Lei Jin is shocked! Just a clone?
Chapter 475 Lei Jin is shocked! Just a clone? (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
"Boom!"
A deafening collision resounded as the golden beam of light crashed into the Dharma image.
A terrifying energy shockwave swept in all directions, and the defensive formations of the training ground were instantly activated to their maximum, radiating brilliant light, barely managing to block this destructive force.
The chaotic energy currents caused the surrounding geniuses to retreat, not daring to approach.
"This energy?"
"very scary."
"Is this really something a third-tier demigod could produce?" Many powerful Huanglong warriors showed expressions of shock.
Some of the weaker geniuses were even forced back more than ten steps by the shockwave, their faces turning pale. Even the pillars of the Red Mansion began to tremble slightly, as if they were about to be destroyed by this force.
"puff!"
Jiang Ye shuddered violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body was thrown backward by the shockwave, his footsteps carving two deep furrows in the ground.
His face was pale and his breathing was slightly weak, clearly indicating that he had suffered a great loss in this collision.
Meanwhile, Prince Huang on the other side was also having a hard time.
He swayed and took several steps back before regaining his balance. The golden emperor phantom rippled and its light dimmed slightly.
"What kind of divine power is this? It has such power!" A trace of fear flashed in Prince Huang's eyes.
He could clearly feel that the terrifying power contained in that Dharma image just now seemed to have suddenly increased dozens of times!
If it weren't for the unparalleled domineering power of his imperial laws, he would probably have been severely injured.
"So powerful!" Chi Jiuxin exclaimed excitedly, "Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang actually managed to force the prince and queen to retreat."
Bai Cantian stood aside, his interest growing stronger: "For a third-tier demigod to have such strength is stronger than Prince Huang back then."
On the martial arts stage.
"That's really strong." Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes gleamed with excitement.
The collision just now, although it injured him, also made him more proficient in using Star Burning Annihilation, and made him realize the gap between himself and the talents of geniuses.
Even a mayfly's ninety-fold critical strike against a tree is barely enough to match the opponent's strength.
"Senior Brother Prince Huang, you truly live up to your reputation," Jiang Ye said loudly, circulating his divine power to rapidly heal his injuries.
Prince Huang took a deep breath, his expression growing increasingly solemn: "Junior Brother is the one who has been hiding his true strength. Now, I'm going to use my full power!"
After saying that, he made a hand seal with both hands.
"Whoosh!" The golden emperor phantom behind Prince Huang solidified once more, with lightning laws surging wildly around him, and the golden light almost obscured the entire training ground.
A terrifying pressure spread out.
"A natal divine power?" Jiang Ye recognized it immediately.
“Exactly!” Prince Huang grinned, then threw a punch.
The next moment, the golden emperor phantom, treading on ten thousand thunderbolts and carrying earth-shattering power, slammed towards Jiang Ye once again.
[The natal magical power - the royal way to kill! 】
That punch!
It was several times more terrifying than before, containing even more intricate changes in the laws of nature, and locked down all of Jiang Ye's evasion routes.
Jiang Ye's eyes sharpened as he felt unprecedented pressure.
Without the slightest hesitation, the starlight around him surged once more, and the Void Dharma Form and the Star River Divine Body merged perfectly, with the mysteries of the Five Elements and the two great laws within his body operating at full power.
[Innate Divine Power - Star-Scorching Annihilation!]
This time, the burning stars shone even brighter, the internal laws and patterns became clearer, and the power they contained was enhanced to the extreme.
The star burst forth and collided once more with the golden emperor's fist.
A clash between two innate divine abilities!
"boom!"
The golden beam of light collided violently with the Taixu Dharma Image, and the Imperial Laws surged forth like ten thousand dragons.
The golden emperor's phantom raised its hand to suppress, and countless Dao laws and runes intertwined to form a net, binding the power of the starry river layer by layer.
Jiang Ye's body was covered in flashing star patterns, and millions of starlight converged into a fist, carrying the nascent power of [Star Burning Annihilation], and slammed it hard into the core of the pillar of light.
