Jiang Ye swiftly and decisively eradicates a Nine-Break Shadow Race member. This display of power shocks the nearby Li and Zhou Family Demigods. The Shadow Race lair, alerted and angered by the loss, unleashes a horde of shadows, including several Nine-Break powerhouses, to eliminate Jiang Ye.

This progression allowed for an early grasp of the Ninth Break Mid-period, even the Late Period!

By that time, any breakthrough into these two Great Realms would become effortless for Jiang Ye, devoid of any bottlenecks.

"Exhilarating."

"Fight!" Jiang Ye's battle intent surged skyward; he didn't rush to dispatch the three Nine-Break Shadow Race members before him but instead used them as a crucible for self-tempering.

Time flowed onward.

Amidst the blood-drenched combat, ten minutes vanished in the blink of an eye.

"This Jiang Ye..."

"How can he possibly hold out this long?" The Zhou Family's Demi-God's complexion turned ashen.

As a powerhouse of the demigod level, he possessed certain trump cards.

If he truly desired to depart, this Shadow Race lair might not be able to detain him, though it would come at a cost.

The sole reason for his lingering was to witness Jiang Ye's demise with his own eyes.

After all, Jiang Ye had already become privy to his clandestine dealings with the Shadow Race.

Most crucially, the Zhou Family's Demi-God had detected the presence of the Li Family's Demi-God; should Jiang Ye survive, his own unease would undoubtedly intensify.

"This impudent brat can unleash such might..."

"He must be employing some clandestine Secret Technique." The Zhou Family's Demi-God's gaze turned frosty: "I refuse to believe you can sustain this indefinitely."

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ye, locked in a fierce struggle against the three Nine-Break Shadow Race, was suddenly enveloped by a palpable aura of malice.

"What is this?" Jiang Ye's internal alarm bells began to ring.

Ever since the fortuitous windfall from Huanglong had descended upon him, any intent to harm him was now foreseen by Jiang Ye.

This heightened intuition was something Jiang Ye had become intimately familiar with.

Someone harbored ill intentions towards him!

"Zhou Huai Feng..." Jiang Ye's gaze sharpened, a torrent of thoughts racing through his mind.

He distinctly recalled Zhou Huai Feng's earlier exchange with that rasping voice.

This old scoundrel was, in fact, a traitor to their very civilization!!

It was evident that Zhou Huai Feng's pact with the Shadow Race was not a solitary transaction; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked venturing into the heart of the Shadow Race lair himself.

However, this time, he had made a critical miscalculation.

Pondering this, the coldness in Jiang Ye's eyes intensified.

"Old fool, you've finally lost your composure?" Jiang Ye scoffed coldly, realizing that further delay was now untenable.

As he continued to decimate the Shadow Race forces.

The augmentations from 'Territorial Expansion' and 'Blood-colored Dusk' became increasingly potent.

[Territorial Expansion: Increased by 30% (+1000%)]

[Blood-colored Dusk: Increased by 750%]

"That suffices." With a flash of clarity, Jiang Ye felt as though an invisible barrier had completely crumbled.

"Slaughter!"

Jiang Ye's spear lunged forward with explosive force, the power behind this thrust magnified tenfold compared to before.

Boom~ Crack!!

Even before its arrival, the spear light began to tear fissures in the void.

"Perish." Jiang Ye's eyes gleamed coldly as the spear light swept across the heavens, aimed directly at the most formidable Nine-Break Mid-period Shadow Race adversary.

"What?"

"This power?" A flicker of disbelief crossed the Nine-Break Mid-period Shadow Race's eyes.

It had no time for contemplation, only sufficient moments to unleash a torrent of dark energy, conjuring a shield of impenetrable blackness before itself.

This obsidian barrier appeared unremarkable at first glance, but closer inspection revealed nine overlapping layers, each possessing a unique and intricate configuration.

[Demigod Level Technique · Nine Shadows Shield!]

This was an ancestral skill of the Shadow Race, capable of deflecting nine fatal assaults, renowned as one of their most formidable defensive arts.

Consequently, Shadow Race members beyond the Ninth Break were exceptionally challenging to fell.

"Boom!"

In an instant, Jiang Ye's spear had sliced through the 'Nine Shadows Shield'.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Thus, nine shields disintegrated sequentially. Within moments, five complete layers had been pulverized by the spear's luminescence, leaving only three intact.

The spear light itself was entirely consumed in the fierce confrontation.

"Blocked!" The Nine-Break Mid-period Shadow Race harbored a fleeting surge of elation.

But mere moments later, its expression contorted into sheer astonishment.

"Swoosh!" An intangible force, riding the wake of Jiang Ye's spear, effortlessly permeated the remaining three shield layers and surged into its very being.

Void Law!

Bolstered by the terrifying enhancements of Territorial Expansion and Blood-colored Dusk, the potency of this law had ascended to unprecedented heights.

In that single instant.

"Crash~" The Nine-Break Mid-period Shadow Race dissolved like an ephemeral illusion, leaving not even a whisper of residue.

Ninth Break Mid-period, annihilated!
