Chapter 217: None Shall Remain

“How could this happen? Nightmare tier?”

“Finished!”

“Right after being captured by the Hall of Time and Space, I encountered a Nightmare-tier mission? This… this… are they just messing with me?” The novice blade demon was especially frustrated and upset. He hadn’t even had the chance to display his strength properly from start to finish before the mission difficulty escalated to Nightmare tier.

Everyone knew that the highest difficulty for missions directly issued by the Hall of Time and Space was Hell tier, which always left a sliver of hope. Only during actual execution, when unexpected factors arose, would the mission difficulty rise to Nightmare tier!

“Nightmare tier, actually Nightmare tier!” The red-robed woman’s heart chilled as she watched the handsome young man’s skull pierced through at a distance. Without hesitation, a red token appeared in her hand, and her soul force directly drilled into the time-space mark on her arm. “Abandon! I abandon the mission! Return immediately! Return immediately!”

Buzz!

A mysterious and mighty temporal fluctuation descended, enveloping the red-robed woman.

“Hmm?”

A young man in black robes emerged from the nearby void—it was Dongbo Xueying, frowning as he looked at the red-robed woman now surrounded by temporal waves.

“Dongbo Xueying, I will remember you! I hope we meet again in the Divine World!” The red-robed woman moved her lips, but her voice couldn’t escape. Her eyes held a trace of unwillingness. The value of the red token was terrifying. It was a divine artifact gifted by her teacher in the Divine World, exchanged within the Hall of Time and Space for this red token as a life-saving measure. As long as she hadn’t become a demigod yet, this red token could allow her to abandon any mission midway and immediately leave!

This was essentially a life.

Although abandoning the mission meant failure, the cost of failure was bearable.

But if she were killed… that would be horrifying. Her soul would be dragged by the Hall of Time and Space into Hell, and she would have to undergo three consecutive Hell-tier missions!

This red token—only she possessed it among the entire team. Even among Saint-tier extraordinary reincarnators, obtaining such a red token was extremely rare.

…

“Fascinating.” Dongbo Xueying emerged from the Void Realm into the real world, observing the scene before him.

This mysterious and mighty temporal force made Dongbo Xueying’s heart tremble.

The space-time itself was vibrating. If desired, this force could probably destroy the entire Xia Clan’s world!

It was too powerful.

According to records, the great being behind the Hall of Time and Space was one of the true peak existences standing above myriad worlds, divine realms, and abysses! To operate the Hall of Time and Space, he had paid an incalculable price to forge an incomprehensibly terrifying divine artifact. This divine artifact had its own spirit, following the commands given by its master—either capturing lives from countless worlds to become reincarnators, assigning them missions, tempering them, selecting them, providing resources, etc., continuously cultivating powerful beings for the Hall of Time and Space.

“I’ve long heard that members of the Hall of Time and Space travel across myriad worlds. But this is the first time I’ve seen temporal energy whisk them away.” Dongbo Xueying smiled as he watched.

Whoosh.

The red-robed woman in front of him was wrapped up and instantly traversed out of the mortal world.

Dongbo Xueying didn’t attempt to attack. The gap was too vast. Perhaps only some great powers in the Divine World could resist such a terrifying divine artifact. But as an extraordinary being himself? The gap was just too great!

“Puh!”

Dongbo Xueying walked forward, then vanished again, entering the Void Realm.

While traversing the Void Realm, he casually pointed a finger.

A flame-like extraordinary battle aura flew out, reaching the novice blade demon’s side, before leaving the Void Realm and appearing in the real world. It materialized beside the novice blade demon, and the faint extraordinary battle aura imbued with the ‘Ultimate Penetration’ essence instantly pierced through the novice’s skull. However, as his skull was pierced, his body was affected by the Ultimate Penetration essence, starting to disintegrate.

But soon, his body, like flowing lightning, recovered again.

“Immortality?” Dongbo Xueying was somewhat surprised. “A human Saint-tier extraordinary has achieved immortality?”

Shoosh, shoosh, shoosh…

Dongbo Xueying, merely surprised for a moment, then casually launched a series of extraordinary battle auras, attacking the succubus girl, the metallic race man, the novice blade demon, demon Kilro, and other demons.

The novice blade demon was human, the black metallic man was a metallic race lifeform! The rest were all demons!

“Mercy, mercy!” The black metallic man had already been terrified witless by the Nightmare-tier mission. His soul screamed, “I dare not oppose the great one anymore! Mercy!”

“Master Dongbo Xueying, mercy, mercy! I was forced by the mission!” The succubus girl repeatedly tried to reconstitute her body while her soul pleaded pitifully, “Just spare my life, and I will do anything you ask! As a succubus, I know best how to serve. I am willing to be your servant forever!”

Once the mission deadline arrived, they would all be forcibly taken away.

So they would say anything to survive!

They didn’t want to die. Once dead, they would have to undergo three consecutive Hell-tier missions, all of which must succeed. Failure even once meant soul destruction.

“Shoosh, shoosh, shoosh!!!” A series of extraordinary battle auras attacked in all directions as Dongbo Xueying coldly watched everything unfold.

Mercy?

Demons slaughtered mortals wantonly—who came to show them mercy?

These reincarnators of the Hall of Time and Space unhesitatingly attacked him—so who would show him mercy?

Those who dared to attack him must bear the consequences!

“Ultimate Penetration…” Dongbo Xueying marveled as he unleashed it. “Its attack is too strong! If I used my Star Essence to attack, I might have to kill them thousands or even ten thousand times to exhaust them.”

The Star Essence had immense power, great force, and crushed opponents head-on, but it couldn’t destroy them at the most fundamental ‘particle level.’

Destruction at the particle level made it extremely difficult for immortality to recover. If continuously destroyed several times, their life force would be completely exhausted.

“Human! Face me directly! Do you dare to fight me head-on!” The struggling Kilro tried to reconstitute his body while roaring with his soul, but unfortunately, Dongbo Xueying couldn’t be bothered to waste time with him.

Finally.

One by one, the demons completely turned into nothingness, including the succubus girl, the metallic race man, and the novice blade demon—all their bodies entirely turned into nothingness.

All perished.

Dongbo Xueying looked around the emptiness, watching the numerous items falling from the sky—these were the items left behind by the demons and reincarnators after their deaths. Some fragile ones had already shattered into extraordinary materials under the Ultimate Penetration essence.

“It’s over.” Standing within the Void Realm, Dongbo Xueying watched everything, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief.

This attack on the demon nest had ended. Although there were still two demon nests left to attack, the demon generals were probably already aware and had likely retreated!

Buzz~~~

Temporal fluctuations wrapped around the souls of the succubus girl and the other two, instantly sending them to the distant Hell of the Abyss to undergo the cruel Hell-tier missions.

Then, a wave reached Dongbo Xueying’s presence.

“Extraordinary Dongbo Xueying of the Xia Clan, the Hall of Time and Space invites you to join. Will you accept?” The wave emitted a deep, mighty voice, aloof and indifferent.
