Chapter 1 The Call

Hu.

Xu Jingming flew through the continuous mountains. His flight trajectory was like a blurred spear shadow, instantly passing over several peaks, much faster than the fleeing Monarch Chan Ming!

With such terrifying speed under the rule suppression of the Ultimate Land, perhaps only a half-step third realm invincible could achieve it.

"Easily tearing through the sky to reach this speed." Xu Jingming felt the terror of the condensed power within his body. This flying speed was already very restrained. If he wanted to, he could even break through the rule suppression of the Ultimate Land and perform short-range teleportation.

However, doing so would be too burdensome on the one hand, and completely expose himself on the other.

After all, other half-step third realms had to fly slowly.

"I entered the Ultimate Land three days later than others. And because of my weak strength, I've been circling around the outer areas in the early stages... In terms of exploration progress, I'm already very slow. Now I must speed up," Xu Jingming thought to himself.

Just then, a twisted monster appeared out of thin air directly in front of Xu Jingming. It was extremely close and pounced in an instant.

"Hmph."

Xu Jingming's expression turned cold. In an instant, his entire being transformed into a bloody spear shadow, piercing through the body of that twisted monster.

Accompanied by a miserable scream, the twisted monster fell to the side, revealing its true form: a spherical creature with countless small tentacles. Its three eyes glared at Xu Jingming with furious madness, but then its eyes dimmed, and its body disintegrated.

With just a body slam, this native creature was already dead, leaving behind three ingeniously combined different characters.

"This strange object, the 'Mind Staff,' is too useful. It can change as I wish, and usually transforms into robes that fit close to my body. With a single thought... I can even transform my body into a weapon, a long spear, to kill opponents." Xu Jingming was very satisfied.

A normal body wouldn't create a strong enough spear-light.

But with the strange object bolstering his entire body, his body transforming into a spear-light was not far from a third-realm mind spear.

"Its transformation into robes that fit close to my body also greatly enhances my defensive capabilities. Whether it's a mental or physical attack, this strange object has a defensive effect." Xu Jingming liked it very much. When Monarch Chan Ming obtained this strange object, the Mind Staff, he discovered that it had the effect of protecting the mind and consciousness.

In the hands of a strong person from the Heart Realm lineage, the true power of this strange object could be unleashed.

"It can be used for both offense and defense, and can cope with complex and dangerous situations." After Xu Jingming collected the three characters, he continued to fly forward through the mountains.

Time passed, and another five days went by in a flash.

Because Xu Jingming was traveling at super-fast speeds, he passed through many places in five days, and was attacked by more than a dozen native creatures. Although he remotely encountered a half-step third realm expert, the other party observed Xu Jingming's travel speed and avoided him from afar, without any conflict.

"The strange objects in the mountain area have indeed been almost completely plundered. I only obtained one strange object in these five days," Xu Jingming thought. "And it's a strange object from the Primordial Star lineage, which is of limited help to me."

He was currently focused on the two major schools of mental weapons and Void Abyss Illusion.

"Rumble~~~"

In the distance, in the gloomy sky, there was thunder and lightning, and blood-fire rising, creating quite a commotion.

"What's going on?" Xu Jingming looked into the distance.

In the area where the huge commotion was erupting, Xu Jingming vaguely saw a sphere suspended in the air. Thunder and lightning were born in the void around the sphere, and blood-fire was born in the void.

"What a big commotion." Xu Jingming exclaimed, "None of the strange objects I've seen have created such a big commotion."

If he had just arrived in the Ultimate Land, Xu Jingming would definitely have stayed as far away as possible.

Such a big commotion would definitely attract strong people!

With his weak strength, going there was suicide!

"Hu."

Without hesitation, Xu Jingming's flight transformed into a blurred spear shadow, heading straight for the sphere suspended high in the air.

As he quickly approached, Xu Jingming saw it more and more clearly. It was a completely transparent sphere, and inside the sphere was a special existence resembling an 'ancient tree.' The dense vines were like the tiny branches of a large tree.

"Abyss?" Xu Jingming had been comprehending the Void Abyss inheritance for many years, and instantly made a judgment.

"Is this a super-small abyss?" Xu Jingming saw at a glance that the model inside the sphere, resembling an ancient tree, had countless branches densely packed together, and many branches were even hidden, making them difficult to see.

Xu Jingming didn't know exactly how vast and complex a real abyss was.

The abyss permeated countless time and space, and what Xu Jingming was seeing now was only the appearance of the abyss presented in this time and space.

"Although 'Void Abyss' has the appearance of an abyss, it is not as detailed as this strange object." Xu Jingming's heart trembled and desire arose. He instantly made a judgment, "If I obtain this strange object, I can immediately improve a lot in the 'Void Abyss' aspect, and even the hope of breaking through Void Abyss Illusion to the third realm will greatly increase."

Hu.

Thinking of this, Xu Jingming rushed over without hesitation!

"Get out of here! This strange object belongs to our Night Dream Legion!" Accompanied by an angry shout, a full twelve figures joined forces to kill.

