Those who could become Abyss Masters were already extremely high in terms of realm. After receiving the Abyss Will's favor and having their strength comprehensively improved, they naturally used the resources bestowed by the 'Abyss Will' to improve themselves in all aspects.

Some of them also cultivated the Mind Realm lineage, possessing numerous incarnations.

"How is this Wu Ming so strong? I took the wrong path this time!" One Abyss Master, who also cultivated the Mind Realm lineage, possessed over a thousand incarnations, all of which were quickly annihilated by Xu Jingming, who crossed space and time, following the cause and effect.

There were also Abyss Masters who cultivated the Mother River lineage, drilling towards the deepest part of the Mother River: "Escape, escape as far as possible! As long as the distance is far enough, the transmission of power will be greatly diminished, and I may be able to survive. This Wu Ming is not good at the Mother River lineage and cannot enter the true depths of the Mother River lineage."

Whoosh.

The Mother River was vast and boundless, and the deeper one went, the more difficult it was to dive. This Abyss Master was clearly very skilled in the Mother River lineage, constantly diving into the deepest part of the Mother River. Each increase in depth involved traversing layers upon layers of space-time.

"Escape, escape further!" This Abyss Master felt that it was already very difficult, but still tried to dive deeper. He even vaguely saw lights in the deeper depths, "Is it almost to the riverbed of the Mother River?"

"Poof!"

An invisible force, following the cause and effect, completely broke through the obstacles of space-time, penetrating this incarnation and completely annihilating him.

The power Xu Jingming used was already at the Third Realm level, transcending time and space. No matter how far away, there was no escape. The obstacles of the Mother River had no effect at all.

…

"Great Master of Ke Ye, I have been serving in the Nightmare Legion for you. Please give me a chance to live." An invincible half-step Third Realm incarnation wandered in the endless territory and even came to the Master of Ke Ye's place, staying in the Nightmare Legion for a long time. But today, he was expelled from the Nightmare Legion.

He knelt before the towering building, begging the Master of Ke Ye.

At the gate of the towering building, a burly black metal figure appeared, looking at the kneeling, begging invincible half-step Third Realm being, and said indifferently, "The Master of Ke Ye is only expelling you. If you continue to pester, you will be completely obliterated."

"General Yun Jiu, we have known each other for so long, give me a chance to live," the invincible half-step Third Realm being pleaded.

"I can't help you. Leave quickly. If you don't leave, the Master of Ke Ye will be furious, and you will die too!" The black metal figure glanced at him, turned, and returned to the towering building. General Yun Jiu was not in a good mood. He had also managed to enter the palace complex in the Ultimate Land, but he had not even managed to condense a divine talisman.

The invincible half-step Third Realm being looked at the building in front of him, dared not to pester any longer, got up, and left.

"The Master of Ke Ye's temperament… doesn't even want to protect me? Is it because of the Ultimate Existence?" the invincible half-step Third Realm being muttered. "The opportunity bestowed by the Ultimate Existence allows competition when it is being contested. But once it is determined to be bestowed, competing again… is courting death?"

Whoosh!

An invisible force crossed the distant space-time, swept across his body, and the invincible half-step Third Realm being fell, lifeless.

Inside the towering building, a pair of eyes watched this scene, and even followed the power to see Xu Jingming's multiple incarnations in the Yuhuo City area: "This Wu Ming should know that this is a member of my Nightmare Legion, but he still shows no mercy. Hmph, he doesn't care about me at all. Wu Ming, Wu Ming… who gave you such courage? The Ultimate Existence?"

The Master of Ke Ye was implicitly the strongest in this space-time, and was naturally extremely proud. Wu Ming's actions displeased him.

But the Master of Ke Ye also sensed the danger.

"We can't even see the Ultimate Existence, yet the Ultimate Existence deliberately left an opportunity. Why?" The Master of Ke Ye speculated silently.

Although he didn't understand the Ultimate Existence's true intentions, he knew one thing very well: do not disrupt the Ultimate Existence's plan! Once he angered the Ultimate Existence, he, the Master of Ke Ye, would also 'disappear' completely, even disappearing from the memories of all living beings.

"Wu Ming, Wu Ming, getting involved in the Ultimate Existence's plan is an opportunity, but it's also very dangerous," the Master of Ke Ye thought.

…

"I am willing to offer this 'Mother River Egg' as a sacrifice." In the Abyss Space, an Abyss Master took out a treasured item, a huge egg, inside which a world was faintly evolving. "I have only one request… I hope the great Abyss will protect me and help me escape Wu Ming's pursuit."

The Abyss Master looked at the huge Abyss phantom above, his eyes full of pleading.

The Mother River Egg was extremely precious. Sacrificing it could even allow an Abyss Lord to break through to become an Abyss Master! It was a type of sacrifice most favored by the Abyss Will.

"Whoosh!" The Abyss phantom, which had already descended, suddenly contracted and retreated in an instant, disappearing.

The Abyss Master stared blankly at this scene.

"Doesn't even want the Mother River Egg? I only want to live. Can't even stop a half-step Third Realm's pursuit?" The Abyss Master couldn't believe it.

But the Abyss Will had already retreated and ignored him.

"The Abyss Will refuses, usually for two reasons. One is that it can't do it, and the other is that the value of the sacrifice is not enough," the Abyss Master mocked himself. Although the power that the Abyss Will could mobilize was terrifying, it was not omnipotent.

"Regardless of the reason, clearly, I won't survive," the Abyss Master said silently. "I have been trapped at the limit for too long. The opportunity on Wu Ming's body was too attractive to me. I gambled, and then, I lost."

The Abyss Master looked up and saw a figure breaking through the air in the distance. It was Xu Jingming: "It's your turn."

