Sage of Humanity-Chapter 683 - 681: Layers upon Layers of Big Arrays
The four people who attacked Lu Ye were all Cloud River Level 9, and each one of them managed to injure him.
Tan Sheng's long spear struck Lu Ye's ribs, Xia Liang's blade pierced into Lu Ye's body, breaking his protective spirit force, and then two overwhelmingly powerful magic and spells enveloped him, turning him into a blaze of fire.
In such a situation, it was as if Lu Ye had taken the attack from two spells without any protection.
Frankly, had any one of the four experienced the same treatment, they surely wouldn't have survived.
Yet, how did Lu Yiye manage not to die?
Soon, the Formation where Lu Ye had disappeared was broken, and Xia Liang immediately stepped forward to investigate. He only saw splatters of fresh blood remaining on the ground, but there was no sign of Lu Ye himself.
This guy, he really didn't die.
This is troublesome.
Considering it in his heart, the best scenario now would be if Lu Yiye was hanging on by a thread, barely alive, but wouldn't last much longer. If that were the case, then this attempt could be deemed successful. Even if they didn't obtain Lu Yiye's body and couldn't claim the massive reward, at least the tumor had been excised. With Lu Ye no longer posing a threat, he could boldly seek revenge on Li Baxian.
But after all, this was only the best-case scenario.
He had to consider some other possible situations.
For example, what if Lu Yiye was only severely injured and was now hiding somewhere in this perilous land, healing. If that were the case, once he recovered a little, he'd be able to figure out a way to break the Array and leave.
This guy's competence in the Array Path was extremely high. Having just come out of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, his cultivation in array must have improved again.
Thinking of this, Xia Liang couldn't help but feel irritated. Ever since he had started dealing with Lu Yiye, things hadn't gone smoothly. In order to pursue and kill this guy, he had already wasted several months of cultivation time.
In the perilous land of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, where array cultivators break Arrays, Lu Ye, with a pale face, was making his way through one Formation after another, inwardly sighing at his good luck.
It was fortunate that the last attack he faced was a fire-element technique, which allowed him to utilize the power of the Talent Tree to preserve his life. Had it been a spell of another element sign, he might not have been able to survive.
Xia Liang and the others were curious as to why he could survive such attacks. Had they known what he relied on to kill Huo Liaoyuan of the Sacred Fire Order back then, they wouldn't have had so many doubts.
With the Talent Tree at his side, Lu Ye's resistance to fire-element technique was unmatched by anyone.
However, while he could withstand the power of the spells, he could not withstand the physical impact. Therefore, under the collision of those two fire dragons, he was still seriously injured.
Moreover, before that, Xiao Liang's blade had stabbed into his back, piercing three inches deep.
At this moment, it would be accurate to say he was gravely injured.
The overwhelming pressure on his psyche had already made him dizzy and sluggish in his thinking, and now that his physical body had also suffered a heavy blow, his condition could be said to be extremely poor.
Luckily, he had timely escaped into the perilous land covered by countless Arrays.
The location he entered was not randomly chosen.
Before he entered the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, he had already anticipated the potential situation he might face upon exiting the pagoda. The very reason why he persisted through the pagoda and risked danger was with the intention of escaping through this perilous land.
Before entering the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, he had specifically observed the surroundings. The place where he escaped to was not far from the exit of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda and was covered by an Illusion Array that itself did not have much lethality.
Therefore, when he left the pagoda, although Lu Ye did not immediately remember many things, after he was attacked, he instantly recalled the escape route he had left behind. With the help of the blow from Tan Sheng's spear, he fled in that direction.
If Xia Liang and the others had dared to pursue him into the Array at that time, his chances of survival would indeed have been slim.
But faced with such an unknown Formation, who would dare to pursue.
This gave him a chance to escape.
The Illusion Array into which he fell had been operating for who knows how long and was absurdly powerful. Anyone from the Cloud River Realm who entered would probably be flooded with illusions and lose all sense of direction.
However, Lu Ye's psyche was ultimately much stronger than that of his peers in the same realm. With only a slight influence, he was safe and sound.
He did not break the Array, but rather chose to stealthily move out of the range covered by the Array using his own unique method. In this way, the Array would still function and block any pursuers that might exist.
With the Insight Spirit Runes constructed, Lu Ye continuously surveyed his surroundings, only to see Formations hidden in all directions, the sheer number of which was staggering.
However, under the effect of the Insight Spirit Runes, these Formations were essentially exposed, saving Lu Ye a lot of time.
He moved through the gaps between Arrays, pressing forward.
However, he hadn't gone far before he found no way through. Looking around, he saw that different Arrays were tightly connected all around, leaving not even a sliver of gap.
In this case, unless he stayed in place, Lu Ye would inevitably enter into an unknown Array.
With no other choice, he could only try to enter an Array that didn't look too dangerous, get in, and then leave from another direction.
