My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 420 Annihilating the Mother Nest, Making History (Three-in-One, Seeking Monthly Tickets)
For a long time.

In the Blue Star Federation, the only one capable of destroying a Shadow Clan nest is the Alliance Leader Qitian.

But the Qitian Alliance was unable to take the initiative.

Due to various factors, Qi Tian had to guard Blue Star and could not personally enter the Shadow Clan's lair.

As for the other demigods, even if several demigods joined forces to storm a Shadow Clan lair, they might not be able to destroy it. Instead, it would give the Shadow Clan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

After all, there is more than one Shadow Clan lair leading to Blue Star.

For this reason, the Shadow Calamity has become an everlasting nightmare, looming over the heads of every living being on Earth.

But today.

The Li family demigod seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope for its annihilation!

"Whoosh!" With a wave of her jade hand, the demigod of the Li family gathered a massive amount of power from heaven and earth, making the black divine talisman even more dazzling.

Even before the killing talisman has been unleashed, the energy fluctuations it emits are enough to make even a third-tier demigod tremble!

"court death!"

Upon sensing this fluctuation, the black cocoon finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a hoarse growl.

Immediately afterwards, the vertical pupil on the surface of the flesh membrane suddenly opened.

"boom!"

A jet-black beam of light shot out, tearing through the void and heading straight for Jiang Ye.

"Delusion." The Li family demigod sneered and immediately summoned a treasure to block it.

However, she was not good at fighting. The Shadow Clan demigod had been able to stop her before, and now, facing the black cocoon in its peak state, she was no match for it.

Boom~!

In just a moment, the Li family demigod was repelled by the dark beam of light, letting out a muffled groan, clearly suffering a serious injury.

Fortunately, at this moment, Jiang Ye finally finished activating the 'Third-Order Killing God Talisman' in his hand.

"Go!" Jiang Ye pointed, and a streak of light shot out, bursting with endless white light along its path, as if it had sliced ​​open the entire sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang"

The stream of light split into hundreds of beams in mid-air, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that these beams were composed of countless blades, each of which tore through the void, unleashing power sufficient to threaten a peak second-tier demigod.

In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of such blades fell!
This is the terrifying power unleashed by the 'Third-Order Killing God Talisman', enough to annihilate a third-order demigod!

"This?" The black cocoon emanated an incredulous emotion.

It clearly hadn't expected that Jiang Ye could actually unleash power of this level.

Even it felt a deadly threat!
"You want to kill me in my own world?"

"Dream on!" the black cocoon growled.

The next moment, the black cocoon stretched out its body, and a menacing maw full of fangs appeared in the center of the cocoon, beginning to absorb a massive amount of the power of heaven and earth!
In the Shadow Clan's lair, this black cocoon is the core of the lair.

As the core, it naturally possesses the means to communicate with this world.

Right now, it's using one of its ultimate techniques—[Devouring Heaven and Earth]!
It absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and nourishes itself in return.

After all, this world was created to nurture it, and even if it devours the entire world, it will not be punished.

boom! boom! boom.
As it absorbed the heavens and earth, the aura of the black cocoon began to rise rapidly, far surpassing its predecessor in a very short time!

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

The black cocoon shot out beams of jet-black light, and a monstrous black aura filled the air as it desperately resisted the attack of the third-tier killing talisman.

Countless blades fell, but only a small portion penetrated the defenses and pierced its body.

But this injury is minor.

For the black callus that is now formed, it is of no concern whatsoever.

"That's all."

"Boy, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Bring them on!" The black cocoon of flesh let out a ferocious laugh, and a terrifying killing intent enveloped the heavens and the earth.

Jiang Ye's actions thoroughly enraged it.

"It actually blocked it?" The Li family demigod's expression changed. Just how terrifying was the power of the third-order killing talisman that Jiang Ye had activated?
If it were her, she wouldn't have any chance of taking it; her only option would be death.

Yet this giant black cocoon remained almost completely unharmed.

"The Shadow Clan's lair is so difficult to destroy?" The Li family demigod felt increasingly heavy-hearted, realizing that she probably wouldn't be able to completely eliminate this lair this time.

But at this moment.

"It's over." Jiang Ye suddenly smiled, calling out in his heart, "Bai Gui!"

