Open up and break into another world

Amidst the shocked and adoring gazes of the crowd, Xu Ming walked out of the arena and returned to the Muxi Pavilion's encampment.

“Xu Ming!” The Third Young Master, Mu Zifan, quickly rose to greet him. “Sit! Please, have a seat!”

It was no wonder that Mu Zifan was acting so solicitously! Xu Ming was, after all, the number one genius of the Heavenly Sacrifice Realm; moreover, because of Xu Ming's performance in the Slaughter Sacrifice, Mu Zifan's status and position had also risen accordingly!

Just now, Mu Zifan had even received a voice transmission from his father, the Pavilion Master of Muxi Pavilion, who had praised him handsomely!

“Uh…” Seeing that Mu Zifan, this Emperor-level powerhouse, was being so attentive to him, Xu Ming really felt a little unaccustomed!

However, attentiveness was attentiveness; the "employment fee" still had to be settled clearly!

“Third Young Master!” Xu Ming said via voice transmission as he sat down, “You said before that the better I perform in the Heavenly Sacrifice Battle, the higher the commission would be! So, how is my performance now?”

“Uh…” Mu Zifan was speechless; of course, he could tell that Xu Ming was negotiating the price with him. “Your performance is unprecedented! I can give you ten bottles of Heaven and Earth Essence Liquid as a commission right now!”

The commission that Mu Zifan had offered through the mercenary system was: one hundred bottles of Divine Marrow.

And one bottle of Heaven and Earth Essence Liquid was worth as much as ten thousand bottles of Divine Marrow! Ten bottles of Heaven and Earth Essence Liquid were one hundred thousand bottles of Divine Marrow!

This price was quite sincere!

Mu Zifan continued via voice transmission: “You also know that I am not very important in Muxi Pavilion; therefore, I don't have much wealth on me! If you also have amazing performances in the second and third rounds of the Heavenly Sacrifice Battle, I will definitely find a way to apply to my father for more resources as a reward for you!”

“Don't worry!” Xu Ming said, “Since I've come to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice Battle, I will definitely sweep away everything!”

Xu Ming spoke with full confidence!

And Mu Zifan didn't think Xu Ming was bragging at all! Because Xu Ming had indeed demonstrated the strength to sweep away everything!

“Xu Ming?” Suddenly, a dignified voice directly entered Xu Ming's mind.

“Hmm?” Xu Ming was slightly taken aback.

“I am the Muxi Saint!” The voice in the transmission said.

One had to know that even Overlords were just ants in the eyes of Saints! And Xu Ming's cultivation was only at the Fourth Grade of the Silver Moon Rank; in the eyes of Saints, he wasn't even an ant!

“You performed very well!” The Muxi Saint's tone was amiable. “If you can kill a few more geniuses from the Violet Radiance Sect in the second round of the Heavenly Sacrifice Battle, and make the Violet Radiance Saint suffer a little! Then, I will definitely reward you handsomely!”

Kill a few more geniuses from the Violet Radiance Sect?

“In the second round, geniuses can kill each other?” Xu Ming didn't know what the rules of the second round of the Heavenly Sacrifice Battle were like; however, no matter what the rules were, Xu Ming didn't care!

In the face of absolute strength, rules were just fleeting clouds!

What Xu Ming was more concerned about was the Muxi Saint's words “reward handsomely”!

Since the Saint had said these words, then the reward at that time would definitely not be simple!

“Didn't I come out to do mercenary missions just to make money? Moreover, the faces of that group of geniuses from the Violet Radiance Sect are indeed quite disgusting; since killing them can make money, then I'll just let go and kill them later!”

Xu Ming only wanted to say—life was not easy; it was all for making money!

In fact, Xu Ming was already secretly overjoyed! Because even if he didn't consider the rewards later, just the things Xu Ming had obtained now had already made his wealth expand more than ten thousand times!

When he returned to the Yan Yan Continent, Xu Ming would be able to recklessly activate all kinds of cheats!—Anyway, he had many cheat points!

