With the saber in his hand, Lu Ye felt complete, no longer finding himself powerless to deal with the opponent.

 

Since it was his Divine Ocean, he was in an advantageous position. His Soul Body reached Liu Yuemei in the blink of an eye.

 

Liu Yuemei still hadn’t recovered from the shock when a Saber Light slashed at her, so she could only hurriedly activate her power to protect herself.

 

She had learned some Soul Secret Techniques. She could attack the enemies and also protect herself. A barrier soon appeared in front of her.

 

When the saber struck, the barrier broke apart like a mirror.

 

Liu Yuemei was flabbergasted, finally certain that the saber in Lu Ye’s hand was a Soul Artifact, and it was an extraordinary one. Otherwise, it couldn’t have easily destroyed her Soul Power Shield.

 

She gritted her teeth, feeling bitter deep within. There was nothing wrong with her strategy. Since she couldn’t get the upper hand with her physical strength and had even fallen into a disadvantageous position, she could only get into a battle of Divine Souls with Lu Ye. The truth was that she indeed had a stronger Divine Soul than Lu Ye.

 

But much to her surprise, a Second-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master like Lu Ye had an incredible Soul Artifact.

 

It was a Soul Artifact! Even a Seventh-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master from a prestigious family like her didn’t have one. What right did Lu Ye have to own one?

 

But considering the Crimson Blood Sect’s past heritage and current situation, it wasn’t surprising that Tang Yi Feng had granted Lu Ye a Soul Artifact.

 

She couldn’t be blamed for thinking that the Soul Cutting Saber came from the Crimson Blood Sect.

 

After her Soul Power Shield was shattered, the Soul Cutting Saber was brought down. Liu Yuemei hurriedly flew backwards, but the Saber Light relentlessly ran after her.

 

It was Lu Ye’s Divine Ocean, so she could never move faster than him. This was the biggest shortcoming of getting into a fight in someone else’s Divine Ocean.

 

When the Soul Cutting Saber struck Liu Yuemei’s Soul Body, she shrieked, bearing excruciating pain.

 

At the same time, a Soul Attack landed on Lu Ye.

 

It was indeed painful. When his Soul Body was directly attacked like this, he immediately felt as if his Divine Soul had been torn apart. No blood streamed out of the wound since it was a Soul Body. Only the Soul Power penetrated him through the wound.

 

Anyway, Lu Ye could replenish his Soul Power at any moment, so the wound healed a while later. On the other hand, Liu Yuemei didn’t have that convenience.

 

She had just recovered from the sharp pain when Lu Ye charged towards her with the saber again.

 

She couldn’t dodge the attack or fend him off. When she was struck the second time, she screamed even louder. The pain in her Divine Soul was unbearable.

 

This time, Lu Ye managed to dodge her instinctive counterattack, so he was unharmed.

 

Having been struck twice, Liu Yuemei knew the battle couldn’t go on like this. She was ready to flee this place.

 

Lu Ye saw what she was doing, so he naturally wouldn’t let her achieve her goal.

 

The woman had suddenly barged into his Divine Ocean and kicked up a storm. Now that she realised she was in danger, she was ready to flee. He had to make her pay for her actions.

 

He pressed down his hand and lifted it before saying, “Rise!”

 

The undulating water suddenly started boiling. Following that, a tower shot out of the Divine Ocean and hovered above it.

 

When the Soul Power was activated, the tower shook and expanded rapidly.

 

In the blink of an eye, the gigantic tower moved past the two of them and covered the entire Divine Ocean, turning it into a cage.

 

Liu Yuemei crashed into the wall, despondently discovering that she couldn’t break the tower. In other words, she had been trapped.

 

Her eyes trembled violently. As she looked at the massive tower that covered the entire Divine Ocean, she felt extremely bitter.

 

It was another Soul Artifact. What was more, it was a protective one. It seemed that the Crimson Blood Sect still had a lot of heritage despite its downfall.

 

It wasn’t until now that she realised she had made a huge mistake. If she only contended with Lu Ye using spells instead of getting into a battle of Divine Souls with him, she would’ve stood a chance to turn things around. But the moment she took the risk to start the battle of Divine Souls, the outcome was preordained.

 

She thought Lu Ye was such a cunning person. He had such a protective Soul Artifact, but he never used it when she barged into his Divine Ocean. He only activated it when she was ready to flee.

 

If the tower’s protection had been activated when she tried to break into his Divine Ocean, she wouldn’t have succeeded.

 

In fact, it was merely a misunderstanding.

 

Although Lu Ye acquired the Soul Soothing Tower a long time ago, he was only a Real Lake Realm Master at that time. Despite having a Divine Ego and Soul Body, he was different from a real Divine Ocean Realm Master. He didn’t know all the powers of the Soul Soothing Tower. He only thought the item could protect his Divine Ocean from getting destroyed.

 

During the intense battle with Liu Yuemei, he discovered that one of the Soul Soothing Tower’s powers was cordoning off the Divine Ocean.

 

The Soul Soothing Tower had turned the Divine Ocean into a cage while Lu Ye had the Soul Cutting Saber in his hand. Knowing that she was doomed, Liu Yuemei quickly calmed down instead.

 

A series of rhythmic thuds were heard resonating in the depths of her soul. She lifted her head and saw Lu Ye sauntering towards her. The thuds were the sounds of his footsteps.

