Chapter 214: Limit Realm

"Fine, Yin Shenli, you've already lost; there's no need to keep fighting."

Yin Shenli's strength is great, that is indisputable, but against the suddenly appearing monk, her power is still insufficient to defeat him.

There is a gap between their strengths, but it's not especially large; moreover, the monk seems not to intend harming Yin Shenli, so he has always been on the defensive under her pressure.

"You motherfucker, what bullshit are you spouting?"

When she heard First Day Wu's voice, Yin Shenli snapped toward him and shouted angrily, "You actually came too? Ha, good timing! Today I'll see for myself the strength of you, the second master of Cloud Light City!!!"

When First Day Wu saw Yin Shenli charging at him, he let out a sigh.

"Sigh, what an idiot."

Time froze at that moment.

As one of the men closest to the pinnacle in this world, First Day Wu's speed in the regular universe has reached 0.93 times the speed of light, and when a strongman reaches this stage, it is the so‑called 'Limit Realm.'

The limit of martial prowess, the limit of strength.

It is the current apex of humanity's transcendental path, the true 'Fuyu.'

Even when looking at the cosmic scale, 0.9c may not seem much, because the universe is simply too vast.

The Milky Way's diameter is about two million light‑years; even at 0.9c, crossing the whole galaxy would still take several million years.

Of course, for a warrior who has attained this realm, millions of years are nothing.

After reaching this realm, their lifespan extends to a staggering length, comparable to that of the stars.

Tens of billions, even up to a hundred billion years.

Looking at the universe from its birth to now, it is only a little over a hundred billion years old. People know where a star's life ends, but honestly, they do not know the lifespan limit of a Limit Realm warrior.

There is also a claim that warriors of this level have almost infinite lifespans and will witness the universe's destruction.

Of course, that's just a theory.

Regarding how long they can live, the strong actually don't care much.

After all, for Earth warriors, lifespan is irrelevant; what matters is the magnitude of their power.

Warriors do not pursue so‑called 'eternal longevity,' nor do they need to use their power to seize any benefit. Their cultivation has always been for a single purpose: 'strength.'

Become stronger, become the strongest.

This path has no end, just like human desire.

"Fool."

Although the two sides' strengths appear to differ by less than 0.1c, Yin Shenli's speed in this state is 0.83c, while First Day Wu is still in a normal state.

In reality, the gap between them is enormous.

So huge that even the three Fuyu‑level strongmen here, acting together against First Day Wu, would be meaningless.

Each sub‑realm of the Fuyu realm is separated from the previous one by an incomparably vast distance, so vast that terms like 'abyss' or 'heavenly trench' seem trivial before it.

Starting from 0.6c up to the maximum 0.9c, each 0.1c increase creates an incomparably huge gap from the previous speed.

Therefore, when facing First Day Wu, Yin Shenli has no chance of winning.

Seeing Yin Shenli frozen in place, First Day Wu leisurely flew over and slapped her on the forehead.

Then he flew to the other two Fuyu practitioners, first stroked his chin and gazed at Qiongji for a while. He was rather curious about these demonic‑path demons.

After all, Wang Wu had previously commissioned him to design a demonic cultivation technique for the demon race, so First Day Wu was naturally curious about a demon using a method he himself had created, which was clearly not a conventional practice.

Nevertheless, curiosity aside, he only gave the opponent two glances, then stopped watching and flew to the monk.

Time here is completely frozen, this slice of cosmic space. It's First Day Wu's ability, the effect of his technique.

As the second master of Cloud Light City, though not the second strongest human, First Day Wu's power is already terrifying.

Additionally, Xie Tianwang is not from Cloud Light City; he cancelled his household registration there twenty years ago, so although this human second master is often seen in Cloud Light City, he does not belong to it.

Without a Cloud Light City registration, he naturally cannot enter its strongman ranking list.

Indeed, the person in Wang Wu's chat group 'Genius Club' labeled '【I am Cloud Light City's First Culinary God】' is Xie Tianwang, the second strongest human in the world, who often opens ride‑hailing services in Cloud Light City.

However, he does not live in Cloud Light City; he resides with several wives in a small village outside the city.

He is the village chief there.

Which wives he has is irrelevant. Anyway, though Xie Tianwang's makeup is rather unique, his charm is astonishing, and many women are enamored with him.

Xie Tianwang clearly wants to come here, but he and Wang Wu are not familiar, nor does he have Wang Wu's gathering signal. Though they share a chat group, they have little contact.

Aside from popping up during red‑packet grabs to shout 'Wang Wu is awesome,' they have no other interactions.

Facing the monk, First Day Wu did not hesitate and delivered a palm strike. This strike differed completely from the one on Yin Shenli, because it was intended to kill the opponent.

But the palm burst out into empty air.

"Hm?" In the frozen space, First Day Wu's form flickered briefly and vanished from the live broadcast room, reappearing hundreds of light‑years away.

"You actually got away?" Though the space ahead was empty, a smile spread across First Day Wu's face.

He fixed his gaze on a point in the void, raised his hand again, and extended a single finger.

"But unfortunately, you can't escape."

When First Day Wu left that slice of cosmic space, time there resumed its flow.

Time around Yin Shenli restarted, but for her, the moment she shouted at First Day Wu, her consciousness had already vanished.

"Go bring your master over."

After opening a portal to Wang Wu's side, First Day Wu first stuck his head in and said to Wang Wu, who was hugging a dragon leg and gnawing fiercely.

"Ah?"

Wang Wu, with a white dragon claw in his mouth, stared at First Day Wu who suddenly appeared in the empty room, and gave a stiff nod.

"Stop gnawing; there will be plenty of time later," First Day Wu said, looking at Wang Wu's constipation‑like expression.

