"Die!" Jiang Ye roared again.
His battle cry surged like a tidal wave.
But this time, it had little effect.
Ten Thousand Tides Domain—its initial use is always the most effective, Jiang Ye realized with sudden clarity. Once the enemy anticipates it, the second or third use will be far less devastating.
As for these top-tier geniuses, most at the fourth breakthrough and beyond had cultivated sea of consciousness secret techniques, making them resistant to mental attacks.
Certain invincible dao bones possess innate abilities that naturally protect the sea of consciousness.
Fortunately, Jiang Ye had no intention of relying solely on the Ten Thousand Tides Domain to win this battle.
"Luoshen Spear," Jiang Ye gripped his long spear tightly, and indescribable rhythms erupted from its tip.
Since absorbing the cultivation insights of hundreds of geniuses, including Dong Huang, Jiang Ye's Luoshen Spear had undergone a meteoric transformation, its power surging immeasurably.
Today, he would test his mettle against this Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough enemy.
"Blue Star genius!" the Scarface strongman of the Black Abyss Civilization roared, his aura thundering like thunder as he raised his great spear. "Die!"
Whoosh!
The spear thrust downward!
As it descended, countless terrifying energies converged. Under the combined might of three Domains, the entire world trembled faintly.
Without a doubt, this strike was an absolutely devastating attack!
"A mere parlor trick," Jiang Ye declared, stepping into the void. Stellar energy erupted from his body, his aura surging to its zenith as he thrust his own spear forward.
Stellar energy blazed!
In an instant, the two spear tips collided.
Whoosh! Four Great Suns materialized, radiating both scorching heat and biting cold in a paradoxical display.
Yet this contradiction didn't clash; instead, it amplified the four Great Suns' might to terrifying levels in an instant.
Luoshen Spear Technique - First Style Ultimate Move: Four Suns Across the Sky!
With Jiang Ye's current level of spearmanship, this technique now manifested entirely differently.
Upon closer inspection, one could discern a trace of inexplicable rhythm within the four Cold Suns.
Nirvana Divine Essence!
In what felt like an instant, the two spear tips collided.
Whoosh!
The four Suns descended, yet produced no earth-shattering shockwaves. Instead, they moved silently—the true power of Nirvana Divine Essence.
A mere wisp of Divine Resonance had already overshadowed the technique's inherent properties, indirectly revealing the essence's terrifying nature.
Whoosh!
The four Suns shattered, silently nullifying Scarface's offensive. The terrifying energy was compressed into an impossibly narrow space before exploding outward.
Pfft!
Scarface felt an overwhelming, mountain-toppling force pierce through his body. He was sent flying backward in a violent arc.
While still in mid-air, Scarface's battle armor was torn to shreds by the terrifying energy, exploding into fragments.
"Impossible..."
"How can he be this strong? It shouldn't be possible! He's only at the Early Fourth Breakthrough!" Scarface slammed heavily to the ground, his face contorted with horror.
An Early Fourth Breakthrough cultivator, completely dominating me, a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivator?
Who is the one with the higher cultivation level here?!
Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Ye was equally astonished.
He's still alive? Jiang Ye thought inwardly. A Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivator is indeed formidable.
Any mid-stage fourth breakthrough expert would have been utterly annihilated by that earlier strike.
Yet this Scarface had survived.
There's a fundamental difference between Late Stage and mid-stage Fourth Breakthrough.
Perhaps their life dimensions are fundamentally different.
"Let's end this," Jiang Ye thought, showing no mercy. The mid-stage fourth breakthrough cultivator had already perished in the earlier collision.
Only Scarface remained.
But just as Jiang Ye was about to strike him down...
Thud!
Scarface flipped over, landing on his knees in mid-air. He kowtowed to Jiang Ye, begging, "Senior! Spare my life! I will gladly become your slave and servant, obeying your every command..."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Ye looked at the man, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
Kneeling and begging for mercy?
Since entering the Star Realm Sea, he had never encountered such a tactic from an alien race.
"Spare your life? On what grounds?" Jiang Ye asked coldly, looking down at him.