The Night Dream Legion was a legion under the third-realm existence 'Lord Ke Ye.' The legion was entirely composed of half-step third realm invincibles and Abyss Monarchs. Under Lord Ke Ye's command, these half-step third realm invincibles and Abyss Monarchs could only send their avatars to join the legion.

The Night Dream Legion was too powerful. During normal operations, they moved in small squads.

Each small squad had a total of twelve members! They were good at cooperating, and once they acted together, they were generally invincible.

Even in the Ultimate Land, the Night Dream Legion had made a great name for itself this time!

"So what if it's the Night Dream Legion? This 'super-small abyss' is a treasure of the Abyss lineage. We'll kill anyone who tries to snatch it!" A group of eighteen half-step third realm invincibles and Abyss Monarchs was equally crazy.

This time, all 35 third-realm existences in the entire time and space had sent their elites.

Lord Ke Ye had the Night Dream Legion under his command, and other third-realm existences also had elites under their command.

"It's actually a miniature abyss? Just by watching, I feel my Abyss lineage is improving." Another nine figures flew from a distance, their eyes burning as they looked at the sphere suspended in mid-air.

"There are already over a hundred strong people around! The appearance of this strange object, the 'miniature abyss,' caused too much commotion, attracting too many strong people. Although the nine of us have also participated in the Time-Space Arena, we can't compete with hundreds of strong people of the same level!"

"These strong people belong to different forces, and they are all restraining each other and holding each other back. No matter who snatches it first, they will face the siege of hundreds of half-step third realm invincibles. So in the short term... it will be difficult to have a final owner."

"Let's be patient, find a suitable opportunity, and then snatch it in one fell swoop." The nine strong people communicated with each other and also participated in the competition.

The strange object, the 'miniature abyss,' was suspended in the air, causing a great commotion and attracting many strong people to come.

This kind of strange object was a real treasure.

Especially the strong people of the Abyss lineage, their eyes were burning with desire.

"Hu."

Xu Jingming was a rare loner.

For this kind of treasure, even half-step third realm invincibles and Abyss Monarchs acted together with a group of partners. But Xu Jingming arrived alone.

"Rumble~~~" All kinds of fields spread, space, ice, causal curse, labyrinth, destruction flame... all kinds of moves reaching the half-step third realm invincible level covered the area, restraining each other.

No one could fly to the miniature abyss, because on the way, they were afraid of being besieged by various forces and losing their lives.

"What a miniature abyss." Xu Jingming was even more shocked to see it from such a close distance.

The entire miniature abyss seemed to be a living thing.

Countless branches wriggled, and countless layers of abyss space were as dense as animal scales, with the aura of destruction, darkness, and sin spreading out.

"This is the abyss." Xu Jingming exclaimed.

"You dare to rush in alone?"

A group of eleven strong people beside him noticed Xu Jingming sneaking closer while fighting with other forces.

"We are fighting, but we can't let these loners steal the benefits. Drive him out."

This group of strong people had only started cooperating after entering the Ultimate Land, but in a short period of time, with their speed of thinking, they had already developed a variety of team joint moves.

At this moment, once the team's opinion was determined, seven of the strong people immediately made a move. Soon, a hazy long whip lashed out, as if to annihilate everything.

The power of this hazy long whip made Xu Jingming's heart tremble.

The power of seven strong people cooperating? Even if he had the strange object robe to protect him, it was not suitable to face it head-on.

"In a one-on-one fight, I can kill one with two or three spear strikes. But hundreds of half-step third realm invincibles? I'd better hide and run after snatching it." When the hazy long whip swept over him, Xu Jingming had already disappeared out of thin air.

Hua.

In an instant, he broke through the obstacles of time and space in the Ultimate Land, ignored the field-type moves that were being restrained by a large number of strong people, and directly appeared beside the strange object, the 'miniature abyss.'

Xu Jingming appeared next to the strange object, the 'miniature abyss,' as if teleporting. This scene stunned the hundreds of half-step third realm invincibles and Abyss Monarchs who were fighting frantically. They all looked at this scene in astonishment.

How is it possible?

How could he break through their obstacles and appear there out of thin air?

"Collect." Xu Jingming would naturally not be soft-hearted. At the same time as he appeared, he instantly reached out and grabbed the suspended 'miniature abyss,' collecting it directly.

However, when he collected it, Xu Jingming noticed that the small universe he carried with him had a sense of rejection. So Xu Jingming directly put it into his stomach and stored it in his inner universe.

"The strange object, the 'miniature abyss,' has been snatched?"

"Stop him!"

"Kill him!"

The reaction of the hundreds of strong people was also extremely fast. In an instant, they all went crazy and no longer restrained each other. They simultaneously attacked Xu Jingming, who had taken away the 'miniature abyss,' without hesitation. All kinds of terrifying energy instantly covered the area where Xu Jingming was.

"Gone." After Xu Jingming collected the miniature abyss, he naturally escaped at the fastest speed, breaking through the obstacles of time and space in one step and appearing in the distance. With another step, he had already turned into an inconspicuous small dot. After taking the third step, Xu Jingming had completely disappeared from the observation range of the hundreds of strong people.