"Alright, okay…"

Wang Wu spat out the original‑flavor dragon claw, awkwardly nodding.

But honestly, is it really awkward?

Anyway, Wang Wu thinks he's very awkward.

First Day Wu's head vanished, but the portal remained. According to him, stepping straight through this portal leads to where his master is.

So, setting aside the unfinished White Dragon Claw, Wang Wu gave a gentle peck at Long Qing's beak and said, "I'll go bring my master back first."

"Hmm…"

Long Qing shyly nodded.

Long Qing and Long He, these two sisters—ah, brother and sister—a white dragon and a blue dragon. Though Long Qing's name contains the character "Qing," she is actually a white dragon.

Long He, on the other hand, is a blue dragon; even though her name lacks the character "Qing," half of a lotus leaf is green, so it fits.

Passing through the portal array First Day Wu opened, the other side was an extremely bizarre cosmic void. Wang Wu had never seen such a place; the whole space seemed as if it were dead.

At Wang Wu's current level, recklessly entering here would actually kill him outright. Calling his post‑entry state "death" is not quite accurate, but given his comprehension, that's the only way he can describe it.

However, First Day Wu left his own power here, and that power is continuously repairing this region, the Heat‑Silence Zone that Yin Shenli had completely annihilated and driven to termination.

The power wielded by the strong is not limited to destruction; it can also bring forth new life.

Even Yin Shenli possesses this ability, but of course restoring a Heat‑Silence Zone she has completely destroyed is impossible; her strength is not yet that great.

But reviving the dead, animating white bones—saying it sounds exaggerated, yet in reality it's not at all.

Even if your body has turned to ash, as long as your soul remains unscattered, the Great Yin‑Yang Rebirth Method of Yin Shenli's sect can easily bring you back from the netherworld.

To be precise, it's not the netherworld, because a person's soul hasn't fully dispersed and still lingers between heaven and earth; it's merely capturing your spirit and recreating a body for you.

The stronger the power, the greater the cost of recreating a body. But rescue is certainly possible; there's no doubt about that.

Moreover, for a strong one who has reached a certain realm, the consumption won't be that high.

Because once one's strength reaches a certain level, even if the flesh is completely destroyed, their power can still persist, continuing to exist in this universe as a mighty spiritual form.

The vitality of the new humanity is extremely tenacious, and as humanity develops the martial path, their resilience has reached an unimaginable level.

"Master, master!"

He plunged headfirst into the portal First Day Wu opened for himself, arriving at the spot where his master was dueling that Qiong Ji. The moment he passed through, Wang Wu saw Qiong Ji drifting silently tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Qiong Ji clearly noticed Wang Wu's arrival but gave no response. The whole demon looked oddly strange now, somewhat dazed and foolish.

Nevertheless, Wang Wu didn't pay attention to him, because compared with this unfamiliar demon that seemed perfectly fine, his own master—also his lover—was certainly more important.

He called out to Yin Shenli twice, but she gave no reply. He hurried over, embraced Yin Shenli, and upon seeing the nine‑layer demon tower on her forehead, Wang Wu instantly understood her current condition.

This was Wang Wu's first time seeing Yin Shenli lose so miserably; despite her usual fearless, "the heavens fear me, the earth fears you" attitude.

But her brazen demeanor has a reason—she truly is strong.

She is so powerful that Assassin Brother quarrels with her online daily yet never dares to accept a duel. As for Master Qin Xiang, he constantly avoids her edge and never confronts her.

Wang Wu originally thought his master was invincible; even if she wasn't in her own world, at least here she was.

But today, Wang Wu finally saw otherwise.

He witnessed a monk who could deftly handle Yin Shenli's frenzied onslaught and repeatedly persuade her, and he saw First Day Wu who could, with a single slap, send Yin Shenli into a high‑quality sleep.

Either way, both were unbeatable by Yin Shenli. Especially First Day Wu—his strength is downright god‑defying.

He can stop time, folks, and that's truly stopping time.

It's just like in some film series—time stop! It's also like the time‑stop skill of the big villain versus the hero in a certain comic!

Of course, it's more akin to the latter, since both are localized time stops.

But what Wang Wu didn't expect wasn't the monk who could still flee after time stopped; rather, the livestream kept playing.

Yes, the phone Yin Shenli uses for livestreaming can ignore the effects of time stop.

Really terrifying, brother, truly terrifying.

Cradling his master, he glanced one last time at Qiong Ji before entering the portal, saw the latter still dazed there, then ignored him and left with his master.

After Wang Wu departed, the portal vanished as well.

Meanwhile, hundreds of light‑years—no, now it's several thousand light‑years—

"Are you safe?"

Yuan Zhen burst out of the void, his usually benevolent face now covered with shock and fear.

Recalling what he had just seen and experienced, he felt his heart pounding as if it would burst out of his throat.

"Then what exactly, what exactly…"

"Who on earth is that deity!!??"

"Could it be a Demon Emperor???"

Jun, Wang, Huang, Di—these are the four great ranks of the demon race in this star system.

And First Day Wu, within the Demon Empire of Wind Country, corresponds to the Demon Emperor realm, the pinnacle of the four great demon realms.

But why? Yuan Zhen didn't understand why a Demon Emperor would exist in such a border region???

Shouldn't they be in the Western Heaven border???

"Aren't you planning to run?"

But at that moment, a voice sounded beside Yuan Zhen, making his hair stand on end.

And the next instant, a huge man appeared before him.

"Hello, monk."

First Day Wu smiled brightly at Yuan Zhen, even waving a friendly hand.

"Still planning to run? I can give you another chance."

"After all, this is the final stretch of your life."
