Chapter 1946

Black Obsidian Star, vast and boundless.

Xu Jingming piloted that ordinary SSS1-class spaceship.

Beneath Black Obsidian Star's gloomy sky, he flew at one times light speed, unhurried and steady.

By now, more than three hours had passed since he slew the Savage Bone Ruler and broke through the second layer of the True Devil Manual.

In these three hours, he had barreled straight ahead, yet encountered no more decent opportunities.

This Black Obsidian Star was simply too large, its diameter exceeding three light-years.

Even at a Ruler's flight speed,

crossing the entire planet would still take considerable time.

Inside the ship's main control room.

Xu Jingming leaned lazily in his seat, his spiritual sense casually enveloping a radius of several million li.

Suddenly, his sword-like brows sharply arched.

"Hm? That is... a supreme treasure emerging?!"

Far off to the ship's front-left.

A vast energy fluctuation was soaring wildly at an astonishing speed.

That fluctuation was mighty and majestic, like an ancient behemoth that had slumbered for hundreds of millions of years awakening.

Even space millions of li away trembled gently along with it.

"A supreme treasure emerging? Excellent!"

Xu Jingming instantly perked up, excitement appearing on his face; he immediately turned the ship's bow and rushed toward the direction from which the fluctuation came.

Inside the World Ring, Elise had clearly also sensed that fluctuation, yet wore a puzzled expression.

"Blood Abyss, isn't it just a supreme treasure? Why so happy?"

In her view, Xu Jingming already had a pile of peak supreme treasures.

A mere ordinary supreme treasure — was it worth this much excitement?

Xu Jingming already had several peak supreme treasures on him.

A mere ordinary supreme treasure — was it worth getting this worked up?

"The supreme treasure isn't important; what's important is the alien races!"

Xu Jingming laughed heartily.

"Alien races?"

Elise tilted her head, unable to figure it out.

"You'll know in a moment."

Seeing this, Xu Jingming didn't explain further.

He merely smiled and shook his head, then immediately pushed the ship's speed to its limit.

"Hum—!"

The silver-gray ship's surface blazed with light.

Turning into a streak of flowing light, it sped toward the direction where the supreme treasure was emerging.

Black Obsidian Star, deep within a continuous range of black mountains.

Before a half-collapsed ancient palace.

A massive pillar of light, fully several kilometers across, shot into the sky, illuminating a radius of tens of thousands of li into brilliant clarity!

That light pillar was entirely dark gold in color.

Inside, endless runes seemed to flow and collide, emitting a deafening rumble.

And at the very core of the light pillar, a spindle-shaped light shadow could faintly be seen slowly emerging.

That light shadow was only palm-sized, yet exuded a terrifying pressure that made heaven and earth tremble.

Supreme treasure emerging!

This commotion, in Black Obsidian Star, was simply like a bright lamp in the night — impossible not to be discovered.

"Hum—!"

"Whoosh—!"

"Boom—!"

In just a brief moment, one powerful figure after another tore through the sky from all directions.

There were demons covered in dark red scale armor, with spiral twin horns on their heads.

There were yaos with monstrous qi soaring to the heavens, of varied appearances.

And there were mechanical beings constructed entirely of metal, with deep blue pupils like lightning.

Within just a few minutes, seven or eight alien Ruler-level powerhouses had gathered around the light pillar.

These aliens came from different races, and there was no amity among them.

Yet at this moment, none made a move first; each simply occupied a portion of the void.

Staring dead at the supreme treasure slowly taking shape within the light pillar, their eyes full of greed.

There was only one supreme treasure.

But no one present was willing to be the one who sticks their neck out, the first to charge up and become the target of all arrows.

"Hehe, fellow daoists, there's only one supreme treasure, yet we have eight — how should we split it?"

A yao Ruler covered in golden fur, shaped like a giant ape, grinned wide.

He spoke in a deep, muffled voice, but crafty light flickered in his eyes.

"How to split? Naturally, each according to their ability!"

A mechanical sovereign cast entirely of dark silver metal, standing over ten meters tall, spoke coldly, a stream of data flashing through its azure eyes.

"Hmph! Each relying on their own abilities? I see you're just waiting for us to start fighting first?"

A demon sovereign let out a cold snort.

Demonic energy surged around its body, clearly disdainful of the mechanical sovereign's words.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and ready to explode.

But just as this delicate balance was about to be broken.

"Ong——!"

In the distant horizon, a streak of silver-gray light tore through the sky at astonishing speed.

Before that streak of light could even approach.

A vast divine sense, so immense it was suffocating, swept over like a tide, enveloping every foreign sovereign present!

"Who is it?!"

The faces of all eight foreign sovereigns changed in unison.

Such a terrifying divine sense...... the newcomer is certainly no ordinary being!

And when that silver-gray streak of light came to a stop not far from the light pillar.

The hatch opened, and a tall, straight figure stepped out into the void.

All foreign sovereigns present were stunned for a moment.

That figure wore a set of black battle armor, stood tall and straight like a spear, with a stern countenance.

Though only emitting the aura of an Indestructible Sovereign.

Yet those deep, black eyes were like two ancient, unchanging cold abysses, making one dare not meet their gaze directly.

"Heavenly Punishment Sovereign?!"

"It's Xu Jingming! The number one pride of humanity!"

"He actually came to Black Obsidian Star?!"

"Damn it! How could we run into this calamity star here?!"

"..."

All eight foreign sovereigns present showed expressions of wariness.

Although Xu Jingming's currently revealed aura was only that of an Indestructible Sovereign.

Yet not a single one of them dared to underestimate him.

Even those three foreign sovereigns with the most vigorous auras among the Peak Sovereigns.

Upon seeing Xu Jingming's face clearly, they couldn't help but change expression slightly, a flicker of fear flashing in the depths of their eyes.

There was no way around it.

Recently, the Insect Race had broadcast that video across the entire universe.

Xu Jingming, single-handedly facing ten million foes, spearing the Apocalypse Sovereign—his terrifying battle record.

Who doesn't know? Who hasn't heard?

Now, this calamity star has actually appeared alive before their very eyes!

"Damn it! Let's get out of here!"

Two demon sovereigns reacted first.

He cursed lowly, turned without hesitation, and prepared to leave.

Treasures may be good, but life is more important!

Trying to snatch treasures in front of Xu Jingming—isn't that just asking for a longer life?

However, he had flown less than a kilometer.

"Boom——!"

A brilliant burst of golden Lei Guang exploded into existence out of nowhere.

Like a heavenly moat, it lay horizontally before him, completely blocking his retreat!

"Did I say you could leave?"

Xu Jingming looked at them with a blank expression, speaking calmly.

The demon sovereign's body stiffened, he slowly turned around, both shocked and angry:

"Xu Jingming! Don't be so arrogant!"

"We've yielded this treasure to you, yet you still won't let us go?"

The demon sovereign grew angrier as he spoke, his voice involuntarily rising a few notches:

"We here actually have three Peak Sovereigns!"

"Do you really think we have no way to deal with you?"

As his words fell, the remaining foreign sovereigns exchanged glances, each releasing their aura.

They are not stupid either; they naturally sensed Xu Jingming's ill intentions.

If we don't unite, there is only a dead end!
