My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 346 First Place on the Star Ranking (Three-in-One, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Jiang Ye has an exceptional talent for the Way of Earth.

According to Bai Gui, when others first begin to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth, they can only see rays of light, and in very small quantities.

But what about Jiang Ye? If you pay close attention, you can see a large area of ​​yellowish-brown halo.

In fact, every ray of light is composed of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

A large halo signifies the convergence of hundreds or thousands of rays of light, containing astonishing mysteries of nature.

but.

Perceiving the mystery is one thing, comprehending the mystery is another.

"As Bai Gui said," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "the more mysteries of heaven and earth one can perceive, the higher one's compatibility with those mysteries."

"But a higher degree of compatibility does not necessarily mean a faster rate of comprehension."

"Understanding and perception are two different things."

"Fortunately, my understanding of the mysteries of earth is also quite excellent," Jiang Ye said with a smile.

Just half a month.

His understanding of the mysteries of earth progressed from the early stage of the seventh breakthrough to the late stage, a speed of comprehension that can only be described as astonishing.

According to Bai Gui, Jiang Ye's talent in the Earth Dao is comparable to that of some prodigies.

And this time.

Taking advantage of the battle, Jiang Ye's Earth Mystery broke through once again, finally reaching the threshold of the seventh breakthrough!

"Break!" Jiang Ye gripped his spear tightly, and endless earth-yellow light burst forth.

Rumble!
The opposing energies of blue and yellow suddenly surged like an avalanche, with the earthy yellow light instantly increasing.

In the blink of an eye, the blue energy was completely submerged.

"Let's end this." Jiang Ye swung his spear, and a large amount of earth magic gathered, forming a spear beam tens of meters long, which he thrust towards Zhou Kun.

Although this spear light was only a few dozen meters long, it was far less massive than the previous thousand-meter-long giant sword.

However, the fluctuations it emitted were enough to make any peak seventh-level expert change color.

Big doesn't necessarily mean strong.

"Whoosh!" The spear light pierced through the void, creating a shockwave hundreds of meters wide. Its power was terrifying to the extreme, and it shot towards Zhou Kun like lightning.

"That imposing presence?"

"I can't stop him." Zhou Kun's pupils dilated violently, and only one thought remained in his mind.

escape!
without hesitation.

"Whoosh!" Zhou Kun drew upon the mysteries of endless water to protect his body, while simultaneously shooting off into the distance, attempting to escape the battlefield.

Moreover, a majestic Dharma image, a thousand meters tall, rose from the ground, surrounded by layer upon layer of water shields, providing impenetrable protection.

All of this happened in an instant; Zhou Kun was moving at top speed, sprinting outwards.

But Jiang Ye's gun was faster than his!

"Whoosh!" A lightning-fast spear flashed past, piercing straight towards them, arriving in the blink of an eye.

"Hand over the Flame of Civilization, and I'll let you leave!" Jiang Ye's cold voice rang out.

At the same time, his spear had already arrived.

Click~!

The terrifying spear intent, imbued with the mysteries of earth, tore through Zhou Kun's defenses and, with undiminished momentum, stabbed down towards Zhou Kun's chest.

All the methods Zhou Kun had previously employed were rendered utterly ineffective by this single shot, as fragile as paper, and were obliterated with overwhelming force.

"Pfft~!"

The spear's edge pierced through!

It was incredibly fast, like a rainbow piercing the sun, and went straight through Zhou Kun's chest.

"Boom!" The terrifying power completely blasted the thousand-meter-tall Dharma image apart, turning it into countless points of light that dissipated.

"call out!"

Zhou Kun, however, used this power to escape far away.

"The damage to the Heavenly Dharma Form, though significant, is not enough to endanger my life," Zhou Kun thought to himself. "I am number one on the Star Ranking; I cannot afford to lose here!"

He didn't want to be eliminated.

By now, all the participants, including Zhou Kun, had a hunch: this ancient civilization contained a great secret.

Therefore, the longer you stay, the better!

"escape!"

"Bang!" Zhou Kun suddenly crushed a jade talisman. This was a seventh-tier treasure that could be used to save one's life in critical moments.

call!
The next moment, he transformed into a streak of light, instantly rushing a thousand miles away, completely escaping the battlefield.

"Can you escape?" Jiang Ye sneered, and a large silver bow appeared in his hand.

boom!
Jiang Ye drew his bow, and instantly countless earth-yellow rays of light converged, and thousands of phantom arms appeared all around, pulling the bowstring together.

