Open up and break into another world

“Master, are you still unwilling to accept me as a disciple?”

Yun Ning couldn't help but feel a little dejected. However, when he thought that he could learn Xu Ming's spear techniques, most of his dejection vanished.

“Master is willing to teach me spear techniques, which may be a kind of test for me. When I have mastered the spear techniques to perfection, perhaps Master will be willing to accept me as a disciple!”

Thinking of this, Yun Ning became even more focused.

Swish!

A long spear appeared in Xu Ming's hand—this was a very ordinary long spear, not even a divine artifact!

“I will only demonstrate it once, open your eyes wide and watch carefully!”

Xu Ming slowly chopped down with the long spear, like a God of War splitting the heavens and the earth. Although Xu Ming hardly used any power, one could still feel a terrifying power gathering on his long spear.

Xu Ming deliberately slowed down the movements, so Yun Ning could see every detail of this strike with utmost clarity.

“What ingenious power stacking technique!”

“What pure and simple ultimate power!”

Yun Ning watched in shock, completely engrossed, wanting to engrave the artistic conception contained in this strike into his mind.

“《Five Styles of Reincarnation》, first style—Heavenfall!!”

Xu Ming hardly used any power, but a Heaven-collapsing, Earth-splitting aura emanated from the long spear, shaking the space within the world ring!—This strike perfectly interpreted the artistic conception of “crushing” and “collapse”.

“Spear techniques can actually possess such artistic conception!” Yun Ning was shocked, as if he had captured a trace of enlightenment, yet as if he had not understood anything at all.

“Second style—Phantom Image!”

Before Yun Ning could recover from the shock, Xu Ming's spear momentum suddenly changed. The long spear instantly transformed into hundreds and thousands of venomous snakes, leaving behind elusive spear shadows in the void.

These spear shadows were unpredictable, possibly all fake, or possibly all real, making it impossible to figure out!

“Hiss—” Yun Ning gasped, “If I were to face this move, I'm afraid I would have already died before I could even discern the spear shadows, right?”

This style, “Phantom Image”, was completely opposite to the artistic conception of “Heavenfall”; it interpreted the word “fast” to the extreme!

“So a long spear can be this fast…” Yun Ning couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

Xu Ming's long spear was instantly covered with a fierce killing intent. Even though Yun Ning knew that Xu Ming would not have any killing intent towards him, the killing intent on the long spear still made him feel extremely apprehensive—this strike interpreted “killing intent”!

Afterwards, Xu Ming slowed down the movements again, decomposing the composition of the killing intent and presenting it to Yun Ning.

“Fourth style—Millstone!”

This style interpreted the ultimate in “defense”!

Heavenfall! Phantom Image! Lingering Blood! Millstone!

Each respectively interpreted power, speed, killing intent, and defense to the extreme!

Such spear techniques had no shortcomings and were simply perfect!

Yun Ning tried his best to absorb the artistic conception contained in Xu Ming's spear techniques; hoping to not only engrave the execution process of this set of spear techniques in his heart, but also to firmly remember the artistic conception contained in the spear techniques!—After all, Xu Ming said that he would only demonstrate it once!

“But… there are only four styles! Master said it was 《Five Styles of Reincarnation》, so what will the last style be?”

Yun Ning looked forward to it.

“Fifth style—Birth and Death!!”

Xu Ming hadn't used Birth and Death for a long time. Or rather, in the real world, Xu Ming wouldn't easily use the killing move “Birth and Death”, which harmed both the enemy and himself!

“Watch carefully! The power of this last style is too great, even I can't perfectly control it, and I may even be injured by the backlash of this style! Therefore, I cannot slow down the speed to demonstrate this last style 'Birth and Death' to you, I can only use the normal speed!—Look carefully! Firmly remember the artistic conception in this style! As for the specific execution process, you don't need to remember it; because even if you try to remember, you won't be able to!”

“Yes!” Yun Ning widened his eyes and watched carefully, “For this style, I will focus on comprehending the artistic conception!”

Rumble…

On Xu Ming's long spear, the artistic conception of destruction and rich vitality were like a perfect blend; as if all the evil and beauty in the world were condensed at the tip of the spear!

Incomparably gorgeous and colorful, incomparably beautiful!

“Kill!!”

At the moment when the killing intent of this strike erupted, only one thought remained in Yun Ning's mind: “Beautiful!”

Afterwards, Yun Ning directly sat down cross-legged in Xu Ming's world ring, entering a state of sudden enlightenment.

“Oh? Sudden enlightenment?” Xu Ming couldn't help but glance in surprise, nodding in satisfaction, “After watching my 《Five Styles of Reincarnation》, to be able to have some sudden enlightenment; this kid's comprehension is not bad!”

Xu Ming's ancient cultivator clone also sat down cross-legged and began to meditate—the backlash of the “Birth and Death” style still had a great impact on Xu Ming! Xu Ming had to immediately meditate to recover from his injuries.

“I hope this kid can comprehend more!” Xu Ming closed his eyes and thought secretly, “If he comprehends, then he comprehends! If he can't comprehend, I won't teach him a second time!”

After all, Xu Ming had not accepted Yun Ning as a disciple, and to be willing to teach him 《Five Styles of Reincarnation》 once was already the utmost benevolence!

Xu Ming did this also to settle the karma between himself and Yun Ning. After all, just now in the Red Fiery Prefecture Lord's mansion, no matter what, Yun Ning had helped him a little.

…

While Xu Ming, Lü Qing, Yue Xin, and Mo Luo Divine Emperor were sitting together, chatting happily, Hundred Li Divine Emperor bid farewell to the Red Fiery Prefecture Lord and hurriedly left the Red Fiery Prefecture City.

Hundreds of millions of miles away from Red Fiery Prefecture City, in a remote mountain forest.

Hundred Li Divine Emperor and a figure covered in scales were hiding furtively in a cave with an array set up. For some reason, a tiny red light flickered in the depths of both of their eyes.

Within the red light was contained piety and fanaticism.

“It failed!” Hundred Li Divine Emperor sighed, “It was almost successful! But, Yun Ning, the only son of Cloud Overlord, suddenly appeared!”

“Yun Ning? Why did he get involved?” The scaled figure's tone was unkind.

Hundred Li Divine Emperor roughly explained what happened in the Red Fiery Prefecture.

After listening, the scaled figure's already hideous expression became even more terrifying: “So, if we move against the Flame Ember Divine Mountain, we might alarm Cloud Overlord?”

“There is that possibility!” Hundred Li Divine Emperor's expression was serious.

“Hmph! Cloud Overlord, so what?” The scaled figure said disdainfully, “No matter how strong he is, he is only an Overlord, not a Saint! And our mission was entrusted by a Saint, how can we allow it to fail?”

“Then what… what do we do now?” Hundred Li Divine Emperor asked.

The scaled figure's aura was fierce: “Let's prepare and directly attack the Flame Ember Divine Mountain! At that time, we only need Flame Scorching Peak!—If that Flame Ember Divine Emperor knows what's good for him, he can still save his life; if he doesn't, we will directly erase the Flame Ember Divine Mountain from the Divine Domain!”
