Chapter 2322 - 2320: Four Dao Pools

Stellar space fragment, two months passed in a flash.

Lu Ye finally returned in person.

He handed over the Star Abyss coins he had recently acquired to Su Yan, who thanked him and accepted them.

If it weren't for Lu Ye's assistance, Su Yan might have been able to gather enough Star Abyss coins on her own, but that would definitely take a long time because, although her methods for defeating enemies are impressive, her Dao force reserve is ultimately limited. She is destined to spend a lot of time recovering her Dao force, and if any accident occurs during this period, causing the domain to break, all efforts would be in vain.

But with Lu Ye's help, they finally managed to gather five hundred Star Abyss coins.

She promptly redeemed the World in the Mirror from the treasure vault.

This treasure is a palm-sized mirror. Su Yan flew to a distant location and aimed it in the direction of the Four-Ears World. The landscape of that region instantly reflected in the mirror.

Dao force activated, and the mirror surface turned.

A ripple suddenly swept over the location of the Four-Ears World. Once the ripple gradually subsided, the Four-Ears World had disappeared, having been collected into the World in the Mirror.

Su Yan handed the World in the Mirror to Lu Ye: "Senior Brother, I'll leave this treasure to you."

Previously, Lu Ye had tested Su Yan, inquiring how she planned to arrange the Four-Ears World, because even with the help of the World in the Mirror to take the world out, there still needed to be a suitable arrangement later. After all, the domain contained many beings, and they couldn't survive indefinitely in the World in the Mirror.

Short-term is fine, but long-term definitely won't work.

Lu Ye had set up arrangements in the Four-Ears World, so if Su Yan had a suitable plan for disposal, he would have to collect the female consort into the Small Flower World in advance to prevent the Dao Body from being lost.

However, when Lu Ye raised the question, Su Yan found it difficult.

She genuinely didn't have a suitable place to dispose of the Four-Ears World. Although she could bring it back to the Ancestral Land, it wasn't a suitable place for ordinary domains to remain.

Upon learning this, Lu Ye naturally took on the responsibility.

Not to mention he could arrange the Four-Ears World into Banlan; even if he didn't choose Banlan, he could later send the Four-Ears World back to his stellar space for arrangement.

This is why Su Yan handed over the World in the Mirror to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye accepted it and kept the World in the Mirror close. As for whether to arrange it into Banlan or bring it back to stellar space, he would decide later; there was no urgency now.

"We should go. I've investigated before, and the Chaos Fog isn't far from here," Lu Ye said.

Su Yan naturally had no objections. After two months of rest, it was time to move. Although observing the changing winds and clouds was quite good, it would miss the emergence of some exotic treasures.

No matter what kind of exotic treasure it is, if others obtain it, it ultimately becomes a threat to oneself.

The two both have great confidence in their own strength. Once they made a decision, they wouldn't delay and immediately began to take action.

In the following period, the two of them shuttled around various locations, primarily searching for exotic treasures, although they upheld the principle of not initiating provocations, they couldn't avoid others seeking them out.

The Star Abyss Heirs' rivalry had lasted until now, for roughly half a year. For such a long time, those who managed to survive usually possessed some means. Cultivators without sufficient strength and means had long become stepping stones for others to climb higher.

Due to the continuous erosion of the Chaos Fog, even those weaker individuals couldn't hide.

However, what disappointed Lu Ye was that after searching everywhere for over two months, he hadn't found any sign of exotic treasures emerging.

He didn't know if it was bad luck or what.

During this long period, both Lu Ye and Su Yan could clearly feel that the rivalry had reached its final stage.

Because the devouring speed of the Chaos Fog was increasingly rapid, and the remaining part of the stellar space fragment wasn't much; all surviving Dao Fusions were concentrated in this area.

Encounters, battles, slaughter, cultivators consistently died in battle.

The drama of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, the mountain sitting by watching tigers fight, and the fisherman gaining advantage played out from time to time.

In such an environment and atmosphere, even Lu Ye and Su Yan remained tense at all times because they had to guard against potential ambushes.

Nowadays, the enemies are not to be underestimated; a single mistake could lead to capsizing in a ditch.

Another half-month passed, on a floating land, Lu Ye and Su Yan hid within, both looking solemn.

Because with the continual erosion of the stellar space fragment, only this final small area remained, roughly covering a million miles in radius.

It seems large, but it's actually not for the Dao Fusions.

The devouring of the Chaos Fog had stopped, meaning the stellar space fragment would no longer shrink. This radius of a million miles is the last battlefield for the surviving Dao Fusions!

Lu Ye didn't know how many Dao Fusions were alive now, but the numbers would definitely not be many, possibly at most a few hundred.

His gaze was somewhat melancholic because he hadn't seen Song Weiwei since their separation that day.

