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

Chapter 1191 - 538: The Ancient God’s Trial! Is Ye Jiang Still Alive?

How many years has it lived?

So long that even it can’t remember.

For endless ages, no one could cross the torrent of millions of times gravity and reach this place.

Jiang Ye is the first.

Yet Jiang Ye did not rely on himself, but on the protection of the White Dragon Royal Court... Thus, in the eyes of the golden-robed elder, Jiang Ye’s talent is not considered top-notch.

"This boy."

"Is most likely to be trapped in the legacy trial." The golden-robed elder gazed dispassionately, "For hundreds, even thousands of years."

"Until his life’s end."

He watched coldly without the slightest ripple.

Neither interfering, helping, nor favoring.

This is his duty as a Guardian Puppet.

...

The space of the legacy trial.

Time passed, who knows how long it’s been.

Jiang Ye’s injuries healed, and he stood up tall.

He didn’t challenge the ancient god projection again, but walked towards the nearest black monolith.

Raising his hand, he touched it.

"Buzz~"

The secret inscriptions lit up, and the vast power of laws surged into his body like a tide.

Jiang Ye felt his divine soul tremble, as countless mysterious information flooded into his mind.

It was the Dark Ancient God Elons’ insights into the laws, his understanding of the universe.

Profound.

Deeply abstruse.

Far exceeding Jiang Ye’s current comprehension.

Each thread of analysis consumed vast amounts of divine soul power.

In just an instant, Jiang Ye felt his divine soul exhausted, as if he had fought continuously for three days and nights.

"These secret inscriptions."

"Are too complex for me." Jiang Ye couldn’t help but be slightly puzzled, "Is this really at the Demigod stage?"

Even with his comprehension, he found it extremely difficult.

"No matter."

"Continue." Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, discarding distractions, fully immersing himself in comprehension.

He knew this was the only way.

Comprehend the monolith, enhance his foundation.

Defeat the ancient god, obtain the legacy!

...

Time slipped quietly in comprehension.

The trial space was without sun or moon, Jiang Ye didn’t know how long had passed.

Perhaps a day, perhaps a long time.

Jiang Ye only knew he had passed out dozens of times.

Every time he woke, his head throbbed, his divine soul weak to the extreme.

But he did not stop.

Comprehending.

Fainting.

Waking.

Continuing to comprehend.

Repeat endlessly, tirelessly.

Finally, at a certain moment—

"Buzz!!!"

The laws within Jiang Ye’s body suddenly began to grow!

Spear Path Law, Ashen Law, Chaos Law...

The three laws were all slowly improving!

"What?"

"This?!" Jiang Ye abruptly opened his eyes, filled with shock.

Demigod Perfection, the laws had already reached their ultimate.

Unless he ascended to godhood, there was no way to improve them further.

This was the iron rule of the Starry Sky!

Yet now, this iron rule was broken!

"These monoliths..."

"Can actually break the boundary shackles?" Jiang Ye took a deep breath, his heart extremely shaken.

He finally understood the preciousness of those monoliths.

Far exceeding any opportunity!

"If I could comprehend them all..." Jiang Ye’s gaze swept over those black monoliths, "How greatly will my foundation soar?"

The monoliths were densely packed, there were over a hundred.

Each one etched with the Dark Ancient God’s insights.

"A hundred years?"

"A thousand years?"

Jiang Ye didn’t know how long it would take.

But he knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

It must be seized!

"Continue."

Jiang Ye closed his eyes again, once more sinking into comprehension.

...

Time flowed like water.

In the trial space, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ye sat cross-legged in front of the first monolith, surrounded by a faint Chaos Qi.

Compared with three years ago, his aura was more restrained and profound.

Like a sharp sword hidden in its sheath, showing no edge, waiting for the day to emerge.

"Three years."

"The first monolith is finally fully understood." Jiang Ye slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant light flickering briefly within them.

His comprehension of laws was several times more profound than three years ago.

Spear Path Law, Ashen Law, Chaos Law, all broke through the shackles of Demigod Perfection, reaching a new height.

Although still not godhood, they far surpassed any Demigod Perfection.

"Challenge once more?"

Jiang Ye’s gaze moved towards the ancient god projection at the center of the space.

Over the three years, he challenged more than ten thousand times.

Every time ended in a complete defeat.

But every time, he could feel his improvement.

From initially being crushed with one palm, to later enduring three moves, five moves, ten moves...

Though still unable to break its defense, he was no longer powerless.

"Forget it."

"Continue comprehending then." Jiang Ye shook his head, knowing he still had a long way to go.

He glanced at the black monoliths.

The first one was understood.

But there were over a hundred more in sight.

"To comprehend them all..."

"Will likely require an extremely long time." Jiang Ye estimated internally.

At least several decades, or even a hundred years.

"The situation outside, I don’t know how it’s like now."

A hint of worry arose in Jiang Ye’s heart.

The Cangxu Civilization, Heaven-Burning Civilization, and many Celestial Battle camp civilizations would not easily give up.

The Huanglong Civilization, perhaps under tremendous pressure.

Bai Cantian, Wang Zilu, and the others...

And Chen Zilu.

"Cannot wait too long."

"Must speed up."

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, moving towards the second monolith.

...

Dark Singularity, at a certain treasure place.

Bingli stood quietly in a snow-white long dress amid the chaotic currents.

For three years, she had traversed many areas of the Dark Singularity, gaining significantly.

Only one final step away from ascending to divinity.

But her face bore no trace of joy.

"Three years..."

"Still no news of Ye Jiang."

A hint of worry flashed in Bingli’s cold eyes.

She already knew that day, when the god descended into the Dark Singularity, bringing Jiang Ye into the profound depths.

Since then, no more news.

Some said Jiang Ye had already perished.

Some said he perished alongside the god.

But Bingli did not believe it.

She believed that the young man who rose from the Hundred-Star Divine War would not die easily.

The figure who defeated her, defeated Lei Hao, and countless prodigies, would not fade into silence.

"Continue searching."

"Use all channels to find Ye Jiang’s whereabouts." Bingli turned, instructing her subordinates: "Alive, see the person; dead, see the corpse."

"Yes!"

The subordinates responded respectfully, turning to leave.

Bingli gazed towards the depths of the Dark Singularity, her eyes complex.

"Ye Jiang."

"You’re still alive, aren’t you?"
