Chapter 3609

In the Nan Ting 3609 territory, within Xu Jingming's domain, were two major cities: Wanxing City and Qunxing City.

Wanxing City was open, attracting high-dimensional beings from outside. Over countless years, its population had reached tens of billions, mainly consisting of Eternal Realm cultivators, along with a large number of those at the half-step third realm level. In terms of scale, it was nearly half the size of Yu Huo City.

Qunxing City was specifically established by Xu Jingming for the human race, a place where human high-dimensional lifeforms could reside. It primarily housed 'Nascent Realm high-dimensional lifeforms', with significantly fewer Eternal Realm cultivators, and strictly prohibited killing.

"An abyssal epoch has passed," Xu Jingming thought, gazing at the bustling Qunxing City before him. He walked through the city, observing everything, but the other humans couldn't see or sense him at all.

"Initially, I elevated tens of billions of human elites to become 'Nascent Realm high-dimensional lifeforms', providing them with inheritances and resources, and arranging numerous auxiliary cultivation sites. These tens of billions of humans could also learn from each other and verify their progress… But in the end, only about one-twentieth of them reached the Eternal Realm," Xu Jingming mused. "That's a really low proportion."

Those who relied on themselves to cross over from low-dimensional life to high-dimensional lifeforms generally had a success rate of one-tenth for reaching the Eternal Realm! And that was under the premise that most of them lacked resources and inheritances.

"Those who can become high-dimensional lifeforms on their own are all extremely talented. So, with a little nurturing, most can reach the Eternal Realm," Xu Jingming thought. "These humans, although the accumulated elites in human history, are generally less talented…"

"That one-twentieth made it to the Eternal Realm is already thanks to resources and inheritances."

"In one abyssal epoch, only nine humans have reached the half-step third realm," Xu Jingming considered.

Among the human race's hundreds of millions of Eternal Realm cultivators, with the assistance of a third realm existence, only nine reached the half-step third realm.

The Dean, Tower Master, and Island Master all broke through.

However, Chi Meng and Meng Tian were only at the Eternal Peak! They had been unable to break through to the 'half-step third realm'. The other six human half-step third realm experts… were all peerless figures in human history. They lacked resources and conditions in the past, but now their potential had completely erupted.

"Hundreds of millions of Eternal Realm cultivators, nine half-step third realm experts, this is almost the limit of the potential that the human race can unearth." Xu Jingming had also done his best. As he was about to engage in a duel, he naturally did everything he could.

He tried his best to give the human race enough foundation. If he, Xu Jingming, lost the duel and died, then the future of the human race would only rely on themselves.

Although Yu Huo Jun and the others had a good relationship with him, helping to ensure the survival of the human race would be good enough. As for whether the human race would prosper? The third realm wouldn't care so much.

"Hu."

With a step, Xu Jingming had already arrived at the old residence.

Inside, his family members had already gathered, because they had long calculated that… this year would be the last year of the abyssal epoch.

Xu Lixing sat on a stone in the corner of the courtyard, waiting quietly. Suddenly, she sensed something, looked up, and was pleasantly surprised to see Xu Jingming: "Dad."

"Lixing," Xu Jingming said, smiling at his daughter.

Xu Lixing was already at her father's side, reluctantly holding his hand.

Xu Jingming smiled as he looked at his daughter.

Over the long years, as father and daughter, their feelings had long penetrated their souls.

"Judging from your mental will, it seems that your 'Heart Sword Technique' is quite good," Xu Jingming said with a smile.

"It's all thanks to Dad's guidance," Xu Lixing replied.

An abyssal epoch was a long period of one billion years. When Xu Jingming was confused about his cultivation, he would come out to take a walk and guide his family's cultivation paths. Among his family members… only his daughter 'Xu Lixing' was following the path of mental weaponry.

His daughter loved swordsmanship when she was young. After becoming a high-dimensional lifeform, she still liked practicing swords. Under the guidance of Xu Jingming, a third realm expert in the mental weaponry path, she successfully entered the mental weaponry path.

