Chapter 1 The Ultimate Opportunity

"The ultimate place, a real opportunity!" Including Xu Jingming, a large number of the half-step third realm experts couldn't hide their excitement as they watched the palace complex slowly rise.

They were all very clear...

This might be the greatest opportunity of their lives!

"We, these invincible half-step third realm experts, have rushed here from all over the endless territories, and there are a great number of us. But if we rely on ourselves, I estimate none of us will be able to become a third realm expert."

"To become a third realm expert, you have to have a great opportunity."

"Seize the opportunity before your eyes! At all costs!"

These half-step third realm experts clearly saw that the palace complex in the distance had stopped rising and was completely stable there. The aura that had been oscillating and dissipating also subsided and stabilized, and the sense of oppression was greatly reduced.

"Quick!"

"Hurry over!"

Many half-step third realm experts rushed over quickly. Xu Jingming took a step and traversed a long distance. He traveled extremely fast, and after only a few steps, he arrived near the palace complex.

Dozens of half-step third realm experts had already gathered near the palace complex. They were already very close, so they were the first to arrive.

"What a palace complex." Xu Jingming observed, feeling that the walls of the palace complex in front of him were tall, and faintly discernible, it was difficult to tell whether they were real or illusory. There was also a faint aura flowing, surrounding the entire palace complex.

The entire palace complex's aura was connected as one. Although the aura was restrained and stable, upon careful perception, one couldn't help but feel awe.

"I have seen third realm existences before, but their auras are not as oppressive as this palace," Xu Jingming thought to himself. "I collected many rare objects before, and these rare objects are of varying value, all of them very magical. But compared to the palace complex in front of me... the difference is immeasurable."

An aura stronger than third realm existences, far exceeding many high-dimensional celestial bodies.

Perhaps only the Primordial Star, the Abyss, and a few other existences could surpass this palace complex.

"Charge." A half-step third realm expert condensed from flames took the lead and rushed towards the main gate of the palace complex. The main gate was open. Xu Jingming and the others were not in a hurry to rush in, but carefully watched.

The flame-condensed half-step third realm expert took the lead in rushing into the main gate, but when he flew into the main gate area, his figure shrank sharply, becoming smaller and smaller.

"Huh? What's going on here?" The flame half-step third realm expert swayed within the main gate area, and soon walked out of the main gate area in a daze. When he left the main gate area, his body returned to normal.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

In just over ten breaths of time, a large number of half-step third realm experts had arrived. They all landed around the palace complex, their eyes fiery but cautiously observing.

"The opportunity left by the ultimate existence is not so easy to take." They were all very patient.

"Is that City Lord Fei Ke? He is extremely intelligent and not in a hurry to attack."

"Wu Ming has also arrived. His achievements in the space-time lineage are the best in the ultimate place, and he is not in a hurry to rush in."

"Look, the highest leader of the Night Dream Legion—General Yun Jiu!"

These half-step third realm experts were also observing.

Because this was the depths of the mountain range, those who could arrive at the first time were invincible half-step third realm experts and abyss monarchs! They came from under the command of the 35 third realm experts and were very extraordinary.

Those who could make a name for themselves during this period all had extraordinary means.

City Lord Fei Ke—an invincible half-step third realm expert of the science lineage, with endless methods. He was also extremely excellent in the space-time arena and had been invited by many third realm experts to participate in competitions. His reputation had spread to many timelines.

General Yun Jiu—the undisputed leader of the Night Dream Legion, with extremely deep accumulation. He was recognized within the legion as the most promising existence to become a third realm expert.

Wu Ming—a terrifying expert from Yu Huo City, rumored to be only over 300,000 years old since birth, yet his strength was already unfathomable. In terms of individual strength, he was probably the strongest half-step third realm expert in the entire ultimate place.

"He is Wu Ming?" A burly black metal figure glanced at Xu Jingming. "The peerless genius of Yu Huo City. I heard that when he came to the ultimate place, he had not yet reached the invincible half-step third realm. But now he can kill an invincible half-step third realm expert in two or three moves. The endless territories are truly filled with experts like clouds. There are actually such monsters."

"Wu Ming?"

City Lord Fei Ke also observed Xu Jingming. He collected Xu Jingming's information through causal observation, through timeline observation, and through void trace observation, in all aspects. "I have participated in seven major competitions in the space-time arena and have seen many outstanding figures from various timelines, but I have never seen anyone as special as him. His power seems to have already touched a higher dimension?"

Xu Jingming did not observe other experts, because he was already the strongest one. What he cared about most was the palace complex in front of him.

"More than a dozen half-step third realm experts have rushed towards the main gate of the palace, one after another. Some have also tried to climb over the wall! All have failed," Xu Jingming observed. "Those who climbed over the wall were directly shocked into nothingness. Those who went through the main gate... all walked out in a daze."

"It's a maze."

"It's a maze composed of mysterious characters."

