My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 495 Success! Forbidden Treasure! (Two chapters combined, please vote!)
The standoff between Bing Li and Mo Tianlun lasted only a moment.

The chill and demonic energy in the valley were so intense that they were almost solidified.

No unnecessary words.

The two moved at the same time.

"Boom!"

The void exploded with a deafening roar, and the biting cold and pitch-black demonic energy collided wildly in the heart of the valley. Energy ripples swept across the surroundings like a tsunami, shattering towering peaks in the distance and creating bottomless ravines in the ground.

"Ice".

"Sealing Ten Thousand Miles." Bing Li's figure was as cold and aloof as a goddess from the heavens, her clothes fluttering in the wind. With a wave of her hand, she could freeze ten thousand miles away. Wherever the cold air passed, even the air itself would freeze into sharp ice shards.

This is just a very common ice-type law.

But once she used it, it became incredibly terrifying.

"You want to seal me away?"

"Dream on." Mo Tianlun's fighting spirit soared.

His current position as the tenth on the Hundred Star God Battle Ranking is no accident.

Mo Tianlun took Bing Li's casual attack head-on, his body only trembled slightly, but he did not retreat even half a step.

The two figures moved at lightning speed through the void, leaving only blurry afterimages.

Each collision caused the void to twist and roar, and the heavens and earth to tremble slightly.

The hidden geniuses all around retreated, their minds trembling.

This is the terrifying power of the top ten on the God War Ranking; a single, casual strike can crush countless demigods.

"Give up."

"You are no match for me." Bing Li's expression was indifferent, and her movements were calm and measured. She did not use her full strength from beginning to end, and it seemed as if she was just casually testing the waters.

Behind the pile of boulders.

"Bing Li's strength is indeed very strong." Jiang Ye's expression was solemn.

He could naturally see that Bing Li had only made a casual move, yet the power it generated was enough to suppress the vast majority of demigods at their peak.

According to intelligence, Bing Li's forte is the [Mysterious Ice Law], but she has not used such methods at the moment.

With just a casual move, he subtly suppressed Mo Tianlun, the number one genius of the Cangxu Civilization.

"I don't know."

"What kind of power does the Profound Ice Law possess?" A glint flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes. It was rumored that the Profound Ice Law could freeze time and space, causing the entire world to fall into a state of absolute stillness.

He hid here to see what the other party was capable of.

While Bing Li and Mo Tianlun were engaged in fierce combat, they were also locking onto the [forbidden] creature and continuously bombarding it with spells.

For them, fighting is a minor matter.

Acquiring the most valuable treasure is the top priority.

"Roar--!"

The forbidden behemoth let out a weak yet still ferocious roar, the sound echoing through the valley.

Its scales were shattered and blood was dripping from its body, staining the ground beneath it red. Yet, with its forbidden-level powerful physique, it withstood the relentless bombardment of the two prodigies.

"Human race."

"You deserve to die," the forbidden behemoth growled, its voice filled with terrifying majesty.

Although it is in a period of weakness, it is still terrifying.

Its giant claw swept across, unleashing bursts of black lightning. The void within a radius of tens of thousands of miles shattered layer by layer, and a terrifying aura enveloped the two of them.

Bing Li and Mo Tianlun dodged simultaneously, their movements fluid and without the slightest panic.

The two fought fiercely while working together to suppress the giant beast.

Ice blades and demonic seals rained down on the behemoth, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

"Roar~" The aura of the forbidden behemoth continued to decline.

It was indeed physically strong, but it couldn't withstand the repeated attacks from the two top geniuses, and its life force rapidly faded away.

It's only a matter of time before it's erased.

"The forbidden creature is about to fall."

"Seize the opportunity." Inside and outside the valley, all eyes were fixed on this battlefield.

Many demigods at their peak have the intention of taking advantage of any opportunity to profit from a bargain.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Jiang Ye, hidden in the shadows, had already quietly drawn his longbow.

Jiang Ye slowly raised his right hand.

