One Slap!
Chapter 484 A Slap! (Two Chapters Combined, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
"please!"
As the word landed, the air on the arena was instantly torn apart by two solid, oppressive forces, even distorting the light.
The last trace of nonchalance on Qing Gu's face vanished completely.
He knew very well that those who dared to challenge him, numbering over four hundred, must have something to rely on.
"Let's fight." Qing Gu's foot slammed into the arena floor, creating a ripple of cyan-gold.
next second.
"Boom!" The aura of a peak fourth-tier cultivator erupted without reservation, and the cyan-gold light, carrying immense pressure, pressed down on Jiang Ye like a collapsing mountain.
This oppressive aura was even stronger than when he fought Chi Guang earlier.
"Senior Brother Qing Gu is getting serious."
"They're going all out right from the start?" A low exclamation rang out from the Qing Clan camp.
Everyone could see his attitude clearly.
Go all out!
In the arena.
"Whoosh!" Qing Gu's figure swayed, and he used his movement technique to the extreme.
He took a step forward, and the space collapsed layer by layer, making a cracking sound.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Gu appeared in front of Jiang Ye, and a gigantic fist that blotted out the sky slammed into Jiang Ye's face.
This punch was simple and unadorned, without any fancy moves.
It is the ultimate condensation of the power of a peak fourth-order god, enough to shatter mountains and crush any ordinary demigod of the same order.
Jiang Ye slightly raised his eyes, his gaze revealing no emotion, only a calm stillness like that of an ancient well.
The power that had been dormant within him for three years finally began to emerge.
"Whoosh~"
A vast and powerful aura surged from Jiang Ye's body, colliding head-on with Qing Gu's oppressive aura.
Jiang Ye's black clothes fluttered in the wind, and with the movement of his clothes, he managed to keep the mountain-like pressure three feet away.
Peak of the fourth tier!
Inside the Radiant Dragon Temple, chaos erupted instantly.
"Peak of the fourth tier?!"
"Ye Jiang is actually at the peak of the fourth rank."
"This! Ye Jiang?!" Countless powerful figures seemed to explode with shock.
Logically speaking, a peak fourth-tier cultivator shouldn't be surprising to so many people.
But the key point is!
Everyone clearly remembers that three years ago, Ye Jiang was only at the peak of the third rank.
"Three years."
"From the peak of the third tier to the peak of the fourth tier in just three years?" Prince Huang's eyes were also filled with astonishment: "What kind of monster is this?"
"Incredible." Bai Cantian's gaze was also solemn.
Jiang Ye's cultivation speed is too abnormal; even the two of them cannot understand it.
On the high platform, the Black Clan Venerable and the Royal Clan Venerable exchanged a glance, both seeing deep surprise in each other's eyes.
The two looked at Venerable White again. He remained calm and composed, sitting upright in his chair, though the smile on his lips was a little deeper than before.
On the stage, Jiang Ye raised his hand.
There were no special moves, no unusual phenomena.
With a simple palm strike, he met Qing Gu's thunderous punch.
Fist and palm, without any fancy moves, collided fiercely.
"boom!!"
A deafening roar instantly engulfed the entire temple.
A terrifying energy shockwave spread wildly in a ring around the two of them, compressing the air into a tangible form in its path before exploding instantly.
The space of the arena shattered inch by inch, turning into a dark spatial turbulence.
Smoke and dust filled the sky, and a strong wind howled.
Only two figures remained motionless amidst the raging torrent of energy.
Qing Gu's fist stopped three inches from Jiang Ye's palm.
Jiang Ye's palm steadily supported the fist.
Between their fists and palms, energy surged, forming a visible vacuum zone that even light could not penetrate.
Comparable!
This scene plunged the entire hall into a deathly silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"This Yejiang."
"Such powerful strength." For the first time, a look of fear appeared in Qing Gu's eyes.
He could clearly feel the power emanating from Jiang Ye's palm, vast and steady, like a galaxy in motion, flowing endlessly.
"Whoosh!" Qing Gu suddenly pulled back his fist and retreated a thousand meters, creating distance between himself and Jiang Ye.
Upon landing, his sleeves were torn to shreds by the force of the energy, his exposed arms were slightly numb, and the blue light at the tip of his fist had dimmed somewhat.
"You really did hide your true strength." Qing Gu's voice was hoarse, carrying a hint of solemnity, as well as a hint of fanatical fighting spirit that had been completely ignited.
Based on the collision just now.
He already knew that ordinary methods would be absolutely insufficient to defeat Jiang Ye.
Today, he must use his most secret skills.
"The profound laws".
