As Liu Yuemei cast her spells, her murderous intent intensified.

 

Lu Ye was known for being able to kill stronger enemies. Their brief exchange of blows showed that he indeed lived up to his name. Therefore, she couldn’t let him keep growing his power. Otherwise, she would no longer be a match for him in a few years.

 

As the thoughts turned over in her mind, her moves became even more violent. She had no intention of finding out about how powerful Lu Ye truly was as her spells were meant to end his life in the shortest time possible. At that moment, the chasm was filled with spells. Claps of thunder were heard as several huge streaks of lightning struck.

 

The Sky Origin Clan was famous for producing Spell Cultivators, especially those of Lightning Attribute. Perhaps this had something to do with the most important treasure of their Clan, Destructive Lightning Spear.

 

Of all the Attributes in the Way of Spells, lightning spells were the most violent and fatal. Also, lightning spells could travel much faster than other kinds of spells.

 

Several flashes of lightning appeared out of nowhere as thunder roared. Lu Ye’s attacks were immediately obstructed. When his Inviolable Saber came into contact with the lightning, he stiffened at once as the lightning wandered around his figure.

 

Naturally, Liu Yuemei wouldn’t miss such a good chance. She cast even more flashes of lightning at Lu Ye, determined to end his life.

 

Lu Ye felt his hair standing on end, but it wasn’t because of the lightning. He had instinctively detected a sense of danger. He rarely suffered a setback in front of Spell Cultivators. Even when he dealt with Yu Daiwei previously, he wasn’t at a disadvantage. However, that battle was different from this time.

 

Yu Daiwei had no intention of ending Lu Ye’s life. She merely wanted to capture him following Tai Shan’s order. Therefore, even though the battle was intense, it wasn’t a life-and-death one. Lu Ye didn’t intend to kill her either. He just wanted to find out where the limit of his power was.

 

But this time, both he and Liu Yuemei were determined to destroy each other. They fully activated their powers when casting their attacks.

 

Lu Ye’s figure was still stiff when the lightning was about to strike him. He couldn’t dodge such an attack. In a hurry, Amber, who had been crouching on his shoulder, growled and leapt into the air. Its petite figure expanded and turned into its original form. Its Mutant Core rolled ferociously.

 

The lightning struck Amber and instantly caused its figure to be charred. The tiger shrunk to the size of a cat and fell from the sky.

 

A hand reached for the tiger and picked it up. Lu Ye had come to his senses as he placed the tiger on his shoulder. Faced with the storm of spells, he marched forward.

 

Having suffered a setback, he became more cautious. He would avoid Liu Yuemei’s spells. In case he couldn’t, he would attack the spells with his Saber Lights. As for her lighting spells, he would never come into contact with them.

 

Lightning spells were indeed violent and powerful, but the biggest shortcoming was that it was impossible to control them.

 

It was unlike other spells that could still be controlled after they were cast by Spell Cultivators. It wasn’t the case for lightning spells. They could move too quickly, so it was impossible to control them. This gave Lu Ye a chance to dodge them. Certainly, he had to be fully focused and move quickly. Otherwise, he would still be struck.

 

The environment in the chasm was complicated. If a Real Lake Realm Master was here, it would be difficult for him to move around. However, since Divine Ocean Realm Masters had Divine Egos, they weren’t affected much.

 

The two of them flew along the chasm rapidly. Wherever they went, the World Spiritual Qi turned into chaos.

 

Lu Ye lamented that he lacked a skill that would allow him to get close to an opponent in an instant. He had realised that when he battled against Yu Daiwei previously; the situation was worse this time.

 

If he could get close to an opponent in a short time, he had the confidence to kill Liu Yuemei even if she was a Ninth-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master, not to mention that she was only in the Seventh Order. Her figure was frail as a Spell Cultivator, so she couldn’t possibly bear too many of his attacks.

 

If the opponent was a Spell Cultivator in the same Minor Realm, it wouldn’t be hard for Lu Ye to get near him. When a Spell Cultivator used a spell, his speed would be affected. This gave Lu Ye a chance to get close to him.

 

However, the two female Spell Cultivators he came across after he returned to Jiu Zhou were respectively in the Eighth-Order and Seventh-Order Divine Ocean Realm. They were significantly more powerful than him. Since there was a huge gap between their powers, it was difficult for him to get close to them during battles.

 

Lu Ye initially intended to appear weak so that he could flare up later and catch the opponent off guard. But after ten breaths of time, he gave up on the idea.

 

Although Liu Yuemei was a woman, she had a lot of combat experience. As a Spell Cultivator, she wouldn’t let her opponent have a chance to get close to her.

 

Moreover, during the intense battle, Lu Ye could feel many powerful auras awakening from the bottom of the chasm. They were insectoids in the Divine Ocean Realm who were shocked by the fight above them.

 

Frustratingly, these powerful insectoids were rising rapidly from the bottom.

 

Once insectoids joined the battle, the situation would be chaotic. By then, it would be difficult for him to kill Liu Yuemei.

 

If Liu Yuemei survived, the secret that Li Taibai was Lu Ye’s Soul Clone would be exposed.

 

He couldn’t keep on fighting like this. He wanted to make sure none of them had a way out of this situation.

 

Since failure wasn’t an option, he decided to go all out.

