It was the might of a single finger, blazing and dazzling, with divine radiance flowing, making the world as bright as day once more!
Vast and pure light, without blemish, carrying extreme heat and killing intent, incinerated the surrounding Nether Qi, creating a vacuum in that area!
And on the other side, Zhong Tianyi also pressed his palm down from the air.
In the Void Realm, Laws flowed, and divine lines intertwined, transforming into a divine statue forged from the "Dao."
The divine statue was resplendent throughout, condensed from dozens of Great Dao: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Life and Death, Reincarnation, Yin and Yang evolution, Space and Time reversal... all were manifested.
"Myriad Dao Seal!"
One seal covered the world, and ten thousand Dao sang in unison!
This divine statue seemed to replace the will of heaven and earth, descending with unimaginable power!
Divine sounds boomed, and ten thousand Dao chanted together!
However, the blazing light instantly collided with it!
One bright, one dark, one righteous, one evil—two extreme forces fiercely clashed at this moment!
Boom!!!
Underneath the Nine Nether, subterranean fire seemed to erupt, and divine light shot to the sky!
Violent Qi currents rushed in all directions like a flood, and space collapsed inch by inch!
The Radiant Divine King Finger's light and the Great Dao divine statue fiercely clashed, every inch of space seeming unable to withstand the power between the two, collapsing and regenerating.
Jiang Ye's robes flapped, yet he still stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged, his figure not moving an inch!
The violent fluctuations of the entire world abruptly stopped three feet in front of him.
Opposite him, Zhong Tianyi's white robes flapped, his expression slightly grim, and he took a small step backward, the ground beneath his feet cracking inch by inch!
A hint of solemnity appeared at the corner of his mouth, and there was some surprise deep in his eyes.
The might of a single finger was actually so formidable!
The divine power carried by the Radiant Divine King Finger not only completely countered his "Myriad Dao Seal" but even showed a faint suppressive intent!
This was not a clash between ordinary techniques but a true confrontation of Dao-Grade power!
"You... at such a young age, can you actually create such a Divine Ability?" Zhong Tianyi murmured softly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.
Jiang Ye smiled slightly, a faint glow still lingering on his fingertip, his tone light: "Does it matter? Senior, I am very curious, from the Hidden Killers Pavilion incident to this time and place, what exactly is your identity?"
"How many more aliases do you have?"
Zhong Tianyi was silent for a moment, his mind clear, and he roughly guessed the meaning of "aliases." He chuckled: "Divine Son Jiang, Tian Yin is indeed one of my aliases."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye merely raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression normal, as if he had already expected it.
Zhong Tianyi took a slow step forward, as if questioning:
"However, I am also very curious, Ye Qingyun is indeed exceptionally talented, but why is he worth all this trouble for you?"
"Is he really just a bait?"
"It doesn't make sense for you to care so much, does it?"
He was a person who liked to be in control of the overall situation; for him, anything he couldn't control was dangerous.
Jiang Ye's eyes curved slightly, his smile not deep, as if mocking, yet also like a casual whisper.
"How should I put it? Why don't you try to kill him?"
"Then you might understand."
Zhong Tianyi's brows furrowed slightly, vaguely feeling something strange.
But he couldn't articulate it, nor could he understand it.
He even suspected that Jiang Ye was using this point to draw him into a trap, using Ye Qingyun to ambush him?
But he also felt that Jiang Ye couldn't be so shallow.
He took a deep breath, his face still calm, his tone as steady as ever: "Forget it... as you said, I'll give it a try."
"But before that..."
Before Zhong Tianyi finished speaking, his Qi surged violently.
At this moment, Zhong Tianyi no longer concealed himself; the terrifying power hidden within him erupted like a volcanic explosion, his blood and Qi surging, his Primordial Spirit roaring!
His robes vibrated, and a black lotus rose from the top of his head!
The black lotus was dark throughout, as if melted from the deepest darkness of heaven and earth, inscribed with countless ancient symbols, all ancient forbidden curses. As it opened and closed, it caused the Void Realm to vibrate violently.