Rumble!
In the next instant, a magnificent palace appeared out of thin air. This palace was tens of thousands of feet tall, and it was surrounded by white dragon phantoms, exuding overwhelming pressure.

[True God-Level Treasure: White Dragon Royal Court]!
With Jiang Ye's current level of cultivation, there is naturally no way for him to activate such a supreme treasure.

Even if he is the inheritor of the White Dragon civilization, it still won't work.

The gap is too big.

But Bai Gui is different. She is a spirit and possesses some authority over the White Dragon Royal Court, allowing her to unleash a small portion of its power.

Even a small fraction of them would be enough to suppress all beings below the level of gods.

The only problem is that it will take time for Bai Gui to activate the White Dragon Royal Court.

After all, even for her, activating a treasure of this caliber would require a considerable price.

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth.

The White Dragon Royal Court trembled slightly, and a visible ripple appeared.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and the entire dark world seemed to be collapsing, with countless void cracks spreading outwards.

The power of the White Dragon Royal Court is truly terrifying!
"what?"

"That is... a treasure of god-level quality?" The black cocoon conveyed an expression of disbelief. It simply could not imagine that Jiang Ye would possess a treasure of such a level.

This has completely exceeded the scope of demigod level.

So much so that it can only be understood as a divine treasure.

As for a true god-level treasure? I've never even heard of it.

"Damn it."

"How could humans possess treasures of this caliber? Did the Cangxu civilization give them to us?" The black cocoon was shaken, and the entire cocoon quickly curled up, as if trying to burrow into the ground.

"Hmph, want to leave?"

"Suppress!" Jiang Ye shouted, directly ordering Bai Gui to activate the White Dragon Royal Court.

Rumble!
In an instant, the White Dragon Royal Court shone brightly, unleashing layers of terrifying pressure that completely locked down the entire world in the blink of an eye.

Heaven and earth are both imprisoned!

At the same time, a terrifying pressure condensed, directly suppressing the black cocoon in place, rendering it unable to move.

"Click!" "Click!"

Under this terrifying pressure, the membrane on the surface of the black cocoon began to crack, and a large amount of black blood overflowed from the vertical pupil on its head.

Moreover, under the suppression of the White Dragon Royal Court, cracks appeared on its surface, and it was disintegrating at an accelerated pace.

"This? A divine treasure?" The Li family demigod was astonished.

She had no doubt that even she would have difficulty surviving for three breaths under such power!
"Jiang Ye, you need to be quick." Bai Gui's voice echoed in Jiang Ye's mind: "I can't hold out for long."

"it is good."

"Senior Li, please lend me another hand!" Jiang Ye shouted, taking out two more [Tier 3 Killing God Talismans].

The White Dragon Royal Court is extremely powerful.

However, Bai Gui's power was limited and could only be used for suppression, not for killing.

Of course, the main reason is that the black cocoon has thick, rough skin and a terrifyingly thick layer of blood.

It possesses the ability to regenerate infinitely and has an incredibly strong foundation, making it virtually immortal.

Otherwise, the White Dragon Royal Court alone would have been enough to suppress and kill it.

“Alright.” The Li family demigod did not dare to hesitate.

With a flick of her jade-like arm, she fully activated the two killing talismans.

Wow~
In an instant, the two killing runes unleashed a surge of boundless energy, finally instilling fear in the black cocoon.

"Human, don't kill me."

"If you stop, I am willing to cease hostilities forever." A hoarse voice echoed through the heavens and earth, filled with anxiety: "But if you insist on killing me, Blue Star will surely face the most frenzied revenge of my race!"

"A threat?" Jiang Ye sneered, completely ignoring it.

He was also going all out, activating two killing talismans.

With the blessing of 'Slaying Heaven and Breaking Boundaries', as long as Jiang Ye makes a move, this divine talisman can increase its power tenfold!
Under the suppression of the White Dragon Royal Court, the black cocoon had almost no chance of survival.

"You have slaughtered countless lives on my Blue Star."

"This debt will begin with you." Jiang Ye's eyes were filled with coldness, and he almost completely drained his strength, pouring it all into the two divine talismans.

