797 A Calamity

Xu Jingming effortlessly entered the Heart Realm, breaking free from the constraints of s.p.a.cetime and engaging in an incredible long-distance teleportation.

In the Ultimate Land, where the laws suppressed others of similar power, Xu Jingming possessed the ability to traverse the void. Now in the outside world, Xu Jingming moved with ease. He targeted a distant location, swiftly pa.s.sing through numerous Abyssal s.p.a.ces, until he arrived in the Heart Realm of that area.

Huh? Sovereign Kangbe, the ruler of this layer of the Abyssal s.p.a.ce, looked up in surprise. Is that Wu Ming?

Xu Jingming didnt pause for a moment, continuing his remarkable teleportation across vast distances.

Phew! Sovereign Kangbe breathed a sigh of relief. It seems hes merely pa.s.sing through. Thank goodness I didnt head to the South Pavilion 3609 Dominion!

Many Abyss Sovereigns had gone to the South Pavilion 3609 Dominion, with nearly half of those within Feather Fire Citys influence involved. Sovereign Kangbe, however, exercised caution and refrained from partic.i.p.ating.

This calamity is a disaster for Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm beings, Sovereign Kangbe pondered. Theres no escaping it for those caught up in this catastrophe!

Sovereign Yaming, his body covered in a blood-red robe, stood firmly on the ground of his realm within the Abyss.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

All lifeforms in this Abyssal s.p.a.ce, from the mighty Abyss Overlords to the feeble newborn Abyssal demons, sensed the arrival of impending death.

No!!!

Who wants us dead?

Who is it?

Countless demons within the Abyssal s.p.a.ce despaired, yet they were utterly powerless to resist. They were crushed and transformed into pure energy. Within a matter of seconds, only Sovereign Yaming remained in this layer of the Abyss.

The energy released from the countless disintegrated beings transformed the spatial layer into a tempest of power.

These Abyss Overlords possess clones elsewhere, allowing them to evade this calamity, Sovereign Yaming silently acknowledged. Although he could easily slay an Abyss Overlord, he couldnt eliminate them across distant s.p.a.cetime.

He came so quickly.

Sovereign Yaming glanced up, his senses tingling with the unmistakable karma of Wu Ming charging toward him. Out of the 825 targets, Im his primary objective? He must hold me in high regard.

Escape was futile; he had dispersed numerous clones throughout the area.

Looks like Im really going to meet my end, Sovereign Yaming mused. I once wondered how Id meet my demise.

Would it be due to a treacherous perilous zone? Punishment from a being of the third realm, perhaps? Or some unknown calamity? But I never expected to fall at the hands of another half-step third-realm powerhouse. Sovereign Yaming chuckled, his tone self-deprecating.

Whoos.h.!.+

A figure traversed s.p.a.cetime, materializing within the Abyssal s.p.a.ce. It was Xu Jingming, causing expressions of countless Abyss Sovereigns and formidable half-step third-realm powerhouses to change.

Youre here? Sovereign Yaming raised his gaze to meet Xu Jingmings.

Among the 825, youre the first, Xu Jingming stated, eyeing him intently.

Im honored to hold the top spot. Sovereign Yaming sighed. You traveled from the South Pavilion 3609 Dominion to my Abyssal s.p.a.ce in a mere 30 seconds. Your speed surpa.s.ses our own by far. Oh, by the way, I have one final question. Can I still survive? Is there any room for negotiation?

Xu Jingming extended his hand, conjuring an illusory spear. Trying to buy yourself some time?

Sovereign Yamings expression froze.

I can see your clone charging toward Feather Fire Mountain in Feather Fire City, Xu Jingming remarked. Feather Fire Lord had established a rule forbidding battles on Feather Fire Mountain, so if Sovereign Yaming could reach it, he could ensure temporary safety.

Of course, habitation on Feather Fire Mountain was prohibited, and there were time limitations. But if he could cling to life a little longer, circ.u.mstances might change. Naturally, Sovereign Yaming made a beeline for Feather Fire Mountain.

