Cosmic Professional Gladiator



In the South Pavilion 3609 Dominion, there were two large cities in Xu Jingming's territory. One was Myriad Star City, and the other was Stars City.

Myriad Star City, a bustling metropolis that lured foreign entities from higher dimensions, boasted a population of tens of billions. Its denizens consisted mainly of Eternals and numerous half-step third-realm powerhouses. Though immense, it paled in comparison to Feather Fire City, which loomed twice its size.

Stars City, on the other hand, was meticulously crafted by Xu Jingming as a sanctuary for high-dimensional human lifeforms. Occupied mostly by Firstborn realm inhabitants, this city housed fewer high-dimensional Eternals. A strict decree prohibited violence within its borders.

It's been an Abyssal Era. Xu Jingming surveyed the lively streets of Stars City. His presence hidden from human sight, he strolled through the city, observing every detail.

When I elevated billions of human elites to the realm of Firstborn, I bestowed upon them legacies, resources, and numerous cultivation venues, Xu Jingming ruminated. They were able to engage in sparring and test their insights… Yet, in the end, only around 5% managed to attain the Eternal realm. Such a ratio falls disappointingly short.

Ordinarily, 10% of those who ascended from low-dimensional lifeforms to higher dimensions could reach the Eternal realm. Such achievements often occurred without the aid of abundant resources or legacies.

Those who possess the talent to ascend unaided to higher dimensions are truly exceptional, Xu Jingming pondered. With proper guidance, most of them can achieve the Eternal realm. Although they are the elites throughout human history, their inherent talent remains somewhat lacking…

Having 5% reach the Eternal realm was already thanks to the abundant resources and legacies.

In this Abyssal Era, only nine humans have managed to reach the half-step third realm, Xu Jingming mused.

Among the hundreds of millions of Eternals within the human race, only nine had accomplished such a feat with the assistance of a third-realm being.

The dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord had all broken through. However, Redmond and Meng Tian lingered merely at the pinnacle of the Eternal realm. They failed to surmount the barrier into the half-step third realm.

As for the remaining six individuals who had attained this remarkable level, they were celebrated figures in human history. Hindered by a lack of resources and favorable circumstances in the past, they now possessed the opportunity to fully unleash their latent potential.

Hundreds of millions of Eternals and nine half-step third-realm powerhouses—this signifies the apex of the human race's potential. Xu Jingming had given his utmost dedication, preparing for the impending wager battle.

He strived to lay a strong foundation for the human race. Should he succumb to defeat and perish, the future of humanity would rely solely on their own abilities.

Although Feather Fire Lord and his allies shared a favorable relationship with Xu Jingming, it would be commendable if they could even secure the survival of the human race. The prosperity of humanity was of less concern to the third-realm powerhouses.

Whoosh.

Xu Jingming took a step, transporting himself to his old residence.

His family had gathered there long ago, their intuition guiding them to this conclusion: this year marked the final year of the Abyssal Era.

In a corner of the courtyard, Xu Lixing sat upon a rock, patiently awaiting her father's arrival. A surge of delight surged through her as she sensed his presence and looked up. "Dad."

"Lixing." Xu Jingming beamed at his daughter.

Moving beside her father, Xu Lixing clutched his hand tightly, reluctant to let go.

A smile graced Xu Jingming's lips as he gazed upon his daughter.

After years of being father and daughter, their bond had grown deeply ingrained.

"Your mastery of the Heart Sword Technique is truly remarkable, as evidenced by your mental fortitude," Xu Jingming remarked with pride.

"I owe it all to your guidance, Father," Xu Lixing replied earnestly.

The Abyssal Era was a long billion years. During Xu Jingming's cultivation process, he would often emerge from seclusion to stroll around and provide guidance to his family's path of cultivation. Among his kin, only his daughter, Xu Lixing, had inherited the lineage of psychic weapons.

