A hundred miles from the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range, a dazzling Flowing Light descended from the heavens, hovering several hundred meters above the ground. Two figures materialized within it.
"Jiang Ye, what's wrong?" Liu Shishi asked, noticing Jiang Ye had stopped and quickly halting beside him.
"Hold on, let's observe first," Jiang Ye replied, his gaze fixed on the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range in the distance.
The Myriad Spirits Mountain Range comprised over a hundred Spirit-infused peaks, each with a unique shape. Some resembled Divine apes, others soaring cranes, and still others flying tigers—a myriad of forms that gave the range its name.
But to Jiang Ye's eyes, the mountain range now presented a completely different spectacle.
"Perceptive Insight," Jiang Ye murmured, his eyes flashing as he detected dozens of intensely radiant beams of light.
These weren't emanating from treasures, but from the life energy of powerful individuals.
"So, dozens of geniuses have already arrived?" Jiang Ye mused. Judging by the brilliance of the light, at least ten possessed invincible dao bones.
Two beams, however, shone with blinding intensity, clearly surpassing all others in strength.
Who are those two? Jiang Ye wondered, his mind racing.
The blinding radiance emanating from the two figures indicated their extraordinary power.
"Liu Shishi," Jiang Ye called out to the girl behind him, "there are many strong individuals in the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range. Do you plan to follow me or stay here?"
"Staying here would be safer for you."
Jiang Ye genuinely wished for a female teammate. After all, the 35% attack speed bonus from Beauty's Inquiry would be invaluable to him.
However, he wouldn't risk Liu Shishi's safety for such a benefit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Ye finished speaking, Liu Shishi declared firmly, "I want to follow you."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Ye asked, looking at her. "It will be very dangerous ahead."
"I know."
"But I've grown much stronger these past two months," Liu Shishi said earnestly, puffing out her cheeks slightly. "I won't hold you back."
She wanted to prove herself to Jiang Ye.
She wasn't a burden! She was a comrade who could fight alongside him.
"I can help you deal with some enemies too," Liu Shishi said, clenching her delicate fist.
Seeing the stubborn determination in the girl's eyes, Jiang Ye was taken aback.
He suddenly realized he might have overlooked something.
Even young girls have their pride.
"I believe in you."
"Then let's do it together," Jiang Ye said with a gentle smile. "I truly need your help."
"Spare me the formalities," Liu Shishi muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes.
Jiang Ye really needs her? she thought. I can't see it.
Jiang Ye fell silent for a moment. He really did need her!
But he didn't press the matter.
"Let's go."
No matter how strong the enemy was, Jiang Ye's current power was more than enough to handle them.
Whoosh!
Jiang Ye swiftly flew toward the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range, Liu Shishi in tow.
They quietly entered a secluded, uninhabited cave to make final preparations for the impending battle.
Time passed.
One by one, people began entering the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range. They moved with remarkable coordination, avoiding any clashes.
Upon entering the mountain range, each person quickly found a hidden spot to lie in wait.
An eerie silence blanketed the entire Myriad Spirits Mountain Range, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
The minutes ticked by.
Before long, two hours had passed.
The atmosphere within the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range had reached a suffocating peak.
At that very moment—
Whoosh!
A pillar of light shot skyward from the heart of the mountain range, unleashing an unparalleled surge of energy.
The radiant beam pierced through the clouds, accompanied by a series of awe-inspiring celestial phenomena.
In an instant, the sky blazed with ten thousand miles of radiant light, and a vast wave of spiritual essence swept outward like a tidal wave.
"The opportunity has ripened!"
"It's the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal!"
"Move!" Nearly a hundred geniuses within the mountain range opened their eyes simultaneously.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Powerful auras erupted into the sky as the geniuses surged outward, converging on the source of the opportunity.
"The opportunity is mine!"
Someone struck first, their sword flashing as they cleaved through the void with terrifying power.
"Get out of my way!" A blade of light materialized, colliding violently with the sword strike.
Both attacks shattered into fragments.
Those who had reached the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range were top-tier geniuses who had survived the rigorous trials of the three Star Rings.
Admittedly, some lucky individuals from the Third Star Ring had managed to enter this area purely through fortune.
Those who knew their limits wouldn't dare compete in the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range.
Only the strongest among the strong would venture here!
Even if they lacked an invincible dao bone, they possessed the power to fight.
"Kill!"
"Kill!" Each of these geniuses, immensely powerful, unleashed their deadliest techniques, vying for dominance.
The scene erupted into chaos.
Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi were caught in the fray.
"Die!" An alien race genius lunged at Liu Shishi.
This formidable warrior, nearly possessing an invincible dao bone, moved with terrifying speed, unleashing hundreds of blade strikes in an instant. The blade light surged like a tidal wave.
The converging blade strikes coalesced into a devastating attack, hurtling toward Liu Shishi.
Such was the ferocity of combat at the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough realm.
In less than half a second, the lethal strike erupted. A moment's hesitation meant certain death.
"Get lost," Jiang Ye snarled, his long spear moving even faster than the alien race genius.
Whoosh!
A single spear thrust pierced the sky, drawing upon boundless stellar energy. The spear's radiant arc split the heavens and earth.
Crack! The spear's radiance collided with the tidal wave of blades.
In an instant, Jiang Ye's spear tore through the wave of blades, its momentum undiminished as it slashed toward the alien race genius.
"What?"
"So strong?" The alien race genius's face twisted in shock. Having already defeated one opponent, he had believed his strength to be formidable.
Yet, upon encountering his second opponent, the disparity in power was staggering!
He had no time to dwell on this, as Jiang Ye's spear-light was already upon him.
"Damn it!" The alien race genius frantically activated his defensive measures, attempting to block the devastating strike.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The spear-light moved with lightning speed, instantly shattering his defensive techniques one after another before cleaving toward his head with irresistible force.
Pfft!
The long spear pierced straight through the alien's skull. As stellar energy surged through him, his entire body exploded into fragments.
"Too weak," Jiang Ye scoffed coldly.
Though it seemed to take a while to describe, the entire exchange had lasted less than a few seconds.
Having reached the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough in his life level, Jiang Ye's strength had undergone a fundamental transformation.
Against opponents at the same Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough, unless they possessed an invincible dao bone, he could eliminate them with a single spear strike!
As for the invincible dao bone?
A few more spear strikes would suffice.
"Kill!" Jiang Ye's figure blurred into an afterimage as he surged forward.
Liu Shishi followed closely behind, whispering through telepathy, "Jiang Ye, I could have handled that myself."
Jiang Ye paused briefly, then nodded. "Alright."
