High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 790 - 401: Survival in Desperation, Dao Monument (Triple Release – Vote Request)

Just as Jiang Ye and Qingmei were in the midst of their escape.

High above the Divine Statue Square, amidst the swirling clouds.

"I've found them."

"They are indeed there." Mo Wushuang's eyes snapped open as he sat cross-legged in the void, having received intel from his subordinates.

Instantly.

"Found?" Hai Qingxin's eyes brightened, though a flicker of apprehension crossed her face. "Mo Wushuang's mastery over deducing destiny is truly unmatched."

The Talent of a Prodigy grants the ability to discern the nature of all things through vital energy.

However, the potency of this ability varies greatly.

Weaker practitioners can only glean insights into their own fortunes, glimpsing fleeting futures, recognizing subtle omens of disaster and luck, and may even struggle to predict the next day's weather or trivial events.

The truly powerful, on the other hand, grasp the very core of fate, capable of traversing vast distances to locate others, piercing the very fabric of destinies, and even discerning the grand cycles of worlds, probing the universe's overarching trends.

Mo Wushuang unequivocally belonged to this elite echelon of strength.

It was precisely this profound ability that enabled Mo Wushuang to pinpoint the hiding spot of Jiang Ye and Qingmei.

"That individual."

"Possessing such extraordinary capabilities, yet he rallies a multitude of exceptional talents?" Hai Qingxin scoffed inwardly. "He clearly intends to claim the Dao Monument."

As the adage goes, with hearts united, one can defy fate.

When many gather, they can stir the currents of fortune!

Mo Wushuang had amassed a considerable number of Cangxu Civilization's outstanding talents with the express purpose of bolstering his own favorable circumstances.

Regardless of their affiliations, the greater the concentration of extraordinary talents within the Initial Realm, the more effectively a prodigy's innate talent could attract fortune, thus securing a more advantageous position.

"Fortunately, I was prepared." Hai Qingxin harbored no fear.

Long before this moment, she had secretly orchestrated the arrival of more extraordinary talents from her own civilization into the Initial Realm.

Now, she was unconcerned by their numbers.

"Since we have located them, let us move to capture them," Hai Qingxin declared. "It is best to act swiftly to prevent unforeseen complications."

"Indeed, it is time," Mo Wushuang's voice trailed off as he instantly vanished from his previous position.

Hai Qingxin and two other prodigies tore through the void simultaneously, transforming into four streaks of light as they surged forth.

Boom~ The void shuddered.

Their speed was breathtaking, covering a thousand miles in a single stride, directly descending upon Jiang Ye's coordinates.

"There they are." Mo Wushuang's gaze had already locked onto the figures of Jiang Ye and Qingmei from afar.

"Still attempting to flee?" Mo Wushuang's voice boomed, resonating through the heavens and earth. An imposing figure materialized directly before Jiang Ye, its immense presence seeming to pierce the sky and seal off the surrounding direction.

Concurrently, boundless vital energy surged forth.

The starry expanse seemed to invert, the heavens darkened, and it felt as though this solitary figure was the sole remaining entity in existence, radiating an overwhelming might.

[Anomaly of Fortune]!

The phenomenon known as the Anomaly of Fortune is a natural spectacle that manifests when destiny reaches its zenith, a peculiar aberration.

Distinct from mere illusions, even the most formidable Martial Arts Will proves incapable of evading its influence.

In the presence of an Anomaly of Fortune, the vast majority of extraordinary talents find themselves utterly helpless, unable to resist.

A single glimpse is sufficient to plunge them into a state of complete disorientation, from which they can never recover, even unto death.

Simultaneously.

Qingmei, who had been fleeing alongside Jiang Ye, suddenly felt the world lurch violently.

"This is not good, could it be the Anomaly of Fortune?" Qingmei's delicate features contorted in alarm.

As a prodigy-level talent herself, she would ordinarily feel no apprehension towards such anomalies.

But that was in the past.

Now, her destiny had been utterly depleted. Even with a slight recovery, it was woefully insufficient to withstand such a potent anomaly.

Without a moment's hesitation.

Qingmei spun around and fled in the opposite direction.

However, to an observer from the outside looking in.

It would appear that Qingmei had not escaped at all, but rather, under the insidious influence of the Anomaly of Fortune, was actively moving *towards* Mo Wushuang.

This was the terrifying essence of the Anomaly of Fortune.

You believe you are escaping, yet in truth, you are willingly stepping into the very snare laid for you.

"Buzz buzz!"

At this crucial juncture, a distinct fluctuation emanated from within Jiang Ye, rapidly enveloping the pair and effectively shielding them from the encroaching Anomaly of Fortune.

[Celestial Destiny Protective Body]

Although Jiang Ye's destiny had been significantly drained, his foundation remained exceptionally robust. Even with a seventy percent loss, the remaining thirty percent proved adequate to activate the Celestial Destiny Protective Body.

"My destiny is truly depleted now," Jiang Ye mused internally with a sigh.

His final trace of fortune was expended as he once more deployed the Celestial Destiny Protective Body, successfully halting the Anomaly of Fortune's erosion for the pair.

"This?" Qingmei finally grasped the situation.

It became clear that her escape had merely led her directly into a meticulously crafted trap.

"Whoosh!" Immediately, Qingmei executed a swift turn, employing a transference technique to vanish without a trace.

...

"They actually managed to break free from my Anomaly of Fortune?" Mo Wushuang's eyebrow arched in surprise.

His keen insight had long foreseen Qingmei's dwindling fortune, indicating she shouldn't have possessed the means to escape his Anomaly of Fortune.

"Could it have been Jiang Ye?"

"No, and that woman, Hai Qingxin." Mo Wushuang's gaze turned frigid. He had detected Hai Qingxin utilizing a fortune technique that interfered with his Anomaly of Fortune.

Without her intervention, Jiang Ye could never have escaped so smoothly!

This outcome was rather expected.

After all, the Haisan Civilization had also placed an SSS-class bounty on Jiang Ye.

Mo Wushuang harbored a desire to kill Jiang Ye, and Hai Qingxin shared that same intent!

"Even with Hai Qingxin's assistance, Jiang Ye should not have managed to penetrate my Anomaly of Fortune." Mo Wushuang's eyes narrowed, "Such a Jiang Ye, truly exceeding all my expectations."

His killing intent intensified.

Given Jiang Ye's exceptional talent, he possessed a significant likelihood of ascending to prodigy status after the Civilization Struggle.

Meanwhile, Mo Wushuang remained considerably distant from achieving Star Talent.

This implied that if Jiang Ye were allowed to live, he would undoubtedly evolve into a formidable adversary in the future.

"Pursue!" Mo Wushuang took a decisive step forward, resuming the chase with renewed vigor.

...

Whoosh!

Qingmei and Jiang Ye, resembling streaks of flowing light, rapidly advanced, covering a thousand miles in mere moments.

But their respite was short-lived.

"Boom!"

Directly ahead, a colossal figure, as imposing as a mountain and seeming to connect the heavens and the earth, materialized abruptly, completely obstructing their path.