******

In three days, these Abyss Masters and invincible half-step Third Realm beings tried every means to escape Wu Ming's pursuit. In the end, out of 825, Xu Jingming killed 823! Only two survived.

"There are still two alive that I can't kill." Xu Jingming walked on a frozen plain in the Abyss, remotely locking onto the remaining two targets. "My power is enough to break through the obstacles of space-time and pursue them, but I can't kill those two."

"One is Monarch You Yue, and the other is Traveler Ji Mo."

Xu Jingming could sense them remotely.

Monarch You Yue had an incarnation hiding in an unknown place in the Abyss. It seemed ordinary, with a wooden house. Monarch You Yue was hiding in this wooden house.

"I can see through cause and effect that he is in that wooden house. But when my power is transmitted, it is completely blocked by the wooden house! I can't touch Monarch You Yue at all," Xu Jingming frowned slightly.

If a Third Realm being deliberately intervened, they could naturally intercept him.

Could this wooden house also block his power?

"I once tried to teleport through the Mind Realm to reach that wooden house. But when I arrived, I couldn't find the wooden house," Xu Jingming shook his head slightly. "And Traveler Ji Mo is hiding in a palace at the bottom of the Mother River. My power also cannot break through the obstacles of that palace, and my incarnation cannot find that palace at the bottom of the Mother River."

"I thought I could solve all 825 of them, but the result tells me… the future is unknown, and there will always be some variables." Xu Jingming could only temporarily accept this result.

"We still have to be in awe of the future." Xu Jingming looked at the rushing river ahead.

The river was vast and mighty, with ice floes rising and falling in it. It was as if countless living beings were floating in the river of fate, and they could hardly resist the general trend, only rising and falling, struggling to survive.

Xu Jingming sat down cross-legged. The slaughter had come to an end. During this period, he had repeatedly used the Mind Realm Spear Technique to kill, and there were many insights in the process, but he had not been able to calm down and reflect on them.

At this moment, Xu Jingming sat in meditation by the river on the frozen plain of the Abyss, sorting out his insights.

As he sorted out his insights, he became completely immersed in them!

He already had a large number of inspirations emerging. The attack of 825 powerhouses had interrupted his seclusion. Now, with the insights from the slaughter experiments, he naturally continued to comprehend.

This time, no one dared to disturb him!

…

Yuhuo City was very lively. At a gathering of half-step Third Realm beings, everyone was talking about the recent catastrophe.

"Out of 825 Abyss Masters and invincible half-step Third Realm beings, a full 823 were completely killed! The other two are hiding in special dangerous places and dare not come out at all."

"In the past, it was said that reaching the limit of the half-step Third Realm was being an invincible half-step Third Realm being. In my opinion… the so-called invincibility in the past was a joke. Wu Ming's strength is the real invincible half-step Third Realm being."

"Yes, he is the real invincible one."

Everyone was talking about it.

In a corner of the gathering, Gu Mo listened without participating in the discussion.

"This Wu Ming has grown to this point," Gu Mo felt only a sense of唏嘘 and感慨 (xi xu gan kai – mixed feelings of sorrow and admiration).

…

On Ten Thousand Star Island.

World Boundary Master Gu Shu and Boat Master Beihe had also come as guests, but Xu Jingming was in seclusion, and they didn't want to disturb him.

"Killed them all?" Dean, Island Master, Tower Master, Chih Meng, and Meng Tian looked at the three half-step Third Realm beings in front of them.

"Almost." Island Master Di Long quickly said, "Out of 825, 823 were killed! It was a thorough annihilation, all incarnations were removed, and all life imprints were erased. Only two hid in special places and survived by luck."

"Too strong." World Boundary Master Gu Shu sighed aside. "Unimaginably powerful."

"It is my good fortune that Beihe has a friend like Brother Wu Ming in this life," Boat Master Beihe said with pride. He felt that it was too worthwhile to have given away nearly half his wealth in the form of the treasure 'Eight Thousand Star Rivers' as a gift.

Island Master Di Long asked, "Brother Wu Ming has stopped pursuing them, but he has not appeared. Is he in seclusion?"

"Yes." Dean nodded. "He is in seclusion, unwilling to be disturbed by anyone."

"Some powerhouses remotely窥探 (kui tan – spied) that Brother Wu Ming has an incarnation in seclusion in the Abyss," World Boundary Master Gu Shu said. "Although many Abyss Masters have 窥探 (kui tan – spied) this, they have all 미리 (mi ri – 미리; in advance) blocked the area and prohibited any living beings from approaching. They dare not disturb Brother Wu Ming."

"It seems that Brother Wu Ming is about to directly become a Third Realm being this time," Boat Master Beihe said excitedly.

"He said it himself before," Island Master Di Long also said excitedly in a low voice, "He is very close to the Third Realm."

…

Time passed.

After Xu Jingming's large-scale pursuit and killing, he 静心 (jing xin – quietly) comprehended, and the various powerhouses had been paying attention to him. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

"Buzz~~~"

On this day.

In this spacetime, Featherfire Monarch, Lou Ye Monarch, Master of Ke Ye, Drunken Old Man, and so on, 35 Third Realm existences simultaneously felt a powerful Mind Realm will appear in this spacetime.

Moreover, this Mind Realm will was rapidly transforming, constantly becoming stronger! Becoming more and more terrifying, it had already begun to affect the entire spacetime.

"Another Third Realm being is about to be added to this spacetime, and it is still a Third Realm being of the Mind Realm lineage." Featherfire Monarch smiled and looked remotely at Xu Jingming, who was sitting cross-legged by the river on the frozen plain of the Abyss.

The Drunken Old Man felt this rising Mind Realm will and smiled: "Finally becoming a Third Realm being."
