Huff! Jiang Ye shot forward like lightning, his speed astonishing, closing in on the alien powerhouse nearing the Quasi-Fourth Break in the blink of an eye.
The powerful explosion of Star Energy granted Jiang Ye a speed beyond ordinary.
In a very short time, he could surge from 0 meters/second to 1500 meters/second.
Such a concept is extremely terrifying.
Such exaggerated kinetic energy requires an incredibly strong physical body; otherwise, even if achieved, it would lead to the bodyās collapse.
Even a Quasi-Fourth Break powerhouse needs several seconds to adapt.
And Jiang Ye? Just one second.
"Swish!" The spear like a dragon.
A dazzling spear glow swept across the sky, its power unmatched, directly striking the alien powerhouse.
But just as it was about to pierce the opponentās neck, it suddenly halted.
"Civilization Key?"
Jiang Ye held the long spear, his eyes cold.
The opponentās words indeed piqued his interest.
This 015 area is vast and endless, searching according to the map is genuinely laborious; knowing the location of the Civilization Key would make actions much more convenient.
"Speak." Jiang Ye pressed the long spear to the opponentās neck.
"Promise not to kill me, and Iāll speak." The alien powerhouse said tremblingly.
He was utterly shocked by Jiang Yeās displayed strength, leaving no thought of resistance.
"Hmm?" Jiang Yeās eyes turned cold.
The alien powerhouseās body trembled, already sensing the killing intent.
At that moment, he dared not hesitate anymore, speaking tremblingly: "According to the information I received, the Civilization Key is in a black mountain near the Black Sea Coast..."
"Black Sea Coast?" Jiang Yeās eyes moved.
He did see this name on the map.
"How do you know?" Jiang Ye asked coldly.
The Black Sea Coast is at least tens of thousands of kilometers away from here.
They just entered the Star Realm Sea.
Even Jiang Ye couldnāt cross such a vast distance in a short time.
"My companions told me within my race." The alien powerhouse replied hastily.
"You have a way to communicate?" Jiang Ye asked indifferently.
"Yes." The alien hurriedly displayed his wristband.
The civilization this alien belongs to is clearly more technologically advanced than the Blue Star Civilization.
Even on an exotic planet, they can communicate with each other.
Jiang Ye cannot achieve this.
"Since others already know, whatās the use of rushing over now?" Jiang Yeās gaze grew colder, seemingly suspecting the opponent was playing games with him.
"No, no, no!"
The alien powerhouse quickly explained: "The Black Sea Coast requires time to open, at least half a month, before it will be accessible."
"Currently, many people must be heading there."
"Originally, we planned to get the opportunity here and then go to the Black Sea Coast." The alien powerhouse quickly supplemented.
Jiang Ye was enlightened then.
It seems that the āBlack Sea Coastā is similar to certain opportunities on Ancient Star No. 7.
A specific time is needed for maturity.
This is normal.
The more precious Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects are, the more specific birth times and places are required.
For example, certain fire attribute treasures will be born in treasure lands abundant in fire attribute energy and within the corresponding Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
"Sir, I have already told you the news, you must keep your promise." The alien powerhouse said tremblingly.
"Noisy."
Jiang Yeās eyes suddenly turned cold, and the long spear in his hand burst forth.
Bang~! The terrifying spear light pierced the alienās head instantly, blood exploding.
The alien powerhouse close to Quasi-Fourth Break, dead!
These aliens, like the Blue Star Civilization, are from a 0.7-level civilization.
But Jiang Ye did not show any mercy because of this... The hearts of those not of my race must be different, especially since these aliens initiated the aggression.
"Currently encountering aliens below first-level civilization." Jiang Ye stowed away his long spear: "The level of these people is mostly similar to Zhou Hong, Su Haiyue and the like."
Here, the level is not about strength.
But the level of genius.
Even someone such as Zhou Hong or Su Haiyue at Jiang Yeās same realm is not a match for him.
"Black Sea Coast."
