Cosmic Professional Gladiator Chapter 796 One Against 825

796 One Against 825

Just as Xu Jingming finished speaking, he split into a total of 825 Xu Jingmings.

It was fortunate that he had brought back all the clones he had sent to the Ultimate Land; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to send out such a large number of clones at once. If he had only 300 to 500 clones, each clone’s mission would have been more challenging.

“What does he want?”

“It doesn’t matter how many clones he has. He’s from the Heart Realm lineage. They are all controlled by the same mind and consciousness. With 825 clones using ordinary moves simultaneously, his capabilities are limited.”

“Could it be that he intends to use all 825 clones to confront us at once?”

These invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns found it hard to believe. They were well aware of the advantages and flaws of the Heart Realm.

“I will make sure each one of you fully experiences my opportunity,” Xu Jingming said, looking at them. “Haven’t you always longed for it? Well, enjoy it then!”

“Be alert!”

The 825 invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns remained extremely vigilant as they prepared for the upcoming challenge.

Thearch Dragon Island Lord, the dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, and Meng Tian on Myriad Star Island also watched attentively, unwilling to miss a single moment. Their eyes were fixed on the 825 Xu Jingmings, who suddenly burst into flames.

The flames appeared to move slowly, but in reality, they transcended time and s.p.a.ce. The moment they emerged, they penetrated the bodies of every invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse and Abyss Sovereign.

“Enjoy it!” Xu Jingming showed no mercy.

“Wh—”

These invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns were on high alert, but they were still instantly struck and penetrated by the flames emanating from Xu Jingming’s clones. As the flames penetrated their bodies, they felt an indomitable force shatter their physical forms and consciousness.

It was a power from a higher dimension—the power of the third realm!

Back when Xu Jingming had just condensed a spear-shaped divine rune, his clone armed with an ordinary weapon was already comparable to an invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse. However, after studying in the palace complex, his strength had grown exponentially, and his mind and consciousness had undergone a transformation.

Having obtained the complete legacy of the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls, he integrated his fragmented insights and began to rapidly improve.

Even though these invincible half-step third-realm beings and Abyss Sovereigns had joined forces to interrupt his seclusion, Xu Jingming’s strength had greatly increased since he first condensed the spear-shaped divine rune.

As a half-step third-realm powerhouse, I can wield the power of the third realm. Xu Jingming couldn’t help but be amazed at the Ultimate existence.

It was akin to a cosmic legend among lower-dimensional lifeforms employing higher-dimensional powers with a lower-dimensional body! The interim cosmic legend stage significantly increased the chances of becoming a higher-dimensional lifeform.

The same principle applied to the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls. If one could grasp the power of the third realm in advance, their likelihood of reaching the third realm was naturally much higher.

This power was truly a dimensional-reducing strike against these invincible half-step third-realm beings and Abyss Sovereigns.

“We were mistaken.”

“We made the wrong bet. It is beneath the Ultimate existence to attack us, but the opportunities he provided are not easily obtained.”

“Is this the power of a third-realm powerhouse?”

The flames conjured by Xu Jingming’s clones consumed the Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm beings. In an instant, their bodies, minds, and consciousness were reduced to ashes. Nothing remained except for their weapons and other inanimate objects.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The energy surged through the empty s.p.a.ce. The once fearsome a.s.sembly of 825 invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns had vanished completely, leaving behind only floating weapons and lifeless remnants.

“Are they all dead?” The dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, and Meng Tian stood in stunned silence. “One against 825?”

“H-How is this possible? How can he possess such immense strength?” Thearch Dragon Island Lord found it increasingly difficult to fathom. Having a deep understanding of the terrifying nature of the Abyss Sovereign level, he found the sight before him beyond belief. “Using his own body as a weapon to execute psychic moves? Not only did he obliterate their consciousness, but their bodies as well? None of the 825 powerhouses could withstand a single strike?”

Xu Jingming had not even utilized a weapon; the proficiency of his clone’s spearmanship alone exhibited such overwhelming power.

…

Meanwhile, within the influence of Feather Fire City, numerous invincible half-step third-realm beings and Abyss Sovereigns observed the unfolding battle through their spiritual connections.

“What? He singlehandedly eliminated 825 opponents? Effortlessly?”

“Impossible!”

“I suspected he was formidable, but this level of strength? It surpa.s.ses that of a mere half-step third realm!”

These powerful beings were left dumbfounded.

He had decimated 825 individuals on his own. It should be noted that Feather Fire City’s sphere of influence housed no more than 2,000 invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns combined. Based on this, Xu Jingming alone could overpower the entire collective.

“I’m relieved I declined the invitation to join. I had a feeling that opportunities granted by an Ultimate existence wouldn’t come without a steep price.” Abyss Sovereigns exclaimed in relief.

“I refused to partic.i.p.ate from the start because I despised resorting to such underhanded methods. I just never antic.i.p.ated Wu Ming to be this extraordinarily powerful,” murmured an invincible half-step third-realm powerhouse.

“According to his claims, nearly half of Feather Fire City’s nearly 2,000 invincible half-step third-realm beings and Abyss Sovereigns have fallen to his hands. It seems he has no intention of sparing their clones, but instead aims to annihilate them completely.”

“I’m thankful I stayed out of it.”

