Chapter 497 Harvest! If Heaven Destines You, You Have No Choice But to Die (5K Views, Requesting Monthly Tickets!!)
"Hong Hao underestimated his enemy. He didn't have anything to save his life until his death."

"With Hong Hao's strength, as long as he gives up the match in time, he can protect himself."

"Ye Jiang's shot was terrifying." The powerful figures near the wasteland trembled with fear.

They all realized it.

The young man from the Huanglong civilization before us possesses terrifying strength comparable to that of someone ranked in the top ten.

The deathly silence lasted only a moment.

The next second, Yu Xian and Hei Qing felt their hair stand on end, and a chilling sense of death shot from their feet to the top of their heads.

"escape!"

Yu Xian's figure was like a ghost, her pale yellow dress leaving a trail of afterimages in the void, her demigod power running at its peak.

"One shot kills Hong Hao."

"I was actually mocking such a person just now, really..." Her eyes were filled with fear as she ran for her life.

Hei Qing was even more exaggerated. He shouldered the black metal rod in his hand, and his burly body shattered the void. Every step he took made the heavens and earth tremble slightly. His speed was extremely fast, and his aura was chaotic. He had completely panicked.

The two didn't dare to look at Hong Hao's belongings for long, only wanting to escape this place of trouble as soon as possible.

As for the other strong individuals...

They dared not harbor any further covetous thoughts and scattered in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling wasteland was now only occupied by Jiang Ye, Chi Guang, and Wang Zihuang, along with the pervasive stench of blood and violence in the air.

"hehe."

"They escaped pretty quickly." Jiang Ye said indifferently, not chasing after the deserters.

He walked to the place where Hong Hao had fallen and collected his belongings.

It was a black ring, shimmering with a faint divine light, exuding a rich and pure aura.

"A storage ring?" Jiang Ye's mind stirred, and he probed into it with his divine sense.

Inside the storage ring, there was a space with a radius of ten miles.

The space contained numerous precious medicines and pills, as well as a fiery red spear.

"This is?"

"A divine weapon?" Jiang Ye's gaze sharpened as he sensed an endless, magnificent aura emanating from the fiery red spear.

It actually contains a trace of divine power!
However, these kinds of weapons are difficult for demigods to control, which is why Hong Hao put them in his storage space.

"Fellow Daoist Ye Jiang."

"I didn't expect you to be here." Chi Guang stepped forward, his eyes filled with surprise.

Although I've been following Jiang Ye for a while now.

But the combat power that Jiang Ye just displayed was completely beyond her imagination.

"Junior brother."

"It seems I underestimated you." Prince Huang's expression was extremely complex, a mixture of shock and admiration.

The battle just now.

This made him realize that his junior brother's strength had completely surpassed his own, and might even be a notch above Bai Cantian!
After all, it would probably take Bai Cantian several moves to kill Hong Hao, while Jiang Ye only needed one.

"How exactly does this guy cultivate?" Prince Huang's eyes were filled with confusion.

He could easily crush Jiang Ye in their last battle.

Jiang Ye didn't care about what the two thought.

He accepted the storage ring and then looked toward the center of the wasteland.

"roar~"

The forbidden creature there was finally alarmed. It slowly stood up, its massive body obscuring the dark sky and radiating a chillingly fierce aura.

It was a giant tiger, its body as black as ink, its fur standing on end like steel needles, gleaming with a cold metallic luster. In the very center of its forehead was a blood-red vertical pupil. Wherever its pupil swept, the void seemed to be torn apart, exuding a fierce and domineering aura.

"Roar--!"

The giant tiger with vertical pupils let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and its ferocious aura swept in all directions, causing countless cracks to spread across the already cracked ground.

"What terrifying power."

"Ye Jiang, us?" Prince Huang and Chi Guang looked at Jiang Ye at the same time.

"Don't panic," Jiang Ye said calmly. "I'll handle it."

[Taboo] Living beings, though infinitely close to the perfection of demigods, are ultimately not yet at the perfection of demigods.

These creatures are far less resourceful than human prodigies, relying primarily on their innate supernatural abilities without the aid of complex cultivation techniques.

Therefore, their combat strength is only equivalent to the top ten strongest in the Hundred Star God Battle.

"Whoosh~" Jiang Ye's figure blurred, and he rushed forward at high speed.

"court death!"

The giant tiger with vertical pupils roared and slammed its paw towards Jiang Ye.

"Tear!" The claws, wreathed in forbidden black energy, tore open huge gaps in the void wherever they went.

The terrifying aura emanating from the crevice was enough to kill even a demigod at the pinnacle of power.

Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed, and instead of retreating, he advanced, unleashing the power of the galaxy around him. Thousands of starlight beams pierced through his body and swirled around him.

"Whoosh!" He gripped the black spear tightly, the laws of spear fighting perfectly merging with the Star River Divine Body, and his aura instantly soared to its peak.

[Imperial Domain - Tier 3]

[Township Territory - Tier 3]

Unleash your full power!

The overwhelming pressure instantly enveloped the giant tiger, suppressing its speed by more than 50%.

"Damn it."

"Roar!" A hint of surprise and anger flashed in the eyes of the vertical-pupiled giant tiger, but it was unable to break free from the suppression of the domain.

"Kill!" Jiang Ye shouted, sweeping his spear horizontally.

The spear's light, like a galaxy pouring down, carried the power to shatter everything, and collided fiercely with the giant tiger's claws.

Bang-!
A deafening explosion erupted, and the shockwave swept across the area like a tsunami.

A huge crater tens of thousands of miles in diameter was blasted into the wasteland, with smoke and dust billowing, rocks flying everywhere, and even the distant mountain peaks trembling slightly.

Jiang Ye felt a slight numbness in his arm, a slight turbulence in his blood and qi, and a stinging pain in his fingertips.

This giant tiger's power was indeed incredibly formidable, comparable to the full-force attack of one of the top ten geniuses, and far stronger than the previous forbidden creature.

But after the violent collision...

The giant tiger was also shaken and forced back several steps, leaving deep footprints on the ground with its massive body.

"Human beings."

"Is that all you've got?" the vertical-pupiled giant tiger roared. It possessed a complete intelligence and knew that it could not escape this calamity.

Boom! Boom!
A man and a tiger clashed fiercely, causing the void within a radius of 100,000 miles to explode continuously.

In the blink of an eye.

"Die!" The giant tiger suddenly opened its massive jaws and spewed out a thick, forbidden beam of black light.

Wherever the beam of light passed, everything was annihilated, even the air was corroded, and the laws of nature were disrupted, as it hurtled towards Jiang Ye.

Its power was even more terrifying than the previous claw strike.

"Innate divine power?" Jiang Ye's expression hardened. He knew that this was a talent that beasts were born with, far stronger than ordinary divine powers.

"break."

Jiang Ye wielded his spear, and sharp spear beams intertwined to form a vast network of starlight. The power of the starlight flowed, containing immense laws, and forcefully blocked the forbidden pillar of light.

Click!

The Starry Sky Web trembled violently, cracks appeared, and it seemed as if it would shatter at any moment.

Jiang Ye was forced to retreat by the impact of the beam of light, and with each step he took, the heavens and earth trembled.

Chi Guang watched from afar, his heart pounding with fear. He clenched his fists tightly, wanting to rush forward and help.

But she found that she couldn't get involved at all—this level of combat was beyond her reach, and even if she tried her best, she could only become a burden to Jiang Ye.

"Junior brother."

"Can we take it down?" Prince Huang also kept a close eye on the battlefield. He did not rush to help, partly because Jiang Ye had said he would handle it alone.

Secondly, if he lends a hand, the spoils of war will be difficult to divide afterward.

On the battlefield.

Although Jiang Ye appeared somewhat passive, he maintained control of the battle.

Every move he made was incredibly powerful, and he mastered the principles of spear fighting to perfection.

"A forbidden being at its peak."

"As expected, he's troublesome." Jiang Ye thought to himself, "Fortunately, my Star River Divine Body has an almost inexhaustible supply of demigod power."

He's waiting!
Wait for this giant tiger with vertical pupils to reveal a weakness, then deliver the fatal blow.

"Roar!!"

"Human, you will not succeed." Seeing that it could not subdue Jiang Ye for a long time, the giant tiger gradually became more violent, and the forbidden aura around its body surged again.

It pushed off the ground with all four limbs, its body transforming into a huge black shadow, and its terrifying pressure completely enveloped Jiang Ye.

Claw strikes, bites, and forbidden beams of light—each move is deadly, and every attack can cause the heavens and earth to change color.

The entire wasteland was teetering on the brink of collapse under its attack.

Jiang Ye responded calmly, his steps quick and agile as a ghost, dodging every fierce attack of the giant tiger with his incredible speed.

At the same time, seize any openings and launch continuous counterattacks.

The spear thrust out with unparalleled precision, each strike hitting the giant tiger's vital points.

However, its tough fur and scales blocked the view, leaving only shallow wounds from which black blood seeped out, emitting a pungent, fishy smell.

suddenly.

After a collision, Jiang Ye deliberately created an opening, and his body was struck by the giant tiger's palm, causing his aura to instantly weaken.

