Chapter 233 Arriving at the Continent

At that moment, not only Xu Jingming, but also the thousands of half-step third realm experts in his original area were teleported to extremely distant places under the terrifying spacetime fluctuations, and each of them could not find their companions.

The deeper one went into this mysterious area, the more terrifying the spacetime fluctuations became. Batches of half-step third realm experts were scattered. Some were even crushed by spacetime and lost their lives directly.

"Buzz." Without companions, Xu Jingming could only fly cautiously, avoiding places where he sensed extremely terrifying power.

After flying for about half an hour in the chaotic spacetime fluctuations and being teleported more than ten times, Xu Jingming didn't know where he was, nor which direction to go.

Finally, he was swept away by another spacetime fluctuation, and Xu Jingming finally saw a boundless land in the distance.

Whoosh.

He drifted with the 'waves', swept by the spacetime fluctuations and arrived at this land.

This land was boundless, and there were some native creatures living peacefully on it. Some flew in the sky, some ran on the ground, and some swam in the rivers.

However, when half-step third realm experts were swept in by the 'spacetime fluctuations', the surrounding native creatures would sense their arrival.

"Outsiders!" The native creatures all looked in that direction, clearly sensing the arrival of foreign life.

Whoosh.

Silently, all the native creatures in a large area disappeared.

…

Xu Jingming and the other tens of thousands of half-step third realm experts were actually swept along by the 'spacetime fluctuations' in the chaotic spacetime fluctuations. Except for the very few who were swept to their deaths, the survivors all arrived at this land.

It was just that the land was too vast, and the tens of thousands of half-step third realm experts were scattered in various parts of the land, very far apart from each other, making it difficult to sense other companions.

"This land?" Xu Jingming stepped on the land, looking around. "There are no living beings, it's completely silent."

He didn't know that before he arrived, there were still many native creatures in this area.

"The rules are very restrictive," Xu Jingming carefully sensed. "The suppression is even stronger than in Featherfire City. I can't use heart realm teleportation, my perception of karma has become very weak, and even flying feels very difficult."

Xu Jingming glanced behind him. The area behind him was where he had landed, near the edge of the continent, where he could see the chaotic spacetime fluctuations outside the border.

"Advance towards the depths of the continent." Xu Jingming remained vigilant and proceeded cautiously.

At this time, a hidden illusory creature was staring at Xu Jingming. It was slightly larger than Xu Jingming and was carefully observing him.

Xu Jingming was completely unaware. When these native creatures were hidden, even third realm experts of the heart realm lineage would find it difficult to sense them.

"Outsider." The hidden creature quietly observed, while slowly approaching. Its eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent. "All must die."

Xu Jingming continued to advance cautiously, unaware that the illusory creature was getting closer and closer to him. Even in the distant places, there were other illusory native creatures spying on Xu Jingming.

"Kill!" The hidden creature, extremely close to Xu Jingming, suddenly attacked.

When it attacked, its body changed from illusory to real, completely appearing before Xu Jingming's eyes.

Because in the hidden state, although Xu Jingming could not sense it or touch it, it could not harm Xu Jingming in the slightest. Only by transforming into a real state could it hope to kill the outsider.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming was shocked. A mysterious creature with a silver-gray body appeared out of nowhere in front of him. The moment he saw the appearance of this mysterious creature, Xu Jingming felt that his mind was being eroded and affected.

Fortunately, as a half-step third realm expert of the heart realm lineage, his mind was strong enough, and he could still maintain sufficient rationality.

"Whoosh." A pair of sharp claws slashed across Xu Jingming's body.

The distance was too close, and the mysterious creature attacked too quickly.

But Xu Jingming also instantly transformed, splitting into three. Each of the three Xu Jingmings held a mind spear, without dodging at all, and also instantly transformed into three dark rays of light that passed through the mysterious creature's body.

The three dark rays of light were precisely the fourth form of *Jin Ge* (Golden Halberd)—Black Night!

Compared to when it was first created, this move was more restrained and even more terrifying.

When it was hit, it was only a dark ray of light.

After that, the three dark rays of light spread throughout the mysterious creature's body, and darkness spread and diffused.

"Ooh." The silver-gray mysterious creature cried out in pain, glanced at the three Xu Jingmings with some anger, and then completely vanished into nothingness.

"Disappeared?"

The three Xu Jingmings each held a spear, but two of the avatars had been torn with huge wounds.

"In one exchange, two of my avatars were injured, and nearly half of my bodies were destroyed. If I were hit by another claw, the avatars would be completely shattered." Xu Jingming's expression changed slightly. "And I used my mind weapons with three avatars at the same time, and it actually withstood it."

Although the weapon he used was not a third realm weapon, but a mind spear that he had nurtured and refined himself.

But the combined power of the three avatars was already very terrifying.

"I just arrived on this land, and the strength of a mysterious creature I encountered is no less than mine." Xu Jingming's mind moved, and the two avatars outside were retracted. He observed his surroundings even more carefully. "Moreover, it appeared without warning, and when it disappeared, I couldn't detect it either."

Coming and going as it pleased.

