The pair swiftly advanced.
Soon,
Whoosh! Another alien race genius charged toward them, his killing intent preceding his arrival.
This time, Jiang Ye didn't immediately intervene.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Liu Shishi stepped forward, engaging the enemy in a fierce clash.
Her strength had indeed grown formidable, at least doubling since two months prior. The abundance of opportunities Jiang Ye had provided hadn't gone to waste.
Boom!
Liu Shishi and the alien race genius exchanged lightning-fast blows, each strike echoing with thunderous force.
After several dozen seconds,
Liu Shishi unleashed her ultimate move, piercing the alien race genius through the chest and finally defeating her opponent.
Huff! Huff!
"Junior Brother," Liu Shishi said, panting slightly as she approached Jiang Ye. "How was that? Not bad, right?"
"Impressive," Jiang Ye said with a faint smile. "You're starting to look like a true senior sister."
"What are you saying? Is that really a compliment?" Liu Shishi rolled her eyes playfully, but couldn't hide the delight on her face.
She had finally proven herself to Jiang Ye.
It felt incredibly satisfying.
Jiang Ye paid no attention to Liu Shishi's thoughts.
His gaze swept across the battlefield.
"Strange, where are those two from earlier?" Jiang Ye frowned slightly.
He had previously sensed two exceptionally brilliant beams of light.
This meant there were undoubtedly two formidable experts hidden within the Myriad Spirits Mountain Range, their power far surpassing that of the others.
But now,
Jiang Ye scanned the battlefield and found no alien race warriors with exceptionally high combat power.
Are they concealing their true strength? A thought flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.
To possess such overwhelming power yet deliberately conceal it...
Such individuals were far more terrifying than the likes of Yan Yi and Dong Huang, whom Jiang Ye had encountered before.
For Jiang Ye,
No matter how formidable an enemy's methods or demeanor might seem, they were never truly to be feared.
But if the enemy lurked in the shadows, baring their fangs, it was time to be wary. Such foes would be far more formidable and difficult to deal with.
"Hiding, are they?" Jiang Ye scoffed.
Anyone else might have been at a loss.
But Jiang Ye?
"Perceptive Insight." A glint flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes, and in the next instant, dazzling beams of light erupted across the battlefield.
Jiang Ye's gaze swept rapidly across the entire area.
In a single moment.
"There." Jiang Ye had already pinpointed the location of the two figures.
Two intensely bright beams of light.
One revealed a dark-skinned youth concealed within the void, seemingly waiting for something.
The other illuminated a red-haired girl engaged in leisurely combat with others, clearly holding back her full strength.
"Hei Tianjue?"
"And the other one is Gu Li?" Jiang Ye recognized them instantly.
He had encountered Hei Tianjue before.
As for Gu Li, though they had never met, the distinctive traits of the Heavenly Fire Civilization were unmistakable:
Fiery red horns sprouting from her head.
Though Gu Li's horns were subtle, Jiang Ye's keen eyes easily detected them.
These two have been concealing their true strength all along, Jiang Ye thought.
Why? He couldn't fathom their motives.
Jiang Ye had no time to ponder further. Hei Tianjue and Gu Li were already dangerously close to the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal—closer than he was!
"Unleash your full power and seize the opportunity," Jiang Ye telepathically urged Liu Shishi.
"Understood," Liu Shishi replied instantly.
Jiang Ye moved like lightning, pulling Liu Shishi forward with him.
Whoosh!
His spear swept horizontally, surging with stellar energy, tearing through the air in all directions. The terrifying force made the very ground tremble.
An alien race genius stepped forward to intercept, but in the next instant—
Boom! The spear's energy erupted, unleashing a Spear Art Divine Resonance that tore through the prodigy's chest.
Blood splattered everywhere!
"What?"
"One-hit kill?"
"How could there be such a massive gap in strength?" The surrounding alien race geniuses stared in disbelief.
They were all top-tier geniuses, having survived countless trials to reach this place.
Logically, there shouldn't be such a vast gap between their abilities.
But the scene unfolding before them left them pale with shock.
