Luoshen Spear: Minor Mastery (5%) → (6%)
An hour of intense combat had increased his mastery by a full 1%!
What an absurd rate of progress!
It's important to understand that the Luoshen Spear Technique had already advanced to divine-grade. Over the past half-month, Jiang Ye had diligently practiced daily, yet his progress had only been a mere 4%.
In other words, the improvement gained from this battle was nothing short of astonishing.
"However," Jiang Ye mused inwardly, "this is the Luoshen Spear Technique's first actual combat since reaching divine-grade. It's only natural for the initial progress to be rapid."
During the battle, Jiang Ye deliberately refrained from using his Domain Ability or ultimate moves, focusing solely on honing his spear technique.
In truth, if he had unleashed his full power, he could have effortlessly swept aside those alien powerhouses in mere seconds, rather than the hour it took.
As for the "insane" difficulty, that was only relative. For ordinary Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivators, this level of challenge would be a nightmare-grade ordeal.
"The difficulty will likely escalate further from here," Jiang Ye thought.
"Good."
"My spear technique still has vast room for improvement." A hint of anticipation flickered in his eyes. "I'll use these hundred cosmic refinements to test my limits!"
Within the hundred cosmic refinements, he faced opponents of equal cultivation level. Such opportunities were invaluable.
Engaging in brutal combat with formidable opponents of his own rank, with the difficulty escalating with each stage—this trial space was practically tailor-made for him.
Just then,
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Figures materialized around Jiang Ye, each radiating a palpable aura of power. These were all formidable warriors from various alien civilizations, their forms diverse and imposing.
Arrive at the Other Shore Star to pass the trial.
A faint subtitle appeared.
"The second trial has begun?" Jiang Ye looked up.
In the sky, an even more colossal celestial body emerged—an ancient star radiating an immeasurable aura of antiquity.
It seemed identical to the first trial:
To pass, he needed to set foot on that ancient star suspended in the sky.
Could it be...
The Hundred Cosmic Refinements connects to one hundred stars? Jiang Ye speculated inwardly.
One hundred ancient stars linked together, forming a cosmic path. Each star he ascended represented the completion of a trial.
If true, what a monumental undertaking this must be!
As Jiang Ye pondered,
"Aliens?"
"Kill him."
"Kill!" The alien warriors erupted with intense killing intent upon spotting Jiang Ye.
In the next instant, countless beams of light converged upon Jiang Ye, some gleaming like blades, others shimmering like swords, each a terrifying killing move.
These deadly strikes tore through the void, causing the very fabric of space to tremble.
"It seems," Jiang Ye's eyes flashed, "it's just like the first trial. These alien races all belong to the same faction."
Without hesitation, he roared, "Kill!" His figure blurred, transforming into a fleeting afterimage as his long spear swept across all directions.
Boom!
A terrifying spear aura erupted, unleashing an astonishing surge of energy.
Clang! Clang! Clang! The spear light collided with the incoming strikes, unleashing deafening roars. Each impact sent visible shockwaves rippling outward, shattering the ground for thousands of meters in every direction.
The destructive power of a Late Stage Fourth Breakthrough cultivator was truly astonishing.
In mere moments, the landscape within dozens of kilometers had been utterly devastated. The earth seemed torn asunder, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation.
"They're strong," Jiang Ye mused inwardly. "Their strength is clearly a step above what I faced in the first trial. Perfect for honing my skills."
If the enemy's strength were to surge too rapidly, escalating to a life-or-death battle, Jiang Ye would be forced to unleash all his trump cards at once.
While a life-or-death battle could certainly lead to a significant breakthrough, it would typically be a breakthrough in the overall direction, rather than in the finer details.
Jiang Ye's spear technique, having already reached divine-grade, lacked precisely these 'finer details'.
After all, the Luoshen Spear Technique was Jiang Ye's own creation.
While its ultimate moves possessed formidable power, many of its finer aspects remained imperfect.
The gradual increase in the enemy's strength was precisely what he needed to refine these details, like a frog slowly being boiled in warm water, allowing him to peel away layer by layer.
"Come on."
"Fight!" Jiang Ye roared, his long spear growing increasingly sharp and relentless.
In his eyes, these alien races were no longer mere enemies, but tools for his growth.
"If I can fight my way through this entire trial," Jiang Ye thought, his anticipation growing, "my Luoshen Spear Technique will undergo a complete transformation!"
Boom! Boom!
Jiang Ye gripped his long spear, his spear technique becoming increasingly fluid and lethal. The Great Sun rolled onward, ceaselessly clashing with the surrounding enemies.
If a divinity proficient in the Spear Dao were present, they would have noticed a subtle change in Jiang Ye's spear technique compared to his performance in the first trial.
The difference was minute, almost imperceptible.
Yet this slight refinement had amplified the power of his spear technique by at least ten percent.
This underscored the critical importance of mastering the details of spear technique.
Once Jiang Ye fully perfected these nuances, his strength would undoubtedly undergo a transformative leap.
Time flowed onward as Jiang Ye immersed himself in relentless combat during the second trial.
He showed no haste in eliminating his opponents.
Instead, he reveled in the endless slaughter, honing his skills through constant battle.
After an hour, Jiang Ye had slain all the alien powerhouses, completing the second trial. Without pausing, he immediately entered the third.
Several more hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, Jiang Ye sensed his spear technique had advanced to a new level.
"My spear technique... it's broken through again!" Jiang Ye felt a sudden flash of insight, immediately perceiving the shift in his technique.
The Luoshen Spear Technique had been refined in countless minute details.
Crack! In the depths of his spirit, it felt as if some invisible shackle had shattered.
Jiang Ye's spear technique had surpassed its previous limits!
"The enemies here no longer serve any purpose for me," Jiang Ye declared, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield.
A formation of numerous alien powerhouses unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks that engulfed Jiang Ye like a tidal wave.
For the past several hours, Jiang Ye had stubbornly resisted this onslaught.
But now?
With his spear technique having broken through, the overwhelming attacks seemed utterly feeble in his eyes.
"Break!" Jiang Ye swept his long spear horizontally, unleashing the true power of his spear technique.
Whoosh!
A dazzling spear light materialized, slashing through the sky and leaving a white trail in its wake.
