Chapter 1 Killing

　　Xu Jingming didn't take the assassination of an avatar consciousness carrier of the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon to heart.

　　After all, as an Eternal Realm incarnation of the Heart Realm lineage, it would be a joke if killing a mere avatar consciousness carrier caused any ripples.

　　"Quite poor, actually." Xu Jingming arrived at the lair where the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon's avatar consciousness carrier resided and thoroughly searched it.

　　Various weapons, fruits, blood, scales, and high-dimensional plants were obviously prepared by the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon for low-dimensional lifeforms. All added together, they were far inferior to even a single Eternal Realm weapon.

　　"The low-dimensional lifeform group that the Spider Demon cultivates in this territory is the Demon Plant race." Xu Jingming, clad in a black robe, stood there, observing the vast territory from afar.

　　This was a massive territory spanning 51 universe domains, much larger than humanity's original territory.

　　On one hand, the overall strength of this real universe was weaker than that of humanity's original universe. On the other hand, the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon 'Sinan' was indeed powerful enough. When humanity migrated to a new territory, they naturally had to choose a tough bone to prove themselves!

　　"The Demon Plant race..." Xu Jingming observed them: various intelligent plant lifeforms that were rooted in the earth, absorbing nutrients to grow, and even devouring each other, extremely ferocious.

　　"Fortunately, the living environment needed by the Demon Plant race is different from that of humans. Migration will be simple." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

　　Life planets suitable for humans were not suitable for the Demon Plant race.

　　Some Demon Plant races preferred heat, requiring temperatures of two or three hundred degrees Celsius for extended periods, an environment that would be a nightmare for humans.

　　"A very good territory." Joy arose in Xu Jingming's heart.

　　"Xu Jingming." A voice echoed in his mind.

　　"Island Master." Xu Jingming's expression didn't change. The Dean, Tower Master, and Island Master were currently hiding in the Mother River. Only those with the ability to traverse the Mother River had a chance of discovering them.

　　The Space-Time Island Master transmitted his voice to Xu Jingming: "We are hidden in the Mother River, while you are in the open... Given the nature of the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon, who has been corrupted by the Abyss for so long, it will definitely seek revenge. Although you are of the Heart Realm lineage, with extremely strong life-preservation abilities, you still have to be careful."

　　"Don't worry," Xu Jingming transmitted back. "I will be very careful. Once it appears, I will immediately dissipate this incarnation."

　　As an Eternal Realm expert of the Heart Realm lineage, Xu Jingming was confident in his life-preservation abilities. But he still dared not underestimate the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon, whose fierce reputation was overwhelming. The fact that it could sacrifice so many high-dimensional beings and still survive showed its terrifying nature.

　　On the second day after the avatar consciousness carrier was attacked and killed.

　　The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon 'Sinan', Yu Fangtuo, and Qiong Yuhu had already left the Abyss, and with the help of Qiong Yuhu's travel abilities, they arrived near this universe.

　　"Buzz."

　　An invisible force enveloped the three of them as they spied on Xu Jingming's incarnation, which was guarding that territory.

　　"It's him." The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon's voice was soft and deep. "He destroyed my avatar consciousness carrier and seized this territory. I'm very curious as to who gave him the guts to provoke me. I'm worried there's a conspiracy behind it."

　　"No matter how bizarre the conspiracy, it's not worth mentioning in the face of power," Qiong Yuhu chuckled.

　　"Hmm?"

　　Yu Fangtuo was somewhat astonished as he spied on Xu Jingming's incarnation from afar. "It's him?"

　　"You know him?" The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon Sinan asked.

　　"He changed his appearance. I only confirmed his identity by feeling his aura at close range," Yu Fangtuo explained. "He once conducted a survival experiment on a life planet in my territory. I directly destroyed his experimental planet. He actually arrogantly destroyed my avatar consciousness carrier."

　　"He destroyed your avatar consciousness carrier too?" Qiong Yuhu was surprised. "You and Sinan aren't in the same territory. He has avatars in different territories?"

　　What they didn't know was...

　　Xu Jingming's avatars were spread across nearly two thousand territories!

　　"At that time, he was only at the Primordial realm peak," Yu Fangtuo said. "So I sacrificed more than ten high-dimensional beings in exchange for a method of causal assassination, wanting to kill all his avatars in one fell swoop. I could feel that some avatars were destroyed, but he was still alive."

　　"He dared to provoke me when he was at the Primordial realm. It's only normal that he'd bully you at the Eternal Realm," Qiong Yuhu laughed heartily. "Maybe there's no conspiracy at all. It's purely that this Heart Realm expert is too arrogant."

　　The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon and Qiong Yuhu exchanged glances.

　　"Perhaps it really is just arrogance," Qiong Yuhu said.

　　"In any case, I've already sacrificed and paid the price," the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon said. "Let's proceed according to the original plan."

　　Xu Jingming had no idea that three terrifying Abyss existences were lurking nearby. He was calmly comprehending the fifth realm of the *Eight Directions Chart*, the 'Great Bliss Realm'. He had passed the book tests for the comfort desire and greed desire in this realm, but the 'superiority desire' had been blocking Xu Jingming.

　　For nearly ten thousand years, the most difficult thing to deal with had been the superiority desire.

