Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1744 - 1742: Three Realms Island’s Trump Card

The fierce battle of the two high-class Spirit Islands was raging, as observing cultivators watched intently and exchanged opinions privately.

Moon Jade, who was with Brother Woo, spoke, "Three Worlds Island talks a big game, but I thought they had some trump card. At this rate, I'm afraid that Three Worlds Island will end up with a crushing defeat."

Brother Woo nodded and said, "Yes, although it looks evenly matched on the surface, Baiyue Island still holds the advantage. They can rely on the island's setup for defense, which doesn't consume much of their power. In contrast, every attack from Three Worlds Island drains their strength. Over time, Three Worlds Island might not be able to hold on."

"Youthful arrogance," Moon Jade slowly shook her head, "I see that Lu Ye is quite young, so it might not be a bad thing for him to suffer a setback. Next time he speaks, he won't sound so overconfident."

Not only Moon Jade but almost all the other observing cultivators shared this sentiment, thinking that Three Worlds Island had bitten off more than they could chew. In hindsight, when Gu Chuan was present just now, Three Worlds Island might have been better off agreeing to his terms, at least they could have gained some benefits.

The current stalemate meant that the Three Worlds cultivators might not be able to conquer Baiyue's central hub. Instead, their own Three Worlds Island had been overrun, a situation that could only be described as dire.

On the battlefield, Lu Ye stood shoulder to shoulder with several Moon Jades from Three Worlds Island. Throughout the assault on the central hub, they had not taken action; it was the Constellations of the island that were striving. It wasn't that they didn't want to act, but rather they needed to conserve their strength.

"It's about time," Luan Xiao'e suddenly said.

Lu Ye slightly nodded, then turned to the side, "Giant Armor!"

The Moon Jades from Three Worlds weren't the only ones who hadn't participated in the battle; Giant Armor hadn't joined either.

Nobody expected that Giant Armor, currently only at the Constellation Early Stage, would be the decisive factor in this attack-defense battle. To catch the enemy off guard, Lu Ye had specifically instructed Giant Armor not to reveal a certain ability during the previous assault on the Baiyue's island-protecting array.

It was all for this moment!

As Giant Armor stepped forward, Lu Ye's mana surged. The fiery red power spread out like burning flames, enveloping a vast area, covering both Giant Armor and all the Moon Jades on his side.

Mana flowing, countless complex Yin-Yang Dual Origins quickly formed, interlocking and integrating. In the blink of an eye, a gigantic As-Close-As-Siblings Spirit Rune took shape.

The As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc is only suitable for use by Constellations and doesn't meet the needs of Moon Jade in combat. However, if Lu Ye constructed the As-Close-As-Siblings Spirit Runes himself and maintained them, there wouldn't be a problem.

Of course, doing so would consume a lot of his mana and was only suitable for certain specific scenarios, like this moment. It wouldn't be convenient to do so in a truly chaotic combat situation.

With the spirit runes constructed, the energies of the people were connected. The five Moon Jades merely sustained the mana, without leading.

Giant Armor let out a roar, the flesh on his body writhing intensely, as a violent surge of blood Qi soared into the sky. The entire world seemed to turn blood red for a moment, leaving countless observing cultivators in a daze.

In the next instant, the surroundings were shocked!

Because a colossal array formation suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and it was a Black Tortoise Array.

In fact, there were already many Black Tortoise Arrays on the battlefield, formed by Three Worlds cultivators using the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc to fend off counterattacks from Baiyue's central hub, as this array focused mainly on defense.

However, the Black Tortoise Array formed with Giant Armor at its core and five Moon Jades as support was clearly different from the other Black Tortoise Arrays.

Firstly, in terms of size, the newly formed Black Tortoise Array was gigantic compared to the others, like a grandfather compared to his grandson.

Secondly, the texture was distinct.

The Black Tortoise Arrays formed by Constellations manifested externally in the shape of a Black Tortoise, looking quite realistic.

But the new Black Tortoise Array not only looked legitimate; it resembled a living creature, complete with flesh and blood, four limbs with clear markings, and even the crisscrossing grooves on its carapace vividly depicted.

Long ago, Lu Ye discovered that the Black Tortoise Array led by Giant Armor differed significantly from those formed by others, likely due to Giant Armor himself. In his early years, he acquired something akin to a demonic pill on the Spirit Stream battlefield. Lu Ye had speculated that the pill was a Black Tortoise demonic pill, and with Giant Armor's extraordinary talent, it enhanced his prowess tremendously.

Teaming up with Constellations already showcased Giant Armor's power, but now with five Moon Jades supporting him, the resulting Black Tortoise Array left even Lu Ye himself in awe.

Giant Armor's roar never ceased, not just to boost morale, but because the immense pressure was excruciating for him.

His cultivation was ultimately too low. Even if he were at the Constellation Late Stage, the pressure he would endure in forming such an array would still be substantial, but he was still only at Constellation Early Stage.

