Chapter 795 Sharing the Opportunity
Xu Jingming raised his hand, causing a total of 109 third-realm weapons to descend upon the scene. Carefully chosen from a vast array of weapons and treasures, they were the perfect selection for constructing a protective formation around Myriad Star Island.
As rays of light burst forth, an assortment of dazzling, otherworldly sights unfolded
before the astonished eyes of the dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, and Meng Tian.
In the blink of an eye, Myriad Star Island underwent a dramatic transformation! nove/Lb)1n
Countless high-dimensional celestial bodies encircled the island, justifying its name as Myriad Star Island.
"Stay within. Do not venture out," Xu Jingming commanded before soaring away from Myriad Star Island on his own. The release of numerous treasures was intended to shield the island's inhabitants from the perils of conflict.
"How many third-realm weapons did he unleash in an instant?" Tower Master exclaimed, still in disbelief.
"What is Jingming's current level of strength?" the dean whispered involuntarily.
"Exceedingly formidable. Otherwise, over 800 invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns wouldn't have rallied against him," Redmond replied, equally astounded. Recalling how Xu Jingming was once insignificant when his son, Tejano, aided him, Redmond couldn't fathom how Xu Jingming had ascended to this position.
Regrettably, Tejano failed to become a high-dimensional existence and passed away when his lifespan expired.
Like Xu Jingming, Redmond's relatives were no longer around.
Considering Jingming's strength, he might really be able to revive them, Redmond thought to himself. He also missed his wife and Tejano.
...
Xu Jingming found himself under the watchful gaze of more than 800 invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns. As he unleashed a multitude of weapons and treasures to fortify Myriad Star Island, their hearts quivered slightly.
Even though they were aware that Wu Ming had acquired all the third-realm weapons and treasures in the Ultimate Land, witnessing it firsthand still stirred a sense of excitement within them.
"So, this is how you choose to pay me a visit?" After flying out of Myriad Star Island, Xu Jingming cast a cold glance at the 825 figures before him. "You didn't bother sending a karmic voice transmission and instead came straight to my home world?"
"This is also a show of respect for you, Brother Wu Ming," said the gray-robed figure shrouded in black mist.
"I also have a clone in Feather Fire City. If you had any business, you could have visited me there. Why go through all this trouble to come here?" Xu Jingming's gaze bore into them.
These 825 powerhouses keenly observed Xu Jingming's every word and action.
Wu Ming is still trying to act tough, even with all of us gathered here?
What does it matter if he obtained an opportunity bestowed by an Ultimate being? An Ultimate being wouldn't stoop down to deal with mere half-step third-realm powerhouses like us. Haha, even if we were to perish at the hands of an Ultimate being, it wouldn't be in vain.
No matter how great an opportunity is, it takes time to cultivate it into strength. The Ultimate Land has just dissipated, and Wu Ming has only recently acquired his opportunity. He should recognize the situation when the 825 of us join forces.
These powerhouses held contempt for Xu Jingming's bold stance.
"We are here because we sensed, through karma, that the third-realm weapons we lost in the Ultimate Land have ended up in your possession, Brother Wu Ming," said the gray-robed, black-misted figure with a smile. "The number of third-realm weapons you have acquired is immeasurable. Among the 825 of us, we possess barely a thousand weapons and treasures combined. We wonder if you would be willing to return them to us."
These powerhouses no longer concealed their true motives.
Third-realm powerhouses feared the opportunities bestowed by Ultimate existences, refraining from bullying the weak to acquire them. However, invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns like themselves had long been trapped at a bottleneck. They had no such qualms.
"Apologies, but the weapons I acquired in the Ultimate Land are my spoils of war. There is no justification for their unconditional return," Xu Jingming replied firmly. "If you desire weapons, you may purchase them from me. However, I am currently occupied with pressing matters and must enter seclusion for cultivation. Perhaps we can discuss the matter of weapon acquisition a million years from now."
"As for sharing the opportunity..."
Xu Jingming shook his head. "If you were unable to seize the opportunity within the Ultimate Land, it only serves to highlight your unworthiness outside!"
The expressions of the 825 powerhouses subtly shifted. Wu Ming's unyielding nature left them unsettled.
"Wu Ming!" Amidst the assembly, Xu Jingming recognized a familiar figure—it was Sovereign Yaming. Sovereign Yaming bellowed angrily, "Even if you do not wish to share it today, you shall do so! We are not here to negotiate; you have no choice!"
"No choice?" Xu Jingming's gaze bore into him. "Sovereign Yaming, why do you not seek refuge within your Abyssal space and live out your wretched existence? How dare you confront me so boldly? Have you grown weary of life?"
Sovereign Yaming harbored deep animosity toward Xu Jingming.
Thus, he hesitated not to partake in the joint expedition to the South Pavilion 3609 Dominion! He believed that only by aligning himself with the group would he stand a chance at survival.
"Wu Ming, we are aware that you possess numerous scattered clones," the gray-robed figure with a shroud of black mist spoke coldly. "Furthermore, your ability to traverse spacetime obstructions far surpasses our own. But even if you manage to escape, can your species elude us?"
"You are stooping so low merely for an opportunity?" Xu Jingming scoffed. "As expected of Abyss Sovereigns! Of the 825 present, 798 are Abyss Sovereigns, and 27 are invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses."
Indeed, the number of Abyss Sovereigns far surpassed that of invincible half-step third-realm beings.
"Using my species as leverage is a despicable act. While I expect such behavior from Abyss Sovereigns, it is disappointing to witness 27 invincible half-step third-realm beings stoop to such levels," Xu Jingming's gaze swept over the invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses.
Xu Jingming held little regard for Abyss Sovereigns who relied on Abyss Sacrifices.
However, he held some admiration for those who reached invincibility at the half-step third realm through their own efforts.
"Brother Wu Ming, we have long been confined within our limits. This opportunity is our sole chance to reach the third realm. All we ask is for you to share it with us," implored an invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse.
"If you deny us this opportunity, you can't blame us for taking action."
Others chimed in, voicing their collective stance.
"Hahaha... Only 27 invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses this time. It seems that most invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses do have a bottom line." Xu Jingming chuckled. "But as for you, you're despicable and shameless to the core."
"Wu Ming, you're too naive," Sovereign Yaming said. "There's no room for notions of despicability or shamelessness in this world; strength is the only currency. The 825 of us have united here. We possess superior strength, and so you must share it with us, whether you wish to or not!"
Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "Indeed, it all boils down to strength."
Casting a sweeping gaze upon the 825 figures before him, Xu Jingming shook his head gently. "What a pity. Feather Fire City is home to fewer than 2,000 invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns, and now nearly half of them will meet their demise at my hands."
Thearch Dragon Island Lord, the dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, and Meng Tiandu stood in stunned silence.
"You..." The 825 figures found it inconceivable.
"Weren't you all eager to witness the immense opportunity I've obtained?" Xu Jingming's gaze locked onto them. "Very well, I shall fulfill your wish!"