An ancient black bow covered with ancient patterns slowly materialized in his palm. This was the [God-Shooting Bow], a fourth-tier semi-divine weapon, which he had exchanged in the Huanglong Civilization!
The bow gleamed with a faint golden light, exuding an incomparably sharp aura.

Countless phantom arms appeared, pulling the bowstring along with Jiang Ye.

The surrounding air was constantly being torn apart, producing a soft popping sound.

He is waiting.

The moment when the beast's aura was at its lowest and the two were most focused.

"boom!"

With a single palm strike, Bing Li froze half of the giant beast's body, completely halting its movements.

Mo Tianlun seized this once-in-a-lifetime opening and slammed his palm hard into the heart of the giant beast.

The forbidden creature let out an extremely mournful wail.

His aura plummeted to rock bottom in an instant.

Even the strength to struggle had almost disappeared.

"Now." Jiang Ye's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, his gaze sharp as a knife.

The fingers abruptly released the bowstring.

Countless phantom arms also erupted.

【Star-Piercing Arrow Technique】!
"Shhhhh-"

Arrows shot out from the sky, a thousand in an instant!
Thousands of golden arrows tore through the sky, engulfing the entire battlefield like a torrential rain. Wherever the arrows passed, even space itself was torn open with tiny cracks.

[Void Search] Triggered!
At distances of 10 meters or more, the long-range hit rate is increased by 100%.

Damage increases with distance, and there is a 0.1% chance to inflict the 'Void Imprisonment' status on the target.

In that instant, it was as if the world had been paused.

Wherever the arrow passed, all movement was forcibly frozen.

Bingli's raised hand froze in mid-air, the cold aura around her stopped flowing, and for the first time, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across her cool face.

Mo Tianlun's body also stiffened, the demonic energy stopped churning, and the fierce look on his face instantly froze.

Even the forbidden behemoth that was about to perish remained motionless, still roaring, its pupils no longer contracting.

[Void Imprisonment!]

Although it only lasts for a brief moment, so short that ordinary people cannot perceive it.

But that was enough for Jiang Ye to deliver the fatal blow.

"Whoosh!" Jiang Ye moved like lightning, covering a distance of ten thousand meters in one step.

His figure left a long afterimage in the void, moving at an extreme speed.

The next moment, he appeared like a ghost atop the forbidden behemoth.

Grip the spear tightly!

All the divine power, laws, and soul power in his body were poured into the tip of the spear at this moment.

Every muscle, every meridian, was roaring wildly.

"die!"

A single shot pierced through the air!
"Pfft~"

The spear passed straight through the giant beast's head without any obstruction.

The spear tip pierced through his jaw, drawing out a cloud of crimson blood.

The forbidden creature didn't even have time to let out its final scream.

The massive, mountain-like body collapsed with a deafening roar, causing the earth to tremble violently and sending dust billowing into the air.

Completely lost all vitality.

[Defeat the forbidden creature and gain 1000 points]

A line of golden characters shone brightly in the void, dazzlingly clear.

Jiang Ye's ranking began to skyrocket instantly.

From outside the top nine thousand, it surged upwards all the way.

The numbers jumped so fast it was dazzling.

7000, 5000, 3000, 1000...

But Jiang Ye had no time to care about the rankings.

His gaze was fixed on the center of the shattered remains of the giant beast.

next moment.

"Whoosh~" A crimson crystal slowly floated up. It was only the size of a fist, but it was full of light and exuded an ancient, vast, and extremely pure aura.

Even a mere wisp of it caused his soul to tremble, and his cultivation level stirred restlessly, as if he could break through at any moment.

"It's a Beast God Crystal!"

Bai Gui's voice rang out in my mind, filled with surprise.

"This is a treasure countless times more precious than Beast Spirit Crystals!" Bai Gui exclaimed urgently, "Quickly accept it, lest it be stolen!"

Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed, and without any further hesitation, he reached out to grab the Beast God Crystal.

Just then.

"boom--"

The Void Imprisonment effect has completely dissipated.

Bingli and Mo Tianlun broke free from their restraints at the same time.