"Jingming is back," Xu's father and mother both came out.

Xu Jingming looked at his parents.

Although he could directly use external force to give his family members Eternal Realm bodies, in order to better hone their minds, Xu Jingming still allowed his family members to cultivate step by step. With the help of a third realm existence, his family members had all cultivated to the Eternal Realm.

Xu's mother followed the path of painting, learning Lou Ye Jun's inheritance.

Xu's father followed the path of physical body cultivation. He loved powerful physical combat the most. Along the path he liked, with various assistance, and his innate high-dimensional lifeform body, he had also reached the Eternal Realm.

"Whether it's Lixing, or Mom and Dad, they all have some talent," Xu Jingming had to admit. "Among my closest relatives, Miaomiao is the only 'Eternal Realm Peak'."

"Jingming," his wife, Li Miaomiao, also came out. The whole family came out.

Miaomiao also held Xu Jingming's hand, full of reluctance.

"Miaomiao, you've actually reached the Eternal Peak," Xu Jingming exclaimed.

"I have the weakest talent," Li Miaomiao said with a smile. "There are many things I don't understand about the path of evolution. I think the 'science path' is the most suitable for me. The science path can clearly analyze various phenomena in high-dimensional space. All I need to do is accumulate more and more knowledge. The more knowledge I have, the deeper my understanding of the science path. Our human race's 'science path' is among the top three schools, with many Eternal Realm scholars working together to study science. That's how I've reached this step today."

Xu Jingming nodded: "The science path is indeed different from other schools."

The science path was about completely analyzing everything, so it was very suitable for group research to overcome problems one by one.

Among the human race's billions of high-dimensional lifeforms, many followed the science path. With the large number of complete science path inheritances provided by Xu Jingming, as well as a large number of science path weapons, the human race had also produced millions of 'Eternal Realm' scholars, with over ten thousand reaching the Eternal Peak! Li Miaomiao was one of them.

"Grandpa, you're back," Xu Jingming saw Xu's grandfather standing in the corner.

"The duel is almost here, so I troubled Zui Weng to send me back," Xu's grandfather said. "By the way, what's the exact date of your duel?"

"Tomorrow," Xu Jingming replied.

"Tomorrow?"

Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Xu's father and mother, and the others were all surprised. They only knew the approximate time, but now they knew that tomorrow was the day of the duel.

"That's too fast," Xu Lixing said, looking at her father.

"An abyssal epoch, a long ten billion years, has passed for a long time. We must face this battle in the end," Xu Jingming said with a smile. The duel of ultimate existences, all he could do was go all out to win a chance of survival. "Let's all go inside quickly and eat something good. I love food the most."

The whole family went into the house together to enjoy the last dinner before the duel.

…

Enjoying food and wine with his family, chatting about the past, Xu Jingming's mood was also extremely relaxed.

Everything that needed to be done had been done!

Now, he only needed to relax his body and mind and prepare for the upcoming battle.

"It's almost time." While eating and chatting, Xu Jingming suddenly sensed something and immediately got up.

"Is it starting?" Li Miaomiao, Xu's father and mother, and the others were all tense. Although they had been prepared, they were still extremely nervous and worried at this moment.

Xu Jingming got up, left the house, and looked up into the distance. A petite figure had already arrived across time and space. It was Great Overlord Fu Ya.

Great Overlord Fu Ya looked at Xu Jingming with a smile.

"Brother Wu Ming."

Figures arrived one after another, it was Yu Huo Jun, Lou Ye Jun, Water Cloud Overlord, and Zui Weng, the four third realm existences who were closer to Xu Jingming in this spacetime.

Third realm existences couldn't kill each other, so they were more capricious when getting along! If they didn't like someone, they wouldn't interact with them for the rest of their lives! But if they liked someone, their relationship would be very close.

