Chapter 13 You're Dead

"Alright, I'll let him go." The gray-robed figure, 'Du Ying', nodded, but then his expression changed, and he said anxiously, "Na Tuo, that Wu Ming unleashed black flames that completely incinerated the trap I set up."

"So quickly incinerated?" Na Tuo was surprised. "He's just a newly advanced Eternal Realm expert. Does even a scouting clone have such power?"

Scouting clones generally don't carry any precious treasures. It's good enough if they can display thirty or forty percent of their perfect state. A scouting clone destroyed the trap?

This completely contradicted the information on Wu Ming.

"He fell into my trap and destroyed it, creating such karma. He must be able to sense my existence," the gray-robed Du Ying said worriedly. "Will he bring those three monsters from Wanxing Island to kill us?"

Na Tuo shook his head. "Don't worry, the three monsters from Wanxing Island aren't from the Mind Realm lineage. They only have one true body! Within the Yuanjin Mountain Range, Wu Ming wouldn't dare to bring them for a Mind Realm teleportation directly. And this is our cave abode. Wu Ming won't let his companions take risks."

Buzz!

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure descended from nothingness above a palace in the distance. It was Xu Jingming.

Indeed.

Xu Jingming wouldn't dare bring the Dean and the others for a Mind Realm teleportation to an unknown enemy's lair. But after his scouting clone used the Black Lotus Fire of the Eight Leaves Realm to burn in all directions, completely destroying the trap, he immediately followed the karma and Mind Realm teleported over.

A Mind Realm lineage expert can sense when others mention their name, let alone the great karma of an ambush trap.

"So it's you two Abyss old devils." Xu Jingming observed the gray-robed Du Ying and Na Tuo, recognizing their identities. "With your methods, there should be many traps you've set up within the Yuanjin Mountain Range."

Those traps intercepted all passing high-dimensional lifeforms. If their strength wasn't enough, they would die! The two of them didn't care about collateral damage.

Du Ying and Na Tuo's expressions didn't change.

After all, their reputation was already ruined.

"Wu Ming," Na Tuo said, "this is indeed the cave abode that Du Ying and I built. We've also set up more and more powerful traps. If you attack, you'll only be sending your clone to its death."

Du Ying also said, "Your Wanxing Island migrated to this territory, but we've never fought you before. We have no intention of being enemies with Wanxing Island. You should leave quickly."

Xu Jingming ignored them, instead observing the vast cave abode, sensing the various hidden dangers.

"Wu Ming! We're giving Wanxing Island face because of the three island masters. You're just a newly advanced Eternal Realm expert. You should have some self-awareness," Na Tuo frowned. "In high-dimensional space, those without self-awareness don't live long."

Of course, Na Tuo looked down on Xu Jingming. He had been performing Abyss sacrifices for a long time and had cultivated for countless years, reaching the peak of the Eternal Realm long ago.

The various treasures he gained from the Abyss sacrifices allowed him to walk unhindered.

There weren't many he feared in this territory. The three island masters of Wanxing Island were among them! As for Wu Ming? He had only reached the Eternal Realm for a few thousand years. He had never taken him seriously.

"Is that so? I want to see who won't live long," Xu Jingming said with an icy gaze.

Na Tuo's expression turned cold upon hearing this.

He, Na Tuo, had been traversing the Nantian 3609 Territory for countless years, with a resounding reputation! Giving Wanxing Island face didn't mean he had to give Wu Ming face.

"You're really courting death," Na Tuo sneered. "Very well, let the three island masters of Wanxing Island behind you come together. I want to see if Wanxing Island has the ability to break through my cave abode."

Du Ying stood aside, equally unconcerned.

Outside, they were very wary of the three monsters of Wanxing Island.

But what did they have to fear within their own cave abode?

This cave abode was built according to the dangers of the Yuanjin Mountain Range itself. In addition to the many methods they had set up, it also concealed several terrifying dangers of the Yuanjin Mountain Range itself.

"You're very confident," Xu Jingming said, looking at the cave abode. "But to kill you two Abyss devils, one of me is enough."

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a black lotus blossomed with Xu Jingming as the center, and black flames spread in all directions.

"Chichi chichi ~~~"

Gray forces quickly rose around them, isolating the spread of the Black Lotus Fire.

"Just this little bit of flame?" Na Tuo sneered, completely dismissive. The Black Lotus Fire incinerated matter and burned the mind, but its threat was greatly reduced if it couldn't touch the opponent. Moreover, the Black Lotus Fire of the Eight Leaves Realm couldn't threaten Na Tuo's condensed demon body.

Na Tuo's demon body had consumed a drop of Abyss Mother Blood and a large amount of Abyss True Blood obtained from sacrifices, reaching the peak of the Eternal Realm long ago.

Even the Black Lotus Fire of the Nine Leaves Realm would only slightly injure him.

Only by reaching the level of the Red Lotus Fire could he incinerate such an Abyss old devil. Mastering the Red Lotus Fire also required the use of a corresponding 'Third Realm Weapon' to compete with other half-step Third Realm experts.

Relying solely on the Red Lotus Fire without powerful treasures or weapons would place one at the bottom among the half-step Third Realm experts.

This was the importance of treasures and weapons.

Among the various Mind Realm lineages, the 'Mind Weapon lineage' was renowned for its combat prowess!

"Destroying a mere clone of yours will serve as a warning," Na Tuo said. Immediately, the gray forces greatly increased, transforming into three gray pythons. Each gray python possessed the strength of the Eternal peak, all attacking Xu Jingming.

