268: Things rarely go as planned.

"F*ck!"

The purple-skinned big man was sent flying by a single blade strike.

Purple blood even splashed through the air.

The bit of Calamity Power he possessed was directly broken through.

The reason why Ascenders are the orthodox power in this universe...

...is because the Independent Multiplier is simply too terrifying.

This Independent Multiplier is final damage.

That is to say, after your power rank is calculated, it's an explosion of thousands of points of Physique, which then serves as the base for the Independent Multiplier's boost.

The higher the Ascender Rank...

...the more ridiculous this boost becomes—especially at Ascension Nine—it's to the ninth power! This... this is practically invincible!

And Ye Su...

...was the most ridiculous of them all.

Because...

...with his Transcendence Class, every time he ascends, it stacks three times.

If you calculate it...

...then by the time Ye Su reaches Ascension Nine, his final combat power will be expressed to the 27th power!

(Current setting; subject to change as the story unfolds.)

"You're just a native, yet you can use Heavens Will Strike? Tell me, which race are you?"

The purple-skinned big man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted loudly.

"Human Race."

"Human Race?"

The purple-skinned big man's brow furrowed.

The power of the Human Race in the universe wasn't weak, but it hadn't reached the level of the Peak races either.

This guy's Aptitude was already off the charts.

Heavens Will Strike was something most people only encountered at Ascension Three.

Ascension Three are called Star Slashers precisely because they can touch Heavens Will Strike.

Could it be...

...that behind this guy is some Great Clan of the Human Race?

This method of using a Mutated Planet to nurture core clan members was very common.

But—if that were the case...

...there should be a Human Race big shot watching over things here.

Could it be...

...that he's a native Human?

Holy sh*t.

This talent?!

However—before the purple-skinned man could think further...

...behind him, pillars of light had already begun to ignite.

Wan Chun and Lu Yiyi had opened the Ascension Path.

"Oh no!"

Ye Su thought to himself.

He had intended to take a gamble and test the power of the cataclysm, but Lu Yiyi had seized the opportunity.

She was going to promote and leave!

Thinking of this, Ye Su repeatedly signaled the purple-skinned man with his eyes.

Hey, I'm not stopping you anymore, go on.

Shut down their Light Arrays.

The purple-skinned man looked over.

Hmm?

Is he threatening me not to disturb them?

Fine.

With him possessing Heavens Will Strike, I really have no chance of stopping them from absorbing the timing.

In that case...

...I'll leave as well.

Having made up his mind...

...he also opened his Light Array.

Ye Su saw this.

It just...

It just felt like...

I really want to curse, I swear!

Well.

I really can't stop them now!

Some things are just meant to be— "Hehe."

"Ye Su, I owe you for this. If anything comes up, find me on the spirit net."

Lu Yiyi laughed.

With the timing of four planets, she could promote as she pleased!

The Wang Clan wouldn't come to disturb them; they already intended to let party a leave.

In fact, they would even escort them.

If the timing wasn't enough, they'd find a way to provide some for them.

"Ye Su, I also owe you for this. I'll add you on the spirit net."

Wan Chun said.

"Kid, I'll remember you."

The purple-skinned big man said.

A native who could use Heavens Will Strike at Ascension Level Two.

Impressive.

After returning, he'd find a way to see if he could snatch him away from the Ghost Clan.

Ye Su's eye twitched.

So.

Did things mess up, or did they work out?

Ascension.

Things change in an instant.

There are many plotters, but very few ultimately get the answer they want.

Heaven's will is hard to defy!

Soon.

The three party a's left just like that.

They left very suddenly.

Only the natives and the Wang Clan remained on the battlefield.

And then—the war grew even more vicious!

Ister and Gust were in high spirits.

They had sent party a away.

Now, it was time to kill the Wang Clan leader of Lava Hell.

It would be a double blessing!

Ye Su knew Heavens Will Strike.

Heaven is on my side!