You wont make it in time, Xu Jingming declared, gripping his spear. Ive recently mastered a new spearmans.h.i.+p technique and need to test its power.

Sovereign Yaming stared at Xu Jingming, his expression grave.

Having cultivated to this level, he didnt fear death, but he yearned to live. He desired existence as an Abyss Sovereign who could revel in boundless freedom for a little while longer.

Xu Jingming brandished his spear, transforming into a radiant beam of light.

As the luminance soared skyward, it grew increasingly dazzling. Its might multiplied a thousandfold, before ultimately piercing through Sovereign Yamings body!

Sovereign Yaming bore witness to it all, helpless to dodge or resist. He could only stand there and endure the blow.

I cant evade or deflect. Im undoubtedly done for. Is this the might of a third-realm powerhouse? Sovereign Yaming felt the terrifying radiance pierce through his body, surpa.s.sing all expectations.

In this Abyssal s.p.a.ce, his body perished instantly.

Yet, his consciousness remained active, as his clones across the other dominions shared the same experience.

Crossing through s.p.a.cetime, peris.h.!.+

With an overwhelming strike, Xu Jingmings power transcended the boundaries of distant s.p.a.cetimeguided by the intricate web of karmaand pinpointed Sovereign Yamings hidden clone nestled deep within a treacherous zone. The rules governing that perilous realm proved feeble against the might of Xu Jingming.

Normally, the potency of a powerhouses attacks would diminish significantly when traversing through karma. The further the distance, the greater the decrease in power. Yet, my strength It has defied the constraints of s.p.a.cetime, precisely targeting its mark. Astonished, Xu Jingming marveled, I am able to transmit 30% of my strength! Were I to be a true being of the third realm, my power would likely remain formidable even after traversing great spans of distant s.p.a.cetime, wouldnt it?

Xu Jingming found it quite surprising that the decrease amounted to a mere 30%.

Pfft.

Pfft.

Pfft.

Like a luminous spear, this beam of light pierced through the fabric of s.p.a.cetimeguided by the intricate threads of karmaand eradicated Sovereign Yamings clones scattered across various domains. No matter where Sovereign Yaming sought refuge, this radiant beam remained inescapable.

The final surge of brilliance materialized within Feather Fire City, impaling Sovereign Yamings last remaining clone, who raced frantically towards Feather Fire Mountain.

The clones survival until this point was owed to the restrictive laws imposed by Feather Fire Lord in Feather Fire City. Even Xu Jingmings might was stifled here, reduced to a mere 20% of its true strength. Nevertheless, the demise of Sovereign Yaming was secured.

No Sovereign Yaming gazed towards the distant Feather Fire Mountain, seething with fury. Why does Feather Fire City possess such potent suppression? Why must our flight be painfully sluggish, delaying our arrival at Feather Fire Mountain?

Sovereign Yaming met his demise.

With the death of his final clone, Sovereign Yamings existence was extinguished entirely. Every trace of his life within the vast expanse of s.p.a.cetime was obliterated by Xu Jingming.

Yaming has perished.

Wu Ming was not deceiving us. His intent to eradicate us utterly is genuine. Yaming was his foremost target!

The Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses spiraled deeper into panic. They had once clung to the hope that Wu Ming lacked the capability to traverse s.p.a.cetime and vanquish their countless clones.

However, it became abundantly clear that in a head-to-head confrontation, Xu Jingmings power possessed the capacity to traverse distant realms, annihilating their duplicates with his quasi-ultimate spearmans.h.i.+p.

Everyone, we must devise a means of survival.

We must exhaust every avenue available.

These Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses racked their minds for solutions. Their clones within Feather Fire City too hastened their journey towards Feather Fire Mountain.

Once they ascended Feather Fire Mountain and enjoyed the protection of Feather Fire Lord, safety would be within reach.

Hurry, hurry.

We must hasten our pace. Wu Mings a.s.sault persists.

