Chapter 2288 - 2286: Star Abyss Heir?

Lu Ye stayed on that floating land for half a month, mainly helping Zi Ying with soul refinement.

Her physical body had previously undergone refinement, and now with the soul refined once more, her body and soul became transparent, free of impurities, which would undoubtedly greatly aid her Dao Harmony.

Time flew by, and another month passed.

In a small battle zone, a Giant Race Dao Fusion was battling a Blood Race Dao Fusion, locked in a stalemate, while the surrounding battle raged fiercely with both sides' Path Entrants fighting in groups, unleashing Dao force.

The Giants are generally larger in size, which sometimes makes them appear cumbersome, especially in front of the Blood Race. Thus, although this Giant Race Dao Fusion had stronger cultivation, their confrontation left him in a declining state.

The Blood Race Dao Fusion was extremely clever and very experienced in combat, moving nimbly, never confronting his opponent head-on, but instead slowly wearing down his opponent's morale and strength using his own advantages.

The Giant Race Dao Fusion cursed angrily, but to no avail.

A figure staggered sideways, flying over like a drunken person.

Initially, both sides didn't pay much attention, but as the figure drew closer, they realized something was amiss, especially the Blood Race, whose face turned pale upon recalling recent tragedies that had occurred across various battle zones.

Such tragedies had happened before, and then subsided for a time, only to reappear a month ago.

Human Race Lu Ye!

This name struck fear into the hearts of the Insect and Blood Race Dao Fusions, as tales of his unpredictable appearances and unknown methods of ambush were circulated; each appearance heralded the fall of a Dao Fusion of the Insect and Blood Races.

Upon recalling this name, the Blood Race didn't spare a glance at the newcomer's face, instinctively sensing disaster, and activated the Blood Escape Technique to withdraw from the battlefield.

However, an intangible pressure suddenly descended, and the Blood Race Dao Fusion's expression changed drastically, unable to fathom how such a dense saintliness could suppress him at this critical moment.

His body stiffened...

The Giant Race Dao Fusion finally found an opportunity, delivering a punch that struck the Blood Race from afar, causing him to spew blood.

The Giant Race Dao Fusion rejoiced and was about to move forward to finish the job when he saw the figure that had been staggering towards them suddenly increase in speed, instantly reaching the Blood Race.

As a flash of blade light passed by, the Blood Race's head separated from his body.

The Giant Race Dao Fusion paused, seriously observing the figure who slowly sheathed the blade, clasping his hands and saying, "As expected, it is Fellow Daoist Lu. Many thanks for your assistance!"

Before the battle at Edgeless City, Lu Ye had caused quite a stir in Banlan, and rumors had it that the enemy's annihilation in Huang Quan's big battle zone was also related to him.

After settling Zi Ying recently, he returned and dived into hunting enemy Dao Fusions, achieving great results in just one month.

This Giant Race Dao Fusion had certainly heard of his name before the battle, wondering if Lu Ye would indeed suddenly appear as the rumors said...

And it turned out he did.

In the small battle zone, with only one Dao Fusion overseeing each side, now that the Blood Race Dao Fusion was dead, the outcome of this battle was no longer in doubt.

Lu Ye nodded slightly in response, yet wore a puzzled expression.

In this past month, he had been active across various battle zones, slaying numerous Dao Fusions, and finally honed one more piece of Dao Bone. According to his calculations, as long as he acquired a few more Star Abyss Blessings, he should be able to continue honing his Dao Bones.

If all goes well, in a month he could achieve the Dao Bone Great Perfection, marking the time for him to visit the Dao Runes Pavilion on his home planet to observe and ascend to Dao Fusion.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time!

The key was the constant enhancement of his own foundation brought by the arrival of the Star Abyss Blessing, which allowed him to continue honing the Dao Bone.

The death of every Dao Fusion brought him a blessing without exception.

Except this time!

For some reason, the Star Abyss Blessing did not arrive, which was quite strange, as nothing like this had happened before.

Although strange, Lu Ye was not too concerned, thinking it was just one less blessing. By killing more enemy Dao Fusions, he would surely receive more.

While he was pondering this, an unexpected movement came from above him.

The nearby Giant Race Dao Fusion also sensed it and thought, "Here it comes!"

Indeed, as rumored, every enemy Dao Fusion Lu Ye killed brought down a Star Abyss Blessing, a miracle envied by many.

Looking up, he saw a bright spot bloom above Lu Ye's head, becoming dazzling in a blink, and then transformed into a solid-like beam of light, crashing down to envelop Lu Ye.

This Star Abyss Blessing... why does it look different from what I've seen before? Isn't this commotion a bit too much?

Though Star Abyss Blessings on an individual basis are rare, with so many cultivators in Banlan fighting all over, they weren't considered too scarce overall, with one or two lucky ones always getting it in each battle zone.