　　Since childhood, Xu Jingming had pursued being the best, being stronger, and surpassing others. His obsession with 'superiority desire' was deeply ingrained in his bones. Without such a strong desire... he wouldn't have reached where he was today.

　　And perfectly controlling the 'superiority desire' had become the greatest difficulty.

　　"Using the assistance brought by desire to improve oneself, while perfectly avoiding all the backlash brought by desire," Xu Jingming pondered bitterly, and a vast illusion naturally condensed around him.

　　In the illusion, countless living beings were competing and striving, struggling for better housing, better clothes, better transportation... even for some false fame.

　　Superiority desire influenced these beings for their entire lives.

　　Xu Jingming had observed nearly ten thousand experimental planets for nearly ten thousand years. He had a deep understanding of desire, but his control over 'superiority desire' still hadn't reached true perfection.

　　"Superiority desire," Xu Jingming murmured.

　　Suddenly, Xu Jingming felt as if the world around him had solidified. An invisible force bound him. His expression changed as he looked ahead. The entire space around him had been enveloped by a gray space.

　　In the sky above this gray space, there was a huge bird that blotted out the entire sky. With a flap of its wings, the two wings became the firmament. The moment it appeared, Xu Jingming felt almost unable to move.

　　"Swoosh."

　　A beam of light appeared.

　　Its speed surpassed the speed of thought. The moment Xu Jingming had the thought, this beam of light had already landed on Xu Jingming's body.

　　Xu Jingming saw it!

　　It was a behemoth with densely packed long legs and more than a thousand scarlet eyes. It was one of those eyes that had shot out that beam of light. The moment that beam of light landed on Xu Jingming's body, endless pollution permeated Xu Jingming's entire body, permeating his consciousness.

　　"Ming of the Heart Realm lineage, savor the most terrifying pollution from the Abyss!" The true form of the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon's voice resounded throughout every corner of this territory.

　　Xu Jingming could already feel the terrifying pollution spreading everywhere, also permeating his consciousness.

　　Bang!

　　Xu Jingming didn't hesitate to explode his inner universe. The inner universe instantly erupted, causing this avatar's body to completely explode, leaving no渣 behind. The terrifying pollution naturally lost its target as well.

　　The terrifying explosion affected the surrounding area. Some faint dark red droplets were not afraid of the explosion. They floated, the remnants of this pollution.

　　Xu Jingming self-detonated too quickly. The pollution had only partially merged, and some had not had time to completely permeate.

　　"Boom." "Boom." "Boom."

　　Along with the terrifying sound of the self-detonation, three more terrifying auras descended.

　　The emaciated Dean appeared, with a black flame sphere floating behind him! The invisible aura was incomparably sharp, already tearing apart the mysterious space arranged by Qiong Yuhu, and even causing Yu Fangtuo, who was hiding in the dark, to appear.

　　The Eternal Tower Master, dressed in simple clothes, with a weathered face, had a golden mountain floating behind him. This golden mountain was clearly manufactured with precision. An invisible aura also enveloped this area, suppressing the three Abyss lifeforms.

　　"Not good." The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon Sinan, Qiong Yuhu, and Yu Fangtuo all felt endless pressure, and also felt the sharp aura cutting their bodies.

　　There was also a woman with a looming figure, with a huge semi-circular ring floating behind her, its faint light illuminating the surroundings.

　　The moment these three appeared, the three terrifying Abyss powerhouses felt a huge threat.

　　"Good heavens."

　　"Ming of the Heart Realm lineage, you really were hiding a conspiracy."

　　"There are actually three terrifying powerhouses in the dark."

　　The various high-dimensional lifeforms of this universe were all there. The moment Xu Jingming was attacked, these high-dimensional lifeforms naturally discovered the huge commotion and were all excitedly watching the battle.

　　The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon had retaliated as they had expected!

　　How could they not watch such a battle?

　　Whether it was the unfamiliar 'Ming' or the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon, who had enemies everywhere, they would be happy if either of them died.

　　But at this moment, when the Dean and the other two appeared, they still startled the high-dimensional lifeforms of this universe.

　　With just one move, they could see the truth.

　　"Those three are terrifying. Among the high-dimensional lifeforms I've seen, they are definitely in the top ten," these high-dimensional lifeforms said, all filled with fear.

　　"There really is a conspiracy." Yu Fangtuo, the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon, and Qiong Yuhu, although feeling the pressure, were still very calm. They had experienced too many dangers over the long years, and weren't they still alive and well?

　　"Kill the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon first," the Dean suddenly said, his voice resounding everywhere. The three Abyss lifeforms could hear him, and those high-dimensional lifeforms watching from afar could sense it, all understanding his meaning. Clearly, the Dean had deliberately let them hear.

　　"Good," the Space-Time Island Master said in a clear, cold voice, looking coldly at the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon. The semi-circular ring behind her suddenly shone brightly, and an invisible light enveloped the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon.

　　The flow of time suddenly stopped on the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon!

　　Time stood still!

　　The Space-Time Island Master's forbidden weapon was skilled at manipulating time. With the Island Master's own ability, she could unleash most of the forbidden weapon's power. If it were used to cover and trap Gu Mo, it would only slow down the flow of time for Gu Mo slightly, but covering the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon... it directly froze time.

　　The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon hadn't even noticed it because its own time was frozen.

　　But this scene made Yu Fangtuo and Qiong Yuhu tremble!
