Jiang Ye's unprecedented ten-thousand-meter Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect at the peak of Sixth Break astonished Yan Song and drew the gaze of all twelve Divine City Lords. Facing Zi Yaozhi's projection wielding four basic mysteries, Jiang Ye unleashed five intertwined Heavenly Mysteries, crushing his opponent and clearing the fourteenth layer. The City Lords, stunned by the twenty-year-old prodigy's feat, deemed him a monster rivaling a Talent of Heaven and clamored to claim him as disciple, only for Black Obsidian to fiercely refuse. As the hoarse voice warned of the fifteenth layer's deadly perils for even Extraordinary Talents, Jiang Ye gazed knowingly at his foe's dissipating form.

"Just as anticipated."

"Zi Yaozhi here is merely a duplicate." Jiang Ye pondered, "At the peak of Sixth Break, this individual had already grasped four basic mysteries?"

A genius!

Jiang Ye genuinely admired, this guy was undoubtedly a genius.

He managed to grasp five basic mysteries with the aid of the ’Five Elements Fire’, yet fundamentally, it stemmed from the system.

After all, the Five Elements Fire originated from the system.

This very fact made Jiang Ye grasp how tough it was to master several basic mysteries.

"No surprise then."

"I sensed such a strong threat earlier." Jiang Ye reflected inwardly, "Back then, I might not have stood a chance against him."

Jiang Ye held firm belief in his power, yet he possessed keen self-knowledge too.

The true Zi Yaozhi’s cultivation had reached Seventh Break.

Without Jiang Ye advancing to Seventh Break Realm himself, matching him would prove challenging.

"But now..." A grin suddenly appeared on Jiang Ye’s face.

Reaching this stage in the tower, his power had transformed dramatically.

Even more crucial, Jiang Ye now better understood his battle prowess.

"If I unleash several buffs at once." Jiang Ye contemplated silently, "Battling Zi Yaozhi becomes entirely feasible."

Exactly!

Until this moment, Jiang Ye hadn’t deployed those achievement buffs—his strongest hidden ace.

"From the fifteenth floor onward, it’s the arena for exceptional geniuses?"

"Very well then." Jiang Ye gazed upward, "Unleashing everything, I’m curious how far I can climb."

"Hmm."

"First, claim the reward treasure." Jiang Ye headed to the prior battlefield.

Amid the battlefield floated a cluster of golden light.

This represented the opportunity prize from the fourteenth floor.

Whoosh!

Jiang Ye extended his hand to seize it, pulling the treasure free from the glow—a golden-red fruit now rested in his palm, releasing a profoundly alluring aroma.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!

Once the fruit appeared, the ambient heaven and earth seemed stirred, as countless heavenly mysteries surged toward it eagerly.

"What’s this?" Jiang Ye exclaimed in wonder.

Supreme treasure!

With a single look.

Jiang Ye determined this fruit’s value far exceeded the top eighth-level enlightenment treasure he’d claimed earlier.

"Odd."

"It doesn’t resemble an enlightenment treasure, but it draws in heaven and earth mysteries?" Jiang Ye marveled inwardly.

Even with his insight, identifying this item eluded him.

Right at that moment.

"A Law Fruit!" Bai Gui’s voice rang out, laced with shock.

"Law Fruit?" Jiang Ye blinked in surprise.

Another unfamiliar term surfaced.

"This can boost your law levels." Bai Gui clarified, "It might even allow condensing fresh laws!"

"Boost laws?" Jiang Ye held his breath.

Elevating laws proves incredibly arduous.

Take his Ashen Law, stuck at early Seventh Break Realm—did it lack the will to advance?

Far from it.

Law breakthroughs dwarf mystery ones in difficulty.

A treasure assisting law elevation? Jiang Ye had never encountered such before.

At minimum, in Black Obsidian City, they were incredibly rare... Most folks never even touch laws, much less improve them.

"Furthermore."

"This Law Fruit’s prime benefit might not be law enhancement at all." Jiang Ye mused, "But law condensation instead!"

"Still."

"It matters little to me." Jiang Ye laughed lightly.

The Five Elements Fire serves as the ultimate tool for condensation.

Given sufficient time, half a year in retreat would let Jiang Ye use the Five Elements Fire to form new Heaven and Earth Laws.

Naturally, just for formation.

While the Five Elements Fire aids perceiving five basic mysteries, it can’t handle laws.

Laws demand Jiang Ye’s personal comprehension.

...

Securing this area’s reward, Jiang Ye wasted no time and pressed on to the fifteenth floor.

Meanwhile.

Zi Yaozhi and Bai Xi had exited the Black Tower.

"What?"

"Someone remains inside the Black Tower?" Zi Yaozhi froze upon leaving, spotting the massive projection hovering above.

He stood stunned.

"Jiang Ye?"

"After clearing the fourteenth, he’s tackling the fifteenth?" Zi Yaozhi’s brow jerked, "Is this fellow insane?"

He’d sensed Jiang Ye’s presence long ago.

From Jiang Ye’s tenth-floor breakthrough, Zi Yaozhi knew, initially dismissing it, but by the fourteenth, he grew vigilant.

Now, Jiang Ye’s decision shocked him further.

He’d poured everything into barely passing the fourteenth.

The fifteenth? Zi Yaozhi understood attempting it meant certain doom.

"Does Jiang Ye court death?"

"Or does he actually possess that strength?" Zi Yaozhi’s gaze sharpened as he stared at the projection.

...

In another spot.

"Jiang Ye?"

"Unexpectedly, this generation’s top talent in Black Obsidian City isn’t Mo Xin, but Jiang Ye." Bai Xi glanced at the projection.

"Such a shame, he’s biting off more than he can chew."

Clad in light white gauze, Bai Xi appeared stunning and innocent, yet she shook her head faintly, brimming with regret.

To her, Jiang Ye forcing the fifteenth floor equaled suicide.

Simple reason.

The fourteenth floor yielded to exceptional talent.

But fifteenth onward demanded heavenly prodigies; history showed only they succeeded.

Every extraordinary talent who dared the fifteenth perished without fail.

Why would Jiang Ye differ?

...

"Jiang Ye."

"Don’t perish!" Zhao Zixuan lingered below the Black Tower, her pretty face etched with worry.

Beside her, Zhao Zishuang stayed silent, though her balled fists spoke volumes.

"What’s Jiang Ye thinking?"

"Why challenge the fifteenth?" Zhao Zishuang gnashed her teeth, "Didn’t I warn him no extraordinary talent has ever cleared it?"

Though their acquaintance was brief.

She refused to witness Jiang Ye’s downfall—he was the first she’d met with such brilliant talent, perfectly aligning with her tastes in looks and temperament.

"Jiang Ye, stay alive." Zhao Zishuang whispered a prayer.
