High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System

Chapter 1023 - 473: Venerable Wrath! Iron-Blooded Retaliation (Double - Happy Little New Year)_2

[Star Destruction Annihilation!]

”Shoo——”

The burning star shot through the void, colliding violently with the torrent of self-detonation energy.

[Mayfly Shaking the Tree: Advancement]

Ninety times the explosion!

”Boom!”

The star exploded, waves of terrifying flames and annihilation power sweeping in all directions, wrapping and extinguishing the torrent of self-detonation energy layer by layer.

”Pfft~”

Jiang Ye’s whole body trembled violently, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, the cracks on the surface of his demigod body expanded again, and his aura plummeted to the bottom.

At that moment.

Ling Xuan finally tore through the blockade of the self-detonation energy storm.

”Hoo!” With a wave of His large hand, a gentle but life-filled divine light enveloped Jiang Ye, pulling him out of the chaotic energy flow.

The aftermath of the self-detonation continued to ravage, causing the formations and restrictions around to roar incessantly, and even the mighty array that could withstand a god’s attack faintly emitted a mournful sound.

Even the restrictions in the core area were triggered, countless light patterns lit up, finally suppressing the chaotic energy.

Jiang Ye, with Ling Xuan’s help, landed steadily.

”Blocked it?”

”I actually survived such an attack.” Jiang Ye was filled with lingering fear, his heart still shaken.

The wave of Grey Hezi’s self-detonation just now made him feel a threat of god-level magnitude once again.

The power of that.

Was even no less than the killer move caused by Thunder Ash!

Had it not been for this being the Huanglong Main Star, shrouded in numerous powerful arrays and restrictions, that single strike just now would have been enough to shatter an ordinary planet.

Fortunately.

This time Jiang Ye was in the Huanglong Civilization, and most of the power produced by Grey Hezi’s self-detonation was blocked by that unknown god.

Thinking of this.

”Thank you, senior, for your rescue.” Jiang Ye bowed to Ling Xuan.

The other party was enveloped by a strange divine power.

This unusual divine power transformed into pure energy, pouring into Jiang Ye’s body.

Jiang Ye could clearly feel that after this power flowed into his body, his nearly collapsing body was rapidly repairing, the broken divine veins reconnecting, and his weakened aura recovering slowly.

In only a few breaths, except for the excessive consumption of his source, the injuries on his body surface had completely healed.

”The majestic divine power is truly remarkable,” Jiang Ye marveled inwardly.

”No need for formalities.”

”I am Ling Xuan under Venerable Bai’s command, tasked by the venerable to secretly protect you.” Ling Xuan finally withdrew his divine power.

”Sent by the Venerable?” Jiang Ye’s heart stirred, no wonder the other party could arrive in time.

”This person, being an extreme demigod, did not hesitate to burn his source and shatter his foundation to self-detonate.” Ling Xuan’s eyes were cold: ”There must be other instigators behind this. I will report to the Venerable and give you an explanation.”

At that,

He looked at Jiang Ye with a hint of admiration: ”Your ability to survive the aftermath of an extreme demigod’s self-detonation shows a strength that far surpasses other talents of your generation.”

Ling Xuan’s eyes also reflected incredulity.

Earlier, He also had a bit of doubt in His heart as to why the Venerable wanted Him to secretly protect an Extraordinary Talent.

Now it seems, Ye Jiang indeed deserves this qualification.

”Originally, I intended to protect you in secret all along.” Ling Xuan shook His head and said: ”Unexpectedly, I have to reveal myself so soon.”

Jiang Ye smiled, understanding His meaning.

Not revealing oneself before was most likely to prevent him from growing complacent.

...

At this moment, the streets surrounding the core area had already gathered a large number of Huanglong powerhouses.

”What kind of terrifying energy fluctuation was that just now?”

”It seemed like someone self-detonated in the core area!”

”That’s the aura of an extreme demigod! Who dares to act in the core domain of the Nine Great Divine Races?” The numerous powerhouses discussed fervently, their faces full of shock and dread.

They could feel the destructive power contained within the self-detonation energy, and if not for the strong restrictions in the core area, the aftermath might have spread thousands of miles.

Not far away.

A young genius in a silver robe stood in the air, it was Qing Lan, a young prodigy of the Qing Race attending the Red Mansion gathering.

He had witnessed the entire process of the battle just now, from Grey Hezi’s attack to Ling Xuan’s descent, to the self-detonation of the extreme demigod, and Jiang Ye’s gathering of his innate divine technique to fend off the attack, each scene made his heart tremble.

”Is that Venerable Bai’s disciple, Ye Jiang?”

”A thirty-year-old Tier Three Demigod.” Qing Lan’s eyes were filled with disbelief: ”He can actually withstand the residual impact of an ultimate Demigod’s self-detonation?”

He considered his Talent outstanding, yet when compared to Ye Jiang, it seemed lackluster.