The invincible half-step third-realm beings and Abyss Sovereigns who had refrained from partic.i.p.ating were both astounded and relieved. They could spectate from the sidelines, but they harbored no desire to become enemies of Xu Jingming.

It was terrifying! How could they possibly contend with someone who could singlehandedly crush 825 opponents?

…

Xu Jingming effortlessly collected the weapons and objects left behind by the 825 powerhouses with a wave of his hand. He remained unfazed by the outcome, fully expecting it.

He possessed mastery over third-realm powers, a level where the timeline couldn’t be pried upon. While the other powerhouses were unaware of Xu Jingming’s true strength, they deduced from his performance in the Ultimate Land that he would flee when faced with a larger number of opponents.

Only Xu Jingming himself knew the truth.

The insights he gained within the palace complex after acquiring the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls had vastly improved. With Xu Jingming’s nature, he abhorred senseless slaughter, but he held a deep reverence for the human race.

Threatening the annihilation of humanity was an affront beyond his tolerance. That was why he stated that nearly half of them would meet their demise.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming flew back to Myriad Star Island.

“Jingming.” The dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, Redmond, and Meng Tian regarded Xu Jingming with a mixture of emotions. They desired to speak, yet struggled to find the right words.

“Wu Ming, have you already attained the third realm?” Thearch Dragon Island Lord couldn’t resist asking. “You obliterated 825 individuals…”

“If I had reached the third realm, I wouldn’t have simply eliminated them but could’ve instantaneously wiped out all their clones,” Xu Jingming replied. “I am still a considerable distance away from the third realm, though not too far.”

The transformation of his mind and consciousness within the palace complex had propelled Xu Jingming forward on the evolutionary path by leaps and bounds. Xu Jingming understood that once he achieved a fundamental grasp of the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls, he would reach the third realm.

It might sound straightforward, but in reality, only a handful of half-step third-realm powerhouses throughout the vast expanse of s.p.a.ce and time had successfully condensed a divine rune. Xu Jingming was the sole individual deemed worthy of cultivating this legacy. The requirements for such an inheritance were incredibly stringent.

“Not far from the third realm?” Thearch Dragon Island Lord’s heart convulsed.

Could Wu Ming truly possess such confidence in attaining the level countless half-step third-realm powerhouses yearned for? If any other being had made such a claim, Thearch Dragon Island Lord would dismiss it as mere boasting. However, after witnessing Xu Jingming’s decimation of 825 powerhouses, Thearch Dragon Island Lord couldn’t help but believe in Xu Jingming’s words.

“Jingming,” Redmond couldn’t help but inquire, “are you on the verge of reaching the third realm?”

“Father-in-law, are you truly about to reach the third realm?” Meng Tian was even more astounded. “Doesn’t that mean you can bring back…”

Xu Jingming gazed at Meng Tian and nodded, a smile adorning his face.

As he delved into the depths of the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls, profound insights flooded his mind. He harbored unwavering confidence in attaining a fundamental mastery. However, the Ultimate existence had presented him with this opportunity as part of an Abyssal Era wager.

“They shall all be resurrected,” Xu Jingming declared with a smile.

“That’s marvelous!” Meng Tian was elated.

“Jingming is on the cusp of the third realm?” The dean, Island Lord, and Tower Master were overwhelmed with astonishment.

Was the human race about to give rise to a third-realm ent.i.ty? The invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns were dispatched effortlessly by Xu Jingming, eradicating any doubt they held regarding his words.

“Brother Wu Ming, did I hear you correctly? Are you stating that half of Feather Fire City’s invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns will perish? Will you obliterate them entirely?” Thearch Dragon Island Lord couldn’t help but inquire.

“I can tolerate other conflicts, but those who threatened the human race deserve death,” Xu Jingming responded calmly.

In the past, Xu Jingming could endure having his treasures s.n.a.t.c.hed or his clones vanquished in battle. After all, the destruction of a clone was a trifling matter in a confrontation between powerhouses. However, when an entire species was at stake, it became a matter of life and death.

“These Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses possess various means of self-preservation, including multiple clones. Can you truly eliminate them?” Thearch Dragon Island Lord found it difficult to believe.

“Alone, I cannot eliminate all 825 of them, but I am confident in one-on-one combat,” Xu Jingming stated. “I will exert myself and hunt them down one by one until they are eradicated.”

Thearch Dragon Island Lord’s heart quivered.

“In truth, some Abyss Sovereigns and invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses have sought mercy through me,” Thearch Dragon Island Lord disclosed. “They are willing to agree to anything if you spare their lives.”

Xu Jingming peered towards Feather Fire City in the distance. Through the threads of karma, he discerned that over 100 powerhouses from Feather Fire City had approached Thearch Dragon Island Lord’s clone, beseeching for a.s.sistance.

“I gave them an opportunity, but they failed to cherish it.

“Instruct them to get their affairs in order swiftly! Time is running out for them!” With those words, Xu Jingming split into a figure, traversing s.p.a.cetime with a whoosh. Armed with the foundation of third-realm strength, he effortlessly traversed vast distances.

Xu Jingming’s speed far surpa.s.sed that of invincible half-step third-realm powerhouses and Abyss Sovereigns. Even if they desired to flee, escape was an impossible feat!
