Chapter 109 The Power of One Man

With a wave of Xu Jingming’s hand, a full one hundred and nine tier-3 weapons descended. Xu Jingming had selected these from a vast collection of weapons and treasures as the most suitable for setting up an array to protect the Wanxing Island.

Immediately, beams of light emerged, some radiant, some dazzling, some distorting space-time, some like surging waves, and some manifesting high-dimensional celestial bodies…

The dean, the tower master, the island owner, Chimon, and Meng Tian watched in astonishment.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Wanxing Island had been completely transformed!

Tens of thousands of high-dimensional celestial bodies surrounded and clustered around the island, making the name Wanxing Island (Ten Thousand Star Island) truly fitting.

"Don't go out," Xu Jingming instructed before flying out of Wanxing Island alone. The reason he had released so many treasures to fortify Wanxing Island was to prevent any conflicts from affecting the countless living beings on the island.

"How many tier-3 weapons did he release in that instant?" The tower master was still in shock.

"What is Jingming's strength now?" The dean couldn't help but murmur.

"He's very strong; otherwise, more than 800 half-step tier-3 invincibles and abyss sovereigns wouldn't have come," Chimon said, also dazed. When his son, Tiano, helped Xu Jingming, Xu Jingming was still inconspicuous. Who knew that Xu Jingming would reach such a level?

It was a pity that his son, Tiano, failed to become a high-dimensional lifeform and died before reaching the end of his lifespan.

Like Xu Jingming, Chimon had lost his loved ones.

"With Jingming's strength, he might really be able to revive them," Chimon murmured. He also missed his wife and Tiano.

…

More than 800 half-step tier-3 invincibles and abyss sovereigns were observing Xu Jingming. When Xu Jingming released so many weapons and treasures to fortify Wanxing Island, they were slightly shaken.

Although they knew that Wu Ming had obtained all the tier-3 weapons and treasures from the ultimate grounds, seeing it with their own eyes was still stimulating.

"Is this how you visit me?" After flying out of Wanxing Island, Xu Jingming looked at the 825 figures before him and said coldly, "Without even transmitting a message through causal means, you came directly to my hometown?"

"This is also our respect for Brother Wu Ming," said a gray-robed figure shrouded in black mist.

"I also have an avatar in Yu Huo City. If you have anything to say, you can visit me in Yu Huo City. Why bother making the arduous journey here?" Xu Jingming looked at them.

The 825 experts were also observing Xu Jingming's words and actions.

"We all came together, and this Wu Ming is still quite tough?"

"So what if he obtained the opportunities bestowed by the ultimate existence? The ultimate existence wouldn't lower its status to deal with us half-step tier-3s. Haha, if we really die at the hands of the ultimate existence, it would be a worthy death."

"No matter how great the opportunity, it takes time to slowly convert it into strength. Now that the ultimate grounds have just dissipated, and Wu Ming has only recently obtained the opportunity, he should recognize the situation facing our combined force of 825."

These experts were somewhat disdainful of Xu Jingming's tough stance at the moment.

"We came here because we can all sense through causal means that the tier-3 weapons we lost in the ultimate grounds have ultimately fallen into Brother Wu Ming's hands," the gray-robed figure shrouded in black mist said with a smile. "Brother Wu Ming has obtained countless tier-3 weapons this time. The 825 of us combined only have a little over a thousand weapons and treasures. I wonder if Brother Wu Ming can return them to us?"

"This is insignificant to Brother Wu Ming, but it is very important to us. If Brother Wu Ming is willing to return them, we will naturally remember this favor."

The 825 experts all looked at Xu Jingming.

Island Owner Dilong had already retreated to the side. He faintly felt that these 825 experts were up to no good. "Not sending a message in advance and directly arriving at Wanxing Island in a mighty manner, asking Wu Ming to directly return the weapons and treasures—this is not the way to ask for weapons. If they sincerely wanted them, they should have sent a message in advance, given Xu Jingming enough face, and then discussed the matter of the weapons. How can they barge into someone's hometown like this?"

"Return?"

Xu Jingming looked at them. "More than 800 of you are either half-step tier-3 invincibles or abyss sovereigns. You are all famous in the vast territory surrounding Yu Huo City. You came together just for these weapons?"

"Yes," the gray-robed figure shrouded in black mist nodded. "Suitable tier-3 weapons are still hard to find."

"If I return the thousand or so tier-3 weapons to you, will you obediently leave? Can you promise to never come to the Nantian 3609 territory again?" Xu Jingming looked at them with a smile that wasn't a smile.

Immediately, an expert spoke up: "Brother Wu Ming, it's rare for us to come here. Besides taking back our weapons, we also want to have a good gathering with Brother Wu Ming and discuss the Dao together."

"That's right, we have all studied the mysterious glyphs of the ultimate grounds. Of course, Brother Wu Ming's understanding of the glyphs far exceeds ours. But with more than 800 of us discussing the Dao together, I believe it will also be helpful to Brother Wu Ming."

"The path of evolution is difficult. Discussing the Dao together is beneficial to everyone."

The experts spoke one after another, seeming very enthusiastic and kind.

Island Owner Dilong had quietly retreated into Wanxing Island.

"Island Owner Dilong, what exactly is going on?" The dean, the tower master, the island owner, Chimon, and Meng Tian were still confused. They didn't know about the ultimate grounds or the intentions of these experts. They only felt that they were up to no good.

