A Girl Fell from the Sky

The Ice Crystal Giant let out a roar, and a sonic shockwave swept out, sending rocks and dust flying.

It swung its left arm in a wide sweep. Xu Tianming raised the Golden Dragon Spear to block it, but the force still sent him flying. He tumbled through the air, then slid more than ten meters after landing, leaving two trenches behind him.

At the same time, the other Rift Realm Creations closed in. A glint of gold flashed through Xu Tianming's eyes as he stopped holding back. Dragon roars echoed out, and a phantom golden dragon danced around him.

Three golden Soul Rings appeared around Xu Tianming.

"Three rings? He's only a Soul Elder?"

Seeing this, Wang Dong'er widened her eyes, then asked in confusion, "Golden Soul Rings? Do Soul Rings even come in that color?"

"First Soul Skill, Might of Extremity."

Xu Tianming gave a low shout and drove his fist into the ground beneath his feet. Amid a deafening explosion, a shockwave swept out and blasted away every Rift Realm Creation that had approached. Wherever the shockwave passed, the ground was torn up layer by layer, and dust filled the air.

With a bang, his body shot high into the air, bursting through the dust cloud and appearing in midair.

"Watch out!"

Wang Dong'er, who had been watching Xu Tianming all along, suddenly shouted a warning. In the distance, several crystal-encased figures raised their bows and fired several long crystal arrows.

The arrows tore through the air with piercing whistles as they shot straight at Xu Tianming.

"Second Soul Skill, weapon immunity."

Xu Tianming snorted coldly. His second Soul Ring flashed, and golden light flowed across his skin. The next instant, the arrows struck him, yet they could not even pierce his skin before being deflected by the golden light.

This was his second Soul Skill, weapon immunity. It reflected all weapon damage and reduced physical and energy damage by ninety percent.

As long as he still had Soul Power, his defense was invincible.

Even attacks from a Titled Douluo could be reduced by ninety percent. Of course, that was only if he had enough Soul Power; once it was exhausted, weapon immunity would lose its effect.

But at least among those of the same level, no one could break through his defenses.

The next moment, he stepped on empty air, detonating a ring of white light beneath his foot as he charged toward the Ice Crystal Giant.

The Ice Crystal Giant roared and pressed both hands against the ground. Frigid air spread in all directions, instantly freezing the earth. Then it heaved up a massive slab of ice and hurled it straight at Xu Tianming.

A shadow enveloped Xu Tianming's head as ice the size of a small mountain crashed toward him. His pupils contracted, and his first Soul Ring lit up. Tiny points appeared across the ice.

He raised the Golden Dragon Spear and thrust it forward, striking one of those points precisely. The next instant, the ice shattered with a crash and swept past him. Using a fragment of the broken ice as a foothold, he kicked off and closed in on the Ice Crystal Giant once more.

"So strong... Is he really just a Soul Elder?"

Wang Dong'er watched the scene, completely ignoring the Rift Realm Creations attacking around her. Her gaze remained fixed on Xu Tianming's figure.

At that moment, a thought suddenly arose in her heart. Training seriously might not be such a bad thing. If she had trained diligently, perhaps she could be fighting alongside that guy right now, looking cool together.

Boom.

Xu Tianming, now close to the Ice Crystal Giant, brought his spear crashing down. The Ice Crystal Giant raised both arms to block, but the shockwave and shards of shattered ice sent it falling backward. It crushed a large number of Rift Realm Creations beneath it as the earth trembled and dust rose everywhere.

Roar.

What followed the roar was a beam of extreme cold that instantly struck Xu Tianming. Yet under weapon immunity's effect, it only left faint traces of frost on his body.

"Die."

Xu Tianming snorted and raised the Golden Dragon Spear high. Golden Soul Power took the shape of a dragon around its tip, and then he hurled the spear down with all his might.

Accompanied by a dragon's roar, a golden divine dragon plunged down from the sky and smashed into the ground with a bellow, sending a dust-filled shockwave sweeping across several hundred meters.

When the dust cleared, Wang Dong'er saw Xu Tianming standing proudly atop the Ice Crystal Giant's corpse. His black cloak snapped in the wind, and the Golden Dragon Spear was embedded in the giant's heart.

That sight was deeply etched into Wang Dong'er's eyes, leaving her unable to forget it for a long time.

"So cool."

She could not help murmuring.

With the Rift Realm Lord's death, the Rift Realm began to collapse. The sky shattered, revealing the scenery beyond, while the other Rift Realm Creations also crumbled into specks of light and vanished.

"Young Mistress, the Rift Realm is collapsing. We need to leave now."

The Clear Sky Sect disciple holding a weapon looked at Wang Dong'er and spoke in a grave voice.

"Okay."

Wang Dong'er nodded. She knew that if they failed to leave before the Rift Realm collapsed, they might be randomly sent into another Rift Realm. If their luck was bad and they fell into a Large Rift Realm, they would not even know how they died.

"Hey, Aether, it's time to go."

Still, she turned back and called out to Xu Tianming.

Xu Tianming pulled out the Golden Dragon Spear. His figure flashed as he sprinted toward an already-split fissure, which was also an exit.

Seeing that Xu Tianming had found an exit, Wang Dong'er sighed in relief and followed the Clear Sky Sect disciples toward the nearest exit.

Just as Xu Tianming was about to leave the Rift Realm, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a figure fell from it.

"What the hell?"

Xu Tianming jumped in fright and instinctively dodged aside. Then, with a bang, the figure smashed into the ground in front of him.

Only then did he see clearly that the thing which had suddenly fallen was a person—a very beautiful black-haired girl. But her face was pale, blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and she looked as though she did not have long to live.

"Damn, is this the legendary girl falling from the sky? Lucky you."

Xu Tianming did not need to think to guess that this girl had likely fallen here from another Rift Realm.

But this place was about to collapse too. If he left her alone, she would be randomly transported into the next Rift Realm, and there was no telling whether she would encounter any living people there.

Besides, judging from her severe injuries and the purple patterns on her neck and cheeks, she had clearly been heavily eroded by Rift Realm energy. Before long, she would become a Rift Realm Creation.

Saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. Xu Tianming was not the sort to watch someone die without helping, especially not a pretty girl. He immediately slung her over his shoulder and ran out of the Rift Realm.

Back in the real world, the trees and rocky peaks of the Cloudbreak Mountain Range filled his view. Above was a bright blue sky dotted with white clouds, no longer that oppressive purple.

He looked around but did not see Wang Dong'er or the others. They had clearly emerged in different places. The Small Rift Realm covered several kilometers, and they had not used the same exit.

"Better this way. Less trouble."

Xu Tianming adjusted his hold, carrying the black-haired girl in his arms like a princess, and shook his head.

The Clear Sky Sect disciples were obviously wary of him, and he could not be bothered dealing with those people.