Finally, the two killing runes were fully charged.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Two beams of light rose slowly, like two blazing suns, bursting forth with boundless and vast energy, completely enveloping this dark world.

"kill!"

Jiang Ye let out a low shout, and two killing talismans shot out like two sharp swords, directly towards the black giant cocoon that was suppressed by the White Dragon Royal Court.

Terrifying energy ripped through the heavens and earth, sweeping across the four directions and eight wastelands.

The previous killing talisman was enough to make a third-tier demigod tremble.

Now, the power of the two killing runes is only more terrifying. The two beams of light transformed into countless blades, forming a blade array powerful enough to annihilate a third-tier demigod.

As the blade array descended, it instantly slashed out thousands of spatial rifts, which immediately enveloped the black flesh cocoon.

"what!!"

"No—" The black cocoon of flesh let out a deafening scream as its body was completely engulfed by the array of blades. Countless blades pierced through its body, slicing its massive form into countless fragments.

It is indeed thick-skinned and has a body that is almost immortal.

Even the most severe injuries can heal instantly.

But now, under the suppression of the White Dragon Royal Court, its wounds cannot be healed.

“It’s over.” Jiang Ye’s eyes were icy.

The White Dragon Royal Court suddenly activated, unleashing a tremendous pressure.

"Bam—!!"

Under the terrifying pressure, the already cracked black cocoon completely disintegrated, exploding into wisps of black mist.

"Jiang Ye!" The last wisp of consciousness emanated from the black cocoon, filled with endless hatred and fear.

Rumble!
Its body exploded completely, and its life force rapidly dissipated.

Jiang Ye's gaze remained solemn as he stared intently at the Shadow Clan ahead. Their regenerative abilities were incredibly strange; who knew if this black cocoon had any other resurrection abilities?

Fortunately, the next second.

"Wow~"

A flood of cultivation insights poured into Jiang Ye's mind. These insights were extremely complex, as if they had spanned thousands of years.

Murder for Treasure

this means--

This Shadow Clan lair has been completely wiped out!!
"Ok?"

"How could this trigger the murder and looting effect?" Jiang Ye asked, a look of confusion on his face.

It should be noted that he had never gained any insights into cultivation from killing Shadow Clan members in the past.

But this time it's different.

"Could it be that in the system's judgment, the Shadow Clan is not considered life, and only the core of the Mother Nest is considered life?" Jiang Ye sensed the memories in his mind.

Soon, he had a look of realization.

"I see."

“Only the core of the Mother Nest possesses consciousness.” Jiang Ye sensed the memories: “The Shadow Clan it produces have no independent consciousness; they are merely puppets controlled by the Mother Nest.”

"More precisely, it is the embodiment of the mother nest."

“Therefore, any Shadow Clan member who dies outside will return to the Mother Nest itself,” Jiang Ye thought to himself. “The stronger the Shadow Clan member, the greater the cost of recalling them, requiring an astonishing amount of energy.”

The Shadow Clan is a strange race in the universe.

Their bodies can attach to shadows.

In reality, the vast majority of Shadow Clan members do not possess physical bodies; they are merely avatars formed from the consciousness of the Mother Nest. Only Shadow Clan members who have reached the Seventh Breakthrough level or higher possess a trace of the nature of a 'physical body'.

Therefore, the cost of reviving them in the mother nest is even greater.

"The Mother Nest produces many Shadow Clan avatars that roam the outside world."

“These avatars devour other races, allowing the mother nest to absorb a large amount of cultivation insights and strengthen itself.” Jiang Ye’s gaze was strange.

How does it sound?

Is it somewhat similar to his 'murder for treasure'?
Could this system's ability be a copy of the Shadow Clan's?
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.

"This Shadow Clan's mother nest has brought me a great deal of insights into cultivation." Jiang Ye didn't think much of it.

How many lives has this Shadow Clan hive devoured over the long years?

countless.

Although the vast majority of them are weak, there are also quite a few strong individuals who have reached the seventh level of breakthrough.

And now, all the cultivation insights it absorbed have benefited Jiang Ye.

At this time.

"Jiang Ye, we succeeded," the Li family demigod said, her voice filled with excitement.

For a brief moment, she was stunned.

The war between Blue Star and the Shadow Clan has lasted for hundreds of years.

