659 Wu Ming’s Arrival
As the hazy flames enveloped the planet, Lan Zhu watched with intense focus as s.p.a.cetime waves swept in from every direction, their power increasing with each pa.s.sing moment.
“Hmph.” Lan Zhu reached out and tapped gently.
Instantly, billions of flames lit up like candles in the void, chasing away the darkness and expelling it completely. It was as if boulders were preventing the s.p.a.cetime waves from stacking, causing them to gradually calm.
“Ah, some improvement I see,” Kemodi, the silver-robed elder, said with a hint of surprise.
But the next moment, nearly a light-year of s.p.a.cetime around them turned into a box, trapping Kemodi, Lan Zhu and the Lv. 10 battle planet inside.
“Not good.” The human Origin lifeforms on the planet panicked, their only hope resting on the shoulders of the cosmic legend, Lan Zhu.
A dark glow erupted from Lan Zhu’s chest, revealing a black cube.
Bathed in its light, the flames on Lan Zhu’s body became even more dazzling.
“Incinerate,” Lan Zhu said with a cold detachment.
The billions of flames—now enveloped in dark light—began to burn through s.p.a.cetime, tearing holes in the perfectly crafted s.p.a.cetime box.
“It looks like you’re quite well-prepared this time,” Kemodi commented with a smile. “Unfortunately, even if you prepare a few more high-dimensional treasures, you can’t hide the fact that your high-dimensional strength is too weak.”
“You can’t fight me with a weak foundation.” Kemodi’s strength came from the high-dimensional strength of Eternal lifeforms, while Lan Zhu had only studied the flames of Firstborn lifeforms.
Their strengths were fundamentally different.
“Begone,” Kemodi said, looking into the distance. And as he did, the surrounding s.p.a.ce began to shatter, extending to where Lan Zhu stood.
Everything was shattering, and it extended to where Lan Zhu was.
Huh? Black snakes flew out of Lan Zhu’s body, burning with flames as they fended off the destructive power that threatened to shatter everything.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
But as the snakes raised their defense, cracks appeared on their bodies, and in seconds, one collapsed.
The 36 black snakes fought with all their might, but they were no match for Kemodi’s strength. One by one, they collapsed.
Lan Zhu’s expression changed as he realized that even the new move he created with the secret treasure couldn’t withstand Kemodi’s power. The black cube on his chest quickly expanded, becoming even larger than the Lv. 10 battle planet.
The black cube enveloped the Lv. 10 battle planet, protecting Lan Zhu and the team of human Origin lifeforms.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The crushing force corroded the black cube, but it couldn’t seep in.
“Hiding inside a high-dimensional treasure?” Kemodi said calmly. “Then, it’s mine.”
With that, a strange white stream of air wrapped around the black cube.
“If Lord Lan Zhu can’t withstand it, why doesn’t he escape with us?” The Origin lifeform teams on the Lv. 10 battle planet were puzzled.
“There’s no rush. There’s still something up our sleeves,” Lan Zhu said, appearing beside the Lv. 10 Origin lifeforms. He looked up at the strange white stream of air wrapping around the black cube and said, “Deputy Dean Wu Ming, please take action to deal with this Void Celestial, Kemodi.”
He spoke very calmly.
The expressions of the human Origin lifeform team and Kemodi changed when they heard that.
“Deputy Dean Wu Ming?”
The human Origin lifeforms were naturally excited and delighted.
“Deputy Dean Wu Ming is coming?”
“Deputy Dean Wu Ming is the strongest cosmic legend of our cosmic human race.”
“He’s about to make a move?”
“Once he makes a move, the Void Celestial’s cosmic legend, Kemodi, will be nothing.”
The Origin lifeforms were extremely fanatical. Xu Jingming enjoyed an extremely high prestige among the human race! Despite being corrupted by high-dimensional powers, he still managed to become a cosmic legend in just 1,800 years and grasp third-realm high-dimensional powers.
n.o.body in human history had accomplished such a heaven-defying feat.
He was the number one person below high-dimensional lifeforms and the representative of miracles! Compared to Xu Jingming, who was the Void Celestial, Kemodi?
…
Huh? The silver-robed elder’s heart raced as he heard the name. Wu Ming? Wu Ming is going to make a move?
Wu Ming had never taken action at the border after he became a cosmic legend. Every Void Celestial cosmic legend knew him—the legendary monster who had mastered Heart Realm Force without a legacy!
Whoosh.
Suddenly, an invisible force descended and materialized into the black-robed Xu Jingming. His robe seemed to contain endless darkness and an immense attractive force.
He’s here! Kemodi couldn’t help but feel nervous as he saw Xu Jingming.
His reputation preceded him.
Many cosmic legends believed that Xu Jingming was even more terrifying than the three strongest cosmic legends of the Void Celestials. They had complete legacies and treasure troves of precious artifacts, but Xu Jingming was corrupted by the powers of higher dimensions. Without a legacy, it was infinitely harder for him to become a cosmic legend.
From a psychological perspective, many cosmic legends admired this human cosmic legend.
Kemodi couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. Why does Xu Jingming’s robe keep drawing my gaze?
Suddenly, Kemodi realized that he couldn’t look away, and his mind and consciousness were consumed by darkness.
Buzz!
As Xu Jingming descended, an invisible force spread out in all directions.
