Chapter 490: A Desperate Counterattack
“How dare you?!”
“Suppress him!” Zhou Xingkong roared in fury, a flicker of panic in his eyes. He hastily raised his hand, attempting to crush Jiang Ye with overwhelming force.
How could Jiang Ye possibly shatter his techniques within his own inner world?
It was utterly inconceivable.
It was as if a monkey, trapped beneath the Five Finger Mountain, had casually flipped its hand and reduced the mountain to dust.
How could such a thing be possible?!
“Suppress him!” The Ten-Thousand-Zhang Dharma Manifestation roared like a divinity, its colossal hand descending upon Jiang Ye with earth-shattering force.
Simultaneously, countless mysteries of gold converged, causing the hand to erupt with ten thousand zhang of golden radiance, radiating overwhelming divine might.
Empowered by the inner world, the palm’s destructive power was unparalleled!
“Break!” Jiang Ye merely flicked his spear casually.
Whoosh!
Endless spear radiance tore through the heavens and earth, instantly ripping apart the colossal palm before cleaving through the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Dharma Manifestation with unstoppable force.
The Ash Law erupted!
Boom! The long spear descended with lightning speed, cleaving straight through the dharma manifestation’s head.
The towering, seemingly indestructible dharma manifestation shattered like paper under the spear’s force.
Viewed from behind, a terrifying fissure split the Ten-Thousand-Zhang Dharma Manifestation from head to toe, bisecting its entire body.
A moment later—
Bang!
The fissure spread like a spiderweb, and the dharma manifestation exploded!
As the dharma manifestation shattered, the inner world tore apart, flooding with light.
In the tournament arena:
“Is that… Zhou Xingkong’s Innate Domain?”
“The pressure is immense.”
“Jiang Ye is completely suppressed.” Wang Feifan, Li Zihuang, and the others watched the battlefield intently.
Though Jiang Ye’s vision was pitch-black, the outside world remained unaffected.
They could clearly see Jiang Ye being completely overwhelmed by Zhou Xingkong, struggling to retaliate.
“Jiang Ye is doomed,” everyone thought.
“Jiang Ye…” Chen Zilu clenched her fists, her peach-blossom eyes filled with worry.
Despite her unwavering faith in Jiang Ye, the worsening situation shook her resolve.
Huff. Silently, a long spear materialized in Chen Zilu’s hand. If Jiang Ye truly faltered, she would intervene without hesitation!
Just when everyone believed Jiang Ye was about to fall…
Whoosh!
A dazzling spear radiance flashed across the space, piercing through it like a brilliant meteor. Zhou Xingkong’s aura instantly withered.
The crowd gasped in shock.
Jiang Ye had turned the tables in an instant, shattering Zhou Xingkong’s Innate Domain and unleashing an overwhelming aura!
In truth, Jiang Ye’s comprehension of the Ash Law, though seemingly protracted, had occurred in a mere instant.
Like many complex problems, enlightenment often strikes in a flash of insight.
Understanding the Dao of Heaven and Earth follows the same principle.
Whoosh! Without hesitation, Jiang Ye thrust his spear forward the moment he breached the inner world.
At the peak seventh breakthrough level, combat unfolds with unimaginable speed.
In less than a tenth of a second, the spear reached Zhou Xingkong’s throat.
“You won’t get away with this!”
“Block it!!” Zhou Xingkong’s face twisted in terror as he sensed the imminent threat of death. He frantically activated the mysteries of gold.
Whoosh!
Vast quantities of the mysteries of gold converged, forming an impenetrable golden shield that completely enveloped him, radiating an aura of immense weight and solidity.
Absolutely unbreakable! Indestructible!
Pfft!
But beneath the spear’s strike, the seemingly impregnable golden shield instantly crumbled into ash. The long spear, unstoppable as the spear of death, plunged downward.
Ash Law!
Before the Ash Law, even the mysteries of gold were merely low-rank, utterly vulnerable.
At that very moment…
Buzz!
