Sometimes, encounters happen with such suddenness.
Had Bing Hao been even a moment earlier or later, they would have missed each other.
Yet, by sheer coincidence, he emerged just as Jiang Ye and Liu Shishi approached.
"A fish that slipped through the net," Jiang Ye sneered.
Whoosh!
A pitch-black long spear materialized in Jiang Ye's hand.
"I'll give you the opportunity! Spare my life!" Bing Hao shouted without hesitation, his scalp tingling with dread.
"I already spared you once."
"Our meeting today proves the heavens want you dead!" Jiang Ye's voice was ice-cold. As his words fell, his figure vanished from the spot.
Grasping his long spear, he unleashed a terrifying spear strike.
"Damn it!" Bing Hao cursed inwardly, forced to parry with his spear.
Boom!
Crack!
With a single strike, Bing Hao's spear snapped with a crisp, shattering sound.
"What?!" Bing Hao was stunned.
Jiang Ye had cleaved his weapon in half with a single blow?
His opponent was strong, but this was beyond absurd!
What the hell is going on? Today is the worst day of my life, Bing Hao thought bitterly.
First, his entire team had been wiped out.
Then, after finally finding Bing Jiuxuan, the man refused to heed his warnings.
As if that weren't enough, the opportunity they'd timed perfectly had matured ahead of schedule!
And now, just as he was about to claim it, he'd run into his mortal enemy, Jiang Ye.
Worst of all, the battle had barely begun, and his weapon had already been shattered!
How was he supposed to fight now?
This shouldn't be happening!
This shouldn't be happening! Bing Hao roared inwardly. Even a fifth breakthrough expert couldn't break this spear! How is this possible?!
In that moment, only one explanation occurred to him:
There must be a weak point in the spear's shaft.
Under normal circumstances, Bing Hao would never use the shaft of his spear to parry an attack.
But just now, for some inexplicable reason—perhaps due to the suddenness of the attack—he had instinctively braced the spear horizontally to defend himself.
As a result, Jiang Ye's strike had landed precisely on the spear shaft's weakest point.
How could it be this coincidental? Is the heavens conspiring against me? Bing Hao thought in utter despair.
Though it seemed like an eternity, countless thoughts flashed through Bing Hao's mind in less than half a second.
Whoosh! Jiang Ye's spear struck again.
Crack!
This strike, like the crushing descent of the Great Sun, shattered Bing Hao's long spear completely.
Boom! The spear's radiant energy pierced through Bing Hao's chest, piercing his heart.
As if struck by lightning, Bing Hao was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut.
"Die."
Jiang Ye gripped his long spear tightly, unleashing his full power. His speed instantly exceeded ten times the speed of sound, tearing through the air like a bolt of lightning.
He charged toward the still-airborne Bing Hao, his spear thrusting forward like a dragon's strike.
"No!" Bing Hao's face twisted in terror. He didn't want to die.
Just as Bing Hao was about to retrieve a treasure to escape, he was horrified to discover his storage ring had vanished without a trace.
"Heaven has forsaken me," Bing Hao murmured inwardly.
Whoosh!
The long spear, like a dragon, pierced through Bing Hao's body, causing him to explode into a cloud of blood mist mid-air.
Bing Hao was dead.
Whoosh~
Jiang Ye landed slowly, gripping the long spear.
"Just now?" A strange expression crossed Jiang Ye's face.
He had sensed something peculiar.
With a single strike, he had shattered Bing Hao's weapon?
Martial artists at the fourth breakthrough stage typically wield custom-made weapons crafted from flawless materials.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been nearly impossible to break such a weapon.
"Does it seem unbelievable?" Bai Gui's voice echoed in his mind.
"You noticed it too?" Jiang Ye asked, intrigued.
"Of course."
"Your luck far surpasses that man's," Bai Gui explained. "The scales of fate are tilted entirely in your favor."
"Thus, the outcome of this battle was predetermined before it even began."
"This is the power of luck suppression," Bai Gui declared solemnly.
"Luck suppression?" Jiang Ye had encountered another new term.
"Indeed."
"Your luck overwhelms your opponent, causing all circumstances to align in your favor," Bai Gui explained. "At the same time, it will plunge your enemies into numerous unfavorable situations."
"Precisely because of this,"
"Your battle with him will be far easier than you imagine," Bai Gui said.
Jiang Ye finally understood.
Everything that had just happened.
He had coincidentally encountered an opportunity, then coincidentally met Bing Hao, and then coincidentally shattered his weapon. The reason so many coincidences occurred was precisely because his luck overwhelmed his opponent.
This was the power of luck overwhelming!
"Luck is truly terrifying," Jiang Ye exclaimed, both delighted and uneasy.
"If I were to encounter a strong opponent with far greater luck than mine,"
"Would I also be plunged into such a situation?" Jiang Ye wondered anxiously.
Previously, he hadn't understood.
But now, having witnessed the overwhelming power of luck overwhelming, Jiang Ye couldn't help but ponder.
He had been able to kill Bing Hao so easily because his luck had overwhelmed his opponent.
But what if one day the tables were turned?
"There's no need to worry,"
"With your current luck," Bai Gui said with a smile, "even some Transcendent Aptitudes might not measure up to you."
"Not even Transcendent Aptitudes?" Jiang Ye asked, surprised.
"While the upper limit of dao bone is far lower than that of Transcendent Aptitudes," Bai Gui explained, "in reality, most people struggle to maintain their luck."
