All along, when upgrading the Boulder Mountain Saber, Lu Ye had always demanded it be heavy enough, so it would be convenient for him to slay enemies. As for its sharpness, he didn't care, because he could enhance it with spirit runes.
In an environnt like the Nine Provinces, each ti the Boulder Mountain Saber was upgraded, it could keep up with his cultivation progress and et his needs for combat.
But it's different once he entered the stellar space, especially after encountering so powerful enemies. Lu Ye discovered that the Boulder Mountain Saber was not sharp enough to effectively harm enemies, especially those with strong physiques. Even if he enhanced it with Divine Sharp Edge, it still perford unsatisfactorily.
The battle with the Blood Hero of the Blood Race was the best example.
It's not that Lu Ye had high demands, but a cultivator's enemy won't always be in the sa realm as them. Traveling through the stellar space, he would inevitably encounter those stronger than himself. With Lu Ye's current strength, within the sa realm, the previous Boulder Mountain Saber and Divine Sharp Edge were more than enough.
But Lu Ye's focus was not on Constellation, but on Moon Jade.
The Boulder Mountain Saber had reached the ultimate level of a spirit treasure, with no further room for improvent unless it were upgraded to a magic treasure. However, if it were upgraded to a magic treasure, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to activate its power with spirit force alone; this was a dead end.
The allegiance of the barghest ca at just the right ti.
Compared to before, the new Boulder Mountain Saber seed unchanged on the surface, but the difference was that it was extrely sharp!
Even the previous Boulder Mountain Saber enhanced with Divine Sharp Edge was not as sharp as the current one.
Now, supplented with Divine Sharp Edge, its sharpness reached new heights.
Just from previously slaying those Insect Race Constellations, one could tell that although in terms of physique the Insect Race is inferior to the Blood Race, their physical defenses surpass the Blood Race because each Insect Race had an extrely hard carapace covering their bodies. Even if they beca Constellations and transford into human forms, the carapace would still cover their bodies, forming a natural defense.
But even such a hard carapace, under the strike of the new Boulder Mountain Saber, was as fragile as paper, especially the Constellation Late Stage Insect Race that he killed with the first slash. The strength of the carapace defense was such that Lu Ye thought if it were the forr Boulder Mountain Saber enhanced with Divine Sharp Edge, even repeatedly slashing five tis might not break it; however, now just one slash did the job.
The new Boulder Mountain Saber, transford by the barghest, was worlds apart from the previous one in terms of sharpness.
This was Lu Ye's first battle after subduing the barghest, and he was undoubtedly very satisfied with the new Boulder Mountain Saber's demonstrated power.
That day in the battle with the Blood Hero, if he had wielded this Boulder Mountain Saber, he might not have needed Lih Shang to initiate a soul battle to slay him.
Lih Shang felt that the basis of Lu Ye's great enhancent in strength lay here. Under the sa strike, the damage Lu Ye could now cause was much more formidable than before.
The starboat continued forward, encountering no more Insect Race.
But both Lih Shang and Lu Ye could feel that the Insect Race hadn't given up; this was just the calm before the storm. Perhaps so unknown danger awaited them up ahead.
Or perhaps, Moon Jade or even Sun Blaze level Insect Race experts were pursuing them.
All the way in peace, ten days later, the rapidly flying starboat suddenly felt like it had crashed into an invisible wall, instantly facing enormous resistance!
The starboat shook, as if mired in a swamp; though still moving forward, its speed was visibly declining rapidly.
Under great inertia, Lu Ye's body uncontrollably lunged forward, along with Yaya and Lih Shang beside him.
Quick-eyed and deft-handed, Lu Ye caught Yaya into his arms, while Lih Shang decisively threw himself at Lu Ye, instantly casting the Soul Possession Secret Technique.
In an instant, Lu Ye felt his strength significantly enhanced, his five senses becoming acutely sharp, his thoughts more agile, and even the flow of his spirit force accelerated.
The starboat's speed slowed significantly, from maximum speed to a standstill in less than three breaths. In the next mont, attacks poured in from all directions like a torrential storm.
Lu Ye leaped out of the starboat, dodging the nurous attacks, and only upon steadying himself did he discern the situation in front of him.
There were many varying sizes of teorites nearby; in stellar space, such teorites were abundant, virtually countless and extrely commonplace.
However, at this mont, from the backs of these teorites, nurous Insect Race Constellations erged, having been ambushed here waiting for Lu Ye to pass by before making their sudden move.
On one of the massive teorites, there was also a furry spider. The spider's size was comparable to a city, almost occupying the entire teorite.
However, the aura of this spider was not strong, at most reaching the Constellation Late Stage standard. Lu Ye was slightly surprised, for the spider seed like an Insect Race but was not of Insect Race origin; it was a type of star beast.
This was probably a star beast tad by the Insect Race.
Where this spider star beast was positioned, there were innurable intertwining strands of web invisible to the naked eye.