A terrifying energy gathered wildly, causing the entire bow to tremble slightly, as if it were about to crack at any moment.

"Go!" Jiang Ye suddenly released the bowstring.

In an instant.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Thousands of arrows, formed from the mysteries of earth, roared out like a storm.

Archery Technique: Piercing the Stars!

"My Star Piercing Arrow Technique has reached its peak, and I can fire two thousand arrows in an instant." Jiang Ye sighed inwardly, "Unfortunately, this Falling Star Bow is of too low a grade and cannot withstand that kind of energy."

"but."

"Even if it's only a thousand shots, it'll be enough to deal with Zhou Kun." Jiang Ye looked into the distance.

Bang bang bang!
Thousands of arrows shot out at hundreds of times the speed of sound, creating terrifying sonic booms, and in a very short time, they caught up with Zhou Kun, who was thousands of miles away.

"what?"

"How could this be?" Zhou Kun felt an immense life-or-death crisis looming over him. He was about to run for his life when he was horrified to find that he could not move.

[Void Target Acquisition: At distances of 10 meters or more, ranged hit rate is increased by 100%, and damage is increased by 1%-100%. The further the distance, the higher the damage. There is also a 0.1% chance to inflict the 'Void Imprisonment' status on the target.]

0.1% chance of Void Imprisonment!

Although the odds are small, the simultaneous firing of thousands of arrows would greatly increase them.

"not good."

"This power?" Zhou Kun's senses were extremely sharp, and he knew in an instant that these arrows would pose a great threat to him.

If there were only one or two arrows, they would not be a concern at all.

If thousands of arrows were fired at once, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die.

"escape!"

"Give up." Zhou Kun felt despair and dared not hesitate any longer.

Whoohoo!
In an instant, a great deal of the flame of civilization burst forth from his body.

He was enveloped by an invisible force and instantly teleported away.

The battlefield finally fell silent.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Thousands of arrows shot into the ground, like a barrage of rain, turning the entire land into a sieve.

"Ran away?"

"That's quite decisive." Jiang Ye's figure flickered, and he arrived at the place where Zhou Kun had left, absorbing all of the hundreds of flames of civilization.

Anyone who throws out all the flames of civilization within their body will be immediately expelled from the ruins of civilization.

Jiang Ye couldn't stop him either.

Moreover, Zhou Biao was already dead, so Zhou Kun was already on guard, making his decisive action quite reasonable.

"pity."

"If I had a demigod-level archer," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "it would be a piece of cake to kill Zhou Kun."

This Falling Star Bow is merely an Earth-rank weapon.

It simply cannot unleash the full power of the Star Piercing Arrow Technique.

If it were replaced with a demigod weapon, not only would the number of arrows increase, but the firing speed would also increase significantly, reaching more than a thousand times the speed of sound.

A thousand miles can be covered in milliseconds.

At this time.

"Hmm?" Jiang Ye suddenly turned his head to look into the distance.

A hundred miles away, several figures were watching this battlefield from afar.

They were all top ten experts on the Star Ranking.

But at this moment, when they felt Jiang Ye's gaze, they all trembled and quickly turned around and retreated.

"Even someone as powerful as Zhou Kun is no match for Jiang Ye."

"too strong."

"Jiang Ye's strength is probably far beyond ours." These top ten powerhouses all felt their hearts tremble.

Most of them came from various extraordinary families, such as Chu Yu of the Chu family and Qi Guibei of the Qi family.

Although there is a gap between Zhou Kun, who is in first place, and them, it is by no means too large.

But Jiang Ye?
After a battle, Jiang Ye completely overwhelmed Zhou Kun. This overwhelming strength made them realize how terrifying Jiang Ye was.

"Comprehend two kinds of mysteries of heaven and earth?"

"This abandoned son of the Li family is actually this strong?" Li Shiyue also found it hard to believe.

She had never really cared about Jiang Ye's attitude.

Even though the other party defeated Zhou Biao, she didn't care, since she could do it easily herself.

But now, Li Shiyue is truly afraid.

"Come on."

"If he recognizes me, he definitely won't let me go." Li Shiyue was filled with fear and quickly fled into the distance.

She knew very well that it was her own mother who had driven Jiang Ye out of the Li family back then.

This also made Li Shiyue the most favored member of the Li family.