Jie jie jie!

At this moment, Ye Su scratched his head.

His brain was about to fry from overthinking.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down;

'Don't panic.'

'The war is still going on.'

'The two Wang Clan leaders combined can temporarily suppress Lava Hell.'

'But Lava Hell can't actually be killed off.'

'So—'

"Cui Hu, open your Light Arrays quickly!"

Ye Su suddenly snapped to his senses and shouted.

Cui Hu and the others froze for a moment.

Then they immediately opened their Light Arrays!

One pillar of light after another rose into the sky.

They began their promotion.

Ister's brow furrowed.

Promotion?

At a time like this?

Should it help?

The timing was there, but for geographical advantage and human harmony power, they would probably need the Wang Clan to lend a hand.

Ister looked at Ye Su.

It still felt that it should help.

This process was like a trade.

The Wang Clan would help them promote.

And Ye Su would use Heavens Will Strike to help Ister kill the Outpost Leader of the Lava Hell Wang Clan!

Very fair!

Therefore...

...help!

Cui Hu and the others were not prepared for this.

But once the Light Arrays actually opened, their scalps went numb.

It seemed...

...it seemed the conditions weren't right!

The timing was sufficient.

But as for the other things—

The Wang Clan entered the fray.

They immediately supplemented the geographical advantage and human harmony power.

They had been selling timing for countless years; this sort of thing was child's play to them.

Cui Hu and the others were stunned.

The next second, they felt that all conditions had matured.

The Wang Clan was acting as their guarantor.

This was the treatment given to party a!

It would be hard for Cui Hu and the others to fail even if they wanted to.

Just like that.

Without any danger, Cui Hu, Mo Xiaoyu, Ying Si, and the others promoted directly.

Of course—there was also a sneaky one among them.

That was Shanjun!

Shanjun was hunkered down in the territory near the Elf Planet.

It actually snatched a chance.

Under the deterrence of Ye Su's Heavens Will Strike...

...it actually managed to pull it off!

"Captain Ye, I've be—"

Mo Xiaoyu shouted happily, but her words stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

Because.

Ye Su, who had been deterring everyone from high in the sky...

...suddenly had his aura dissipate entirely, and he fell straight down, his presence incredibly weak!

"What? This—"

"Heavens Will Backlash! A native being able to use Heavens Will Strike was fishy from the start!"

Gust said.

Meanwhile, Mo Xiaoyu had already caught Ye Su in mid-air.

A massive amount of vitality poured out.

But she was shocked to find...

...that Ye Su had gathered all of his vitality within his Dantian.

In that moment of her shock, Ye Su secretly gave her a wink—Mo Xiaoyu's mindset shifted instantly.

After her initial shock...

...she actually burst into loud wailing.

She shouted with a sob;

"Cui Hu, Ying Si!"

Cui Hu, Ying Si, and the others were scared out of their wits!

No one else had any problems.

But Ye Su was the one who was failing!

"Quick, go, leave this place!"

Cui Hu said to Ying Si.

Ying Si didn't hesitate for a second.

The Qin Formation Legion erupted with power, carrying Ye Su as they charged straight toward Blue Star.

War?

What did this war have to do with them?

Absolutely nothing could be allowed to happen to Ye Su.

Once he had a problem, the entire landscape of Blue Star would change.

Ister watched the departing Great Xia people.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Before it could even react...

...Lava Hell came back to life.

Earlier, when Ye Su was deterring the whole field, those Ascenders and the Wang Clan leaders of Lava Hell had all vanished.

I'll be damned.

You, a native, know how to use Heavens Will Strike?

If I can't afford to provoke you, can't I at least hide?

But now looking at it, you, a native, playing with Heavens Will Strike?

You're just courting death.

We're back out again!

Come on.

Hit me!

"Damn, we can't fight this!"

Veins bulged on Ister's forehead.

Without even saying a word to Gust, it turned and left!
