High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 769 - 394: Eight Breaks Mid-period! Breakthrough! (Double-Length)

Divine objects, much like the Fourth Realm of God, are segmented into distinct tiers.

Based on its immense power, the Star-Suppressing Tower is undoubtedly classified as a Second Tier divine object.

However, even within the same rank, considerable variations in power and usability exist among divine objects.

The majority demand activation by powerhouses of at least the demigod level. Jiang Ye's own experience with the First Tier divine weapon, the 'Fire Dragon Spear,' highlighted its difficulty to wield, even for him.

Yet, a select few divine objects can be activated by those below the demigod threshold. While their power might be slightly less than others of the same tier, their rarity makes them exceptionally valuable.

The Star-Suppressing Tower falls into this special category.

"Boom~"

With a surge of the Star-Suppressing Tower's might, Hei Qing unleashed a formidable sealing force that completely incarcerated Jiang Ye. This overwhelming pressure was enough to crush even a powerhouse at the Peak of Eighth Break.

"Explode!"

A golden talisman flashed into existence in Jiang Ye’s hand, and he instantly shattered it.

Whoosh~ An unseen wave emanated, seemingly intent on rending the very fabric of space.

But this wave was effortlessly subdued by the Star-Suppressing Tower, leaving nary a ripple in its wake.

"Even the Divine Escape Talisman proved ineffective?"

"As expected of a Second Tier divine object," Jiang Ye murmured with a sigh.

The item he had just destroyed was the 'Divine Escape Talisman' from Hongfang, a treasure capable of breaching spatial barriers and traversing vast distances instantly.

Unfortunately, as a mere First Tier divine object, it was insufficient against the might of a Second Tier artifact like the Star-Suppressing Tower.

"Hiss!"

Beneath the oppressive force of the Star-Suppressing Tower, agonizing cracks began to spiderweb across Jiang Ye’s body – a clear sign of him succumbing to the refining process.

Without any other recourse, Jiang Ye faced the grim prospect of being utterly disintegrated by the Star-Suppressing Tower.

"Enough..." Jiang Ye’s gaze lifted, "It appears I must unleash my full power today."

As this resolve solidified.

Buzz~ His body erupted in a blinding cascade of golden light, piercing through the deepest shadows.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands...

In mere moments, tens of thousands of golden rays emanated from Jiang Ye, transforming him into a radiant, golden sun, his form shimmering with unparalleled brilliance.

[True God-level Ultimate Skill—Immortal Golden Body]!

This nigh-invulnerable state signifies a body as indomitable as diamond, impervious to the decay of power and eternal through any tribulation!

All of this stems from the [Golden Light] painstakingly cultivated by Jiang Ye. Each filament of this light carries an eternal essence; as long as it persists, the physical form remains ageless, and the divine soul, indestructible.

The potency of the Immortal Golden Body is directly proportional to the number of golden rays it can manifest.

A single ray can ward off ordinary injuries.

A hundred rays can deflect profound techniques.

Ten thousand rays grant the blessings of immortality!

Upon reaching the Entry level of the Immortal Golden Body, one can summon ten thousand golden rays to envelop their form, rendering them unscathed through countless ordeals.

Further progression to Minor Success, Great Success, or even Perfection unlocks the ability to manifest even greater numbers of golden rays, bestowing astonishing and inconceivable capabilities.

At this critical juncture.

As these tens of thousands of golden rays surged forth, Jiang Ye’s presence amplified exponentially, granting him the strength to counteract the Star-Suppressing Tower’s relentless refining.

"What is this phenomenon?"

"Another supernatural power?" A flicker of surprise crossed Hei Qing’s features, quickly replaced by a contemptuous sneer. "Even if it is, how long can you sustain it?"

The activation of any supernatural power demands significant energy expenditure.

This principle applies equally to divine-level treasures.

Consider Hei Qing’s own use of the Star-Suppressing Tower; it, too, necessitates a colossal Ginput of energy.

However, Hei Qing, a veteran cultivator of over a century and a half, possessed an incredibly profound foundation.

A contest of attrition was a battle Jiang Ye was destined to lose.

"Refine!" Hei Qing's cold sneer echoed as he channeled his cultivation technique, intensifying the Star-Suppressing Tower's refining power.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"The captain actually managed to resist it!"

"Can he hold out much longer?"

"Let’s defeat this opponent first before aiding the captain," Zi Yaozhi, Zhao Zishuang, and the others declared, their faces etched with anxiety as they redoubled their efforts in their own battles.

Alas.

Though outnumbered, facing the ancient monster Qing Si, they struggled to achieve a swift victory. As precious time slipped by, their disadvantage became increasingly apparent.

"Hold on!"

"The captain will surely triumph," Mo Xin and the others declared through gritted teeth, steeling themselves.

...

Time marched onward.

An hour, then two, then three...

With the passage of time, beads of sweat began to form on Hei Qing's forehead, his expression growing more severe.

"Damn it!"

"How can this Jiang Ye endure this?" Hei Qing raged inwardly. "It's been over three hours, and his supernatural power shows no sign of depletion?"

"This cannot be."

"If this drags on, I'll be unable to sustain it." Hei Qing's face was etched with grimness.

The activation of the Star-Suppressing Tower placed an immense strain upon him as well.

Yet, within the confines of the starry enclosure, Jiang Ye remained utterly composed.

Engage in a battle of attrition? Jiang Ye let out a silent laugh!

He practiced the True God-level technique, the White Dragon True Divine Scripture, and in terms of raw foundation, no other cultivation method could possibly surpass it.

Even other True God-level techniques might falter when compared to its fundamental strength!

It is precisely this profound accumulation of foundation that empowers the "White Dragon True Divine Scripture" to tread an invincible path the moment it ascends to divinity.

"Beginning from the Fifth Break, the White Dragon True Divine Scripture subtly unfolds its true might."

"From that point forward, the star energy my Guanyuan Acupoint could contain surpassed that of my peers by severalfold." Jiang Ye mused, "Now, it exceeds theirs by more than ten times."

"You wish to contend with me in a war of attrition?"

"I can accompany you until the very end." Jiang Ye's gaze was like ice.

Buzz!

He stood amidst the star-strewn expanse, the golden radiance within his body showing no signs of waning; instead, it blazed with increasing intensity, much like dry wood catching flame.

The Immortal Golden Body, as a supreme skill of the True God level, undoubtedly demands a significant expenditure.

However, the White Dragon True Divine Scripture possessed the capacity to sustain it!

"Hoo~"

At this precise moment, the colossal Star-Suppressing Tower abruptly shrank in size, transforming instantly into a stream of light and returning to Hei Qing's hand.
