The Fall
Chapter 468 The Fall (Part 2, please vote)
The giant fist, imbued with the immense power of shards of starlight and the will of the blue planet, suddenly slammed out.
"Boom!" Wherever it passed, the void returned to nothingness. Even the aura of laws flowing around [Thunder Ember] was torn open by this fearless power, leaving a tiny gap.
"Ok?"
"This power..." Lei Jin's eyes narrowed, and he felt a trace of fear.
He never imagined that a demigod forcibly elevated by the planet's will could unleash such terrifying power.
This power contains the weight of the Star River God Body, the grandeur of the Void Dharma Image, and a resolute determination rooted in the Blue Star, preferring to shatter like jade rather than survive like a broken tile. It is a madness belonging to the 'Guardian' that even the gods have never truly experienced.
“Stubborn to the end!” [Lei Jin] sneered.
Wow~
His body was enveloped in a surge of purplish-black lightning, countless lightning patterns intertwined to form a giant net of lightning, which enveloped Jiang Ye.
On the giant net, every lightning pattern contained the power to incinerate everything, enough to easily crush any attack from a peak fourth-tier demigod.
But Jiang Ye's punch was not an ordinary demigod's strike—it was his final blow, fueled by burning his own potential, exhausting the power of Blue Star's will, and risking everything.
"Boom—!"
The giant fist collided violently with the giant net of lightning patterns.
Earth-shattering!
It was as if two gods had clashed, unleashing an intensely bright light that pierced through the entire solar system.
For a time, it was impossible to determine a winner.
But the next moment.
“Absorb.” [Lei Jin]’s gaze was cold as he clenched his fist tightly.
The next moment, a tremendous suction force erupted from the giant net with lightning patterns.
The surrounding lightning, light, and even the void were all swallowed up by this suction force, leaving only a deathly silence of darkness. Jiangye was no exception.
The giant net of lightning patterns resembled a black hole, emitting a terrifying suction force capable of annihilating stars.
If Jiang Ye hadn't received the blessing of the planet's will, he would probably have been pulverized and his soul destroyed long ago.
even so.
His body was also covered in cracks, and even his internal organs seemed to be shattered, with excruciating pain sweeping over his entire body.
"It's a divine power derived from the laws of lightning tribulation." Jiang Ye understood this.
Supernatural powers are, in essence, divine means!
Only when a deity uses such methods can it be considered to have gone all out.
"It will allow me to use this move."
"You can die without regrets." [Lei Jin] said coldly, feeling a sense of humiliation for fighting Jiang Ye until now.
"boom!"
The next moment, [Lei Jin] pulled his arm, and the giant net of lightning patterns immediately shone brightly.
Crash! The void shattered like glass.
Under the terrifying suction force, it looked as if Jiang Ye was about to be completely sucked into the giant net.
But in the next moment.
"Om-"
A grain of rice-sized light appeared within Jiang Ye's body. This light suddenly exploded, transforming into an invisible ripple that rapidly spread outwards from him!
Where the ripples passed, all the strange phenomena in the world faded and dissolved rapidly.
The entire world, everything perceptible in form, sound, color, and meaning, was stripped away and scattered into nothingness.
【White Dragon - All Things Return to Stillness】!
"Return to silence".
"All things are silent." Jiang Ye closed his eyes completely, and the ripples spread out, colliding with the giant net of lightning patterns.
【The Return of All Things to Stillness】is the most unique among the many true god-level ultimate techniques. Its power is insignificant, but it has the ability to annihilate all things.
What is the universe?
Strange phenomena, spells, and even supernatural powers are all included!
"Whoosh~" The giant net of lightning patterns dimmed instantly after being swept by the ripples, but it did not disappear completely.
This was, after all, a divine power used by a deity, and it is difficult to completely erase.
But for Jiang Ye, that was enough!
"The suction has weakened." Jiang Ye suddenly opened his eyes and then abruptly raised his palm.
call!
A surge of demonic energy appeared, coalescing into a gigantic hand that blotted out the starry sky. This gigantic hand was surrounded by endless dark light, as if it had emerged from the underworld, and slapped towards [Thunder Ember].
[True God-level Ultimate Technique: Nine Netherworld Ten Thousand Demon Palm]!
At that moment, Jiang Ye had a sudden inspiration and vaguely realized something.
His palm strike will unleash unprecedented and terrifying power!
"A mere trick." [Lei Jin] sneered, not taking it seriously at all, and raised his hand to clash with the giant demonic hand.
But the next second, His expression changed.
Rumbling--
The two giant hands collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a terrifying shockwave capable of destroying a planet, sweeping across an area of over 100,000 miles.
"Bang!!"
"What?" For the first time, Lei Jin's voice revealed surprise.
