Jiang Ye emerged from seclusion after a month and led his team through the Starry Sky Corridor to leave the planet. Sensing persistent threats from the Cangxu Civilization targeting him as a C-Level kill target, they exited into a sealed starry sky ambushed by two peak Sixth Break powerhouses, Hei Qing and Qing Si. The enemies unleashed massive Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspects and launched devastating twin blade attacks.

This strike is utterly horrifying in its terror.

"Fatian Xiangdi!" Jiang Ye activated the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect without delay. A colossal figure reaching sixteen thousand meters emerged, brandishing a long spear to counter the incoming assault.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted from the clash, quaking the skies and the ground.

"What?"

"A ten-thousand-meter Dharma Aspect?" Hei Qing felt a jolt of shock, yet soon he exhaled in relief: "Its strength matches mine; it looks like merely a divine power."

Manifesting a ten-thousand-meter Dharma Aspect requires reaching the Ninth Break in mystery level.

Yet the might shown by Jiang Ye fell far short of Ninth Break prowess.

"Fatian Xiangdi," a True God-level Ultimate Skill despite its status, failed to bridge two Great Realms in one go.

"A divine power? I've got one as well!" Hei Qing sneered as brilliant radiance exploded from his twin sabers.

Wow!

Amid the pitch-black starry expanse, streams of five-colored lights rushed forward, swiftly gathering onto his dual sabers. Abruptly, a radiant saber beam pierced the heavens, lighting up the endless cosmos.

"The Five Mysteries?"

"Five Mysteries fused with Saber Technique?" Jiang Ye's pupils contracted sharply.

Hei Qing's grasp of the Five Basic Mysteries didn't shock Jiang Ye much.

Since even Hongfang had comprehended four kinds of mysteries, it would be odd if this ancient monster over a century old couldn't master five.

The saber intent was what genuinely stunned Jiang Ye!

This saber intent clearly showed signs of blending with the Five Mysteries... Such rarity! Jiang Ye succeeded only because his Luoshen Spear Technique was his original creation.

The Luoshen Spear Technique naturally carries the trait of encompassing everything.

Under the careful instruction from the Black Obsidian Deity, Jiang Ye's spear arts slowly integrated the Five Mysteries, transforming into the ’Five Spirits Luoshen Spear.’

Jiang Ye understood perfectly how heaven-defyingly difficult that feat was.

"No, that's wrong."

"It's not the Five Mysteries merging with Saber Technique." Jiang Ye's face changed abruptly: "It feels more like some divine power..."

Countless ideas raced through Jiang Ye's thoughts.

That fearsome saber beam was already hurtling toward Jiang Ye.

"Five Spirits!" Jiang Ye clutched his long spear firmly and thrust it forward.

"Crash~" Five-colored radiance erupted as immense heavenly mysteries flooded in, dramatically boosting that spear strike's might to supreme heights.

Boom!

Spear radiance smashed into saber radiance, ripping the void asunder. Amid the horrifying clash, they mutually devoured each other until both vanished at the same instant.

"It truly is a divine power."

Jiang Ye brimmed with praise: "Even without fully uniting heaven and earth mysteries with Saber Technique, it unleashes impressive might—truly impressive..."

The creator of this divine power had to be a genius of extraordinary caliber.

After all.

Only martial strategies that truly blend heaven and earth mysteries represent the ultimate martial dao, though this route proves impossibly arduous for most.

Still, Hei Qing's divine power employed a detour. Though the approach differed, its effects bore a striking similarity.

Naturally, its potency remained a touch weaker than the supreme martial path.

In stark contrast to Jiang Ye's awe, Hei Qing reeled in complete disbelief.

"This divine power came from the North Star Deity, subordinate to Venerable Tian Cang, said to annihilate all equals."

"Yet this Wang Ye blocked it?" Hei Qing's eyes quivered violently.

He had anticipated that unleashing this technique would leave Jiang Ye gravely wounded or dead.

His mystery level already surpassed Jiang Ye's by default.

Paired with this strike, victory seemed assured.

But the reality?

"I've trained for more than one hundred fifty years to reach this power." Hei Qing mused inwardly: "While intel says this Wang Ye is merely a few decades old."

Matching a century-old fiend after just decades? A monstrous talent!

"I must end you here!"

This realization struck Hei Qing, prompting him to glance suddenly at a nearby battlefield.

There, Qing Si's five-thousand-meter Dharma Aspect clashed with Zi Yaozhi and his allies.

"These worthless fools!"

"Taking so long against mere weaklings?" Hei Qing's face darkened immediately.

He remained unaware.

Zi Yaozhi and company alone couldn't hold off Qing Si.

However, Zi Yaozhi's team now benefited from the ’Territorial Expansion’ enhancement!

Territorial Expansion's power had surged with a 30 (+150%) amplification.

This granted nearly twice the enhancement to everyone involved!

