Chapter 2338 - 2336: Birth of the Star Abyss Heir

The Solar Flames indeed survived, but they were in a miserable state.

Su Yan's fierce secret technique exploded, directly smashing his protective exotic treasure and severely injuring him.

Before he could catch his breath, Lu Ye was already upon him.

The Solar Flames, whose eyes had dimmed, suddenly saw a ray of hope. He never expected Lu Ye to come charging in alone!

To him, this was undeniably an opportunity. As long as he could eliminate Lu Ye here, he could win the final victory and become the Star Abyss Heir with Su Yan.

The Dao force within him was almost depleted, but he could still manage one last strike.

He was confident that at the Dao Fusion level, no one could withstand this strike!

Clad in golden armor, with even his face covered, the Solar Flames took a deep breath and faced the suddenly gleaming, dazzling saber light, throwing a mighty punch.

All two hundred seventy Dao forces erupted.

He had previously sensed that Lu Ye's power is around two hundred forty Dao forces, a thirty-force gap was quite significant. This punch was enough to break Lu Ye's offense and incidentally kill him.

The saber light shattered the moment the fist collided with the blade, and the Boulder Mountain Saber suddenly began to tremble violently.

The face of the Solar Flames suddenly changed.

It was because he sensed a tidal wave of Dao force impact from that long saber, each tremor being the full eruption of the enemy's power.

He quickly exerted his last bit of strength.

But it was useless; after only three tremors, the Dao force on his fist was extinguished. The saber pressed against his fist and slashed at him, sparks flying everywhere, and Solar Flames were cut and sent flying.

The armor covering his entire body dissipated swiftly...

This armor was an affiliated treasure of the supreme treasure, incredibly sturdy, not breakable by ordinary means. The Solar Flames nurtured it into his Dao soldier, which gave him strength beyond regular Dao Fusion.

But activating the power of this affiliated treasure also required the consumption of Dao force.

Yet at this moment, was there even a trace of Dao force left in the Solar Flames' body?

Defeated! The Solar Flames knew he had no chance of recovering.

What can a Dao Fusion achieve without Dao force to drive?

But even if he were to die, he would face the enemy head-on!

Suddenly standing upright, within his vision, the pursuing Lu Ye's reflection was cast in his pupils, the Solar Flames merely gazed quietly at him and watched as he swung his saber.

Blood splattered, and a head flew off.

Not until Lu Ye passed by the remains of the Solar Flames did he realize that this final adversary had been slain.

He looked back, just in time to see the remains of the Solar Flames dissipating.

Is it over?

Lu Ye stood in place, feeling puzzled. It stood to reason that if it had really ended, he should feel something special upon becoming the Star Abyss Heir, but in truth, he felt nothing.

Could there be other enemies lurking?

But no matter what, even if there were enemies, they couldn't be stronger than the Solar Flames, and he could simply find them and kill them when the time comes.

The Void Dao Runes underfoot manifested; Lu Ye's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot, reappearing by his doppelganger.

A weakened Su Yan looked at him, eyes full of inquiry, and Lu Ye nodded slightly.

Su Yan, however, did not show the expected joy, and her eyes became complicated, as if there was something difficult to decide.

Lu Ye found it strange and was about to inquire when suddenly his heart tightened, and he hurriedly turned to look aside because he didn't know when a figure had appeared beside him!

But upon seeing who it was, Lu Ye relaxed.

Qi...

Ever since the start of this struggle, Qi had stood quietly at the center of Baiyu Platform, but now suddenly came over here.

Lu Ye flickered slightly, stood in front of Su Yan with subtle vigilance, and clasped his hands, saying, "Venerable Saint, what guidance do you have?"

He didn't know what situation this Qi was in; calling her a living person, she seemed like a dead one, yet calling her dead, she showed signs of life.

Qi still wore that strange mask, her true appearance hidden, but a voice devoid of any emotion came from beneath the mask, "The struggle ends here. Both of you are now the Star Abyss Heirs. I can send you back to your original places."

So that's the case. No wonder Qi came over; this was a good thing. He had always worried about one issue, which was how to return now that the struggle was over.

Lu Ye did not know how vast the Star Abyss was, but if he was arbitrarily left somewhere within it, that would be troublesome because he might not find a way back.

Now it seemed that this Qi was quite reliable, actually willing to send him back to his original place, saving him a lot of trouble.

However, if she could indeed accomplish such a task, her power would be truly terrifying.

Just as he was contemplating this, Qi added, "But it is limited to one location!"

Lu Ye was taken aback for a moment, then immediately reacted, couldn't help but ask, "Venerable Saint, can't you send us back to our respective locations?"

He hailed from Banlan, and as for Su Yan, Lu Ye wasn't sure, but it was certainly not the same place. According to Qi's statement, they would have to stick together, either go to Banlan or Su Yan's place, with no other options.

