"Exploiting the seventh breakthrough?" A faint smile played on Jiang Ye's lips. "I'm afraid my understanding of the seventh breakthrough far surpasses yours!"
Back then, Patriarch Chen Jiuxuan of the Chen Clan had gifted Jiang Ye cultivation essence containing profound insights into higher realms.
Could the cultivation insights of a demigod-level expert accumulated over five hundred years possibly be compared to those of a mere peak sixth-tier cultivator?
Thanks to this, Jiang Ye, though unable to manifest the Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, possessed an understanding of the seventh breakthrough realm that rivaled Yan Ya's, and perhaps even surpassed it.
"What are you all standing around for?" Yan Ya roared. "Come help me now!"
Hearing this, the remaining four black-clad experts swiftly reacted.
"Attack together!"
"Surround him!" The black-clad experts charged toward Jiang Ye, each unleashing their unique techniques and erupting with overwhelming aura.
Streams of awe-inspiring flowing light erupted, hurtling toward Jiang Ye like meteors.
At that moment, Song Xuan swiftly joined the battle.
"Jiang Ye, if I'd known you were this strong, what was I even afraid of?" Song Xuan gazed at Jiang Ye, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
She had no time for hesitation.
Song Xuan quickly entered the fray, joining forces with Jiang Ye to confront Yan Ya and the five black-clad experts.
The Great Stellar War had erupted!
Outside on the circular platform, in the spectator stands:
"Look! Jiang Ye is fighting the others!"
"This is bad! Jiang Ye is being ambushed by five opponents!"
"Wait, what? Jiang Ye is holding his own against five enemies? Are those five just weaklings?"
"Impossible! I recognize Yan Ya—he's a peak sixth-tier powerhouse!"
"What? Peak sixth-tier?!"
"How is Jiang Ye managing this?" The audience erupted in uproar.
After the earlier hype, Jiang Ye had already become the center of attention.
Naturally, his first battle in the Great Stellar War drew countless eyes.
But the power Jiang Ye unleashed left everyone stunned.
"Good."
"That kid Jiang Ye really didn't disappoint me." In a corner of the audience stands, Qiu Cang smiled.
He had great faith in Jiang Ye.
However, this year's Great Stellar War had unified the combatants' realms to the seventh breakthrough. Under these circumstances, even Qiu Cang couldn't guarantee Jiang Ye would win his first match.
Now it seemed those worries were unfounded.
Above the circular platform, in the boundless void, chaos qi swirled.
Several figures stood suspended in mid-air, each radiating an enigmatic aura as they gazed down at the projection below.
These were the demigods who stood at the pinnacle of Blue Star.
"Unexpected," Alliance Leader Qi Tian murmured, his voice tinged with awe. "Jiang Ye's understanding of the seventh breakthrough realm far surpasses even Yan Ya's."
As a demigod, his perception far exceeded that of the spectators below. Qi Tian immediately recognized the astonishing depth of Jiang Ye's comprehension of the seventh breakthrough realm.
While the civilization ruins forcibly elevated one's realm to the seventh breakthrough, the degree of mastery varied greatly.
A true seventh breakthrough realm expert could fully harness the power of the five viscera and celestial phenomena, thereby manifesting the dharma manifestation and wielding the power to destroy cities and shatter stars.
But what about fifth or sixth breakthrough realm practitioners?
Having not fully mastered the power of the five viscera and celestial phenomena, even when granted the seventh breakthrough realm, they struggled to unleash its true potential.
This was precisely why Yan Ya had been so confident earlier.
Yet Jiang Ye's demonstrated power defied all expectations.
"Jiang Ye is only at the fifth breakthrough realm," the Li Family Demigod remarked, her voice tinged with confusion. "Logically, he shouldn't be able to exhibit such combat power."
"Indeed," the other demigods echoed, their voices filled with bewilderment. "How can his mastery of the seventh breakthrough realm be so profound?"
