Chapter 1 "This Is the Abyss?"

Although Xu Jingming had learned about some of the situations within the abyss, he still felt unaccustomed to truly being in contact with it.

Those like the Eternal Pagoda Master, who lived outside, were resistant to the abyss's will and unwilling to fall! But these native high-dimensional lifeforms of the abyss often proactively welcomed the abyss's will, and their style of doing things was even more unbridled.

"I have never believed in fate!" Lord Yan Zhai had grown to this point in the abyss, and he had never believed in fate in his bones. When encountering a powerful opponent, he would either escape or kill them!

Lord Yan Zhai had reached where he was today by stepping on the corpses of one opponent after another.

Although he could observe timelines, he never believed in the future he saw!

"I have observed many future branches, but I have also deliberately gone against them! The result proves one thing... everything is determined by strength! If I am strong, I can kill the opponent! No matter how great his future potential is, he is weak now, so I can kill him and prevent him from having a future!" Lord Yan Zhai seemed mad, but that was his will going mad; the outside world could not shake it.

Over the long years, the belief that 'strength determines everything' had long been integrated into his bones.

"Wu Ming, who will be invincible in the future, let me see what you are capable of!" Lord Yan Zhai's nine-eyed face had a crazed look, and with a *hua* sound, a vast, turbid torrent of water surged toward Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming stood in the distance, solemnly watching this scene.

"Just speaking can affect my body. Lord Yan Zhai's strength is not inferior to Brother Ancient Tree at all." Xu Jingming was very clear about the other party's power.

The vast turbid torrent instantly submerged the area where Xu Jingming was, but Xu Jingming himself turned into illusion, hiding in the Heart Realm.

Hiding in the Heart Realm, Xu Jingming watched the turbid torrent.

"According to the information I have, Lord Yan Zhai is good at the two major schools of the abyss lineage: the Sin school and the Devil Sound school. He has accumulated a very deep understanding of these two schools. It is said that he has left his life imprint in the 'Sin Spring' of the abyss, and can continuously mobilize the 'Sin Spring water' for his own use." Xu Jingming was very clear about the other party's horror.

If one could condense a stream of Sin Spring water, they would be a half-step third realm expert.

Lord Yan Zhai had directly left a life imprint in the abyss's 'Sin Spring,' making it very easy to mobilize thousands or even tens of thousands of streams of spring water. No matter how much spring water was consumed, it was not worth mentioning to him.

"Wu Ming!" In the vast turbid torrent, a nine-eyed face emerged, roaring, "Can you only hide in the Heart Realm?"

Following karma, he could lock onto Xu Jingming's location, but if his power penetrated into the Heart Realm, it would be greatly weakened, and the threat to Xu Jingming would not be worth mentioning.

"I dare not touch Lord Yan Zhai's Sin Spring water." Xu Jingming smiled slightly, "Since the lord has made a move, then please taste my moves."

"Just you? My body of sin is here, can you shake it?" the nine-eyed face said.

"Let's try."

Xu Jingming said.

*Hua!*

In an instant, he left the Heart Realm and divided into three clones, each in a different direction from Lord Yan Zhai.

At this moment, the three Xu Jingming bodies were illusory, each holding a phantom spear. It was the Heart Realm spear after it had been integrated into the Mind Pearl.

"He came out!" The nine-eyed face revealed an expression of anticipation. Instantly, surging waves swept toward the three clones, and at the same time, turbid water condensed into two huge arms, each holding a huge dark fork.

The two huge forks suddenly struck!

*Dang!!!*

Devil sound invasion!

He also had extremely high achievements in the Devil Sound school. Cooperating with this pair of third realm weapons, the threat was extremely great, and it was also his means of traversing the abyss.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The three Xu Jingmings had already made their move the moment they appeared, using his most powerful Heart Realm spear technique. At this moment, three clusters of light appeared in the high sky! The three clusters of light were extremely fast, and instantly rushed into Lord Yan Zhai's body, wanting to burn and destroy Lord Yan Zhai's mental will.

This move was the third form of *Jin Ge* (Golden Spear) – Rising Sun!

Guided by the ultimate existence spear technique, the Heart Realm spear technique that was comprehended was also extraordinarily powerful.

"Mm?" The three Xu Jingmings first felt the invasion of the devil sound, which targeted the body on the one hand, and invaded the mind on the other! As a Heart Realm half-step third realm, Xu Jingming could withstand the invasion of the mind.

Regarding the invasion of the body, Xu Jingming immediately felt a tearing pain, as if he was about to be torn apart everywhere.

"*Chi—*"

When the three clusters of light that Xu Jingming transformed into rushed into Lord Yan Zhai's turbid torrent, he also felt the erosion of the Sin Spring water, which made him twist his face in pain.

"Ah, ah, ah, it hurts!" The nine-eyed face cried out in pain, and the spring water rolled. Although the Sin Spring water had a great obstruction to the mental weapon, the severe pain of tearing the mind made Lord Yan Zhai feel quite uncomfortable.

*Hu! Hu! Hu!*

"The obstruction of the Sin Spring water is too great. It's so difficult and strenuous for me to barely tear and damage his mind a little." Xu Jingming's spear technique was only half-finished, and the three phantom clones had already hid in the Heart Realm.