If Jiang Ye knew all this, he might not hold a grudge against her, but he would definitely not give her a kind look.

outside world.

"Won."

"Jiang Ye has defeated Zhou Kun and taken first place on the Star Ranking!"

"I'm so drunk, I've lost a million."

"I'm the one who's lost everything, ten million! It's all gone."

"Who would have thought that Zhou Kun would suffer such a crushing defeat?" For hundreds of millions of viewers, this battle was undoubtedly an upset.

Despite the strength that Jiangye had previously demonstrated.

However, most viewers still felt that Zhou Kun, who was ranked number one on the star list, had very little chance of winning.

Therefore, the vast majority of people bet on Zhou Kun!
But the result? It exceeded everyone's expectations.

"The ultimate battle: Jiang Ye versus Zhou Xingkong! I'm betting everything on Zhou Xingkong! This time, I won't lose!"

"Study!"

"Anyway, nobody's paying attention to me. I'm betting 100 million on Jiang Ye. Let's go!" The live stream's popularity continued to soar.

Soon, it reached a peak of 20 billion people.

Among them are many super-rich individuals; ten million or even one hundred million is nothing to them.

Above the circular platform.

Compared to the jubilation of countless viewers, many demigods were equally shocked.

"Breakthrough during the battle."

"Jiang Ye's mastery of earth magic has broken through to the peak of the seventh breakthrough during the battle!"

"His initial realm was only at the fifth breakthrough, yet his profound understanding has already reached the peak of the seventh breakthrough?" The Wang family demigod and the Li family demigod were both incredulous.

From their perspective, the profound insights gained at the peak of the seventh level are nothing special.

But Jiang Ye's true cultivation level is only at the fifth level.

Most importantly, break through during the battle!

"Jiang Ye, he grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough from just one battle?" Qi Tian was also extremely surprised: "Is his talent in the Earth Dao really that high?"

"It's just good luck," said the Zhou family demigod. "Some people have an epiphany in a single day, while others need ten or even a hundred years to grasp even a trace of its mystery."

"That doesn't prove anything."

"After all, good luck once doesn't guarantee good luck a second time," the Zhou family demigod said coldly. "Without years of accumulation, even if you manage to break through a certain barrier by chance, you will inevitably stagnate at the next barrier."

Qi Tian nodded slightly.

The transition from the late stage of the seventh breakthrough to the peak of the seventh breakthrough is a significant hurdle.

These demigods spent a considerable amount of time on it back then.

What about Jiang Ye? It's unreasonable that he could skip over it with just one battle.

It can only be explained by luck.

"Will he still have such good luck after breaking through to the eighth level?" Qi Tian wondered.

Inside the ruins of the civilization, Jiang Ye had already flown back to Chen Zilu, Song Gang, and the others.

After absorbing hundreds of streams of civilized fire from Zhou Kun, Jiang Ye's foundation became even more solid, and his aura became even more ethereal and unpredictable. Meanwhile...

The convergence of thousands of flames of civilization made him extremely dazzling, his light as bright as a blazing sun.

"Jiang Ye?" Chen Zilu looked at him, her expression somewhat dazed.

She never expected this.

Jiang Ye's strength is actually this great.

"Jiang Ye Brothers".

"You're amazing! Even Zhou Kun isn't your match." Song Gang, Song Xuan, and the others stepped forward, all looking astonished.

They thought Jiang Ye would win.

But I never expected to win so decisively.

He was ranked first in the All-Star Rankings, but was completely suppressed by Jiang Ye!

"Brother Jiang, you definitely have a chance to win the All-Star Battle Championship." Song Gang's eyes were filled with excitement: "Then, I can also benefit from it."

"All-Star Champions?" Jiang Ye smiled upon hearing this: "It's still a long way off."

The battle for the top 100 is not over yet.

The battle for the championship will begin after the top 100 competition concludes.

To win the championship, you have to defeat all the extraordinary talents.

"Among that group of extraordinary talents, there are also powerful individuals whose initial realm is the seventh breakthrough."

"Like Chu Jingye," Jiang Ye thought to himself, this person might become his greatest rival.

However, Jiang Ye was not in a hurry.

He gained a great deal from this battle.

More than 600 flames of civilization from Zhou Kun, plus his original 400-plus flames, totaled more than 1,000 flames of civilization!
Such a large number of flames of civilization made Jiang Ye's understanding of the Seven Breaks even more acute.

Not only that.