Even the Alliance Leader Qi Tian had no way to deal with the Shadow Clan's lair.

The Li family demigod was originally sent by the alliance leader to protect Jiang Ye, but who would have thought that she would destroy the entire Shadow Clan's lair together with Jiang Ye!

This act is worthy of being recorded in history!

"Eno."

"You are a great contributor to Earth." The demigod of the Li family took a deep breath: "Hundreds of billions of people will benefit from your blessings."

“Senior Li also made a great contribution,” Jiang Ye said with a smile.

"Without you, I certainly couldn't have done these things," the Li family demigod shook his head.

Although Jiang Ye is only at the seventh level of breakthrough.

But in Li Qingqiu's eyes, she had truly placed Jiang Ye on the same level and at the same height as herself.

Even higher.

After all, she didn't know how many more tricks Jiang Ye had up his sleeve.

"fortunately."

"I resolved my grudges with Jiang Ye a long time ago." The Li family demigod was extremely grateful for her decision back then, as she knew about the conflict between Jiang Ye and Li Qingyue.

But long ago, she was convinced that Jiang Ye would become a great talent, so she ordered Li Qingyue to apologize to Jiang Ye.

If not.

At this moment, there is probably still an old score to settle between Jiang Ye and her.

But now? The Li family is undoubtedly firmly on Jiang Ye's side.

Jiang Ye didn't care about the thoughts of the Li family's demigod; at this moment, he was staring at the center of the battlefield ahead.

"Ok?"

"What is that?" Jiang Ye's eyes flickered.

After the black cocoon fell, it turned into countless black mists and dissipated, leaving behind a fist-sized ball of flesh.

This fleshy ball was entirely black, covered with strange patterns, and exuded an extremely evil aura.

"It is the original core of the Shadow Clan's mother nest."

Bai Gui's voice rang out: "After the Shadow Clan's mother nest falls, it usually leaves behind a seed, which may revive after a long period of time."

Jiang Ye couldn't help but snort coldly.

Of course he knew about this thing, but its appearance was a matter of probability, and he never expected to encounter it.

The key is.

This core of the mother nest cannot be destroyed by ordinary means!

Even if Jiang Ye used the third-tier killing talisman again, it would be useless. Only a powerful expert at the third level of the Divine Realm or above could completely destroy it.

"Wild fire, in spring."

"These Shadow Clan members are truly difficult to annihilate." Jiang Ye sighed inwardly, then stood up and walked towards the Origin Core.

"What is this?" The demigod of the Li family also noticed it.

“A remnant of the mother nest.” Jiang Ye didn’t say much. He couldn’t let this thing take root in this place, so he immediately pulled it out of the ground.

But the next second, Jiang Ye was stunned.

You stormed the invaders' stronghold, slaughtered thousands of enemy soldiers, and took the enemy general's head!

[Unlock Title: A Thousand Armies Fall Astray]

[Unlock Title: Take the Head of an Army]

Just as Jiang Ye picked up the Mother Nest Origin Core, a series of subtitles suddenly appeared!

"The enemy general's head?" Jiang Ye was taken aback, then looked at the black fleshy ball in his hand.

Is this what you mean?
Jiang Ye was both amused and exasperated, then focused his attention on the reward.

[A Thousand Armies Repel: You exert a 'fearful pressure' on the enemy army, making them virtually unstoppable. No army can muster effective morale in your presence.]

[Taking the Head from Among a Multitude of Troops: From the midst of a massive army, take the head of the enemy general. Your damage to the enemy general is increased tenfold, and all of their attributes are reduced by 30%.]

[Defying Ascension: With the body of a martial god, you defy ascension and become a legend in a low-level martial arts world. When you ascend, the resistance of heaven and earth will be reduced by 30%]

[Commander's Spirit: You have obtained the enemy general's head, which can be used to summon his former subordinates to fight for you]

-

A series of subtitles appeared.

Jiang Ye was stunned again.

The last time I saw so many densely packed subtitles was when I returned from the Huanglong civilization.

"Four awards?!" Jiang Ye was extremely surprised.

The phrases "a thousand troops retreat" and "ten thousand troops take the head" are relatively easy to understand.

What the heck is this "reverse ascension"?