Driven by urgency, the Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses raced towards Feather Fire Mountain. Fortunately, their usual dwelling places lay in close proximity to this sanctuary.

Yet, as they made their way to Feather Fire Mountain, they felt the unmistakable demise of one Abyss Sovereign after another.

Buzz.

Their eyes bore witness to an Abyss Sovereign, not far in the distance, being engulfed by a radiant beam of light before crumbling into nothingness.

Sovereign Clam Dovegone. Sovereign Demon Flamefallen. Sovereign Hundred Swallow Phoenixlikewise perished As they hastened towards Feather Fire City, an Abyss Sovereign met their complete demise every few minutes, intensifying their growing restlessness.

Feather Fire Mountain drew near at an accelerated pace!

Quickly, make for the mountain. In this desperate moment, their sole desire was to have a clone take refuge upon the summit.

Bang!

The figures in the forefront darted towards Feather Fire Mountain, only to be repelled by an imperceptible force.

What is happening? The group of Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses, hurtling forward, found themselves taken aback.

A coiled serpent materialized at the base of Feather Fire Mountain. It was none other than Feather Snake, Feather Fire Lords esteemed disciple and the overseer of Feather Fire Mountain.

Master has given his command, Feather Snake declared, peering down upon them. Feather Fire Mountain is presently sealed. No outsider shall ascend its slopes.

Brother Feather Snake, why would you seal the mountain at this critical juncture?

Brother Feather Snake, you must devise a means to grant us pa.s.sage to the summit.

The Abyss Sovereigns implored, their anxiety palpable.

Feather Snake regarded them with an icy gaze. Masters orders leave me no choice.

When will the mountains seal be lifted? inquired an invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse.

It shall be removed at the discretion of Master, Feather Snake replied with a shake of the head. As for now, the duration of the mountains seal remains uncertain.

Youre condemning us to certain death! cried out an Abyss Sovereign in panic.

Why would Feather Fire Lord do this? He has always shown compa.s.sion to the weak and treated us fairly. Why is he aiding Wu Ming now?

Hes deliberately showing favoritism to Wu Ming!

Anxiously, the Abyss Sovereigns voiced their concerns.

Throughout the years, Feather Fire Lord had been renowned for his benevolence and equity.

Favoritism?

Feather Snake peered down at the group of Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses, a disdainful sneer on their face. Even if you manage to survive on the mountain for a while, according to Feather Fire Mountains regulations, all living beings must descend once their time is up. At that point, death will still claim you! In that case do not squander your time. Merely await your demise at the mountains base.

With those final words, Feather Snake vanished, dismissing them.

In the eyes of Feather Snake, this group of beings were but the dying remnants.

The mountain is sealed? There was nothing they could do.

Feather Snake speaks the truth. Even if we temporarily ascend the mountain, we shall be expelled when our time is up. If we wish to survive, we must rely upon ourselves, declared an invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse before turning and departing.

Helpless, the Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses could only leave.

Meanwhile, at Xu Jingmings residence in Feather Fire Citys inner district

Xu Jingming gazed in the direction of Feather Fire Mountain.

The mountain is sealed? He nodded in acknowledgment. Originally, I intended to stand guard at the mountains base after obliterating their other 825 clones! Once they were expelled, I would eradicate them one by one. But it seems theres no need for such effort.

Nineteen down, time to move on to the next.

With that, Xu Jingming closed his eyes.

To him, this was yet another form of cultivation. Studying psychic spearmans.h.i.+p was one path of cultivation, but so was the act of killing!

Time pa.s.sed, and an atmosphere of panic gripped the entire domain under Feather Fire Citys influence. Countless half-step third-realm powerhouses realized that the Abyss Sovereigns and their half-step third-realm counterparts, once accustomed to unrestrained authority within the area, now faced an unparalleled catastrophe. They fell one after another.

100, 200, 300

Countless denizens of Feather Fire City watched in hushed silence as the calamity unfolded before their eyes.
