696 Elimination

Asinus and Dome Wishswan, two terrifying Abyssal existences, had seen their fair share of bloody battles and made many enemies. But now, they knew they were in big trouble. “We’re in big trouble. We have to join forces to have a chance of escaping.”

If they selfishly tried to escape alone, they would surely be defeated one by one. However, if they worked together… Not only might they escape, but they could also counter-attack.

Dome Wishswan let out a screech that resounded in the mind, stirring up all kinds of desires from the dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord. At the same time, the cry disrupted spacetime and stirred the flow of time that had originally imprisoned the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon.

Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon immediately reacted. I was hit?

Asinus unleashed its ultimate move in unison to Dome Wishswan’s attack.

Asinus held a black staff in his hand and roared, “Abyss!”

A distorted abyssal phantom appeared above him, and mighty black water poured down from it. The abyssal black water spanned billions of kilometers and attacked the mysterious formation set up by the humans.

“Abyssal Black Water?” The plainly dressed Eternal Tower Master’s eyes turned cold as he recognized the attack. In response, the golden mountain behind him emitted an extremely dazzling white light, illuminating all the areas in the formation.

The vast and surging Abyssal Black Water was no match for the white light’s purification. As the light shone upon the water, it constantly decreased and thinned visibly.

Of the three human Paramounts of the human race, the Eternal Tower Master was the best at restraining the Abyss lineage.

Despite the setback, Asinus didn’t stop attacking. It rode the dwindling Abyssal Black Water and swung the staff in its hand.

This black staff instantly surpassed the obstructions of space and swept through all the areas in the formation, including the dean, Island Lord, and Tower Master.

Whoosh.

The strike’s might was so powerful that it obliterated spacetime, turning it into an energy stream that swept past the dean, Island Lord, and Tower Master. But to their surprise, it missed them entirely, as if they were mere phantoms.

“Where are their true bodies?” Asinus was filled with alarm.

Dome Wishswan couldn’t believe it. “We actually identified the wrong bodies?”

Their all-out attack had missed, and they couldn’t even find the other party’s true body. It was no joke.

What kind of strength did they have?

But Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon was undeterred. “Leave it to me.”

It let out a low roar as it recovered the normal flow of time. Its entire body then turned into black mist, and every swath wrapped around a scarlet eye.

More than a thousand scarlet eyes observed their surroundings, analyzing time, space, and karma.

“They exist in this spacetime, but also not in this spacetime?” More than a thousand eyes spun, and as they observed, they were stunned by what they saw.

“Where are their true bodies?” Asinus and Dome Wishswan asked anxiously via voice transmission.

“I don’t know,” Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon replied.

The dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord stood in three spots, using forbidden weapons to envelop a vast area. They were clearly standing there, but Asinus, Dome Wishswan, and the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon were certain that it wasn’t their true bodies.

…

In the Heart Realm, Xu Jingming watched the battle from afar, suppressing the effects of the corruption.

Gumo can’t even touch the dean and the others’ true bodies in a one-on-three battle. How can the three of you touch them? he thought to himself.

These three forbidden weapons were created by a great scholar from the scientific lineage and had been simplified, repaired, and integrated by the dean, the others, and some outstanding geniuses throughout human history.

The dean and the others had studied them extensively before they could unleash their full might.

After obtaining Monhado and the Eight Directions Map, their power had only grown.

They were confident in their ability to take on the three Abyssal powerhouses, which was why they had targeted the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon in the first place.

******

Asinus and Dome Wishswan panicked when they heard that the Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon couldn’t find the true bodies of their enemies.

“What do you mean you can’t find them?” they exclaimed. The situation was quickly turning south, and they needed a way out.

“I can’t find their true bodies, but I’ve observed this spacetime,” the Thousand-Eyed Spider Sinan sent a voice transmission. “It’s like a maze that’s unpredictable, but it’s not that stable. We can escape. I’ll use all my strength to blast open a path.”

Without hesitation, it gathered more than a thousand eyes, which erupted with dazzling light that gathered into a dazzling pillar of light.

“Attack.”

Asinus and Dome Wishswan knew they had to attack together if they wanted any chance of escaping.

Asinus held the black staff in its furry hands and struck out with all its might, enveloped in an abyssal phantom.

Dome Wishswan let out a high-pitched cry and blasted endless spacetime turbulence in all directions, wrecking the formation’s stability.

The combination of the three forbidden weapons of the human race wasn’t perfect. While it was strong in offense and life-preservation, it was weaker when it came to trapping enemies.

“Kill Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon first,” a voice commanded, and a black pillar of fire descended from the void, striking the thousands of eyes of the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon.

“No—” There was a miserable cry.

The black pillar of fire descended from the void, instantly obliterating more than a thousand eyes.

Asinus and Dome Wishswan were stunned by the scene and found themselves truly terrified.

“The true body of Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon was pulverized and obliterated in one strike? How—how is this possible?” they exclaimed, struggling to comprehend what they had just witnessed.

Eyes opened again in the void, but as they did, black flames burned and entangled them, incinerating them once more.

