Sage of Humanity
Chapter 835 - 833 This Guy Must Be Crazy

The Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm, where the Eight-Member Squad of the Nine Provinces was located, had long since transformed into an Asura Purgatory. The broken bodies and rotting flesh of the Corpse Race piled up into mountains, and the flowing blood formed rivers.

The greatest crisis had already passed. With the continuous arrival of reinforcements from the Nine Provinces, the pressure on this side quickly lessened.

At this moment, on top of the corpse mountain, eight figures stood tall, and no Corpse Race dared to come and disturb them.

Looking around, they saw numerous portals appear everywhere, and many cultivators from the Nine Provinces emerged from the portals, forming battle arrays to fight against the Corpse Race.

The situation here was also noticed by many Nine Provinces cultivators. After recognizing Lu Ye and the others, and seeing their terrifying battle achievements, they all marveled and admired them.

"I can't take it anymore..." Fong Rulie, having lost his excitement, felt his whole body aching. On top of being poisoned by the Primordial Corpse Poison, his face was covered by an abnormal yellow hue. "I need to find that Fellow Daoist Hua quickly, or else I'll turn into a Corpse Race member."

Saying this, he hoisted his spear and leaped off the corpse mountain, rushing towards the portal to the Huntian Holy Temple Secret Realm.

"I'll go too!" Lui Qing said, following quickly behind Fong Rulie.

Ying Wuji and Yang Yuan also hurried away.

Even Muk Qingyun nodded slightly to Lu Ye before shooting to the sky.

During the earlier battle, four members of the squad were poisoned by the Primordial Corpse Poison. Later, even Muk Qingyun could not avoid it. Although Hua Ci's elixir pills temporarily suppressed the poison, it was only a suppression. With the intense battle causing spirit force to pulse, the pill's effects gradually wore off. By now, everyone felt something was wrong. They knew if they didn't purge the Primordial Corpse Poison quickly, the consequences could be dire.

If they really turned into Corpse Race members, it would be a huge problem.

Only Lu Ye, Lan Ziyi, and Giant Armor remained on the corpse mountain.

Lan Ziyi's expression was full of confusion as she looked at Lu Ye and then at Giant Armor, with a whole belly of doubts unanswered.

These two were just too strange. One was covered in wounds but showed no signs of poisoning.

In theory, any injury in a battle against the Corpse Race could not be taken lightly, as there might be Primordial Corpse Poison in any wound.

As for the other one... after such a long and fierce battle, there was not a single wound on his bare upper body.

How strong did one's physique have to be to remain unharmed in such an intense melee? Was this guy's body magic-artifact class?

Even Yang Yuan, another physique cultivator, had many wounds, aside from being injured by the Golden Corpse King Corpse Fiend, and also got wounded in subsequent battles.

She herself remained unscathed because she wore a protective soft armor close to her body. Otherwise, she would have been poisoned by the Primordial Corpse Poison by now.

These two were such freaks!

She then saw an even stranger scene.

Lu Ye casually took out a handful of elixir pills and directly stuffed them into his mouth. His cheeks bulged high, and he mumbled vaguely to Giant Armor beside him, "Recover!"

"Oh." Giant Armor responded and closed his eyes.

Crunch, crunch, Lu Ye chewed the pills while glancing at Lan Ziyi, whose eyes twitched violently.

She had never imagined that someone would take so many elixir pills at once. Those were elixir pills, not candies!

Wasn't he worried about the accumulation of pill poison and impure spirit force in such a short time?

Any cultivator, regardless of their cultivation level, would never swallow elixir pills in this manner.

This guy must be crazy!

Gulp...

The elixir pills were swallowed into his stomach, and soon Lan Ziyi heard a humming sound from Lu Ye's belly, as if Thunderbolts were roaming inside, or as if a millstone was grinding.

He even dared to activate the Bestial Gluttony Feast... Lan Ziyi was left speechless.

She knew about the useless Cultivation Technique like Bestial Gluttony Feast. So as soon as she heard the sound from Lu Ye's belly, she knew what he was doing.

He was truly fearless! Swallowing so many elixir pills at once and even activating the Bestial Gluttony Feast to refine the pill's efficacy.

However, she had to admit that it worked well because Lan Ziyi could clearly feel that Lu Ye's aura, which had dimmed due to the prolonged battle, was rapidly recovering. This undoubtedly indicated that his spirit force was being restored quickly.

But... was it necessary? Such a recovery method was practically gambling with his future.

Suddenly, the surrounding spirit force surged again. When Lan Ziyi looked at Giant Armor, she saw that he had already opened his eyes, and his spirit force was so abundant that it was almost overflowing.

"Done!" Giant Armor said in a hoarse voice.

Done with what?

