Chapter 2839: He is Lu Yiye, I am Lu Yiyi

In the depths of the starry sky, two streams of light streaked past, one after another, seemingly in pursuit and escape.

The leading stream of light enveloped a massive and powerful White Tiger, its back adorned with a pair of wings. With each powerful beat of its fleshy wings, it moved with the speed of a shooting star. On the White Tiger's back rode a young girl, her face etched with anxiety and helplessness.

Lately, the starry sky had seen a surge of invading enemies, all of them being Harmony realm cultivators. Most of these individuals were after supreme treasures, but they naturally wouldn't pass up anything else that caught their interest.

The White Tiger, being one of the Four Divine Beasts, was exceedingly rare even across the entire Star Abyss. The girl and the White Tiger's movements were inadvertently discovered by the Harmony realm cultivator behind them, who had since pursued them relentlessly.

It was fortunate that both of them had recently advanced to the Harmony realm; otherwise, they would have been captured long ago.

However, days of constant flight had left the White Tiger showing faint signs of exhaustion. The girl knew that if they didn't come up with a plan soon, they would be caught.

Yet, the Harmony realm cultivator's aura had them both firmly locked, making escape seem impossible.

The girl's gaze slowly hardened. If that was the case, they would just have to fight for it!

Just as she made up her mind, an unusual fluctuation seemed to emanate from a nearby realm. Immediately after, a strange phenomenon appeared in the starry sky in that direction.

The girl caught sight of it from the corner of her eye and widened her eyes in astonishment, momentarily losing focus.

Even the White Tiger beneath her reacted similarly.

“Nowhere to run!” a fierce shout suddenly came from behind them.

“Oh no!” The girl's heart jolted. The sudden appearance of the phenomenon had distracted both her and the White Tiger, causing the distance between them and their pursuer to rapidly close.

Feeling the surge of power approaching from behind, the girl gritted her teeth and cried out, “Amber!”

At the same time, she darted backward, her body rapidly becoming ethereal. She phased through the terrifying attack and collided directly with the enemy. In an instant, the girl's figure became like nothingness, vanishing from sight.

The pursuing Harmony realm cultivator's entire body trembled, his gaze momentarily freezing.

Seizing this opportunity, Amber lunged forward, opening its massive jaws to snap at his head.

If that bite had connected, he would have been severely injured, if not killed.

However, at that very instant, the Harmony realm cultivator suddenly roared, “Get out!”

With a cry of alarm, the girl who had just entered his body screamed. She seemed to be repelled by immense force, flying back out from him, her face slightly pale. Clearly, she had suffered an unexpected blow.

The Harmony realm cultivator then raised his hand and struck, hitting Amber's massive head with a palm strike. This caused Amber's body to veer sideways, blood splattering on the spot.

“So it's a soul body, no wonder there were no life fluctuations,” the Harmony realm cultivator mused, looking at the girl beside him, an understanding expression flashing across his face. “I see, you are the White Tiger's Resentful Spirit!”

As he spoke, his eyes darted to Amber, and he glared menacingly. “Beast, I'll give you a chance: surrender to me, or I'll destroy this Resentful Spirit first!”

As he spoke, powerful soul energy surged forth. The formidable soul power of a high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator overflowed, becoming almost tangible, instantly forming a cage that bound the girl.

Amber snarled, its eyes blazing red.

“Still defiant!” the Harmony realm cultivator roared, intensely activating his soul power. The girl, still bound in place, grunted in pain, her face growing even paler.

Amber immediately ceased its roar, emitting only a low whimper from its throat.

“That's better!” The Harmony realm cultivator smiled. It seemed there was a deep bond between the White Tiger and the Resentful Spirit, which made things much easier. He simply needed to threaten the Resentful Spirit's life to make the White Tiger submit.

It was well known that the Four Divine Beasts were inherently untamed, and attempting to subdue them by brute force alone was almost impossible.

“You want to take Amber?” the girl softly asked at that moment.

“What if I do?” The Harmony realm cultivator tilted his head to look at her. It was obvious; why else would he have bothered pursuing them for so long?

Suddenly, the girl laughed, an incredibly joyful sound despite her imprisonment.

“What are you laughing at?” The Harmony realm cultivator was annoyed.

“Just look over there!” The girl pointed to the side.

When the strange phenomenon appeared in the nearby realm, not only had the girl and Amber seen it, but this Harmony realm cultivator had also witnessed it, even sensing the aura of a treasure from it.

“Look at what?” The Harmony realm cultivator frowned.

“His name is Lu Yiye, and I'm Lu Yiyi!” the girl declared. “Amber belongs to him. If you dare take Amber, just wait for him to come and deal with you!”

“Him?” The Harmony realm cultivator laughed dismissively upon hearing this. “Just a mere Starry Sky cultivator…”

He didn't finish his sentence, suddenly frowning.

He suddenly felt that the name Lu Yiye sounded faintly familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Moreover, within the strange phenomenon's light screen, a figure with its back turned had arrived before a Heaven-tier city. Though solitary, the figure exuded an aura capable of devouring mountains and rivers, as he slowly drew the long blade from his waist.

That person… wants to breach the city? This thought involuntarily surfaced in the Harmony realm cultivator's mind, but then he quickly dismissed it, believing he must be overthinking.

