Sage of Humanity Chapter 1669 - 1667: Galactic Pirate Group

In Lu Ye's original plan, after escorting Lih Shang back to the ancestral land, he would return to the All Phenona Galaxy, traverse an Insect Path, reach a place called the Three Saints Galaxy, then pass through the Three Saints Galaxy to arrive at the Grotto Void Galaxy.

If he really went that way, it would definitely take a lot of ti. However, coming from the Soul Race ancestral land allowed direct access to Grotto Void, making the difference obvious.

But Grotto Void Galaxy… Lu Ye vaguely felt it sounded familiar and, upon reflection, recalled that when he and Tang Jun inadvertently drifted into the All Phenona Galaxy years ago, they sought intelligence and encountered a cultivator from the Grotto Void Galaxy who claid to co from the ancient icy world.

Moreover, it seed there was also a Grotto Void Island on the All Phenona Ocean.

Occupying a Spirit Island in a place like the All Phenona Ocean, the native forces of Grotto Void Galaxy should not be weak, at least having a Sun Blaze stationed there.

In such an unfamiliar place, Lu Ye naturally acted low-key, journeying alone on a starboat, quietly proceeding forward.

According to the star map, at his current pace, he would only need another month to leave the range of Grotto Void Galaxy and enter that desolate star region.

However, after reaching that side, he would still need to travel so distance to reach the location of the Yin-Yang Great Millstone.

While on the journey, Lu Ye didn't stay idle, splitting his focus to refine his own treasure blood. Currently, he has three drops of this peculiar thing, but with its many wondrous uses, more is always better.

Lu Ye could feel that, with his current power, gathering more treasure blood was becoming increasingly challenging, possibly related to his own foundation.

But it's better than doing nothing while traveling. Unable to enter the azure palace within the barghest for refining, he could only refine treasure blood.

The journey was peaceful, and a month later, Lu Ye checked the star map in his hand and indeed had left the Grotto Void Galaxy.

The star map the woman gave him was not much use beyond this point because it only encompassed Grotto Void without indications beyond that star system. However, having reached here and gotten a general direction, Lu Ye felt finding the Yin-Yang Great Millstone shouldn't be difficult. After all, this stellar marvel was said to be massive and could be seen from afar.

In fact, several days ago, Lu Ye had already sensed the desolation in the nearby stellar space. This desolation was not just due to the absence of people or domain marks but even the normally perceptible stellar energy was more sparse than usual.

This situation beca more apparent the further he went.

Lu Ye vaguely guessed it was related to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone.

This stellar marvel is slowly growing, and growth naturally requires nourishnt, just like plants need water and sunlight. The growth of a stellar marvel definitely relies on stellar energy.

The sparseness was because it was being consud by the Yin-Yang Great Millstone.

So, theoretically, as long as he followed this trace, Lu Ye could easily find the Yin-Yang Great Millstone.

Looking from this perspective, the future of Grotto Void Galaxy is worriso. If the Yin-Yang Great Millstone keeps growing like this, it will eventually engulf Grotto Void's territory, and not just Grotto Void—all star systems near this stellar marvel would suffer unless so great power changes the current situation.

But who can stop the growth of a stellar marvel? Right now, there might not be a big problem, but what about thousands or tens of thousands of years later?

This isn't sothing Lu Ye needs to worry about; he only suddenly thought of this layer. Grotto Void has Sun Blaze—this is sothing for them to worry about.

Entering the desolate star region, he continued steadily forward for half a month.

On this day, while Lu Ye was distractedly refining his treasure blood, he suddenly furrowed his brows, gazing ahead as the speed of the starboat quickly decreased and soon stopped.

Although there was nothing visible ahead, he had the persistent feeling that sothing was not quite right.

Upon careful observation, he found nothing unusual, but that unsettling feeling didn't vanish.

With spirit force activated, intricate patterns imdiately covered his eyes, enhanced by Insight.

The next mont, Lu Ye's expression tightened because, under the Insight Spirit Runes re-developed from the Talent Tree, he vaguely saw a massive shadow ahead, spherical in shape, enveloping a vast expanse of stellar space!

Formation!

This place had been set with a big array by soone, and the array setter's attainnt in the Array Path was very high, thus even though he sensed sothing off initially, he couldn't discern anything unusual; even now, with Insight Spirit Runes aiding him, he couldn't perceive too much detail.

He could only be sure that the vast expanse of stellar space ahead was shrouded by a mysterious big array.

Without a second thought, Lu Ye urgently propelled the starboat, turning around to escape.

No matter what ominous purpose this array serves or who set it, staying away from here was certainly the correct choice. Luckily, he sensed sothing, or else crashing into it, alerting the array setter, would only make things worse.

Anyone capable of setting up such an array is at least a Moon Jade, and not an ordinary one at that.

But as he began to move, ripples suddenly erged in the Void behind him, followed by the sudden manifestation of a giant palm, grabbing towards Lu Ye like a chick in hand.

The palm shadow was enormous, purely condensed from mana. Sensing the ferocious fluctuations within the palm shadow, Lu Ye's expression turned grim as he realized the one attacking him was a Moon Jade Late Stage!