With the decisive battle imminent, yet no sign of her, Lu Ye guessed that the fate of this woman was likely dire.

Song Weiwei's strength, though decent, has stronger individuals in this contest, and without timely finding suitable companions, she alone lacks any competitiveness.

Without thinking further, Lu Ye's gaze turned towards a direction.

There was a Baiyu Platform!

It was clearly the Baiyu Platform where many Dao Fusions had gathered when they first arrived at this stellar space fragment. It should be the very center of the fragment, now silently floating there.

Lu Ye looked over and could still see a figure standing quietly on the Baiyu Platform.

The figure was dressed in white, gracefully poised, yet like a sculpture, with a mask covering the face. It had no complex patterns, just a few simple strokes, and a conspicuous Qi character!

Qi, still retained the look she had when Lu Ye left, as if she hadn't moved from the spot throughout this long period.

This is really... going back to where it all started.

All Dao Fusions had departed from this platform, but now the survivors were driven back as if herded like sheep, leaving Lu Ye with a sense of powerlessness.

"Senior Brother Lu, what should we do now?" Su Yan whispered in an audio transmission.

Lu Ye replied slowly, "Watch and wait."

In such a situation, whoever makes the first move will suffer. He could even sense that not far from him and Su Yan, there was a Dao Fusion lurking.

The other person must have noticed them too, yet both acted with tacit understanding as if unaware, clearly not wanting to spark any conflict and let others take advantage.

All Dao Fusions shared this thought. Under the current circumstances, even the strongest with confidence in their abilities wouldn't reveal themselves recklessly.

In the tense atmosphere, a peculiar tranquility and calm flowed.

This only made some of the more hot-tempered cultivators impatient.

Through such torment, they longed to leap out and stir the chaos but didn't dare gamble with their lives and could only endure.

Drip...

Suddenly, a light sound from the Baiyu Platform reached the ears of all hidden figures. The sound was faint, akin to a raindrop gently falling.

When the sound echoed, Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, thinking darkly it wasn't good.

Judging by the happenings over these days, the Will of the Star Abyss undoubtedly wished for the Dao Fusions to fight, to kill, and quickly determine the Star Abyss Heir.

The exotic treasures that occasionally emerged and the Chaos Fog continually devouring stellar space fragments were catalysts for battle outbreaks.

At present, the survivors gathered here, yet peculiarly peaceful, which certainly wasn't what the Will of the Star Abyss wished to see.

What kind of trick is going to happen again?

As Lu Ye contemplated this, a ripple suddenly swept across the Baiyu Platform, followed by four pillars of light erupting at the corners of the platform!

Oh dear, indeed something's happening, did four exotic treasures emerge simultaneously?

If so, then all Dao Fusions would likely be drawn out, because those who survived till now weren't ordinary hands. Once an exotic treasure appears, even if one can't grab it themselves, they can't allow others to claim it. This might be a common thought among everyone.

In such circumstances, the current situation would surely be broken.

Chaos battles are inevitable.

But soon, Lu Ye realized, this wasn't the emergence of exotic treasures!

Because when those four pillars of light disappeared, the corners were enveloped by a dense fog. The fog wasn't vast nor thick, just half a person's height, seeming to hide some mystery inside. Many Mental Consciousnesses probed towards it but were blocked by the fog, with no one able to ascertain the situation within.

A vividly lifelike fish suddenly leaped out of the fog, vanished in a single flash, and fell back into the fog, disappearing again.

"Dao Fish!" Beside Lu Ye, Su Yan's eyes lit up.

Lu Ye also recognized the fish wasn't a real fish, but a Dao Fish he had witnessed twice before, pure Dao force condensed, easily absorbed and refined into a cultivator's Dao force reserve.

Slightly stunned, it wasn't an exotic treasure emerging, but a Dao Pool revealing!

And compared to exotic treasures, the Dao Pools now appearing at the four corners of the Baiyu Platform wouldn't be less attractive to the cultivators.

Due to enduring battle over such extended time, no matter which Dao Fusion it was, their Dao force was greatly depleted. It could be said that these Dao Fusions never experienced such intense, prolonged struggles.

Compared to when they first arrived, their current Dao force reserve was undoubtedly far inferior, even exchanging Star Abyss coins at the treasure vault for Dao Bone, the recovery efficiency was limited.

These four suddenly emerging Dao Pools, who wouldn't want to jump in and quickly recover? More Dao force meant prolonged combat power, and at the final decisive moment, a few traces of Dao force might be the difference between life and death.

Surely, someone wouldn't be able to resist! And not just one.

Sure enough, moments after the appearance of the four Dao Pools, two streams of light abruptly emerged from a direction, without any concealment, swiftly heading toward the direction of one Dao Pool.

As these two revealed themselves, Lu Ye's expression turned slightly grave.