This Giant Race Dao Fusion had seen it a few times, but none could compare to the current situation.

No wonder it's the human race's Lu Ye, the Star Abyss Blessing he received is really different from others, thought the Giant Race Dao Fusion.

He didn't notice at all the heavy expression on Lu Ye's face at this moment.

Because the instant when the substantial light pillar descended from the sky, Lu Ye realized something was wrong.

This was not a Star Abyss Blessing at all!

He didn't know what this thing was either, but when the light pillar enveloped him, he suddenly couldn't move, as if he was hit with an immobilization curse, all his power was sealed within, even his Mental Consciousness was confined in the Divine Sea, he couldn't even blink.

The light pillar grew increasingly intense, completely swallowing Lu Ye's figure.

Suddenly, the dazzling light vanished.

When the Giant Race Dao Fusion regained his sight, there was nothing in front of him.

He showed a look of admiration, human race's Lu Ye, truly mysterious and elusive, just like the rumors!

At this moment, Lu Ye felt as if he was traversing through an endless void, he dared not use any force, only allowing himself to drift with the current.

He vaguely knew what he had encountered.

Because when the light pillar had covered him, he had suddenly sensed a somewhat familiar, yet overwhelmingly grand and majestic Will's presence.

It was the same feeling he got when he swore by the Will of the Star Abyss, at that time, it was a response from the Star Abyss Will, it was the Star Abyss Will paying attention to his oath.

But Lu Ye couldn't understand, he merely killed a Blood Race Dao Fusion just now, why would such a vast and profound Will take notice of him!

The Will of the Star Abyss is omnipresent, filling every corner of the Star Abyss, but under normal circumstances, this Will does not pay attention to anyone, unless its name is mentioned, then it might give a faint response.

Could it be that he had received too many blessings recently? But that didn't seem like the key point.

Placed on himself alone, indeed the blessings he received are numerous, but looking across the whole Star Abyss, there must be countless cultivators receiving blessings at every moment.

The only thing Lu Ye could be certain of at this moment was that his sudden encounter was caused by the Will of the Star Abyss, so he dared not resist.

The level of existence that the Will of the Star Abyss is, he still doesn't have a complete understanding, but just from the attitude of Jiu Ying, it's clear that even at its peak, it dared not show any disrespect towards the Will of the Star Abyss.

So what exactly does the Will of the Star Abyss intend to do this time? Where does it want to take him?

Various thoughts crossed Lu Ye's mind, but unfortunately, he had no qualification to explore until the situation became clear.

For now, it seemed, although Jiu Ying's Banlan isolated the path of cultivators entering the inner world, it was impossible to sever the connection with the Star Abyss. After all, if it really did sever, then Banlan would just be pure stellar space, with no Dao force or existence above Enter the Path.

Continuously shuttling through the darkness like this, time held no meaning, in such an environment, Lu Ye couldn't perceive the existence of space, nor could he detect the flow of time.

No knowing how long it passed, a point of spirit light suddenly appeared ahead.

Lu Ye's spirits lifted, seeing light in such darkness was undoubtedly a joyous thing.

However, he quickly noticed that the spirit light seemed to be flying straight towards him.

There was no time to dodge at all, the spirit light directly collided into his forehead.

Suddenly, some murmurs appeared by his ear, as if someone was talking in their sleep, listening casually, it was inaudible, but upon careful listening, the dream-like murmurs repeated over and over, only reciting four words.

Star Abyss Heir!

Lu Ye's expression brightened, finally understanding what he had encountered.

Star Abyss Heir, he had heard of it before.

He had heard it from Jiu Ying, though Lu Ye never intended to make things easy for Jiu Ying from the start, having spent more than a year with this old monster, he had gleaned quite a bit of information about the Star Abyss.

Star Abyss Heir was also mentioned once during idle chat by Jiu Ying.

The old monster said that, in the Star Abyss, there is a type of very special existence, which is the Star Abyss Heir, they are the truly unparalleled geniuses favored by the Will of the Star Abyss, each Star Abyss Heir has the potential to achieve the highest.

This kind of highest achievement, even Jiu Ying in its peak had never reached!

The old monster had bluntly said that Lu Ye might have the potential to become a Star Abyss Heir because it had deeply and clearly experienced Lu Ye's methods, if not personally experienced, it could never believe someone with Enter the Path power could be this strong, if even Lu Ye wasn't qualified, then there would be no Star Abyss Heir in the Star Abyss at all.

Lu Ye always held a wary attitude towards it, so whatever Jiu Ying said, he only listened with a grain of salt and would never entirely believe it.

But now his experience seems to have fulfilled Jiu Ying's prophecy!

Has he been chosen by the Star Abyss Will to become a Star Abyss Heir?

It's all a bit too sudden.
