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

Chapter 1081 - 497: Reaping the Rewards! When Heaven Wants You Dead, You Have to Die

”Hong Hao underestimated his enemy. Until his fall, he didn’t use anything to save his life.”

”With Hong Hao’s strength, as long as he gave up the contest in time, it would have been enough for self-preservation.”

”That spear from Ye Jiang was terrifying.” The powerhouses near the wasteland were filled with tremors.

They all realized.

The young man from the Huanglong Civilization in front of them possessed terrifying strength on par with the top ten.

The silence lasted only a moment.

In the next second, both Jade Immortal and Hei Qing felt chills of death rising from their feet to the top of their skulls, their hairs standing on end.

”Run!”

Jade Immortal’s figure was ghostly, her light yellow gown leaving a shadow in the void as the peak of her demigod power surged.

”He killed Hong Hao with one shot.”

”Earlier, I even dared to mock such a person; it’s truly...” Her eyes were filled with fear as she fled frantically.

Hei Qing was even more exaggerated, wielding his black metal stick, his bulky body shattering the void with each step, causing the heavens and earth to tremble slightly. His speed was at its peak, his aura in chaos, utterly panicked.

The two dared not even look at Hong Hao’s relics, only wanting to escape this treacherous place as soon as possible.

As for the other powerhouses.

No longer did they dare have any covetous thoughts, scattering and fleeing in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the once-crowded wasteland was left with only Jiang Ye, Red Light, and Prince Huang, along with the pervasive scent of blood and violent aura.

”Heh heh.”

”They ran quite fast.” Jiang Ye’s expression was indifferent, not bothering to chase the deserters.

He walked towards the place of Hong Hao’s fall and collected the relics.

It was a black ring, exuding a faint divine glow and a strong, pure aura.

”A storage ring?” Jiang Ye’s mind stirred as his divine thought entered it.

Inside the storage ring, there was unexpectedly a space spanning ten miles in radius.

Within the space, there were numerous treasured herbs, elixirs, and a fiery red long spear.

”What is this?”

”A Divine Weapon?” Jiang Ye’s gaze sharpened, sensing the endless majestic aura emanating from the fiery red long spear.

It indeed contained a trace of Majestic Divine Power!

However, such weapons are difficult for demigods to harness, which is why Hong Hao kept it in the storage space.

”Brother Ye Jiang.”

”I didn’t expect you to...” Red Light approached, her eyes full of astonishment.

Even though she had followed Jiang Ye for a while.

The combat power Jiang Ye had just displayed was still completely beyond her imagination.

”Junior Brother.”

”It seems I underestimated you.” Prince Huang’s expression was extremely complicated, both shocked and admiring.

That battle just now.

Made him fully realize that his junior brother’s strength had completely surpassed his own, possibly even a notch above Bai Cantian!

After all, for Bai Cantian to kill Hong Hao, it would likely take a few moves, but Jiang Ye only needed one.

”How on earth did this guy cultivate?” Prince Huang’s eyes were filled with confusion.

In their last battle, he could still easily crush Jiang Ye.

...

Jiang Ye paid no mind to their thoughts.

He received the storage ring and then looked towards the center of the wasteland.

”Roar~”

The forbidden creature there was finally completely disturbed, slowly standing up. Its massive body blocked the dim sky, emanating a chilling, ferocious aura.

It was a giant tiger as large as a mountain, its entire body as black as ink, its fur standing like steel needles, reflecting a cold metallic luster. In the center of its forehead was a blood-red vertical eye, and wherever its gaze swept, even the void seemed to tear apart, exuding a domineering ferocity.

”Roar——!”

The vertical-eye tiger let out an earth-shaking roar, its ferocious aura sweeping in all directions, causing countless cracks to spread across the already fissured ground.

”What terrifying power.”

”Ye Jiang, should we?” Prince Huang and Red Light looked at Jiang Ye in unison.

”Do not panic.” Jiang Ye said calmly, ”I will deal with it.”

The forbidden creature, though infinitely close to Demigod Perfection, was ultimately not a Demigod Perfection.

Such creatures’ means are far less varied than those of human prodigies, relying mainly on innate divine abilities without the complexity of cultivation techniques.

Thus, their combat power is equivalent to powerhouses ranked in the top ten of the Hundred-Star Divine War.

”Hoo~” Jiang Ye’s figure flickered, swiftly charging forward.

”Courting death!”

The vertical-eye tiger roared angrily, slapping a paw toward Jiang Ye’s direction.

”Rip!” Its claw tips wrapped in black forbidden energy, tearing huge rifts in the void wherever it passed.

The terrifying aura spilling from the rifts was enough to suppress a Peak of Demigod powerhouse.

Jiang Ye’s eyes narrowed, but instead of retreating, he advanced. The Power of the Star River burst forth around him, tens of thousands of starlights emerging and twining around his body.

”Swish!” Clutching the pitch-black long spear tightly, the Spear Path Law and Star River Divine Body fused perfectly, his aura surging to the extreme.

[Domain of Control · Third Rank]

[Domain of Suppression · Third Rank]

Full force unleashed!

The overwhelming pressure instantly enveloped the giant tiger, forcibly suppressing its speed by more than fifty percent.

”Damn.”

”Roar!” In the vertical-eye tiger’s eyes flashed a trace of surprise and anger, yet it could not break free from the domain’s suppression.

”Kill!” Jiang Ye shouted lowly, sweeping his long spear horizontally.

The spear’s gleam cascaded like the Star River, wielding the power to shatter everything, clashing fiercely with the tiger’s sharp claws.

Boom—!

A thunderous explosion erupted, shockwaves sweeping across the land like a tsunami.

The wasteland was blasted out into an enormous crater tens of thousands of miles in diameter, dust billowing, stones flying, causing even the distant mountain peaks to tremble slightly.

Jiang Ye only felt a slight numbness in his arm, his blood and qi slightly churning, a sharp pain searing his fingertips.
