Instantly,
Jiang Ye seemed to witness, through some mysterious perspective, scenes from Ji Bei's past as he practiced his blade arts and leg techniques.
Strange insights flooded Jiang Ye's consciousness.
This is...
Jiang Ye's eyes widened abruptly.
He realized these weren't ordinary insights, but rather the condensed essence of Ji Bei's entire life's cultivation, refined and compressed by the system.
Though fleeting,
the information contained within was immense.
For example, the insights into Ji Bei's lifelong mastery of the Nether River Blade Technique were all condensed into this brief moment.
What a pity.
If I cultivated blade arts, Jiang Ye shook his head with a wry smile, these insights might have greatly accelerated my progress.
Just as he thought this,
Hmm?
[ Scarlet Dusk Domain? ] Jiang Ye suddenly noticed the second achievement.
A new Domain unlocked? Jiang Ye stared at the achievement. "For every kill within one minute, all attributes increase by up to 10%?"
Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned.
Hiss!
He couldn't help but gasp.
If this ability were used in a large-scale battle, wouldn't it be utterly game-breaking?
One minute might seem short, but for someone at Jiang Ye's level, it was more than enough time to accomplish a great deal.
"Good."
Jiang Ye smiled.
"This battle wasn't fought in vain."
Not only had he gained numerous opportunities, but more importantly, he had unlocked two achievements!
Especially 'Scarlet Dusk'. If Jiang Ye hadn't killed Ji Bei, he might never have unlocked it.
"Next..."
"Seclusion. I need to reach the quasi-fourth breakthrough before entering the Second Star Ring!" Jiang Ye thought to himself.
Whoosh! His figure blurred.
In the next instant, he transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, soaring toward the distant horizon.
Meanwhile, as Jiang Ye sought a place for seclusion...
Area 019.
"Ji Bei is dead."
"He was killed so quickly?" Kidd and the red-haired youth stared at the projection, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief.
Even Kidd hadn't expected it to end so swiftly.
"Ji Bei's last strength assessment didn't meet the standard for an invincible dao bone."
"But according to the clan elders, he was considered the strongest beneath those with invincible dao bones," the red-haired youth said incredulously. "Most importantly, he was at the quasi-fourth breakthrough!"
"And he was killed just like that?"
Kidd was momentarily stunned.
After a moment, he took a deep breath. "My decision was correct after all. That Blue Star genius is not to be trifled with."
"Heh."
"Ji Bei, that fool, mocked me as a waste? In the end, it's Kidd who's laughing last."
"However," Kidd said, his eyes gleaming, "I heard the clan requested permission from the Heavenly Fire Civilization to send an invincible dao bone to hunt down that Blue Star genius. Jiang Ye likely won't leave the Star Realm Sea alive."
He admitted Jiang Ye's strength was formidable.
But against the Heavenly Fire Civilization's invincible dao bone, it would likely prove insufficient.
The Heavenly Fire Civilization's power far surpassed anything a civilization below the first-tier could imagine.
Fire Ember Civilization.
Inside a colossal palace:
"Bastard!"
"Damn him!" King Beize slammed his fist on the table, his terrifying aura erupting violently.
The entire royal palace fell into deathly silence.
"Ji Bei was one of our clan's most exceptional geniuses," King Beize lamented, his heart aching. "He was our most promising candidate to ascend to invincible dao bone!"
Invincible dao bone was never a fixed innate talent.
Anyone with sufficient combat prowess could ascend at any time.
Ji Bei's last strength assessment had fallen just short of qualifying.
Once he achieved his fourth breakthrough, his chances of success would have been high.
But now, he too had fallen at Jiang Ye's hands.
"Your Majesty, please calm yourself," Old Man Canghai sighed softly. "That Blue Star genius is improving at an alarming rate."
"In just three months, he's gone from the early stages of the third breakthrough to its peak."
"Even the invincible dao bones in my clan couldn't match this speed," Old Man Canghai sighed repeatedly.