"If you spare my life, I'll do anything you ask," Scarface said, kneeling on the ground without any of the dignity of a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough expert.
"Oh?" Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly—
"Die." A cold glint flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes, and his long spear erupted with power.
His perception was far too keen. In that instant, he had sensed the man attempting to call for reinforcements through some hidden method.
Scarface's face contorted into a ferocious expression. "I'll take you down with me!"
As a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough expert, he couldn't be without a treasure. He immediately prepared to crush a treasure to take Jiang Ye down with him in a mutual kill.
But it was too late.
"Ultimate move: Annihilation of Heaven and Earth." Jiang Ye swung his spear.
A gray, silent spear light slashed through the air.
The light moved so swiftly that it reduced the treasure in Scarface's hand to dust in an instant, annihilating it completely.
"What?"
"Another ultimate move? Impossible." Scarface's pupils constricted, his face a mask of disbelief.
Even for a powerhouse like him, it was impossible to unleash two ultimate moves in such quick succession.
Ultimate moves had cooldowns.
Otherwise, why would they be called ultimate moves?
They not only consumed vast amounts of stellar energy but also drained Essence, Qi, and Spirit. Even an invincible dao bone struggled to execute them repeatedly.
Scarface had no time to ponder these matters.
The world-destroying spear light was already hurtling down upon him.
"Hei Tianjue will avenge me!" Scarface roared, his body exploding under the spear light, blood splattering in all directions.
A Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough powerhouse... dead!
"Hei Tianjue? An invincible dao bone?" Jiang Ye remained unfazed.
He had already slain invincible dao bones from the Black Abyss Civilization.
Still, this battle had given him a clear understanding of the gap between the Early and Late Stages of the Fourth Breakthrough.
Even someone as powerful as him had struggled to kill a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough opponent.
And this wasn't even an invincible dao bone.
If it were an invincible dao bone, it would be even more troublesome.
"I can't let my guard down," Jiang Ye thought. "I should find a safe place to lie low for now."
Jiang Ye wasn't afraid of facing those strong enemies.
But if he were surrounded by an invincible dao bone, his lower cultivation realm would make it difficult to escape.
Whoosh!
After quickly collecting the spoils of war, Jiang Ye moved with a whoosh and flew toward Liu Shishi.
"Jiang Ye," Liu Shishi was completely stunned.
Is this really the Jiang Ye I know?
He had swept aside five top experts, even completely crushing that late-stage Fourth Breakthrough powerhouse.
That's right!
From Liu Shishi's perspective, Jiang Ye hadn't exerted much effort.
In just two thrusts, he had annihilated Scarface, the late-stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivator.
It was effortless.
"Jiang Ye, how did you—" Seeing Jiang Ye fly toward her, Liu Shishi's mind was brimming with questions she longed to ask.
But Jiang Ye gave her no chance.
"Let's go. This place isn't safe for long," he said gravely.
"Oh, oh!"
"Okay." Liu Shishi snapped out of her daze, nodding rapidly like a chick pecking at grain.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The two transformed into streaks of flowing light, soaring into the sky and streaking toward the distant horizon.
Within the mysterious space.
"Look, Jiang Ye's facing five opponents at the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough."
"He's not running? The kid's charging in alone?"
"Trying to take on five again? That's just like him." The tall, black-robed Ji Ba watched the projection, his commentary flowing without pause.
Suddenly, Ji Ba glanced at the silent Ji Wei beside him. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
In the past, Ji Wei had always offered his own commentary whenever Jiang Ye made a move. But now? He was unusually quiet.
"What's there to say?" Ji Wei shot him a sideways glance.
"Think Jiang Ye can win?" Ji Ba prodded, trying to draw him out.
"First time, second time, third time—but never a fourth," Ji Wei replied calmly. "I'm done commenting on this kid. Give it up."
"Boring," Ji Ba said, shaking his head.
Only moments later, the projection showed Jiang Ye sweeping aside the five masters in a decisive battle.
"Heh, good thing I didn't say anything." Ji Wei, who had been holding back his words, finally chuckled.