 

He fished out an item and infused his Spiritual Power into it before casting it at Liu Yuemei.

 

Naturally, Liu Yuemei saw what he was doing. When she saw a ray of light shooting towards her, she quickly tackled it with her spells. Although she had no idea what the item was, she had to be vigilant.

 

What surprised her was that all her spells were useless against the item. They had no impact on the ray of light.

 

For some reason, she felt a mysterious force descending upon her as it resonated with the light.

 

It wasn’t until now that she made out what was hidden in the light. It was the Deathmatch Platform!

 

Naturally, she was familiar with the item. When Lu Ye came to Surging Waves Lake Pass to take Xiao Xinghe away, he used a Deathmatch Platform and caused one of her most important subordinates to lose his life. Her plan fell short for that reason.

 

Much to her surprise, Lu Ye summoned the Deathmatch Platform again two to three years later, and she was the target.

 

Once they were inside the Deathmatch Platform, the battle would only end when one of them died. Only one person would walk out of it alive.

 

Liu Yuemei was furious. She acknowledged that Lu Ye was powerful enough to kill stronger enemies following their exchange of blows, but there was a limit as to how many Minor Realms he could transcend and kill his opponents.

 

What gave him the confidence to cast the Deathmatch Platform at her?

 

Before she could think deeply about it, a light flickered. The two of them disappeared from their spots as the violent fluctuations of Spiritual Powers subsided. The noise coming from the bottom of the chasm became louder. A moment later, a lot of insectoids crawled out of the chasm with some Divine Ocean Realm insectoids leading the way.

 

Within the space of the Deathmatch Platform, Liu Yuemei expanded her Divine Ego as soon as she appeared. She soon located Lu Ye, who was several dozen metres away from her. The distance was the same as before they entered the Deathmatch Platform.

 

But what came into her sight shocked her. Lu Ye had transformed completely. His entire figure was covered in ample vitality as he radiated a red glow.

 

He seemed to have grown taller and more slender as well. His aura became weird as though it was tinged with the Mutant power of a Spirit Beast. It was undeniable that his aura had become violent and oppressive.

 

She studied him and discovered that he had developed a tail formed with Spiritual Power behind him. The word ‘King’ was faintly seen on his forehead.

 

Those who had no idea what was going on might think that he was a Mutant who hadn’t fully transformed.

 

But Liu Yuemei knew that it was the Beast Form Secret Technique of a Beastmaster.

 

There were many factions in Jiu Zhou, and Beastmastery was only one of them. However, Beastmasters had always been in an awkward situation because their strength depended on the quality and quantity of the Spirit Beasts they controlled. Since they were overly reliant on external powers, they wouldn’t go far in their cultivation journeys, just like Golem Masters. There were countless weak cultivators but only a small number of powerful ones in this faction.

 

But the status quo was changed several years ago.

 

In the Vault of Providence in Jiu Zhou, many jade slips containing the best Secret Techniques of Beastmastery appeared out of the blue. Many Beastmasters regarded them as the most important treasures.

 

There were Beastmasters in the Sky Origin Clan as well, so Liu Yuemei was aware of it. She knew that the most powerful Secret Technique of Beastmastery was Beast Form, which would allow the Beastmaster and his Chosen Beast to merge.

 

She didn’t know that Lu Ye was also a Beastmaster.

 

It was true that a Spirit Beast always followed him around. The Spirit Beast even protected its owner by tackling the lightning in his stead earlier.

 

Therefore, it was only natural that Lu Ye had also cultivated Beastmastery.

 

Nevertheless, Liu Yuemei never expected that he could also use Beast Form. Many cultivators who majored in Beastmastery couldn’t achieve that. It had been a few years since those Secret Techniques appeared in the Vault of Providence, and every Beastmaster would purchase them. However, no one had ever merged with their Chosen Beast.

 

At the very least, Liu Yuemei had never heard of it, so it was her first time witnessing it.

 

It was truly inconceivable. Not only could a Combat Cultivator make a Soul Clone, but he could also use the strongest Secret Technique of Beastmastery. His aptitude must be splendid.

 

Although many thoughts turned over in her mind, it wouldn’t stop her from attacking her opponent. The best way for Spell Cultivators to deal with their opponents was to relentlessly sustain a storm of attacks.

 

The opponents might be able to fend off the attacks for a while, but as long as the Spell Cultivators could control the pace of attacks, the opponents would eventually make mistakes.

 

But as Lu Ye tackled the attacks, Liu Yuemei was astounded.

 

The moment a red light flickered, she lost sight of Lu Ye.

 

It could be said that Lu Ye’s speed had become much quicker than before. He was more agile while moving around.

 

It wasn’t only thanks to Beast Form. He had also blessed himself with Bloodrage.

 

Since he had decided to go all out, he wouldn’t hold back his power. The moment he entered the Deathmatch Platform, he activated a drop of blood essence to use Bloodrage and Beast Form at the same time.

 

Just like what he had expected while in Blood Refinement Boundary, the power of blood essence could save him a lot of time as he no longer had to get prepared before using his moves. He could directly activate his trump cards.

 

He danced like a Dragon as he attacked his opponent.

 

Amber’s childish voice was heard saying in his mind, “You’ll be invincible with my help during a battle!”
