The figure that came out to protect Yao Yue was the Battle Puppet!
Yao Yue had not used the Battle Puppet for a long time. It was not that he could not use it, but he did not use it easily!
As Yao Yue's strength increased, the power of the nine star battle runes would become stronger, and the Battle Puppet's battle power would become stronger!
There was a certain strange relationship between the battle runes!
In the blink of an eye, the two Sages were killed by the Battle Puppet, and the surrounding Sages were immediately frightened and retreated.
Yao Yue also took advantage of this time to speed up the recovery of his injuries. His external injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he stood up with difficulty.
After so many years of fighting, Yao Yue had already forged a true iron body, as well as an unyielding willpower!
After Yao Yue stood up, he still felt the sword qi in his body running amok, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable. If he did not force the sword qi out, it would continue to destroy his internal organs until he died!
"Sword Maniac is indeed powerful!"
Yao Yue secretly thought in his heart. After swallowing some healing spiritual herbs, his injuries healed even faster!
When his condition was much better, he actually dug up a piece of land from the ground!
He did not directly dig up the saint vein underground, but dug out the blood-stained ground, and then took out an item. It was the black lotus seed that he bought!
"My blood cannot be wasted. Let's see if I can revive you!"
Yao Yue muttered to himself, and then buried the black lotus seed in the blood soil. Then, he took out some spring water and poured it on the spot where the black lotus seed was buried!
After doing all this, Yao Yue put away the Sanguine Soil.
Originally, he bought the black lotus seed to use the blood of the Phoenix to baptize it and revitalize it!
This was because he used his divine eye to see that the black lotus seed still had a trace of extremely tenacious vitality left, and there was still a trace of hope for it to be revived!
However, it was not so easy to revive it. In the later stage, it would need to be infused with various kinds of spiritual spring water, and it would also need to be watered with the blood of the Phoenix.
After that, Yao Yue quickly set up an array around the area, surrounding the area!
This was a high-level illusion array that could deceive even Sages. Unless a person with extraordinary eyes or a Heavenly Master was here, they would not be able to see through the situation!
Yao Yue did this to calm himself down and force the remaining sword qi out of his body. Secondly, he would dig out the saint vein underground!
He did not want to be discovered by others, and it would be as troublesome as possible!
After the array formation was laid down, Yao Yue had the combat puppets stand guard while he focused wholeheartedly on recuperating!
Under the repeated use of the Nirvana Art, his physical body recovered extremely quickly, and those dense sword wounds were completely healed!
Only then did he fully activate the power of his demon core and Primordial Sea to force the Sword Qi out of his body!
However, he discovered that the Sword Qi was not so easy to deal with. He was actually unable to force it out even with his full strength!
"It seems that I still have to use the power of the battle runes!" Yao Yue sighed and had no choice but to activate the Nine-Star Battle Runes.
When the Nine-Star Battle Runes were activated, his combat strength immediately increased. This was his peak state, and he had already surpassed the strength of a peak Great Sage!
Bang!
Bang! In an instant, the sword qi that stayed in his body was forcibly shaken out of his body. The sword qi directly collided with the surrounding earth and rocks, directly blasting the earth and rocks into smithereens!
This was just the remaining sword qi, and it was already so terrifying. This Sword Maniac's strength was definitely comparable to that of a Demigod!
"Before the strength of my Demon Core and Primary Sea reaches the level of a Great Sage, I must not fight with the Sword Maniac again. Otherwise, I will only be humiliating myself!" Yao Yue thought to himself.
After being defeated by the Sword Maniac, Yao Yue was able to recognize his own shortcomings. He also wiped away the little bit of arrogance and complacency he had in the past, and in exchange, he had the belief to rise again!
It could be said that Yao Yue's defeat only had benefits, and there were no disadvantages!
After Yao Yue dispersed the sword qi, he began to dig for the Saint Vein!
With the help of the power of the True Essence of Earth, he dug very quickly. After digging hundreds of meters deep, he finally found a Saint Crystal!
This was indeed a Saint Vein, and it was a mid-grade Saint Crystal. It did not look small at all!
Yao Yue was overjoyed. He sped up and dug out the entire Saint Crystal.
After digging it out, he counted that there were about seven hundred blocks of mid-grade Saint Crystal, which made Yao Yue overjoyed!
This number of Saint Veins was enough for him to go to the second stage!
This was because the Gate of God only required three hundred blocks of mid-grade Saint Crystal to go to the second stage!
After Yao Yue put away the Saint Crystal, he did not leave this place. Instead, he continued to set up defensive and offensive formations here, making this place impregnable!
He planned to cultivate here for a while and completely accumulate the energy in his Demon Core and Primary Sea to the edge of a breakthrough before he set off again!
Although he had dug out the Saint Vein here, the Origin Energy gathered here was very fast. Moreover, the density of the Origin Energy here was extremely high. It was completely incomparable to other places!