"These star beasts?" Jiang Ye looked at the enormous corpses on the ground.

We were too busy fighting to deal with the corpses.

"call!"

Jiang Ye reached out and grabbed, and a large amount of fire essence condensed into giant hands, which reached down to grab the corpses of the star beasts below.

Puff~ Puff~
Quickly.

Dozens of golden pills appeared.

One of the pills exuded an overwhelming aura, originating from the core of the Star Beast King.

Put away the Star Beast King Core.

"Song Gang, you guys take this." Jiang Ye distributed one-fifth of the beast core to Song Gang, Song Xuan, and the others.

"Thank you very much, Brother Jiang Ye." Song Gang quickly accepted the gift.

He didn't exert much effort in killing the star beast.

Song Gang was already content to receive one-fifth of the share.

"Senior sister?" Jiang Ye suddenly looked at Chen Zilu.

He noticed that the other person had been standing there in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zilu asked, snapping out of her daze when she heard the voice.

"You seem a bit dazed, are you alright?" Jiang Ye asked with concern.

"No way," Chen Zilu shook her head repeatedly. "I'm fine."

Jiang Ye guessed what she was thinking; it was simply because he had become too strong and too fierce.

As a result, Chen Zilu was unable to adapt for a time.

At this moment, he didn't expose the other party.

"Let's go," Jiang Ye said with a smile. "There should still be quite a few star beasts in this inner area."

"We will hunt down as many star beasts as possible."

“This star beast core will greatly help us improve our cultivation,” Jiang Ye said.

The Star Beast Core can help Jiang Ye quickly reach the sixth breakthrough.

Once he breaks through the sixth level, he can break through to the seventh level or even the peak of the seventh level in a very short time. After all, he has already reached the level of profound understanding, and only the requirement of the life level remains.

“Okay.” Chen Zilu naturally listened to Jiang Ye without the slightest hesitation.

"These flames of civilization are for you." Jiang Ye thought to himself, and hundreds of flames of civilization flew toward Chen Zilu.

The improvements brought about by the flame of civilization have an upper limit.

Once the quantity exceeds one thousand, the improvement for him becomes less noticeable.

"Thank you." Chen Zilu did not refuse, silently accepting the hundreds of flames of civilization, a complex look flashing deep in her eyes.

She had previously worried that Jiang Ye would be discouraged after seeing her strength.

In retrospect, there was no need to worry about it at all.

Jiang Ye's strength completely exceeded Chen Zilu's expectations.

"He has finally surpassed me." Chen Zilu sighed inwardly, genuinely happy for Jiang Ye.

She had long been prepared to be surpassed by Jiang Ye.

But when Jiang Ye truly surpassed her, she still felt a little uneasy. She didn't know how to deal with the upcoming change in her identity.

She was Jiang Ye's senior and also his former teacher.

She had never thought about how she would face Jiang Ye now that his strength had surpassed hers.

Maintain the status quo? Or seek further development? Chen Zilu was unsure, and a sense of confusion flickered deep within her.

Jiang Ye was unaware of Chen Zilu's thoughts.

"Song Gang, let's go." Jiang Ye called out, then transformed into a dazzling streak of light and shot into the sky.

Hunting Star Beasts! That's Jiang Ye's next goal.

As time passed, a special group roamed freely and without restraint among the ruins of civilization.

No one dared to cause them trouble.

Even the top ten strongest players on the leaderboard would have to take a detour and stay far away if they encountered them.

Without him!

This is because this team has a terrifying player who is ranked number one on the All-Star leaderboard.

Part 1: Jiang Ye, 999 Flames of Civilization

Far ahead!

A brilliant ride!
The difference between him and the second-place finisher was at least three hundred flames of civilization.

Thanks to Jiang Ye's presence, no one dared to approach their group. This made the actions of Jiang Ye, Chen Zilu, and the others extremely smooth.

at the same time.

Cultural relics, core area.

Within a mountain range of thunder, which is perpetually crackling with lightning, the scene under the shroud of countless bolts of lightning is incredibly terrifying.

In the very center of the countless flashes of lightning, a silver-haired figure sat cross-legged.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Terrifying bolts of lightning struck down, landing on the figure and making it even more dazzling.

"This Thunder Mountain Range is quite similar to the Washing God Waterfall."

"It can hone my physical body." The silver-haired youth thought to himself, "In the past half month, the strength of my physical body has improved significantly."

