Chapter 492: If You Really Want To Help Me, Just Stay Out Of It
After quickly reviewing the system achievement, Jiang Ye refocused his gaze forward.
“Your formation…”
“Is this your way of ganging up on me?” Jiang Ye asked Chu Jingye and the others, his expression remaining calm.
With his newfound trump cards, Jiang Ye could now meet these transcendent prodigies on equal footing, even looking down on them with a sense of superiority.
“It’s not quite like that,” Chu Jingye said with a faint smile. “We’re all fighting for the All-Stars Champion title. To claim victory, we must eliminate all obstacles.”
The other transcendent prodigies nodded in agreement.
“It can’t be helped,” Wang Feifan shrugged. “Jiang Ye, you’re just too strong. If we don’t team up to take you down, we’ll have no hope of winning.”
“With your Transcendent Aptitude, you don’t even have the courage for a one-on-one fight?” Chen Zilu gritted her teeth, unable to bear the sight any longer.
So many of them, ganging up on Jiang Ye.
Each one a top-tier genius in the world!
Six transcendent prodigies had formed a united encirclement. The sheer transcendent pressure they exerted would have crushed anyone with a Dao Bone Aptitude, forcing them to cower.
“Chen Zilu, you should understand,” Chu Jingye said calmly. “The All-Stars Champion title this year is crucial. We all came here for it, each with a chance to win.”
“But Jiang Ye… the methods he displayed earlier were far beyond the norm.”
“We had no choice but to join forces,” Chu Jingye sighed, shaking his head.
“Despicable!” Chen Zilu couldn’t help but retort, her silver teeth clenching tightly.
Hearing this, Jiang Ye grew curious and sent a telepathic message: “Senior Sister, do these Transcendent Aptitude holders really care so much about the All-Stars Champion title?”
The others were one thing.
But Chu Jingye had already won the title last year.
Having claimed victory once, why was he still so fixated on this year’s championship? Something seemed off.
“Mm,” Chen Zilu replied telepathically. “The All-Stars Champion this year will receive a massive boost of civilization fortune during the upcoming Civilization Strife Crossing.”
“Civilization Strife Crossing?” Jiang Ye’s mind cleared in an instant.
No wonder!
Compared to the Great Stellar War, the upcoming Civilization Strife Crossing was likely the most crucial event for Blue Star.
The Civilization Strife Crossing occurred only once every hundred years!
It determined whether Blue Star could ascend to a higher-tier civilization.
Success would bring immense benefits to the entire Blue Star Civilization, with all its powerhouses reaping tremendous rewards.
Will the All-Stars Champion receive a boost from civilization fortune? Jiang Ye wondered inwardly.
No wonder these Extraordinary Talent Prodigies placed such importance on winning this year’s championship.
After all, the civilization fortune gained during the Civilization Strife Crossing could truly enhance one’s strength.
For instance, the civilization fire from the Great Stellar War had allowed Jiang Ye to achieve the seventh breakthrough. Yet this civilization fire was merely an imitation of true civilization fortune. Obtaining the real thing would bring immeasurable benefits.
Crucially!
The civilization fortune acquired during the Civilization Strife Crossing was alive, possessing countless unimaginable divine abilities.
Words alone could scarcely describe its wonders.
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Jiang Ye looked up.
“Since that’s the case, further discussion is pointless.”
“Let’s fight,” Jiang Ye said calmly. “Come at me all at once if you want. I’m not afraid of any of you.”
“Very well,” Wang Feifan replied with a faint smile. “I’ll make my move once you’re ready.”
He was supremely confident, his pride unyielding. Even facing a coordinated assault, he was willing to give Jiang Ye time to prepare.
Chu Jingye turned to Li Zihuang, who stood nearby. “Which side are you on?”
“I’m not taking sides,” Li Zihuang said, blinking her beautiful eyes.
“You must choose a side,” Chu Jingye said coldly. He clearly wouldn’t allow Li Zihuang to remain neutral.
Watching from the sidelines like a mountain tiger? No such luck.
“Hmph,” Li Zihuang scoffed.
Her almond-shaped eyes flickered between Jiang Ye and Chu Jingye, as if hesitating.
After a moment, she sighed softly. “Jiang Ye, I’m sorry. This humble woman is alone and no match for you.”
She slowly walked toward Chu Jingye’s side.
Seeing this, Chen Zilu’s expression grew even more grave.
The seven top-tier transcendent prodigies had finally united.
Seven against two!
Even Chen Zilu couldn’t see any chance of victory in this situation.
But just then, a telepathic message echoed in their minds:
“Jiang Ye, when the battle begins, I’ll take out two of them. The rest is up to you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but glance at Li Zihuang in surprise.
Li Zihuang winked at him.
“No need,” Jiang Ye replied telepathically. “If you really want to help me, just stay out of it.”
Help? Jiang Ye didn’t need it. He wanted to test his true combat strength.
More importantly, he didn’t trust what Li Zihuang was up to. He had no good impression of the Li Clan.
“Alright,” Li Zihuang replied, unconcerned. “I won’t interfere.”
These telepathic exchanges happened in an instant.
By now, the atmosphere was as taut as a drawn bowstring, stretched to its breaking point.
“Attack!”
“Finish them!” Chu Jingye roared, unleashing his Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation first.
Rumble! A colossal Dharma Manifestation, towering 2,900 meters high, rose majestically, radiating an overwhelming aura that shook heaven and earth.
Two thousand meters marked the quasi-eighth breakthrough!
Three thousand meters signified true entry into the eighth breakthrough realm.
As the reigning champion of the Great Stellar War, Chu Jingye possessed unparalleled foundational strength. His comprehension of profound mysteries had already approached the threshold of the eighth breakthrough.
Once unleashed, his power could shake heaven and earth.
Simultaneously, Wang Feifan and the other transcendent prodigies erupted with their Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestations.
In an instant, towering dharma manifestations rose from the ground, their oppressive aura filling the heavens and completely enveloping Jiang Ye and Chen Zilu.
“This power…?”
“So strong.” Chen Zilu’s expression shifted slightly, sensing a mortal threat.
Though her own comprehension of profound mysteries had reached the quasi-eighth breakthrough level, she was instantly suppressed by the combined assault of the seven transcendent prodigies.
“Senior sister, step back.”
“Let me handle this.” Jiang Ye stepped forward, feeling the crushing pressure, yet a smile played on his lips.
Wasn’t this precisely the ‘adversity’ he had been seeking?
“Give me…”
“Break!” Jiang Ye took a step forward, his body instantly swelling explosively.
One thousand meters… two thousand meters…
Three thousand meters!
A colossal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, towering three thousand meters tall, rose into existence. Its eyes burned like blazing suns, radiating an overwhelming, domineering aura.