 

He lifted the Soul Cutting Saber and pointed it at the woman before saying calmly, “Let’s fight until one of us dies.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yuemei launched a series of Soul Attacks.

 

Lu Ye dashed forward and destroyed the attacks before striking her Soul Body with his saber.

 

She shrieked when she was struck twice previously, but in this despairing situation, she became defiant instead. She only groaned in a muffled voice, refusing to let out a loud sound.

 

Only one of them would survive this battle, so begging or surrendering was pointless. It was already predetermined the moment Lu Ye summoned the Deathmatch Platform.

 

Despite knowing that she was doomed, she had to make sure she would die with elegance.

 

It would be humiliating for her if she appeared to be suffering miserably in front of a young man who was a Second-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master.

 

Her Soul Body turned a shade dimmer every time the saber struck her. There came a moment when Lu Ye suddenly moved past her figure. Her originally solid Soul Body had turned illusory, like a candlelight that might be put out at any moment amid the wind.

 

She gritted her teeth and cursed at him for the last time. “I won’t let you off even if I go to Hell!”

 

As her last bit of power undulated, her Soul Body became unstable, seemingly about to fall apart. She would certainly die, but she wasn’t willing to be killed by a Junior like Lu Ye.

 

She insisted on ending her own life to save herself the humiliation.

 

Lu Ye’s back was against her, but he suddenly turned around and wielded the Soul Cutting Saber. An arc penetrated her, forming an incision on her neck.

 

Liu Yuemei’s face contorted. She didn’t expect that Lu Ye was unwilling to let her end her life gracefully.

 

With a hideous expression, she seemed ready to say something, but her Soul Body disintegrated and turned into dots of light before disappearing altogether.

 

Lu Ye calmly looked in the direction she had disappeared. He didn’t feel elated just because he managed to kill a much stronger opponent. After all, both of them were from the same side.

 

The truth was, having spent two years in Blood Refinement Boundary, he no longer had any murderous intent against Thousand Demon Ridge cultivators who were on the opposing side.

 

He didn’t think only either party could live.

 

In Blood Refinement Boundary, many Seniors who came from different sides could live harmoniously together and work hard to achieve the same goal. They didn’t fight each other all the time.

 

Despite feeling that way now, Lu Ye didn’t agree with Tai Shan’s ideology. He believed that Tai Shan’s idea wasn’t feasible either. The feud between the two sides had been ongoing for thousands of years, so it couldn’t be solved simply by creating a new great force. In this world, many people might be sick of the endless strife between the two sides just like him, but they didn’t have a choice when they were part of this ongoing war.

 

Naturally, even though Lu Ye didn’t feel gleeful about killing Liu Yuemei, he wasn’t sorrowful either. Their encounter this time was meant to be a life-and-death battle.

 

It could only be said that the score was settled accidentally. He had come here this time to make a new Soul Clone, but it so happened that Liu Yuemei discovered his secret.

 

Upon finding out that Li Taibai was Lu Ye’s Soul Clone, she decided to end his life.

 

Since someone wanted to kill him, Lu Ye would naturally counterattack. It wasn’t like he would let the woman get her revenge. In that case, he had to make sure she would no longer pose a threat to him. In the end, he was alive while she was dead. It was as simple as that.

 

It could be considered that he had gotten his revenge.

 

Back then, he went to Surging Waves Lake Pass to get Xiao Xinghe out of there. While on their way back, Liu Yuemei came to hunt them down despite her identity. If Lu Ye never used the Golden Body Token, he would’ve lost his life. He would never forget about the feud between them.

 

Detecting something, he quickly left his Divine Ocean. The next moment, his senses returned, and he saw that the space within the Deathmatch Platform was disintegrating rapidly.

 

Since one of them was already dead, the space could no longer be sustained. Liu Yuemei was still standing in a nearby spot, but all her vitality had left her.

 

Lu Ye hurriedly dispelled Beast Form and shouted, “Yi Yi!”

 

Yi Yi swiftly approached them and disappeared into Amber’s body.

 

The tiger looked listless. That was what happened every time Beast Form was used. Even Lu Ye had exerted himself. Both his physical strength and Divine Soul were exhausted. Anyway, as long as his foundation wasn’t damaged, he would recover after some recuperation.

 

After the space collapsed, he appeared in the chasm again the next moment.

 

He frowned, for he was surrounded by countless insectoids. What was more, some of them were in the Divine Ocean Realm.

 

Before summoning the Deathmatch Platform, he had detected the anomaly at the bottom of the chasm, which was why he even made that decision. It was to prevent the insectoids from disturbing his fight with Liu Yuemei.

 

Although the battle didn’t last a long time, an unusually large number of insectoids had crawled up from the bottom.

 

The moment he showed up, all he could see were innumerable insectoids.

 

The unintelligent insectoids were surprised to see a Human appearing all of a sudden, but they wouldn’t think deeply about it. They instinctively attacked Lu Ye.

 

With the saber in his hand, Lu Ye was ready to break the siege. Since he had consumed too much energy, he couldn’t stay here any longer.

 

Before he could make a move, he heard a woman calling out to her from a distance, “Where are you, Li Taibai?”

 

Lin Yue had come to look for him.