The two men's faces were icy cold, their eyes flashing with killing intent, and they attacked almost simultaneously.

A hand covered in ice and snow instantly enveloped an area of ​​100,000 miles. A demonic seal that blotted out the sky erupted with terrifying tacit understanding.

Two auras, each carrying the power to annihilate everything, erupted simultaneously, sealing off the void and completely enveloping Jiang Ye.

Almost simultaneously, Bing Li and Mo Tianlun rushed towards the 'Beast God Crystal,' clearly determined to obtain it.

"pity."

"The version of the Star Piercing Arrow Technique is too outdated." Jiang Ye sighed inwardly upon seeing this.

The Star Piercing Arrow Technique was the arrow technique he practiced before he became a demigod.

After being improved, it can be considered a powerful archery technique at the demigod level. However, it is clearly not enough at the ultimate demigod level.

If not.

The duration of [Void Imprisonment] can be extended even further.

Despite this, Jiang Ye remained completely unperturbed.

"roll!"

Faced with the combined attack of the two, Jiang Ye flipped his hand and struck out.

A monstrous demonic aura appeared, coalescing into a gigantic hand that blotted out the starry sky.

"Whoosh!" The giant hand, surrounded by endless dark light, seemed to emerge from the netherworld and slapped the two of them.

The Nine Netherworld Demon Palm technique erupted with a deafening roar!

A jet-black palm print appeared out of nowhere, domineering, evil, and violent, carrying an aura that could devour everything.

Bang-!
He forcefully blocked the combined attack from Bing Li and Mo Tianlun.

The shockwave exploded with a deafening roar, howling winds and billowing smoke and dust, instantly shattering the void within a radius of 100,000 miles.

Jiang Ye remained unmoved, raising his hand to grab the 'Beast God Crystal' that exuded an endlessly alluring aura.

He was already closest to the giant beast's carcass, giving him an initial advantage.

With a swift reach, the Beast God Crystal was captured in his palm, its warm yet hard texture radiating from it.

"Got it." Jiang Ye smiled slightly.

With a thought, he instantly stored it in his storage bracelet.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Not far away, the pretty young girl's face turned red with anger.

"That guy!" she stomped her foot angrily, "He actually managed to snag the bargain? And right under His Highness's nose!"

That's a Beast God Crystal!
She felt extremely unwilling, but she was also slightly surprised by Jiang Ye's strength.

Jiang Ye's ability to snatch a treasure right under Bing Li's nose suggests that his strength might not be as weak as she had previously thought.

Behind the pile of rubble.

"This guy."

"He really did it?" Chi Guang was overjoyed.

Jiang Ye actually managed to snatch the treasure right from the mouths of the two prodigies!

This is simply unbelievable!
Around the valley, the powerful figures were in an uproar, their faces filled with disbelief, looking at Jiang Ye as if he were a monster.

A person whose ranking is about to fall below 9,000.

How dare you snatch food from a tiger's mouth?

And it actually succeeded?

This is simply the most mind-blowing scene since the start of the Hundred Star God War.

On the battlefield, the atmosphere was extremely tense, with swords drawn and weapons poised to strike.

The air seemed to freeze.

"Ye Jiang".

"Impressive skills indeed." Bing Li's gaze was cold. She was dressed in white, exuding a refined and otherworldly aura, but her voice carried a chilling edge.

In contrast, Mo Tianlun's gaze was sinister.

"Hand over the Beast God Crystal!"

"I'll spare your life." Mo Tianlun stared at Jiang Ye, his demonic energy surging around him.

Jiang Ye stood tall with his gun in hand, his voice calm: "The thing is in my hands."

"If you're so capable, come and rob me."

"You think you can take me?" Mo Tianlun sneered, his eyes flashing with overwhelming killing intent.

His demonic energy surged dramatically, making him appear ready to erupt at any moment.

Just when Jiang Ye thought he was about to make a move.

A secret voice transmission silently entered Jiang Ye's ears.

"Ye Jiang, how about we join forces?"

"Kill Bing Li first," Mo Tianlun said in a low voice. "Otherwise, if we fight each other, she will only benefit for nothing."