Another invisible wave erupted, creating an intangible barrier between Jiang Ye’s spear and Zhou Xingkong.
The spear paused for a split second.
But only for a split second.
Boom! In the next instant, the spear shattered the barrier and continued its descent toward Zhou Xingkong.
Fortunately, that brief pause gave Zhou Xingkong just enough time to react. His figure flickered, and within a tenth of a second, he managed to evade the vital points.
Pfft!
The spear pierced through!
Bang! A massive surge of Ash Law erupted, instantly obliterating Zhou Xingkong’s lower body.
“I yield!!!”
Only then did he shout at the top of his lungs, his eyes filled with boundless terror.
Whoosh~
The instant Zhou Xingkong yielded, an invisible force surged, teleporting him away.
Zhou Xingkong, eliminated!
“Chu Jingye!” Jiang Ye landed slowly, his long spear in hand, his gaze sweeping toward a distant figure.
Just now.
The barrier he had sensed had originated from Chu Jingye.
If not for Chu Jingye’s intervention, that spear strike would have annihilated Zhou Xingkong on the spot, leaving him no chance to yield.
Jiang Ye had wanted to eradicate Zhou Xingkong completely.
But who could have imagined that this battle would be interfered with?
“Chu Jingye,” Jiang Ye said coldly, “why did you interfere?”
“Zhou Xingkong asked me for help, requesting I save his life at a critical moment,” Chu Jingye replied calmly. “I take people’s money and resolve their troubles.”
“Free combat means no interference from others,” Jiang Ye said, his eyes fixed on Chu Jingye. “You openly defied the rules. Will there be no consequences?”
“Consequences?”
Chu Jingye suddenly smiled, his voice dripping with malice. “Feel free to try. See if anyone else is willing to join forces with you against me.”
Jiang Ye frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the other transcendent prodigies.
Wang Feifan, Li Zihuang, and the rest stared back at him with inscrutable expressions, as if they were looking at a monster.
And for good reason.
The methods Jiang Ye had just displayed had completely shaken these transcendent prodigies to their core.
If the transcendent prodigies were merely shaken, the billions of viewers watching from outside the arena were in a frenzy.
“He won?”
“Jiang Ye won!”
“That spear strike? Too cool! It tore right through Zhou Xingkong!”
“A desperate comeback! Absolutely epic!”
“I never thought Jiang Ye would actually win,” countless viewers exclaimed.
If this battle could be described in a single word, it would be: exhilarating!
Previously, Chen Zilu had also defeated a transcendent, but that opponent was only at the fourth breakthrough realm, far below Chen Zilu’s initial realm.
Zhou Xingkong was different.
Zhou Xingkong’s initial realm was actually higher than Jiang Ye’s!
This was precisely why so many people had doubted Jiang Ye’s chances.
“I’m done! I’ve lost a fortune this time!”
“Ten million! A whole ten million! Zhou Xingkong, I’ll never forgive you!”
“Ten million is nothing! What about that guy who bet a hundred million earlier? Why isn’t he saying anything now?”
“Yeah! Weren’t you always bashing Jiang Ye? Come out and speak up!”
“Heh, you fools. I may have been criticizing Jiang Ye, but I actually bet that hundred million on him. Surprised?”
“What?!”
“Damn you, you bastard! I bet on Zhou Xingkong because of you, and now you’re telling me you bet on Jiang Ye?”
“Alright, alright, so that’s how you want to play? Where do you live? I’ll send you some local specialties.”
“…”
With over thirty billion viewers buzzing with excitement, the livestream’s popularity continued to skyrocket.
Thirty-three billion!
Thirty-four billion!
Thirty-five billion!
This All-Stars Tournament had clearly reached a level worthy of being recorded in history.
Above the circular platform:
“That spear just now?”
“Did I see that right?”
“Is that a combination of the mysteries of fire and earth?”
“How is that even possible?!” The Zhou Family Demigod, Li Family Demigod, Demigod of the Chu Clan, and numerous other demigods stared at the projection screen in utter shock and disbelief.
