Even now, Jiang Ye had yet to unleash his full power.
He hadn't used techniques like the Blood Sea Domain or Martial Saint Domain.
Moreover, he still held his ultimate trump card.
Territorial Expansion: When battling alien races, all attributes of you and your teammates within a 100-meter radius are increased by 30% (+788%).
Jiang Ye hadn't used this ability in previous battles.
If he unlocked this buff, even a thousand peak fourth-breakthrough opponents could be annihilated with a single spear sweep.
"The fifty-first trial?"
"I'm coming," Jiang Ye declared, soaring skyward toward the next ancient star.
From now on, he wouldn't indulge in prolonged combat.
His spear technique had reached a bottleneck, making further improvement impossible in the short term.
Therefore, he would focus entirely on clearing the trials.
Sixty trials? Seventy? Or even higher?
Jiang Ye was equally eager to find out.
Fifty-first trial.
Jiang Ye faced dozens of peak fourth-breakthrough opponents, with a quasi-fifth-tier expert leading their ranks.
"So a quasi-fifth-tier expert finally appears?" Jiang Ye wasn't surprised.
quasi-fifth-tier warriors were indeed formidable.
If he had encountered such an opponent upon first entering the hundred cosmic refinements, Jiang Ye would have had to exert his full strength just to stand a chance of victory.
But now?
"Ultimate move: Spiritual Sea," Jiang Ye murmured inwardly.
Whoosh! A terrifying light enveloped the entire area, instantly tearing apart the quasi-fifth-tier powerhouse.
Under the devastating power of the Luoshen Spear Technique's third ultimate move, even a quasi-fifth-tier expert stood no chance.
Level 51! Cleared.
Level 52.
Level 53.
Level 54.
Level 60.
From this trial onward, the difficulty surged dramatically. Among the dozens of alien powerhouses, half were quasi-fifth-tier experts.
This battle proved exceptionally arduous.
Jiang Ye unleashed his Blood Sea Domain, and it took a full minute to annihilate all his opponents.
Level 70.
In this level, Jiang Ye finally faced an unprecedented challenge: every opponent before him was a quasi-fifth-tier expert.
Each one was a Fallen Star-level or higher dao bone genius!
Jiang Ye had no choice but to activate both his Martial Saint Domain and Blood Sea Domain. With the two domains stacked, it still took him thirty grueling seconds to eliminate all his opponents.
Level 70! Cleared.
"He's already reached Level 70?"
"That's impossible!"
"Am I seeing things? Jiang Ye... really cleared Level 70?" The Chen Clan members stared at the projection screen in utter shock.
At that moment, both the younger generation of the Chen Clan and the high-realm experts above the seventh breakthrough wore expressions of astonishment, tinged with disbelief.
Their shock was understandable.
The seventieth gate!
Historically, only those with Transcendent Aptitude had ever reached this stage.
In the Chen Clan's nearly two-hundred-year history, no one had ever achieved this feat. Originally, Chen Zilu had been the closest to reaching that milestone.
But now, Jiang Ye had surpassed her and achieved it first.
"Truly unbelievable," Chen Yuan marveled inwardly, finally acknowledging Chen Zilu's judgment. "Zilu's eye for talent is far sharper than mine." He now fully endorsed her choice.
Reaching the seventieth gate carried profound significance.
In a sense, Jiang Ye now stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the transcendent!
"Ancestor, Jiang Ye has reached the seventieth gate!" Chen Zilu transmitted telepathically, her voice brimming with excitement. "Did you see that?"
"I saw it," Chen Jiuxuan replied, his expression peculiar.
Nightmare difficulty?
It can't be!
If Jiang Ye can reach the seventieth gate even on nightmare difficulty, where would this old ancestor's face go?
Fortunately!
Whether it was the elders like Chen Fang and Chen Yuan, or Chen Zilu herself, they all tactfully avoided mentioning the topic again.
In truth, whether it was nightmare difficulty or not no longer mattered.