A place that naturally gathered Origin Energy was not only suitable to form Primary Sea or Saint Veins, but it was also suitable for cultivation!
Yao Yue's realm had already reached the peak of the Mid-Grade Saint Stage, the Demon Core and Primary Sea. He was just one step away from perfection!
Therefore, he only spent less than a month here to compress and purify his realm to the Great Circle of the Mid-Grade Saint Stage. As long as he wanted to break through, he could do it!
During this period of time, many people passed by his territory, but none of them discovered his existence!
Of course, there were also people who noticed that something was wrong. In the end, they could not see through the Psychedelic Array and retreated!
After Yao Yue came out of seclusion, he did not immediately rush to the second stage. He wanted to take a look around here first!
He might be able to obtain more treasures from this stage and be prepared for the second stage!
Three days later, he arrived at a valley. He could sense that many people were fighting here. He looked from afar and used his divine ears to listen. Soon, he figured out what was going on!
It turned out that there was a Holy Skill engraved on the side of a cliff in the valley. These people were fighting over this Holy Skill!
"Let me see what's so special about this Saint Skill that these people are fighting over it," Yao Yue muttered to himself and teleported over.
There were formations and restrictions flowing on the cliff, sealing the Saint Skill on the cliff. Those below the Heavenly God realm would not be able to destroy it!
Naturally, only Saints could see the Saint Skill. They could not destroy it!
Just as Yao Yue was about to take a closer look at the Saint Skill, he heard a shout, "This Saint Skill belongs to me. Scram, or I'll kill you!"
As soon as the voice finished speaking, an extremely powerful energy enveloped him.
Yao Yue did not even look at it. He shifted his position and dodged the attack.
Yao Yue turned around and saw a mid-level Saint from the Specter Clan charging at him with the speed of the wind. The mid-level Saint sent out a series of palm strikes, sealing off the area, making it difficult for Yao Yue to dodge.
Yao Yue did not have a good impression of the Specter Clan. When he first came out from the Demon World, the first Marauder he encountered was from the Specter Clan.
"You're courting death!"
Yao Yue's eyes turned cold. He shouted and met the Specter Clan's attack head-on. A domineering fist was sent flying towards the Specter Clan member!
The fist was as big as the sky, and its strength was incomparably domineering. The Specter Clan member's palm strikes were instantly destroyed, and the fist landed on the Specter Clan member's chest!
Bang!
The Specter Clan member's Holy Garment was destroyed. Yao Yue's fist strength penetrated his body, and he died just like that!
Yao Yue killed a Specter Clan member with a single punch, which immediately shocked the surrounding people.
"It's Yao Yue, who is on the Earthly Dragon List!" Someone recognized Yao Yue and immediately exclaimed.
"Don't bother me. I'll leave as soon as I finish watching!" Yao Yue glanced at those people and then looked directly at the Holy Skill.
"What an arrogant tone. The Great Sage is here. How dare you ignore me?" Someone shouted angrily.
The person who walked out was a skinny old man. His hair seemed to have almost all fallen out, and his old skin was deeply wrinkled. It was obvious that he was at the end of his life. If he could not make a breakthrough, he would definitely die!
"Anyone can observe the Holy Skill here. If you want to watch, you can watch it together!" Yao Yue said politely, seeing that the other party was so old.
But who knew that his attitude made the old Sage think that he was afraid!
"Get out of here. If you want to watch, only the Great Sage can watch it. You can come over later!" The old Sage shouted.
"Cherish your remaining years. If you want to die, just say it!" Yao Yue frowned slightly and said.
This time, the old Sage was furious!
"Little bastard, if you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish!" The old Sage scolded and quickly slapped Yao Yue's forehead.
This Old Sage was indeed an experienced person. The momentum of this attack was already the power of the Great Sage Late, and this palm power was even more overwhelming, rushing towards Yao Yue. Yao Yue was stunned.
A guy who took advantage of his seniority always had some skills!
Unfortunately, in Yao Yue's eyes, it was not enough!
Yao Yue began to move before the palm strength fell on his forehead!
He was as fast as the wind and lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the old Sage and violently kicked out with his Remnant Wind Leg.
Bang!
Ah!
Ah! The old Sage did not hit Yao Yue. Instead, he was kicked by Yao Yue until he vomited blood and screamed in pain!
After Yao Yue kicked the old Sage, the other Sages did not dare to stay any longer. They immediately turned around and fled!
They had not even reached the Great Sage Realm. How could they challenge Yao Yue?
Yao Yue kept the space rings of the Sages that he had killed consecutively.
Yao Yue did not reject such a windfall!
On this path to becoming a God, he could not be merciful. Otherwise, he would be the one to die in the end!
"I did not want to kill anyone, but he wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to fight back!" Yao Yue lamented.
