Chapter 2697 - 4: Discarded Like a Chess Piece!
"To ascend, head to the subspace interior yourself. I’ve calculated your ascension time and slowed down the pace. Once you’ve ascended, follow me. If you’re unable to catch up, I won’t wait for you. Consider it a breach of contract."
"Alright."
The seemingly cold words of the Insect Queen reached Jia Yan’s ears, and he hurriedly responded.
Indeed, the Insect Queen realized that Jia Yan was eager to ascend.
This time, it wasn’t a false desire; he truly wanted to ascend.
At such speed, if the Insect Queen hadn’t known, Jia Yan was only using one-third of his previous speed to ascend half a year later, she might have thought his Talent was not remarkable.
In actuality, even seeing Jia Yan cultivate every three days and quickly reaching the threshold of ascension, she still had many grievances.
Because if Jia Yan maintained this cultivation method in the future, there would be no talk of cultivation speed, with no way to catch up with other talented Galaxy Level beings.
In other words, Jia Yan’s value in terms of collaboration diminished, though using the term ’collaborative value’ might be less offensive. After all, she wants many Galaxy Level Strong Ones to accompany her and supplies massive resources, which isn’t just being generous without return. Without cultivation speed and strength, she’d incur losses.
That’s the reason for the Insect Queen’s slight displeasure with Jia Yan.
Poof!
Jia Yan didn’t think too much.
He directly tore the subspace nearby.
The entire Energy Circle interior suddenly shook.
Obviously, this tearing by Jia Yan caused significant damage to the Energy Circle.
Of course, this was due to the ’back door’ opened for him by the Insect Queen. Without her, a mere Middle Stage Star River lifeform probably couldn’t so casually tear her Energy Circle.
Hoo.
Jia Yan stepped into the subspace interior.
Then, he looked deeply at the Energy Circle.
In fact, Jia Yan was already pondering if he truly breached the agreement.
"Forget it, breakthrough first, and then assess the situation."
He stepped into the subspace interior.
Buzz.
The Energy Circle behind, almost instantly when Jia Yan entered the subspace interior, flew out of his visual range.
That speed was unimaginably fast.
"So fast, even inside, such speed is unfathomable, along with such a massive Energy Circle. The Insect Queen’s Power, along with the technology of the Insect Clan’s Domain, is simply unimaginable."
Jia Yan was somewhat amazed.
Nevertheless, he didn’t dwell on it.
"Upgrading in normal space definitely won’t do; the outside is unknown. Furthermore, the distance to Milky Way Central is not far, surely the Strong Ones here are both dense and powerful. If they found out there’s a stranger breaking through within their territory, they’d surely investigate, and if they wanted to attack during my vulnerable and unprepared breakthrough period, I’d be in peril."
Jia Yan completely abandoned the idea of leaving subspace to ascend in normal space.
Anyway, he had grown accustomed to upgrading within subspace.
"The surrounding energy suddenly decreased a lot; surely the energy inside the Energy Circle is ten or even hundreds of times more than the outside."
Jia Yan assessed the Power outside the subspace where he was, and Cosmic Power is something every Cosmic Strongman understands. So he instantly realized that in the Energy Circle, even if it had been reduced for traveling, the energy inside couldn’t be compared to external.
He also paid no mind to much else, swiftly retreating from one-degree subspace to three-degree subspace.
"Going deeper would require using physical strength to resist, which would affect ascension. So three-degree subspace should be optimal; anyone not intentionally investigating subspace should remain unaware of a breakthrough happening here."
Jia Yan stopped within the three-degree subspace.
Then, he poured all the remaining energy from the Adisa Backpack into the subspace exterior.
Sizzz.
The energy in the backpack was the purest Power. Within the distortion of three-degree subspace, it wasn’t instantly distorted or devoured, though a strange sound emanated during contact.
Jia Yan dared not wait too long and promptly began devouring more Power.
This devouring was extraordinarily fast.
The strength within his body, like a terrifying liquid with no place in the world, instantly transformed into a higher-level Strength Feeling.
This was the forewarning before ascension.
After half a year of delay, Jia Yan finally reached the critical point for ascension.
"Middle Stage Star River, hurry on!"
Jia Yan murmured silently and immersed himself in the feeling of breaking through...
Within the interstellar, a Strongman descending from subspace is hard for most Starfields to detect.
This doesn’t mean a Starfield wouldn’t discover it.
Particularly, before this Strongman arrived, a terrifying force swept through the entire Starfield.
"Hmph, you daringly passed through my Starfield without any prior notice. Is this a rural force heading towards Milky Way Central? Though in the countryside, you might be reckless and unrestrained, but how dare you treat the distance to Milky Way Central with such rural arrogance, simply a bit naive beyond measure!"
