Jiang Ye successfully masked his identity from Wang Zilu, who recognized him from a past encounter. They were transported to the dangerous Destruction Star Domain, the ancestral land of the Bai Race. Prince Zijun offered them protection, but Jiang Ye decided to explore the perilous new location. Meanwhile, Wang Zilu hinted that Jiang Ye's friend Chen Zilu may have already left Blue Star, leaving Jiang Ye suspicious.

"Is some kind of battle unfolding?" Jiang Ye and his companions turned their gazes in unison.

Even from a distance spanning thousands of miles, the intensity was palpable; the clash must be extraordinarily fierce!

"It’s coming from over there."

"Let’s proceed." With a flash, Prince Zijun became a streak of radiant light, soaring towards the source of the commotion.

...

Deep within the confines of the Initial Realm, a colossal square hovered, adorned with imposing divine statues. These statues bore numerous cracks, their auras diminished, yet faint outlines of nine dragons coiled like crowns were still discernible, hinting at a bygone grandeur.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Within the Divine Statue Square, two distinct factions were locked in a brutal confrontation.

While categorized into two sides, the battle was effectively bifurcated into ground and aerial arenas.

On the ground level.

"Hahaha."

"Bai Mu, this supposed direct descendant of the Huanglong Divine Race appears quite unremarkable!" A hulking man, brandishing a battle axe in each hand and sporting a thick beard, erupted in laughter: "You can’t even withstand a single strike from me; that’s the extent of your prowess."

"What drivel about the Huanglong Divine Race; it’s merely a name devoid of substance!"

The bearded man, wielding his formidable battle axes, unleashed an overbearing aura that permeated the surroundings, instilling extreme terror.

Moreover, six other individuals of comparable might were present.

Seven Grand Masters!

Positioned behind these seven formidable figures were numerous other combatants exuding potent auras; while not on par with the seven, they were nonetheless exceptionally powerful.

At the heart of their encirclement was Bai Mu, leading the contingent from the Bai Race.

"Cangxu Civilization… Haisan Civilization!"

Bai Mu, clad in gleaming white armor, was now stained crimson with blood.

His expression grim, he clenched his teeth and declared: "You have conspired today to annihilate my race. Should I survive this day, I vow to repay this transgression a hundredfold in the future!"

"Hahaha!"

"Bai Mu, have you not yet grasped the gravity of your situation?" The bearded man with the battle axes guffawed: "Within the Initial Realm, virtually all your Huanglong Nine Great Divine Race teams have been decimated by our forces and the Haisan Civilization."

"No one will arrive to offer salvation!"

"Your sole remaining hope lies within the aerial combat zone…" The bearded man gestured skyward.

Various streams of light crisscrossed the heavens above.

While the intensity of the battle in the sky seemed somewhat subdued compared to the ground conflict, it was universally understood that the celestial arena held the ultimate key to victory.

The reason was simple.

High above, the gifted individuals were engaged in their crucial contest.

The downfall of the Huanglong Divine Race’s previous teams stemmed from their exceptionally talented members being overwhelmed by the combined might of the two allied civilizations.

The truly gifted are not easily vanquished.

However, once these prodigies are defeated, those supporting them, despite their extraordinary abilities, are inevitably doomed to slaughter.

"Our race and the Haisan Civilization have dispatched three exceptionally talented individuals this time," the bearded man sneered. "Yet, you possess but a single one."

"Your sole talent might struggle to even escape on her own; how could you possibly expect her to descend and rescue you?"

"Cease these futile dreams!" the bearded man roared with laughter.

"Luo Qian, cease this pointless banter with them," interjected a young man with silver hair, his voice cold and sharp. "Proceed with their eradication."

His words implied they were nothing more than mere livestock awaiting slaughter.

"Hehe." The bearded Luo Qian chuckled: "I had intended to prolong their humiliation, but since Hai Yin has decreed it, so be it."

With that declaration.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

A terrifying aura radiated from the seven masters, engulfing the entire vicinity and sealing the surrounding space for miles.

Evidently.

Each of these seven masters represented a peak-level power, comparable to Bai Mu, if not surpassing him in strength.

"It appears to be the end."

"Prepare for a final stand." Within Bai Mu’s beleaguered team, a woman draped in white gauze, possessed of breathtaking beauty, surveyed the scene with despair.

She was known as Bai Xi.

Only a few days prior, she could never have envisioned finding herself in such a dire predicament.

"Let us perish alongside them!" Fiery determination blazed in Bai Xi’s eyes.

Her decision to join Bai Mu’s team was not born from a fear of death, but rather the pursuit of greater opportunities and rewards.

Even now, facing the abyss of annihilation, she harbored no regrets.

Having chosen this path, she was resolved to see it through to its ultimate conclusion, even if it meant embracing death.

However, just as Bai Xi readied herself for a desperate final confrontation.

"Boom!"

A sudden, concussive sound reverberated from the heavens.