Lan Ziyi suddenly felt a bit surreal. She clearly saw how Lu Yiye quickly recovered his spirit force using some special means. But what about Giant Armor?

From the moment he closed his eyes to reopening them, it was only ten breaths of time. The many losses from the previous battle had already been fully replenished?

She didn't see any trace of him taking elixir pills or absorbing Spirit Stone powers.

"Let's go!" Lu Ye called out and stepped in one direction. He didn't choose to fly, but each step covered more than ten feet.

Giant Armor followed silently, without even asking Lu Ye what he was going to do.

"Wait!" Lan Ziyi came to her senses and quickly followed, walking side by side with Lu Ye. She turned her head and said, "Together!"

She had already guessed what Lu Ye aimed to do. Although this journey would undoubtedly be risky, if it succeeded, they would gain a great deal of battle merit.

She did not want to miss this opportunity.

Lu Ye did not refuse her. Lan Ziyi had strength, and though teaming up with Giant Armor might be enough, having one more person meant more strength.

Along the way, the Corpse Race continued to attack, but having already passed through the previous ordeal; they didn't care about these small obstacles.

The three advanced in an arrowhead formation, dealing with every obstructing Corpse Race member, their handbacks absorbing the floating sparkles from the slain Corpse Race bodies.

Soon, Lan Ziyi noticed something and turned to ask, "Lu Yiye, do you know where he is?"

She had noticed that Lu Ye's actions lacked clear direction, seemingly hunting while searching.

Lu Ye beheaded a Corpse Race member's head and responded casually, "You know?"

He didn't know the target's precise location because it was too inconspicuous among the numerous Corpse Race members. They couldn't find it unless it exposed itself.

But in the current situation, the target wouldn't expose itself easily.

So Lu Ye could only kill and search concurrently. He didn't need to see it with his eyes. When the target ambushed him earlier and then injured Yang Yuan, Lu Ye had memorized its aura.

As long as the target entered his perception range, it couldn't escape.

"I don't know either." Lan Ziyi's voice softened.

"Then stop talking."

The three continued hunting, even helping some Nine Provinces cultivators out of predicaments. Upon recognizing Lu Ye and Lan Ziyi, the Nine Provinces cultivators were all excited.

So the top two from the Cloud River Contention were here, cooperating! Eliminating the Corpse Race didn't seem hard at all.

Along the way, the ground was littered with both Corpse Race remains and many fallen Nine Provinces cultivators' bodies, showing the intensity of previous battles.

Suddenly, a heartrending scream came, prompting Lu Ye to dash towards the sound's source, reaching the battlefield in moments.

By this time, the bustle around the portals had vanished. The Corpse Race had realized how formidable their Nine Provinces visitors were and had scattered.

Many Nine Provinces cultivators left the portal areas to team up with friends and relatives for hunting.

At this moment, a team of about a dozen was in dire straits, surrounded by a group of Corpse Race members. Worse, there was an extremely powerful presence among them.

Iron Corpse Commander!

In reality, not only were Golden Corpse King Corpse Fiends Overlord-level, but its three Commanders under it were strong enough to be considered Overlord-level as well, not something ordinary Cloud River Realm cultivators could handle. However, the Corpse Fiend was even stronger than the three Commanders.

The Copper Corpse Commander died unjustly before because he underestimated the strength of the Nine Provinces Squad, who killed him in just ten breaths due to their excellent cooperation. Meanwhile, his large subordinate Corpse horde couldn't display their advantage against Lu Ye's sharp perception.

Although the Iron Corpse Commander couldn't accomplish anything against the Nine Provinces Squad, he was formidable against an ordinary squad.

The strongest member of the squad fell to one strike, and the rest were in peril.

In this critical moment, the surrounding Corpse Race suddenly became chaotic. The next moment, a fiery figure cut through like a sharp blade, heading straight for the Iron Corpse Commander with a fierce blade strike.

Suddenly attacked, the Iron Corpse Commander didn't care, raising one arm to block the blade, while his iron-colored skin tensed, seemingly turning to refined iron.

In the next instant, however, his stiff face changed color upon recognizing the figure in his vision as one of the initial few invading the Huntian Holy Temple!

Among the rest, the Iron Corpse Commander didn't worry much. But this blade wielder was the one it feared.

For this was the one who injured the Golden Corpse King!

Suddenly, Corpse Qi surged around him, concentrating on his arm.

Clang...

The blade struck with a clear sound, piercing the Iron Corpse Commander's defense three inches deep but not cutting off his arm.

The Iron Corpse Commander took advantage of the shockwave to retreat swiftly, trying to flee.

Yet in the next moment, a tall figure appeared in his escape path, as if predicting his retreat route, wielding two exaggerated long blades that danced like a storm of dazzling light, enveloping the Iron Corpse Commander.