"Get out of my way!"
"Those who block me shall die!" Jiang Ye roared, his long spear flashing like a war god's weapon, unstoppable by any foe.
The surrounding alien races retreated, unwilling to face his overwhelming might.
Jiang Ye's spear technique was simply too dominant!
Even those with invincible dao bones dared not approach.
Under this relentless pressure, Jiang Ye quickly led Liu Shishi, leaving the others far behind.
They rapidly closed in on the area where the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal lay.
Ten thousand meters.
Five thousand meters.
Three thousand meters.
With his Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivation fully unleashed, Jiang Ye's speed was astonishing.
In mere seconds, they had completely entered the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal's domain.
Buzz! An overwhelmingly potent wave of spiritual essence swept through the area.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Ye's body shuddered.
"Hmm?!"
"My True God Manual?" Jiang Ye's heart stirred, followed by overwhelming shock.
Under the influence of that spiritual essence fluctuation, the True God Manual began to circulate on its own.
"This is indeed a top-tier opportunity that can enhance cultivation methods!" Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with excitement. "Such an opportunity will greatly aid my cultivation of the True God Manual!"
The Myriad Spirits Black Crystal was fundamentally different from other Fourth-Tier A-Grade Opportunities.
While other Fourth-Tier A-Grade Opportunities could only elevate Jiang Ye's life level, the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal...
With just a trace of spiritual essence fluctuation, it had already caused the True God Manual to circulate on its own. If he were to consume it directly, what terrifying effects would it unleash?
Jiang Ye's anticipation grew.
Whoosh!
Jiang Ye transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, shooting forward.
But just then—
Swish! A terrifying sword light materialized.
The sword qi, astonishingly sharp, suddenly swept past Jiang Ye's side, slashing toward Liu Shishi.
Where the sword qi passed, the air seemed to split apart. Its power was enough to threaten even peak fourth-breakthrough experts.
"Hmm?" Jiang Ye reacted instantly, recognizing that the sword qi was far beyond Liu Shishi's capabilities to withstand.
"Break!"
Jiang Ye's figure flashed forward, his long spear thrusting out like lightning, its tip colliding directly with the sword qi.
Clang!
This wasn't a head-on clash, but a glancing blow.
The sword qi was weakened by more than half and deflected by Jiang Ye's strike, yet it retained a spiritual essence, continuing its trajectory toward Liu Shishi.
Liu Shishi's expression paled as she hastily raised her sword to defend.
The next moment...
Boom! Liu Shishi was sent flying backward, violently coughing up a mouthful of blood as her vital energy rapidly deteriorated.
One strike!
Liu Shishi had narrowly avoided grievous wounds.
Even after Jiang Ye's weakening blow, the sword qi remained lethal. Had it not been for his intervention, that single strike would have been enough to kill Liu Shishi outright.
"Gu Li?" Jiang Ye turned his gaze forward.
The attacker was Gu Li, the young woman from the Heavenly Fire Civilization.
"I didn't want to fight you," Gu Li said.
"But the Myriad Spirits Black Crystal must be mine," Gu Li said, blinking innocently.
"You're asking for death," Jiang Ye snorted coldly, immediately charging forward with his spear.
Whoosh!
His speed was terrifying, accelerating to twenty times the speed of sound in an instant, like a streak of light tearing through the air.
The long spear moved like a dragon!
The spear thrust directly into the void ahead of Gu Li.
Pfft! The void split open, revealing a pitch-black figure.
It was Hei Tianjue, who had been concealed in the void.
He had been hiding in the void, planning to observe the conflict between Jiang Ye and Gu Li, then swoop in to claim the spoils after they had exhausted themselves.
He never expected Jiang Ye's sudden spear strike to target him.
Pfft! Caught completely off guard, Hei Tianjue was pierced through by the spear.
"Impossible!"
"How did he find me?" Hei Tianjue's form was forced into the open, his face flashing with shock.
He had been hidden in the void, undetectable even by psychic power.
How had Jiang Ye discovered him?
This shouldn't be happening!
