Chapter 516: Divine Might
The first tier of the Imperial Domain grants a 50% increase in mastery over the natural world.
Don’t underestimate this 50%.
Each additional 10% increase in mastery over the natural world results in an exponential surge in combat power. After all, comprehending the natural world enhances combat power across multiple dimensions.
More importantly!
Within the domain, the breadth and depth of one’s comprehension of the natural world determine the upper limit of combat power amplification.
Jiang Ye had already comprehended the Five Fundamental Profound Mysteries and the higher-level Ash Law.
Activating the Imperial Domain would unleash a terrifying boost to his combat power.
“Besides the Imperial Domain,”
“The Domain of Suppression is also a formidable weapon against enemies.” Jiang Ye’s eyes gleamed with icy brilliance. “By weakening my foes while strengthening myself, I can create an overwhelming advantage.”
“However,”
“Among these three transcendent domains, the most extraordinary might be the final one.” Jiang Ye stared at the system panel.
Transcendent Domain: Divine Transformation.
No tier restrictions.
Its description consisted of a single, concise sentence, followed by a conspicuous red-text warning:
“Requires massive energy consumption. Use with extreme caution.” Jiang Ye pondered.
The system’s explicit warning suggested this consumption was far from ordinary.
“Let’s give it a try,” Jiang Ye said, rising to his feet. With a thought, he vanished from his spot.
Moments later, Jiang Ye arrived in a desolate mountain range, where human presence was virtually nonexistent for thousands of miles.
“This should do,” he murmured to himself.
He wanted to conduct this experiment without any witnesses, hence his deliberate choice of this barren region. Even demigods would find it difficult to detect him here.
Though demigods possessed vast divine abilities, they couldn’t possibly monitor every corner of Blue Star simultaneously.
“Transcendent Domain, Divine Transformation!” Jiang Ye declared mentally.
Buzz!
A peculiar wave emanated from Jiang Ye’s body. Though invisible and intangible, it disturbed the void, causing the entire world to subtly distort.
All transcendent domains possessed the power to influence the very fabric of heaven and earth.
“Hmm?”
“What’s this?” Jiang Ye’s expression shifted slightly as he felt an overwhelming suction force surge within him.
Whoosh!
Vast quantities of the mysteries of heaven and earth converged frantically, forming a visible vortex of profound mysteries. Even the surrounding gravity briefly warped.
Sizzle~ Light surged.
Countless strands of heaven and earth power poured into Jiang Ye’s body.
Fine golden patterns, like a flowing star river, shimmered across his skin.
Is this the Body Divine Transformation? Jiang Ye realized.
The so-called “Divine Transformation” was the empowerment by unimaginable heaven and earth power.
In that instant, Jiang Ye could clearly sense that his core attributes—strength, speed, defense, and more—had been amplified dozens of times over.
His combat power surged explosively in an incredibly short span.
“Spear.” Light swirled in Jiang Ye’s hand, and a silver-black long spear materialized.
Whoosh.
As Jiang Ye gripped the spear, an immeasurable power surged through him, vast and boundless like an endless ocean.
“The boundless heavens and earth…”
“For the first time, I feel truly powerful.” Jiang Ye exhaled deeply, his eyes shining as brightly as the Proud Sun.
Empowered by the Divine Transformation Domain, he felt as if he stood above the entire world, wielding infinite might!
“Then…”
“Let me witness this so-called ‘divine might’ for myself,” Jiang Ye murmured, raising the Black Divine Spear high above his head.
With a swift motion, he soared into the heavens.
Whoosh! Jiang Ye gripped the Black Divine Spear and unleashed a ferocious strike. The spear tip sliced through the vast expanse of heaven and earth, plunging downward with unstoppable force.
A dazzling spear radiance pierced the entire realm.
Boom!
A thunderous roar erupted as the strike landed with divine might, unleashing a golden radiance that stretched ten thousand zhang.
This golden light didn’t stem from the mysteries of metal, but from an even more terrifying energy: divine might!
“Divine might is a product of divinity,” Jiang Ye understood. “But cultivating profound divinity or Martial Art Divine Essence can also generate a trace of divine might.”
“Just a trace, though.”
Yet now…
Jiang Ye’s strike contained far more than a mere trace of divine might.
Beneath the ten-thousand-zhang golden radiance, a massive surge of divine might erupted.
Rumble!
The spear’s descent unleashed an earth-shattering collision, causing the ground to tremble violently.
Countless fissures spread across the landscape, and a colossal crater hundreds of kilometers in diameter materialized, pulverizing towering peaks and majestic mountain ranges into dust.
The terrifying shockwave reverberated over five hundred kilometers in mere moments.
“This…?” Jiang Ye couldn’t help but be stunned.
One strike!
Its destructive force had clearly reached the standard of a seventh breakthrough!
It’s important to remember that Jiang Ye’s current realm was only the sixth breakthrough.
“The Divine Transformation Domain… it directly allowed me to transcend an entire major realm?” Jiang Ye stared in disbelief.
Even he hadn’t anticipated this.
Could this ability truly be this absurdly powerful?
Immediately afterward,
“Divine Transformation! Divine might!” Jiang Ye roared skyward, his chest swelling with boundless ambition.
Exhilarating!
This ability far surpassed his wildest expectations, filling him with overwhelming joy.
With this trump card, Jiang Ye could now slay enemies even a major realm above him.
But just as Jiang Ye was reveling in his triumph,
Suddenly,
“Hmm?”
“Something’s wrong.” Jiang Ye’s expression shifted abruptly as he swiftly descended to the ground.
During his descent, his aura rapidly dissipated, until by the time he landed, it had withered to its absolute limit.
Worse still, all color drained from his face, and his muscles rapidly atrophied.
He resembled a desiccated corpse, drained of all sustenance.
“This is bad.”
“Could this be a side effect of the Divine Transformation Domain?” Jiang Ye was stunned. The system had warned him that this ability would consume vast amounts of energy and should be used with extreme caution.
But this?
He had only unleashed a single spear strike!
Yet his entire being felt completely drained, utterly debilitated.
“My body?” Jiang Ye quickly examined himself, his shock deepening.
The Guanyuan Acupoint was completely depleted.
The twelve stellar meridians, Sea of Consciousness Space, and five viscera and six bowels had all withered, as if every ounce of nourishment had been squeezed out.
Not even a trace of stellar energy could be circulated.
He had lost all combat capability!
“Thank goodness this isn’t a battlefield,” Jiang Ye thought with a mix of relief and lingering fear. “The Divine Transformation Domain truly cannot be used lightly.”
“It can only serve as a last resort.”
“Once activated, I must kill the enemy,” Jiang Ye vowed inwardly. “Otherwise, my death is certain.”
The Divine Transformation Domain drained every ounce of his potential.
While it granted him unimaginable explosive power for a fleeting moment, the aftermath left him utterly debilitated.
Even at Jiang Ye’s current level, full recovery would likely take a day or even several days.
Whoosh! Jiang Ye flipped his palm and retrieved a fifth-tier treasure medicine, refining it on the spot.
Quickly.
Swish! The treasure transformed into pure energy, nourishing Jiang Ye’s nearly depleted body.
Moments later.
“Several Fifth-Tier Treasures… and they only provide slight relief,” Jiang Ye murmured, opening his eyes with a hint of resignation.
The side effects of the Divine Transformation Domain were truly terrifying.
Of course, this was also because he had already achieved his sixth breakthrough, making Fifth-Tier Treasures less effective for him.
“Fortunately, this should be enough to get me back,” Jiang Ye thought, focusing on refining the treasure.
Soon after, he rose and flew toward the Chen Clan Territory.