It was incredibly alarming.
"Black Lotus Secret Art!"
"I'll first try to see if I can kill you!"
The Nether Qi of the Nine Nether Land was forcibly sucked into the black lotus, transforming into a world-devouring torrent that actually suppressed the Laws of heaven and earth!
Even more terrifying was that...
The Dao Laws of the surrounding world were forcibly neutralized, actually being completely obscured by the black lotus!
As the black lotus slowly rotated, a Qi that surpassed the Saint Realm slowly emerged, like an ancient god awakening after ten thousand years of slumber!
At this moment, the heavens and earth changed color, and the lotus sea froze.
Jiang Ye looked at the rising black lotus, his eyes slightly narrowed, shaking his head with a half-smile.
"Just as I thought."
He sneered to himself.
From the very beginning, he knew.
Zhong Tianyi, or rather Tian Yin, could never simply be chatting and laughing with him.
No one who could stand at the Peak of all heavens was a mediocre talent, especially an ancient existence like Tian Yin, who had lived for countless eras, could not possibly be without trump cards.
However, Jiang Ye was already prepared.
"But..."
Jiang Ye's eyes flickered, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You have your killing move, and I naturally have my escape route."
Before his words fell, he swept his sleeve, and an extremely ancient Magical Artifact suddenly appeared.
It was an antique bronze space Dao Artifact, shaped like a tortoise shell, inscribed with thousands of complex Dao patterns. Its light was restrained, containing the universe, like a miniature world.
Space and time were distorted on it, and the Great Dao rose and fell. Wisps of immortal light flickered in and out, as if immortal spirits that had slept for billions of years were whispering within it.
Jiang Ye gently squeezed his palm, and in the center of the Magical Artifact, a dark golden halo rapidly expanded, like an Immortal Gate about to be opened!
On the other side, Zhong Tianyi's black lotus Qi had already pressed down. It was a mixture of the Great Dao Qi of the Nine Nether, transforming into an invisible heavy pressure that shattered the lotus sea mountains and rocks, causing Dao Laws to collapse and the Void Realm to crack!
The surrounding space had already been sealed, but at this moment, the tortoise shell Dao Artifact vibrated slightly, seemingly tearing open a crack in the entire sealing force!
"Until next time, Brother Zhong."
Jiang Ye smiled lightly, no longer speaking, and with a flash of the Dao Artifact's light, his entire person completely vanished from the spot.
At this moment...
Zhong Tianyi's Qi was surging to its Peak, the power of the black lotus Great Dao crashing like waves against a shore, but it rushed into empty air!
"He left quite cleanly."
He looked at the spot where Jiang Ye disappeared, a smile of unknown meaning appearing at the corner of his mouth, his eyes as deep as an abyss, remaining silent for a long time.
The black lotus, fully bloomed in the air, still hovered, black patterns like chains intertwining in the Void Realm. Ancient Netherworld characters appeared on it, seemingly still sensing the lingering fluctuations of the spatial artifact.
"Even if I can't keep you, I can't let you cause destruction here."
A moment later, Zhong Tianyi flicked his sleeve, and the black lotus's Qi suddenly receded, the entire world returning to silence.
"Hmph, a space Dao Artifact!?"
"Such a creation is at least of the Immortal Artifact level!"
Zhong Tianyi's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Before he made his move, he had already sealed the surrounding space with a secret art. Logically, even an ordinary Emperor Weapon should not have been able to escape the confines of this world.
Yet Jiang Ye was able to escape easily, without paying any price!
"This is definitely not ordinary..."
"Something's wrong, it's truly strange!"
Zhong Tianyi murmured softly to himself, the divine light in his eyes flickering, his heart churning with waves.
Based on the intelligence he controlled, even the Longevity Immortal Clan Jiang Clan should not possess a spatial Immortal Artifact of this level.
After all, at the end of this Dark Ages, artifacts that could truly be called Immortal Artifacts were extremely rare.
"Thinking back then, I used all sorts of methods, and I should have probed out everything about the Jiang Clan..."
"But such a variable is truly strange..."
