Forget it, I'll settle the score with Big Eyeball later; for now… let's deal with those so-called 'powerhouses' outside who can't wait to die.
Lin Bei drew a deep breath, dusted himself off, and rose slowly.
His gaze swept the crowd gathering at the outer edge of the Abyss Sea.
One hundred people in total.
Every one of them had over ten billion Combat Power.
An unknown Barrier shrouded them, letting them unleash roughly half their strength despite the world rules.
"Heh, they've gathered quite a crowd lately."
"I have to say, the big shots behind those factions really think highly of me—sending more than a hundred people whose power tops ten billion."
"But… they miscalculated. These people… aren't even worth a glance."
By now he had grasped the Hunyuan Breathing Technique. Barely "beginner" level, yet when activated it still multiplied his vitality and Spirit tenfold.
If he advanced another step to the "adept" level, the boost would rise to a hundredfold!
The Hunyuan Breathing Technique has nine stages: Beginner, Adept, Minor Achievement, Familiar, Masterful, Pinnacle, Transcendent, Return to Simplicity, and Heaven-Man Unity.
Each stage increases the stat multiplier by a factor of ten.
In other words, if he reached the final "Heaven-Man Unity," every burst of power would be amplified by one billion times!
Such a ridiculous boost is absurdity incarnate—so absurd it's absurd.
Lin Bei smiled faintly and glanced at his Attribute Panel.
[Vitality: 42 trillion]
[Spirit: 40 trillion]
[Combat Power: 41 trillion (Epic Five-Star)]
[Hunyuan Breathing Technique: Beginner (ten-fold stat boost)]
With his stats exploding, he could steamroll Legendary Level beings even without self-comprehended Rule Power.
Activating the Hunyuan Breathing Technique would push his Combat Power past a hundred trillion in an instant.
The vultures outside? He could wipe out swaths with a single breath.
"Beiming looks ready to come out!"
At the Abyss Sea's edge the crowd kept watching the Teleportation Array.
They'd spotted him days earlier, but no matter what they tried they couldn't break through space to enter the array.
So they could only wait with wide eyes.
Yet that wait stretched on for days.
The delay infuriated the arriving experts.
In mere days they swept every Beiming shop and force inside the Thirty-Six Main Cities.
In the end they hauled in massive resources, each one delighted.
Beiming's businesses were simply too fat with wealth.
One raid yielded more than all the other city powers combined could gather in years.
This time the Major Powers made a fortune; with these supplies most of their logistics were done.
All that remained were the world fragments.
They hadn't found those in any of Beiming's enterprises.
Which meant the fragments were still on Beiming himself.
Kill Beiming and they could claim the fragments to finish their mission.
"Hmph, perfect timing—when he steps out I'll crush him."
A bald man snorted coldly, gloom flashing in his eyes.
His name was Bo Langgu, serving the Order Faction as the temporary field commander. His Combat Power topped one trillion, strongest here, and he was on the verge of comprehending Rule Power; once he succeeded he would step into the Legendary Realm.
His superiors had promised: finish this mission and he'd receive a Rank Fragment matching his element, letting him take that final stride to the pinnacle of life!
Originally he'd thought the job would take a snap of his fingers.
Who could have guessed he'd be stuck waiting for days?
Resentment had long since festered in him.
He'd also heard the target carried not just world fragments but the higher-grade world origin fragments!
If he could hand those in…
His future cultivation would be smooth sailing.
He might even become a glorious and mighty Cleric!
To him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
He had to succeed—no matter what.
He would pay any price.
Even… wiping out everyone present.
This time he'd brought a terrifying forbidden item that could briefly ignore the Underworld's rules and curse-kill any being with Spiritual Power below five hundred billion.
Its area of effect was vast.
Enough to wipe out everyone nearby.
Then no news of his acquisition of the world origin fragments would leak.
He'd spent nearly half his fortune to obtain that top-tier Epic Level curse scroll!
For… this very moment!
Victory was within reach!
The instant the kid left the Teleportation Array he would strike!
The surrounding crowd were equally excited.
To them Beiming was a fat sheep; one bite and their mouths would drip with oil!
Every eye was glued to the Teleportation Array.
Seeing this, Lin Bei's lips curled in a cold smile.
A frigid killing intent flashed in his eyes.
Moments earlier he'd checked his private messages and learned that while he'd been away these people had ransacked every shop and seized every base of his faction.
Fortunately Zhang San and Ye Liangchen had been prepared; when it happened they ordered all members to Teleport back to the Survival World, avoiding major casualties.
Even so, the losses were heavy.
A blood feud had been forged.
Now Lin Bei was determined to uproot every faction that had moved against him—no survivors.
He'd originally wanted peace and profit.
But when people start crapping on your head, if you don't show them what real pain is, they'll never learn why the flowers bloom so red.
"From now on… the King-Level Dungeon World takes my family name."
With a cold laugh Lin Bei activated Super Luck, then stepped out and appeared in the sky above the Abyss Sea's edge.
The next second he punched out, and Annihilation Force cascaded over the land.
In an instant the world fell silent.
At the same time, Lin Bei's stats skyrocketed again!
