Chapter 1 Entering the Heart Realm

Xu Jingming instantly entered the Heart Realm, then broke through the restrictions of space-time to carry out ultra-long-distance teleportation.

In the Ultimate Land, under the suppression of the rules, other half-step Third Realm beings could only fly, but Xu Jingming could shuttle through the void. In the outside world, Xu Jingming felt even more relaxed. He locked onto a location from afar and instantly crossed a large amount of abyss space, directly arriving at the Heart Realm of the area.

"Hmm?" The monarch of this layer of abyss space, 'Monarch Kang Bei', raised his huge head and glanced over, his eyes revealing astonishment. "Is that Wu Ming?"

Xu Jingming didn't stop and continued a new ultra-long-distance teleportation.

"Phew." Monarch Kang Bei breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems he's just passing by. Luckily, I didn't go to the Nanting 3609 Territory!"

Many abyss monarchs went to the Nanting 3609 Territory. Nearly half within the sphere of influence of Featherfire City went! Monarch Kang Bei was obviously cautious and didn't participate.

"This is a great calamity for the abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings," Monarch Kang Bei said silently. "Those who are drawn into this calamity have no escape!"

...

The Lord of Chang Ming, dressed in a blood-colored robe, stood on the earth, ruling this layer of abyss space.

"Chirr chirr chirr~~~" All the life in this layer of abyss space, whether abyss lords or weak, newly born abyss imps, all felt the arrival of death.

"No!!!"

"Who is trying to kill us?"

"Who is it?"

Countless devils in the entire abyss space were filled with despair but were unable to resist, each being crushed into pure energy. In just a blink of an eye, this layer of abyss space was left with only the Lord of Chang Ming.

The energy formed by the crushing of countless living beings caused an energy storm to form in this layer of space.

"Those abyss lords all have avatars in the outside world, allowing them to escape this calamity," the Lord of Chang Ming said silently. Although he could easily kill an abyss lord, he couldn't kill those abyss lords across vast distances through the transmission of causal power alone.

"He's coming fast."

The Lord of Chang Ming raised his head. He could sense through karma that Wu Ming was heading straight for him at an unimaginable speed. "825 targets, and he's coming to kill me first? He does think highly of me."

He didn't flee. His multiple avatars were scattered everywhere, so there was no point in fleeing.

"It seems I'm really going to die." The Lord of Chang Ming pondered, "I've always wondered how I would die."

"Would it be because of a special perilous land? Because of the punishment of the Third Realm? Or some other unknown calamity? But I never imagined that I would be killed by another half-step Third Realm being," the Lord of Chang Ming mocked himself with a smile.

Whoosh!

A figure crossed space-time and appeared in this abyss space. It was Xu Jingming, whose name now struck terror into the hearts of countless abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings.

"You're here?" The Lord of Chang Ming looked up at Xu Jingming.

"825, you're the first," Xu Jingming said, looking at him.

"I'm quite honored to be ranked first," the Lord of Chang Ming said with emotion. "From the Nanting 3609 Territory to my layer of abyss space, such a vast distance, and you only needed ten breaths of time. Your travel speed far surpasses ours. Oh, one last question: can I still live? Is there room for negotiation?"

Xu Jingming stretched out his hand, and a phantom spear appeared in his hand. "You want to stall for time?"

The Lord of Chang Ming's expression stiffened.

"I can see that your avatar in Featherfire City is rushing towards 'Featherfire Mountain'," Xu Jingming said. Monarch Featherfire had set a rule that fighting was prohibited on Featherfire Mountain, so as long as one could escape to Featherfire Mountain, they could guarantee their safety for a short time.

Of course, Featherfire Mountain was prohibited from being inhabited, and the time one could stay on Featherfire Mountain was also limited. But as long as one could live a little longer, there might be variables. Naturally, the Lord of Chang Ming was also rushing towards Featherfire Mountain.

"You won't make it in time," Xu Jingming said, holding the spear. "I've recently comprehended some spear techniques and need to test their power."

The Lord of Chang Ming stared at Xu Jingming intently.

Having cultivated to this point, he wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want to die! He wanted to live! He hadn't lived enough of the life of an abyss monarch, doing whatever he pleased.

Xu Jingming held the spear, instantly transforming into a dazzling light. As the light flew across the sky, it became increasingly dazzling, its power seeming to increase a hundredfold, a thousandfold, finally piercing through the Lord of Chang Ming's body!

The Lord of Chang Ming clearly saw everything, but he was unable to move, unable to resist, and could only be struck.

"I can't dodge, I can't block, I'm destined to die. Is this the power of the Third Realm?" The Lord of Chang Ming felt that when this terrifying light passed through his body, its power was far beyond his imagination.

This body in the abyss space instantly died.

His consciousness was still active because his avatars in other territories were also experiencing the same thing.

"Across space-time, kill!"

The power of Xu Jingming's spear, following karma, instantly crossed vast distances. First, it locked onto the Lord of Chang Ming's avatar hidden deep within a perilous land. The rules of that perilous land couldn't stop Xu Jingming's power at all.

"For ordinary experts, the power of their moves decreases greatly along the karmic connection. If the distance across space-time is too far, it decreases even further. But my power... transcends time and space, directly locking onto the target. Surprisingly, 30% of the power can be transmitted!" Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness controlled this power and was also amazed. "If it were a true Third Realm existence, the power wouldn't diminish much even across vast distances, would it?"

Xu Jingming was already amazed that it only diminished to 30%.

"Pfft."