"Thank you all for coming to see me off," Xu Jingming said gratefully.

"I believe you will definitely win this time," Yu Huo Jun said. "Last time we sparred, I lost to you. That Chi Jue Traveler will definitely lose to you too."

Xu Jingming had occasionally sparred with friends these years.

"Haha, good, I will definitely win," Xu Jingming said with a smile. Of course, he wanted to win, because winning meant living, and losing meant dying. He, Xu Jingming, hadn't lived enough yet!

Xu Jingming sensed that the time left was getting shorter and shorter, and looked at his family members beside him.

"It's difficult for third realm existences to completely kill each other," Xu Jingming said to his family. "But it is still possible to determine victory or defeat. If the gap between me and Chi Jue Traveler is large, the victory or defeat can be determined in a short time. If the gap is very small… this battle may last for a long time."

"It is normal for a third realm battle to last for tens of millions of years," Lou Ye Jun also said.

Xu Jingming looked at his family and said, "If I lose, the rules of my territory will gradually collapse. If my territory remains intact, it means I am still alive and I haven't lost yet."

Li Miaomiao, Xu Lixing, Xu's father and mother, and the others all nodded.

"You must come back," Li Miaomiao said, looking at Xu Jingming.

"I will."

Xu Jingming smiled slightly.

He also sensed that the other third realm experts in this spacetime were also paying attention to this, including Ke Ye Master and Hai Yu Overlord, who had a very bad relationship with him.

"Let's go." Xu Jingming flew towards Great Overlord Fu Ya.

"Let's go," Great Overlord Fu Ya nodded and was about to leave this spacetime with Xu Jingming.

Xu Jingming suddenly sensed something and looked back. Standing in the corner of his family was Xu's grandfather, and in another place was Zui Weng. Xu Jingming faintly felt that they had some connection: "My grandfather learned the inheritance taught by Zui Weng, so their auras are somewhat related?"

At this moment, Xu Jingming didn't think about it further and just nodded slightly.

Hu!

He and Great Overlord Fu Ya left this spacetime.

Zui Weng and Xu's grandfather both secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Fortunately, I arrived at the last moment. If we had spent more time together, I might have been exposed," Zui Weng thought. "But it's almost here. After this battle, it doesn't matter whether I'm exposed or not."

"I wonder if this battle will be a victory or a defeat?" Zui Weng thought. "Chi Jue Traveler's strength is much stronger than mine. He can be said to be in the strongest rank of the third realm."

…

"Boom."

Xu Jingming and Great Overlord Fu Ya broke through the obstacles of spacetime, heading to the distant battlefield.

"The battlefield is a special spacetime created by the ultimate existence specifically for this duel," Xu Jingming thought. "In this abyssal epoch, I have been wholeheartedly comprehending 'The Hundred Chapters of Heart Calamity Spear'. Strictly speaking, this inheritance has a total of 129 chapters of Heart Refining Spear Technique. I have mastered all 129 chapters and merged them into one. Based on my own expertise, I have also deduced 2 chapters."

"The current 'Hundred Chapters of Heart Calamity Spear' has a total of 131 chapters, which is also the limit of my Heart Spear Technique."

In one abyssal epoch, the 'Hundred Chapters of Heart Calamity Spear' went a step further on its original foundation. This was Xu Jingming's current achievement.

"Now, I have to rely on this spear technique to fight for a chance of survival."

Xu Jingming's eyes became more and more calm.

"We're here. Only you and Chi Jue Traveler are in that spacetime. I wish you victory," Great Overlord Fu Ya said with a smile.

"Thanks," Xu Jingming said, and then he entered that spacetime.

This newly born spacetime was empty and without other living beings. Xu Jingming and Chi Jue Traveler arrived in this spacetime at the same time. When they saw each other, their killing intents were undisguised.

The next chapter is the finale. Tomato will write the finale all at once, and it is estimated that it will be updated in the middle of the night.