"Wu Ming obtained a great opportunity bestowed by the ultimate existence," Island Owner Dilong transmitted solemnly. "These more than 800 half-step tier-3 invincibles and abyss sovereigns said they want to discuss the Dao together, but they are clearly forcing Brother Wu Ming to share some of the opportunity with them."

"What?" The dean and the others realized that something was wrong.

"They are capable of anything for the opportunity to become a tier-3," Island Owner Dilong said with some concern.

"With more than 800 experts joining forces, is Wu Ming in danger?" Chimon asked via voice transmission.

"Yes."

Island Owner Dilong transmitted, "One-on-one, Wu Ming can easily kill a half-step tier-3 invincible. But with more than 800 joining forces? The power is unimaginable!"

The dean, the tower master, the island owner, Chimon, and Meng Tian became nervous. In their understanding, a half-step tier-3 invincible or an abyss sovereign was like a nightmare.

More than 800 joining forces?

They looked outside. At this moment, Xu Jingming was standing alone in the void, facing more than 800 experts.

…

"I understand your intentions very well," Xu Jingming said as he stood in the void, looking at them. "There's no need to hide it. You came here to ask for tier-3 weapons is a lie. Your real purpose is to want me to share a little of the opportunity I obtained with you?"

"Before, we also obtained many mysterious glyphs in the ultimate grounds. This shows… that the great ultimate existence also allows us to study them."

"If Brother Wu Ming is willing to share, we will all be grateful for your kindness. I believe Brother Wu Ming would prefer to have 825 more friends."

The experts no longer concealed their intentions.

The tier-3s were somewhat apprehensive about the opportunity bestowed by the ultimate existence and did not dare to bully the weak by snatching it. However, these half-step tier-3 invincibles and abyss sovereigns had been trapped at their bottlenecks for countless years, and they didn't care.

"I'm sorry, the weapons I obtained in the ultimate grounds are my spoils of war. There's no reason for me to return them for free," Xu Jingming said. "If you want weapons, you can buy them from me. However, I'm very busy recently and need to retreat and cultivate in seclusion. You can talk to me about buying weapons in a million years."

"As for sharing the opportunity?"

Xu Jingming shook his head. "You couldn't obtain the opportunity in the ultimate grounds. You are even less worthy of obtaining it in the outside world!"

The expressions of the 825 experts changed slightly. This Wu Ming was too tough.

"Wu Ming." Among the 825 figures was one that Xu Jingming was very familiar with—Lord Chanmi. Lord Chanmi shouted angrily, "If you are unwilling to share today, you have to share! We are not here to negotiate with you; you have no choice!"

"I have no choice?" Xu Jingming looked at him. "Lord Chanmi, you don't hide in your abyss space and eke out an existence, yet you dare to jump in front of me? Do you think you haven't died fast enough?"

Lord Chanmi knew very well that he had a deep feud with Xu Jingming.

Therefore, he unhesitatingly participated in this joint effort to come to the Nantian 3609 territory! He felt that only by becoming a member of the group could he have hope of surviving.

"Wu Ming, we know that you have many avatars scattered everywhere," the gray-robed figure shrouded in black mist said coldly. "Moreover, you can break through space-time barriers, and your ability to escape far exceeds ours. But can you escape? Can the races behind you escape?"

"For the sake of opportunity, you're starting to have so few principles?" Xu Jingming sneered. "You truly deserve to be abyss sovereigns! Of the 825 people present, 798 are abyss sovereigns, and 27 are half-step tier-3 invincibles."

The number of abyss sovereigns was indeed much greater than the number of half-step tier-3 invincibles.

"Using the races behind me to threaten me—the abyss sovereigns can do such shameless things. But the 27 half-step tier-3 invincibles, are you also going to do this?" Xu Jingming's gaze swept over the half-step tier-3 invincibles.

Xu Jingming looked down on those who became 'abyss sovereigns' through the abyss sacrifice stream.

But he still admired those who had cultivated to half-step tier-3 invincible on their own.

"Brother Wu Ming, we have been trapped at the limit for too long. This is our only hope of becoming a tier-3. You only need to share a trace of the opportunity with us, and it will be enough," a half-step tier-3 invincible said.

"If you don't give us a chance, then you can't blame us."

They also spoke one after another, expressing their attitudes.

"Hahaha… Only 27 half-step tier-3 invincibles came this time. This shows that the vast majority of half-step tier-3 invincibles still have principles," Xu Jingming laughed. "And you are despicable and shameless enough."

"Wu Ming, you're too naive," Lord Chanmi said. "In this world, there is no such thing as despicable and shameless, only strength. With 825 of us joining forces here, we are stronger than you, so you have to obediently share!"

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. "That's right, in the end, it still depends on the strength."

Xu Jingming's gaze swept over the 825 figures before him, and he shook his head gently. "It's a pity. There are less than 2,000 half-step tier-3 invincibles and abyss sovereigns in Yu Huo City in total, and nearly half of them are going to die in my hands."

As soon as he said this, Island Owner Dilong, the dean, the tower master, the island owner, Chimon, and Meng Tian inside Wanxing Island were all dumbfounded.

"You…" The 825 figures couldn't believe it even more.

"Don't you want to see the great opportunity I obtained?" Xu Jingming looked at them. "I'll satisfy you!"