"I wonder if there will be an Invincible Tao Bone appearing there." Jiang Ye opened his personal information panel.
Beep~ A holographic projection appeared.
[Rank 28: Jiang Ye: Bounty Amount: 9]
"Dropped to 28th?" Jiang Ye chuckled in surprise.
Not unexpected.
He had been traveling before, not encountering other aliens, so naturally, he couldnāt compare to those powerhouses who indulged in frenzied slaughter.
"Yan Yi?" Jiang Ye noticed the name he had noticed before: "Still third? The bounty amount has reached 30."
An exaggerated speed.
Just ten minutes into the Star Realm Sea.
Yan Yi had already killed thirty people, indicating that he was either killing or on the way to killing.
"Kill."
"The more you kill, the better." Jiang Yeās eyes flickered.
He doesnāt worry.
Anyway, the amount will carry over.
"Map." Jiang Ye clicked open the map projection again.
A holographic map emerged.
"Black Sea Coast, 20,000 kilometers from here?" Jiang Ye looked at the map: "Will pass through multiple opportunity lands along the way?"
"Better hurry and get there, hope the opportunities arenāt snatched away."
"Yes."
"Before leaving, Iāll take the opportunity here." Jiang Ye thought.
Swoosh!
With a flicker of his figure, he dashed toward the snow-white valley below.
Before coming, Jiang Ye had already seen the opportunity here, hidden in the deepest part of the snowy mountain.
Only tens of seconds later.
"Boom!"
An array of dazzling spear lights erupted within the vast snowy mountains, the earth-shattering sound echoing... Crash~ The vast snowy mountains triggered a terrifying avalanche.
The entire snowy mountain seemed sliced open, directly severed at the waist.
Boom~ The snow mountain shattered, countless snowflakes burst forth, and the white waves swept across the entire valley.
"Buzz!"
A white light rose from the endless snow tides, amazing waves of fluctuation spreading, accompanied by all kinds of Heaven and Earth Phenomena.
Third Tier Upper B Opportunity emerges!
But before this fluctuation could spread, Huff! A hand grasped it instantly.
"Got it." In Jiang Yeās hand, a flash of light appeared, and he placed the Upper B-level opportunity into his bracelet.
"Upper B-level, Third Tier."
"For me, it probably doesnāt have much effect," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "but selling it would be quite valuable."
An Upper B-level, Third Tier opportunity is worth at least several billion Federation Coins.
Jiang Ye didnāt think too much about it.
"Set off!"
"Black Sea Coast." Jiang Yeās gaze was firm; he must obtain the Civilization Key, the passport to a divine-level opportunity.
Boom!
Jiang Ye shot up from the ground, transforming into a beam of black light, like a dreadful meteor, shooting into the vast lands.
...
meters/second.
meters/second.
meters/second.
Effortlessly, Jiang Yeās speed had already surpassed six times the speed of sound.
"With full burst, and then opening speed control," Jiang Ye mused, "I should be able to break through seven times the speed of sound."
"Going any higher... would be a bit of a stretch."
Itās not the limit of speed control.
But because, with Jiang Yeās current physical qualities and reaction capabilities, he couldnāt adapt to higher speeds.
Previously, Jiang Yeās base speed was only 100 meters/second, even with a five-fold increase, he just barely broke the sound barrier.
At that time, he could fully adapt.
But now, with a high base speed, further speed control would be enormously exaggerated... Even with Jiang Yeās capability, he might not be able to react in time.
Fortunately, seven times the speed of sound was more than enough.
For a usual peak Third Break powerhouse, breaking three times the speed of sound was already quite impressive.
The more skilled ones, specializing in speed cultivation techniques, could reach four or even five times the speed of sound.
Seven times the speed of sound? Perhaps only the Invincible Tao Bone could accomplish that.
"Seven times the speed of sound, go."
Swoosh~! Jiang Ye, like a flowing light, tore through the vast world.
...
Time passed.
