As Jiang Ye underwent the Starsea Empowerment,
In a spacious hall on the top floor of the Golden Palace,
A group of employees in uniform sat before the screens, continuously monitoring the trial footage from the Cosmic Divine Path.
Suddenly,
Beep! Beep! Beep! A piercing alarm blared through the hall.
"What's happening?"
"It's a legendary-grade difficulty warning!"
"Someone has triggered legendary-grade difficulty? Who is it?" The employees stared at the screens in astonishment.
Whoosh!
A figure in black suddenly appeared, exuding an overwhelming aura.
"Director Li," the employees rose in unison and bowed respectfully.
Had Jiang Ye been present, he would have recognized this black-clad figure as the Li Clan strongman he had encountered before:
Li Hao!
"Someone has actually triggered legendary-grade difficulty?" Li Hao turned his gaze to the main screen.
The screen displayed five participants undergoing Cosmic Certification trials.
One of their names was directly highlighted in red by the system.
"Jiang Ye? It's him?"
"He actually triggered the legendary-grade difficulty?" Li Hao was astonished.
"Jiang Ye? Who is that? I've never heard of him."
"You haven't heard of him? He's the champion of the Ten Schools League and recently challenged the Zhou Family's prodigy to a duel."
"That person? I vaguely recall hearing about his exploits. I never expected it to be him."
"Legendary-grade difficulty... only those with Transcendent Aptitude can trigger that, right?" The staff exchanged whispers.
The Cosmic Divine Path remained an enigma.
Within its trial spaces, the difficulty automatically adjusted to match the trial-taker's strength, ranging from normal to legendary.
Most participants were stuck at the normal grade. Even Class A students from White Dragon University could only trigger the rare grade.
Epic-grade trials were reserved for Dao Bone Heavenly Prides like Zhou Hong, Su Haiyue, and Chang Qixing.
Legendary-grade? Only transcendent beings could trigger that!
"Legendary-grade trials usually pit the participant against multiple top-tier geniuses who are one realm higher than them."
"Can Jiang Ye actually pass?" Li Hao watched the large screen intently.
Less than half a minute later...
"What?"
"He cleared it?" Li Hao stared at the screen in astonishment. "Legendary-grade difficulty, cleared in just half a minute?"
The Stellar Sea employees present erupted in murmurs.
Half a minute to clear.
This meant Jiang Ye had swept aside multiple opponents far stronger than himself in mere seconds!
Legendary-grade opponents weren't ordinary foes, but top-tier geniuses.
To kill them all in seconds? It was unbelievable.
"Compile the data." Li Hao tapped the large screen, compiling Jiang Ye's combat logs.
Soon, Jiang Ye's cultivation level, estimated strength, and other details were displayed.
"Cultivation: Late stage of the Third Breakthrough."
"Combat power nearing quasi-fourth breakthrough?" Li Hao stared at the screen, his heart pounding.
He remembered.
Two months ago, Jiang Ye hadn't yet reached the true late stage of the Third Breakthrough.
"This kid has grown several times stronger in two months." Li Hao marveled inwardly. "Even within the Li Clan, few could match such rapid progress."
"Your Highness, you'll regret this sooner or later." Li Hao sighed inwardly.
He was increasingly convinced that even if that young man couldn't defeat Zhou Xingkong in next year's Great Stellar War...
It was destined that he would grow into a top-tier powerhouse in the future.
In the star sea space...
Whoosh!
A dazzling golden-red tide surged down from above Jiang Ye's head, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens.
A torrent of life energy surged into his body.
"Absorb." Jiang Ye sat cross-legged, desperately absorbing the energy, his entire body becoming like a vortex.
Rumble!
As the cosmic energy poured in, thunderous roars erupted from within Jiang Ye, like avalanches.
His cells were transforming, the deepest code of his genes being rewritten.
His life level was undergoing a violent leap.
Time flowed on.
This Cosmic Blessing lasted for a full hour.
Suddenly...
Boom! A powerful aura erupted from Jiang Ye's body, rapidly ascending. There was no resistance, everything flowing as naturally as water finding its course.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed that threshold.
Boom!
A terrifying life aura burst forth completely, like a Proud Sun blooming in full glory, radiating its full brilliance.
At that moment...
Jiang Ye's Essence, Qi, and Spirit had all reached an unprecedented peak.
"Third Breakthrough Peak!"
"Finally, I've broken through." Jiang Ye's eyes snapped open, his pupils blazing with excitement.
Swish... The golden-red energy faded away.
The Cosmic Blessing had ended.
"I never expected..."
"To actually break through to the Third Breakthrough Peak here." Jiang Ye was overjoyed. "My life level was still far from ready."
Previously, Jiang Ye had obtained ten opportunities, including the Thunder Essence Spirit Nectar. However, apart from the nectar, the other nine were mostly C-tier and D-tier, providing only negligible improvements.
Therefore, Jiang Ye had sent most of them to his parents and Jiang Ting. As for the Thunder Essence Spirit Nectar? He had kept that one for himself.
Having already consumed it once, Jiang Ye knew that the second dose would likely have little significant effect. Still, it was a form of accumulation. Without those other opportunities, he might not have been able to break through as smoothly this time.
"The Cosmic Blessing," Jiang Ye mused, "not only enhances one's life level, but more importantly, it boosts martial dao potential."
"My physique has probably grown stronger," he thought, glancing at his status panel.
The physique displayed on the panel remained unchanged: Upper A-Tier Profound Physique.
"Perhaps it's still not enough to meet the standard for the Martial Fetus Holy Body," Jiang Ye thought, unconcerned. If a single Cosmic Blessing could transform him into a Martial Fetus Holy Body, that would be too absurd.
Just as Jiang Ye was lost in thought, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly rippled through the deep stellar sea, accompanied by a series of "Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Immediately after, several streaks of flowing light streaked across the void.
Whoosh!
They shot toward Jiang Ye from the depths of space.
Within seconds, the lights materialized before him:
Three golden-red orbs of light.
Soul-Guarding Lock x5
Vajra Bell x5
Energy Crystals x5
"What is this?" Jiang Ye asked in surprise. "An extra reward?"
He focused his gaze.
Above each of the three golden-red light clusters, a line of text appeared.
The text wasn't in the Blue Star Language, yet Jiang Ye could understand it:
Soul-Guarding Lock: Stabilizes the sea of consciousness and protects the divine soul. Can withstand sea of consciousness attacks from fourth breakthrough experts. Single-use only.
Vajra Bell: Fourth-tier treasure. Can withstand a full-power strike from a fourth breakthrough expert. Single-use only.
Energy Crystal: Fourth-tier treasure. Can unleash the power of a fourth breakthrough expert. Single-use only.
