The pair swiftly emerged from the cave, transforming into two streaks of Flowing Light as they soared toward Purple Phoenix Mountain, a thousand miles away.
Meanwhile, in a mysterious dimension:
"Ji Wei, look! Jiang Ye's on the move again!" Ji Ba nudged his colleague.
"I see it," Ji Wei replied, his gaze fixed on the projection.
For these two Divine beings, tracking Jiang Ye's movements had become their greatest amusement.
The reason was simple:
In the entire Star Realm Sea, geniuses like Jiang Ye—who consistently delivered unexpected surprises—were exceedingly rare.
Ji Wei, in particular, had been slapped in the face three times in a row, leaving a deep impression.
"Purple Phoenix Mountain?"
"Hei Tianjue of the Black Abyss Civilization is also at Purple Phoenix Mountain."
"Interesting. Will those two meet?" Ji Ba and Ji Wei both showed keen interest.
On the screen, Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi were rapidly approaching Purple Phoenix Mountain.
Though the distance was over a thousand miles, their combined speed would allow them to arrive in just a few minutes.
"Ji Wei," Ji Ba urged, "place your bets. Jiang Ye or Hei Tianjue—who do you think will win?"
"Get lost!" Ji Wei cursed.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; fool me thrice... no more! This time, I won't repeat my mistakes.
"You stubborn fool," Ji Ba shook his head, then his expression shifted.
"Jiang Ye has reached Purple Phoenix Mountain."
"Oh? The kid's timing is perfect. The opportunity at Purple Phoenix Mountain is just about to mature," Ji Ba observed, watching the projection.
"I'm not so sure," Ji Wei countered. "He's heading in the same direction as several Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivators from the first-tier Glacier Civilization."
"Jiang Ye and those people are likely to clash," Ji Wei said.
Hearing this, Ji Ba's expression shifted slightly.
The Glacier Civilization was a 1.1-tier civilization!
Though not as powerful as the Heavenly Fire Civilization, it was still a first-tier civilization.
The Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough experts from the Glacier Civilization, while lacking invincible dao bones, were all stronger than the Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough expert Jiang Ye had previously killed.
"Ji Wei," Ji Ba said immediately, "if a conflict erupts, what's your take?"
"I'll watch from the sidelines," Ji Wei replied indifferently.
"..." Ji Ba chuckled, saying nothing more.
Once bitten, twice shy, huh?
Suddenly, Ji Ba's gaze sharpened.
On the screen, Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi had come face-to-face with the Glacier Civilization's experts.
A hundred miles from Purple Phoenix Mountain, Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi stood suspended in mid-air.
A thousand meters ahead, seven figures hovered, radiating formidable auras.
These seven figures shared a common trait: ice-blue patterns etched across their skin.
"You two, please leave," the burly young man at the front boomed. "This area has been claimed by the Glacier Civilization and the Mountain and Sea Civilization. Take another step forward, and don't blame us for being impolite."
"Glacier Civilization? Mountain and Sea Civilization?" Liu Shishi's face paled slightly.
Both civilizations were at the 1.1 level.
At this critical juncture, they had joined forces.
The combined might of two first-tier civilizations was indeed enough to sweep aside most opponents and monopolize the opportunity here.
"Brother Bing Hao, why waste words on them?" A voluptuous girl beside the burly young man whispered. "They're just members of a low-tier civilization. Let's just kill them."
"Shut up!" the burly young man snapped.
"Brother Bing Hao?" The big-chested girl pressed.
He glared at her fiercely before turning to Jiang Ye. "You two, are you leaving or not?"
Under normal circumstances, he would have attacked immediately.
But the moment he saw Jiang Ye, Bing Hao recognized him instantly.
The top name on the bounty list: Jiang Ye!
The distinctive features of the Blue Star Civilization were unmistakable.
Not all geniuses are familiar with the characteristics of other civilizations. The big-chested girl from earlier, for example, was clueless.
But Bing Hao knew!
