751 Appearance of Thearch Dragon Island Lord
The corpses of the clones were horrifying in their potential; they could be repurposed into immensely powerful weapons.
Xu Jingming stared at the five dark stars, realizing that Five Demons Planet must have paid an exorbitant price to create such formidable clones. They might even want to reclaim these lifeless bodies.
Aside from their minds and consciousnesses being annihilated, the clones’ bodies remained unscathed. If Five Demons Planet desired to recover them and invested some effort in nurturing and repairing the clones, it would be relatively simple to restore them.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming waved his hand and collected the five clone corpses.
Numerous higher-dimensional beings witnessed this event, etching it into their memories as something they would never forget.
“The infamous Five Demons Planet was actually vanquished by Wu Ming of Myriad Star Island. They lost five against one. Just how powerful is Wu Ming?”
“Could he have advanced to the half-step third realm? It would make sense for someone from the Heart Realm lineage at that level to defeat the Five Demons Planet.”
“But if he’s truly at the half-step third realm, wouldn’t he have monopolized the entire mineral deposit? It’s impossible for him to only take 30%, right?”
Whispers spread among the various factions near the vast mineral deposits.
They couldn’t bear to part with the mineral resources, but they feared Xu Jingming!
He had slain Natuo with a single blow.
In a one-on-five confrontation, Five Demons Planet’s clones were vanquished. Naturally, they were terrified of Xu Jingming!
“Has Jingming’s power truly reached this extent?” The dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord couldn’t believe it.
He was incredibly formidable! Xu Jingming’s growth had been rapid, and his strength was now awe-inspiring.
He had single-handedly defeated Five Demons Planet!
In the entire dominion, Xu Jingming was the closest to reaching the half-step third realm.
At the same time, a surge of elation washed over the dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, and the others! This was because such a remarkable and fearsome being was part of their human race and their most trusted ally.
“Dean.” Xu Jingming strode back and declared, “Resume mining.”
“Jingming, have you attained the half-step third realm?” Tower Master inquired through a voice transmission. “If you truly have, it would be reasonable for us to claim the entire large mineral deposit.”
“I haven’t reached the half-step third realm,” Xu Jingming responded via voice transmission.
Once one’s accumulation reached a specific threshold, a higher-dimensional body could fully dominate the spatial layer. When that occurred, they could peer into the fifth dimension’s timeline. Only then would one be deemed worthy of the title half-step third realm.
As Xu Jingming’s power grew, he sensed that his Heart Realm body’s foray into the spatial layer was expanding. However, it still hadn’t encompassed the entire layer, let alone possess the ability to pry into the timeline.
The potency of the Golden Halberd he forged surpassed expectations solely because he had cultivated the Heart Realm’s highly offensive psychic weapon school and grasped a spear technique left behind by an Ultimate being.
“30% of the mineral deposits is sufficient. Dig quickly.” The dean had already unleashed the forbidden domain’s power and commenced mining. “We’ve dealt with Five Demons Planet. The next challenger could be a half-step third-realm powerhouse.”
“You defeated Five Demons Planet in a one-on-five battle. I genuinely believed you had reached the half-step third realm, Jingming.” Tower Master shook his head and resumed mining with fervor. “With your strength, Myriad Star Island’s standing in the dominion has become increasingly secure.”
Island Lord grinned broadly. “In my view, as long as Jingming concentrates on his cultivation, I have no doubt he will reach the half-step third realm eventually.”
Upon witnessing Xu Jingming vanquish Five Demons Planet single-handedly, the higher-dimensional beings present either suspected that he had already attained the half-step third realm or believed he was on the verge of achieving it.
…
The Primordial Star was the greatest celestial body in high-dimensional space. Regardless of the spacetime, timeline, or dominion, the Primordial Star illuminated them all!
High-dimensional lifeforms of the Primordial Star lineage yearned to draw closer to the Primordial Star, but no matter how near they ventured, they still sensed layers of spacetime separating them from the celestial giant! Only the sporadic bursts of Primordial Star Flame allowed them to feel as though the Primordial Star was within their grasp.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The surging Primordial Star Flame repeatedly dissipated and engulfed the surrounding area.
A palace floated in this realm, home to Five Demons Planet.
“That Myriad Star Island’s Wu Ming is a true monster,” the members of Five Demons Planet concurred as they gathered while the Primordial Star Flame washed over them time after time, providing an intense sense of comfort.
Naturally, they didn’t want to venture any closer.
At their current distance, they felt at ease, but if they approached further, they would experience excruciating pain.
“I’ve labored for years to create a total of three clones, and now I’ve lost one.” The short and rotund Star Lord shook his head, feeling the sting.
“Having only two clones, losing one hurts even more.”
“I suspect Wu Ming is a half-step third-realm powerhouse of the Heart Realm lineage.”
“Yes, I also believe he’s a half-step third-realm powerhouse from the Heart Realm lineage. How else could he have obliterated our clones’ minds and consciousnesses?”
Five Demons Planet had encountered numerous powerhouses and battled many from the Heart Realm lineage! In their opinion, no one below the half-step third realm could vanquish their clones!
“Since Wu Ming of Myriad Star Island isn’t willing to publicly admit it, we don’t have to concern ourselves with that. More importantly… we must devise a way to retrieve our clones’ corpses.”
“We’ll likely have to trade valuable treasures to acquire them.”
“I think it’s worth buying as long as it costs less than one drop of Abyssal Mother Blood.”
The quintet deliberated. Their top priority was to purchase the corpses of the five clones. Any delay could prove disastrous if the clone corpses were transformed into weapons.
