Chapter 380: The Power of the Plain Skirt!

Stellar Domain!

　　Half-step Supreme Divine Dao Domain!

　　Above the Divine Dao Domain lies the Supreme Divine Dao Domain, and only those three Supreme Gods possess such a domain.

　　The reason the Star God was once called a super divine god was precisely because of this Stellar Domain of his, which is equivalent to a half-step Supreme Divine Dao Domain!

　　A half-step Supreme Divine Dao Domain can steadily suppress an ordinary divine god’s domain.

　　In just an instant, Ye Tianming forcibly brought the two of them, Shenqi included, into this Stellar Domain.

　　Witnessing this, Ling Shao immediately became guarded, as if facing a great enemy, while Shenqi beside him remained calm and composed.

　　Ye Tianming slowly closed his eyes, and in this moment, he clearly sensed hundreds of millions of stars, each one of which actually possessed life.

　　The cosmic river of stars, all things between heaven and earth!

　　All things have life!

　　In other words, just as he had once suspected, all things have life, all things are living beings.

　　Ye Tianming smiled, and with a gentle wave of his right hand, the stars instantly began to shimmer, as countless rays of starlight surged forth from this expanse of the universe.

　　Every star in the entire divine universe was under his control, and if his divine sense were powerful enough, he could expand even further outward.

　　In other words, the path of stars had absolutely no upper limit!

　　Jin Qing and the others were also stunned by Ye Tianming at this moment, staring in disbelief at the entire cosmic river of stars. In this instant, they felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Ye Tianming, a pressure that was no less than the divine eye pressure from before!

　　A god!

　　And what truly made them feel terror was that this person was Young Master Ye! Young Master Ye was so young…… and had already cultivated the Star God’s lifelong knowledge to such a level!

　　Simply monstrous!

　　Of course, what they felt even more was excitement.

　　The rebellion had hope!

　　No wonder they dared to rebel.

　　Damn, if I had that kind of talent, if I had that kind of strength, who would I let push me around??

　　Ye Tianming withdrew his gaze and looked toward Shenqi in the distance. Shenqi smiled, “I never expected that Young Master Ye could actually cultivate the Star God Dao to such a level. Not inferior to the Star God at all, no, in certain aspects, Young Master Ye has done even better than the Star God!”

　　Ye Tianming shook his head, “The Star God is stronger than me. I only developed some of my own ideas on his foundation. Without him, for me to create a Star God Dao from scratch……”

　　At this point he paused, then added, “Actually, it doesn’t seem that difficult!”

　　Ling Shao’s expression froze. What the hell?

　　Everyone who heard Ye Tianming’s words was also left speechless.

　　”Ha ha!”

　　Shenqi suddenly burst out laughing, “Young Master Ye, those words of yours, I believe them!”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “I know.”

　　As he said this, he suddenly looked toward Ling Shao, “You, step outside!”

　　Ling Shao’s expression turned a little ugly. This was clearly saying he wasn’t qualified to participate in a battle of this level…… but he said nothing, turned around, and left.

　　Indeed not qualified!

　　A person still needs to know their place. Otherwise, the outcome would be the same as that of Huai Qing.

　　After Ling Shao withdrew, Ye Tianming looked at Shenqi, “You don’t seem to have very strong hostility toward me.”

　　Shenqi shook his head, “Why would I have hostility? You and I simply have different beliefs, there’s no deep grudge between us. On the contrary, to be honest, I actually quite admire you.”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “Competing against someone like you, I find it quite interesting too. Unlike that Yang Jia…… forget it, let’s not mention him.”

　　Not going to lie, he was actually quite wary of Yang Jia.

　　There were far too many people behind him.

　　Shenqi suddenly said seriously, “Young Master Ye, what you intend to do is an extremely, extremely dangerous thing. Do you understand?”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “I understand, I understand it all.”

　　Shenqi said, “But you’re still going to do it!”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “Yes.”

　　Shenqi looked at him, “I cannot allow you to do that.”

　　”Ha ha!”

　　Ye Tianming also laughed, “I don’t need your permission.”

