saint of humanity

Chapter 2968 My name is Yang Kai

The seventh generation leader was a woman, and her mind was more perceptive. Ever since she met Lu Ye, she had been observing him closely. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Lu Ye, what is your current strength?"

Although that insectoid True Saint wasn't particularly strong, Lu Ye had just easily dispatched him with a single, effortless strike.

This strength is immeasurably greater than it was a thousand years ago.

It should be noted that a thousand years ago, when Lu Ye clashed with the True Saints of the opposing side, although he was able to gain the upper hand, he was never as dominant as he is now.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing her question, Lu Ye simply shook his head slowly: "I don't know either."

The seventh generation master was stunned, thinking to himself, "What cultivator in this world doesn't even know this?"

Lu Ye was indeed unsure of his own strength. Since the universe stabilized and the Primordial Wutong returned to its rightful place, the Dao-Merging Pearl had lost the support of many half-saints, and his foundation had indeed declined significantly.

However, after the power of the world replaced the power of the Dao, the methods he used became much more lethal.

It can be said that after many half-saints left their inner world that day, although his foundation weakened, his strength increased rather than decreased.

After the Dao-Merging Pearl was completed, his inner world underwent tremendous changes. Over the past thousand years, he has been wandering through the Star Abyss and various star systems, gathering homeless or living in harsh environments and settling them into his inner world.

Nowadays, this inner world is not only inhabited by the Yuanling race, but also by almost all races, and their numbers have long since become an extremely large number.

The inner world is now prosperous and bustling, with the world power generated by the survival and reproduction of countless living beings being extremely abundant. This is the foundation for Lu Ye to be able to kill a True Saint with a single strike.

Moreover, his cultivation system is fundamentally different from the current mainstream cultivation system in the universe, so it is really difficult to judge his strength using existing standards.

Old friends reunited, each overjoyed, and casually chose a nearby dead star for their gathering.

After chatting for a while, Yang Qing suddenly asked, "What are your plans now that you've returned?"

Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, glanced at Hua Ci and the other women beside him, and then smiled slightly: "Second Ancestor, I'm leaving!"

"Leave?" Yang Qing was taken aback, and the Seventh Generation Master and the others were even more puzzled. "Where to?"

Lu Ye said, "Does the Second Ancestor still remember that he reminded me not to refine the origin of the universe?"

Yang Qing nodded: "Of course I remember, these are the words left by our ancestors."

Lu Ye said, "At the time, I didn't know why. It wasn't until a few years ago that I suddenly realized that once you refine the origin of the universe, you will be completely bound to this universe and it will be difficult to break free."

A casual remark left Yang Qing and the others stunned at first, then deep in thought, and then greatly alarmed.

The seventh generation master exclaimed in astonishment, "Lu Ye, judging from your words, could it be that you...?"

Lu Ye nodded slightly: "I felt the call of my ancestors. They are waiting for me somewhere outside this universe."

Yang Qing suddenly realized: "This is your path?"

Lu Ye slowly stood up: "It should be, but I just don't know what kind of road it is."

As he stood up and finished speaking, Yang Qing and the others were all astonished to find that Lu Ye seemed to be drifting away, with a sense of transcendence and detachment from this universe.

Hua Ci and the others all showed expressions of reluctance.

Even though they had known Lu Ye's plans and what he was about to face during their thousand years of getting to know each other, and had anticipated today's scene, they still could not suppress the emotions in their hearts.

"Everyone," Lu Ye said, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, "I'm leaving this place to you. Until we meet again!"

He had originally planned to send Hua Ci and the others back to the starry sky first, and then talk to Yang Qing and the others in detail. However, since they had met here, there was no better time than now.

As his inner world continued to grow and the power of the world gradually accumulated, the guidance and call left by his ancestors in this universe became clearer and clearer.

He glanced at Hua Ci and the others again, his lips parting slightly: "Wait for me to come back!"

In a daze, his figure suddenly vanished, as if he had never existed in this universe.

The crowd stood there silently, feeling lost and dejected.

……

As he left, Lu Ye didn't know what path he was going to take, but whatever the path, he would find out once he took it.

Not to mention, there are also the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors ahead to provide support.

Lu Ye was actually very curious as to why an ancestor of such stature would leave guidance in this universe, so that he could go and find him.

He secretly guessed that it must be related to that chaotic behemoth.

But was that chaotic behemoth really that powerful that even an ancestor as strong as him couldn't deal with it?

The guidance left by his ancestors was very clear. Lu Ye felt as if he were swimming along a river. He didn't even need to exert any effort. The flow of the river naturally guided him in the predetermined direction.

With no reference points around, time and space seemed to have lost all meaning at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Ye suddenly had a thought and his figure soared upwards.