Ever since her childhood, Xu Lixing had displayed a fondness for swordsmanship. Even as a high-dimensional being, she continued to immerse herself in honing her swordplay. Under the tutelage of Xu Jingming, a third-realm powerhouse of the psychic weapon lineage, she had successfully attained a basic mastery of the psychic weapon legacy.

"Jingming, you've returned!" Mr. and Mrs. Xu emerged from their dwelling.

Over the years, Xu Jingming had engaged in occasional sparring sessions with his friends.

"Haha, indeed. I shall emerge victorious," Xu Jingming responded with a smile. Naturally, he desired triumph, for victory equated to life while defeat spelled certain death. Xu Jingming had not yet lived long enough!

Sensing time slipping away, Xu Jingming turned his gaze toward his family.

"At the third realm, it is exceedingly difficult to completely vanquish one's opponent," Xu Jingming addressed his family. "However, victory and defeat can still be determined. If the disparity between Red Jade Traveler and me is substantial, the outcome will be swiftly decided. But if the margin is narrow… this battle may endure for a considerable time."

"It is not uncommon for third-realm battles to span tens of millions of years," Lord Louye chimed in.

Xu Jingming locked eyes with his family and continued, "If I lose, the laws of my territory will gradually dissipate. If my territory remains intact, it signifies that I am still alive and that I haven't been defeated."

Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Mr. and Mrs. Xu nodded in unison.

"You must return," Li Miaomiao implored, her gaze fixed on Xu Jingming.

"I shall."

Xu Jingming smiled.

Xu Jingming also detected the attention of the other third-realm powerhouses in this spacetime, including Master of Antinight and Overlord Sea Rain—both of whom shared a strained relationship with him.

"Let's go," Xu Jingming said as he soared towards Feuilla.

"Let us embark," Feuilla acknowledged, preparing to depart alongside Xu Jingming.

A sudden sensation jolted Xu Jingming, prompting him to glance back. Grandpa Xu stood in a corner of the family gathering, accompanied by Connoisseur.

Xu Jingming sensed a vague connection between them. Could it be that my grandfather has studied Connoisseur's legacy, which results in their auras appearing intertwined?

At this moment, Xu Jingming refrained from dwelling on it and simply offered a slight nod.

Whoosh!

He and Feuilla departed from this spacetime.

Connoisseur and Grandpa Xu breathed a sigh of relief upon witnessing their departure.

Thank goodness I arrived at the final moment. If I had lingered any longer, I might have been exposed, Connoisseur ruminated. However, it won't be much longer now. After this battle, whether I am revealed or not makes little difference.

I wonder if he will emerge victorious or suffer defeat in this battle, Connoisseur pondered. Red Jade Traveler surpasses me by far and can be deemed one of the mightiest third-realm powerhouses.

…

Boom!

Xu Jingming and Overlord Feuilla shattered the spatial barriers, propelling themselves toward the distant battlefield.

This battlefield is a unique spacetime specially crafted by the Ultimate existences for this wager, Xu Jingming contemplated. Throughout the Abyssal Era, I have devoted my attention to studying the 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls. Strictly speaking, this legacy consists of 129 volumes of Mental Tempering Spear Techniques. I have mastered all 129 and amalgamated them into one. Based on my own strengths, I have even deduced two additional volumes.

The 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls encompass a total of 131 volumes. This marks the limit of my psychic spearmanship.

In the Abyssal Era, Xu Jingming's 100 Heart Tribulation Spear Scrolls had undergone significant improvements from its original foundation. This represented Xu Jingming's present accomplishment.

I must rely on this formidable spearmanship to fight until the bitter end.

Xu Jingming's gaze grew even more resolute.

"We are nearly there. Only you and Red Jade Traveler will be inside that spacetime. I hope you emerge victorious," Feuilla remarked with a smile.

"Thank you." With those words, Xu Jingming entered the spacetime.

This freshly forged spacetime appeared desolate, devoid of any other living beings. Xu Jingming and Red Jade Traveler arrived simultaneously, locking eyes without concealing their murderous intent.
