Chapter 1 Killing the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon's Divided Consciousness

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

After all, he was an Eternal Realm avatar of the Heart Realm lineage. It would be a joke if killing a divided consciousness carrier caused any ripples.

"So poor." Xu Jingming arrived at the lair where the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon's divided consciousness carrier resided and ransacked it.

All kinds of weapons, fruits, blood, scales, and high-dimensional plants were clearly prepared by the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon for low-dimensional lifeforms. All of them combined were far inferior to a single Eternal Realm weapon.

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

This was a vast territory of 51 cosmic domains, much larger than the original human territory.

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

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

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

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

Some Demon Plant races liked heat, requiring high temperatures of two to three hundred degrees for extended periods, which was a nightmare for humans.

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

"Xu Jingming." A voice sounded 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 travel through the Mother River had a slight chance of discovering them.

The Space-Time Island Master transmitted 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, which has long been corrupted by the abyss, it will definitely retaliate. Although you are of the Heart Realm lineage with extremely strong self-preservation abilities, you still need to be careful."

"Rest assured," Xu Jingming transmitted. "I will be very careful. Once it appears, I will immediately dissipate this avatar."

As an Eternal Realm expert of the Heart Realm lineage, Xu Jingming was very confident in his self-preservation abilities. However, he still didn't dare to underestimate the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon, whose ferocity was overwhelming. Being able to sacrifice so many high-dimensional lifeforms and still survive showed how terrifying it was.

On the second day after the divided consciousness carrier was attacked.

The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon 'Si Nan,' Yu Fangtuo, and Qiong Yuhu had already left the abyss. With the help of Qiong Yuhu's ability to travel, they arrived near this universe.

"Buzz."

An invisible force enveloped the three of them, allowing them to spy on Xu Jingming's avatar sitting in that territory.

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

"No matter how strange 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 avatar from afar. "It's him?"

"Do you know him?" The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon Si Nan 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 was so arrogant as to destroy my divided consciousness carrier."

"He also destroyed your divided consciousness carrier?" Qiong Yuhu was surprised. "You and Si Nan 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 peak of the nascent realm," Yu Fangtuo said. "So I sacrificed more than a dozen high-dimensional lifeforms in exchange for a causal killing technique, 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 in the nascent realm. It's only normal for him to bully you in the Eternal Realm," Qiong Yuhu laughed. "Perhaps there's no conspiracy at all. It's purely that this Heart Realm lineage expert is too arrogant."

The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon and Qiong Yuhu looked at each other.

"Perhaps it's really 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 hiding nearby. He was calmly comprehending the fifth realm of the *Eight Directions Diagram*, the 'Great Joy Realm.' He had passed the book test for comfort and greed in this realm, but 'superiority' had always been Xu Jingming's obstacle.

For nearly ten thousand years, the most troublesome thing had been the desire for superiority.

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

Perfectly controlling 'superiority' had become the biggest hurdle.

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

In the illusion, countless creatures were competing and striving, fighting for better housing, better clothes, better transportation… even for some empty fame.

The desire for superiority affected these creatures for a lifetime.

Xu Jingming had observed nearly ten thousand experimental planets for nearly ten thousand years. His understanding of desire was already extremely deep, but his control over the 'desire for superiority' still didn't reach true perfection.

"Superiority," Xu Jingming murmured.

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

In the sky above this gray space, there was a huge bird that covered the entire sky. The bird spread its wings, and its pair of wings were the sky. As soon as it appeared, Xu Jingming felt almost unable to move.

"Swoosh."

A light appeared.

Its speed exceeded the speed of thought. Xu Jingming had just had the thought when this light landed on Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming saw it!

It was a behemoth with dense long legs and thousands of scarlet eyes. It was from one of those eyes that the light was emitted. At the same time that light landed on Xu Jingming, endless pollution permeated Xu Jingming's entire body and penetrated his memories.

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

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

Bang!

Xu Jingming didn't hesitate to explode his internal universe. The internal universe exploded in an instant, causing this avatar's body to explode completely, leaving no residue. Naturally, the terrifying pollution also lost its target.

The terrifying explosion spread in all directions. Some dark red droplets weren't afraid of the explosion. They floated, being the residue of this pollution.

Xu Jingming self-destructed too quickly. The pollution had only integrated partially, and some hadn't had time to completely penetrate.

"Boom." "Boom." "Boom."

Along with the terrifying movement of the self-destruction, three even more terrifying auras descended.

The gaunt 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 forcing Yu Fangtuo, who was hiding in the dark, to appear.

The Eternal Tower Master, dressed in simple clothes, had a weathered face. Behind him floated a golden mountain. This golden mountain was clearly manufactured with precision, and an invisible aura also enveloped this area, suppressing the three abyss lifeforms.

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

There was also a woman whose figure was faintly visible. Behind her floated a huge semi-circular ring, and a faint light shone in all directions.

These three had just appeared! They made the three terrifying abyss powerhouses feel a huge threat.

"Good heavens."

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

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

One by one, the high-dimensional lifeforms of this universe were present. At 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?

Regardless of 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.

Just one move was enough to see the truth.

"Those three are very terrifying. Among the high-dimensional lifeforms I've seen, they are enough to rank in the top ten." These high-dimensional lifeforms were all very fearful.

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

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

"Okay." The Space-Time Island Master's voice was clear and cold as she looked 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, on the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon, suddenly stopped!

Time stood still!

The Space-Time Island Master's forbidden weapon was good at manipulating time. With the Island Master's own abilities, she could exert most of the power of the forbidden weapon. If it were used to envelop and trap Gu Mo, it would only slow down Gu Mo's time flow slightly, but enveloping the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon… it directly caused time to stand still.

The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon itself hadn't noticed, because its own time was still.

But this scene made Yu Fangtuo and Qiong Yuhu tremble in their hearts!
