"Zhou Biao, ranked 26th, was defeated by Jiang Ye with a single spear strike!"
"Oh my god!"
"Jiang Ye's strength...?"
"Absolutely savage!" Countless viewers outside the arena erupted in excitement.
Over ten billion spectators were stunned by the battle footage.
Jiang Ye, ranked 65th, had faced Zhou Biao, ranked 26th.
Everyone had expected a grueling, protracted battle.
Yet it was another instant kill!
"Damn it! I bet a million on Zhou Biao, and now it's all gone!"
"Next round, I'm definitely winning it back!"
Above the circular platform:
"A thousand-meter-tall Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation? This...!"
"Has Jiang Ye's law comprehension already reached the peak of the seventh breakthrough?"
"No, wait! His mysteries of fire clearly haven't reached that level yet."
"How is this possible?" The demigods erupted in a clamor.
These demigods possessed unparalleled insight.
They could immediately discern that Jiang Ye's displayed mysteries of fire hadn't reached the peak of the seventh breakthrough.
But if he hadn't reached that level, how could he manifest a thousand-meter Dharma Manifestation?
It must be understood that only those who have reached the peak of the seventh breakthrough can manifest the Thousand-Meter Dharma Manifestation!
The demigods were puzzled.
"Could it be?" Alliance Leader Qi Tian's eyes flashed with insight as a thought struck him.
Yet even he found such a possibility inconceivable.
"Peak seventh breakthrough?" Zhou Huaifeng, the Zhou Family Demigod, stared expressionlessly at the projection.
Suddenly, Zhou Huaifeng frowned and exclaimed, "That brat! What is he doing?"
On the projection screen, Jiang Ye thrust his spear forward, unleashing a torrent of stellar energy that erupted with terrifying power, cleaving through the vast expanse of heaven and earth.
The spear pierced directly through Zhou Biao, who was trapped in the crater.
A deafening roar echoed as a massive cloud of blood mist exploded outward.
In the next instant, the Zhou Family Demigod's face twisted into a grimace. "Zhou Biao is dead."
As a Zhou Family Demigod, he could sense the life signs of his clansmen through their life flames.
Just moments ago, he had felt Zhou Biao's life flame extinguish!
Seeing this, the other demigods fell silent, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief.
They had never imagined Jiang Ye would actually kill Zhou Biao.
"This is outrageous!"
"Zhou Biao was already incapacitated. Why did he still attack him?" the Zhou Family Demigod said, suppressing his anger. "Such cruelty from someone so young!"
Zhou Biao was a powerful member of the Zhou Family.
Unfortunately, even as a demigod, Zhou Huaifeng couldn't interfere within the civilization ruins, nor could he stop Jiang Ye from killing.
"Treating a fellow countryman like this is excessive," the Demigod of the Chu Clan agreed, nodding.
"Life and death are unpredictable," Alliance Leader Qi Tian said calmly. "This is Jiang Ye's first kill. There must be a reason. If you have questions, ask him when he emerges."
The Zhou Family Demigod snorted coldly.
The alliance leader's words clearly favored Jiang Ye.
However, the Zhou Family Demigod couldn't argue.
As a demigod, he couldn't fail to sense Zhou Biao's killing intent. Since Zhou Biao had harbored murderous thoughts first, Jiang Ye's ruthless response was understandable.
"Jiang Ye..."
"Even Zhou Kun might not be able to defeat this boy," the Zhou Family Demigod thought to himself. "Our only hope lies with Xingkong now."
Zhou Xingkong was the Zhou Family's sole transcendent of this generation.
The Zhou Family Demigod had always placed his greatest hopes on Jiang Ye.
Within the inner perimeter of the civilization ruins, Jiang Ye had just killed Zhou Biao with a single spear strike.
Swish! A massive surge of civilization fire erupted from Zhou Biao's corpse and flew toward Jiang Ye.
Without hesitation, Jiang Ye absorbed all the civilization fire into his body.
Boom!
Instantly, an overwhelmingly powerful aura erupted from Jiang Ye's body.
By now, Jiang Ye had absorbed over four hundred strands of civilization fire.