“This mercenary mission is really a great harvest!”

Although the harvest was great, Xu Ming didn't dare to take it lightly.

After all, this Heavenly Sacrifice Realm was full of mystery!

And mystery was actually a kind of danger!

Like when he was in the Yan Yan Continent, Xu Ming had only seen a few God Emperors at most, and had never even seen an Overlord; but in this Heavenly Sacrifice Altar, Xu Ming looked around and saw Overlords everywhere, and even saw three Saints!

The Heavenly Sacrifice Realm was definitely stronger than the entire Yan Yan Continent!—Although Xu Ming had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the Yan Yan Continent, he was almost certain!

As for comparing the "Heavenly Sacrifice Realm" and the "Divine Realm", Xu Ming couldn't guess which was stronger. After all, Xu Ming didn't know how vast the Heavenly Sacrifice Realm was; nor did he know how vast the Divine Realm was!

However, faintly, Xu Ming felt—the Heavenly Sacrifice Realm should not be inferior to the entire Divine Realm!

It was just a feeling, without any basis!

……

The bloody mess in the arena was wiped away by the Mo Saint with a wave of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Jian Yue stood in the very center of the arena.

“I want to challenge the fourth level of the Slaughter Sacrifice!”

Jian Yue said loudly.

Slaughter Sacrifice Fourth Level: One million opponents of the same level! Only heaven-defying ultimate geniuses can pass!

Although Jian Yue didn't have the strength to challenge the "Endless Slaughter Sacrifice", he was confident in challenging the fourth level!

However…

“You cannot challenge the fourth level of the Slaughter Sacrifice!” The Mo Saint said indifferently.

“Cannot challenge?” Jian Yue was dumbfounded. “Why?”

The Mo Saint explained: “The opponents in the third, fourth, and fifth levels of the Slaughter Sacrifice are all elite blood slaves of the same level! However, the elite blood slaves of the Fourth Grade of the Silver Moon Rank have already been killed by Xu Ming in the Endless Slaughter Sacrifice just now! Therefore, you cannot challenge the Slaughter Sacrifice above the third level!”

Jian Yue's cultivation was also at the Fourth Grade of the Silver Moon Rank.

“What!?” Jian Yue's expression froze instantly. “Then when will I be able to challenge the fourth level?”

“You definitely won't be able to challenge it in this Heavenly Sacrifice Assembly!” The Mo Saint said, “You may not be able to challenge it in the next Heavenly Sacrifice Assembly either—after all, elite blood slaves have been accumulated over endless years; now that they have been slaughtered by Xu Ming all at once, it will take a very long time to re-cultivate a million elite blood slaves…”

Jian Yue was speechless. “Mo Saint, do you mean… I can only challenge the second level of the Slaughter Sacrifice at most?”

“Yes!” The Mo Saint said.

“I…” Jian Yue wanted to vomit blood after hearing this. “If I pass the second level of the Slaughter Sacrifice, I can only prove that I am a heaven-defying second-tier genius; then, how can I prove to the heavens that I am a heaven-defying ultimate genius?”

“Cannot prove!” The Mo Saint said.

According to the rules of the Heavenly Sacrifice Battle, one must challenge the Slaughter Sacrifice to prove one's genius level! The tragic Jian Yue couldn't challenge the fourth level now, so naturally he couldn't prove to the heavens that he was a heaven-defying ultimate genius; next, he wouldn't be able to enjoy the treatment bestowed by the heavens to heaven-defying ultimate geniuses!

And all of this was because of Xu Ming!

Jian Yue simply hated Xu Ming to death, but there was nothing he could do about Xu Ming!

“Do you want to challenge the second level?” The Mo Saint asked.

“Yes…” Jian Yue said bitterly—if he didn't challenge, what could he do? If he didn't challenge, it would be equivalent to giving up on this Heavenly Sacrifice Battle!

The tragic Jian Yue only wanted to say: What can I do? I am also very helpless!
