Chapter 219: Chapter 212 Complete Map
"Hmph!" The gray-clothed man’s face steadied, revealing a gloomy expression. "This is my territory; it’s not your place to question me."
Immediately, the gray-clothed man’s hand lifted and then clenched suddenly. Wang Xu instantly felt an invisible force pressing around him, and his power level was forcibly suppressed by a considerable amount.
"Spatial Suppression!" Wang Xu’s eyes widened, knowing that this was the greatest power of a Space Controller.
Once other beings enter the space of a controller, all will be influenced by the space, with power levels being weakened and suppressed, and some secret techniques not even able to be executed.
However, upon feeling the power of this spatial suppression, Wang Xu couldn’t help but relax a bit in his heart.
The fact that the gray-clothed man could deploy spatial suppression clearly indicated he was the space controller, but his strength was too weak.
His strength merely surpassed that of an Invincible White Hole Level, not having reached the Initial Chaos Universe Realm. For someone like Wang Xu, who had completely crossed the chasm and whose true power reached the Mixed Universe Realm, the spatial suppression was naturally minimal.
If it were a Mixed Universe Realm expert instead, even at the Initial Chaos Universe Realm, Wang Xu would have to immediately use a Light Jade to escape.
Spatial suppression is extremely domineering, forcibly reducing the cosmic martial artist’s power level, and then using various spatial aids to engage in battle. Therefore, if not absolutely necessary, a cosmic martial artist would never enter the space of another cosmic martial artist for such a battle is decidedly unequal.
Rumble~
The space trembled, and waves of invisible force pressed toward Wang Xu, reducing his power level gradually. The gray-clothed man was weakening Wang Xu’s strength little by little.
For a Mixed Universe Realm expert capable of creating space, the spatial suppression deployed would certainly be powerful, having a greater impact on Wang Xu.
In contrast, the gray-clothed man was only at the Invincible White Hole Level; evidently, he didn’t create this space. His own integration with the space couldn’t reach Perfection, naturally diminishing the power of the spatial suppression.
Thus, although Wang Xu’s strength was weakened, if he truly erupted, the spatial suppression would be rendered ineffective.
"Hmph! With just this little means, you want to deal with me?" Wang Xu snorted coldly, and the White Jade Long Saber in his hand suddenly swung out. The Light and Dark Blade Aura flickered like a viper’s tongue in the void, making it impossible for the gray-clothed man to dodge at such a close range.
"Boom!" An energy barrier suddenly emerged over the gray-clothed man. As the initiator of the secret trading post, he had many more treasures on him. Wang Xu’s face darkened in close combat, as the Light and Dark White Jade Long Saber fell on the energy barrier, producing continuous shattering sounds.
"Seven Demons Nail!"
The gray-clothed man’s expression turned cold, and a three-inch black nail, surrounded by a dark aura, appeared between his fingers.
"Another Divine Treasure!" Wang Xu’s heart was shocked. This gray-clothed man seemingly had too many treasures on him. Moreover, the methods he mastered were frighteningly abundant - first the Space-Time Concealment Technique, then Inference Divination, and now possessing so many treasures. Just who exactly was he?
The three-inch black nail hovered wobbly, appearing as if it could fall at any moment, struggling to stay in the air.
"Greedy Demon!" A gleam of dark light appeared in the gray-clothed man’s eyes, and suddenly the three-inch black nail flew towards Wang Xu’s brow at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye!
"Such speed!" Wang Xu was shocked; the three-inch black nail seemed ready to fall at any moment, yet when it exerted force suddenly, even he found it hard to keep up with the speed.
Immediately, Wang Xu’s figure withdrew violently, twisting like a twisting rope, dodging the strike at his head, but his abdomen was struck directly by the black nail.
A bright red gash opened, with speckles of starlit flesh flying out.
"His physical body is actually this strong!" The gray-clothed man’s pupils shrank; what he wielded was the Seven Demons Nail, a Divine Treasure, yet it only left a moderately deep wound on the Great Demon King’s body, which quickly healed, leaving no effect.
"The Great Demon King... truly powerful."
The gray-clothed man gritted his teeth and took out a Light Jade from his hand.
Wang Xu’s strength was beyond his expectations. Against Wang Xu, he saw no chance of victory; his only option was to escape.
"My space treasure!" The gray-clothed man glanced at the space merely over a hundred square meters, feeling extremely pained. It was small but allowed living beings to enter. In cases of danger or dire situations, entering this space would provide immediate safety.
He had spent a great price to snatch it from an auction, initiating the secret trading post within the Thousandfold Divine Country with the help of this space, gaining massive profits.
However, now all of it was because of the Great Demon King before him, he had no choice but to leave the space to save his life.
Space treasure is an incredibly rare treasure; while not a Divine Treasure, its actual value can rival that of a Divine Treasure.
For this reason alone, the gray-clothed man felt extreme pain.
"Great Demon King, I will remember you. In the future, I will ensure you meet a death without burial!" the gray-clothed man spat out viciously and crushed the Light Jade, disappearing into thin air.
By the time the Light and Dark Blade Aura chased after him, the gray-clothed man had completely vanished, leaving several cracks on the space wall where the auras impacted.
"Damn, he got away." Wang Xu frowned; although the gray-clothed man was merely above the Invincible White Hole Level, the threat he posed was greater than that of the ape-like special lifeform, and his endless methods left Wang Xu without any resolution, "It seems my treasures and methods are too few, both for survival and killing, they are too immature."
Wang Xu recalled the peril he faced against the ape-like special lifeform, almost being killed. If he had more life-saving means, even when facing a formidable enemy, he could still calmly depart.