This combat strength made him feel a strong sense of crisis.

”In the Hundred-Star Divine War, he might have a chance to break into the top fifty.” Qing Lan murmured to himself, raising his regard for Jiang Ye to the utmost level.

Other powerhouses also recognized Jiang Ye one after another, their gazes filled with awe.

To survive such a terrifying assassination and receive direct intervention from a God, this sufficiently proves Ye Jiang’s significance.

...

Bai Race Holy Land, on the cloudy bed.

Venerable Bai slowly opened his eyes, a trace of cold light flashing within.

Just now, he already learned of the assassination attempt on Jiang Ye.

”An ultimate Demigod, Cangxu Civilization really has a bold heart.” Venerable Bai murmured, his tone calm yet carrying a decisive authority.

The first thing that came to his mind was Jiang Ye’s performance.

”An ultimate Demigod burning the essence and life-source divine ability, coupled with the triggered God-level lethal move of self-detonation’s residual impact, to not only survive but also consolidate a life-source divine ability framework.” Venerable Bai’s lips curled into a satisfied smile: ”This child’s potential is even more astonishing than I anticipated.”

After his lamentation, Venerable Bai began to deduce the mastermind.

”Buzz——”

A myriad of golden runes emerged around him, weaving into a colossal Taoist Skill net, enveloping the entire Huanglong Main Star.

Above the net, countless images swiftly flashed by.

From Grey Interval’s lurking and preparation for assassination, to the fierce battle with Jiang Ye and self-detonation, every process was clearly visible.

The deduction did not stop.

The Taoist Skill net continued to stretch, piercing the starry sky, spreading towards the direction of the Cangxu Civilization.

In an instant, the wind and clouds above the Huanglong Main Star changed color, dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning flashed, countless golden pillars of light shot down from the clouds, connecting with the Taoist Skill net. This kind of Anomaly alarmed the entire planet, and powerhouses raised their heads in confusion.

...

In the ancient and magnificent hall of Cangxu Civilization.

Venerable Tian Cang was resting with closed eyes when a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

”Swish~” He snapped his eyes open, only to see the void above the hall manifested countless golden runes, an invisible probing force pierced the palace, targeting his essence directly.

”It’s Bai Qiong’s deduction.” Venerable Tian Cang squinted his eyes, hastily urging Divine Power to resist.

But how could Venerable Bai’s deduction power be so easily blocked?

The golden runes forcibly penetrated his defenses, although unable to directly ascertain the truth, they instantly captured some clues and signs.

”Cangxu Civilization.”

”Venerable Tian Cang!” Within the Bai Race Holy Land, Venerable Bai’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.

He withdrew his deduction power, the surrounding Anomaly gradually dissipated, yet an overwhelming killing intent quietly condensed.

”Daring to harm a disciple of Bai Qiong will require a proper reckoning.”

Venerable Bai stood up, took a step out, and his figure instantly vanished from the Holy Land.

The next moment, he appeared at the military hub of Huanglong Civilization—Zhenxing Palace.

”Salute to Venerable!” Numerous powerhouses within the hall bowed in respect.

”Convey my order.” Venerable Bai’s voice resonated throughout the hall: ”Mobilize the three Great Divine Fleets, set off immediately, raid the border Star Domain of Cangxu Civilization, target—three resource stars under Venerable Tian Cang’s command!”

”Additionally.”

”Notify the intelligence department to gather resources deployment of Cangxu Civilization with all efforts, especially the distribution of Venerable Tian Cang’s direct forces.”

”This raid, do not seek occupation, only destruction! I want Tian Cang that old thing to realize the consequence of targeting my Huanglong prodigy!”

Venerable Bai’s tone was cold, bearing an indubitable determination.

The three Great Divine Fleets, each equipped with God-level powerhouses in command, are enough to inflict devastating blows on the border of Cangxu Civilization.

”By Venerable’s command!” The generals responded in unison, not daring any slack.

Orders were swiftly conveyed, and the military machinery of Huanglong Civilization roared into action.

In the starry sky, three massive Divine Fleets slowly set sail, warships aligned, divine light dazzling, carrying immense battle intent, rushing towards the border of Cangxu Civilization.

Venerable Bai stood at the peak of Zhenxing Palace, overlooking the departing Divine Fleets, his eyes flashing with a cold brilliance.

”Tian Cang, you wish to obliterate a disciple of Bai Qiong, so I shall ruin your foundation.”

”This feud is only just beginning.”

He understood well, this was merely the first step.

With Cangxu Civilization losing three resource stars, Venerable Tian Cang will surely be enraged, and the friction between the two parties will further escalate.

Yet Venerable Bai showed no fear, as the Venerable of Huanglong Civilization, he had ample confidence to confront Cangxu Civilization.

And the instigator of all this, Grey Interval might not have expected that his self-detonation assassination, not only failed to kill Jiang Ye but in fact triggered a border conflict between two secondary civilizations.
