Cosmic Professional Gladiator Chapter 795 Sharing the Opportunity

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 a.s.sortment 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!

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 pa.s.sed 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 mult.i.tude 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.”

“To you, Brother Wu Ming, it may be inconsequential, but to us, it holds great significance. If you are willing to return them, we shall certainly remember this act of friendship.”

The 825 powerhouses fixed their gaze upon Xu Jingming.

Thearch Dragon Island Lord had already withdrawn to the sidelines. He sensed, to some extent, the malevolent intentions of the 825 powerhouses. They had arrived at Myriad Star Island without prior notice and demanded the return of their weapons from Wu Ming right off the bat. This is not the way to retrieve their belongings. If they genuinely sought to reclaim them, they should have sent a prior message, granting Xu Jingming sufficient time to prepare before discussing the matter of the weapons. Storming over to someone’s home world in such a manner is simply unacceptable.

“Return?”

Xu Jingming gazed at them intently. “Among the 800-plus individuals gathered here, each of you holds either invincibility at the half-step third realm or the esteemed t.i.tle of Abyss Sovereign. Your fame echoes throughout the vast dominions surrounding Feather Fire City. Are these weapons the reason behind your a.s.sembly?”

“Yes,” replied the gray-robed figure enshrouded in black mist, nodding. “Finding a suitable third-realm weapon remains an arduous task.”

“If I were to return over a thousand third-realm weapons to you, would you depart peacefully and vow never to set foot in the South Pavilion 3609 Dominion again?” Xu Jingming inquired, a faint smile gracing his lips as he studied them.

In an instant, a powerhouse spoke up. “Brother Wu Ming, our journey to this place is a rare occasion. Apart from retrieving our weapons, we also wish to engage in a convivial gathering, exchanging ideas with you.”

“Indeed, we have delved into the enigmatic characters found within the Ultimate Land. Of course, your comprehension surpa.s.ses our own. Nonetheless, I believe that the exchange of ideas among all 800 of us would prove beneficial.”

“The path of evolution is riddled with challenges, and the sharing of insights benefits us all.”

These powerhouses chimed in one after another, radiating enthusiasm and kindness.

Thearch Dragon Island Lord had quietly retreated to the safety of Myriad Star Island.

“Thearch Dragon Island Lord, what’s going on?” The dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, Meng Tian, and the others remained perplexed. They possessed no knowledge of the Ultimate Land or the intentions of these powerhouses. All they perceived was an underlying sense of malevolence.

“Wu Ming had acquired a monumental opportunity granted by an Ultimate being,” Thearch Dragon Island Lord gravely conveyed through a voice transmission. “These 800-plus invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns are evidently pressuring Brother Wu Ming to share a portion of his fortunes with them, despite claiming to desire an exchange.”

“What?” The dean and the others suddenly comprehended the unfolding situation.

“They will stop at nothing to seize an opportunity for ascension to the third realm,” Thearch Dragon Island Lord voiced his concerns.

“Will Wu Ming be in peril with over 800 powerhouses joining forces?” Redmond inquired through a voice transmission.

“Yeah.”

Thearch Dragon Island Lord’s voice transmission continued. “In one-on-one combat, Wu Ming could easily vanquish an invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse. However, with over 800 individuals uniting their strengths, the resulting might is beyond fathomable!”

The dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, and Meng Tian felt their nerves tighten. To their understanding, an invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse and an Abyss Sovereign were figures of absolute dread.

Over 800 individuals combining their forces?

They peered out. At that moment, Xu Jingming stood alone amidst the vast expanse, confronting the daunting a.s.sembly of more than 800 powerhouses.

…

“I understand why you’ve come,” Xu Jingming stood confidently in the void, his gaze fixed upon them. “There’s no need for pretense. You seek not just the return of your third-realm weapons, but also a share of the opportunities I’ve obtained.”

“We, too, came across numerous mysterious characters within the Ultimate Land. It appears that the great Ultimate existences allowed us to study them.”

“If you are willing to extend your generosity, we shall be grateful. Surely, you would prefer to have 825 more friends.”

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 a.s.sembly, 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 s.p.a.ce 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 s.p.a.cetime obstructions far surpa.s.ses 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 surpa.s.sed 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!”