"Go forth!" Qing Gu let out a long roar, and the light around him instantly split into two completely different colors, clearly distinct yet subtly intertwined.
The Law of Prosperity and Decline
[The Law of Frost]
This is Qinggu's trump card, which it has kept hidden for many years!
The Law of Withering and Flourishing is primary, while the Law of Frost is secondary. The two laws complement each other. The freezing effect of frost can make the erosion of Withering and Flourishing more thorough, and its power is several times stronger than when used alone.
"Kill!" Qing Gu pointed a finger at Jiang Ye, and the golden river of time instantly surged, transforming into a torrent hundreds of feet wide, sweeping towards Jiang Ye.
Time flies like an arrow, bringing both prosperity and decline.
"Splash~"
The rushing river contains the ultimate mystery of life and death, and wherever it passes, the rocks in the arena world are instantly weathered and turned into ashes.
Immediately afterwards, a pale blue light burst forth.
Frost and ice have frozen the land for thousands of miles.
Countless sharp ice spikes, some thousands of feet long, gleamed with a chilling light, and, mixed in with the long river of time, shot out like a torrential rain, completely enveloping the Jiangye.
The two laws intertwined, forming an impenetrable net that covered the arena for tens of thousands of miles.
Even a fourth-tier peak expert would have no choice but to temporarily evade such an attack.
Jiang Ye remained calm.
He did not activate the Void Law to dissolve the attack, but simply closed his eyes slowly, as if giving up the fight.
"Buzz!"
A clear, melodious sound came from Jiang Ye's body.
Tens of millions of star patterns, like sleeping stars awakening, emerged from his limbs and bones. Red, blue, purple, gold... all kinds of star patterns intertwined, like stars falling from the sky, covering his entire body, and even forming a dazzling starry river curtain three feet away from him.
[Star River Divine Body]!
A perfect, god-level ultimate technique!
Even if one only cultivates to the level of a demigod, their physical strength and defensive capabilities have already surpassed the limits of a fourth-tier demigod.
"Boom!"
The river of time surged forward first, crashing violently against the star-patterned light screen.
The next second, something strange happened.
The star patterns flowed and swirled, possessing the power of time and space, like a vast galaxy encompassing all things.
The corrosive power of time fell on the light screen, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, unable to even stir up a ripple, and was instantly assimilated by the power of the galaxy.
Following closely behind, countless ice spikes rained down like a storm.
"Whoosh~" The moment they touched the light screen, they shattered with a roar, turning into countless ice shards that vanished into nothingness under the light of the star patterns.
Jiang Ye stood in the center of the light barrier, his black robes fluttering in the wind, yet not a single shard of ice touched his hem. He had actually blocked Qing Gu's full-force attack with his bare body!
"This... is impossible!" Qing Gu's pupils shrank sharply.
His own dual laws and five great mysteries couldn't even break through the opponent's defense?
How could Ye Jiang be so powerful?
I underestimated you.
"It seems I have no choice but to use that move." In a flash, Qing Gu calmed down and then bit his tongue hard.
"Mysterious magic."
【Withering and Flourishing: The Ultimate Sublimation!】
A mouthful of blood essence spurted from Qing Gu's mouth, turning into a blood streak in the air before instantly merging into his body.
This is Qing Gu's trump card, a technique that allows him to temporarily break through his own limitations and enter a higher realm by burning his life essence.
As the essence and blood merged in, Qing Gu's aura suddenly surged.
Surpassing the peak of the fourth tier!
It's important to understand that after reaching the peak of the fourth tier, every step forward is a huge leap, and even a slight difference is like an insurmountable chasm.
An extremely terrifying pressure erupted from Qing Gu, sweeping across the entire arena, and even the people in the main hall felt a sense of suffocation.
This is a power that transcends the realm of demigods, enough to crush all fourth-order demigods.
"That is?"
"A sublimation technique?" A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Cantian's eyes, then he sighed softly, "Qing Gu was willing to burn his technique in order to win."
"It's already quite remarkable that Ye Jiang was able to force him to resort to such a desperate measure."
Bai Cantian shook his head slightly.
Prince Huang frowned, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
"This must be Qing Gu's signature skill."
“Enough to crush a peak fourth-tier cultivator.” Prince Huang sighed inwardly, “Junior Brother Ye Jiang, you’re in danger.”
Inside the main hall.
Everyone stood up, their eyes fixed on the arena, convinced that Jiang Ye was doomed to lose.
Chi Guang gently closed his eyes, a hint of regret flashing in them.
"Pity."
"No matter what, Ye Jiang, thank you." Chi Guang thought to himself, "You have done this much and restored all the dignity of the Crimson God Clan."
On the high platform.
