I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

"Accumulation and refinement may not be as effective as the sharpness in one's heart."

Wu Ming shook his head and spoke to the old man in the straw raincoat.

He had said the same words hundreds of years ago when he was still a Seven Refinement Grandmaster and first entered the Shattered Realm, but now, when he said them again, they had a completely different flavor.

Upon hearing this, the old man in the straw raincoat was slightly taken aback, and a complex look appeared in his eyes. But in the end, he sighed and said, "Indeed, with your abilities, if you don't even dare to venture into this abyss of purgatory, how can you talk about proving the Dao?"

That's all.

He stopped trying to dissuade him and immediately manipulated the array within the hall to open a void passage leading to the abyss of purgatory.

Thank you.

Wu Ming thanked the old man in the straw raincoat, then stepped into the passage and disappeared into the void vortex.

……

"Is this the Abyss of Purgatory?"

Wu Ming stepped out of the void passage, looked up at the sky and earth, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

I see,

What appeared before their eyes was a land as red as blood. Whether it was mountains or soil, everything was scarlet, as if it had been soaked in blood. The whole world was filled with a thick and endless killing intent.

This place resembles an ancient battlefield, where countless lives have fought and bled, ultimately resulting in this scene.

If someone were to step into this place for the first time, even a Dao Saint or Martial Saint would be shocked by the scene of slaughter. But for Wu Ming, his heart was at peace, because this sense of déjà vu was all too familiar to him.

The Demon-Slaying Realm!
This place felt almost exactly the same as the Demon Subduing Realm to him!
"Rumors say this place is related to the last emperor of ancient times, the Black Emperor. Now it seems that the rumors are mostly true..."

Wu Ming murmured to himself.

He inherited the Black Emperor's legacy and obtained the supreme treasure, the Demon-Subduing Diagram, which was left behind by the Black Emperor. His understanding of the Black Emperor in this world was far beyond that of ordinary people, and the feeling he had of the Abyss of Purgatory was indeed very similar to that of the Demon-Subduing Diagram.

Just by stepping into this place, he could tell that even if it wasn't created by the Black Emperor, it must be closely related to him.

but,

The Demon-Subduing Diagram did not undergo any changes after he entered this realm.

Wu Ming didn't think about it too much. Before he truly overcame his tribulation and proved immortality, thinking about the Black Emperor was not very meaningful. Now, he had only one purpose in coming here, which was to kill!
"Let's begin."

He slowly raised his head and looked into the distance.

All life that enters this place comes only to fight, only to kill. Wu Ming is no exception. Here, there is no good or evil, only killing and being killed, only a desperate struggle for the immortal path.

For this reason, almost all the Dao Saints and Martial Saints who enter this place try their best to conceal their aura, hide carefully, and ambush or even kill other lives in various ways, just like a dark forest.

but,
On this very day,
A beam of light pierced through the darkness of the forest.

Or rather, it was an aura, an aura soaring into the sky, unrestrained and flamboyant, making no attempt to conceal itself, erupting openly and proudly in the abyss of purgatory, announcing its arrival to all living beings here.

boom!!!
Wu Ming was bathed in the raging lightning, his whole body floating in the air as if he were sitting on a thunderous throne, his deep gaze sweeping over the distant, blood-red earth.

His eyes held no emotion, only a single spark of bloodlust remained!
"bring it on."

Wu Ming didn't care how many living beings were in the Abyss of Purgatory, nor how many Dao Saints and Martial Saints were nearing the end of their lifespans and had come here to fight for a sliver of survival. At this moment, he only wanted to immerse himself in the slaughter and feel the essence of killing!

That was the very moment Wu Ming unleashed his aura. In the abyss of purgatory,
From countless dark corners, gazes simultaneously rose and looked in the direction where Wu Ming was.

"who is it?"

Some people were astonished.

"Is he unaware of the situation in the Abyss of Purgatory by being so flamboyant?"

"Even a peak Dao Saint who dares to recklessly unleash his aura like this will likely perish here within a few days."

Some people shook their heads, their eyes cold.

A person who dares to come to the Abyss of Purgatory and act so arrogantly, and whose aura is extremely powerful, is certainly not a fool. Therefore, this newcomer is extremely confident in his strength and is actively seeking a battle!
Some people watched coldly, while others had thoughts swirling in their minds and quietly moved closer to Wu Ming.

Above the sky.

Wu Ming made no move; he simply released his aura freely and then stood quietly in the sky, waiting there.

He had no interest in searching for those Dao Saints and Martial Saints who had entered this realm one by one, seeking slaughter. Rather, he preferred to actively reveal his own aura and attract as many creatures from this realm as possible.

Time passed little by little.

The earth remained crimson as blood, and dark clouds filled the sky, creating a chilling atmosphere.

Wu Ming floated there quietly for an unknown amount of time before slowly opening his eyes and looking around. He said, "So many people have come, yet not one dares to make a move against me?"

The words fell.

The surroundings remained completely silent.

However, under Wu Ming's perception, which was even more powerful than that of an Eight Tribulation Dao Saint, at least a dozen Dao Saints and Martial Saints had arrived within a hundred miles of him, but none of them had yet taken the initiative to attack him.

The fact that Wu Ming dared to spread his aura so recklessly, and that he possessed profound primordial spirit and soul power, meant that his strength was by no means ordinary. Therefore, although many people had already arrived nearby, most of them were still observing and hoping that others would make the first move to test Wu Ming's strength.

but,

As time went on, some people finally couldn't hold back any longer.

After all, most of those who come to this abyss of purgatory are people whose lifespans are nearing their end. They are already on the countdown to death and have come here to fight for a chance to live. They have long abandoned any way out. Coming here means either life or death, and they have long since lost all fear.

"In this abyss of purgatory, you dare to be so flamboyant; you truly have great courage."

"Take this sword!"

A powerful voice rang out.

A dazzling sword light shot into the sky, brilliant and eye-catching. This sword did not contain the aura of killing, but rather the scorching heat of the sun. With just one thrust, it caused the dark clouds in the sky to ripple.

"It's the Blazing Sun Sword Saint!"

Someone recognized the person who made the move.

The Blazing Sun Sword Saint is a renowned figure in the outside world. He is an ancient martial saint who has lived for nearly eight thousand years and whose strength has reached the peak of the seventh tribulation. It is said that when the Blazing Sun Sword Technique is unleashed, even an eighth tribulation martial saint has to retreat and cannot directly confront its edge!

That astonishing sword light was indeed unparalleled in the world. Its terrifying power even moved some Eight Tribulation Realm experts who arrived nearby. Even if they faced this sword head-on, it would not be easy for them to withstand it. (End of this chapter)
