Two options lay before Shi Ming.
Option A: Stop here. Quit while he was ahead.
Option B: Go all in. He would either fail spectacularly or soar to the heavens.
...
Shi Ming was neither timid nor arrogant. He had a clear understanding of his own strength, and he had a rough—if not entirely accurate—estimate of the power of the Active Wormhole before him.
This "Active Wormhole," a great terror in Ah Jian's eyes, already had one foot in the Nirvana Rank. It had effortlessly corroded the Creation Celestial Pillar, rendering the Pillar and its Life Holy Hall Origin completely defenseless. The Pillar had fallen swiftly, never even discovering the reason for its demise. After devouring the Creation Celestial Pillar's power, the creature had then killed another Holy Hall-level Sea Beast, the Candle Mirage, with lightning speed. Now, it was hiding here, happily feasting on its prize!
Its strength could be described as the absolute peak of the Holy Hall rank.
