Hmm, it is starting very soon, Po Ming!
"Po Ming stood up from the ground. He saw Mingyin's body floating upward, whispering something under his breath as he drifted.Po Ming looked away and stared at the sky. It was turning a clear red once again, exuding a beautiful, enveloping glow
.[TENTH ROUND IS OVER]
[ELEVENTH ROUND BEGINS NOW]
[03:00:00 HOURS REMAIN]
Po Ming sighed. "It seems the time we were given for this round is still three hours...""
Yeah, sorry, Po Ming. I dragged you into this," Mingyin said. "If only I had known that I'd lose control over my realm, and known that the spirit of my realm would give us a Heavenly Spirit Challenge meant for those who want to take over this domain.""
But don't worry. Once I bypass the Transgressor stage, I will take forty percent of this realm.""The other sixty percent, sadly, cannot be used by me yet.""
Now, let's face the Brethren of the Bull of Heaven."
Po Ming's eyes widened. He tried to say something, but when he heard the thundering sound of lightning shaking the earth, he immediately bolted toward the labyrinth.
Ever since they arrived in this place, the labyrinth had served as the perfect sanctuary for them to survive. The Bull could not enter here. Strangely and mysteriously, however, its artifact could
.[Axe of Ruin]It could enter the labyrinth, destroying everything in its path to slice them to pieces.
There had been instances where Po Ming almost lost a limb, and sadly, once where he almost lost his life.It seemed that the future Mingyin's soul realm was strangely powerful and unheard of.
But certain strange parts were still insulting to him.Why is it that every time the Bull comes, it cannot attack Mingyin?
Who is Loki's Thorn?
And why on earth is there a Brethren of the Bull of Heaven?"I created the Half-Bull of Heaven, and I don't have any form of connection with it!""It seems my life matters now!""
Po Ming, it's here!"Suddenly, the pristine white sky shifted, filled with a raw, killing intent that shook the heavens and the labyrinth alike.A crimson glow flared as two blood-red eyes tore open the sky.The Brethren of the Bull of Heaven came crashing down!Suddenly, behind it, a massive pine axe was hurled downward.
It sliced through the air, crashing violently toward the labyrinth!The future Mingyin snorted.
"I have perfect control over this place, but I cannot use my Soul Core Formation for now. I can only use non-artifact techniques, which limits everything! My true power will only return after I bypass the Transgressor stage!"
The axe launched downward with a booming resonance that vibrated through the air!Both Po Ming and Mingyin were deep inside the labyrinth.
As the future Mingyin flew up into the sky to escape unscathed, dodging the axe, Po Ming rolled desperately across the ground!
Creeeak! CRASH!
The floor shattered beneath them, leaving rumbling debris inside the deep cracks.Po Ming looked at the three-hour timer and cursed under his breath."
Damn you, stars!..."...Mingyin sprinted back, looking out nervously. He could not use any other artifacts.
It seems I really need to bypass the first stage of the Transgressor!
Wait, I've got it. There is still a way to survive. I have two artifacts that match my current rank. The artifacts above my rank are completely unusable right now!"
Let's control hope and despair!"Behind Mingyin, Loki's Thorn roared against the liquid spiderweb while burning in flames.
Suddenly, the entity jumped forward, causing tremors to echo through the tunnel. The flaming spiderweb exploded as it appeared instantly!"
Hahaha, Mingyin! You saw me coming? I could have secretly confused you, approached unnoticed, and stabbed you in the back!""Come, lost wandering soul!"Mingyin stared forward and nodded.Suddenly, he began to focus on his breathing.
At first, it looked like a perfectly normal breath.Loki's Thorn, who could see through the darkness, initially seemed unmoved by what Mingyin was doing.
But then, his eyes widened in sheer shock!Gradually, cold sweat covered his terrified face as he tried to take a step back.But who could have thought it would be too late!Suddenly, a massive mosquito materialized. It had a long, needle-like proboscis on its face, shining glass-like eyes, and hundreds of wings sprouting from its back. It was as massive as a baby whale!