“No, Asinus, Dome Wishswan, save me. Save me!” The arachnid cried out for help, but every new eye that opened was quickly incinerated.

“This arachnid is dead.”

“There’s no hope.”

Asinus and Dome Wishswan knew that their ally was beyond saving. They took advantage of the tunnel they had created and escaped together, leaving the scene behind them.

…

Meanwhile, deep in the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon’s lair, a scarlet eye slowly opened. Thankfully, I’ve successfully imprinted my life into the Abyss.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Black flames rose from the eye regardless.

Why is this flame still so strong after traversing distant spacetime through karma transmission? The scarlet eye tried its best to resist using the power of the Abyss’s geographical advantage, but it was only an eye after all.

In just a matter of seconds, the scarlet eye was burned into nothingness, and the mark it had left in the abyss was incinerated as well.

The black flames followed karma and incinerated all of the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon’s marks.

I can’t accept this! the arachnid thought indignantly as its consciousness dissipated. It had sacrificed so many high-dimensional lifeforms, only to be killed by unknown opponents.

******

“The Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon is indeed very strong,” the dean remarked, heaving a sigh of relief along with Tower Master and Island Lord. “It branded its life mark in many areas, and the most difficult mark to deal with was the one in the Abyss. It took the three of us a few seconds to burn all its life marks.”

Killing the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon had been their main mission. If they failed, there would be endless trouble in the future.

The black pillar of fire had been their combined attack, and its might had matched that of a half-step third-realm powerhouse.

This move transcended spacetime and could follow karma to entangle every body.

Buzz.

But as they pursued the arachnid, the pursuit on Asinus and Dome Wishswan naturally weakened. The two of them had already rushed out of the formation.

However, the moment they did, they fell into an illusory realm again.

Xu Jingming had been watching the battle the entire time, and when he saw Asinus and Dome Wishswan about to escape, he naturally used an illusory realm to envelop them.

Boom! Boom!

Xu Jingming used the illusory realm to trap the two Abyssal powerhouses, feeling the burden on his consciousness increase with every passing moment. The pressure was too great, and even the corruption he was suffering from reared its head again.

Realizing that he couldn’t hold on any longer, he reluctantly released Dome Wishswan and focused on trapping Asinus instead.

With just one target to focus on, Xu Jingming felt much more relaxed.

These people who are obsessed with the Abyss Sacrifice are too corrupted. Their resistance to the illusory realm isn’t too strong. I can at least trap them for a few seconds. He focused on trapping Asinus and immediately felt the burden on his consciousness decrease.

Whoosh!

Dome Wishswan didn’t hesitate. When it discovered that the illusory realm had dissipated, it flapped its wings and left the universe, fleeing into the distance.

Dome Wishswan was undoubtedly the strongest of the three Abyssal powerhouses when it came to escaping.

It only had to flap its wings a few times before fleeing far away, heaving a sigh of relief only when it was out of danger.

Sinan is dead, it thought to itself, confirming that all the karma of the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon had completely disappeared.

Sinan had sacrificed a large number of high-dimensional lifeforms over the years. It had many means and had been through plenty of peril. It’s easy to defeat it, but not kill it. However, those three unfamiliar powerhouses joined forces and killed Sinan in the blink of an eye. Dome Wishswan was really frightened.

Their means might be comparable to a half-step third-realm powerhouse, Dome Wishswan guessed.

Thankfully… Thankfully, Asinus and I took the opportunity to escape when they joined forces to deal with Sinan, Dome Wishswan thought to itself, reviewing the combat situation. That Eternal from the Heart Realm lineage… probably just reached the Eternal realm not long ago. His illusory realm couldn’t trap Asinus and me for long. Therefore, he chose to let me go and only trap Asinus?

How lucky. If that Eternal realm powerhouse from the Heart Realm lineage had also reached the peak of the Eternal realm, it would’ve been easy for him to trap the two of us for a few seconds with the illusory realm. Thankfully, he’s not strong.

Moreover, he has an old grudge with Asinus, so he chose to trap Asinus.

The thought of it left Dome Wishswan feeling fearful.

With the three of them joining forces, one died in the blink of an eye, and another was trapped. It was lucky to escape.

I have to leave quickly and escape back to the Abyss. With that, it immediately flapped its wings and fled, determined to leave the scene behind it.

…

The moment Asinus rushed out of the formation, it fell into an illusory realm.

It’s an illusory world, Asinus realized as it looked out at the countless living beings around it. There was love and hate in this world, and every living being was so real.

But even as it did, Asinus knew that everything was an illusion.

I clearly realize that it’s an illusion, but I can’t escape.

“Begone! Begone I say!” Asinus burned with anxiety, its mind and consciousness struggling to break free from the illusory realm.

Xu Jingming couldn’t completely fool its mind given its potent strength. At the very least, he could trap its consciousness in the illusion for a brief moment.

“Jingming.” Meanwhile, the dean, Tower Master, and Island Lord had finished off the Abyss Thousand-Eyed Spider Demon.

Xu Jingming appeared to the side, admitting, “My ability is limited; I only managed to hold back one.”
