Whoosh!
A dazzling figure descended from the sky, riding the crest of the dissipating waves.
The figure wielded a pitch-black spear, standing tall and imposing with the weapon in hand, radiating an overwhelming aura.
"You?" Hei Ming, the gloomy youth, glared at the figure, his eyes burning with icy malice.
The person he had been waiting for had finally appeared.
"Blue Star Civilization, Jiang Ye," Hei Ming hissed, his gaze locked on his opponent.
At that moment, Jiang Ye glanced sideways at the white-robed girl, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes.
"A master!" The girl clasped her hands in a respectful bow. "Thank you for saving me."
"We'll talk later," Jiang Ye replied curtly, turning his attention back to Hei Ming.
"Black Abyss Civilization?" Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes.
Jet-black skin and snow-white teeth—the unmistakable hallmarks of the Black Abyss Civilization.
The overwhelming aura emanating from Hei Ming far surpassed that of any third breakthrough peak expert Jiang Ye had ever encountered.
Even Ji Bei, whom Jiang Ye had previously killed, paled in comparison to this man.
In an instant.
"Hei Ming?" Jiang Ye had already guessed the man's identity.
"You know me?" A flicker of surprise crossed Hei Ming's eyes, but his gaze remained icy.
He gripped his war blade, staring at Jiang Ye, his murderous intent undisguised.
"The invincible dao bone of the Black Abyss Civilization."
"Do you harbor a grudge against the Blue Star Civilization?" Jiang Ye asked, his eyes fixed on Hei Ming. He had overheard Hei Ming's conversation with the white-robed girl during their pursuit.
"Yes."
"Because you took what belongs to my Black Abyss Civilization," Hei Ming said coldly. "And you killed my brethren."
"Ha." Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh.
It was true that he had killed many strong individuals from the Black Abyss Civilization.
But... Jiang Ye hadn't struck first.
Hearing such words from Hei Ming's mouth was utterly laughable.
"My civilization is being ravaged by war."
"My brethren shouldn't have died here," Hei Ming said slowly.
"War?" Jiang Ye replied coldly. "Every civilization experiences war."
"I won't argue with you about that," Hei Ming said calmly. "Since the Blue Star Civilization harmed my people, I will slaughter all their geniuses."
"Now," he continued, stroking his long blade, "I have already killed three Blue Star geniuses. You will be the fourth."
Jiang Ye's expression turned icy.
There were only thirty Blue Star geniuses who had entered the Star Realm Sea.
Including Jiang Ye himself, each was a top-tier genius of the Blue Star Civilization.
Now, three had already been lost?
Jiang Ye had been unaware of this news.
"You're quite impressive," Jiang Ye said softly.
Earlier, his feelings toward Hei Ming had been primarily driven by battle lust—he had wanted to clash with a true invincible dao bone in a fierce, unbridled fight.
But now?
Hei Ming had successfully ignited Jiang Ye's fury. Now, Jiang Ye's heart was filled with murderous intent!
"Then let's kill!"
As Jiang Ye's words fell, he vanished from his spot, leaving only an afterimage.
At the same moment, Hei Ming moved as well.
Boom!
The two warriors closed the distance with lightning speed.
Whoosh! Jiang Ye gripped his long spear, unleashing a sweeping arc of spear shadows that conjured visions of all four seasons and the chilling aura of the Cold Sun.
The terrifying spear radiance instantly blotted out the sunlight, its power utterly terrifying.
Clang! Hei Ming struck back in an instant.
His blade clashed violently with Jiang Ye's spear.
Rumble! A deafening roar erupted as a terrifying shockwave exploded outward, shattering the surrounding ground like an avalanche.
"Impressive spearmanship," Hei Ming remarked, his eyes glowing crimson. "You must be the strongest dao bone genius of the Blue Star Civilization, aren't you? Killing you will surely break their hearts."
"Die!" he roared, lunging at Jiang Ye with lightning speed.
Boom!