Looking back at his starboat, Lu Ye finally saw what stopped the starboat: a giant web, woven in stellar space using surrounding teorites as nodes.
This thing is hard to notice unless you look closely. With the starboat speeding through, neither Lu Ye nor Lih Shang noticed it and crashed right into it, getting caught in the web.
There's the presence of Moon Jade.
Lu Ye coldly assessed and found that it should only be at Moon Jade Early Stage.
At this mont, that Moon Jade is also staring at Lu Ye, eyes cold and indifferent. To the Insect Race, there's nothing in this stellar space that cannot be killed; aside from being friendly with the Blood Race, every other species is their enemy.
Not to ntion Lu Ye has killed quite a few mbers of the Insect Race along the way.
He knows Lu Ye is only at Constellation Late Stage, depending entirely on the starboat to reach this place. Now that the starboat is stopped, it's naturally impossible for him to make any waves.
At this mont, he stares at Lu Ye, just casually waving his hand: "Kill him!"
As for Lu Ye's background or purpose, he couldn't care less.
With the order given, many Insect Race Constellations imdiately charged at Lu Ye.
In Lu Ye's arms, Yaya showed anger, seemingly about to make a move, but before she could, Lu Ye slapped her head lightly, saying calmly: "Stay calm!"
A Moon Jade Early Stage is not worth Yaya revealing herself.
Besides, in such an ambush, Lu Ye wanted to test the results of his recent cultivation.
Raising his hand, dozens of weapon controls shot in all directions, each one with considerable power.
However, these dozens of weapon controls did not have much effect. Aside from a few that injured so Insect Race Constellations, the others were dodged.
Lu Ye, holding Yaya in one hand and wielding a saber in the other, was enveloped in a light blood hue under the blessing of Lih Shang's Soul Possession, suddenly flashing like a blood light.
The blood light moved in a remarkably abnormal trajectory, almost instantaneously breaking through the encirclent of the Insect Race Constellations. The group of Insect Race Constellations couldn't even react, and suddenly one of them scread, followed by a spray of blood, body cleaved in two.
The Moon Jade from the Insect Race, who was coldly observing from the side, squinted in extre surprise at Lu Ye's figure because, just at that mont, even he couldn't grasp Lu Ye's trace.
Looking closely, he saw Lu Ye's figure swiftly move again, and what happened next was simply unbelievable to the Moon Jade of the Insect Race.
The human Constellation darted and dashed in the vast stellar space, silhouette flickering in and out, appearing ghost-like and elusive. Each ti he appeared, an Insect Race Constellation inevitably suffered misfortune, either being decapitated or sliced in two, screaming in agony.
Whether it's Constellation Early Stage, mid-stage, or Late Stage, none survived more than one strike when targeted, not even the Insect Race's prideful carapace protection could withstand the slashing power of the opponent.
The encirclent carefully prepared by the Insect Race over several days seed non-existent to him. He effortlessly found a flaw, broke out of the encirclent, and before the Insect Race Constellations could react, he ca back again, piercing through the encirclent.
The Moon Jade from the Insect Race watched, heart filled with shock, as in his eyes, this was not a brutal slaughter but more like a display of art. Even as the enemy, he had to admit that the way this human Constellation killed was extrely aesthetically pleasing.
Yet, amidst this aesthetically pleasing spectacle, life forces withered, chilling him to the bone.
The Moon Jade and Constellations were shocked, but Lu Ye's heart was filled with exhilaration.
The legacy within the barghest, he has only comprehended Qing Li's barghest tusks so far; he hasn't grasped the essence of Yien Xi's Brazen Plundering Technique, so he hasn't passed Yien Xi's test yet.
But nonetheless, during the battle, he felt the power of the Brazen Plundering Technique.
So useful, incredibly useful!
Previously, faced with such an encirclent, he had no other way but to carve a bloody path out, but now, relying on the not yet mature Brazen Plundering Technique, the Insect Race Constellations simply had no chance to strike back, just like when he first battled Yien Xi; those insects couldn't even grasp his silhouette.
Although the essence of the Brazen Plundering Technique was not fully grasped, Lu Ye could utilize the Void Spirit Runes from those weapon controls shot ahead to maneuver and plunder.
So compared to Yien Xi's fluid plundering, Lu Ye's plundering had a touch more spectral bewitchnt.
Back when witnessing the Brazen Plundering Technique of Yien Xi, Lu Ye guessed it was a ans specifically for dealing with ambushes, and now, upon testing it, it indeed proved effective.
"Destroy those weapon controls!" The Moon Jade from the Insect Race finally discerned so clues. Initially, he hadn't paid attention when Lu Ye released the weapon controls; in stellar space, who even plays with weapon control? But now he realized there were hidden ans within them.
With a command, he swiftly struck, sending those weapon controls flying or destroying them, then rushed into the battlefield, charging at Lu Ye.
He thought this ti wouldn't require him to act personally, but found it unavoidable. His side, despite their numbers, could not withstand such slaughter. If the killing continued, they would face total annihilation.
