Sacred Academies' encampment. However, Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan both advanced to the Cloud River Realm.
Thus, the matter of Lu Ye joining their encampment was left unsettled.
When the Three Sacred Academies' encampment was breached, the nearby factions of the Myriad Devil Ridge also contributed greatly, especially the Profound Azure Palace. As old neighbors, the enmity between them could be said to be innumerable.
Although the Three Sacred Academies' encampment had been rebuilt, due to the lack of contribution points, the World Spirit Qi inside the encampment was much weaker than before.
Therefore, after receiving Lu Ye's message, Situ Han gathered nearly half of his men and aggressively charged toward the Profound Azure Palace's encampment. They were prepared to cooperate with Lu Ye and take revenge for that day.
Behind Situ Han, the group of cultivators all rubbed their fists and were filled with killing intent.
"Junior Sister Feng," Situ Han suddenly called out.
"I'm here." Feng Yue, who was standing behind him, quickly responded. Feng Yue was now a Ninth Order cultivator, and with the help of the Three Sacred Academies, she had gathered enough contribution points to buy a Heaven Grade Secret Art. It wouldn't be long before she broke through to the Seventh Order.
"Where is Brother Yi Ye now?" Situ Han asked.
"Let me ask," Feng Yue said and quickly sent a message to Lu Ye to ask about the situation.
A moment later, her expression turned strange, "Fifth Senior Brother said that he is now in the Profound Azure Palace's encampment."
When Situ Han heard this, his expression changed slightly, "Brother Yi Ye is so impatient. Has he already killed his way in?"
After pondering for a moment, he urged his Spirit Energy and shouted, "Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, Brother Yi Ye has already killed his way into the Profound Azure Palace's encampment. Right now, he might be surrounded on all sides. Hurry up and help him!"
"Yes!" The group of cultivators responded loudly. In the next moment, everyone's speed increased by a notch.
After an incense stick's worth of time, several dozen people rushed to the Profound Azure Palace's encampment under Situ Han's lead. However, when they looked around, they saw that the Profound Azure Palace's Defensive Array had already been activated. Starting from a certain direction, it extended all the way into the encampment. There were corpses and blood everywhere.
[Is … the battle over?] Situ Han was dumbfounded.