The silver-haired youth was none other than Zhou Xingkong.

"This core area of ​​the civilization's ruins has quite a few advantages."

Zhou Xingkong thought to himself, "I wonder how much benefit Chu Jingye and Li Zihuang have received."

He has always harbored the ambition to win the championship in this year's All-Star Battle.

Zhou Xingkong knew that Chu Jingye and his group were his biggest competitors.

suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Zhou Kun was eliminated?" Zhou Xingkong's mind raced slightly.

"what?"

"Jiang Ye has grasped the mysteries of fire and earth." Zhou Xingkong had received Zhou Kun's final message: "And has he mastered an extremely long-range killing move?"

moment.

Zhou Xingkong's expression changed.

A powerful expert like Zhou Kun, who has reached the peak of the seventh level of breakthrough, must have something to help him escape.

Even under these circumstances, Zhou Kun was unable to escape?

How strong must Jiang Ye be?
"A long-range killing move? Could it be archery?" Zhou Xingkong frowned; this was the only possibility he could think of.

What kind of archery skills could prevent even a peak seventh-level expert from escaping?
Heavenly Rank? Definitely not.

"Could it be that Jiang Ye possesses a demigod-level archery skill?"

"But isn't his best skill marksmanship?" Zhou Xingkong asked in surprise, though he appeared to be completely unconcerned about the challenge.

But secretly, they also searched through a lot of information about Jiang Ye.

But none of those records mention that Jiang Ye possessed a demigod-level archery technique!
"Not only that."

“His marksmanship is suspected to be at a demigod level.” Zhou Xingkong frowned.

Demigod-level marksmanship, demigod-level archery.

In addition, there are two profound mysteries of heaven and earth comparable to the peak of the seventh level of breakthrough!
"Can you win?"

“Jiang Ye’s trump cards are probably not limited to this.” Zhou Xingkong’s eyes flashed: “If it were me, I wouldn’t reveal all my trump cards before the final battle.”

Although he was arrogant, he was by no means conceited.

Even knowing that Jiang Ye had so many trump cards up his sleeve, he still felt that the other party might still have some trump cards that he hadn't revealed yet.

Even if we take a step back and say that these are all of Jiang Ye's trump cards, then these are all the cards he has up his sleeve.

Zhou Xingkong himself realized that he wasn't entirely confident he could defeat Jiang Ye.

"Damn it."

"How can a mere primal talent be this powerful?" Veins bulged on Zhou Xingkong's forehead: "Is he cheating?"

Six months ago, if it were six months ago...

Jiang Ye was only at the third breakthrough level, while he was already at the mid-stage of the fifth breakthrough level and could easily crush Jiang Ye with a single finger.

But now? It's only been a short time.

Jiang Ye has already made Zhou Xingkong feel extremely troubled.

"This boy is ruthless."

"Given the grudge between us," Zhou Xingkong thought to himself, "if I am truly no match for him, this boy will certainly not hold back."

With his extraordinary talent, he had absolute confidence that even if Jiang Ye still had hidden cards up his sleeve, he was confident that he could remain invincible.

But everything is possible.

What if Jiang Ye has some unimaginable killer move hidden?

As the most outstanding genius of the Zhou family in this generation, Zhou Xingkong may act domineeringly, but he is by no means a fool.

"We must prepare for both possibilities."

Whoosh! Zhou Xingkong suddenly stood up, transformed into a streak of light, and flew towards the depths of the core area.

The core area is located in a vast valley.

A stunningly beautiful young woman dressed in purple sat cross-legged, contemplating the universe.

suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Is this a message from Li Shiyue?" Li Zihuang opened her eyes and listened carefully.

Soon, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face.

"Fire and earth? Two mysteries of heaven and earth?"

"He also possesses an archery technique that's suspected to be demigod-level?" Li Zihuang was secretly surprised: "Is Jiang Ye really that strong?"

Just a moment.

She realized that Jiang Ye would be one of the strong contenders for the top three in this year's All-Star Battle.

"but."

"I heard that Jiang Ye has a grudge against Zhou Xingkong." Li Zihuang thought to herself, "After the second phase begins, he will probably go to find Zhou Xingkong first, and then we'll see how things go."

"If Jiang Ye is no match for Zhou Xingkong, I will lend a hand."

Li Zihuang has a good impression of Jiang Ye.

She has always felt that such exceptional geniuses who come from humble backgrounds are worth winning over.