The white stream of air and the s.p.a.cetime shattering force were crushed under its impact. Even Kemodi suffered from the force—his body exploded with a bang before reforming.
Kemodi’s expression turned solemn and nervous.
Xu Jingming smiled at him. “This is the first time I’m fighting aliens after becoming a cosmic legend. Kemodi, use all your strength and use your strongest move against me. You only have one chance to attack. After that, you will die.”
Kemodi’s expression twisted in anger. “You’re too arrogant, Wu Ming!”
Grasping third-realm high-dimensional powers?
Kemodi had second-realm high-dimensional powers, powerful legacies, and even high-dimensional weapons. He had been a cosmic legend for many years and was not someone to be trifled with.
“I’ll give you ten seconds to prepare,” Xu Jingming said politely, still smiling.
…
The Primordial Research Inst.i.tute, s.p.a.cetime Island, and Eternal Academy were all on high alert as they monitored the epic battle between cosmic legends.
However, they weren’t the only ones watching. The Void Celestials were also closely observing the showdown.
“Wu Ming has appeared?” Tutenmu exclaimed upon receiving the news, his eyes fixed on the projection in front of him where Xu Jingming and the silver-robed Kemodi were locked in battle.
“Human Wu Ming?”
“Wu Ming is someone who has mastered the Heart Realm Force.”
“I wonder how much of the Heart Realm Force he can unleash.”
The Void Celestial cosmic legends eagerly watched the battle unfold.
While only a small number of cosmic legends were interested in the battle between Lan Zhu and Kemodi, more than 90% of the Void Celestial cosmic legends were engrossed in the intense showdown between Wu Ming and Kemodi.
…
The silver-robed elder’s eyes twitched. I’ll die after attacking? No, not only will I attack with all my might, but I’ll also escape!
When cosmic legends like them fought, high-dimensional treasures were also crucial. They weren’t willing to die and risk losing their treasures to the enemy.
“Human Wu Ming, I’ll let you understand that you can’t underestimate any opponent,” the elder sneered as an hourgla.s.s appeared in his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sand in the hourgla.s.s kept sliding down, even leaking out from the bottom and flying out.
More and more sand flew out, flying at Xu Jingming and shattering everything in its path.
Xu Jingming took it all in.
Every grain of sand had terrifying destructive power. Even the Lv. 10 battle planet that the human race had built would probably be pulverized by the sand in an instant. He even questioned if his black cube high-dimensional treasure could withstand the corrosion of the sand.
This is a Firstborn realm high-dimensional weapon. Xu Jingming was secretly surprised. The Void Celestials are indeed rich. Even cosmic legends can easily exchange for a Firstborn realm high-dimensional weapon.
Be it Lv. 9, Lv. 10, or cosmic legends, the Void Celestials were generally richer than humans at the same level.
The stronger the legacy, the stronger the high-dimensional weapon.
Buzz.
Xu Jingming stood there, and with a thought, his World Force blocked the sand.
The flying sand had terrifying destructive power, but the World Force was tenacious and thick. It easily surrounded the sand.
“What?” Kemodi found it unbelievable. He discovered an invisible obstacle in front of the human, Wu Ming, blocking his s.p.a.cetime hourgla.s.s.
My s.p.a.cetime Hourgla.s.s is a Firstborn realm high-dimensional weapon! I paid a huge price to exchange for it after clearing the race’s a.s.sessment. Coupled with my high-dimensional strength, I’m virtually invincible… How can it be blocked just like that? Kemodi couldn’t accept what was happening in front of him.
“This is your strongest move?” Xu Jingming said. “Then, die!”
“How did you block it? Let me die knowing why,” Kemodi begged, but Xu Jingming ignored him. He felt immense fear.
Whoosh.
Kemodi dissipated like sand and turned ethereal.
“What happened?”
The ethereal Kemodi discovered that the surrounding s.p.a.ce was strange. He couldn’t escape at all.
“Welcome to my world.” A huge face gazed down at him—it was Xu Jingming’s face.
Amidst his horror, Kemodi’s consciousness fell into darkness.
He was dead.
Xu Jingming was the center of a powerful illusory world that he had constructed using the Three Threads of the Heart Realm. This world was used to fight high-dimensional lifeforms and was high-dimensional itself.
Even Xu Jingming had only reached the third level of the Three Threads of the Heart Realm after mastering the Eight Directions Map’s seven-colored secret technique and observing billions of beings living in the illusion for centuries. The illusory world he created was naturally terrifying, containing robust and powerful World Force that easily blocked the corrosion of the s.p.a.cetime hourgla.s.s.
Within its range, even escape methods using high-dimensional powers were useless.
The power of the entire illusory world seeped into Kemodi’s mind, making him extremely weak and instantly obliterating his consciousness.
There are quite a number of treasures.
Xu Jingming stood in s.p.a.cetime with the s.p.a.cetime hourgla.s.s in hand, surrounded by the treasures left behind by Kemodi after his death.
“How arrogant!”
“He’s too arrogant!”
The Void Celestial cosmic legends watching the battle were furious.
“This human, Wu Ming, has improved quite a bit,” Tutenmu looked at the projection in front of him, and his eyes burned with fighting spirit. “Just possessing him and experiencing things aren’t good enough. A life-and-death battle should be able to pry into his true strength.”
