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

Chapter 1284: Terrifying Jiang Ye! Fallen! (Double-Length Chapter)

The three of Jiang Ye crossed the last barrier of chaos mist.

The scene before them suddenly opened up wide.

“What is that?”

“This!?” Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji gasped with a deep intake of air as they looked at the scene ahead.

Before them lay an unimaginably vast ring-shaped continent, with a diameter exceeding billions of kilometers, floating in the depths of chaos.

The edge of the continent was surrounded by countless celestial remnants.

The remnants were large enough to be equated with planets or as small as dust, densely packed to form a brilliant star ring, slowly rotating in the void.

But what was most captivating was the very center of the continent.

A Heaven-Reaching Altar, entirely cast from chaotic divine stones, rose majestically, piercing the sky.

The altar was millions of miles high, clearly visible even from billions of miles away.

The surface of the altar was engraved with densely packed ancient divine inscriptions, each radiating an ancient and vast aura, as if narrating a long-forgotten era.

“Nine Heavens Cave Mansion.”

“The core area!” Jiang Ye’s gaze fixed on the Heaven-Reaching Altar: “Could the Authority Dao Seed be there?”

Without much hesitation.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Ye’s figure flashed as he headed towards the ring-shaped continent.

Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji followed closely behind.

As the three stepped onto the edge of the continent, an ancient and mysterious message directly entered their Sea of Consciousness.

The message carried no emotion, no sound, no text, only pure information transfer, as if coming from the will of heaven and earth itself.

Jiang Ye closed his eyes to sense it, then opened them a moment later.

“Rules.”

“On this continent, twelve authority fragments are scattered.”

“Gather three fragments to unlock the restriction of the central Heaven-Reaching Altar and gain the qualification to seize the Authority Dao Seed.”

“Holders of fragments can sense each other; the more fragments, the larger the sensing range.”

“If someone gathers three fragments, it will be announced to all participants on the continent.”

As his words fell, Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji’s expressions changed simultaneously.

“These rules are too ruthless.”

“Having fragments is equivalent to exposing one’s position, and the more fragments, the harder it is to hide.” Zhao Tianji couldn’t help but remark: “Gathering three even announces it to the whole continent… Isn’t that just telling everyone ‘come and grab’?”

Bai Qing frowned and analyzed: “This is forcing everyone to kill each other.”

“Only the strongest have the right to stand on the altar.”

“It’s meant as a selection,” Jiang Ye was not surprised.

His gaze turned towards the depths of the continent, where a glint of sharpness flickered in his eyes.

Twelve authority fragments.

Nine star talents.

And him.

“Bai Qing, Zhao Tianji.”

“You stay on the periphery to respond.” Jiang Ye withdrew his gaze and said to Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji.

Bai Qing was taken aback: “And you?”

“I’ll go alone.”

Jiang Ye did not explain further.

Bai Qing and Zhao Tianji exchanged a look, neither objected.

They knew that the impending battle over the Authority Dao Seed would be a battlefield for the major star talents, and with their strength, following would only become a burden.

“Alright!”

“Take care.” Bai Qing said in a deep voice.

Jiang Ye nodded, his figure flashed, becoming a flowing light as he swept towards the depths of the continent.

…

The ring-shaped continent was boundless.

Chaotic air currents roiled on the surface of the continent, making the gullies and ruins on the ground appear and disappear.

Jiang Ye moved alone at great speed, his divine thought spreading like a tide in all directions.

“Whether it’s the Cai Kun Camp or the Celestial Battle Civilization.”

“No one knows that I’ve broken through to the Peak of the Divine Body Realm.” Jiang Ye pondered over many thoughts in his mind: “Nor does anyone know that I have means to counter star talents.”

This was his biggest information gap.

In Cai Kun and Celestial Battle’s knowledge, he was still considered around the fiftieth rank on the Earth List, Late Divine Body Realm.

His combat power could, at most, threaten those outside the top ten.

No one would regard him as the greatest threat.

Even Mo Yuan merely viewed him as a ‘target to be eliminated’, not a ‘competitor for authority fragments’.

“This underestimation is my opportunity.”

Jiang Ye’s gaze sharpened slightly.

Apart from the information gap, he had another trump card.

Dao body, Blue Heaven King!

Dual-body acting separately, the speed of collecting fragments was double that of others.

However…for the Dao body, Jiang Ye had other plans.

“The Blue Heaven King has also entered the continent.” Jiang Ye sensed the position of Blue Heaven King.

The Dao body had entered the continent from another direction, quite far from him.

“First, find the authority fragments.”

Jiang Ye quickened his pace, heading into the depths of the continent.

After traveling for roughly half an hour.

Jiang Ye suddenly halted.

“Buzz!” Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the mark of the ancient god protector suddenly transmitted a strong repulsive sensation.

The repulsive sensation was extremely abrupt, as if something was resisting his approach.

The direction pointed to the southeast of the continent.

“What’s going on?”

“An ancient god’s will repelling something?” Jiang Ye frowned deeply.

The ancient god protector’s mark was the will left by the Dark Ancient God Errens.

Normally, it never revealed itself, only passively activating when he faced divine soul attacks.

But now, the mark proactively transmitted a sensation.

And it wasn’t resonance, it was repulsion.

“What’s over in that direction?” Jiang Ye was perplexed.

Dangers?

Authority fragments?

Or something else?

Why would the will of the Dark Ancient God be so repulsive?

Many thoughts flashed rapidly through Jiang Ye’s mind.

He pondered for a moment, then without hesitation, turned and dashed towards the direction of the strongest repulsive sensation.

“No matter what it is, I must see it.” Jiang Ye understood this point: “If it is indeed an authority fragment, I mustn’t miss it.”

Jiang Ye raced along the sensation.

The void along the way became increasingly distorted, with the power of laws in utter chaos.

Chaotic air currents surged on the continent’s surface like countless frenzied serpents, emitting low wailing sounds.