"The Imperial Way Shakes the World!" Prince Huang roared, and the golden imperial phantom clenched his fist, causing the pillar of light to shrink instantly and unleash a terrifying power.
Jiang Ye felt a tremendous force rushing towards him, causing the Taixu Dharma Image to tremble violently, cracks spreading rapidly on its surface, and star patterns shattering inch by inch.
However, a faint fluctuation also swept over the golden emperor's phantom.
Wherever this fluctuation passed, even the void seemed to be annihilated, leaving no trace of life.
The golden phantom of the emperor also dimmed instantly.
"The core of Star Burning Annihilation lies in the word 'annihilation'!" Jiang Ye understood this.
The next moment, he seemed to have grasped a key point, and his supernatural power suddenly surged.
"Boom!"
The burning star, carrying the ominous sign of annihilation, clashed fiercely with the golden emperor.
In an instant, the stars shattered.
The golden emperor was also shattered by the collision of stars.
Terrifying energy poured down like a tidal wave.
"Bang!" Prince Huang's golden armor exploded instantly, and he was hit by a terrifying impact, flying backward.
And on the other side,
"Pfft!" Jiang Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body also flew backward, crashing into the defensive light screen at the edge of the martial arts stage.
The light curtain rippled and caught him steadily.
"I lost." Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sighed, "Senior Brother's Imperial Dao Law is indeed well-deserved of its reputation."
"I wouldn't call it a win either."
"The Imperial Laws are shattered." Prince Huang stared at the broken phantom of the emperor, and fell silent for a moment.
This is the first time!
He suffered a loss against an opponent whose skill level was lower than his own.
But soon.
Prince Huang then withdrew his supernatural powers and laughed heartily: "Junior brother is indeed extraordinary. The rudimentary form of your innate supernatural power has already far surpassed those of others of the same level. If I were given more time, I might not be your match."
"Let's call this a draw."
“We don’t need to award anyone any merit,” Prince Huang said with a hearty laugh.
The entire Red Mansion fell silent for a moment.
Then, a huge uproar erupted.
"A tie?"
"Ye Jiang fought to a draw with a prodigy, and even surpassed his level?"
"That is Ye Jiang's innate divine power, and its power is indeed terrifying."
"This is outrageous." Many powerful members of the Radiant Dragon Clan found it unbelievable.
Chi Jiuxin quickly stepped forward, handed over the healing pills, her beautiful eyes filled with amazement: "Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang, you are amazing. To be able to fight against Senior Brother Prince Huang to this extent, you truly deserve to be called worthy of your reputation."
the other side,
Bai Cantian's eyes also flashed with amazement: "Brother Ye Jiang's combat strength is outstanding, and his potential is limitless."
"You will surely shine brightly in the Battle of the Hundred Stars."
The surrounding geniuses discussed it endlessly, and their gazes toward Jiang Ye changed from initial curiosity to complete awe.
Those who had previously questioned Jiang Ye's reliance on the treasure to save his life have now completely disappeared.
"His innate divine power is truly extraordinary." A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.
After this battle...
Jiang Ye fully realized the combat power granted by his innate divine ability.
It should be noted that during his final attack, he did not trigger the 90x critical strike of the Mayfly Shaking a Tree.
However, he and Prince Huang fought to a draw.
This is the power of one's innate divine ability!
"My [Star Burning Annihilation] is still in its infancy."
"Once it's fully perfected, it will be able to compete with those geniuses with exceptional talents." Jiang Ye's anticipation grew stronger. And just then...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three figures stepped out simultaneously, all of them extraordinary individuals with powerful auras.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang, I am Qing Lan, and I am willing to wager 100,000 merit points to have a friendly spar with you!"
"I am Mo Chen, and I have staked 100,000 merit points. I humbly request your guidance, fellow Daoist!"
"I am Shi Jian, and I am willing to offer 100,000 merits to volunteer for the battle!"