Hei Ming unleashed a torrent of blade strikes, an endless, surging tide of light that sealed off every escape route for Jiang Ye.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless blade beams rained down upon Jiang Ye.
Each strike was terrifyingly potent, capable of effortlessly slaying a third breakthrough peak-stage expert. Had this been Jiang Ye from two months ago, he would have struggled to withstand even a single blow.
But now?
Whoosh! Jiang Ye swept his spear outward in a single, fluid motion.
The Luoshen Spear Technique's Spear Dao Intent erupted, completely shattering the incoming sword light.
"I underestimated you," Hei Ming snarled, his face twisted in a ferocious grimace.
In the next instant,
Boom! He unleashed his full power.
A terrifying aura surged from Hei Ming's body, causing the surrounding air to crackle and explode in a series of sonic booms.
"Quasi-fourth breakthrough?" Jiang Ye's eyes narrowed with a hint of gravity.
Hei Ming had entered the Star Realm Sea at the third breakthrough peak.
After surviving the trials of the First Star Ring, reaching the quasi-fourth breakthrough was not surprising.
Though both were at the quasi-fourth breakthrough stage, the aura Hei Ming exuded was several times more potent than Ji Bei's had been.
Could it be due to his cultivation technique? Jiang Ye wondered inwardly.
Judging by the overwhelming force Hei Ming was unleashing,
the man had likely mastered a secret manual from a first-tier cosmic civilization, and one of extremely high rank at that.
"Die!" Hei Ming's eyes blazed with savage intent as he swung his blade down once more.
Crack!
The terrifying blade froze the very air around it.
Hei Ming's full-power eruption created an oppressive force of unimaginable terror!
If any other quasi-fourth breakthrough cultivator were present—unless they possessed an invincible dao bone—they would likely be forced to their knees by this overwhelming pressure.
But Jiang Ye remained completely unaffected.
"Kill!" Jiang Ye charged forward, spear in hand, unleashing the full power of his twelve qi vortexes. Endless stellar energy blazed across the sky.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The two warriors clashed in a fierce battle, their movements like colliding meteors.
Each earth-shattering impact sent shockwaves rippling outward, causing the ground within a several-kilometer radius to collapse repeatedly. Soon, a massive crater hundreds of meters deep yawned open.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a radiant pulse erupted from within the crater.
"Hmm?!"
Jiang Ye's senses sharpened instantly. Activating his Perceptive Insight, he peered down into the abyss.
A hazy gray light flickered within a crevice in the crater wall, its precious glow shimmering with occasional visions of suns and moons.
"What's that?"
"An A-tier opportunity?" Jiang Ye's heart jolted.
Who would have thought that our battle would unearth a Third-Tier A-Grade opportunity?!
Simultaneously, Jiang Ye and Hei Ming broke off their engagement and plunged toward the crater below.
A-tier opportunities were too precious to miss.
"The opportunity is mine," Hei Ming declared coldly, his long saber unleashing a relentless barrage of blade light to block Jiang Ye's path.
"Those who stand in my way will die!" Jiang Ye retorted with equal ferocity.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over a dozen more blows.
Jiang Ye moved with lightning speed, instantly plunging into the deep pit and gaining several body lengths on Hei Ming.
"Stay put!" Hei Ming roared, finally unleashing his Domain.
Whoosh!
An invisible wave surged outward, followed by countless tentacles materializing from thin air and lashing out at Jiang Ye.
Tentacle Domain!
This was one of Hei Ming's trump cards for achieving the invincible dao bone. Each tentacle contained thirty to forty percent of his full power.
Beneath this barrage of tentacles, he would dare to challenge even a true fourth breakthrough powerhouse!
"Petty tricks," Jiang Ye scoffed, sweeping his long spear horizontally.
Boom!
Countless spear shadows erupted, each carrying the force of a full-power strike from a third breakthrough peak expert—a terrifying display of power.
In an instant, most of the tentacles were annihilated.
Jiang Ye's figure flashed like lightning as he lunged forward to seize the A-tier opportunity ahead.