Zi Yaozhi stood as a Seven Break expert, the top prodigy of Barbaric Dragon Star prior to Jiang Ye's coming. Now, amplified by this double surge, his might grew immensely fiercer.

Yet despite that, Zi Yaozhi along with his allies could scarcely match Qing Si... That ancient fiend from a century past held strength not matching Hei Qing's, yet utterly horrifying all the same.

...

"Seems that worthless Qing Si won't deliver."

"Fine then." Hei Qing drew in a heavy breath: "We'll handle Jiang Ye before anything else."

With that resolve, his inner aura erupted in savage fury.

Buzz! Invisible waves rippled outward, swiftly blanketing the whole battlefield.

Three Extraordinary Domains materialized!

He actually commanded three Extraordinary Domains, this Hei Qing!!

The level of an extraordinary depends not on domain count, but their potency.

Hei Qing's trio of domains fell short of Jiang Ye's excellence, yet vastly outshone Hongfang's.

Not Third Tier Extraordinary caliber, yet leagues beyond typical Low-Tier Extraordinary.

Evidently, he ranked as Second Tier Extraordinary!

Though outranked by Jiang Ye, Hei Qing drew on his Late Period Eighth Break mastery to deploy three Extraordinary Domains, slamming immense strain onto Jiang Ye.

"Whew!" "Whew!"

Jiang Ye activated Domain of Control and Domain of Suppression, yet managed only to resist feebly, powerless to budge his foe.

"Your extraordinary rank truly surpasses mine."

"Does it matter?" Hei Qing's gaze brimmed with intensified murderous zeal: "Star-Suppressing Tower!"

A hushed roar escaped him as a miniature tower manifested, swelling rapidly.

Moments later, a colossal Star-Suppressing Tower loomed, etched in stellar motifs, radiating crushing might like it could pin down the very stars.

Undoubtedly, a Divine Level artifact.

"Rise!" Hei Qing pointed skyward, channeling five mighty Mysteries to ignite the Star-Suppressing Tower.

Ten thousand beams erupted from the Star-Suppressing Tower, unleashing a fearsome presence brimming with infinite suppression.

"Suppress." Hei Qing growled lowly, propelling the Star-Suppressing Tower down upon Jiang Ye.

"What immense pressure." Jiang Ye's expression darkened gravely; without hesitation, he summoned the Ashen Law.

"Hua~"

Gray energies billowed forth in vast quantities, forming a massive gray palm that smashed straight into the Star-Suppressing Tower.

Rumble~

A ferocious clash erupted between them, triggering a massive quake.

"Buzz buzz!" Blinding radiance exploded across the Star-Suppressing Tower's frame; its stellar etchings stirred to life, racing swiftly, then an unseen surge blasted out.

"Crack!"

Upon contact with the gray palm, violent shudders wracked it, spawning myriad fissures.

Cracks proliferated visibly, racing from fingers clear to the wrist foundation.

In a flash.

The Ashen Law's massive hand exploded apart like shattered crystal, dissolving into scattered light specks.

Conversely, the Star-Suppressing Tower merely quivered faintly, its glow fading slightly, as it pressed relentlessly toward Jiang Ye.

"Such a shame..." Jiang Ye murmured with a soft sigh.

For the first time, his invincible Ashen Law revealed its limits.

No helping it—the disparity proved too vast.

Ashen Law lingered at Peak of Seventh Break merely, whereas Hei Qing's wielding elevated the Star-Suppressing Tower to Peak of Eighth Break might, surpassing even that.

"Hahaha."

"Bestowed by Beiming God, this Star-Suppressing Tower." Hei Qing bellowed in triumph: "Trapped beneath it, not even a Peak of Eighth Break like you can break free!"

"Crush him!"

His roar intensified, pouring more force into the Star-Suppressing Tower.

"Huala~!" Gilded chains lashed out from the Star-Suppressing Tower, ensnaring Jiang Ye.

These golden chains moved at blinding speed, arriving in under a heartbeat.

Pinioned by the Star-Suppressing Tower, Jiang Ye couldn't flee, forced to witness the chains closing in.

In a flash.

The chains coiled around Jiang Ye, locking him utterly beneath the Star-Suppressing Tower.

"Captain!"

"Brother Wang." Zi Yaozhi, Zhao Zishuang, and their comrades saw this, faces twisting in shock.

Beneath the oppressive force of the Star-Suppressing Tower, Jiang Ye's aura swiftly diminished, utterly overwhelmed and crushed.

"Hahaha."

"Jiang Ye, surrender and give up already." Hei Qing's laughter grew even wilder as he activated his cultivation technique: "Star Source Lock Fiend, Heavenly Pivot Coalescence, Star Imprisoning Cage, Refine!"

Instantly, boundless energy erupted through the golden chains, crafting a sealing prison that trapped Jiang Ye entirely, intent on refining him alive.

"It’s over."

"The captain is totally suppressed."

"Are we truly destined to perish right here today?" Mo Xin, Zhao Zishuang, and the others went deathly pale.
