High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 821 - 408: Return! Ascending with Billions! (Triple Combo)

In simpler terms, Jiang Ye had already ascended to the pinnacle of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder. There was nowhere further to ascend!

"Is Martial God the absolute peak?"

"No." Jiang Ye's expression shifted; "Could it truly be Grounded Martial Arts?"

At this revelation, Jiang Ye could no longer remain seated. The Martial Arts Celestial Ladder had been one of his most potent trump cards. If the path truly ended here, he would be deprived of an extra enhancement every time he broke through to a new Realm in the future.

"Has the path been severed completely, is it truly impossible to climb higher?" Jiang Ye scanned his surroundings, his expression fluctuating wildly. No matter how he looked, this was indeed the terminus. The absolute end of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder!

"How could this be?" Jiang Ye was consumed by a wave of unwillingness. In that instant, all the immense benefits he had previously reaped felt hollow and meaningless.

Just then.

The reward settlement page finally materialized.

[You have conquered the Black Tower, breached the Star Domain, entered the Initial Realm, slain legions of formidable foes, transcended levels to vanquish adversaries, unrivaled in your carnage, your name "Wang Ye" now echoes throughout Exotic Realms, hailed as the Marquis of the Blue Sky, lauded by billions.]

[Divine Level assessment finalized!]

[Rating: Ultimate]

[Acquired titles: Ultimate Martial God, Song of the Nameless, Agent of Cause and Effect, My Name Is My Dao, Billion Ascension]

[Ultimate Martial God: Transcending all ratings, you have attained the title of Ultimate Martial God. You have gained 'Divinity': all your techniques will now be imbued with 'Divinity', dramatically amplifying their might.]

[Song of the Nameless: Billions chant praises to a name that is not yours. You have acquired 'Nameless Protection', reducing all negative effects by 20%.]

[Agent of Cause and Effect: You operate under a false identity, achieving global renown. Henceforth, the name 'Marquis of the Blue Sky' will bear all your actions and consequences. All karma generated by this name is entirely unrelated to you.]

[My Name Is My Dao: The masses chant, the myriad worlds acknowledge, you define illusion and reality. You have gained the ability to bifurcate reality, enabling you to nurture a 'Dao Body' from your 'True Self'. The origin connects your True Self to the Dao Body; as long as the True Self persists, the Dao Body is indestructible.]

[Billion Ascension: You have earned the adoration of billions. They bolster you, constructing a Path of Ascension for you.]

——

Five luminous golden titles appeared, nearly dazzling Jiang Ye's vision.

"This?"

A Golden Legend?! Jiang Ye had barely begun to pore over the intricate details of these titles.

"Boom! Boom!" Suddenly, a violent tremor reverberated, as if the very heavens and earth were convulsing, as if the entirety of space was in turmoil. Immediately thereafter, Jiang Ye witnessed with utter astonishment, above the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, layer upon layer of stairs materialized, unfurling ever upward. In a mere blink of an eye, this grand staircase stretched towards the heavens, vanishing into the distant clouds and mists, lost from sight.

"This?" Jiang Ye was utterly dumbfounded. At this moment, as he gazed anew, the 8th Layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder was merely a fresh starting point. And the next layer? It was impossibly high, beyond his sight!

"Could this be the Path of Ascension?" Jiang Ye, being no ordinary individual, quickly grasped the implication. He refocused his burning gaze upon the subtitled descriptions.

[Billion Ascension]!

"So, it means..."

"The system has forcefully carved out a Path of Ascension for me through the collective recognition of billions?" Jiang Ye's heart pounded with shock. It was truly unbelievable!

Now, Jiang Ye's heart swelled with an unprecedented, intense longing: What wonders awaited at the culmination of the Path of Ascension? Could he ascend even now?

"No need to rush."

"Let's first examine this round's rewards." Jiang Ye eagerly turned his attention to the descriptions: "Ultimate Martial God? Song of the Nameless? Agent of Cause and Effect? My Name Is My Dao?" Just from their appellations, these accolades were clearly extraordinary.

As Jiang Ye delved deeper, his face contorted in astonishment.

"Divinity?"

"Could this mean techniques of the Gods?" Jiang Ye's breath hitched: "Wouldn't that render me invincible?" Of course, upon reflection, it likely wasn't that exaggerated. However, the system's output was invariably top-tier. Much like the 'Five Elements Fire,' which had once provided Jiang Ye with immeasurable aid. This 'Divinity,' bearing the character for 'god,' must possess numerous exceptional qualities.

"Song of the Nameless, all negative impacts reduced by 20%?" Jiang Ye's expression shifted. This was a bug-level ability. Observing the system's explanation, this ability came with no additional prerequisites. This implied that even if divine beings appeared, their negative effects on him would still be diminished by 20%!

Witnessing this, Jiang Ye's heart was already overflowing with pure elation.

However, upon witnessing the subsequent two rewards, his pupils constricted, and an involuntary, rapid intake of breath escaped him.