A moment later, he suddenly felt light all over and found himself in a state of confusion. Looking around, he saw a chaotic scene, like the primordial chaos before the creation of the world, but it was not dark. Instead, there were colorful lights in his field of vision, sometimes disappearing and sometimes flickering.

In his perception, there was no wandering Dao power around him, but there was another power that Lu Ye could not fathom.

The force bound him firmly to the spot, making him temporarily unable to move.

Lu Ye was greatly astonished. At this moment, he felt as if he were sealed inside a wall.

Is this chaos?

The universe was born from chaos, and since I came out of the universe, I must have entered chaos.

As expected, it was extremely dangerous. The power around them must have been the power of chaos. Such a strange power would have made it difficult for even a True Saint like Yang Qing to move forward.

He slightly activated his own world power, and the restraints instantly broke, restoring his freedom.

This made Lu Ye raise an eyebrow, because as he activated his own power, he discovered that the power of the world seemed to be the nemesis of this chaotic power.

He stood silently in place for a moment, then turned and looked in one direction.

Even after arriving in this chaos, the guidance of his ancestors had not disappeared, like an invisible thread guiding him in the right direction.

Lu Ye immediately set off for that direction.

As he traveled, he looked around and realized that the colorful lights around him were actually clusters of cosmic light, each a universe in itself.

Some were dazzling and bright, while others were extremely dim, which made Lu Ye marvel.

Within the chaos, Lu Ye was surrounded by the power of the world, like a fast ship riding the wind and waves, speeding forward.

At a certain moment, he suddenly had a thought, and when he looked up, he saw a figure emerging from a cluster of nine-colored light in front of him.

He was three points faster.

Before long, they arrived before the nine-colored light. Upon closer inspection, they realized that the true form of the nine-colored light was a slowly rotating lotus flower.

It looked strangely familiar, reminding him of the divine lotus he had seen in the ancestral land of the Soul Clan.

The figure sitting atop the divine lotus looked even more familiar.

"Young friend, you've arrived." As Lu Ye's thoughts shifted, the young man sitting atop the divine lotus smiled and spoke, his tone friendly, as if he had known Lu Ye for a long time.

In fact, Lu Ye knew that the other party had indeed known him for a long time.

The scene he witnessed at the beginning of the universe was not an illusion, but a communication between the young man in front of him and himself, using supernatural powers that transcended time.

"Come here and talk. The chaotic energy outside is dense, and it's also draining your power." The young man gestured for him to come over.

How could Lu Ye dare disobey? He immediately leaped onto the divine lotus.

Despite having followed this person's directions to arrive here, Lu Ye was momentarily speechless upon seeing them.

The young man, however, continued to smile: "Now that you've come here, is the seed left in the universe by the Chaos Beast thus resolved?"

Lu Ye nodded: "At least we haven't let our ancestors down."

"You also refined the residue left behind by those seeds?"

"Yes." Lu Ye nodded.

After burning away the abyss, a crystal was left in his soul sea. Lu Ye refined it, which greatly enhanced his divine soul.

Upon hearing this, the young man snapped his fingers: "That makes things easier. The task of finding that chaotic beast is now yours!"

Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat: "Is that chaotic behemoth really that hard to find?"

The young man chuckled: "It knows I'm looking for it, so it's been hiding and hasn't come out. You've refined the legacy of its seeds, so there's a subtle connection between you and it."

Lu Ye suddenly realized why his ancestor had guided him to leave the universe and come to this place to find him.

He immediately calmed his mind and silently sensed it. After a moment, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart and looked up at the young man: "Ancestor, I sense it. Shall we set off now?"

The young man shook his head: "No rush, we still need to wait for a young friend."

"Who?" Lu Ye was slightly taken aback.

The young man said, “I don’t know who it is, but it will come eventually. That chaotic beast is immortal and indestructible. It’s easy for the two of us to kill it, but it’s difficult to completely eliminate it. Over the years, I have studied a formation based on your Dao Tree. It requires three people to set up the formation so that we can completely eliminate it.”

Lu Ye's mind raced.

The ancestor said he was waiting for someone, but he didn't know who it was. This undoubtedly meant that the other person, like himself, had jumped out of another universe.

From this perspective, our ancestors did not only have plans within their own universe.

He immediately nodded: "I will follow the instructions of my ancestors."

The young man smiled and said, "Although you have the blood of my dragon clan, you are not a descendant of my dragon clan, so there is no need to address me as 'ancestor'. Now that we are fellow Daoists, let's follow your customs and address each other as fellow Daoists."

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye readily agreed, cupping his fists and saying, "Lu Ye greets fellow Daoist! May I ask how to address you?"

Although he had a cross-time exchange and collaboration with the person in front of him, he hadn't actually asked for the person's name at the time, and Yang Qing had never mentioned it either, so he really didn't know what the person's name was.

"Me?" the young man smiled. "My name is Yang Kai, and a long time ago, some people also called me... the Void Emperor!"