"The Ascended Ones".

"You mean a demigod?" Jiang Ye's eyes were strange, but then he understood.

According to the system's definition, the God of War is already the highest limit in the low-level martial arts world.

Go up further?
The only option is to ascend to other planes, which makes perfect sense!

"When I ascend, the resistance of heaven and earth is reduced by 30%?" Jiang Ye stroked his chin. In the real world, how does he ascend?

Or.

Will this reward help him break through to demigod status in the future?

"Only time will tell." Jiang Ye looked at the last reward: "Commander's Soul?"

The next moment, Jiang Ye's eyes turned strange.

Because he vaguely sensed that a strange connection had been formed between himself and the core of the mother nest's origin!
"Summon former subordinates of the Mother Nest?"

"Isn't that summoning the Shadow Clan?" Jiang Ye was incredibly surprised. "The system can make them fight for me?"

It should be noted that among the former subordinates of the Mother Nest, there were many who were at least Nine-Break or even Demigods.

If all of these things could obey his orders?
"This..." Jiang Ye couldn't help but hiss, almost unable to resist trying it out on the spot.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

The Li family demigod is still standing there.

"Jiang Ye, what's wrong?"

"Could there be something unusual here?" The demigod of the Li family had a serious expression on her face as she noticed Jiang Ye's emotional fluctuations.

"No problem."

“I’ve already scouted the area, and the Shadow Clan’s lair here has been completely wiped out.” Jiang Ye smiled and said, “Senior Li, thank you for your help this time. Let’s go back.”

"Okay." The Li family demigod breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't ask Jiang Ye how he conducted the investigation.

After all, the methods Jiang Ye had previously displayed had far exceeded her expectations.

But speaking of going back...

"Eno."

"I will explain the matter of the Zhou family demigod to the Alliance Leader," the Li family demigod said solemnly. "The Alliance Leader will not blame you."

"Thank you." Jiang Ye nodded slightly; he didn't seem to mind.

After all, he had already secretly activated the recording talisman to document the crimes of the Zhou family's demigod.

"Let's go back." Jiang Ye's figure swayed.

With this trip over, he should now go into seclusion to prepare for the upcoming civilizational contest.

Whoosh!
The two transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the nearest starry sky tunnel.

Shadow Clan Civilization.

Numerous mother worlds were tightly joined together to form a honeycomb-shaped supercontinent, suspended in the dark starry sky.

This is the Mother Nest Continent.

The Mother Nest World, where Jiang Ye was just now, is just one of the 'nests' on this continent.

The various mother hives have interconnected channels, so if one hive encounters a problem, the other hives will know immediately.

For countless ages, this supercontinent has been peaceful.

The Shadow Clan has invaded more than just Earth.

Many civilizations below the first level in space have suffered greatly from it.

But today, a small area on this Mother Nest Continent suddenly began to tremble.

"Mother Nest No. 10 has fallen."

"She was murdered."

"Who is it? How dare they be so audacious?"

"Hive Number Ten, killed in its own world? How is that possible?"

"This is absurd." Several Mother Nests in the southeastern region of the Mother Nest Continent were in a great tremor, with powerful wills exchanging messages, all filled with shock.

These mother nests are the culprits behind the invasion of Earth.

For countless years, they have stood here, and no one has ever been able to bring down any of their members.

But today, this happened!

“It was Jiang Ye.” A powerful will said in a low voice, “He unleashed the power of a third-order demigod and killed Number Ten.”

"what?"

"Wasn't he only at the seventh level of breakthrough? How is that possible?"

"This child is so monstrous?" These powerful wills were all extremely surprised, and then boundless anger erupted from them.

"shame."

"What a shame!"

"Blue Star, you're really asking for it."

"Should we fight our way back?" These powerful wills exchanged ideas.

If a full-scale war breaks out, they will also pay a considerable price.

"Number One, what do you think?" a powerful will asked in a deep voice.

The first mother nest is the leader of this area.

"Don't worry."

“This Jiang Ye is somewhat unusual. I will report to the Cangxu Civilization.” The First Mother Nest said in a deep voice, “The initiative in this war is in our hands.”

"If the Cangxu civilization agrees, it won't be too late for us to declare war on them!"