On the way to the Black Sea Coast, Jiang Ye passed through many opportunity lands.
He didnāt overlook these opportunities, collecting them all, and as for the alien races he encountered? He cut them all down.
In one of the opportunity lands, Jiang Ye even encountered over thirty alien race powerhouses, all of them late-stage or peak Third Break powerhouses.
The result?
Naturally, they were all annihilated.
...
Blue Star, at the entrance of the Star Realm Sea.
"This aura."
"Jiang Ye?"
"This kid has really reached the peak of Third Break." Bai Jing, the principal of Celestial Gate University Qian Feng, all marveled.
Previously, they only vaguely sensed Jiang Yeās realm.
But werenāt sure.
But now?
"Heās just started sophomore year, and heās already at the peak of Third Break."
"Jiang Ye, heās even more fierce than some Extraordinary Talents." Qian Feng couldnāt help but say, "Some weaker extraordinaries, at the start of sophomore year, are just late Third Break."
"How did this little guy cultivate?"
Qian Feng was utterly perplexed.
"He previously went to the Star Sea Divine Path," Qiu Cang explained, "Jiang Ye was already late Third Break, he must have reached the peak because of the Star Sea Gift."
"Star Sea Gift?"
"Impossible." Qian Feng immediately shook his head, "The Star Sea Gift for Third Break certification, canāt directly elevate a minor realm."
"Even more so from late Third Break to peak, itās a threshold."
"Even with Extraordinary Talent, it takes half a year to breakthrough."
"How did Jiang Ye break through?" Qian Feng was perplexed.
The Star Sea Gift generally improved Martial Arts potential.
Rarely did it directly raise a minor realm.
"Didnāt Chen Zilu, during her Third Break, rely on the Star Sea Gift to directly break through a minor realm?" Qiu Cang said with a cheerful smile.
"Thatās because Chen Zilu could contend with the extraordinaries, could Jiang Ye also?" Qian Feng suddenly widened his eyes.
"Jiang Ye may indeed be our Blue Star Civilizationās second Invincible Tao Bone," Bai Jing remarked.
Qian Feng fell silent.
His eyes carried a hint of envy.
Why are both Invincible Tao Bones from White Dragon University?
Celestial Gate University, as Blue Star Civilizationās premier institution, didnāt even produce one Invincible Tao Bone.
"Look, Jiang Ye just killed more than a dozen alien race geniuses again."
"This kidās combat power is really astonishing," Bai Jing remarked, "Since entering the Star Realm Sea, heās probably killed nearly a hundred aliens, right?"
"But as for that girl Chen Zilu, sheās been quite silent since entering the Star Realm Sea."
"Chen is in seclusion," Qiu Cang said, his gaze flickering, "She should be trying to break through to the mid-stage of Fifth Break."
"Go for it, Chen."
"If this continues, youāll be surpassed by your junior brother." Qiu Cang thought to himself.
...
Star Realm Sea, First Star Ring, area 019.
"Puchi!"
"Puchi!" Jide wielded a long knife, the blade flashed like lightning, piercing through the enemyās chest with one strike.
"Jide, youāre getting stronger," the red-haired young man said with a smile as he approached.
"Donāt underestimate me, you fool."
"I, Jide, am at least one of the top Meteor Star Level talents of the Fire Civilization," Jide chuckled.
The red-haired young man shook his head with a smile.
But didnāt deny it.
Jideās talent, looking across the entire Fire Civilization, indeed ranked among the top... just below the Invincible Tao Bone and Extranordinary.
"Ranking," Jide opened the ranking projection.
[Rank 499: Jide, bounty amount: 6]
"Finally made it into the top five hundred." Jide couldnāt help but grin.
Suddenly.
"Jide, take a look at the top ten," the red-haired young man suddenly exclaimed.
"The top ten?" Jideās gaze swept to the front of the ranking.
The next moment, his body jolted.
"What?"
"Jiang Ye? Heās in the top three?!"
