As the fleet set out for the battlefield, Lu Ye returned to the Nine Provinces' starboat and found Lann Qiyue, cautioning her, "Rember, never activate the Blood Race's secret techniques; just disguise as a human cultivating Blood Path Secret Techniques."
Ordinary Blood Race mbers can hardly disguise as humans because even their outward characteristics differ, but Lann Qiyue was different from typical Blood Race; she was initially human and accidentally refined a drop of Sacred Blood, thus transforming into Blood Race.
Before Constellation, she always appeared as Blood Race, but upon advancing to Constellation, her body seed to undergo so miraculous changes, allowing her to transform back to her original human form.
If not for this, Lu Ye wouldn't dare bring Lann Qiyue on this journey to the All Phenona Ocean.
After all, the reputation of the Blood Race and Insect Race in the stellar space wasn't good; they were almost like street rats everyone wanted to chase away, so even in All Phenona Ocean, a place that accepts all kinds, you rarely see cultivators from these two races.
At the very least, in all of Lu Ye's years at All Phenona Ocean, apart from that one auction at the Constellation Palace where the array disc had mbers of the Blood Race and Insect Race participating, he'd never seen these two races outside.
However, it's said that so Blood Race mbers have cultivated a peculiar secret technique that can conceal their Blood Race features, disguising as humans.
Thus, All Phenona Ocean may not be without the active presence of Blood Race, just that they are all well-hidden, not daring to easily reveal themselves.
This reminder, Lu Ye had already told Lann Qiyue once before leaving Nine Provinces, and if not for Lann Qiyue being able to hide her Blood Race characteristics, Lu Ye wouldn't dare to take her to All Phenona Ocean.
Lann Qiyue nodded earnestly, "I've rembered it, Senior Brother!"
Soon, under the guidance of that Indeterminate Moon Jade, the fleet entered the battlefield, and as previously agreed, the cultivators on each starboat were arranged to help on a battleship.
Quickly, the cultivators from sixteen starboats from Three Worlds were arranged properly, while the remaining five Tiger Sharks were left alone; Kang Cheng had them as mobile support, leaving them to act as they pleased, and that Moon Jade also distributed quite a few spirit jades, pleasing the cultivators within the Tiger Shark battleships imnsely.
Luan Xiao'e stayed on one battleship, waiting; her cultivation at Moon Jade Late-Stage didn't require her to do the sa as the Constellation cultivators, which would be sowhat wasteful.
She would naturally be needed when the insect hive defenses were broken, and hand-to-hand combat was engaged.
Lu Ye and a group of people close to him were on the sa battleship, not arranged for any tasks, thus allowing free movent; evidently, that Indeterminate Moon Jade who brought them had given so secret instructions, hence this special treatnt.
He wandered around, and suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Brother Lu!"
Lu Ye turned to look and saw it was Xu Dingyang calling him. Previously, he had so discord with this person, who even tead up with Kang Cheng to make trouble, but ended up failing.
Later, Lu Ye went to Indeterminate World himself to discuss advancing to All Phenona Ocean with Jyang Shang; combined with the protection from Sun Blaze by his side, even Kang Cheng treated him courteously, not to ntion Xu Dingyang, who didn't dare to show himself.
Seeing him now, Xu Dingyang's expression was slightly awkward, yet he still braved the awkwardness to greet Lu Ye.
No other reason, Kang Cheng specifically advised him earlier to make sure to resolve the previous disagreent with Lu Ye if possible, since he too would be joining the group heading to All Phenona Ocean.
"So it's Brother Xu!" Lu Ye nodded slightly, stepping forward, discovering that Xu Dingyang seed to be responsible for an assault magic array on the battleship, complex to an extre; even with Lu Ye's achievents in the Array Path, he could only grasp so basics, and in the Array Eye position was placed a sharp tool resembling a dragon head, pointed directly towards the insect hive, yet its purpose remained unclear.
Seeing his curious gaze, Xu Dingyang said, "If Brother Lu is interested, feel free to try it!"
Lu Ye was surprised, "Can I?"
He indeed had so interest in this because the attacks from a large battleship can match the might of a Moon Jade cultivator's strike; he was still a distance from Moon Jade, but personally experiencing it ahead seed intriguing.
"No problem." Xu Dingyang said, stepping aside.
Lu Ye stood up, guided by Xu Dingyang's detailed instructions, quickly understanding the underlying principles.
Ultimately, it was about harnessing the array's power, then activating the Array Eye's strength to launch a long-range strike at the insect hive.
However, the energy consumption for activating the array was substantial, so relying solely on his own energy wasn't feasible; this not only involved consuming a vast amount of spirit jade but also other energies transmitted through several auxiliary arrays.
Nowadays, Three Worlds cultivators mostly perford these tasks, each supplying energy to auxiliary arrays, trying to conserve spirit jade consumption.
Otherwise, relying solely on spirit jade to power this tool would be costly.
Lu Ye stood within the array, hugging the dragon-head-like tool, pouring his ntal Consciousness inside, targeting the huge insect hive in the distance, quietly feeling the energy accumulating within the array, waiting for a good opportunity.