The Black Clan Venerable shook his head, his tone tinged with regret: "Ye Jiang has extraordinary talent, but unfortunately, he encountered the desperate Qing Gu."
The royal family elder nodded and said, "After using the Qinggu Burning Secret Technique, he has reached the pinnacle of the demigod realm. Unless Ye Jiang has even more powerful methods, the outcome is already decided."
The White Venerable's expression finally showed a slight change.
But He still didn't speak, only staring intently at the projection, wanting to see just how far his disciple could go.
On the arena, Qing Gu's figure became ethereal, as if he had merged with heaven and earth.
The laws of decay and prosperity surrounding him had reached an unprecedented extreme. Withering and flourishing, birth and death were endless, and each cycle carried the vicissitudes and ruthlessness of time.
It was as if it had transformed into the embodiment of time, walking step by step toward Jiang Ye.
With each step, a patch of new grass and trees sprouted on the arena, lush and vibrant with life.
But just as the plants reached their peak, they withered and turned to ash, vanishing into thin air.
Life and death, glory and decay, birth and annihilation, unfolded continuously beneath his feet, forming a bizarre and terrifying scene.
"Ye Jiang".
"It's over," Qing Gu said softly, his figure disappearing from the spot in an instant.
The next moment, he appeared behind Jiang Ye.
His right hand slowly rose and clenched in the air.
In an instant, the laws of decay and prosperity and the laws of frost in the world converged wildly, transforming into a giant cyan-gold hand.
The colossal hand, spanning tens of thousands of miles, blotted out the sky and contained within its palm the ultimate power of a demigod, as well as the profound mysteries of the cycle of life and death.
This palm strike seemed to shatter heaven and earth, and freeze time and space.
Jiang Ye was completely enveloped by the giant hand, with nowhere to avoid it and nowhere to retreat!
"I won." A hint of a smile flashed in Qing Gu's eyes. He was the one who had the last laugh!
However, at that moment...
Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes.
He looked up at the colossal, azure-gold hand overhead, a force capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
No laws were activated, no supernatural powers were used, and even the star patterns were not strengthened.
Jiang Ye simply raised his right hand.
Tens of millions of star patterns converged wildly in his palm, their brilliance reaching its peak, like a condensed star.
"Whoosh!" He slapped out with his palm.
This palm strike had no flashy special effects, no magnificent phenomena; it was ordinary and unpretentious.
"He actually intends to withstand an ultimate attack from a demigod with his bare body?"
Everyone gasped in surprise, unable to believe their eyes.
What confidence, and what arrogance!
Chi Guang suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes filled with astonishment. She wanted to speak up to warn him, but found that she couldn't make a sound at all.
Everything is too late.
Two hands collided violently under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
"BOOM—!!!"
This explosion was ten times more terrifying than any of the previous ones.
It was as if two stars had collided, and the entire Huanglong Temple was trembling violently.
The three Venerable Ones attacked simultaneously, and three dazzling divine lights shot out from the high platform, landing on the arena's protective shield.
The shield barely held steady, the runes flashing with dazzling light, without shattering.
Otherwise, the entire temple would be razed to the ground by the aftershocks of this terrifying energy.
"Crack!!" The giant cyan-gold hand began to shatter inch by inch the moment it touched Jiang Ye's palm.
Like a delicate piece of porcelain struck by a heavy hammer, countless cracks spread rapidly.
The Law of Withering and Flourishing was directly shattered by the power of the star pattern, like a frightened bird or beast, unable to reassemble. The mysteries of time were rendered meaningless by that slap, utterly crushed.
They were utterly crushed!
"No!"
Qing Gu let out a shrill scream, filled with shock and resentment.
At the same time, his figure flew backwards from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
"call out--!"
Qing Gu's figure streaked across the arena world at high speed, leaving a long trail of blood in his wake. He flew for thousands of kilometers before crashing heavily into the transparent protective barrier at the edge of the arena with a dull thud.
"Oh!"
The ancient aura had withered to the extreme, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
His internal laws were in disarray, his divine power was exhausted, and he no longer had any fighting ability.
Another slap.
Reinvented!
The smoke and dust on the arena dissipated.
Jiang Ye remained standing in the same spot, his black clothes fluttering in the wind.
The star pattern on his palm slowly disappeared into his body, and his aura gradually calmed down. His expression was as calm as if nothing had happened, as if the palm strike had just swatted away an annoying fly.
The entire Radiant Dragon Temple fell into a deathly silence once again.
You could hear a pin drop.
Everyone stared wide-eyed and mouths agape at the two figures on the stage, their minds blank, unable to think.
What they just witnessed completely overturned their understanding.