"A good opportunity." The giant tiger with vertical pupils lit up its eyes, roared, and slammed down on Jiang Ye.

“We’ve been tricked.” Jiang Ye’s eyes were icy as he stared intently ahead.

Just as the giant tiger with vertical pupils pounced, Jiang Ye's aura suddenly surged, and he abruptly turned to the side.

Simultaneously.

All the power of the galaxy around him was poured into the tip of the spear, which emitted a sharp white light and pierced towards the blood-red vertical pupil on the giant tiger's forehead.

Jiang Ye had already realized that this was its greatest weakness.

"roar?!"

The giant tiger sensed something was wrong, roared, and tried to dodge.

But it was too late.

Despite its quick reaction to Jiang Ye's sudden burst of speed, it was still a beat too slow. "Whoosh!"

The spear's edge pierced the air, precisely striking the giant tiger's blood-red vertical pupil and penetrating deep into its skull.

With a spurt, black blood gushed out instantly, splashing onto the ground and corroding small pits.

"Roar--!!!"

The giant tiger let out a shrill howl, its voice filled with pain, and its whole body convulsed violently.

Its aura instantly became chaotic.

Jiang Ye gave it no chance to catch its breath, and with a flash, he arrived on the top of the giant tiger's head like a ghost.

He gripped the spear with both hands, pouring all the power of the galaxy and the laws of spearmanship into it, and thrust it down fiercely once more.

"Pfft!"

The spear passed through the giant tiger's head without any obstruction, emerging from its lower jaw and leaving a cloud of crimson blood mist.

The aura of the giant tiger with vertical pupils instantly weakened, and its blood-red vertical pupils gradually lost their luster.

Moments later, the massive body collapsed with a crash, filling the air with smoke and dust.

The entire wasteland fell silent, leaving only the stench and forbidden aura emanating from the giant tiger's corpse.

[Slay a forbidden creature, score +1000]

Points: 3005

Current ranking: 50th

-

"Forbidden creatures?"

“Approaching the pinnacle of demigod status?” Jiang Ye stood holding his gun. “It doesn’t seem invincible.”

Through this battle, he has fully confirmed his combat strength.

It's good enough to be in the top ten!

Of course, this is far from the end.

Jiang Ye looked at the Beast God Crystal that had emerged from the giant tiger's corpse, his eyes flashing.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist."

"Congratulations, Junior Brother." Chi Guang and Prince Huang stepped forward together, their faces full of admiration.

“Even a forbidden being comparable to a demigod at the peak of perfection is no match for my junior brother.” Prince Huang exclaimed, “Your strength is probably comparable to the top five.”

"It's just close." Jiang Ye shook his head, without any arrogance.

"Junior brother, put away the beast spirit crystal."

“You slew this forbidden creature, so the Beast God Crystal should belong to you,” Prince Huang said. “We will not covet it.”

Chi Guang nodded quickly.

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, without refusing, and with a flick of his palm, he put the crimson crystal into his pocket.

"Junior brother."

“Let’s part ways here,” Prince Huang said. “With your strength, you no longer need companions. I won’t bother you any longer.”

Jiang Ye nodded slightly.

He looked at Chi Guang and said, "Chi Guang, why don't you go with Senior Brother Wang?"

“Next, I will be going into seclusion to improve my skills,” Jiang Ye said. “You can look out for each other. If you encounter any problems that you can’t solve, then send me a message.”

Chi Guang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Alright, then I'll go with Senior Brother Wang."

She also knew that she was now a burden to Jiang Ye.

"Junior brother, your seclusion went well. See you in the finals," Prince Huang said with a smile.

"Goodbye." Chi Guang waved her hand, a hint of melancholy in her beautiful eyes.

The two turned and left, speeding towards the edge of the wasteland, their figures quickly disappearing into the distance.

……

Above the endless void.

"This Ye Jiang is indeed capable of being in the top ten."

"Having just killed Hong Hao and the Forbidden Giant Tiger, this level of strength is enough to put you in the first tier."

"It really is a dark horse."

"The Cai Kun Venerable's camp has gained another top-tier combatant." Yue'e, Tianmo, and many other Venerables were filled with admiration.

Apart from the Xuanbing Civilization, no other civilization has a second member in the top ten.

"The Tiandou Civilization is probably going to have an even bigger headache."

"With Hong Hao dead, the top twenty combatants of the Tiandou Civilization have lost another one." The Heavenly Demon Venerable laughed, "But on our side, we have gained someone who can rival the top ten geniuses."

The White Venerable looked down over the entire ancient battlefield, remaining noncommittal.

