His words were a veiled reference to the many Fire Ember Clan geniuses he had killed. If the other party was truly a top genius of the Fire Ember Clan, they would undoubtedly be aware of this.
"Heh."
"Don't compare me to those fools," Ji Bei said, understanding Jiang Ye's meaning perfectly. "For me, the Divine-Tier Opportunity is all that matters."
"There are no invincible dao bones in the First Star Ring."
"But when we reach the Second and Third Star Rings, first-tier civilization invincible dao bones will inevitably appear," Ji Bei continued slowly. "They are incredibly powerful."
"Neither of us alone can hope to contend with those top geniuses."
"But if we join forces, even invincible dao bones can be slain," Ji Bei said with a smile.
He had indeed considered killing Jiang Ye.
But after secretly following him and witnessing Jiang Ye's terrifying speed, Ji Bei changed his mind.
As the Fire Ember Civilization's most exceptional dao bone genius, Ji Bei might be arrogant, but he was far from foolish.
He knew when to kill enemies and when to make friends.
"Do you think you can't defeat the invincible dao bone?" Jiang Ye asked, his gaze fixed on Ji Bei.
Through his Perceptive Insight, Jiang Ye could faintly sense an astonishing power hidden within Ji Bei's body.
At the dao bone level, Ji Bei was undoubtedly exceptionally strong.
At least, he far surpassed the likes of Rosen and Mina, whom Jiang Ye had previously encountered.
"Of course not," Ji Bei replied with a faint smile. "I have confidence in myself. It's just... invincible dao bones vary in strength."
"Some invincible dao bones can barely withstand the transcendent domain."
"But others possess the Absolute Domain, making them truly capable of battling transcendents."
"Absolute Domain?" Jiang Ye stared at him.
"The Absolute Domain is the strongest domain within the Dao Bone Domain," Ji Bei explained. "It rivals certain Transcendent Aptitudes."
"Those who possess the Absolute Domain are inevitably among the elite of invincible dao bones."
Jiang Ye remained silent, studying Ji Bei intently.
Ji Bei continued, "Take Yan Yi and Dong Huang from the Heavenly Fire Civilization, for example. They belong to this category and can all fight transcendents."
"If we encounter someone like that," Ji Bei said, shrugging with disarming candor, "even I would find it troublesome."
Jiang Ye's eyes flickered. "Yan Yi and Dong Huang from the Heavenly Fire Civilization?"
Both names ranked among the top ten on the bounty list. Yan Yi's bounty had consistently remained close to his own.
"The Heavenly Fire Civilization and the Fire Ember Civilization... could there be a connection?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but speculate, noticing Ji Bei's deliberate mention of these two figures. After all, the names of these two major civilizations bore a striking resemblance.
He looked up. "Do you know Yan Yi and Dong Huang?" Jiang Ye asked, studying Ji Bei's expression.
"I'm hardly qualified to know them," Ji Bei replied with a self-deprecating smile. "Yan Yi is a personally trained disciple of a Divine being from the Heavenly Fire Civilization. His status is beyond the comprehension of civilizations below the first-tier."
"As for Dong Huang..."
"Though not a personally trained disciple, he still studies under a Divine being, mastering secret techniques reserved for the gods."
"Their combined strength could crush nearly everyone hereโincluding you and me," Ji Bei added with a faint smile.
Jiang Ye's heart tightened.
As a top-tier genius with a Dao Bone Grade, Ji Bei should have been supremely confident in his own abilities. Why would he speak such words?
It seemed...
The reputations of Yan Yi and Dong Huang had a profound impact on the Fire Ember Civilization.
Though Jiang Ye had never faced them personally, his wariness toward the two men intensified.
"Your Excellency," Ji Bei said with a faint smile, "after all this talk, what is your decision?"
"If we join forces, even Yan Yi and Dong Huang wouldn't stand a chance against us," Ji Bei added, his gaze fixed on Jiang Ye.
Jiang Ye pondered for a moment.
"No need," he replied. "I prefer to work alone." He shook his head, unwilling to fully trust the other man.
Toward alien civilizations, no matter how friendly they appeared, Jiang Ye remained vigilant.
Moreover...
The Fire Ember Civilization? They already had a history of conflict.
"Heh."
"No matter," Ji Bei said, his smile unwavering. "Since Your Excellency declines, consider my words wasted."
"I hope to see you in the Second Star Ring."
As his voice faded, the void distorted, and Ji Bei's figure slowly dissolved into nothingness.
Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes, said nothing, and turned to fly into the distance.
Suddenly,
Whoosh! A long spear materialized in Jiang Ye's hand, and he swung it backward in a sweeping arc, unleashing a dazzling spear flash.
Clang!!
A deafening clash echoed through the air.
Jiang Ye's spear seemed to collide with an invisible weapon in the Void Domain, sending sparks flying.
Whoosh! A terrifying shockwave erupted, sweeping outward in all directions with visible force, obliterating every tree within a several-kilometer radius.
This was no accidental collision.
It was a clash of lethal techniques, a true exchange of killing blows!
"Heh heh."
"Your intuition is remarkably sharp, my friend." The white-robed figure materialized from the Void Domain once more, his voice tinged with mockery. "I must commend you."
Jiang Ye glared coldly at his opponent.
Intuition?
Of course not. His Perceptive Insight had never been deactivated.
He had sensed the figure's lingering presence. The moment Jiang Ye turned his back, the figure had struck with ruthless precision.
Had Jiang Ye's Perceptive Insight not been active, that strike might have been fatal.
"Weren't we supposed to avoid unnecessary conflict?" Jiang Ye asked, his eyes burning with icy fury.
"Since you refuse to join forces," Ji Bei said with a faint smile, "our next meeting will be as enemies. In that case, I might as well eliminate you here and now. I have no intention of giving you the chance to grow any stronger."
With those words, Ji Bei's figure vanished into the void once more.
Boom!
In an instant, a terrifying killing intent surged toward Jiang Ye, freezing the very air around him.
Simultaneously, an invisible wave emanated outward, plunging Jiang Ye into a pitch-black domain.
"An Innate Domain?" Jiang Ye's eyes turned cold. His opponent's abilities were truly formidable.
A pitch-black domain combined with Ji Bei's ability to merge with the voidโwho could withstand such a deadly combination? Even a true fourth breakthrough powerhouse would struggle to defend against it. A moment's carelessness could lead to injury or even death!
"Kill!"
Jiang Ye gripped his long spear tightly, unleashing his full power. Endless stellar energy surged from his six qi vortexes, flowing like a tidal wave through his twelve Star Meridians and pouring into the spear.
At the same moment, Jiang Ye activated his Myriad Manifestations Spear Domain, unleashing an invisible domain of his own.
Ancestor of the Spear Dao: You have pioneered a unique spearmanship, forming your exclusive Spear Dao Domain, the Myriad Manifestations Spear Domain. Within this domain, your spearmanship ignores opponents' physical defenses, inflicting massive true damage.
Whoosh!
A spear's radiance flashed across the sky, carrying terrifying power.
It clashed with Ji Bei's long saber!
Boom!!