Jiang Ye was stunned by the series of challenges.
"Aren't these people afraid of losing their merits?" Jiang Ye felt a little doubtful.
These people are at least at the early stage of the fourth-order demigod level, but the key is that they all have extraordinary talents!
Jiang Ye has just demonstrated his combat prowess; even the most gifted geniuses cannot gain much advantage against him.
How dare these people with extraordinary talents challenge him?
At this time.
“They are not afraid of losing.” A cool, clear voice rang out.
Wang Zilu walked slowly over, dressed in white, and transmitted her voice: "For those with extraordinary talents, merits are certainly important, but the bottlenecks on the path of cultivation are even more frightening."
"Your extraordinary talent allowed you to stand up to the prodigies and not be at a disadvantage, which is the best touchstone."
“Sparring with you allows me to quickly identify my own weaknesses, which is more valuable than any cultivation resource,” Wang Zilu said with a smile.
Jiang Ye suddenly realized that these people saw him as an opportunity for a breakthrough.
"In that case, I shall accept your offer." Jiang Ye smiled slightly.
How could one refuse the merits that have been presented to them?
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a burly figure stepped onto the martial arts stage. It was none other than Mo Chen, a powerful expert with extraordinary talent at the mid-stage of the fourth-tier demigod level.
His body was enveloped in a surge of earthy yellow light, and the laws of the earth were gathering frantically: "Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang, I'm betting 100,000 merit points. I won't hold back in this battle."
"Please advise me." Jiang Ye smiled slightly.
As he spoke, star patterns swirled around his body, indicating that he was ready to fight.
"Be careful." Mo Chen shouted, and the martial arts arena trembled violently. Three earthen mountains, each ten thousand feet high, rose from the ground and, with the force of collapsing mountains and splitting rocks, crushed towards Jiang Ye.
The earthen mound was covered with thick runes of law, exuding an aura of invincibility.
Instead of retreating, Jiang Ye advanced, his footsteps moving so that his figure transformed into a streak of light, avoiding a direct confrontation.
"call!"
He raised his hand and waved it, and a condensed starlight spear beam shot out from the sky, causing ripples in the void where the spear beam passed.
"Crack!" The first mound of earth was struck by the spear's edge and instantly crumbled, with most of it breaking apart.
But Mo Chen reacted extremely quickly. He clasped his hands together, and the remaining two earthen mounds suddenly closed, forming a sealed earthen prison that trapped Jiang Ye inside.
"Thrust!" Mo Chen clenched his fist, and invisible power gathered, causing countless sharp spikes to grow from the inner wall of the earthen prison, piercing towards Jiang Ye.
"Break!" Jiang Ye shouted, and golden flames ignited around him, a simplified application of [Star Burning Annihilation].
Under the scorching flames, the inner walls of the earthen prison softened instantly. He threw a punch, carrying the power of the Milky Way and the might of the flames, and smashed a gap in the earthen prison.
Mo Chen's expression changed. Just as he was about to activate his next supernatural power, he saw Jiang Ye's figure appear in front of him.
"Go down." Jiang Ye smiled slightly, placed his palm on Mo Chen's chest, and suddenly unleashed the power of the Milky Way.
"Pfft!" Mo Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward, and he landed heavily, his aura weakened.
He struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with shock: "Three moves... I couldn't even withstand three moves?"
The area around the training ground was deathly silent, then erupted in thunderous gasps.
"Holy crap, he defeated Mo Chen, a mid-stage fourth-tier demigod, in just three moves?"
"So strong."
"No wonder he dared to withstand the self-destruction of a demigod at the limit. With such strength, even the top beings among those with extraordinary talents would be no match for him!"
"If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move." Many powerful figures felt extremely uneasy.
Only Prince Huang remained calm, showing no surprise.
"With Junior Brother Ye Jiang's strength..."
“Dealing with these extraordinary talents is a piece of cake,” Prince Huang smiled slightly.
In his eyes, Jiang Ye was now regarded as a prodigy.
On the martial arts stage.