"Could it be because of Old Chen?" Qi Tian's eyes flashed, immediately grasping the key.
The cultivation essence of a demigod!
It could grant someone profound insights into higher realms in a short period.
But cultivation essence?
This was an extremely painstaking process, akin to soul-searching oneself, and would inevitably leave lasting consequences.
"How brutal."
"If Old Chen gave his cultivation essence to Jiang Ye, it might not be a good thing," Qi Tian frowned slightly. "Jiang Ye would end up living in Old Chen's shadow for the rest of his life."
A genius like Jiang Ye shouldn't follow the same path as Chen Jiuxuan.
He needed to forge his own path.
Completely adhering to another's cultivation path would inevitably limit his potential.
"Alliance Leader."
"Yan Ya and the others have begun unleashing their domains," the Li Family Demigod warned. "The battle is nearing its end."
"Domains?" Qi Tian refocused his attention, turning back to the projection.
As the Li Family Demigod had said, unleashing their domains meant revealing their final trump cards.
The battle was indeed drawing to a close.
Within the civilization ruins, the battle had reached its climax.
"Damn it."
"This guy's strength is far more complex than it appears," Yan Ya thought, his frustration mounting. "If we were both at the initial realm, he'd be no match for me. But now that we're both at the unified realm, I can't seem to take him down."
He was a peak sixth-tier expert, a formidable figure in his own right.
Under normal circumstances, he could crush a fifth breakthrough junior like Jiang Ye with a mere flick of his finger.
But now? Utterly impossible.
"Unleash it!"
"Ink River Domain!" Yan Ya roared inwardly.
Instantly, the world plunged into darkness. A murky green celestial river materialized, engulfing mountains, seas, and the entire world.
A single domain!
Yet it extinguished sunlight and dimmed the stars.
This was the Heaven-Earth Domain of the seventh breakthrough realm! No longer referred to by innate aptitude, it now bore the title of 'Heaven-Earth'.
Transcendent domains were, in essence, a type of Heaven-Earth Domain.
However, Heavenly Prides with Transcendent Aptitudes could manifest them at lower realms, creating a devastating dimensional advantage.
Though Yan Ya possessed only a Dao Bone Aptitude, the power of his domain, amplified by his seventh breakthrough realm, was not to be underestimated.
Simultaneously...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The other four black-clad experts unleashed their own domains.
The overlapping domains cracked the void itself, unleashing terrifying storms that howled with apocalyptic fury.
"This is bad."
"Jiang Ye! What do we do?" Song Xuan's face paled as she turned to Jiang Ye, her voice trembling. The sheer power of the combined domains sent shivers down her spine.
"It ends here," Yan Ya declared, his eyes glacial as he stood atop the Ink River Domain. Gripping his long blade, he radiated an aura of world-shattering destruction as he charged toward Jiang Ye.
Simultaneously, the other four black-clad experts launched their attacks on Jiang Ye and Song Xuan.
In that critical moment, a calm voice echoed through the chaos:
"It's time to end this."
Boom! Boom!
A boundless blood sea erupted, and the Holy Mountain descended!
Battle Soul Domain - Third Tier: Berserk - All attributes increased by 200%. Creates the Blood Sea Domain, reducing all enemy attributes by up to 50%.
Martial Saint Domain: Creates the Saint Domain. The Holy Mountain descends, forming a spatial lockdown that suppresses all enemies within the domain while slightly enhancing the power of all the user's cultivation techniques. Lasts until the end of combat. Cooldown: 24 hours.
Double suppression!
In an instant, the combined domain suppression from Yan Ya and the other four experts was reduced by more than half.
Simultaneously, Jiang Ye's aura surged, no longer concealing any of his power.
Beauty's Inquiry, Tilting at Windmills, Po Jun, Great Accumulation, Sudden Breakthrough, Ancestor of the Spear Dao
"Kill!" Jiang Ye roared, charging directly at Yan Ya, the strongest among them.
Whoosh!