"Pfft."

"Pfft."

This light crossed space-time along the karmic connection, like skewering gourds, killing the Lord of Chang Ming's avatars hidden in different areas one by one. No matter where the Lord of Chang Ming hid, he couldn't escape this light.

Finally, this light appeared in Featherfire City and passed through the body of the Lord of Chang Ming's last avatar, which was frantically rushing towards Featherfire Mountain.

The reason why the Lord of Chang Ming's avatar in Featherfire City was killed last was because the rules of Monarch Featherfire here were quite suppressive. Xu Jingming's power was suppressed when transmitted here, leaving only 20% of its power, but that was enough to kill the Lord of Chang Ming!

"No—" The Lord of Chang Ming looked at Featherfire Mountain in the distance. At this moment, he was very angry. Why was the suppression in Featherfire City so strong, forcing them to only be able to fly slowly, taking a long time to reach Featherfire Mountain?

The Lord of Chang Ming was dead.

When his last avatar died, it also represented his complete death. All his life imprints throughout space-time were erased by Xu Jingming.

"Chang Ming is dead."

"Wu Ming didn't lie. He really intends to completely kill us. Chang Ming is the first!"

At this moment, the abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings felt even more panicked. They had previously hoped that this Wu Ming didn't have the ability to kill all their avatars across space-time through karma.

But obviously, in a one-on-one situation, when Xu Jingming used his near-strongest spear technique, its power was enough to cross space-time and kill them.

"Everyone, think of ways to survive."

"Let's each use our own methods."

These abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings could only try their best. The avatars in Featherfire City were also rushing straight to Featherfire Mountain.

As long as they could climb Featherfire Mountain and be protected by Monarch Featherfire, they would be safe.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry."

"We must be fast. This Wu Ming is still attacking."

One by one, the abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings were rushing to Featherfire Mountain. Fortunately, they usually lived in the inner city, which was quite close to Featherfire Mountain.

But on the way to Featherfire Mountain, they clearly sensed the death of one abyss monarch after another.

"Buzz."

They even saw with their own eyes not far away, an abyss monarch being struck by a beam of light and falling completely.

"Monarch Chi Jiu is dead, Monarch Mo Yan is dead, Monarch Bai Yanfeng is also dead..." On their way to Featherfire City, an abyss monarch died completely every few minutes, making them even more anxious.

Featherfire Mountain was getting closer and closer!

"Hurry up the mountain." At this moment, they only hoped that their avatars could temporarily hide on the mountain.

"Bang."

The first few figures that flew towards Featherfire Mountain were knocked away by an invisible force.

"What's going on?" The group of abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings who were rushing over were shocked.

At the foot of Featherfire Mountain, a coiled giant serpent appeared. It was Monarch Featherfire's personal disciple—Feathersnake, who was also the manager of the entire Featherfire Mountain.

"My master has issued an order," Feathersnake said, looking down at them. "Featherfire Mountain is temporarily closed. No outsiders are allowed to enter the mountain."

"Brother Feathersnake, why are you closing the mountain at this time?"

"Brother Feathersnake, you have to find a way to let us up the mountain."

The abyss monarchs said anxiously.

Feathersnake watched them coldly. "I have no way to disobey my master's orders."

"When will the mountain be reopened?" An invincible half-step Third Realm being asked.

"When my master says it's reopened, it will naturally be reopened," Feathersnake shook his head. "As for now, I don't know how long the mountain will be closed."

"This is deliberately putting us to death!" An abyss monarch said anxiously.

"How can Monarch Featherfire be like this? Monarch Featherfire has always had compassion for the weak and has always been fair to us. How can he help that Wu Ming at this time?"

"This is deliberately favoring Wu Ming!"

Many abyss monarchs said urgently.

For a long time, Monarch Featherfire had always been very benevolent and fair.

"Favoring?"

Feathersnake looked down at the group of abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings below and sneered, "Even if you can climb the mountain and survive for a while, according to the rules of Featherfire Mountain, when it's time to descend the mountain, all living beings must descend. You'll still have to die then! Since that's the case... don't bother struggling. Just stay at the foot of the mountain and wait to die."

After Feathersnake finished speaking, he disappeared, not bothering to pay attention to them.

In Feathersnake's eyes, they were just a group of living beings who were about to die completely.

"Closed?" They had no way to deal with it.

"What Feathersnake said is right. Even if we temporarily go up the mountain, we will still be driven down when the time comes. If we want to truly survive, we must rely on ourselves," an invincible half-step Third Realm being turned and left.

The abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings could only leave helplessly one by one.

Inside the inner city of Featherfire City, at Xu Jingming's residence.

Xu Jingming was looking in the direction of Featherfire Mountain from afar.

"It's closed?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "I originally planned to eliminate all 825 of their other avatars and then guard at the foot of the mountain! Once they were driven down the mountain, I would eliminate them one by one. Now it seems there's no need for such trouble."

"19 have already been killed. On to the next one."

Xu Jingming closed his eyes.

For him, this was also another kind of cultivation.

For Heart Realm spear techniques, burying oneself in comprehension is one method of cultivation, and killing is another way to practice the spear!

...

Time flowed on. The entire region affected by Featherfire City was in a state of alarm. Countless half-step Third Realm beings understood that the abyss monarchs and invincible half-step Third Realm beings, who once did whatever they pleased in this region, were facing an unprecedented calamity. They were dying completely one by one.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

Throughout Featherfire City, countless living beings were silent, observing the progress of this calamity.