Traveling in such a way for more than two hours, Lu Ye still hadn't left the perilous land covered with intricate and numerous Arrays.
Moreover, an awkward situation arose: he had somewhat lost his direction.
By all accounts, such a thing should be nearly impossible for him, given that he was a Cloud River Level 6 cultivator.
But the multitude of big arrays in operation here severely interfered with his judgment. Coupled with his poor current condition, his psyche and body were subjected to a dual pressure, so for a moment, an event that should not have occurred did indeed happen.
Feeling somewhat dizzy, Lu Ye halted his steps.
If he couldn't leave this place in one go, then he could only hurry to heal his injuries.
Although he did not know his current location, even if there were pursuers behind him, finding him would not be easy.
So, for the short term, his situation was safe.
First heal the injuries, and once they are healed, then figure out a way to leave this place.
Having made up his mind, Lu Ye released Amber from the spirit beast sack and let Yiyi keep watch, while he himself sat down cross-legged.
He had already ingested a healing pill while on the move, and his injuries had improved somewhat.
The knife wound inflicted by Xia Liang was not serious—a mere three inches deep, just a flesh wound. With his physique and the efficacy of the healing pill, recovery was not difficult. What truly caused harm was the breach of his defenses.
The more serious injuries were to his internal organs. Tan Sheng's spear, like a whip, had fiercely struck his ribs, nearly dislocating his organs, and some of his ribs were even slightly cracked. Then, having been hit by two fire dragons, the damage to his organs became even worse.
However, Lu Ye had sustained more severe injuries than this in the past, so it was not a big problem. With enough time, he could recover.
Most urgently, he needed to quickly comprehend the vast knowledge of the Array Path in his mind to alleviate the pressure on his psyche; otherwise, he would not be able to concentrate on many matters.
Allowing the healing pill to play its part, Lu Ye circulated his spirit force to heal his injuries, while immersing himself in the gains he had obtained from the Hundred Arrays Pagoda.
As time passed, while he quietly healed himself, outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, the array cultivators of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge were bustling about. Many ancient formations that had stood for years were being undone, to the outrage—though unvoiced—of the Haotian Alliance array cultivators.
The arrays left outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, regardless of their original intent, were treasures left by the ancestors.
Many array cultivators would study these formations and corroborate their learning when they had nothing else to do.
But now, these formations, whose age was a mystery, were being broken one by one. With the way Ten Thousand Demons Ridge was going about it, they seemed intent on breaking all the arrays entirely. If this happened, the area around the Hundred Arrays Pagoda would no longer be known as a perilous land.
Of course, completely razing the numerous arrays covering thirty miles was not a simple task.

One day in a hurry, ten miles from the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, hidden within an array, Lu Ye opened his eyes and slowly exhaled.
The benefits of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda were not so easily digested, but after a day of relentless effort, the pressure on his psyche had significantly decreased. At the very least, it no longer influenced his thinking like before.
The rest could wait, there was no need to rush; he could slowly digest it later.
His physical injuries were not completely healed, but they were no longer a major concern.
After a delay of one day, it was time to leave.
Lu Ye stood up and called to Yiyi, "Let's go."
"Oh," Yiyi replied, and dashed into Amber's body, preferring not to show herself when there was a possibility of encountering strangers.
While everyone knew Lu Ye had Amber, few were aware that he also had Yiyi by his side. In certain critical moments, Yiyi could play an essential role.
Amber then hopped onto Lu Ye's shoulder, crouched down, and squinted, assuming a lazy pose.
It's worth mentioning that the cultivation of both Amber and Yiyi was now equivalent to the Cloud River Level 6.
Lu Ye had advanced to Level 6 after passing through the fifteenth layer of the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, while the breakthroughs for Yiyi and Amber came in the layers beyond. Thus, the gap in cultivation between them and Lu Ye was actually not that large.
Lu Ye's rapid improvement in cultivation was due to his daily consumption of a large amount of elixir pills, and even without the spirit fortune sticks, his cultivation was growing bit by bit, a feat unattainable by other cultivators.
That the two little ones could keep up with the pace of Lu Ye's cultivation was largely thanks to Amber.
All this time, it had been displaying this lazy demeanor, as if never getting enough sleep, which was not due to laziness but because it was continually digesting demonic pills.
Lu Ye consumed elixir pills, and Amber consumed demonic pills. Unlike Lu Ye's elixir pills, the energy contained in demonic pills was much greater, which is why Amber always appeared so. It was focusing most of its energy on digesting demonic pills.
Additionally, Lu Ye's cultivation was ultimately his own, but the two little ones were different; their cultivation process was always doubly joyful. Whoever's strength increased would benefit the other.
If one day their cultivation exceeded his own, it wouldn't surprise Lu Ye.
Boosted by the Insight Spirit Runes, Lu Ye searched for flaws in the array he was in, and soon, while preserving the array, he escaped from it.