In the cosmos, danger is everywhere, and strong beings abound. If hunted by the powerful, relying on his current means alone, Wang Xu wouldn’t even be able to flee.
"Yu Ru... the next time we meet, I must kill you!" Cold murder intent spread; since he had already become adversaries with this person, death was the only option. Moreover, this person was extremely dangerous, capable of posing a deadly threat to Wang Xu at any time; the latent danger must be strangled in its cradle.
Rumble~
Once the gray-clothed man left, this small space instantly began to become turbulent, and the space coordinates had all been known by Wang Xu. Continuing existence was already impossible, and it had to be destroyed.
Wang Xu took out the Light Jade, gently crushed it, and his figure suddenly disappeared in this narrow space.
...
Outside the Thousandfold Divine Country.
In front of the steel iron gate, the figures of sovereigns of over ten thousand Cosmic Countries have now dwindled to less than three thousand.
Many national sons and ministers of Cosmic Countries either got annihilated inside the Thousandfold Divine Country or fled in an escape attempt, causing their rankings on the steel iron gate to vanish.
The sovereigns of these Cosmic Countries, ashamed to remain here, waved their sleeves in disappointment and left.
Among thirty million Cosmic Martial Artists, those who are dead are dead, those who fled have fled, and the ones remaining either have formidable strength, possess unique life-preservation methods, or formed alliances to survive in some corner of the Thousandfold Divine Country, waiting for the century to pass.
To have fully participated in a Qualification Battle even without proceeding to the subsequent rounds is a testament to a Cosmic Martial Artist’s strength and a badge of honor for a Cosmic Country.
As long as they last till the end, their map fragments can be freely taken out from the War Realm, but the golden hue will fade, turning into a piece of yellowed scrap paper.
This scrap paper is the best proof for a Cosmic Martial Artist.
A proof that they fought in the most brutal Qualification Battle, and finally survived unscathed.
"Father, what rank is Wang Xu now?" asked Princess Bing Qing, her cheeks flushed with excitement.
Over the years, Wang Xu’s ranking rapidly rose, from initially being over nine thousand, continuously surpassing others, until reaching forty-third place.
Among ten million Cosmic Countries and thirty million Cosmic Martial Artists, to rank forty-third in such a brutal and bloody war, the Tai Long Sovereign could no longer conceal his joy.
"Ranked at eighteen now, with over six hundred thousand pieces of map fragments, Wang Xu has done very well, haha!" The Tai Long Sovereign beamed, full of springtime in his face; for the first time in Tai Long, someone not only entered the rankings but surged to attain this unbelievable position. Naturally, the Tai Long Sovereign couldn’t contain his happiness.
All around, Cosmic Monarchs voluntarily engaged in conversation with the Tai Long Sovereign, expressing goodwill.
A ranking within the top thousand in the Qualification Battle is already considered a prodigious talent; entering the top hundred is extraordinary. Such individuals, once they grow, will surpass their current sovereigns!
Making good connections with such figures will be a substantial future asset.
As for the Cosmic Martial Artists of the Yanyue Cosmic Country, ten years ago, when Wang Xu acquired thirty thousand fragments, they embarrassingly crushed their map fragments and fled.
Yanyue Zhe’s face was ashen; almost exhausting the country’s resources to cultivate this genius was meant to make a stunning impact, intending to boast in front of the Tai Long Cosmic Country. The outcome wasn’t far off, ranking over six thousand, which was already better than expected from the start.
However, Yanyue Zhe didn’t anticipate the emergence of Wang Xu in Tai Long, an unimaginable variable, who suddenly broke into the top thousand ranks!
Tai Long’s Ba Donghe and Su Long have already safely exited the Qualification Battle, while Yanyue Cosmic Country lost a competing minister. Thus, even without counting Wang Xu, Yanyue Cosmic Country was destined to lose this bet entirely.
"Wait and see, the wind will destroy the tree that stands out, Wang Xu is too conspicuous and is doomed to fail!" After leaving this remark with a sullen face, Yanyue Zhe waved his sleeves and departed.
In contrast, the Tai Long Sovereign remained joyful, and other Cosmic Monarchs equally disregarded Yanyue Zhe’s words.
Anyone who can break into the top thousand, who among them is not formidable, without some strength, or unique life-saving skills? Even if they can’t win, they at least have the opportunity to crush a map fragment.
Watching the people of Yanyue Cosmic Country leave indignantly, the Tai Long Sovereign, Princess Bing Qing, Ba Donghe, Su Long, and others all laughed heartily.
This time, Tai Long finally regained a victory.
"Strange, Brother Wang already has over six hundred thousand pieces of map fragments; why hasn’t he pieced together a complete map yet?" Su Long asked in confusion.
Everyone shook their heads, not knowing the reason behind this.
"No matter what, as long as Wang Xu can come back safely, that’s all that matters," said Princess Bing Qing.
The characters on the steel iron gate shifted, and the rankings changed.
"Another complete map holder has appeared... The holder’s name is... Wang Xu?"
"Who is this Wang Xu? Among our Ten Extremes Great Countries, we’ve never heard this name."
"Investigate! Find out his background immediately!"
Among the sovereigns, a commotion arose, ten of them possessing an aura more profound and powerful than ordinary sovereigns fixed their gaze upon the name Wang Xu, promptly speaking.
"Hmm?" The Tai Long Sovereign’s eyes lit up, his smile widened, "He succeeded."
However, just as Wang Xu’s ranking changed, before everyone’s words had ended, the characters on the steel iron gate shifted again.
"Another complete map holder?"
"Yu Ru... How come two consecutive Cosmic Martial Artists have appeared, both with names so unfamiliar."
"This Qualification Battle is full of surprises..." (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian (), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit to read.)