　　With that, he suddenly thrust out his hand with great force.

　　Boom!

　　Suddenly, within the endless cosmic river of stars, the stars began to fall!

　　In this moment, the entire divine universe’s river of stars began to seethe. Not only that, the Sentient Beings Tablet at this moment also instantly completed its condensation, as streams of terrifying faith power surged forth from within it.

　　And from Ye Tianming’s body, boundless sword intent also surged out.

　　Order Dao!

　　Star God Dao!

　　Sword Dao!

　　A true fusion of three daos!

　　One by one, stars fell into the Stellar Domain, and the terrifying pressure caused the entire Stellar Domain to seethe.

　　Just then, Shenqi slowly spread open his right hand, then gently lifted it upward.

　　A talisman bearing a strange tree-like pattern flew out from his palm!

　　Boom!

　　In just an instant, that tree-patterned talisman erupted with a terrifying curtain of light, blocking every single falling star!

　　Star after star slammed into that curtain of light, producing a series of deafening thunderous booms.

　　Yet that curtain of light stood immovable as a mountain, without even a single crack.

　　But just then, Ye Tianming suddenly spread open his palm, and the Tianming Sword in his hand transformed directly into a beam of sword light that shot into the sky, stabbing fiercely toward that tree-patterned talisman.

　　Incredibly fast, in the blink of an eye, the Tianming Sword had already stabbed hard into that tree-patterned talisman.

　　Boom!

　　A burst of sword light erupted from that tree-patterned talisman, and some cracks appeared on the tree-patterned talisman!

　　At the same time, the countless rays of starlight suddenly converged into a massive star sword, and as Ye Tianming gently pressed his right hand downward, that giant sword plummeted and stabbed fiercely into that curtain of light!

　　Almost simultaneously, the Tianming Sword erupted with a brilliant sword light and slammed hard into that tree-patterned talisman!

　　Attacked from both inside and outside!

　　Bang!

　　Under the combined assault of the massive star sword and the Tianming Sword, that talisman violently shuddered, and the entire curtain of light began to develop countless cracks. As the Tianming Sword erupted with another burst of sword light, the entire curtain of light shattered with a thunderous crash.

　　After the barrier disappeared, the Tianming Sword suddenly merged with the massive star sword, and in the next moment, a beam of stellar sword light slashed fiercely toward Shenqi in the distance!

　　Shenqi’s gaze was very calm. He simply extended one finger and lightly tapped, and with that tap, the Tianming Sword wrapped in countless stellar forces was directly frozen in place, unable to move.

　　Seeing this, Jin Qing and the others’ expressions immediately darkened.

　　And just then, Shenqi’s finger suddenly retracted, clenching into a fist, and then he threw a punch.

　　Boom!

　　Countless rays of starlight shattered, and the Tianming Sword was sent flying directly. By the time it flew back to Ye Tianming, the Tianming Sword had already cracked.

　　And in this moment, all the stellar power was reduced entirely to ash.

　　Not only that, the Stellar Domain also began to crumble inch by inch at this moment.

　　Seeing this, Jin Qing and the others were all horrified.

　　What the hell?

　　Guan Nan was also staring at Shenqi at this moment. Regarding this new god of extremely mysterious origins, she had naturally investigated, but about the other party’s past, she knew nothing.

　　And now, after witnessing the other party’s strength, she was also deeply shaken.

　　This level of strength…..was clearly beyond what an ordinary divine god could match!

　　In the shattered void, Ye Tianming reached out his hand, and the Tianming Sword flew back into his grasp. In the next moment, the Tianming Sword returned to normal.

　　In the distance, Shenqi raised his head to look at Ye Tianming and smiled, “Young Master Ye, the Star God at his peak…… would not be my match either.”

　　Ye Tianming nodded, “I could feel that.”

　　Shenqi did not make another move. He looked down at the masses of living beings below, “You want to make all living beings equal. This will break the balance of the world and does not conform to the laws of the Great Dao. What you are doing is not defying the gods, but defying the Dao!”

　　Defying the Dao!

