Jiang Ye moved with lightning speed.
In mere seconds, he pierced through layers of clouds and arrived at the entrance to the Third Star Ring.
Here, another colossal vortex swirled, resembling a Great Sun radiating boundless light across the land.
"The Third Star Ring."
"Can I enter?" Jiang Ye approached the vortex.
The process was surprisingly smooth.
He felt no resistance whatsoever.
But just as Jiang Ye was about to step into the vortex, subtitles suddenly appeared:
Time remaining until the Third Star Ring opens: 59 days, 23 hours, 10 seconds.
Immediately afterward, an invisible barrier blocked his path, preventing him from advancing further.
"It won't open for another two months?"
Seeing the subtitles, Jiang Ye shook his head with a wry smile.
His earlier assumptions had been too naive.
For the next two months, he would have to remain in the Second Star Ring.
Jiang Ye wasn't particularly discouraged.
He had approached this with a trial-and-error mindset, so failure meant no real loss.
Moreover, Zone 3001 of the Second Star Ring was the most prosperous region in the entire ring, likely brimming with astonishing treasures.
"Where should we go next?" Jiang Ye opened the map.
Whoosh! A massive surge of light converged, projecting a completely refreshed map.
"The nearest opportunity zone."
"Blackwind Valley?" Jiang Ye memorized the name.
A moment later,
Swoosh! A streak of light tore through the sky, plunging toward the vast, desolate land below.
Within a mysterious space in the Star Realm Sea,
"Thank goodness the Third Star Ring has a time limit for entry," the short, black-robed figure sighed in relief. "Otherwise, things would have spiraled out of control."
"That Jiang Ye is truly full of surprises," the tall, black-robed figure marveled. "If he had entered the Third Star Ring directly, everyone else would have panicked."
The Star Realm Sea was designed to filter out top-tier geniuses.
By progressing through the First, Second, and Third Star Rings, only the most exceptional talents would ultimately qualify to enter the Divine Temple.
If someone were to enter the Third Star Ring,
everyone in the other zones would receive the news simultaneously.
At that point, how could the geniuses still in the Second Star Ring possibly remain calm? They would likely all rush toward the Third Star Ring's entrance, throwing the entire Star Realm Sea into chaos.
"And there's more..."
"Jiang Ye is completely unaffected by the Cross-Realm Suppression?" the tall, black-robed figure exclaimed in astonishment. "Such an ability doesn't exist within Dao Bone Aptitude, does it?"
"Forget Dao Bone Aptitude," the short, black-robed figure scoffed. "Even Transcendent Aptitude, let alone heavenly pride talent, lacks such a capability."
"Ignoring otherworld suppression?"
"If such an ability truly existed, countless Divine beings would go mad for it," the short figure said, shaking his head.
"Indeed," the tall figure agreed. "With such power, Divine beings could traverse low-level secret realms without any hindrance."
"Furthermore,"
"It would even become possible for beings from High-Tier Civilization Planes to descend upon Low-Tier Civilization Planes," the tall figure added, shaking his head slightly.
Every Divine being is bound by Cross-Realm Restrictions.
For a Divine being to descend from an advanced civilization to a low-level civilization, they must pay a tremendous price—a cost often outweighing any potential gains.
Thus, many Divine beings refrain from descending to low-level civilizations due to these restrictions.
These restrictions originate from the cosmos itself, acting as a cosmic 'protection' for low-level civilizations.
But what if a Divine being possessed the ability to bypass otherworld suppression? Destroying a low-level civilization would be child's play.
A single word, even a single breath, could obliterate countless low-level civilizations.
Fortunately!
Such an ability would defy the Will of the Universe, making its existence virtually impossible.
"It's not an innate ability," the taller black-robed figure stated.
"Then what about Jiang Ye?" the taller figure asked, his voice tinged with puzzlement.
"Most likely some special ability," the shorter black-robed figure replied with a shake of his head and a wry smile. "Geniuses always possess peculiar abilities and opportunities."
"Throughout first and second-tier cosmic civilizations, every top-tier genius has been the same."
"We don't need to investigate further," the shorter figure said matter-of-factly.
"That being said,"
"This Jiang Ye is worth keeping a close eye on," the shorter figure added, pointing at the holographic projection.
The taller black-robed figure nodded slightly.
From this moment on!
Their primary targets of observation now included Jiang Ye, in addition to Bo Sen and Yan Yi.
Second Star Ring, Sector 3001.
Within a mountain range.
Boom!
A pitch-black figure streaked across the mountains, unleashing a series of deafening sonic booms.
Ahead of this dark figure, a white-robed girl with features resembling those of Blue Star humans fled desperately.
The two raced across the landscape, covering thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
"Blue Star People must die," the dark-skinned, sinister youth snarled, his eyes burning with icy hatred as he relentlessly pursued her.
This was Hei Ming, the invincible dao bone from the Black Abyss Civilization!
"I've told you, I'm not from Blue Star!" the white-robed girl cried out in exasperation, speaking in the Universal Cosmic Language.
"Your lies are useless."
Hei Ming's face remained cold as he swooped down, blade in hand.
His speed was terrifying; in mere breaths, he had closed the distance.
Whoosh!
A terrifying blade aura erupted, tearing through the sky as it hurtled toward the white-robed girl.
She spun around, slashing out with her sword.
Clang! The clash of blade against blade reverberated with an earth-shattering roar.
Boom!
Like two colliding meteorites, a terrifying energy wave erupted, pulverizing the surrounding trees into dust.
Whoosh! The white-robed girl was sent flying backward, retreating rapidly.
But Hei Ming's speed far surpassed hers.
In the blink of an eye, he had closed the distance again.
"We're almost at Blackwind Valley."
"Are you sure you want to make this a fight to the death?" Despite her seemingly dire situation, the white-robed girl showed no trace of panic.
"Die!" Hei Ming's face was icy as layers upon layers of blade light, like a surging tide, tore through the air and crashed down upon her.
An absolutely terrifying strike.
Each blade light could easily obliterate a third breakthrough peak cultivator.
With thousands of such blades converging, even a fourth breakthrough powerhouse would have to avoid their full force.
"Sigh." The white-robed girl sighed softly, tightening her grip on her longsword.
But before she could even raise her blade to defend herself—
Clang!
A terrifying spear light suddenly pierced through the heavens, blindingly brilliant as it descended from the sky.
Boom!
The spear light slammed directly into the tidal wave of blades.
Its radiance was blinding, its power absolute. It cleaved through the blade tide, scattering countless blade lights in its wake.
Whoosh!
Countless blade tides scattered like surging waves, dissolving a lethal technique capable of threatening even fourth breakthrough experts.
"Hmm?" The white-robed girl tilted her head upward.
