Chapter 1 Mass Transformation

Boom!

The layered abyss space finally reached a qualitative change. A large number of abyss spaces formed a 'phantom abyss', merging into one, and the mighty aura affected the layer of abyss space where Xu Jingming was.

"Hmm? Who is it?"

"A half-step third realm expert of the Illusionist school?"

In this layer of abyss space, the abyss lords sensed it from afar, observing the situation through space-time. After all, even in the abyss space, it was rare to see a half-step third realm expert fight. Every fight would attract the attention of other lords, who wouldn't mind kicking someone when they're down.

Of course, the high and mighty abyss monarchs wouldn't care about these fluctuations.

The illusory abyss that Xu Jingming was using was still too weak in the abyss monarch's perception, not even reaching the most basic warning line.

"What is that?" After seeing the 'phantom abyss', the abyss lords quickly recognized it as a half-step third realm illusion!

"An illusion? I hate these kinds of opponents the most."

"An outsider. They won't stay for long."

They were unwilling to provoke a half-step third realm expert of the Illusionist school because most abyss lords had some mental flaws. They could withstand and ignore weaker illusions with their powerful bodies.

However, when faced with a half-step third realm illusion, most of them couldn't resist. At best, they would be trapped in the illusion for a few breaths, defenseless. At worst, they would be trapped in the illusion and unable to escape.

Therefore, among the various schools of the Heart World, the Illusionist school didn't seem that powerful, but it made many experts feel a headache and fear.

The Illusionist school had one characteristic.

If the enemy couldn't withstand the illusion, they would immediately fall into despair!

If the enemy resisted the illusion, the illusion would be useless, and the half-step third realm expert of the Illusionist school could only flee in panic.

Polarization!

"Phantom Abyss." Xu Jingming could feel the terror of this vast illusion at the moment. "I have only just grasped it, yet I am already at the half-step third realm. The upper limit of the Illusionist school of the Heart World is indeed extremely high."

"To construct an abyss with illusions, and thereby achieve the third realm. If one were to construct an even broader existence with illusions? Perhaps one could impact the final realm?"

Xu Jingming felt that the upper limit of the Illusionist school of the Heart World might be even higher than that of the Heart World Weapon school.

Xu Jingming had created his own school in the human race, which was now one of the four strongest forces within humanity—the Heart Realm! What he taught was the Illusionist school that he had comprehended.

Because the Heart Weapon lineage had too high a threshold! On the one hand, one had to master the power of the Heart World, and on the other hand, one had to have extremely high attainments in weapons. It was hopeless for those below the level of high-dimensional life to even enter, and it was not suitable for teaching low-dimensional life.

The Illusionist school was different. Even Star Cluster lifeforms could use crude illusions. The audience was very wide, and the threshold was very low.

"Hmm?" With a thought, Xu Jingming disappeared from the abyss space and entered the Heart World.

The mighty energy of the Heart World was swallowed into his body, and Xu Jingming's body was also undergoing changes. His size was rapidly increasing!

"Back then, I used the third move of the *Jin Ge* spear technique to break through and become a half-step third realm expert. At that time, although my body transformed, it was more inclined towards density. High-dimensional lifeforms of the Heart Weapon lineage generally have smaller bodies, high energy density, and strong aggressiveness."

"And the Illusionist lineage has ordinary energy density, but… the body size is particularly large!"

"Because one can evolve illusionary worlds with the body! Just like now, my entire body can be transformed into a phantom abyss." Xu Jingming's body was constantly swallowing energy, constantly evolving, and the size was getting bigger and bigger.

This continuous transformation process lasted for nearly half a month.

Xu Jingming also became a super-giant lifeform.

"What a huge body." Xu Jingming looked at his incomparably burly self. "If my body forcibly entered the real universe and completely unfolded in a low-dimensional manner… I should have a height of 12.9 billion light-years. In terms of size, I should be at the same level as Menha Duo."

A height of 12.9 billion light-years, this was when unfolded in the low-dimensional world. It wasn't that big in the high-dimensional space.

Just like the total length of the capillaries in an ordinary human body can circle the Blue Planet several times. But when combined, it's just that big.

Real universes and high-dimensional lifeforms aren't ridiculously large in high-dimensional space. Only when unfolded in low dimensions are they so huge and terrifying.

"In terms of size, I am considered extremely large among the half-step third realm experts." Xu Jingming smiled. "According to the description of the *Xu Yuan* (Phantom Abyss) inheritance, this is also called the Xu Yuan Body."

The size of the body purely depends on one's own school.

Xu Jingming's body was a 'simplified version' of the Xu Yuan! Naturally, it was huge.

A huge lifeform was endowed with super vitality, and it was extremely difficult to destroy such a lifeform.

"The Xu Yuan school has a huge body and extremely strong vitality. However, it is relatively weak in terms of attack, with only the 'illusion' as a means of attack."

"The Heart Weapon school has a smaller body, high energy density, and extremely strong attack."