　　Ye Tianming smiled, “Why can’t one defy the Dao?”

　　Shenqi looked at him, “This world needs balance. Balance is the foundation upon which all things in the world continue to exist. The laws of the Great Dao sustain this balance. Once balance is broken, it will trigger endless chaos and disaster. The equality of all living beings that you pursue, while seemingly beautiful, is in reality an overturning of the natural order.”

　　”Balance?”

　　Ye Tianming laughed, “What you call balance is nothing more than a state in which the oppression and exploitation of the weak by the strong is maintained. You establish rules, establish order, establish laws…… but do you yourselves abide by them? No, you don’t, yet you demand that those below you abide by them.”

　　With that, he shook his head, “Whether it’s the order established by the Ancestral God, or the order later established by the Guanxuan Sword Master, they all pursued balance, maintaining each class so that order could be sustained…… but what was the result? The result was that after a certain period of time, the entire order would completely lose its original meaning, and the powerful ones at the top would begin to set rules to oppress the weak ones below……”

　　Shenqi stared at Ye Tianming, “That is the law, that is human nature. Any order has its rise and fall.”

　　Ye Tianming smiled, “Those at the top naturally love this kind of balance, love it immensely. Not only do they love it, they will exhaust every means to maintain it…… but have you ever thought about those below? Why should those below have to abide by this ‘balance’ of yours?”

　　After a brief silence, Shenqi said, “Young Master Ye, since the birth of the universe…..even in that very first universe, they could not escape this law. What law? It is that this world is inevitably unfair, inevitably divided into ranks and tiers. Where there are the strong, there will inevitably be the weak. No one can achieve true fairness……”

　　Ye Tianming said, “That is because the reform was not thorough enough. Throughout history, all reforms have been a case of changing the form but not the substance, never thorough enough. Those who slay the dragon ultimately become the dragon themselves. Why is that? Because you believe balance is necessary, and therefore you allow various classes and inequalities to exist. But!”

　　At this point, he looked directly at Shenqi, “Have you ever asked those at the very bottom, asked them whether they need this kind of balance??”

　　Shenqi said, “Once they become strong, new weak ones will appear, and they will become the new dragon. So even if you help them overthrow the existing order, in the end, once they become the new order, this world will be exactly the same as before, with no change whatsoever!”

　　Ye Tianming suddenly asked, “Then isn’t it also a law of the Dao that this world needs people to constantly resist, constantly have people come to bring renewal……”

　　Shenqi was slightly taken aback, then said with some astonishment, “Young Master Ye, I always thought you were simply defying the Dao. I never expected that you first follow the Dao, and only then defy it.”

　　Ye Tianming suddenly appeared on the great path carved out by the Guanxuan Sword Master, and he said slowly, “Whether following the Dao or defying it, I hand this choice to all living beings. If today the living beings follow me in defying the Dao and breaking the balance, then I, Ye Tianming, will be the one to lead the way, defying the Dao together with them. If they are unwilling to break this balance and wish to continue abiding by this order, then I, Ye Tianming, will admit defeat today and destroy the Sentient Beings Tablet myself!”

　　With that, he suddenly crouched down, slowly placing his right hand on the great path carved out by the Guanxuan Sword Master.

　　He slowly closed his eyes.

　　Shenqi narrowed his eyes slightly, “You intend to break the Ancestral God’s seal! Do you know what this world would become without that seal?”

　　Ye Tianming raised his head to look at Shenqi, with a hint of madness, “I don’t care what you and the Ancestral God think. I want to know what the living beings think. Let them choose for themselves!!”

　　Shenqi stared at him, “You cannot break the Ancestral God’s seal……”

　　Ye Tianming smiled. He pressed his right hand down with sudden force.

　　Boom!

　　That great path suddenly began to seethe.

　　On that great path, Ye Tianming sensed that familiar strand of power.

　　Why familiar?

　　Because the mysterious power within the Guanxuan Sword Master’s order was precisely the power of that elder sister in the plain skirt!

　　Ye Tianming suddenly took a deep breath, “Help me!”

　　With that, he heaved upward with all his might