Lu Ye certainly wasn't willing to go to Su Yan's place. Although their cooperation had been quite good during this time, if he really went with Su Yan, what would become of Banlan? And the stellar space?

Su Yan likely wouldn't be willing to go with him either.

This is troublesome.

Qi remained silent, as if he hadn't heard.

Lu Ye bowed: "Venerable Saint, please make an exception. After all, we come from different places. Now that the contention has ended, naturally we should return to where we belong."

To be honest, they were brought here without any warning by the Will of the Star Abyss. Now that the Star Abyss Heir has emerged, they should be sent back; things should be done with a beginning and an end.

But when strength is inferior, reasoning doesn't work, so one must resort to kind words.

Qi continued to show no response.

"Senior Brother Lu." Su Yan spoke weakly from the side, "I will go with you."

Lu Ye was taken aback and turned to look at her: "Junior Sister, have you thought it through."

Su Yan merely kept her head down, her expression unclear, yet her tone was firm: "I will go with you."

Is she homeless or having a dispute with her family? Lu Ye pondered secretly.

But if Su Yan was willing to go with him, then there was no issue; as he only needed to return to Banlan to get back to the stellar space!

"Venerable Saint, please send us to where I came from!" Lu Ye spoke, casually retrieving his Talent Tree Avatar.

Su Yan stepped two paces forward, standing beside him.

Qi finally responded: "As you wish!"

While speaking, he raised both hands, pointed a finger toward the foreheads of Lu Ye and Su Yan, an ethereal glow encircling his fingertips.

Lu Ye couldn't discern what that glow was, and instinctively wanted to dodge.

But Qi's movement was clearly slow, yet he failed to evade.

A slight warmth on his forehead, Lu Ye then felt himself struck by a tremendous force, his body swaying backward, as if plummeting into a boundless abyss, sinking deeper endlessly.

Everything around transformed into bizarre and colorful rays, traversing endlessly.

Only Su Yan beside him, continuously stood calmly.

A strong hand gripped him, as Su Yan held onto him; she seemed a bit anxious. After all, she had exhausted all her Dao force, leaving her mind also exhausted, under such circumstances, there wasn't much sense of security.

Realizing this, Lu Ye gently gripped her hand, offering a bit of reassurance.

Suddenly, all the eccentricities around vanished, the rapid falling halted, and the surroundings became clear.

Lu Ye quickly turned to observe, but in the next moment, his expectancy changed.

This isn't Banlan!

The scenery within Banlan's stellar space is quite distinctive, extremely colorful and splendid, but the surroundings here don't correspond to Banlan at all.

Most crucially, he could sense the position of Banlan, far behind him, as he had refined Banlan's core before, he was barely considered the Banlan master, thus as the master, he could naturally sense where this Dao soldier was located.

That Qi... deceived him!

Previously he mentioned he could send them back, yet he sent them here, distant from Banlan.

However, Lu Ye quickly realized that Qi might not have deceived him, since Banlan has been in a state of drifting, where it appeared could be the initial location of Banlan.

But after such a long time, Banlan has long since drifted far away.

If that's the case, then it's not a major issue, he just needs to trace and catch up to Banlan.

But in reconsideration, this grand contention for the Star Abyss Heir turned out somewhat anticlimactic, as Lu Ye didn't feel any peculiar transformation himself.

He is the Star Abyss Heir now? Yet hasn't gained any tangible benefits...

While pondering this, the warmth at his forehead suddenly expanded, swiftly flowing throughout his body.

The Talent Tree at this moment responded more intensely than ever before!

Lu Ye suddenly felt his body growing hot, inexplicable emotions surged within him, deep within his soul, dormant desires suddenly amplified enormously.

"Senior Brother Lu..." A slightly breathy voice reached Lu Ye's ears from beside.

Lu Ye slowly turned his head, his vision was imprinted with an enchanting visage like a blossoming flower.

Su Yan's eyes glistened as she gazed at him, a blush had spread across her cheeks unknowingly, her red lips parted, appearing so alluring to Lu Ye.

His throat felt parched, instinctively sensing something amiss!

Su Yan was undoubtedly a beauty, Lu Ye wasn't blind, he could obviously tell, but honestly, during their time together, he had never harbored any inappropriate thoughts toward her, they were merely collaborators.

Yet at this moment, his heart was restless.

The two of them had been holding hands the entire time, as Su Yan's voice echoed, Lu Ye felt his hand gripped even tighter.

"We've... been meddled with!" Su Yan's body trembled slightly, evidently striving to endure something.

Lu Ye too realized this.

He recalled Qi's light tap on both of them before departure.

And the warmth between his brows just now was undoubtedly the power hidden within that tap erupting.