Jiang Ye's achievement had completely convinced the elders of the ancestor's discerning eye.
"Seventieth gate... Jiang Ye should stop here, right?"
"I think we shouldn't jump to conclusions too soon. He might still have more to give," one elder suggested.
"It's truly unbelievable," another elder marveled. "Before this, I never imagined Jiang Ye possessed such potential." The elders continued to discuss, their voices filled with awe.
Just then, someone shouted, "Look!"
"Jiang Ye has broken through to the seventy-first level!"
"No, he's already at the seventy-second level! Wait, now it's the seventy-third!"
"He's still pushing forward?!"
"Jiang Ye is still steaming!"
"Could this not be his limit yet?" The hundreds of Chen Clan members present erupted into a frenzy.
Almost everyone abandoned their own cultivation to stare intently at the projection screen.
Seventy-three levels!
Seventy-four levels!
Seventy-five levels!
Seventy-six levels!
The name soared skyward, seeming to glow with divine light, causing the crowd to hold their breath.
Too fast.
Jiang Ye's breakthrough speed was astonishingly rapid!
In just a few minutes, he had cleared multiple levels, closing in on the threshold of the eightieth level.
"He's at the seventy-ninth level now."
"Can he reach the eightieth level?"
"Surely not?" The Chen Clan members held their breath, even Chen Jiuxuan and the elders couldn't help but focus intently.
In the past, the Chen Clan's highest record had only reached the seventy-ninth level—a record left by their ancestor.
The eightieth level? No one had ever succeeded in reaching it.
Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, time ticked by.
Just a few dozen seconds later...
On the projection, the name flashed again:
Trial-taker Jiang Ye, 80th Trial
"80th Trial!"
"Did he actually succeed?"
"Holy shit! He broke the record! Jiang Ye shattered the historical record!"
"Jiang Ye broke the Chen Clan's record!" Hundreds of Chen Clan members erupted into a frenzy, their voices rising in a clamorous uproar.
The Chen Clan's record had been broken by a foreign clan chief.
This... was it a good thing or a bad thing?
But one thing was certain: the scene left an indelible impression on everyone.
"It's still climbing! He's still climbing!"
"81st Trial, 82nd Trial... Can Jiang Ye keep pushing higher?"
"Is he aiming for the 100th Trial?"
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the projection screen.
On the projection, Jiang Ye's trial level continued to skyrocket!
83rd Trial.
84th Trial.
85th Trial.
90th Trial!
91st Trial!
92nd Trial!
"My god!"
"What kind of monster did Zilu fall for?" Chen Yuan exclaimed, his face etched with shock. He had been completely won over by Jiang Ye's performance.
If Jiang Ye had only reached the 60th Trial, Chen Yuan would have been pleased, thinking his daughter had good taste.
If Jiang Ye had reached the seventieth level, Chen Yuan would have been pleasantly surprised, feeling like he had stumbled upon a hidden treasure.
But now?
Jiang Ye had actually reached the ninetieth level—a feat far beyond what even those with Transcendent Aptitude could achieve!
What kind of monstrous talent was this?
Chen Yuan wasn't the only one stunned; Chen Fang and the other elders also wore expressions of shock.
"He's still going?"
"This...?"
"Jiang Ye...?" Chen Fang, Chen Yuan, and the others were nearly numb, staring blankly at the projection screen.
Could Jiang Ye really be aiming for the hundredth level?
In the Chen Clan's centuries of history, nothing like this had ever happened before!
Suddenly, Chen Fang turned to Chen Jiuxuan, the ancestor, and thought to himself, Don't panic. Look at the ancestor. His expression is so calm—he must have foreseen this outcome long ago.
Truly, the ancestor's vision far surpasses ours.
At that moment, Chen Fang was completely humbled by the ancestor's foresight.
Meanwhile, Chen Jiuxuan stared at the projection screen, feeling a dizzying sensation. Am I nearing my end, hallucinating? For a moment, he couldn't distinguish reality from illusion.