He understood that Jiang Ye was a formidable opponent, which is why he didn't rush into action but instead issued a warning.
At that moment, a violent life aura erupted from Bing Hao's body.
Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough!
Simultaneously, the big-chested girl and the other six members of their group unleashed their own auras.
The seven of them erupted with terrifying momentum, causing the surrounding space to freeze.
It was suffocating.
"Seven Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivators?" Liu Shishi's face paled completely.
"Jiang Ye," she urgently transmitted, "should we retreat?"
"No need," Jiang Ye replied, shaking his head.
He then turned to face the seven god-like figures before him.
"What if I insist on entering?" Jiang Ye asked, his gaze fixed on the burly young man.
"Oh?"
Bing Hao's eyes flashed with icy coldness.
"If you don't know what's good for you," he said coldly, "then I'll have no choice but to kill you."
Hearing this, Jiang Ye chuckled silently and said nothing more.
Jiang Ye had engaged in this exchange because Bing Hao's initial tone had been relatively polite—a rare occurrence.
In his previous encounters with alien civilizations, they had invariably displayed intense hostility from the moment they laid eyes on him, showing no semblance of courtesy.
Now, however, Jiang Ye understood the truth.
Bing Hao's earlier politeness had been nothing more than a facade.
"He's only being polite because of my strength," Jiang Ye realized, his mind as clear as a mirror. "But that's where it ends."
The strength Jiang Ye had demonstrated thus far was insufficient.
If he had a proven record of defeating peak fourth-breakthrough opponents, Bing Hao would have fled the moment he saw him.
At that moment, Jiang Ye gained a deeper understanding of the true meaning of strength.
Thoughts raced through his mind.
Whoosh! A pitch-black long spear materialized in Jiang Ye's hand.
Beside him, Liu Shishi swiftly drew the longsword from her back.
Whatever decision Jiang Ye made, she would follow him without hesitation.
At that moment, a hint of nervousness flickered in Liu Shishi's eyes.
Seven Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivators!
Can the two of us really handle this?
"Senior sister, protect yourself," Jiang Ye's gentle voice echoed in her mind.
"Ah, okay!" Liu Shishi nodded hastily.
Simultaneously,
Seeing Jiang Ye reveal his weapon, the murderous intent in Bing Hao's eyes finally surfaced, no longer concealed.
"I was going to spare you, but you insist on courting death."
"In that case," Bing Hao roared, "Attack! Leave no one alive!"
The moment his words rang out,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seven figures erupted into motion simultaneously, streaks of light tearing through the sky with deafening roars.
Bing Hao, the big-chested girl, and the other five unleashed their deadliest techniques at once.
Countless lethal attacks converged on Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Clang! Jiang Ye gripped his long spear tightly, instantly clashing with the seven attackers.
Liu Shishi stood behind him, barely managing to block one opponent.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! A series of violent explosions erupted as the two sides clashed, unleashing terrifying shockwaves that cracked the ground far below.
The scene was astonishing.
The battle was taking place thousands of meters above the ground.
Yet the shockwaves reached the surface, demonstrating the sheer destructive power of this level of combat.
"Jiang Ye? The genius of Blue Star? You're nothing special!" Bing Hao sneered, having completely overwhelmed Jiang Ye.
Why had he been so wary of Jiang Ye before?
Not out of politeness, but because his clan had ordered him to avoid conflict with Jiang Ye whenever possible.
But now, circumstances had changed.
After engaging Jiang Ye directly, Bing Hao felt no pressure whatsoever.
Seven against two—the advantage was clearly his!
Killing you will make me a legend in my clan! Bing Hao thought, his anticipation growing as his killing intent surged.
"Die!" Bing Hao roared, his blade flashing like lightning as he lunged at Jiang Ye.
But in the very next instant—
Whoosh!
As if a seal had been broken, a spear strike ten times more powerful than before erupted from Jiang Ye.
In a split second, it tore through the sky!
