“It has been half an hour since Jingming set off, and the rules of the territory are still intact. That suggests Jingming hasn’t lost this wager battle,” said Li Miaomiao. “At the very least, he isn’t significantly weaker than his opponent.”

The family nodded in agreement.

The worst-case scenario in this battle was a glaring power disparity that would lead to defeat after just a few exchanges! However, it seemed they had managed to avoid such a dire outcome.

“Don’t get ahead of yourselves,” cautioned Feather Fire Lord, shaking his head. “Wu Ming is heading to a distant spacetime to confront Red Jade Traveler. The flow of time in that other spacetime may differ from ours! It’s possible they have only just begun.”

“Let’s continue waiting a little longer,” Lord Louye suggested. They were all on tenterhooks, fully aware that the life and death of a third-realm powerhouse hung in the balance. freewebno(v)el

The demise of any third-realm powerhouse drew the attention of others of the same caliber.

Under normal circumstances, third-realm powerhouses perished while attempting to ascend to the Ultimate realm. Very few met their end by being entangled in the affairs of Ultimate existences. Over the years, only a select few third-realm powerhouses had the privilege of encountering an Ultimate existence.

In this spacetime, every third-realm powerhouse eagerly anticipated the outcome of this battle.

Hmph, I wonder who will meet their demise, Master of Antinight mused leisurely, savoring his wine. Regardless of who dies, it will be a cause for celebration.

Overlord Sea Rain, too, bided her time.

Wu Ming, you insist on protecting Liu Mangxing and his family, but once you fall, the rules governing your territory will crumble. Who will shield their family with all their might? Overlord Sea Rain’s intent to kill was palpable.

For instance, Xu Jingming had an outstanding karmic debt to Liu Yufeng, a high-dimensional lifeform. Overlord Sea Rain had long held a deep grudge against Liu Mangxing even before she reached the third realm. After she attained the third realm, she didn’t hesitate to annihilate his family. Little did she expect Xu Jingming to resurrect them. Naturally, her resentment ran deep.

…

In the sprawling expanse of the wager’s created spacetime, Xu Jingming and Red Jade Traveler—these two formidable third-realm beings—had descended into a frenzy. Their every move, their every technique, was geared toward a single objective—defeat the other!

Xu Jingming materialized three clones, each wielding a psychic spear. He unleashed the full might of the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls he had mastered.

The reason behind his triple manifestation was that the spear techniques he had unlocked carried an immense mental burden. Employing all three clones simultaneously pushed him to his limits.

These spear techniques were Xu Jingming’s further discoveries, merging the essence of the 129 spear techniques. They hailed from volumes 130 and 131, comprising an arsenal of psychic spear mastery.

Boom! Boom!

The spacetime itself quaked and shuddered.

Xu Jingming’s three clones merged into a single entity, transforming into streams of spear-shaped light that rent through the very fabric of spacetime and encircling Red Jade Traveler.

Red Jade Traveler, in response, divided into two clones.

One clone emanated pitch-black darkness, its aura spreading like an inky abyss. It seemed to harbor a miniature Abyss within, skillfully absorbing Xu Jingming’s assaults and rendering them futile.

The other clone radiated an ethereal brilliance, casting a holy luminescence. Its every motion exuded purity, as if purging the world of all impurities. This clone possessed an indomitable spirit, impervious to harm, with nary a scratch to mar its skin.

He has developed his physical form to such an extent, harnessing the Abyss lineage to unimaginable heights. Few Abyss lineage third-realm powerhouses can rival him. Xu Jingming couldn’t help but marvel at the sight.

A clone harboring a miniature Abyss alone could vanquish Master of Antinight and the rest. Yet, he had cultivated an opposing strength to an equal magnitude.

Xu Jingming realized the complexity of facing both clones in unison.

The Abyss lineage indeed has a radiant and holy aspect, Xu Jingming mused. Many practitioners of the Abyss lineage tread the path of light, safeguarding their minds from corruption. The same applied to the Eternal Tower Master of the human race.

When his two incarnations work in concert, a mere 10% to 20% of my psychic spearmanship manages to penetrate his mental defenses after surmounting his physical obstructions. It is an arduous task to vanquish him. Xu Jingming’s three clones launched their assault with unwavering determination.

Even Red Jade Traveler’s dual clones were taken aback by the relentless onslaught. I’m actually at a disadvantage?

Indeed.

Though Xu Jingming faced difficulties in overcoming Red Jade Traveler, the latter found himself in a precarious position during this confrontation.

I’m taking a beating. Red Jade Traveler simmered with frustration. Ordinary third-realm powerhouses of the Heart Realm lineage cannot breach the barrier of my physical defenses, yet he repeatedly manages to inflict harm upon my mind and consciousness. The corrosive power of my Abyss lineage fails to corrode him!

His body has been refined to its pinnacle, becoming a weapon in itself! When he wields psychic spearmanship, his body transforms into an invulnerable spear.

Red Jade Traveler’s two clones fought valiantly, but they failed to inflict any harm upon Xu Jingming. They were on the receiving end of the assault, firmly placed in a disadvantaged position.

If this continues, my chances of victory will dwindle. Red Jade Traveler yearned for triumph. I must find a way to wound him.

My spearmanship must surpass his, and my mental fortitude must prevail! I have to be stronger to defeat him! Xu Jingming also yearned for victory to survive. He still wanted to continue accompanying his family.