At this moment, within the Heart Realm, Xu Jingming's three clones were already riddled with holes, their faces twisted and ugly.

"Devil sound invasion, Sin Spring water invasion, I can't bear it just after the first exchange." Xu Jingming's three clones were slowly recovering, "Although the Heart Realm weapon lineage is extremely aggressive, its self-protection ability is weaker."

In terms of aggressiveness, his Heart Realm spear technique 'Rising Sun' might be able to compete with Lord Yan Zhai.

But in other aspects, he was too weak. The opponent's huge body, composed of the body of sin, was much stronger than him.

"Although he shouted in pain, it was only a minor injury to him. And I was already seriously injured just by being invaded by the devil sound and the Sin Spring water. If I continue to persist, my body will have to collapse completely." Xu Jingming thought.

"Your Heart Realm weapon really hurts me a little. Come on, keep coming." The vast turbid torrent rolled, and the nine-eyed face stared at Xu Jingming in the Heart Realm, quite excited, "You don't just have these few tricks, do you?"

Yes.

The half-step third realm means that Xu Jingming currently possessed were only this one.

"My strength is indeed not as good as yours." Xu Jingming nodded, and after saying that, he had already taken a step and disappeared from this layer of abyss space.

"Mm?"

The nine-eyed face had a look of astonishment, "He just left like that?"

"Brother Yan Zhai, this Wu Ming only needs to watch the abyss scarlet lotus bloom, there's really no need to fight him." The withered tree figure appeared on the side, and said helplessly, "He is now a newly promoted half-step third realm, his strength is not considered strong. But if his strength greatly increases in the future, it will be troublesome."

"Trouble? What trouble?" The nine-eyed face looked at him in confusion.

The withered tree figure said, "Indeed, Brother Yan Zhai, you have left a life imprint in the Sin Spring, below the third realm... it is impossible to enter the Sin Spring and destroy your imprint. You are indeed immortal. But the future Wu Ming has the possibility of destroying all your avatars in the outside world, preventing you from leaving the Sin Spring."

"So what?" The nine-eyed face asked in confusion, "At worst, I'll stay in the Sin Spring."

The withered tree figure was silent.

Alright.

His boss had always had a style of doing things that he would do as soon as he said it, and he never showed mercy.

"The Sin Spring also has some life imprints from different territories. It's also very interesting for everyone to gather and fight." The nine-eyed face said, the Sin Spring gathered all the strong people in this timeline who were able to leave an imprint in the Sin Spring.

The nine-eyed face looked into the distance, shook his head and said, "This Wu Ming is weaker than I imagined." Then the spring water rolled, and returned to the abyss scarlet lotus, completely covering the abyss scarlet lotus.

*******

Another adjacent layer of abyss space.

Xu Jingming appeared here.

"My strength is not as good as the other party, there's no way around that." Xu Jingming thought, "Since negotiations have failed and I can't win the fight, then I can only use force! When the abyss scarlet lotus blooms, I will directly teleport with the Heart Realm and arrive at the closest point to the abyss scarlet lotus."

Regardless of whether Lord Yan Zhai allows it or not, I will directly teleport with the Heart Realm to the closest point and forcefully watch!

"There are still three or four hundred years before the abyss scarlet lotus blooms, it's still very early." Xu Jingming looked at the scenery in front of him, but he was full of anticipation, "Next, I can take a good stroll and take a look at this abyss."

Comprehending the complete inheritance of *Void Abyss* for more than ten thousand years, and then personally watching the abyss, the feeling is different.

So from this day on, Xu Jingming walked through layer after layer of abyss space.

He watched the operating rules of these abyss spaces, the natural environment, the survival and killing of abyss life...

Day after day, year after year.

The more Xu Jingming watched, the more he understood.

"In the past, I was looking at the abyss with colored glasses, thinking that this place was full of sin, that this place was chaotic, that there were countless madmen here." Xu Jingming watched two crazy abyss alien beasts rushing towards him. During the process of killing him, these two abyss alien beasts burned with black lotus flames and turned into ashes.

"But in reality, the abyss represents no rules."

"Its operating rule is that there are no rules, encompassing all possibilities!" Xu Jingming watched, "Even if one has a kind heart and is as bright as the Eternal Pagoda Master, one can still comprehend the path of the abyss."

"The rules of each layer of abyss space can be formulated by the abyss monarch of that layer."

"If the abyss monarch is willing, he can make his layer full of birds and flowers, and everyone can be extremely kind."

Xu Jingming thought, "Countless layers of abyss space represent countless possibilities. There is no order, and living beings are left to form their own order. Of course, there is also a shortcut to growth, which is 'abyss sacrifice.' If one cannot control oneself, one will naturally be eroded by the abyss will after repeated abyss sacrifices."

"Taking a shortcut or not taking a shortcut? It's purely voluntary."

"The abyss... does not represent sin, but absolute freedom! Complete irregularity!" Xu Jingming was lost in thought, and behind him, a vast illusory abyss began to gradually form. This illusory abyss had layer after layer of space, and every time a new layer of abyss space was condensed, the entire illusory abyss became even more terrifying.
