High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 744 - 385: Heaven’s Chosen Talent! Seizing Fortune

Within the City Lord’s Mansion of Black Obsidian City.

As Jiang Ye showed up, he spotted Zhao Zishuang and Mo Xin clad in golden battle armor, both standing by in wait.

All three had conquered the 9th Layer of the Black Tower, securing their spots to advance to Huanglong Main Star.

"Since everyone is here, let’s set off," the Black Obsidian Deity declared.

A sweep of his broad sleeve unleashed an unseen power that wrapped around the trio.

Jiang Ye sensed a dizzying whirl and spinning as the environment shifted in a blur.

In a mere instant, Jiang Ye and his companions materialized in an endless void, engulfed by perpetual darkness, with only dim glimmers piercing the distant expanse.

"Is this... space?" Though Jiang Ye had never ventured into space before, his cultivation level let him grasp it immediately.

This was truly the boundless starry expanse!

Still, it exuded profound barrenness.

"Barbaric Dragon Star." Jiang Ye spun around to behold a colossal earth-yellow planet drifting behind them.

Tremendously vast, boasting a diameter exceeding a million kilometers, yet mostly a wasteland of desolation radiating bleak vibes.

"Wow~"

The far void shimmered faintly, spawning figures from nowhere. These were the prodigies who cleared the Black Tower’s 9th Layer.

In their midst stood Zi Yaozhi and Bai Xi, faces Jiang Ye recognized from before.

"Wang Ye?" Bai Xi, draped in a flowing white gauze dress, fixed her gaze on Jiang Ye, eyes brimming with gentle affection tinged with resentment.

Jiang Ye started in surprise, then recalled his prior rejection of her friend request.

He had assumed his mission was complete, poised to exit this world anytime.

Who would have thought he’d end up in the Star Domain Battlefield later?

"Hello." Jiang Ye feigned ignorance, flashing her a light smile.

Bai Xi froze, a flicker of bewilderment in her eyes.

"Strange."

"Did he not receive my friend request?" Bai Xi batted her stunning eyes in confusion.

On the other side.

Zi Yaozhi, armored in purple-gold, kept his eyes on Jiang Ye.

"Brother Wang Ye."

"I heard you defeated my clone in the Black Tower." Zi Yaozhi sent with a grin via transmission: "If you have time, shall we spar?"

Jiang Ye glanced his way.

The curiosity laced in his voice came through crystal clear.

"Sure." Jiang Ye gave a nod.

"Brother Wang Ye, you are straightforward." A spark of amusement lit Zi Yaozhi’s eyes.

The defeat of his clone didn’t faze him—it was merely a clone, after all.

Plus, it dated back a year.

For a prodigy like Zi Yaozhi, one year brought massive transformations.

Hence, befriending Jiang Ye was his main goal.

Heading to the Star Domain Battlefield together, both hailing from Barbaric Dragon Star, they naturally gravitated toward alliance.

Not only Zi Yaozhi—plenty of other geniuses thought likewise.

"Brother Wang Ye, I am Hong Di from Red Obsidian City, would you like to get acquainted?"

"I’m Zi Feng from Purple Obsidian City, shall we form a team in the Star Domain Battlefield?"

"Brother Wang Ye, include me; I have excellent treasure hunting skills."

"..."

Numerous geniuses transmitted to Jiang Ye, even those who scaled the Black Tower’s 10th Layer.

Usually top-tier talents in their ancient cities with lofty positions.

Yet now?

They all approached Jiang Ye with humility.

Jiang Ye took this in stride.

In the Star Domain Battlefield, powerhouses often teamed up. Sharing spoils came with boosted survival odds.

Entering unknown turf, reliable comrades proved invaluable. Folks like Zi Yaozhi and Bai Xi made solid partners.

Swiftly.

He assembled Zi Yaozhi, Zi Feng, Bai Xi, and more into an alliance.

"Zhao Zishuang, would you like to join us?" Jiang Ye eyed the aloof girl close by.

"I..."

"No need." Zhao Zishuang shook her head: "I have other plans."

"Oh?" Jiang Ye raised a brow in mild shock.

"Don’t worry about me." Zhao Zishuang replied: "I have enough life-saving items to explore on my own."

"Alright." Jiang Ye let it drop.

A glint of resolve shone in Zhao Zishuang’s eyes. If Jiang Ye matched her power, she’d likely join.

But the chasm in strength was too wide; tagging along would burden him.

She refused to drag anyone down.

Jiang Ye paid it no mind; his invite stemmed from past ties.

Her refusal meant no pressure from him.

"Wow~"

The void quaked once more, birthing a towering white-robed figure that blazed light across the cosmos.

"Star Lord."

"Greetings, Star Lord," the geniuses chorused with bows.

"It’s the Star Lord." Jiang Ye marveled inwardly.

This White-robed Star Lord’s presence nearly blanketed all of Barbaric Dragon Star.

A colossal shadow loomed behind Him, staggeringly immense, as if one palm could cradle the whole world.

"Is this... the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect?" Jiang Ye wondered in awe.

A Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect dwarfing planets.

What terrifying might!

"To rule a star demands at least the second deity realm," Jiang Ye realized.

...

"Children."

"The Star Domain Battlefield teeters on life and death, hiding vast fortunes." The White-robed Star Lord’s voice boomed: "Forge yourselves in blood and flames, find your path, and return laden with gains....."

All hung on his every word.

This marked the Star Lord’s parting guidance.

"Remember, if you encounter the talents of the Cangxu Civilization, do not linger in battle." The White-robed Star Lord boomed: "Escape the battlefield as soon as possible and report immediately."
