High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 780 - 398: What So-Called Prodigy? Break for Me!

The 'Child of Destiny,' from the perspective of the masses, has always been a figure blessed with invincibility.

Endowed with boundless fortune and an arsenal of life-saving treasures, their demise is exceedingly rare unless they actively court death. Yet, here we are.

A Child of Destiny has been brutally annihilated in plain sight!

"Hahaha!"

"Huanglong, you've been defeated!" Luo Qian bellowed in triumph, "Bai Mu, you too have fallen!"

"Hualala~"

The combined forces of the Cangxu and Haisan Civilizations erupted in exultation. The demise of a Child of Destiny from the Huanglong Civilization signaled the end of the 'Celestial Battlefield' confrontation.

What would follow was nothing short of a one-sided slaughter!

"No."

"Impossible." Bai Mu stared at the scene, his eyes wide with despair and terror. "How could we have possibly lost?"

"Sister Qingmei!" Wang Zilu's disbelief was even more profound. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears as she rushed towards Qingmei without a second thought.

At that precise moment.

"Buzz~"

From the epicenter of the massive crater, a ripple emanated from Qingmei, her body quivering slightly. This sign sent shivers of dread through Bai Mu and the others, immediately followed by overwhelming relief.

Qingmei was still alive!

"Sister Qingmei!" Wang Zilu cried out, her heart soaring with joy. "I knew you wouldn't die!"

But the very next second, Qingmei's words plunged her into an abyss of despair.

"Run."

"Escape, at all costs..." Qingmei's voice was frail, yet it resonated with every powerhouse from the Huanglong Civilization present. "They... have four."

Qingmei's revelation caused Wang Zilu's expression to falter dramatically. "Then what about my brother?"

"Cough, cough... he won't last much longer." Qingmei coughed up a mouthful of blood, her myriad wounds splitting further. Each injury pulsed with the terrifying Power of Laws, actively disintegrating her cells and flesh.

Given Qingmei's capabilities, even the most grievous injuries should have healed swiftly. Her inability to recover indicated she was on the verge of collapse.

"Zilu, you must flee quickly."

"I will cover your retreat." A surge of profound resentment flashed in Qingmei's eyes as she clenched her jaw and pushed herself to stand.

"Sister Qingmei, I don't want to leave!" Wang Zilu's eyes were crimson with unshed tears.

"Go now!" Qingmei urged with a furious whisper. "Find the others."

She was referring to the remaining Children of Destiny within the Huanglong Civilization.

"...Fine." Wang Zilu bit her lip, finally comprehending the direness of their situation. If she didn't escape, Prince Zijun and Qingmei would have an even slimmer chance of survival.

"Wang Ye, make haste and flee." Wang Zilu sent a telepathic message, already streaking away into the distance.

"Captain."

"What about us?" Zi Yaozhi and the others turned to look at Jiang Ye.

"Leave," Jiang Ye sighed in his heart, fully aware of the grim realities of the Celestial Battlefield. With the Cangxu and Haisan Civilizations fielding four Children of Destiny, the Huanglong Civilization stood no chance.

Should they lose the Celestial Battlefield, any terrestrial gains would be rendered moot; defeat was inevitable.

"The treasures residing here must be relinquished," Jiang Ye lamented, his heart aching. The desperate, life-or-death struggle among the Children of Destiny clearly pointed to incredible opportunities hidden within this location. Regrettably, being outmatched, they could only strategize for a different approach!

However, just as Jiang Ye steeled himself for a strategic withdrawal.

"Huala~" The dense cloud cover above suddenly parted, revealing a sight that struck absolute horror into everyone present. A colossal finger materialized from the void, its sheer immensity eclipsing the sky. The lines on its tip were as distinct as mountain ranges, appearing as if the Kunlun mountain range had been inverted and hung in the heavens.

"Boom!"

The gargantuan finger began its slow descent. Even before its tip made contact with the earth, the pressure radiating from it rent the very fabric of the battlefield for thousands of miles. This overwhelming force sent all powerhouses of the Huanglong Civilization staggering towards their knees.

Conversely, the troops from the Cangxu and Haisan Civilizations felt no such imposition.

"Mo Wushuang!"

"Our duel is not concluded, and you dare assault the land?!" Prince Zijun's enraged roar echoed from the heavens.

"You have already lost." A calm, utterly detached voice responded.

Jiang Ye immediately identified the speaker. It was Mo Wushuang, the Child of Destiny from the Cangxu Civilization!

It was evident that the Cangxu and Haisan Civilizations had secured absolute dominance on the Celestial Battlefield. Mo Wushuang was now descending to claim victory, or more accurately, to initiate the massacre!

"Hurry, retreat!" Qingmei shouted urgently, her form surging towards the sky like a moth drawn to a deadly flame, hurtling directly at the colossal finger.

"Sister Qingmei!" Tears streamed down Wang Zilu's face.

However.

Even with Qingmei absorbing the brunt of the suppression, the others felt as if they were stuck in thick mud, barely able to move.

This confrontation completely overturned many people's understanding of the child of destiny.

A single finger, yet it possessed such terrifying power!

Such is the might of a child of destiny, able to command the very fortunes of heaven and earth.

They hold the power of life and death!

Those whom a child of destiny targets for death, or those who wish to escape their grasp? Even the heavens and the earth themselves will turn against them!

At that moment.

"Whoosh!" A figure suddenly ascended into the sky.

"Zi Yaozhi, all of you break through." Jiang Ye swiftly sent a telepathic message: "I will hold it back."

"Captain!!"

"It's you?" Zi Yaozhi and the others looked on in astonishment.

Simultaneously, a divine radiance erupted from Jiang Ye's hand, piercing the heavens and manifesting as an immense cyan veil that enveloped everyone.

[Celestial Cyan Divine Jade]

This treasure was obtained from the central Divine Hall within the Star Realm Sea, a gift from a formidable expert of the White Dragon Civilization known as 'White Bone'.

It possessed the capability to transform into a divine-tier barrier, strong enough to repel any assault below the level of a god!

Naturally, its power could only be utilized once.

"Boom!"

High in the sky, the colossal finger descended upon the cyan barrier. Intense tremors and horrifying shockwaves rippled outwards, yet the cyan barrier remained steadfast, repelling the onslaught.
