As they continued their conversation, suddenly—
A buzz rippled through the void, followed by the emergence of a hazy, colossal figure.
The figure radiated no discernible aura, yet its presence subtly distorted the very fabric of space.
"Alliance Leader," Bai Jing, Qiu Cang, and the others bowed deeply.
This indistinct figure was none other than Qi Tian, the Blue Star Federation's foremost powerhouse and current Alliance Leader.
Bai Jing and Qiu Cang exchanged uneasy glances. The Alliance Leader rarely appeared in person; his presence signaled a crisis of grave proportions.
"Old Bai," the hazy figure addressed Bai Jing, "a seventh-tier shadow calamity has erupted near White Dragon University. You need to handle it immediately."
"What?"
"A seventh-tier shadow calamity?" Bai Jing and Qiu Cang's faces paled.
Seventh-tier shadow calamities represented the highest level of threat on Blue Star, posing the greatest danger to life and property.
How could such a catastrophic event suddenly erupt?
"Understood," Bai Jing replied grimly, without further questions. "I'll head there at once."
"Old Bai, I'm coming with you," Qiu Cang added urgently.
A shadow calamity erupting near White Dragon University was an unprecedented crisis. Countless lives hung in the balance.
The teachers were all rushing to the battlefield.
Swiftly.
Bai Jing and Qiu Cang disappeared one after the other.
Left behind, Qian Feng asked with a grave expression, "Alliance Leader, is it the Cosmic Void Passage that was sealed years ago?"
"Correct," the blurry figure nodded.
"Really?"
"The Cosmic Void Passage suppressed by White Dragon University hasn't stirred for decades," Qian Feng couldn't help but say. "How could it suddenly erupt with a seventh-tier shadow calamity?"
A Cosmic Void Passage had always existed near White Dragon University.
But decades ago, the passage had been sealed by a coalition of Blue Star's strongest warriors.
Now, the Cosmic Void Passage lay hidden in the void, completely invisible under normal circumstances. Many White Dragon University students were even unaware of its existence near their school.
"After decades, it's only natural for the seal to weaken," the blurry figure said slowly. "However, this shadow calamity is particularly fierce. It seems they've been plotting for a long time, aiming to swallow Donghai City whole."
"Wishful thinking," Qian Feng scoffed coldly.
"It's nothing," the blurry figure said. "We've been preparing for this. Before each civilization strife crossing, Blue Star experiences a series of seventh-tier shadow calamities."
"The Shadow Clan Civilization doesn't want us to advance."
"That's precisely why we must fight them to the end," the blurry figure declared with unwavering resolve.
The more the enemy fears something,
the more we must carry it through to completion.
"Civilization strife crossing..." Qian Feng sighed. "In the last civilization strife crossing, our Blue Star Civilization came so close to advancing."
"This time, we have top-tier geniuses like Chen Zilu and Jiang Ye."
"We will succeed," Qian Feng said, his voice tinged with longing.
Civilization advancement.
It was the burning desire of every strong individual on Blue Star.
When it happened, the entire Blue Star Civilization would benefit.
"Jiang Ye?" The blurry figure paused, slightly surprised.
He knew Chen Zilu, but who was Jiang Ye?
"Oh, right," Qian Feng chuckled. "I forgot to mention—Jiang Ye is our Blue Star Civilization's second invincible dao bone!"
"A second invincible dao bone?" The blurry figure turned to Qian Feng.
How could I, as the alliance leader, be completely unaware of this?
"I only just learned about it myself," Qian Feng replied.
"Alliance Leader, please take a look." Qian Feng waved his hand, activating a video replay.
The blurry figure immediately focused on the screen.
The footage showed Jiang Ye battling Ji Bei and Hei Ming.
Soon, the figure nodded slightly. "Impressive. Even more remarkable than Chen Zilu's performance back then."
"Qian Feng, isn't he a student at Heaven's Gate University?"
"Once he returns from the Star Realm Sea, provide him with the highest level of cultivation resources," the blurry figure instructed.
Suddenly, Qian Feng said, slightly embarrassed, "Alliance Leader, Jiang Ye actually attends White Dragon University."
"..."
"Regarding Jiang Ye," the blurry figure continued, "everything he does in the Star Realm Sea must remain strictly confidential."
"Understood," Qian Feng nodded, understanding the reason.
The Shadow Clan were far from mindless killing machines; they were a civilization with a "main brain."
In the lead-up to the civilization strife crossing, the Shadow Calamity and the Hidden God Organization would become increasingly active.
Turmoil was imminent.
During the last civilization strife crossing, many geniuses perished in the ensuing chaos.
Jiang Ye's existence couldn't remain hidden forever, but every moment of concealment gave him more time to grow until he could face these terrifying crises alone.
Star Realm Sea, Second Star Ring, Area 3001.
Time flowed on. Jiang Ye devoted himself to cultivation within the Black Cloud Mountain Range, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Buzz!
On this day, the entire Black Cloud Mountain Range suddenly erupted with a terrifying wave of energy.
Immediately afterward, the earth trembled violently.
Whoosh! A magnificent pillar of light shot skyward, sweeping across the heavens.
In an instant, the sky filled with radiant clouds, and astonishing phenomena materialized one after another.
"The Earth Spirit Essence has matured!"
"A Third-Tier Upper A-grade Opportunity!"
"It's finally ripe!" The geniuses gathered in the Black Cloud Mountain Range rose to their feet in unison.
At the same moment, Jiang Ye, who had been practicing spear techniques atop a mountain peak, finally lowered his weapon.
Huff~
"Three days of spear practice, concluded." Jiang Ye glanced at his status panel.
Luoshen Spear: Small Success (1%) → (6%)
Three days!
A full 5% increase!
It seemed small, but in reality...
"This 5% might actually be equivalent to a 70-80% amplification of my power," Jiang Ye mused inwardly.
As his cultivation realm approached the quasi-fourth breakthrough, his perception of his own strength had become increasingly acute.
Even without engaging in actual combat, he could vaguely sense it.
A 70-80% amplification!
Given Jiang Ye's current combat prowess, such an improvement was utterly astonishing.
"However," he thought, "as I continue to integrate new insights into the Luoshen Spear, the difficulty of improving this spearmanship will only increase."
"Eventually, it might take ten days or even half a month to gain just 1%."
This wasn't a bad thing.
On the contrary, it meant the Luoshen Spear Technique he had created possessed an ever-expanding upper limit.
For now, its maximum potential might only reach the seventh to ninth breakthroughs.
But what about the future? No one could say for sure.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as Jiang Ye was lost in thought, a series of piercing sounds erupted from ahead.
"Time to compete for the opportunity," Jiang Ye murmured, gathering his focus and gazing into the distance.
At that moment!
Figures were already streaking toward the central region of the Black Cloud Mountain Range.
Each silhouette radiated an incomparably powerful aura.
A quick glance revealed that many of these experts were on par with or even surpassed Hei Ming's level.
"So, in these three days," Jiang Ye's eyes flickered with excitement, "quite a few invincible dao bone holders have arrived."
In the next instant, with a whoosh! Jiang Ye gripped his long spear, his body surged with starlight, and he transformed into a streak of light, hurtling forward.