This was the advantage of being in one's own cave abode, being able to use array methods to unleash extraordinary strength.

Xu Jingming didn't even look at the three gray pythons, instead observing Na Tuo and Du Ying.

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming disappeared from the spot.

An Xu Jingming appeared on either side of Na Tuo and Du Ying.

The two black-clothed Xu Jingmings also unleashed surging Black Lotus Fire.

"Where my gaze reaches, my thoughts arrive; naturally, I can Mind Realm teleport," Xu Jingming said. Mind Realm teleportation could be performed within the Mind Realm or outside. Outside, the obstacles were greater, and the distance was naturally shorter.

But what was considered short? With Xu Jingming's current strength, he could reach the end of a territory with dozens of teleports outside. Teleporting to Na Tuo and Du Ying who were right in front of him was naturally effortless.

"To my side?" Na Tuo felt warm and comfortable when he was attacked by the Black Lotus Fire. It didn't pose any threat to him at all. He waved his right hand! His right hand was crystal clear, and the golden scales covering his fingers seemed to contain a hidden Abyss projection. With a grab, Xu Jingming felt an inescapable sensation.

"Ah!!!"

The gray-robed Du Ying, encountering the Black Lotus Fire at close range, couldn't even dodge in time and was already covered by the Black Lotus Fire, letting out a painful wail.

The Black Lotus Fire of the Eight Leaves Realm was already very strong. The reason Na Tuo could ignore it was entirely due to his use of Abyss Mother Blood and Abyss True Blood to cultivate his physical body to an inconceivable level. The Dean, Tower Master, and Island Master, who were also at the peak of the Eternal Realm, were inferior to Na Tuo in terms of physical body alone. If the Black Lotus Fire couldn't break through the protection of the physical body, it naturally couldn't harm him.

But Du Ying's physical body couldn't withstand the Black Lotus Fire.

The Black Lotus Fire damaged and burned Du Ying's physical body, while also penetrating and burning his mind. Du Ying wailed in pain, his face distorted.

"He's beyond saving," Na Tuo judged at a glance. He couldn't stop the Black Lotus Fire from burning his mind.

"Huff."

Du Ying was about to die, but Na Tuo didn't care.

After all, he was just a convenient tool to him!

"You do have some strength." Na Tuo's right hand enveloped him, and space seemed to be sealed off. Xu Jingming couldn't dodge, and his figure suddenly blurred and disappeared, escaping into the Mind Realm.

"Hmph."

Na Tuo snorted coldly.

Killing the clone of a Mind Realm expert was meaningless.

"I've suffered a small loss this time. Du Ying died in his hands. I'll have to find another good helper," Na Tuo thought as he walked towards the wailing Du Ying. "However, Du Ying's accumulated treasures will all be mine."

Just then—

A illusory figure appeared out of nowhere, holding an equally illusory long spear.

"Hmm?" Na Tuo's expression changed slightly upon seeing it. "Mind Weapon?"

That long spear could exist in reality or in the mind's consciousness; it was a Mind Weapon.

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming, holding the spear, transformed into a dazzling light, flashed past, and pierced through Na Tuo's body.

Na Tuo's physical body was intact, but his eyes were wide and round as he stood in place in disbelief.

Xu Jingming, holding the spear, gradually solidified from the illusory.

"This is the first move of the spear technique I created, 'Golden Halberd'—Thunderbolt! You are the first to taste this spear technique," Xu Jingming whispered. 'Golden Halberd' currently only had two spear techniques.

Both moves were aimed at the mind's consciousness.

One spear thrust!

If the opponent's mind could block it, they would live!

If they couldn't block it, they would die!

One spear, one kill, was no exaggeration!

Xu Jingming waved his hand, collecting Na Tuo's corpse and the spoils left behind by Du Ying. Then, he looked in one direction. "What an Abyss old devil, hiding a life imprint in the Abyss?"

…

Within the layer of space where the Abyss and Nantian 3609 Territory intersected, there was a vast golden lake.

When Na Tuo was killed, the golden lake immediately gurgled and rolled. The lake water began to gather, forming a huge golden figure. The golden figure's face was exactly Na Tuo's.

"What a terrifying Mind spear technique, targeting my mind's consciousness." Na Tuo still had fear in his eyes. "That spear seemed to destroy everything. I couldn't block it at all, and my consciousness was instantly annihilated."

"Even following the Mind induction, my other five life imprints were destroyed. Only this one remains barely supported," Na Tuo said as he condensed his body, also looking in one direction in horror.

An illusory transparent figure, holding a transparent long spear, had already descended into the Abyss, descending to the sky above the golden lake.

Relying on induction and Mind Realm teleportation, Xu Jingming had teleported here within a breath.

"Wu Ming, I was wrong, I was wrong. Spare me; I am willing to be your subordinate," Na Tuo immediately begged. He knew that he could not escape the pursuit of a Mind Realm expert!

Whoosh!

It was still a dazzling light that pierced through his newly condensed lake body.

The lake body stiffened, suddenly collapsing, turning into lake water and falling down. The entire golden lake became devoid of any life.

"I have so many clones; what do I need you as a servant for," Xu Jingming said with a wave of his hand. The vast golden lake water surged over and was collected by Xu Jingming.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming's figure blurred and disappeared, leaving the Abyss.

The Abyss old devil 'Na Tuo', who had committed countless evils and was fiercely mighty in the Nantian 3609 Territory, was silently killed. His years of accumulation naturally fell into Xu Jingming's hands, finally allowing Xu Jingming to escape his poverty.
