Chapter 1296 Mountain Top Layer
Chapter 1296 Mountain Top Layer
```
Mountain Top Layer, the sealing screen barrier.
A dazzling light flashed, and two graceful figures appeared from among the stars.
"I'm back!" Xingchen's eyes sparkled translucently, brimming with confidence.
"Ah ah ah!"
"This time, we must succeed!"
Beside her, Jing Yesi silently set up the array formation, much quieter as the lady she was.
They had already tried once but failed.
They thought they could directly ascend upon reaching the Mountain Top Layer, only to encounter an unexpected obstruction.
And the difficulty was extremely high.
Last time, they had exhausted almost all of their strength, yet they still fell short.
Fortunately, Xingchen had the Star Shifting ability; otherwise, if they had failed the assault, facing Divine Mountain's pressure again, they could have easily been eliminated.
After their recovery, they returned for a comeback!
And with the corresponding experience, there should be no problems this time!
"Little Jing, do you think we'll be among the first to enter the Mountain Top Layer?" Xingchen was a bit impatient.
"If everything goes smoothly this time, we should make the top ten," Jing Yesi said at a measured pace while arranging the formation. "Apart from the Six Kings, other teams barely have the strength to directly assault the Mountain Top Layer."
To make it up here withstanding Divine Mountain's pressure, and then to force through to the Mountain Top Layer, the requirement for strength was very high.
They had tried it, so they knew it well.
Even though Xingchen's raw strength was not inferior to the Four Little Kings, her willpower was not as strong.
That was why they failed in their first exhausted attempt.
But after regrouping for this next battle, there shouldn't be any big issues.
"Charge, charge, charge!" Xingchen was anxious: "Wang Ye is already ranked ahead of me; I have to catch up quickly!"
"That's because he chose a cautious strategy, searching for opportunities and spatial treasures in the Mountain Range Layer. The risk on the Mountain Top Layer is too great, with all sorts of unknowns," Jing Yesi explained.
If it weren't for Xingchen's insistence, she would've opted for searching in the Mountain Range Layer.
After all, there were 100 spots in the Divine People Hall selection backup, so there's a high margin for error.
Rankings, besides being more eye-catching, had no additional benefits.
However…
Coming here and seeing the tightly sealed screen barrier, Jing Yesi couldn't help but be curious.
What was the barrier, so meticulously sealed, for?
What was on the Mountain Top Layer?
Was it a great opportunity?

"Divine Jade Unlimited Path," Wang Ye rested his hand on the sealing screen barrier.
He could clearly feel the surge of energy mingling with the Life Divine Jade within him, forming a continuous thread.
It was of the same Perfect Grade, but the energy intensities were vastly different.
That was the Super Divine Jade.
An entire level above Divine Jade!
"How is it?" the Gun Genius asked quietly.
"The difficulty of the summit is not small," Wang Ye replied. "The strength of the sealing screen barrier is enough to hold off the power of the four Ancient Origin Beasts for a short time."
"Ah?" the Gun Genius was surprised.
"Actually, it's a good thing," Wang Ye said. "I believe many teams will have broken against it and returned without success; if we can break through to enter the Mountain Top Layer, our gains will be huge."
"Are you sure?" the Gun Genius inquired.
"I have three methods to break through the barrier," Wang Ye explained.
"The first is the simplest: merge with the same type of Divine Jade Unlimited Path into it. If one can have an epiphany about the Divine Jade Way hidden in the sealing screen barrier and receive guidance, they could enter the Mountain Top Layer."
"More suited for those of the Jade Beauty Divine Race and comprehension-gifted human geniuses."
He, although possessing Life Divine Jade, didn't feel this method was particularly suitable for him.
Nor was it suitable for the Gun Genius, unless her epiphany was related to spear technique.
"The second is pinpoint blasting, something close-combat experts excel at."
"Concentrate the strongest attack power in a burst, but expect to face backlash or rebound."
"The advantage is its straightforwardness. The downside is its unpredictability and not insignificant damage taken if the first strike fails."
The Gun Genius' pupils focused intently on Wang Ye.
She had great trust in Wang Ye.
As long as he said it was possible, she would execute without hesitation.
"That's also not suitable for us," Wang Ye said. "Judging from the second-round leaderboard, we can approximately guess how many teams can enter the Mountain Top Layer."
"No more than ten, at present."
"This shows that the difficulty of pinpoint blasting is extremely high."
Our combined combat prowess as a two-person team is strong.
However, we haven't reached the top ten level.
Forcing the sealing screen barrier would not be a wise choice.
Even if that's what the Gun Genius is best at.
"The third way is energy consumption through attacking with Chaos Skill."
"The sealing screen barrier, which is made up of vast amounts of energy, will naturally collapse once its energy is exhausted."
"The advantage is higher safety, allowing for better control over the situation, avoiding crisis."
"The downside is it takes relatively more time and isn't without significant energy consumption."
There is no perfect method to break the barrier, only methods suitable for different individuals.
The key lies in choosing the right one.
After all, there isn't much time left after reaching the sealing screen barrier.
The opportunity might only come once.
The decision is crucial.
"The third way?" the Gun Genius was very understanding of Wang Ye, besides being intelligent herself.
"Mhm," Wang Ye nodded.
"What should I do?" the Gun Genius asked.
"Conserve strength," Wang Ye replied. "Through the sealing screen barrier, I faintly sense the Divine Mountain's pressure on the Mountain Top Layer is terrifying. If you expend too much in breaking through, you might collapse upon entry."
It's second nature if the two-person team suffered combat damage, but if the Gun Genius was thus eliminated, it would be his fault.
After all, the one who wanted to see the Mountain Top Layer was him.
"Can you do it alone?" the Gun Genius asked softly.
"Let's try," Wang Ye smiled.
He took out the Level 6 Divine Item Bottomless Net Absorption Bottle. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
If he hadn't visited the Dragon Nest for treasures and merged with the jade ball of light No. 1, he wouldn't have had much confidence.
But now, not only did his soul possess a strong core, he also mastered the Dragon Ascending Source Thunder and possessed three super treasures!
He was certainly worth a try!
Whoosh~~
The Bottomless Net Absorption Bottle magnified in an instant above Wang Ye's head.