Mo Chen gave a wry smile, took out a 100,000 merit token and handed it to Jiang Ye: "Fellow Daoist's strength far surpasses mine, this 100,000 merit token is well-deserved. I have benefited greatly from today's battle, thank you for your mercy."
"Thank you for the honor." Jiang Ye cupped his hands and gladly accepted the token.
In the time that followed, battles raged on the training ground.
Jiang Ye's impressive strength did not dampen the enthusiasm of these powerful individuals; on the contrary, it made them even more eager to try.
Many people with extraordinary talents have placed their bets to challenge Jiang Ye.
And the result was, without exception, that Jiang Ye easily defeated them all.
that's it.
Jiang Ye's merit points are increasing at a rapid pace.
One hundred thousand.
Five hundred thousand.
One million.
Three million.
At the same time, news of Ye Jiang's assassination attempt spread like wildfire throughout the entire Huanglong Civilization.
"Have you heard? Venerable Bai's disciple, Ye Jiang, was assassinated in the core area by a demigod at the limit of self-destruction, and he even detonated a god-level treasure!"
"More than that! With his cultivation as a third-tier demigod, he managed to withstand the burst of power from a god-level being and even condensed the rudimentary form of his innate divine ability!"
The news spread from the main star of Huanglong to the surrounding affiliated civilizations, and even reached the star systems of other secondary civilizations.
"A third-tier demigod blocking a god-level burst of power? How is that possible!"
"With such strength at the third-tier demigod level, there is an extremely high probability that he will become a god in the future."
"In the Hundred Star God Battle, he probably has a very high chance of breaking into the top ten." Many civilizations have begun to pay attention to Jiang Ye's news.
Information spreads extremely quickly between Level 2 civilizations.
The Huanglong Civilization did not deliberately conceal the fact that Jiang Ye had been assassinated; on the contrary, they actively promoted the spread of the news.
Quickly.
Many civilizations surrounding the Huanglong civilization received the news and were greatly shocked.
This news quickly reached the Cangxu civilization.
The border palace of the Cangxu civilization.
Lei Jin sat cross-legged on the purple-gold stone seat, his body covered in surging earth-yellow divine patterns, yet he could not conceal the melancholy between his brows.
Since returning from Earth, the small wound had long since healed under the power of the laws, but the pent-up frustration in his heart was like a persistent, intractable disease.
He is a supreme deity, yet his divine body was injured by a mere demigod. If this were to spread, it would become a laughing stock throughout the entire White Dragon Star Cluster.
What annoyed Lei Jin even more was that Jiang Ye was clearly at his last gasp, but he happened to be protected by the Cai Kun civilization, causing Lei Jin to miss the opportunity to eliminate him completely.
"It was just a lucky break that I received the blessing of the planet's will." Lei Jin sneered, his divine body trembling slightly, causing ripples to spread across the surrounding void: "When the time is right, I will surely turn Blue Star into scorched earth to avenge today's humiliation!"
Just then, a dark purple communication rune pierced through the palace and hovered in front of him.
It was the divine thought transmission of Venerable Tiancang.
Lei Jin raised his hand to activate the rune.
But when He heard what was inside, His expression changed instantly.
"what?!"
"Jiang Ye on Blue Star is just an avatar?" Lei Jin's expression changed slightly: "His master is in the Huanglong Civilization, named Ye Jiang, a disciple of Bai Qiong, with the cultivation of a third-order demigod."
Lei Jin suddenly stood up, his 100,000-foot-tall divine body nearly bursting through the palace dome, and his earth-yellow horns burst forth with terrifying divine light.
His pupils shrank sharply, and his divine sense rapidly recalled the details of the battle on Blue Star—the ferocity of the Hundred Billion Refining God Array, the blessing of the planet's will, the decisiveness of the final life-or-death strike... It turned out that all the trouble he had gone through, using the laws of lightning tribulation, and even almost revealing his divine power, was only to deal with an avatar.
The key is.
I haven't killed him yet?