"After walking in, you are trapped in the maze. It's difficult to tell the direction, and you unknowingly walk out."

These half-step third realm experts who failed their attempts did not hide anything, after all, they all had the same experience.

"A character maze, is it a test of characters?" Xu Jingming pondered, and immediately split off an avatar to fly towards the main gate of the palace complex.

"Wu Ming has gone over."

"He has made a move."

"This monster has broken the limit of the invincible half-step third realm. He is the strongest in the entire ultimate place! With his strength, maybe he can break in!" The thousands of experts gathered around were observing.

"The palace complex left by the ultimate existence cannot be entered just by being strong. In my opinion, he can't get in either."

These half-step third realm experts discussed, while also carefully observing, wanting to learn some experience from Xu Jingming.

The closer Xu Jingming flew to the main gate, the larger he felt the entire palace complex's main gate became, constantly magnifying a hundred times, a thousand times, hundreds of millions of times, as if he was a tiny speck of dust, completely immersed in a special space-time.

"Huh?" Xu Jingming looked at what was in front of him in surprise.

When the main gate of the palace complex became infinitely large, finally, Xu Jingming saw countless characters floating in this special space-time.

"I have collected only over 120,000 characters so far. There are at least tens of millions of characters floating here at a glance." Xu Jingming looked, countless characters were flowing, and the scene in front of him had completely become a world of characters.

"This is the character maze?"

Xu Jingming observed these characters and also tried to fly forward.

Time slowly passed, and other half-step third realm experts flew in one after another to try. All of them were trapped in the character maze and walked out in a daze.

Xu Jingming, on the other hand, persisted in the character maze.

"Mazes also have rules." Xu Jingming only observed for fifteen minutes and had already glimpsed the rules of the character maze. He flew according to the rules, and only felt the characters in front of him flow rapidly.

After more than ten breaths of time, the rapidly flowing countless characters completely disappeared.

Xu Jingming had flown into a huge garden. He looked back and saw the seemingly ordinary main gate of the palace, and the many half-step third realm experts outside the main gate with their jaws dropped.

Those half-step third realm experts saw Xu Jingming walk into the main gate and successfully enter the palace complex, and were both shocked and jealous.

"He succeeded, but I tried just now and failed." General Yun Jiu looked from afar, with a hint of urgency in his heart. "The opportunity left by the ultimate existence, if you're slow, I'm afraid he will snatch it away."

Whoosh, General Yun Jiu flew towards the main gate again.

"Quick, quick, quick."

"Try it quickly."

As Xu Jingming succeeded, the many half-step third realm experts who were still carefully observing swarmed towards the main gate.

"Brother Wu Ming, can you tell us the trick to get in?" A half-step third realm expert shouted loudly, knowing that the possibility of Xu Jingming telling them was very low, but when it came to the opportunity left by the ultimate existence, they had to try.

Xu Jingming completely ignored the outside world.

"I obtained that silver paper from Lou Ye Jun, and comprehended that one move of spearmanship on the silver paper for more than 300,000 years. Laying the foundation in advance allowed me to take the lead." Xu Jingming was in the huge garden of the palace complex. "Now that I have the lead, I must seize the opportunity!"

At a critical moment, you can't be soft-hearted! At the same time, Xu Jingming's avatar outside the palace also entered through the main gate.

"Look for opportunities."

In an instant, Xu Jingming split off avatars, and more than five hundred Xu Jingmings dispersed and explored different areas of the palace complex.

...

Outside the ultimate place, 35 towering existences had been following the causal threads, peeking into the timelines of the half-step third realm experts, understanding their experiences, and observing the ultimate place in this way.

At this moment, they all locked onto Xu Jingming, observing Xu Jingming's timeline, and understanding his every move.

What Xu Jingming saw, they could naturally see through the timeline as well.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

These third realm existences were all shocked.

"Everything inside this palace complex is blurry and cannot be seen clearly at all."

"Can't see anything."

"This Xu Jingming is clearly watching very attentively. But we can't see it?"

The 35 third realm experts were very unwilling. They also wanted to know what was inside the palace complex!

The strongest existence present, the Master of Ke Ye, shook his head and said, "We all have ways to jump out of the timeline so that other beings cannot peek! If the ultimate existence does not want us to see, no matter what method we use, we will not be able to see it."

Lou Ye Jun also nodded: "This is clearly an opportunity left for the half-step third realm experts! We can still peek into the outer areas, but we cannot peek into the most crucial internal part of the palace at all."

"This Wu Ming has high talent. He was the first to condense divine runes, and was also the first to enter the palace. Perhaps the opportunity left by the ultimate existence will fall into his hands."

"That's not certain! Until the end, anything is possible."

"Look, another half-step third realm expert has entered."

"There are still many with high talent. Fei Ke has also entered. Three have already entered!"

The 35 third realm existences watched. Since they could not seize the opportunity, they could only wait patiently to see who it would ultimately fall into.