Jiang Ye's potential sent shivers down his spine.
The Fire Ember Civilization, a 0.8-tier civilization, wasn't significantly more advanced in martial dao than Blue Star.
Canghai had never witnessed such rapid growth.
"Precisely because of this," King Beize said coldly, "we must eliminate him! This child is highly likely to reach the ninth breakthrough in the future."
"Our Fire Ember Civilization has already clashed with the Blue Star Civilization."
"If the Blue Star Civilization produces an invincible dao bone at the ninth breakthrough," King Beize's eyes turned icy, "it will be disastrous for us."
Hearing this, Old Man Canghai's expression grew even more worried.
"King Beize," Canghai said anxiously, "can the two invincible dao bones from the Heavenly Fire Civilization kill him?"
"They will."
"Yan Yi and Dong Huang both possess the ability to kill him," King Beize said grimly. "Especially Yan Yi—his power is unparalleled."
"If he's willing to act, the Blue Star genius is as good as dead."
King Beize gazed into the distant sky, a flicker of anticipation in his icy eyes.
First Star Ring, Area 016.
A gloomy youth with jet-black skin and a vertical eye mark on his forehead stared at the ranking projection before him.
"Jiang Ye... second place now?"
"Excellent." Hei Ming narrowed his eyes. "I hope you can stay alive long enough to keep my possession safe."
"I'll be retrieving it myself soon."
Area 015.
Inside a hidden cavern within a snow-capped mountain, Jiang Ye sat cross-legged in meditation.
"This location is close enough to the Black Coast," he thought to himself. "If it opens, I'll sense it immediately."
Jiang Ye had always kept the civilization key at the forefront of his mind.
"Now..."
"It's time to cultivate."
Whoosh! With a wave of his hand, a series of opportunity treasures materialized before him, each radiating a faint, ethereal glow.
The most dazzling of these was a crimson-purple crystal, shimmering with iridescent light and occasionally displaying fleeting illusions of the sun and moon.
This was the Third-Tier A-Grade opportunity Jiang Ye had obtained earlier in the Corridor of Civilizations.
"Now, I can focus on achieving my breakthrough here," he thought.
"Besides refining this opportunity," Jiang Ye mused, "I also need to quickly advance the True God Manual to the third breakthrough peak, or even the quasi-fourth breakthrough."
"Only then can I secure a decisive advantage in the Star Realm Sea."
Currently, Jiang Ye's qi vortexes lacked only one more to reach the third breakthrough peak.
This final step would be no easy feat.
The seven qi vortexes couldn't operate independently; they needed to connect and merge into a unified whole to truly reach the third breakthrough peak.
Once achieved, Jiang Ye's control over stellar energy would ascend to a new level.
Enhanced by the True God Manual's cultivation method, his explosive power would multiply several times over.
"Let's begin." Jiang Ye swallowed the purplish-red crystal and settled into a meditative posture.
Gulp. The crystal dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth.
As a cool liquid flowed into his abdomen, a vast ocean of energy surged forth, instantly permeating his entire being.
"Is this an A-tier opportunity?"
"Such astonishing spiritual energy!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, his heart pounding. "Even with my current drug resistance, it's having an incredibly potent effect."
Jiang Ye could feel it.
As the energy spread through his body, his cells seemed to break free from their shackles once more, frantically absorbing it.
This was truly astonishing.
Over the past few months, Jiang Ye had consumed numerous opportunities, causing his drug resistance to skyrocket.
Under these circumstances, to still experience such a profound effect was beyond his wildest expectations.
"Refine it," Jiang Ye thought, wasting no time in beginning to refine the immense spiritual essence within him.
Whoosh~
Whoosh!
Jiang Ye's life level surged like a rising tide, gradually climbing higher and higher.
Time flowed on.
For the next period, Jiang Ye remained cross-legged in the snow mountain cave, never stepping outside.
He devoted himself entirely to cultivation.
No one knew the transformative changes he was undergoing.
Time passed swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, over twenty days had gone by.