A long ti passed before Lu Ye felt the energy accumulation was almost done, causing the whole array to start humming.
Xu Dingyang also spoke beside him, "Now's the ti, Brother Lu!"
Lu Ye quickly harnessed the enormous energy, activating the array's power, then the dragon-head tool he embraced began to vibrate.
Accompanied by a loud humming noise, Lu Ye felt a shock all over his body and then saw a bright beam of light shoot out from the dragon's head, instantly landing on the insect hive, causing ripples to spread across its surface.
"Impressive!" Lu Ye sighed with emotion, looking out at the stellar space. thods that can allow a Constellation to unleash Moon Jade power are rare, with starboats being the most common. The force of that strike, he perceived clearly, was almost equivalent to a full-force move from a Moon Jade Mid-Stage.
And this might just be the result of cooperation among twenty to thirty Constellations.
However, although this thod can manifest Moon Jade power, it is ultimately not a Moon Jade's action, hence it appears sowhat rigid, and it takes a long ti to gather montum—an inherent flaw of starboats. Thus, starboats are generally used for besieging and storming fortifications, and the current battle situation is most appropriate for the deploynt of starboats.
This large starboat of the Indeterminate World likely isn't the best; those most extre large starboats can unleash power comparable to Moon Jade Late Stage.
In the next half day, Lu Ye tried to activate it several tis, indulging in the thrill, before finally walking out.
Though activating this thing is interesting, the power ultimately doesn't belong to oneself, so after rely experiencing it, it's done.
The protection around the insect hive is visibly weakening; the brightness of the light curtain is gradually dimming. If this situation continues to develop, the protection of the insect hive could be broken within ten days to half a month.
This battle is almost devoid of suspense.
Yet, at a certain mont three days later, Lu Ye, watching, was stunned to witness the protection outside the insect hive suddenly dispersing on its own.
He was startled, but soon realized that the Insect Race probably knew they could no longer resist, and were likely preparing for a desperate final assault.
After all, continuing like this was rely waiting for death. It would be better to counterattack now, to kill one would be worthwhile, to kill two would be a profit.
Almost at the instant the insect hive's protection disappeared, overwhelming dark clouds floated out from the hive, dispersing rapidly in all directions.
The myriad dark clouds of varying sizes were conspicuously composed of insect pall, with so even carrying the aura of Moon Jade.
Outside the encirclent, the assault from the starboat fleet of the four galaxies suddenly intensified, and under the multicolored bombardnts, patches of insect pall suffered damage, yet the insect pall seed endless, continuously emanating from the hive.
Judging by the formation, the Insect Race seed intent on deploying all their forces.
Even aboard the battleship, Lu Ye sensed two auras of Sun Blaze experts rising from within the insect hive, which clearly belonged to the two Sun Blaze of the Insect Race.
Simultaneously, from the direction of the Indeterminate's super-large battleship, five figures darted out almost simultaneously, their imposing might shining upon the stellar space like the big sun.
Lu Ye sensed this and imdiately turned his gaze, recognizing them as the five Sun Blaze experts from the four galaxies.
After a brief contemplation, he quickly understood why these five were so eager to take action.
Sun Blaze skirmishes cause excessively intense residual waves, so they must block the two Sun Blaze of the Insect Race inside the insect hive, preventing them from escaping. Otherwise, once the Sun Blaze battlefield spreads, the starboat fleet of the four galaxies would inevitably suffer losses.
Restricting the battlefield within the insect hive is the wisest decision.
This had presumably been pre-discussed by Ning Bu'ao and the others, hence the decisive action upon the disappearance of the insect hive's protection.
The five figures advanced against the insect pall, slaughtering nurous Insect Race mbers along the way amid a bloody haze.
In a flash, those five reached the front of the insect hive, where one suddenly halted, and the other four retained their montum, crashing into the interior of the hive.
Lu Ye observed from afar and found that the one remaining outside the hive was none other than the female Sun Blaze, Li Guan, who at this mont wielded a longsword with a chilling sword light.
Clearly, she remained here not to watch the show but to prevent any Sun Blaze of the Insect Race from fleeing.
The four Sun Blaze charged into the hive, facing rely two Insect Race experts, each pair fighting against one should eliminate any chance of failure.
Thus, her presence made little difference.
But should any Sun Blaze of the Insect Race sense trouble and attempt to escape, she could intercept outside.
The area where she stood instantly beca a forbidden land; swarms of Insect Race swept past her from afar, never daring to look at her, while she fixated her ntal Consciousness firmly on the situation inside the hive, those insects dared not provoke her.
Aboard the battleship, Lu Ye watched this scene, realizing the final showdown had arrived, and imdiately braced himself.
Though the Insect Race sustained nurous casualties from the relentless assaults upon erging from the hive, their numbers were exceedingly vast, and the battleship's attack net could only obliterate a small portion. anwhile, the majority advanced toward various battleships.
Aboard each battleship, virtually all cultivators were intensely focused, knowing that the mont of close combat had co!