Don't be misled by the fact he's killed a Sun Blaze and several Moon Jades—they were achieved under specific, exceptional circumstances, essentially irreproducible. Neither Sun Blaze nor Moon Jade slayings reflect his true strength; each had too many elents of luck.

Facing a sudden encounter with a Moon Jade Late Stage, how could Lu Ye be their opponent?

The starry sky... is indeed dangerous. Even though he's not new and has been roaming the starry sky for several years, he can still feel the powerlessness of weakness.

A shadowy hand descended, covering the heavens and the earth, with such fierce and overwhelming mana fluctuations that even Lu Ye felt as if he was being weighed down by a massive mountain.

Even the trajectory of the starboat showed signs of stagnation.

The starboat, while much faster than a cultivator's own flight after accelerating, regardless of its performance, requires a process to speed up.

Unexpectedly attacked, Lu Ye knew it was no longer possible to evade using the starboat, so he imdiately stowed away the spirit ark, activated his spirit force, and executed the Brazen Plundering Technique.

The Brazen Plundering Technique passed down from Yien Xi not only has great advantages in combat but also in escape, especially in dealing with this current situation.

In a thrilling mont, he narrowly slipped through the fingers of that shadowy hand.

"Oh?" A slightly surprised voice sounded, clearly not expecting that a Moon Jade Late Stage's personal action didn't imdiately capture a Constellation.

However, as the voice echoed, the shadowy hand suddenly flipped its palm.

At this mont, Lu Ye was about to self-detonate his treasure blood, intending to use the Blood Race's Blood Escape Technique to flee this place...

Although treasure blood is precious, at this mont, it couldn't be cared about. To get away from here, the Blood Race's Blood Escape Technique was the top priority. This escape technique is rapid, perhaps giving him a chance to escape this place of trouble.

However, before he could self-detonate, with the flipping shadowy hand, Lu Ye's mind turned upside down, as if the hand indeed had the power to overturn the heavens and the earth.

In an instant of bewildernt, Lu Ye regained his senses, but now it was too late to self-detonate his treasure blood. The shadowy hand closed, suddenly contracting into a large net, firmly entrapping him!

Lu Ye felt his spirit force suppressed within his body, unable to activate.

A chill ran through his heart.

It was over.

With his spirit force immobilized, he couldn't even use his strongest trump card, the red talisman.

The starry sky... is too dangerous; the strength of a Constellation is still too weak, leaving Lu Ye feeling sowhat lancholic.

However, he wasn't too panicked because he didn't sense any killing intent from the attacker. If a Moon Jade Late Stage truly intended to kill, they wouldn't have acted in the way they did earlier.

Trapped within that magic net, Lu Ye was dragged towards the position where he had previously sensed a Formation enveloping the area. Only monts later, it was as if he had collided with an invisible barrier.

His vision cleared, and the surrounding scenery was completely different from what he had just seen.

But before Lu Ye could take in the sight, he was dragged to a place, and the magic net that restrained him disappeared. He dared not make any reckless moves because an extrely powerful ntal Consciousness was locking onto him.

He raised his eyes and saw an old man with a sinister face standing not far away, staring coldly at him. The man, with his white hair and black robe, looked unremarkable, but the power fluctuations around him unmistakably displayed his formidable Moon Jade Late Stage strength.

No doubt, the person who had attacked Lu Ye earlier was this old man.

Beside the old man were several figures, but what made Lu Ye frown slightly was the complex identities of these figures. There were humans like him, mbers of the Fla Race enveloped in flas, the Demon Race shrouded in Demonic Qi, and even a giant from the Giant Race towering at ten feet tall.

Lu Ye even saw mbers of the Insect Race mixed among them.

This combination was undoubtedly strange, and when he turned his head to look around, Lu Ye was startled, realizing what kind of group he had encountered.

A galactic pirate group!

This is a group dedicated to marauding in the starry sky, even plundering domains, lawless and wanton in their wicked acts.

In the All Phenona Galaxy, there are embryonic forms of galactic pirate groups, small gangs marauding outside, but due to environntal constraints, they gather only in small scales, so they are just rudintary forms and don't dare to flaunt their flags, operating stealthily.

But in the real stellar space, these galactic pirate groups are rampant and rampant.

Generally speaking, the mbers of a galactic pirate group co from extrely complex backgrounds and are mostly vile and notorious people. Apart from galactic pirate groups, it's hard for Lu Ye to believe any organization in the world has such a complex composition.

To actually encounter a galactic pirate group and even be captured by them!

If they continued to restrain him with that magic net, Lu Ye truly had no ability to resist. However, seeing that he was not strong, they were clearly sowhat off guard. At this mont, he had regained the ability to activate the red talisman.

But there are signs when activating the red talisman, and against a Moon Jade Late Stage, Lu Ye wasn't confident about achieving a one-hit kill.

The thods of the galactic pirates are very cruel. They captured him without killing him, but why?

Moreover, why would such a group co to this place and discreetly set up a large Formation to conceal a vast stretch of stellar space? What are they planning? Lu Ye had many questions, but at this mont, he just wanted to quickly find a way to escape from here.