"Every injury, every mistake, drains their luck."
"Over time, the luck associated with some Transcendent Aptitudes can even fall below that of dao bone," Bai Gui clarified.
"I see," Jiang Ye said, enlightened.
The intricacies of luck were vast and complex.
Even now, Jiang Ye only grasped the basics. But Bai Gui's explanation deepened his understanding.
He pushed aside further contemplation.
"Opportunity," Jiang Ye murmured, his figure blurring as he darted toward the opportunity deep within the valley.
Liu Shishi swiftly followed.
"I should thank the Glacier Civilization and the Mountain and Sea Civilization," Jiang Ye thought to himself. "Despite the intense energy fluctuations here, no alien races have come to compete. It seems Purple Phoenix Mountain has already been claimed by these two civilizations."
This stroke of luck greatly benefited Jiang Ye.
Why was Bing Hao the only one here?
Jiang Ye didn't know, but he suspected it had something to do with his own luck.
High luck meant a string of good fortune.
Otherwise, he couldn't explain this bizarre situation: a Fourth-Tier Upper A-Grade Opportunity, yet no one was competing for it!
If news of this reached Blue Star, the transcendent families would likely go mad.
A moment later, Jiang Ye reached the deepest part of the valley. There, perched on the edge of a cliff, stood three half-meter-tall fruit trees, glowing faintly and radiating an alluring aura.
"Dragon Saliva Fruit Trees?"
"Truly a Fourth-Tier Upper A-Grade Opportunity!" Jiang Ye's heart leaped with joy.
Three trees! This was a true windfall.
Swiftly, Jiang Ye waved his hand, uprooting all three trees and storing them in his storage pouch.
"Senior Sister, I'll give you one when we get out," Jiang Ye said to Liu Shishi.
"Ah? No need!" Liu Shishi quickly shook her head, refusing. She had no intention of claiming any of these treasures.
Jiang Ye was about to reply when suddenly—
Boom!
Boom! A series of violent explosions echoed from the distance.
Jiang Ye's expression shifted slightly.
That aura...?
"Invincible dao bone?" Jiang Ye turned to look.
In the distant sky, two dazzling figures clashed, each radiating an unparalleled aura field like war gods.
With a single glance, Jiang Ye recognized that both figures possessed invincible dao bones!
They were engaged in a terrifying battle, shattering the heavens and rending the earth. The terrifying shockwaves of their conflict made Jiang Ye's heart tremble, even from hundreds of miles away.
"What's that?" Jiang Ye focused his gaze.
The mountain valley where he stood was extremely distant from the battlefield.
But Jiang Ye's vision had long surpassed its former limits. In an instant, he clearly discerned the two figures in the fray.
One had pitch-black skin, while the other was covered in ice-blue patterns.
"The Black Abyss Civilization? The Glacier Civilization?" Jiang Ye exclaimed in surprise.
The invincible dao bones of these two great civilizations were actually fighting each other?
"This is good news," Jiang Ye couldn't help but smile.
Both civilizations harbored significant grudges against him.
Under normal circumstances, they should have united to besiege Jiang Ye.
But now? The two invincible dao bones were locked in a life-or-death struggle against each other.
In that instant, countless possibilities flashed through Jiang Ye's mind.
Is this another consequence of my luck? Jiang Ye wondered inwardly.
His luck was truly overwhelming.
His two greatest enemies, who should have been targeting him, had instead fallen into infighting. It seemed even the heavens were aiding him.
Luck is truly a remarkable thing, Jiang Ye mused, his admiration growing.
Then, his eyes flashed with a sharp glint. Could these two... help my Luoshen Spear transcend to divine-grade?
A fervent anticipation surged within him.
Two Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough invincible dao bones!
Their insights must be profound.
"Liu Shishi, let's go," Jiang Ye said in a low voice.
"Where?" Liu Shishi asked, startled.
"To kill!"
Jiang Ye's figure blurred into a streak of Flowing Light, soaring skyward.
He shot toward the distant battlefield.
He's actually going there? Liu Shishi's delicate features shifted.
After only a moment's hesitation, she resolutely followed Jiang Ye.
By now, Liu Shishi had complete faith in Jiang Ye. Whatever he did, she would obediently follow.
Hundreds of miles away:
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Two figures clashed high in the sky, each collision erupting in deafening explosions.
"Bing Jiuxuan, must you fight me to the death?" one of the pitch-black figures roared in a low voice.
"I don't want to use my ultimate trump card. Don't force me," the figure growled. "If I unleash that move, you're dead for sure."
"Hei Tianjue, your spear technique is indeed formidable," Bing Jiuxuan said calmly. "But it's useless against me."
"Today, you will die by my hand."
Bing Jiuxuan casually swung his sword, unleashing terrifying sword beams that streaked toward Hei Tianjue.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Time passed as the two engaged in a fierce battle, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Gradually, their auras waned, no longer at their peak.
"Withdraw," Hei Tianjue thought, losing his will to fight. He feared that if Jiang Ye arrived now, he would be at a disadvantage.
With a mental command, Hei Tianjue prepared to transform into Flowing Light and flee.
But in that instant—
Whoosh! A terrifying spear beam tore through the sky, sweeping toward Hei Tianjue with lightning speed.
"Damn it!" Hei Tianjue's pupils constricted. His worst fear had come true.