Had he not been a physique cultivator, with his exceptional talent, the pressure from forming the array could instantly claim his life.

Even so, this state could not be maintained for long, at most for 5 breaths!

When the enormous Black Tortoise Array emerged, Yu Huan and Jiang Jiao realized immediately the gravity of the situation. They weren't particularly tense earlier, as the central hub's defenses could still hold, hoping that Three Worlds Island would retreat in the face of difficulty. But now, feeling the terrifying might of the gigantic Black Tortoise Array, they lost confidence.

Thus, Yu Huan ordered without hesitation, unleashing all their attacks from the central hub towards the massive Black Tortoise.

Due to its colossal size, the Black Tortoise's movements appeared sluggish, making it impossible to dodge the enemy's counterattacks.

Just then, another figure shot out across the air, none other than Mong Jie from the Nine Provinces, placing himself alone between Baiyue's thousand cultivators and the enormous Black Tortoise, appearing fragile and insignificant.

Then he reached out and flipped his hand, took out a golden conch, and blew it by his mouth.

The Three Worlds Island has a good relationship with the Merfolk, and with Lu Ye's green sea conch, the cultivators from Three Worlds have almost all gone to the Merfolk Territory, entering the Divine Conch Hall in batches, trying to seek opportunities.

Some gained nothing, while others benefited from it.

The conchs from the Divine Conch Hall have a thousand strange effects; some are of no great use, but some can play a crucial role at key moments.

Like this moment!

As Mong Jie sounded his golden sea conch, the phantom of a conch suddenly appeared, enveloping him.

The conch sound continued incessantly, and more figures were darting towards him, rushing into that conch phantom; with every additional person, the conch phantom solidified and enlarged.

This is the power of Mong Jie's golden sea conch; it can accommodate many cultivators, the more it accommodates, the larger its volume, the stronger the protection. It's like Mong Jie, using the power of the golden sea conch, integrating the strength of many cultivators into a shield.

Of course, there is a limit to this accommodation and integration, which is related to Mong Jie's own strength.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred people dashed into the conch phantom.

The conch, which originally barely wrapped Mong Jie, now became immensely colossal, and the entire conch was extremely solid, as if real, keeping the Black Tortoise Array at bay.

The attacks launched from the Central Hub were all blocked by this enormous conch, just causing fissures all over its surface.

The sudden change left all observing cultivators dumbfounded, with huge questions flashing in their minds.

What is that?

What is this?

Since Giant Armor and five Moon Jade from Three Worlds Island together formed the Black Tortoise Array, the development of the situation has been baffling.

The subsequent appearance of the gigantic conch was even more unheard of.

But whether the gigantic Black Tortoise or the appearance of the conch, it all made people realize that the strong offensive of Three Worlds Island against Baiyue was not without backup; these two things were the backup of Three Worlds Island!

A round of counterattack from Baiyue's Central Hub made the gigantic conch tremble violently, with cracks spreading all over.

When the second wave of attack came, the conch completely shattered, and the over a hundred cultivators inside, Three Worlds cultivators, each spat blood, falling like paper kites all around, especially Mong Jie, who activated the conch's power, with his face pale as paper and his breath extremely weak.

Though their appearance was miserable, they completed their task, helping the Black Tortoise behind withstand these two powerful offensives.

The prepared healing cultivators, led by Shui Yuan and Hua Ci, hurried forward to retrieve people, quickly starting to treat them.

At the same time, after the conch shattered, the massive outline of the Black Tortoise hidden behind it became evident, already pressing towards the Central Hub.

A giant shadow loomed, causing nearly a thousand Baiyue cultivators to see no light.

"Kill! Kill it!" Yu Huan roared, channeling mana to strike the Black Tortoise, inside the Central Hub, power fluctuations arose and fell, dense attacks ready to unleash.

At the tortoise head of the Black Tortoise, the skin of Giant Armor cracked like a stubborn stone, enduring for a mere few breaths before he couldn't hold it, but fortunately at the critical moment, a light song sounded by his ear, a song that Giant Armor had never heard, but seemed to contain a mysterious force when it entered his ears, a layer of blue light rippled from his body as the song flowed in.

Giant Armor felt the pressure suddenly lessen, his physique greatly strengthened in an instant.

He understood that this was Yann Miao assisting him, and that magical song was the unique talent of the Merfolk Race.

Seizing the moment before the enemy's attack fully launched, Giant Armor roared, lifting his right arm, while the right front claw of the gigantic Black Tortoise swiftly rose.

Then slammed down hard!

Who said the Black Tortoise Array can only... defend?

Inside the Central Hub's protection, whether Yu Huan or Jiang Jiao, or those numerous Moon Jade, their eyes reflected the fearsome slam, their minds went blank, only feeling all the blood in their bodies turn cold.

With one strike, Spirit Island shook, visible impacts spread from the strike point in all directions, even cultivators watching hundreds of miles away had their clothes fluttering, hair flying.
