"Seventy alien powerhouses."
"All at the early-stage fifth breakthrough?" Jiang Ye's gaze swept across the battlefield. "And every single one possesses invincible dao bones."
In that instant, Jiang Ye realized this would be an incomparably arduous battle.
"Then let the battle begin."
"Kill!" Jiang Ye gripped his long spear tightly and charged forward, taking the initiative to strike at the swarm of alien powerhouses.
Without a doubt, this would be the most challenging battle Jiang Ye had ever faced.
From the moment the battle began, Jiang Ye found himself retreating step by step under the relentless assault of dozens of fifth breakthrough experts.
Even his Martial Saint Domain and Blood Sea Domain failed to establish any dominance.
Seventy fifth breakthrough experts!
Their sheer numbers were overwhelming.
More critically, every single one was a top-tier genius with invincible dao bones. This was unlike previous levels, where not all opponents possessed such rare talent.
Jiang Ye felt immense pressure.
Domain—Ten Thousand Tides!
Domain—Myriad Manifestations!
In an instant, two tangible waves of energy erupted from Jiang Ye's body.
Ten Thousand Tides Domain!
Myriad Manifestations Spear Domain!
This was the first time Jiang Ye had revealed these two domains, his ultimate trump cards!
"Kill!" Jiang Ye roared, his voice transforming into a tangible tidal wave that shook the heavens and earth.
Under the Ten Thousand Tides Domain, Jiang Ye's voice carried the Divine Essence of Heaven and Earth, capable of piercing the soul.
Combined with the Saint-Shattering Pupil's effect, even numerous fifth breakthrough experts would momentarily lose their composure.
Meanwhile, the Myriad Manifestations Spear Domain bypassed physical defenses, inflicting massive true damage.
This technique, when stacked with the Martial Saint Domain and Blood Sea Domain, represented Jiang Ye's ultimate combat power.
Furthermore, with the territorial expansion ability, his attributes had been boosted by over 2000%.
In that moment, Jiang Ye's combat power had reached an unprecedented peak!
Whoosh!
His eyes ice-cold, Jiang Ye gripped his long spear tightly and swept it horizontally.
Boom!
The spear tip flashed across the battlefield!
A spear's radiance swept across the heavens and earth, blindingly brilliant. Enhanced by an invisible domain, the strike's power reached terrifying heights.
The very fabric of reality seemed to tremble!
Many alien powerhouses, still disoriented by the Ten Thousand Tides Domain and the Saint-Shattering Pupil, remained in a daze.
By the time they regained their senses, a terrifying spear's radiance, capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, was already descending upon them.
Puchi! Puchi!
In the blink of an eye, the spear tore through the bodies of seven or eight fifth breakthrough experts. Invisible shockwaves rippled outward, instantly reducing their mangled remains to nothingness.
Nirvana Divine Essence!
Honed through countless battles, Jiang Ye's mastery of the Spear Art Divine Resonance had reached a state of unparalleled refinement.
In a single exchange, he had slain seven or eight fifth breakthrough experts.
Such overwhelming combat prowess left even Bai Gui astonished.
But the battle was far from over.
The remaining fifth breakthrough experts, having recovered from their daze, roared in fury and unleashed their most devastating killing techniques.
Moreover, they were subtly forming a formation, intent on encircling and annihilating Jiang Ye.
Dozens of fifth breakthrough experts with invincible dao bones, forming a massive formation, unleashed combat power of terrifying proportions.
There was no doubt that what followed would be an incredibly arduous and protracted battle of attrition.
"Ninety-ninth level."
"Heavens!"
"This is insane." Outside, the Chen Clan members stared intently at the projection screen.
From the seventieth level to the ninetieth, the Chen Clan's experts had initially been shocked and astonished. But as time passed, they gradually grew numb to the spectacle.
Now, a different, complex emotion filled their eyes.
Throughout the history of the hundred cosmic refinements, no one had ever truly reached the hundredth level.
But today!
They might witness the birth of this historic moment.
"Can Jiang Ye succeed?"
"Can he actually reach that stage?"
"The hundredth level... no one has ever achieved it before." Elders like Chen Fang and Chen Yuan also watched the screen intently, their hearts pounding with nervous anticipation.
Under the collective gaze of countless eyes, time ticked by relentlessly.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Before they knew it, an entire day had passed.
Just as everyone was beginning to feel weary, suddenly—
The projection screen hanging in mid-air finally flickered to life.
Jiang Ye, Hundredth Level
The entire world fell silent for a moment.
Then, just seconds later—
"He did it!"
"Jiang Ye did it! He actually made it to the hundredth level!!"
"Holy shit!!"
"This is insane! Am I dreaming?" The Chen Clan erupted in chaos, every face etched with disbelief.
The hundredth level.
Jiang Ye had truly reached the hundredth level—the final challenge!
Unprecedented!
"Jiang Ye..."
"He's this strong?" Chen Jue's face was a mask of shock.
The hundredth level—what did that even mean?
Even with Transcendent Aptitude, it should be impossible!
"I actually envied such a genius before," Chen Jue thought bitterly. "How foolish of me."
He had previously resented Jiang Ye for taking his spot.
He had even secretly questioned the ancestor's decision.
But now?
Recalling his past attitude, Chen Jue couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. Thank goodness I didn't voice my doubts aloud, or I'd have nowhere to hide now.
"He actually did it?"
"Jiang Ye actually made it!" Chen Jiuxuan felt a wave of dizziness.
The scene unfolding before him only deepened his sense of disbelief.
"Don't get ahead of yourself," Chen Jiuxuan muttered to himself. "He's only reached the hundredth level. Whether he can pass it depends on his performance from here on out."
The hundredth level, as the final challenge of the hundred cosmic refinements, was undoubtedly incredibly difficult.
"Ancestor!"
"How difficult is the hundredth trial?" Chen Yuan couldn't help but ask, addressing the ancestor for the first time.
The reason was simple: no one present wished for Jiang Ye to pass this trial more than he did.
If Jiang Ye succeeded, it would be a historic moment for the entire Chen Clan, worthy of being recorded in their annals.
As his future father-in-law, Chen Yuan would share in this glory.
"How difficult?" Chen Jiuxuan glanced at him. How would I know? I haven't even attempted it myself!
"Starting from the seventieth trial," Chen Jiuxuan mused, "you'll encounter opponents one minor realm above your own, with comparable innate talent."
"Given the pattern of difficulty spiking every ten trials," he continued, "the hundredth trial will be at least three levels harder than the seventieth."
The Chen Clan elders nodded in agreement.
Indeed, that was the established pattern.
In the Hundred Cosmic Refinements, the difficulty surged dramatically every ten trials.
Chen Zilu, for example, had been halted at the sixty-ninth trial. Taking even one more step forward would have been exceedingly challenging.
"Considering Jiang Ye's current realm," Chen Jiuxuan pondered, "in the hundredth trial, he might face an early-stage fifth breakthrough cultivator."