"As long as you kill her, we'll split the Beast God Crystal equally. I will never go back on my word!"

"Otherwise, neither of us will have an easy time," Mo Tianlun said enticingly.

Jiang Ye's eyes flickered slightly as he quickly made a mental calculation.

He never expected that at this critical juncture, Mo Tianlun would take the initiative to propose a joint effort.
Jiang Ye naturally couldn't believe the other party.

Not to mention that the Cangxu civilization has no trust whatsoever, Jiang Ye would never join forces with them given the many grudges that have occurred in the past.

However, what Mo Tianlun said was not without reason.

Bing Li is indeed a huge threat.

Just then.

Bing Li suddenly landed slowly, the cold aura around her gradually subsided, and with a flick of her white robes, she withdrew from the battle.

"Ye Jiang".

"The Beast God Crystal will be obtained by the destined one." Bing Li said calmly, "Since you have already obtained it, I will no longer compete for it."

The words were spoken.

The entire audience was stunned; everyone was speechless.

Even their breathing stopped for a moment.

"Bing Li?"

"You!" Mo Tianlun's face instantly turned ashen, his expression grim.

Not long ago, Bingli personally told him that he was not worthy of competing for this item.

Now, however, they have easily given away their most precious treasure to Ye Jiang.

This stark contrast prompted him to let out a cold snort, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes.

However, Mo Tianlun was also a prominent figure, and he quickly calmed down.

"Since Fellow Daoist Bingli has said so..."

"Then let's entrust this Beast God Crystal to Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang for safekeeping." Mo Tianlun turned to look at Jiang Ye, a cold glint flashing in his calm eyes: "I hope you can live to the end. We'll meet again."

The words fell.

Mo Tianlun unleashed a burst of demonic energy, then turned and vanished into thin air.

They moved so fast, as if they didn't want to stay a moment longer.

Jiang Ye watched his departing figure with indifferent eyes and no emotion in his heart.

Until next time?

The next time we meet, you'll be the one who dies.

"This place is not safe to stay for long," Jiang Ye thought to himself. He had already obtained the greatest treasure in this place.

Staying here will only cause more trouble.

"Red Light, let's go."

Jiang Ye transmitted a message.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a black shadow and plunged into the depths of the ancient battlefield.

Chi Guang quickly followed, and the two disappeared without a trace.

……

the other side.

Bing Li was dressed in white, her pure white feet treading on the void, her expression calm, as if nothing had just happened.

A pretty young girl flew to her side, her face full of resentment.

"Your Highness, why did you give it to him?"

"That's a Beast God Crystal, a treasure countless times more precious than a Beast Spirit Crystal," the pretty young girl couldn't help but say. "We're just handing it over to someone else like that."

"The Beast God Crystal is indeed a priceless treasure."

“However, it’s not worth me revealing my trump card.” Bing Li said calmly, “Besides, even if Ye Jiang refines a Beast God Crystal, he is still far from being my match.”

"But..." the pretty young girl wanted to say more.

"Ye Jiang and I belong to the same camp as Cai Kun." Bing Li said coldly, "It's much better for the item to fall into his hands than into the hands of Mo Tianlun's Tian Dou camp."

"not to mention."

“If I’m not mistaken, Mo Tianlun must have secretly contacted him just now, wanting to join forces to deal with me.” Bing Li shook her head and said, “Although Ye Jiang’s restraint technique just now was very ordinary, it is still a troublesome thing.”

"If a real fight breaks out, I might reveal some of my trump cards."

"The competition is not yet in its final stages. There's no need to fight to the death here and risk losing more than you gain," Bing Li said calmly, demonstrating her clear understanding of the situation.

The pretty young girl suddenly realized and couldn't help but admire, "Your Highness is so thoughtful. I was just being too naive."

Bingli nodded slightly and said no more.

She raised her eyes and gazed deeper into the ancient battlefield, her gaze profound.

The real show is yet to come.

Ye Jiang and Mo Tianlun alone are not enough to warrant her using her real methods.