At this point, they harbored no further ambitions for any substantial treasure trove!
With Xu Jingming in the mix, victory was unattainable!
******
Xu Jingming and the others claimed 30% of the vast mineral deposit. Previously, other factions believed that Myriad Star Island was too greedy to dare take so much! Now, they felt Myriad Star Island was too magnanimous to only claim so little!
Hadn’t the Five Demons Planet immediately staked out 50% upon arrival? Given Wu Ming’s strength, 30% seemed hardly excessive.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord were ecstatic as they fervently excavated the Primordial Gold.
Meanwhile, other factions were embroiled in conflict. With so many factions converging, it was only natural they would fiercely vie for their share.
Suddenly—
A terrifying aura permeated the entire mineral deposit.
All the high-dimensional lifeforms, including Xu Jingming, turned their attention to the sight of a massive black alien beast towing a lavish carriage through the void towards them. This alien beast was cloaked in black scales, its aura instilling fear and dread in the high-dimensional lifeforms present. A gaunt figure sat in the carriage, his detached gaze sweeping across those assembled.
“Thearch Dragon Island Lord!” All the high-dimensional lifeforms recognized the individual.
Xu Jingming did as well.
Thearch Dragon Island Lord was famed for possessing a half-step third-realm mount—Thearch Dragon! Having a Thearch Dragon pull his carriage was his signature.
In terms of strength, Thearch Dragon Island Lord was relatively unremarkable among half-step third-realm powerhouses, but when it came to background, none in the neighboring dominions could rival him. He was a personal disciple of a third-realm entity, a fact Xu Jingming was well aware of.
Thearch Dragon Island Lord was overbearing, and all half-step third-realm powerhouses in the surrounding dominions, including the Abyss Overlords, had to yield to him!
“What a bountiful treasure trove.”
Thearch Dragon Island Lord smiled, eliciting an involuntary positive impression from the high-dimensional lifeforms present. Simultaneously, an invisible force emanated, engulfing the entire mineral deposit.
Crack! Crack!
Innumerable rocks shattered, and a multitude of Primordial Gold Beads and Primordial Gold Chunks soared into the air. The entire deposit was instantaneously mined, with all the Primordial Gold hurtling toward Thearch Dragon Island Lord.
At that moment, all the high-dimensional lifeforms were seething with envy and anxiety as they watched, but they were powerless to act.
“He can actually extract all the Primordial Gold in an instant.” The expressions of the dean, Tower Master, Island Lord, and Xu Jingming shifted subtly.
Mining wasn’t a simple task; it required a gradual approach, but Thearch Dragon Island Lord’s excavation was astoundingly swift. In just a few seconds, everything had been mined!
“Jingming, don’t provoke Thearch Dragon Island Lord. He has nothing to fear, and he could annihilate our entire human race in a fit of rage. Plus, he has a third-realm existence backing him… Even if we can kill him, the third-realm existence can revive him,” the dean immediately cautioned via voice transmission. “Those half-step third-realm powerhouses aren’t eager to provoke him either.”
“I understand,” Xu Jingming responded via voice transmission. “Dean, you’re overestimating me. Thearch Dragon Island Lord is a true half-step third realm after all. I can’t harm him in the slightest. Besides, he’s renowned for possessing countless treasures!”
Thearch Dragon Island Lord had an abundance of treasures—even those pulling his carriage were all half-step third-realm mounts.
Who wouldn’t be envious and jealous?
“Yes, quite a substantial mineral deposit.” Thearch Dragon Island Lord observed the vast number of Primordial Gold Beads and Primordial Gold Chunks hovering before him. “There’s a total of about 300,000 Primordial Gold Beads.”
All the high-dimensional lifeforms were enticed, but none dared to challenge him. They also scrutinized Wu Ming from Myriad Star Island, suspecting that… Wu Ming might be a half-step third realm as well.
Would Wu Ming just stand by and do nothing?
This Thearch Dragon Island Lord is a genuine half-step third-realm powerhouse, and he’s notorious for his vast collection of treasures! He undoubtedly has all sorts of life-preserving items. It would be madness to provoke him. Xu Jingming was well aware of this.
Thearch Dragon Island Lord’s gaze shifted and settled on Xu Jingming in the distance. He grinned. “You defeated Five Demons Planet singlehandedly. Remarkable.”
Xu Jingming was slightly taken aback. Given Thearch Dragon Island Lord’s reputation for arrogance, his affability was unexpected.
Not wanting to appear impolite, Xu Jingming promptly replied, “Thearch Dragon Island Lord, you flatter me. I merely excel in psychic weapons and happen to counteract them effectively.”
“Don’t be modest. You defeated Five Demons Planet just 10,000 years after reaching the Eternal realm. I’ve never seen anyone progress so rapidly, even while I was with my Master,” Thearch Dragon Island Lord commended with a smile. “Your talent is extraordinary.”
“Brother Wu Ming, with your aptitude, it likely won’t be long before you effortlessly attain the half-step third realm,” Thearch Dragon Island Lord said congenially. “You discovered this mineral deposit first, so it wouldn’t be fitting for me to monopolize it. How about this? We’ll divide the deposit equally.”
Having said that, Thearch Dragon Island Lord gestured, and half of the Primordial Gold Beads and Chunks floating in front of him soared toward Xu Jingming.
This sight left the surrounding high-dimensional lifeforms dumbstruck.
Xu Jingming was also quite surprised.
He was giving him half of the mineral deposit just like that?