Jiang Ye's performance so far has not exceeded his expectations.

What he expected was Jiang Ye's potential to break into the top three and truly contend with the likes of Lei Hao and Bing Li, rather than merely possessing the combat strength of the top ten.

Venerable Hanxiao remained with his eyes closed, his aura as calm as the ancient, frigid sky.

"Top ten?"

"As long as they don't threaten Lei Hao, Bing Li, and Yan Lie, they will eventually have to make a quiet exit," Venerable Han Xiao thought to himself.

In His view, only the top three geniuses deserve His attention; the rest, no matter how strong, are just supporting characters.

……

Deep within the ancient battlefield.

After bidding farewell to Chiguang and the Prince and Queen, Jiang Ye began searching for a place to retreat into seclusion.

soon.

He then found a hidden cave deep in the wilderness.

The cave is located halfway up a towering mountain. The entrance is hidden by dense ancient trees and vines, making it extremely safe and secluded.

Jiang Ye entered the cave and casually set up a concealment formation and a defensive formation.

"Beast God Crystal." He sat down cross-legged.

Two crimson crystals slowly emerged; they were the two Beast God Crystals that Jiang Ye had obtained earlier.

They exuded a vast and pure aura, and even the slightest ripple caused Jiang Ye's physical body and divine sense to slowly improve.

"The points have already reached fiftieth place."

Jiang Ye glanced at the God Battle Rankings: "The ranking of the main body is not a concern for now."

"Next."

"It's time to get Dao Body into the top 10,000 as well," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

His goal has never been just to make it into the top three.

Instead, both his physical body and his Dao body entered the top three!

In this way, he will be able to receive two rewards after the Hundred Star God Battle ends.

This is an incredible opportunity that should not be missed.

However, how to make his appearance is a difficult problem.

“The entire ancient battlefield is probably under the surveillance of the Venerables.” Jiang Ye was aware of this.

His every move could not escape the eyes of the Venerables. If his Dao Body appeared out of thin air, it would surely arouse their suspicion.

It might even expose the secret that he possesses a Dao body.

The matter of the Dao Body is one of Jiang Ye's most important trump cards. Once exposed, it will inevitably bring many adverse effects.

It could even lead to death.

"fortunately."

"I have already made all the necessary preparations." Jiang Ye smiled slightly.

He had considered this as early as when he entered the ancient battlefield.

With the cover of the White Dragon Royal Court, he secretly deployed his Dao body outside the ancient battlefield amidst the chaos of entering.

Jiang Ye had full confidence in the White Dragon Royal Court.

Bai Gui once said that as long as the White Dragon Royal Court actively hides itself, no one, except for a true god-level expert, will be able to discover its existence.

This provided perfect cover for the appearance of the Dao Body.

As long as the Dao Body leaves the White Dragon Royal Court's stronghold and enters the ancient battlefield with a completely new identity, the suspicions of the Venerables can be perfectly avoided.

Successfully participate in the Hundred Star God Battle, accumulate points, and strive for a higher ranking.

Think about this.

Jiang Ye immediately closed his eyes and began to calmly refine the Beast God Crystal.

at the same time.

Outside the ancient battlefield, in a hidden void, a subtle ripple suddenly appeared.

This fluctuation was extremely strange; although it appeared in the universe, it did not attract the attention of any powerful beings.

Immediately afterwards, a handsome figure slowly emerged from the void.

It was Jiang Ye's Dao body.

After the [Origin Reforging], the life origin of the Dao Body has been completely reshaped into the origin of the Huanglong Civilization.

The aura emanating from its body also became completely different from its original form. Gone was the power of the galaxy from its original form; in its place was the aura unique to the Huanglong civilization.

"I am Lord Lantian."

"I'm back!" Jiang Ye smiled slightly; he had already transformed into the appearance of the Blue Sky Marquis.

"After many years."

"I wonder how the Venerable Ones will react when they see my presence?" Jiang Ye pondered for a moment, then stopped thinking about it.

He slowly scanned his surroundings, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, he walked towards the ancient battlefield, beginning his own path to becoming a Hundred Star God.

"call!"

A streak of light pierced the sky and landed directly on the ancient battlefield.

But at that moment, Jiang Ye's gaze paused and fell on the sky and earth not far away.

There, a familiar figure appeared, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, with an extremely cold and stern face.

"Mo Wushuang?" Jiang Ye looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, the first person Lan Tianhou encountered after his return was this mortal enemy.

"It is fate," Jiang Ye thought to himself.

As the saying goes, if Heaven wants you to die, you have no choice but to die!
The words that Mo Wushuang once said are now about to come true for him.