He could clearly feel that the power from Jiang Ye had penetrated His Tribulation Laws and invaded His divine body along His arm.
To know.
The body of a god is formed from the condensation of laws, perfect and flawless. Ordinary forces would find it impossible to even touch it, let alone penetrate it.
But Jiang Ye's palm strike actually broke through His divine body's defenses!?
The next second, the darkness dissipated, and two towering figures faced off high in the sky.
Jiang Ye's Taixu Dharma Image had become noticeably illusory, with most of the starlight patterns around it dimming, and countless fine cracks spreading from the soles of the Dharma Image's feet to the top of its head, like glass about to shatter.
His physical body had already been devoured by the laws, his entire body covered with dense cracks that penetrated deep into his bone marrow. Even the divine veins pulsating within his body could be seen gradually breaking apart in the cracks, and his vitality was dissipating at a visible speed.
Utterly tragic!
But Jiang Ye revealed a sinister smile: "Success."
That collision just now triggered the 30x critical hit effect of [Mayfly Shaking a Tree]!
It was this very strike that truly pierced through the god's defenses.
the other side.
[Lei Jin] stood still, his expression extremely gloomy.
It was only because a tiny wound appeared on His flawless divine body—the wound was short, only an inch long, yet it was exceptionally conspicuous.
A stream of golden blood slowly seeped from the wound. It was the blood of a god. When it dripped, it could scorch the void and transform into a sky full of golden lightning and fire, which then dissipated between heaven and earth.
The gods are bleeding!!!
This scene stunned all the remaining powerful beings from Earth below.
"Jiang Ye?"
"Did you harm the gods?"
"It turns out that even gods are not invincible."
"Good, good!" Many powerful figures from Blue Star, including Qi Tian and Li the Half-God, showed expressions of shock and joy.
The gods are wounded!
This is enough to show that the gods are not invincible.
There is still hope for Earth!
However, when Qi Tian and the others saw Jiang Ye's condition, their hearts sank to the bottom.
This is because Jiang Ye is clearly on the verge of his limit at this moment.
Jiang Ye looked at the wound on Lei Jin's arm, at the dripping divine blood, and his chapped lips curled up slightly, revealing a weak but relieved smile.
I did it.
He has truly offended the gods!
Even though this attack almost exhausted all his life force, even though his body was about to perish completely, he still did it.
But this sense of relief lasted only a moment before being replaced by intense pain. The cracks all over his body instantly widened, as if countless sharp knives were churning inside him. The excruciating pain of his martial arts foundation breaking almost made him faint. His Taixu Dharma Image began to tremble violently, and it was on the verge of completely collapsing at any moment.
He has reached his limit.
Jiang Ye could clearly feel that his life force was rapidly fading away, and his consciousness was beginning to blur.
He could even see the shadow of death looming over him.
Jiang Ye knew that he wouldn't last much longer. Perhaps in the next second, his body would explode completely, turning into countless fragments of light and dissipating into the world.
But he had no regrets. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still choose to do it—for the sake of Earth, for the sake of his fallen compatriots, for the question, "Do gods bleed?" He had no other choice.
"Next."
"What should we do?" Jiang Ye looked at the distant [Thunder Ember], his heart filled with extreme gravity.
He was no longer able to fight.
If the other party insists on continuing, then perhaps no one can stop them. [Lei Jin] looked down at the wound on his arm, the shock and anger in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by a strange solemnity.
He stretched out his left hand and gently touched the wound. The divine blood stopped instantly, and the wound healed in an instant under the restoration of the laws.
"Ok?"
But His gaze no longer fell on Jiang Ye. Instead, He suddenly looked up into the depths of the universe, a hint of doubt flashing in His eyes before turning solemn, as if He had heard some kind of command from the end of the universe.
"Buzz~" An invisible wave came from the depths of the universe.
It instantly pierced through Earth's atmosphere and landed on [Lightning Ember]. This fluctuation was extremely weak, yet it carried an irresistible majesty.
That is a divine will of a higher level than [Lightning Ember]!
"what?"
"This? How is this possible?" [Lei Jin]'s pupils contracted slightly, as if he had heard some unbelievable news.
But then...
His aura instantly subsided, and the coldness and anger on his face were replaced by a complex emotion.
He didn't look at Jiang Ye again, nor did he pay any more attention to the remaining Blue Star powerhouses below. His towering body slowly retreated, the purple-black lightning around him gradually dissipated, and the halo of law also became dim and without light.
His departure was swift and without delay, as if something extremely important was urging him on.
In just a few breaths, [Thunder Ember]'s figure became incredibly small, and finally disappeared completely into the depths of the universe, leaving behind only a chaotic sky, and the lingering divine aura and bloody smell that permeated the heavens and earth.
