High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System Chapter 861 - 419: Slaying the Zhou Family Demigod

[Territorial Expansion: Increased by 30% (+1100%)]

Instantly, with the demise of the Ninth Break Mid-stage Shadow Race, the power of Territorial Expansion experienced a surge of 100%!

"Truly lives up to the Ninth Break Mid-stage," Jiang Ye reflected internally. "Combining Territorial Expansion with Blood-colored Dusk, plus Mayfly Shaking the Tree, my combat strength amplified almost fortyfold, yet I still needed my utmost strength to eradicate it."

"The Ninth Break Mid-stage is significantly more challenging than the Ninth Break Early-stage."

In Martial Arts cultivation, reaching the Ninth Break itself represented the pinnacle achievable within the mortal realm.

Beyond this stage lay the Divine Path Domain.

Consequently, the disparities within each sub-realm of the Ninth Break are immense!

For instance, regarding the Ninth Break Mid-stage Shadow Race encountered moments ago, had Jiang Ye not comprehended the Law of the Void, breaking through its 'Nine Shadows Shield' might have proven genuinely impossible.

"However," Jiang Ye's thoughts drifted. "If I had unleashed the Six-armed Demon God and the Fatian Xiangdi divine abilities, they would have easily overcome that obstacle."

He had deliberately refrained from using these profound divine abilities during the recent confrontation.

The primary reason for this restraint was straightforward.

The Shadow Race likely harbored connections to the Cangxu Civilization. Should Jiang Ye reveal these potent abilities, it would effectively signal his identity as the Marquis of the Blue Sky to the Cangxu Civilization, potentially triggering an apocalyptic event for the entire Blue Star Civilization.

Therefore, abilities such as the Star-Suppressing Tower and the Nine Stars Celestial Departing Divine Bow, which he had employed on the Star Domain Battlefield, were consciously concealed by Jiang Ye.

Unless absolutely unavoidable, their exposure had to be prevented.

"Still two Ninth Breaks remaining?"

"Perish." With his spear firmly gripped, Jiang Ye rapidly advanced, intent on eliminating the remaining two Ninth Break Shadow Races.

Even the Ninth Break Mid-stage had proven no match for him.

These two Ninth Break Early-stage Shadow Races stood no chance whatsoever against Jiang Ye.

In merely the span of a breath.

"Pfft~" "Pfft!"

A single, brilliant flash of spear light bisected the heavens and earth, hurtling towards the two Ninth Break Early-stage Shadow Races.

Despite their desperate deployment of numerous defensive techniques, their efforts were utterly futile, completely overwhelmed by Jiang Ye's unassailable might.

In an instant, they were annihilated, torn into countless fragments, transforming into vast quantities of black mist that dissipated back into the darkness.

Though it seemed instantaneous, only a few breaths had passed.

Three Ninth Breaks!

All eradicated.

Concurrently, the entire domain of darkness fell into silence.

While the Shadow Race lair possessed the capacity for resurrection, this ability was not without its cost, particularly for beings above the Ninth Break, demanding substantial energy expenditure.

This was especially true now, as the Shadow Race lair was also occupied with fending off the two Demigods, Zhou Huai Feng and Li Qingqiu.

The successive deaths of three Ninth Breaks had significantly depleted its vitality.

"Rustle~"

Abruptly, the black mist receded, and a massive surge of black energy flowed back towards the dark cocoon.

It ceased its active aggression towards Jiang Ye!

Instead, its focus shifted entirely to engaging the Zhou Family Demigod.

Witnessing this, Jiang Ye’s eyes gleamed: "Are they ignoring me now?"

The numerous Shadow Race members that had surrounded Jiang Ye vanished as the dispersing mist cleared, rendering the entire dark world transparently visible.

It appeared as though the Shadow Race lair was offering Jiang Ye a "path to escape."

"Allow me to leave?" Jiang Ye scoffed inwardly, entirely unconvinced of the Shadow Race lair's purported benevolence.

It was common knowledge that.

The Shadow Race had previously issued threats to the Federation's highest authorities, demanding the surrender of Blue Star.

The current negotiation between Zhou Huai Feng and the Shadow Race was, in essence, orchestrated for Jiang Ye's capture.

Now that Jiang Ye had finally arrived, how could they possibly permit him to depart so easily?

"Heh."

"So that's the situation." Jiang Ye’s telekinetic senses expanded, providing immediate comprehension: "The exit has been sealed."

The very fabric of this world seemed to be constricting, like a colossal hand slowly closing its grip.

It was gathering immense power!

Intent on engulfing Jiang Ye and the two Demigods completely.

Grasping this revelation, Jiang Ye felt no apprehension, lifting his gaze towards the battlefield where Zhou Huai Feng was engaged.

At this precise moment, the Zhou Family Demigod was equally perturbed.

"Can this Jiang Ye actually defeat a Ninth Break Mid-stage opponent?" The Zhou Family Demigod's face turned ashen.

He had harbored the initial conviction that Jiang Ye's demise was inevitable.

As soon as Jiang Ye perished, he intended to make his immediate withdrawal.

Who could have possibly foreseen that even a Ninth Break Mid-stage Shadow Race would be no match for Jiang Ye?

"Such a monstrous talent." The Zhou Family Demigod finally grasped the profound depth of Alliance Leader Qitian's high regard for Jiang Ye.

If truly nurtured, he would undoubtedly become a cornerstone of Blue Star.

There was even a distinct possibility that he could ascend to that ultimate realm!

"What a profound pity."

"The feud is set in stone," a cold, murderous intent flickered within the Zhou Family's Demigod's eyes. "If you live, I cannot find peace."

Should Jiang Ye perish, he possessed the means to appease the Li Family's Demigod. However, if Jiang Ye were to survive and return to the Blue Star Federation, he would inevitably face judgment and execution ordered by Alliance Leader Qitian!

"I must make my escape," he thought grimly. "Lingering here any longer risks trapping me." The Zhou Family Demigod could feel the very fabric of the surrounding area shifting. Yet, before he could flee, Jiang Ye had to be eliminated!

With this resolve hardening his features, the Zhou Family Demigod's expression grew colder still.

Suddenly.

"Lad, do not fault me for lack of mercy!" The Zhou Family Demigod abruptly unleashed one of his arms, directing a swift palm strike straight at Jiang Ye.

Boom!

The arm surged forth, expanding against the wind until it became a colossal palm spanning ten thousand meters, its overwhelming and terrifying pressure completely engulfing Jiang Ye.

How potent is an attack from a Demigod? This was the Zhou Family Demigod's all-out assault, aimed at obliterating Jiang Ye in a single, decisive blow!

In mere moments, the entire space appeared sealed shut, with layers upon layers of the void freezing over, only to shatter under the immense force of the giant palm.

The void for ten thousand miles was instantly locked down, severing the connection between heaven and earth!

"Boom~"

The colossal palm then descended, rending the earth asunder. Beneath its crushing weight, countless rocks disintegrated, and the horrifying shockwaves radiated outwards for thousands of miles.

Such catastrophic power, even for someone at the Peak of Nine Breaks, would surely spell their doom and lead to deep regret.