Suddenly, Mingyin's breath turned the air into a massive wave that lunged forward, carrying the giant mosquito with it!
The mosquito spat out a massive glob of toxic liquid poison gas. As it hit the air, it curled around the shockwave, splitting into five distinct parts that reshaped themselves into sharp arrows!
Loki's Thorn suddenly vanished from his spot with unbelievable speed, reappearing right in front of Mingyin!"Too foolish!"Mingyin remained silent.
He spoke to himself before Loki's Thorn could even utter another word.It seems that after the future Mingyin told me everything, I immediately figured out how to use this artifact!
Deep within Mingyin's soul realm lay a vast pool. Floating upon the rippling waters was a massive token with handwritten inscriptions on it:
[Teleport Mosquito]Property:
Can split liquid into five arrows that can switch places at any time. Can detonate the location you previously occupied.Requirement: ]
Must generate the compressed air through your nose
....
Back on the battlefield!
Suddenly, Mingyin poured his soul force energy into the five liquid arrows!
Bam!
He dissolved into thin air as Loki's Thorn's eyes turned serious."Let's see if the law of the jungle lets you survive, Mingyi—""What?!"
Suddenly, an arrow materialized right next to Loki's Thorn!It ignited out of nowhere, bubbles boiling rapidly across its surface.It exploded violently against Loki's Thorn.
The blast instantly blinded his eyes and tore his limbs apart in all directions!Amidst the smoking ruins, only a scattered, mangled body remained. Loki's Thorn had been reduced to bloody pieces.Mingyin sighed to himself
."Ah... ah... if it wasn't for this artifact, I would have been killed. Loki's Thorn definitely possessed a defensive artifact, but it seems he was unprepared and too slow to react!""
Now, where to next—""Huh?"Suddenly, the entire black void began to shake violently. It shrank back into a swirling vortex where a white hall and a black hall mixed together!
Mingyin froze. A massive screen manifested right before reality, covering the ground, the sky, and every direction around him!Mingyin could not believe his eyes. He saw something utterly bizarre
.A massive flame appeared, shaped like a black hole, suspended by an expansive network of countless thread-like rivers. Above it stood an icy mountain. As the mountain fell, it made contact with the flame.
The collision exploded into a weird, cosmic phenomenon!Both ice and flame melted, fusing into one another to shape entirely new creations.Out of the massive chaos emerging everywhere, things began to form.
Within that chaos, mountains, new grasslands, and massive continents appeared.
Strangely, each continent was shaped like a different human body part.Violent, cruel seas rolled with intense waves.
Clouds raged, dumping torrential rain and heavy snow in every imaginable form.
New suns rose, and new civilizations were born.And from that chaos emerged a massive meteorite. Mingyin froze—the meteorite was as colossal as a literal sun!
Mingyin knew the gravity of this because he possessed trillions of regressions. He knew how to calculate distance, mass, and metrics perfectly.
He could gauge the length of a house or, more frighteningly, the scale of the entire universe. But this made him freeze. If a single meteorite was the size of a sun, then this place had to be the largest life-bearing planet in the entire universe!
Mingyin wouldn't lie—it felt as massive as an entire solar system!Then, Mingyin watched day and night cycle in mere seconds.One, two, ten, twenty, sixty-five, one hundred...One hundred andeight!
108 days passed in an instant!The meteorite began to shrink, compressing until it was only the size of a mountain by the time the first second of the 108th day arrived.The entire mountain-sized meteorite began to rumble. A massive crack split across its surface!
The fissure grew larger and larger, emitting a brilliant golden glow that fractured the rest of the meteorite!Suddenly, nine primordial voices echoed through existence:"
Destruction. Beauty. Truth. Control. Despair. Potential. False Enlightenment. Wisdom. False Reality."
And from that crack emerged something completely unfathomable!Mingyin's eyes froze. His body refused to move under the sheer cosmic pressure."
Fa... Father of all existence!"
