Chapter 783 - 783 Meeting Sovereign Yaming Again
Xu Jingming didn’t dare linger, fearing that the battle’s commotion would attract other formidable beings. This was the mountains, after all, a domain where countless invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses roamed, far surpassing his own abilities.
Whoosh.
As he journeyed on, hundreds of Xu Jingmings sat cross-legged within the pocket universe he carried with him. The illusory sphere hovered before them.
A halo shimmered across the surface of the illusory sphere. Guided by Xu Jingming’s consciousness, the sphere transformed, giving rise to an immense and intricate Abyss. With the passage of time, the illusory Abyss expanded, growing vast beyond measure and emanating a terrifying, invisible aura.
In combat, I usually conjure the Abyssal Void with a mere thought. However, the entire burden falls upon my mind and consciousness, Xu Jingming pondered. But with this wonder, it can serve as a conduit for the Abyssal Void, and I have ample time to construct it gradually. The Abyssal Void I create... it will be even more expansive and formidable.
The process of constructing it with a single thought was undoubtedly distinct from meticulously shaping the Abyssal Void without any time constraints.
Freed from the strain on his mind and consciousness, Xu Jingming could fashion the illusory realm of the Abyssal Void to his heart’s desire, thus rapidly augmenting its power.
After more than three hours, the illusory sphere had transformed entirely into an expansive illusory abyss.
The Abyssal Void I fashioned in just over three hours has reached my current limit. Thankfully, I possess this wonder as a vessel. Otherwise, my mind and consciousness would crumble beneath the weight of such an immense illusory realm, Xu Jingming mused, a smile gracing his face. Setting aside the Abyssal Void for now, he began to meticulously study the three characters he had obtained by slaying the mutated beast.
The three characters, when combined, formed a perfect representation of a new direction.
Xu Jingming scrutinized the three characters intently, while his clones traversed the boundless lands outside, examining the over 1,000 characters they had collected and contemplating various combinations.
Could this be a power from a higher dimension? Xu Jingming was already astounded by studying each character individually, but when he explored the fusion of the three characters, his astonishment grew even greater.
His clones continued their journey outside, and the mental strain was negligible. Almost all of his focus was dedicated to deciphering these enigmatic characters.
...
In a pavilion nestled within Feather Fire City, Xu Jingming, Ancient Tree World Lord, and Thearch Dragon Island Lord were gathered, savoring their drinks as they engaged in lively conversation.
“Today, I lost one of my clones in the Ultimate Land,” said Ancient Tree World Lord with a sigh. “Of all the companions who embarked on that journey with me, only you and North River remain.”
“To think I died, while North River still remains alive!” Thearch Dragon Island Lord couldn’t help but interject. “I’ve reached out to numerous acquaintances. Even in the outskirts of the Ultimate Land, one can encounter invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns.”
Ancient Tree World Lord nodded solemnly. “I perished at the hands of an Abyss Sovereign. From a distance, I witnessed a clash of powerhouses in the mountains, so I proceeded with utmost caution. I preferred to remain in the outer regions rather than venture into the inner region. Little did I know that today, shortly after I sought refuge, I would encounter an Abyss Sovereign! Moreover, he made off with all the mysterious characters I had amassed.”n).OvelbIn
“I’ve also lost the few third-realm weapons I brought with me,” Thearch Dragon Island Lord lamented, feeling the sting of his loss. He had painstakingly gathered them over time.
Xu Jingming furrowed his brow. “Even invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns have infiltrated the outer regions?”
“Yeah.” Thearch Dragon Island Lord confirmed with a nod. “I’ve made inquiries! It seems that the competition within the inner region is fierce. Certain invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns believe that the mysterious characters hold great importance. Consequently, they venture to the periphery to hunt down weaker half-step third-realm powerhouses, pillaging vast quantities of these mysterious characters.”
Xu Jingming grew wary. He had a clone situated in the outer region.
“The outer region spans vast expanses. With caution and vigilance, there remains a chance of eluding capture for an extended period,” Ancient Tree World Lord advised. “You and North River are the sole survivors among us. North River is relying on you, so you must persevere a little longer.”
Some things could be obtained with ease, while others remained elusive no matter how diligently he searched. Xu Jingming could only maintain his composure and exercise patience.
Huh?
Xu Jingming’s eyes sparked with excitement. In the distance, he caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous shadow within the forest, causing his heart to inexplicably flutter. Merely the sight of a distant shadow affects my mind? It must be an extraordinary treasure!
Without hesitation, Xu Jingming swiftly approached.
But at that very moment, two auras erupted from afar.
Boom! Boom!
“Haha! I’ve beaten you to it. This treasure belongs to me!” A tall figure clad in black robes emitted a dark aura, gripping a translucent staff tightly in one hand.
Xu Jingming’s heart quivered as he beheld the scene. Given his realm, he instantly recognized that the material of the translucent staff was identical to that of the Heart Spirit Beads. After all, he had refined numerous Heart Spirit Beads and was intimately familiar with them.
A single Heart Spirit Bead is equivalent to three drops of Abyssal Mother Blood. A staff crafted from the same material... would be comparable to thousands, or even more than 10,000 Heart Spirit Beads. Although Xu Jingming was unsure of the staff’s exact purpose, he could venture a guess. A staff constructed from such a multitude of Heart Spirit Beads would undoubtedly possess miraculous effects on the Heart Realm lineage.
Merely observing it captivated Xu Jingming’s mind and soul. It was truly an immensely precious wonder of the Heart Realm lineage.
Wonders that he had never heard of before seemed to appear randomly within the Ultimate Lands. Unfortunately, they were not his to claim.
“I was a step too slow.” Another figure bathed in scorching white light glared at the scene with frustration.
When opponents possessed similar strength, it became exceedingly challenging for one to seize a treasure after it had been snatched away.
In the Abyss, Abyss Sovereigns were on par with invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses.
“Yaming, consider yourself fortunate.” The white-hot figure shot a cold glance at Sovereign Yaming, then at Xu Jingming, before swiftly departing.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming promptly retreated.
“Retreating, are you?”
A dark aura instantaneously barred Xu Jingming’s path—it was the towering Sovereign Yaming. Having already stowed away the wondrous staff, he observed Xu Jingming with keen interest. “Wu Ming, do you believe you can escape?”
Xu Jingming met his gaze. “Sovereign Yaming.”
“I sensed your presence when you lunged for that wonder.” Sovereign Yaming’s eyes exuded a cold darkness. “Speaking of which, you managed to elude me at Feather Fire Mountain, didn’t you?”
Beings like Sovereign Yaming possessed formidable memories. Even if they hadn’t personally experienced an event, they would never forget what they had witnessed in the timeline, let alone what they themselves had encountered.
“Sovereign Yaming, I have no desire to be your enemy.” Xu Jingming slightly lowered his head, signifying his submission.
“I have no interest in killing you.” Sovereign Yaming’s frigid gaze brimmed with anticipation. “But I am intrigued by your treasures!”