Eight streaks of brilliant light descended from above, carrying with them an aura of immense power and a commanding presence that seemed poised to dominate the entire scene.

"What is this?"

"Could that be…?" Bai Mu, Bai Xi, and the others were rendered speechless.

Simultaneously, the bearded Luo Qian, the frigid silver-haired Hai Yin, and their allies were also taken aback.

Could it be that reinforcements were indeed arriving from the sky?

Before long, the eight descending streaks of light resolved into distinct figures, revealing none other than the team led by Jiang Ye and Wang Zilu.

"What?"

"Is that Jiang Ye? How could he possibly be here as well?" Bai Xi's countenance shifted dramatically, and she urgently transmitted a message: "Flee, swiftly!"

Although she had voluntarily separated from Jiang Ye’s group in the past,

as a member of the Barbaric Dragon Star, she absolutely did not wish for her team to perish alongside her.

"Flee!" Bai Mu also transmitted urgently, his voice filled with rage.

At this current juncture, Jiang Ye and his companions were still a considerable distance from the ground. Should they choose to turn back and escape immediately, a slim possibility of survival might still exist.

However, what transpired next left both Bai Mu and Bai Xi utterly dumbfounded.

Jiang Ye and his entourage descended from the heavens, accompanied by a spear radiance so potent it seemed capable of shattering the very fabric of existence.

"Swish!"

The spear radiance rent the sky and earth, outshining even the sun and moon with its brilliance. It carried an annihilating power, directly assaulting the seven formidable experts.

Upon a more discerning examination, it became apparent that the spectacle was not truly the light of the sun and moon at all;

it was, in fact, the spear light itself, so dazzling and magnificent that it eclipsed the proud sun and the bright moon in the firmament!

[Ashen Law]

The Ashen Law, when wielded at the Eight Breaks level, possesses the ability to reconstitute all things, absorbing everything for its use, and even light is not an exception!

"Boom!" A devastating spear light, infused with the world-destroying might of the Ashen Law, descended in an instant.

"Clang!!"

These seven great experts were no ordinary individuals; they immediately deployed their most potent abilities to counter this terrifying spear thrust.

Nevertheless,

two of the experts were unable to withstand the assault and were impaled by the spear light on the spot.

"Poof~"

The terrifying Power of Laws erupted instantaneously, engulfing them and reducing them to mere ashes without delay.

Not even a trace of blood remained.

...

Dead silence.

An overwhelming silence permeated the scene.

This horrifying spectacle cast the entire ground battlefield into a state of unprecedented quietude.

"That spear?"

"Instantly killed two great experts?"

"This? This is impossible?" Luo Qian, Hai Yin, and numerous other coalition members displayed expressions of utter shock.

Even though the spear had appeared unexpectedly.

With their capabilities, they should have been able to employ various methods to defend against it.

Yet, not everyone would immediately resort to their life-saving treasures, as these were finite resources and could not be expended regularly.

Furthermore, who could have foreseen that Jiang Ye would unleash such a devastating ultimate move from the very outset, creating such a profound impact?

It was precisely due to the seven great experts misjudging the situation that the spear managed to claim two lives instantly.

For a moment, Luo Qian and Hai Yin regarded Jiang Ye with wary eyes.

In contrast to their apprehension,

Bai Xi was completely stunned.

"One spear, instantly killing two individuals?"

"Is this? Is this truly Jiang Ye?" Bai Xi could scarcely trust her own vision.

If Jiang Ye possessed such formidable strength, why had she chosen to depart from his team previously?

Would that not render her actions utterly foolish!

...

"Only two were eliminated?" Jiang Ye frowned slightly, remarking, "It appears that the formidable aliens present must be the most elite talents of the Cangxu Civilization."

The spear attack just now.

Even if it were considered his utmost effort, it only managed to eliminate two adversaries... the remaining five would undoubtedly pose a far greater challenge.

"So, it was you?"

"The one who brought about the demise of Hongfang and Hei Qing." The formidable, bearded Luo Qian suddenly stated with a cold intensity, "Jiang Ye, today, you shall meet your end!"

"Hmm?"

"Is this individual under Mo Wushuang's command?" Jiang Ye questioned Luo Qian, his own gaze emanating a palpable murderous intent.

"Hai Yin, this opponent's might is not to be underestimated." Luo Qian conveyed in a low tone, "Engage with your full power, and eliminate him first!"

"Understood." Hai Yin and the others offered slight nods in agreement.

"Attack!" Luo Qian bellowed explosively, initiating the engagement. He brandished a pair of battle axes, unleashing two sky-splitting arcs of light that surged directly towards Jiang Ye.

"Trivial techniques." Jiang Ye's gaze turned frigid. A flash of light emanated from his hand as a large bow materialized.

Archery · Piercing Star!

In an instant, tens of thousands of arrow lights converged, and under the shroud of unseen laws, they unerringly immobilized Luo Qian, Hai Yin, and the others in place.