This made Xu Jingming feel faintly uneasy.

"Woo, woo woo—"

Xu Jingming couldn't see it, but the illusory native creatures around him, after seeing the 'silver-gray creature' fighting Xu Jingming and ultimately being severely injured, were all wary and kept their distance from Xu Jingming.

That silver-gray creature was naturally inconspicuous in the entire boundless land. There were many more powerful than it.

But in the surrounding area, it was already one of the strongest. Since the silver-gray creature failed to win against the outsider, the other weaker ones naturally dared not go up.

"And I was only looking at its real appearance, and my mind was being eroded, and I felt fear?" Xu Jingming was secretly shocked.

Low-dimensional life would be polluted by high-dimensional life when viewing it.

Xu Jingming's daring to look at this native creature did not count as high-dimensional pollution, but it could erode the mind. This was very terrifying.

"Areas related to ultimate existences must be more careful," Xu Jingming thought to himself.

…

When Xu Jingming and the others were scattered and landed in various border areas of this land, except for the lucky few who landed in special areas, all were attacked by native creatures. When these native creatures were hidden, even invincible experts in the half-step third realm were completely unaware. The attacks naturally caused the half-step third realm experts to suffer quite a bit.

"Hmm?" Some half-step third realm experts who were weaker in terms of mind were affected by the erosion of their minds when they saw the skin patterns on the surface of the native creatures. Their consciousness was distorted, and they had no power to resist. Naturally, they were easily torn apart and killed by the native creatures.

Only those who could resist the erosion of their minds were qualified to fight the native creatures.

******

Xu Jingming initially moved relatively slowly, but because he had not been attacked since and had not seen any creatures, Xu Jingming's speed increased.

He transformed into a shadow, rushing across the boundless continent.

"On this continent, apart from the mysterious creature I fought at the beginning, I haven't seen any other living beings." Xu Jingming carefully observed everywhere while hurrying on, his brain operating at ultra-high speed, carefully analyzing all the scenes he saw, and studying all kinds of possibilities.

"Kill!"

Without warning, directly in front of Xu Jingming, who was rushing at ultra-high speed, a scimitar-like black tentacle appeared, passing across Xu Jingming's body as fast as lightning.

Xu Jingming's body was severely damaged, but it quickly healed, and two more Xu Jingmings appeared out of thin air.

"Void Abyss!"

The seriously injured Xu Jingming stared at the black tentacle creature. This creature was quite tall, with nine black tentacles. Just looking at it seemed to be affected by some kind of power, affecting Xu Jingming's reason.

But how powerful was Xu Jingming's mental strength? He was not shaken at all.

The Void Abyss illusion descended, enveloping the tentacle creature, and two more Xu Jingmings, holding spears, rushed over to kill it.

"Whoosh." "Whoosh."

Affected by the Void Abyss illusion, the tentacle creature struggled, but was still pierced by the two dark rays of light transformed by Xu Jingming holding spears.

This time, after these two dark rays of light pierced through, the invisible darkness instantly spread, completely eroding the entire tentacle creature. The tentacle creature's body stiffened, its eyes also dimmed, and its mind consciousness was completely destroyed.

"Dead?" Xu Jingming breathed a sigh of relief. He felt it when the mind weapon attacked. "This tentacle creature's mental resistance is much weaker than that silver-gray creature."

Because he had traveled far enough, this tentacle creature did not know about Xu Jingming's battle with the silver-gray creature. If it had known, it would not have dared to attack.

"Killing one, I got a corpse, I can study what kind of creature this is. I've never heard of it, just the appearance can affect the mind of a half-step third realm expert." Xu Jingming walked over and observed the corpse of the black tentacle creature.

The mental consciousness was annihilated, but the corpse was still intact.

Just as Xu Jingming was observing, the corpse silently collapsed and was annihilated.

"What's going on?" Xu Jingming was shocked. He mobilized the power of the heart realm to seal the corpse, but it was useless. The collapse and annihilation of the corpse could not be stopped.

In just a few breaths, the corpse of the black tentacle creature was completely annihilated.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming looked at what was left behind after the corpse was annihilated. "What is this?"

In the original position of the corpse, a black character was floating.

This black character, with just a few strokes, constituted some unknown writing, or an unknown rune.

Xu Jingming could see clearly that the black character should have been in the body of the mysterious creature. The corpse was annihilated and collapsed, and the black character was revealed.

"A mysterious creature, after death, became a character?" Xu Jingming's heart realm power slowly touched it. The black character was as solid as it floated there. The more Xu Jingming looked at it, the more familiar it felt. "This character has only a few strokes, but these strokes...how does it feel like the strokes of the gun technique outlined on the silver paper are very similar?"

That style of spear technique was outlined by many strokes.

Xu Jingming had once divided the silver paper into small pieces and carefully studied each stroke. He had studied each stroke carefully for hundreds of thousands of years, so he was naturally very familiar with this kind of stroke. Therefore, when he saw the character, he quickly confirmed this.

"The strokes of this character and the strokes of that style of spear technique are derived from the same ultimate existence?" Xu Jingming immediately had a guess.
