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

Chapter 1156 - 525: New Achievement! Walking Heavenly Retribution

A year ago, during the Hundred-Star Divine War, although she was defeated by Jiang Ye, she believed the gap between them was not large.

Later, her ranking surpassed Jiang Ye’s, filling her with absolute confidence that if they were to battle again, she would surely defeat Jiang Ye.

But now?

"Compared to a year ago."

"The gap between him and me has widened." Bingli sighed inwardly, overwhelmed by indescribable emotions.

Admiration? Resentment? Or... a barely perceptible thrill?

She couldn’t tell.

Other demigod powerhouses gazed at Jiang Ye with fervent eyes, as if looking up to a god.

"So formidable."

"All ten demigod perfectionists, slain completely!"

"This Ye Jiang is already invincible within his rank."

"The champion of the Hundred-Star Divine War lives up to his name." Numerous demigod powerhouses from the civilizations of Qingmu, Xuanjin, and Chiyan were filled with awe.

The [Boqing] deity also cast an admiring glance.

Even from the vantage point of the Qiuqing Divine Hall, Jiang Ye’s performance in this battle undeniably stood out.

Let alone the [Black Obsidian] and several other deities, whose eyes were filled with approval.

This young man has a promising future!

However, just then.

[Boqing] suddenly wore a cold expression, his gaze like a sharp blade shooting toward a seemingly calm void on the right.

"Sneaky."

"Still not showing yourself?" [Boqing] shouted coldly, like thunder exploding, shaking the void for thousands of miles.

Everyone’s faces changed, becoming instantly alert, each unleashing divine power.

Is there still someone hidden nearby?

Under everyone’s gaze, that void slowly distorted, with figures gradually emerging.

Leading them was a girl with long silver-blue hair reaching her waist, her eyes like pale purple crystal, with skin as fair as snow.

It was Anivia and her group!

"Are there more ambushers?"

"Friend or foe?" Everyone was shocked, full of vigilance.

"Who are you, and why are you hiding here?" The Black Obsidian deity asked, his expression sinking.

Anivia remained composed, her silver-blue hair fluttering in the wind, her amethyst eyes sweeping over the crowd, a faint smile forming at the corner of her lips.

"No need to be nervous."

"I am just passing through." Anivia’s voice was cool, like the melting water of glaciers: "I have no intention of seizing treasures, nor of becoming your enemy."

While speaking.

Her eyes flickered with appreciation as they fell upon Jiang Ye, her bright purple eyes revealing a hint of admiration: "As expected of the champion of the White Dragon Star System Group’s Hundred-Star Divine War, truly living up to the name."

Jiang Ye remained calm, his expression unmoved.

He had already recognized her as Anivia, ranked third on the ’Starry Sky Powerhouse List,’ from the civilization of West Wind.

The fact that she hid in the void was probably not out of goodwill.

[Boqing]’s expression was indifferent, saying coldly, "Since you have no intention to seize, please leave quickly."

Anivia chuckled softly without anger, merely casting a casual glance at Boqing.

"Rest assured, I will leave shortly."

"However," Anivia turned to Jiang Ye, smiling slightly, "Ye Jiang, I believe we will meet again soon."

With that, she turned and flicked her sleeve, leading the elderly man in a gray robe and her entourage, turning to step into the void.

Her figure gradually faded, ultimately disappearing into the depths of the Chaos Sea.

...

In the distant void.

Anivia and her party flew rapidly away from the battlefield.

"Your Highness."

"Are we really not going to take action?" The gray-robed elder couldn’t help but ask in a low voice: "They have just finished a great battle and are at their weakest..."

Anivia shook her head.

"It’s unnecessary."

"I have faith in this Ye Jiang." Anivia’s purple eyes showed depth: "His future is certainly not confined to the Divine Body Realm and Divine Sea Realm."

"Such a person is best allied with, not made an enemy of."

She paused, lowering her voice: "So, it’s better not to pick the fruit of this team."

The gray-robed old man was slightly stunned, then thoughtfully nodded.

To receive such an evaluation from His Highness, Ye Jiang is indeed remarkable.

...

On the island.

Jiang Ye and his entourage, under the protection of Boqing and Black Obsidian deities, stepped onto the central area of the island.

This island is the largest on the edge of the Chaos Sea, rumored to be where a divine general under an ancient god fell.

On the ground, ancient divine patterns crisscrossed, emanating a profound and ancient aura.

Precious treasures with sparkling spiritual light could be seen everywhere, growing in patches, with their radiance soaring to the sky.

Pieces of divine crystals were embedded in the rocks, easy to pick up, and incredibly valuable.

"The opportunities here are beyond imagination!" a demigod perfectionist couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice.

"Be careful."

"Do not touch recklessly." The Black Obsidian deity warned sternly: "Although there are treasures here, the danger is substantial!"

Just as those words fell —

"Boom!"

A demigod perfectionist took a wrong step, touching an ancient rune on the ground.

In an instant, endless dark light exploded, and the powerhouse had no time to scream before his demigod body shattered.

Divine Soul destroyed!

"What!?"

The crowd was terrified and retreated.

"Ancient Divine Killing Formation."

[Boqing] gazed solemnly, "Even after endless ages, it still possesses such power..."

The terrifying killing intent just now had made even him exceedingly fearful, not daring to act rashly.

Jiang Ye was inwardly wary.

In front of this killing formation, even a demigod perfectionist is as fragile as an ant, beyond the rescue of deities!

"Stay close to me."

[Boqing] spoke, his azure robe fluttering without wind, the phantom of a coiling dragon surrounding them, protecting everyone.

They continue forward.

Deep within the island, gray mist spreads, with visibility less than a hundred meters.

Suddenly.

"There it is... the [Soul Condensing Jade Lotus]!"

Someone cried out in surprise, their gaze fixed on the depths of the mist.

There, a gray lotus flower quietly grew on a piece of black rock, exuding a faint aura of chaos.