Although it was merely a Heaven-tier city, let alone a Starry Sky cultivator, even he, a high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator who had spent years in the inner realms, would find it difficult to breach it alone.

Such arrogance was surely destined to end in embarrassment.

In the Heavenly Gang Star System, before the Qiankun Cauldron.

As Lu Ye stood firm and drew his blade, many invading enemies also harbored the same suspicions as the high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator.

That person… is he going to breach the city?

Inside the Heaven-tier city, the City Lord's face darkened further, and he sternly asked, “Friend, what is your intention?”

Lu Ye clearly appeared to be hostile, but in the current situation, the City Lord dared not underestimate such an individual.

His question received no reply. Lu Ye simply raised the Mountain-Breaking Blade in his hand. After just two breaths, a layer of emerald green light shimmered on the blade.

Behind him, Su Yuqing, holding a potted plant, saw nothing else but his tall, firm figure.

She didn't know how difficult it was to breach a Heaven-tier city, but she had complete faith in Lu Ye.

As his Dao power surged, the long blade came down with a resounding strike!

Even before this, the Heaven-tier City Lord had activated his city's defenses to their maximum.

However, with that single strike, the defensive light barrier sharply caved in. Empowered by the Dragon Vein, immense force was unleashed, causing the entire Harmony city to violently shake.

Many cultivators within the city instantly lost their footing.

This single strike not only made the Heaven-tier City Lord's face twist in shock but also filled many Harmony realm cultivators watching nearby with alarm.

The reason was simple: the sheer savagery of the physical power Lu Ye displayed. Had they not witnessed it firsthand, it would have been hard to imagine a human body containing such world-destroying physical strength.

Before they could even fully process their surprise, an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

At the point where the blade met the light barrier, the thick defensive shield, imbued with the emerald green light, began to rapidly melt as if a candle had encountered fire.

The blade sliced into the barrier, tearing open a direct gap under the Heaven-tier City Lord's utterly horrified gaze!

The entire process took no more than three breaths!

During this time, he had tried to use the formation jade token to activate the grand formation for repairs and defense, but it was utterly useless.

A blur of motion, and the young man holding the blade stood before him.

“You…” The Heaven-tier City Lord's expression changed, and he instinctively recoiled.

As blade light flashed, a scream erupted, blood splattered, and he fell backward, face-up.

However, he did not die. Lu Ye had held back, only severely wounding him, not taking his life.

A streak of blood light shot out from Lu Ye's body, transforming into a rope that securely bound the Heaven-tier City Lord.

A Bloodline secret art: Blood Binding Lock!

Lu Ye had already moved past him, heading toward the central hall.

The cultivators watching nearby couldn't clearly see what was happening inside the central hall, but the strange phenomenon's light screens scattered across the starry sky clearly reflected the events.

As Lu Ye burst into the central hall, one of the Harmony realm cultivators stationed there was about to use a Harmony Orb to escape into the Harmony Realm, clearly terrified by the scene of their City Lord failing to withstand even a single strike from Lu Ye.

However, he was still a step too late. As a blade light slashed out, the Harmony Orb shattered.

As more blade lights swept forth, screams echoed one after another. Neither Harmony realm nor Dao Fusion realm cultivators had any power to resist beneath these blade lights.

By the time Lu Ye emerged from the central hall, all the cultivators in the Heaven-tier city were bound in place by the Blood Binding Lock.

In an unnamed star system, the high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator watched the scene projected from the nearby realm, his eye twitching.

He had just claimed that a mere Starry Sky cultivator was beneath his notice, but now, witnessing such might, it was simply unbelievable.

Was this really the power a Starry Sky cultivator could possess?

What a joke!

Beside him, Yiyi and Amber watched intently, equally shocked beyond belief.

Suddenly, the high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator seemed to remember something, his pupils constricting as he looked at Yiyi. “What did you say his name was?”

“Lu Yiye!”

“And yours?”

“Lu Yiyi!”

“Lu Yiyi, Lu Yiye…” The high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator's eye twitched even more violently. “What's your relationship?”

Yiyi glanced at him. “What do you think?”

Under normal circumstances, Yiyi's attitude would have provoked the high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator to teach her a lesson, but now, he was filled with apprehension.

He had finally recalled why the name Lu Yiye sounded familiar. Before coming to this One-Origin Starry Sky, he had heard a similar name in the Harmony Realm.

However, that name wasn't Lu Yiye; it was Lu Ye, missing one character.

But both were human!

Both were blade cultivators!

Both used long blades!

It was rumored that this human, Lu Ye, was a rising star comparable to the Ten Great City Lords. Previously, he had even fought Xuan Wuzong of Ten-Step City one-on-one without falling behind, even injuring Xuan Wuzong.

Similar name, matching other characteristics… This wasn't some Lu Yiye; this was clearly *that* Lu Ye!

This is bad.

The high-ranking Harmony realm cultivator's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He knew he was far inferior to Xuan Wuzong. If a powerful expert like Lu Ye set his sights on him, he would surely meet a terrible end.

Setting aside whether this Resentful Spirit named Lu Yiyi had any close relationship with Lu Ye, according to Lu Yiyi, that White Tiger belonged to Lu Ye.

This starry sky might even be the very starry sky where Lu Ye originated!

Having provoked such a formidable expert and invaded his starry sky, what good outcome could there possibly be?