This sudden turn of events stunned the powerful figures from Earth below once again.
Many powerful figures from Earth looked bewildered.
But as time went by...
A few seconds later, when the aura of that god completely disappeared into the depths of the universe, Qi Tian and the others finally realized that the other party had left!
"It's gone."
"The gods have been defeated!"
"We won."
"We won! Hahaha!" Countless powerful figures from Earth erupted in cheers, laughing loudly as tears streamed down their faces.
They won!
Qi Tian gazed at the vast starry sky and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But some people felt extremely solemn.
Something's not right.
"How could a god, so proud, retreat so easily after being injured?" The Li family demigod stared in the direction where [Thunder Ember] disappeared, his face full of incomprehension.
But soon, her eyes showed exhaustion and relief at surviving the ordeal.
Anyway.
The gods have departed.
High in the sky.
Jiang Ye's Taixu Dharma Image could no longer hold on and collapsed with a roar, turning into countless star patterns that dissipated between heaven and earth.
His true form slowly fell from the sky, the cracks all over his body had widened to the extreme, golden divine blood kept flowing out, his life force was almost exhausted, and his consciousness was extremely blurred.
But when he saw [Lightning Ember] completely disappear into the depths of the universe, his tense nerves finally relaxed completely, and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.
"Correct."
“That’s it.” In Jiang Ye’s mind, the future timeline he had seen in the struggle between civilizations flashed by.
In that timeline, he also exerted all his strength and injured the god. After being injured, the god suddenly retreated, and the blue planet was thus preserved.
At the time, he wasn't sure if that timeline was real, or if harming a god would truly make them retreat. But now, he had witnessed it all firsthand; that timeline was correct!
As long as it harms the gods!
That would force the enemy to retreat, thus saving Earth and the remaining compatriots.
But soon.
"Why?" A huge question arose in Jiang Ye's mind.
How arrogant the gods are!
How powerful!
Logically speaking, being injured by a demigod should enrage Him, and He should completely annihilate Him and the entire planet Earth to wash away the shame of being injured.
But what about [Lightning Ember]?
After being hurt, he retreated without hesitation, without any lingering feelings or intention of revenge.
what is this?
It's not just Jiang Ye.
Qi Tian and the others below gradually calmed down from their initial surprise.
Qi Tian gazed at Jiang Ye, whose aura was growing weaker and weaker high in the sky, and then looked in the direction where [Thunder Ember] had disappeared. He frowned and said in a deep voice, "The sudden retreat of the god is probably due to something else."
Everyone nodded slightly.
"Whatever the reason, let's save Jiang Ye first," the Li family demigod said urgently.
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly flew towards Jiang Ye.
However, at this moment, Jiang Ye's life force had faded to the extreme.
"Jiang Ye, you?" Qi Tian's expression changed slightly.
With his keen insight, he immediately realized that Jiang Ye's martial arts foundation was completely destroyed and his life force was rapidly fading away.
It is about to fall!
This injury was caused by the gods; they have no way to help it.
"Jiang Ye, can you hold on?" The demigod of the Li family had sorrow in his eyes.
The atmosphere was also incredibly heavy for the other demigods.
What are you doing?
"I'm not dead yet." Jiang Ye smiled. "Don't worry, I won't die either."
"But..." Qi Tian's eyes flickered slightly. Could Jiang Ye, in his current state, possibly still have the possibility of self-healing?
It's true that demigods have powerful self-healing abilities, but there's a limit to that.
The injuries Jiang Ye is currently suffering are far beyond the possibility of a demigod healing himself.
"don’t worry."
"I may need to rest for a while." Jiang Ye gave Qi Tian and the others a deep look. "We will meet again."
"This"
Upon hearing this, Qi Tian, Li Banshen, and the others exchanged bewildered glances.
But soon.
"it is good!"
"I'll wait for you to come back," Qi Tian said solemnly.
"Hmm." Jiang Ye said no more. With a thought, he vanished from his spot.
call!
The next moment, Jiang Ye appeared in the White Dragon Royal Court.
"This body is about to give way." Jiang Ye glanced at himself and sighed.
The reason he left in such a hurry was because his body was indeed about to perish.
but.
As long as the physical body does not die, the Dao body will not perish!
Even after its fall, there is still a possibility of resurrection.
This will take a long time.
"Fall," Jiang Ye said, unconcerned, his eyes filled with joy.
Because just now, his true form had received a message from the Venerable One.
No wonder.
"No wonder Lei Jin left." Jiang Ye laughed loudly; he already knew the reason!
Then, with an endless sense of liberation, Jiang Ye's body completely disintegrated and exploded, and he perished.