This quantity of civilization fire had made his seventh breakthrough foundation incredibly stable, even surpassing some true seventh breakthrough experts!
Moreover,
Buzz! A dazzling light erupted as Jiang Ye stepped into the air, hovering like a Proud Sun suspended in the sky, radiating unparalleled brilliance.
"The mysteries of heaven and earth have become clearer," Jiang Ye murmured, his eyes gleaming as he surveyed his surroundings.
The massive influx of civilization fire had sharpened his perception of the mysteries of heaven and earth beyond anything he had experienced before.
If Jiang Ye were to attempt to comprehend the mysteries of fire now, his progress would likely accelerate significantly.
At that moment, Song Xuan whispered urgently, "Brother! Hurry up and thank Jiang Ye! He saved your lives!"
"Right, right!" Song Gang nodded hastily, snapping out of his shock.
"Brother Jiang Ye, thank you so much for your help this time," Song Gang said, rushing forward, his eyes still wide with awe.
This battle had completely shattered his previous impression of Jiang Ye.
In the past, Song Gang, relying on his peak sixth-tier cultivation, had always treated Jiang Ye as a junior.
But now?
Facing Jiang Ye, he almost wanted to address himself as the 'junior.'
"Are you all alright?" Jiang Ye asked with a faint smile.
"We're fine," Song Gang replied, shaking his head. "But if it weren't for you, brother, we would have been eliminated long ago."
"I, Song Gang, will remember this day."
"I will repay you in the future!" Song Gang declared solemnly.
Jiang Ye smiled slightly but didn't refuse.
The promise of a peak sixth-tier powerhouse carried considerable weight.
Just then, Song Xuan exclaimed excitedly, "Jiang Ye! Quick, look at the rankings! You've broken into the top ten!"
"Top ten?" Jiang Ye murmured, immediately activating the ranking projection.
1: Zhou Kun, 655 civilization fires
2: Chu Yu, 590 civilization fires
3: Li Shiyue, 569 civilization fires
4: Qi Guibei, 520 civilization fires
10: Jiang Ye, 405 civilization fires
"I actually made it into the top ten," Jiang Ye noted, his expression shifting slightly. "But the top contenders are also surging ahead."
This indicated that intense battles were erupting elsewhere.
However, the inner perimeter was vast, and Jiang Ye hadn't yet sensed any combat vibrations from other groups.
"Let's move out," Jiang Ye said. "Time to meet the others."
"Agreed," Song Xuan, Song Gang, Li Chao, and the others nodded in unison.
They had clearly coalesced around Jiang Ye as their leader.
As for Jiang Ye, his immediate goal was to get them into the top hundred. If the civilization ruins truly served as a trial field, reaching the top hundred would undoubtedly yield significant advantages.
Without hesitation, Jiang Ye led Song Gang and the others skyward, soaring deeper into the ruins.
Within the inner perimeter of the civilization ruins, amidst a snow-covered mountain valley...
"Jiang Ye killed Zhou Biao?" The white-robed man stood atop the mountain peak, his aura as sharp as a celestial sword, piercing through heaven and earth.
He was Zhou Kun, the number one ranked powerhouse.
"Zhou Biao sent me a message before he died."
"Jiang Ye possesses a law comprehension of the mysteries of fire comparable to the peak seventh breakthrough?" Zhou Kun narrowed his eyes. "To have such profound understanding at only the fifth breakthrough realm?"
What kind of monstrous talent is this?!
"Jiang Ye has become the Chen Clan's Chief."
"This could complicate the Zhou Family's future plans," Zhou Kun mused. "But this youth is ruthless. If I reveal hostility and fail to kill him, he will undoubtedly harbor resentment."
The situation had changed.
He no longer saw Jiang Ye as a mere clown, but as a formidable opponent.
"Fortunately, Jiang Ye specializes in the dao of fire."
"And I am his perfect counter," Zhou Kun smirked.
His mastery lay in the dao of water!
The laws of the universe dictated that water countered fire—an immutable principle since ancient times.
Thus, at the same level, practitioners of the dao of fire are often suppressed by those of the dao of water.
Jiang Ye, I've got you right where I want you, Zhou Kun thought to himself.