"Breaking through both schools can complement each other." Xu Jingming was trying. He maintained the huge size of the Xu Yuan Body, and at the same time, he used the methods of the Heart Weapon lineage to increase the energy density of his body, making his body stronger!

The two schools complemented each other, and the strength naturally increased significantly.

"How powerful was Liu Mangxing, the father of that high-dimensional child, who mastered six half-step third realm methods and complemented multiple methods?" Xu Jingming thought from afar. "It's a pity that he died in the hands of the third realm expert in the end."

"Coordinating different methods is a way to improve. Accumulating to the later stage, combining multiple paths to reach the same destination, that is the third realm."

"Another way to improve is to focus on one path." Xu Jingming was very clear about this. For example, improving the Xu Yuan path to the limit could directly reach the third realm.

After Xu Jingming broke through the Xu Yuan lineage, he continued to walk in the abyss, watching the abyss while perfecting his body.

His body maintained the huge size of the Xu Yuan Body, and also maintained extremely high energy density, naturally requiring repeated attempts and adjustments. And at this moment, the universe within Xu Jingming's body had also evolved into a phantom abyss scene.

The phantom abyss was divided into massive layers of space, and these layers of space were also breeding universe spirits.

The vast universe within supplied the energy consumption of the body.

******

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years had passed since Xu Jingming entered the abyss. His aura was completely restrained. He walked in dangerous places one after another, casually collecting a large number of items.

"There are so many Sinister Grass?" Xu Jingming smiled, looking at the lush Sinister Grass in front of him. There were at least tens of thousands of plants.

"Back then, when I was contaminated by the high-dimensional power, the院长 (Dean) and the others modulated the Ice-Cold Wine in order to keep me awake. The main ingredient was this Sinister Grass." Xu Jingming smiled and waved his hand, collecting the tens of thousands of Sinister Grass plants.

"Who? How dare you steal my Sinister Grass!" Accompanied by a low roar, a huge head emerged from the distant gurgling mud. The six blood-colored eyes on the huge head glared at Xu Jingming, and an invisible attack had already arrived.

As a member of the Heart World lineage, Xu Jingming used the Heart World Teleportation to travel, one step being a layer of abyss space, so these abyss devils couldn't defend against him at all.

Xu Jingming arrived at its beloved Sinister Grassland in one step.

"You didn't even look at who I am before attacking?" Xu Jingming shook his head. The abyss devil stared blankly at Xu Jingming, and the six blood-colored eyes became numb and sluggish, completely losing their luster.

It died, died under Xu Jingming's illusion.

"So weak."

With a thought, Xu Jingming collected the corpse of the abyss devil. "After all, it is also the corpse of an Eternal Realm abyss devil, which is still very useful to the human race." A drop of blood from this corpse was enough for tenth-order source lifeforms to study frantically.

"I've been wandering in the abyss for more than a hundred years and have collected quite a lot. Although they are all ordinary, their value is more than 1 drop of abyss mother blood. It should be enough for the human race to exchange for hundreds of millions of years." Xu Jingming thought.

The force he established would release treasures every thousand years for the source lifeforms to exchange.

Moreover, the official exchange of the cosmic human race also required him, as the strongest human, to provide a large number of resources.

It's hard to be in charge without being in charge! Low-dimensional lifeforms can't use treasures that are too precious. One has to prepare cheap ones, and the quantity has to be large enough!

Fortunately, there is an endless abyss! There are countless treasures!

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming suddenly sensed the fluctuations of a half-step third realm battle and immediately looked from afar, revealing a look of joy. "After coming to the abyss for more than a hundred years, I finally saw a great treasure."

…

A wide black river galloped in the high sky, running through this abyss space layer to another space layer, and even continuing to run through it. It was unknown how many abyss space layers it stretched.

At this moment, an iceberg was floating on the surface of the black river. The iceberg was crystal clear under the light. Just watching it made the high-dimensional lifeforms feel greedy and desire to obtain it.

"A Clear Spirit Ice Mountain? How much is such a Clear Spirit Ice Mountain worth? At least 100 drops of abyss mother blood."

"Usually, only some Clear Spirit Ice blocks float on the Nightmare River. This time, it's a whole iceberg?"

"Mine, mine, it's mine!"

As soon as this iceberg appeared, it attracted the surrounding three abyss lords. Their territories were nearby. They discovered it at the first moment and rushed over at the first moment.

Rumble~~~

The Clear Spirit Ice Mountain, worth more than 100 drops of abyss mother blood, made the three abyss lords jealous. However, one of the abyss lords was obviously superior in strength. Tentacles that ran through space and time suppressed and repelled the other two abyss lords with one against two.

"Baiqi Gui!" The other two abyss lords were annoyed and furious.

"It's mine." The huge tentacle monster 'Baiqi Gui' had hundreds of eyes densely packed, staring at the Clear Spirit Ice Mountain, and had already pounced on it, wanting to seize it at the first moment.

"No, it's mine." A voice sounded.

An invisible vast illusion had already enveloped the abyss lord 'Baiqi Gui'.
