"Captain, what’s wrong?"
Zi Yaozhi and Mo Xin drew near to ask as they noticed Jiang Ye halting.
"An ambush waits beyond the corridor." Jiang Ye whispered softly.
"An ambush?" Zi Yaozhi and the rest showed confusion on their faces.
The Starry Sky Corridor links two entirely distinct Star Domains, sealing off every form of detection inside. How could Jiang Ye detect the ambush?
Little did they know, this stemmed from Jiang Ye’s sharp intuition.
Jiang Ye had always relied on his intuition, which had shielded him from endless perils before.
Such is the advantage of booming luck.
Possessing abundant splendid luck lets one foresee fortunes and disasters, gaining ’intuitive alerts’ right before dangers strike.
Right at this instant.
A foreboding sense warned Jiang Ye that stepping into this Starry Sky Corridor would bring immense peril.
"Is someone lurking on the opposite side?"
"Could it be Mo Wushuang?" Jiang Ye furrowed his brows deeply. "In this Star Domain Battlefield, he’s the only one who’s clashed with me directly."
"No, that doesn’t fit."
"Mo Wushuang would simply charge in to confront me. Why hide outside?" Jiang Ye mused. "Maybe some centennial monsters?"
Young prodigies often charge headlong.
Hundred-year-old monsters, however, stay cautious, content to wait patiently in ambush.
Naturally, other mighty figures might also lurk to strike at travelers.
No matter the case.
Jiang Ye’s intuition alone signaled extreme hazard; pushing ahead might lead to devastating casualties.
While Jiang Ye held total faith in his power, facing a supreme expert could let him survive, yet Zi Yaozhi, Zhao Zishuang, and others would probably perish entirely.
"Captain."
"Why not skip this Star Array altogether?" Zi Yaozhi proposed.
He noticed Jiang Ye’s uncertainty.
"This region has just this single Star Array." Jiang Ye shook his head. "Reaching the next star demands traversing endless starry skies spanning thousands of billions of miles."
"Thousands of billions of miles?" Zi Yaozhi and companions gasped in shock.
At their level, even covering tens of millions of miles posed grave risks, much less such colossal distances.
The starry sky dazzles with grandeur and immensity, yet harbors deadly threats.
Cosmic storms, stellar magnetic tempests, and myriad hazards fill the void—even Ninth Break experts struggle to endure long.
Gods alone can cross the cosmos bodily.
Yet even Gods battle to roam the universe freely, given the staggering gaps between galaxies.
Thus, mighty beings crossing space typically depend on Starry Sky Corridors for aid.
"So..."
"Our only path ahead is through this Star Array?" Zi Yaozhi sighed in resignation.
"Exactly." Jiang Ye affirmed gravely. "I sense mighty foes ambushing beyond the Star Array, posing a severe threat."
Solemn looks spread across everyone’s faces.
For Jiang Ye to deem ’the threat severe’ implied the ambusher beyond the Star Array wielded horrifying might.
"Perhaps top prodigies from Cangxu Civilization or Haisan Civilization?"
"What’s our move?"
"Or the Genius Talent?" Mo Xin and others grew rigid with tension, bracing like foes before a titan.
Speculation about the Genius Talent especially drained color from their faces.
Against the Genius Talent, their full might combined and amplified tenfold still couldn’t rival a single strike.
This marked an insurmountable tier divide.
"Everyone, stay calm."
"Grant me a moment." Jiang Ye declared firmly, "I’ll retreat into seclusion briefly, then we advance once more."
"Understood." Zi Yaozhi agreed, "Brother Wang, proceed; we’ll stand guard."
"Captain, cultivate without worry."
"Captain, best of luck; may you break through triumphantly." The group chimed in succession.
"Mm." Jiang Ye fell silent, vanishing in a blur of motion.
...
Whoosh!
Jiang Ye materialized atop a towering mountain peak.
"My power remains insufficient."
"Forget the Genius Talent." Jiang Ye reflected inwardly, "Even versus those centennial monsters, victory isn’t assured."
Centennial monsters denote experts trained over a century.
They cap their realm at Sixth or Seventh Break, yet their mastery of mysteries hits Eighth or Ninth Break heights.
Ninth Break mastery proves scarce, of course.
Still, mid-to-late Eighth Break or peak Eighth Break marks them as unrivaled forces.
After all, though aged, these centennial monsters shone as peak prodigies decades past... Without such talent, they couldn’t claim ’strongest of the same rank.’
"Those centennial monsters."
"All prodigiously talented with over a century of training." Jiang Ye pondered, "Most have grasped the Five Basic Mysteries, maybe even the Law."
Most vitally.
Across their extended cultivation, they’ve amassed far more Cultivation Techniques than peers!
This realization weighed heavily on Jiang Ye.
"Thankfully."
"I possess ample potential to boost my power." Jiang Ye inhaled deeply, eyeing the panel.
