Open up and break into another world

Boom!

Xu Ming rapidly dived downwards.

“According to Little Guai's investigation, the Yellow Springs Hall is here!” Xu Ming looked at the seabed below.

Light penetrated billions of miles of seawater, shining down here, already dim and weak. The gloomy and cold environment looked like the Yellow Springs of the netherworld.

“But… where are the people? I don't see a single person!” Xu Ming was a little puzzled.

If the Yellow Springs Hall was really here, he should at least see someone, right? But here, there wasn't a single person!

“Formation!” Suddenly, Xu Ming was slightly startled, “This environment, which looks like the Yellow Springs of the netherworld, is actually a huge illusionary killing formation! — What a hidden formation! Even I only discovered it after getting close to it!”

Obviously, the entrance to the Yellow Springs Hall was very likely hidden within this illusionary killing formation.

“Little Guai, investigate, is this formation very threatening?”

Even though the Yellow Springs Hall had declined, it was still a Dominator-level force after all, and its foundation was extremely deep! — Although Xu Ming was confident, he wasn't arrogant enough to force his way into the Yellow Springs Hall.

Little Guai quickly responded: “Netherworld Illusionary Killing Formation, capable of trapping early-stage Dominator-level experts, capable of directly annihilating half-step Dominators!”

“It's quite powerful!” Xu Ming thought to himself, “If I were to force my way in, I would inevitably have to waste a few strands of Chaos Origin Energy!”

“However…” Immediately after, Little Guai added, “This formation poses no threat to the host!”

No threat at all?

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel a little strange: “Why is that?”

Little Guai replied: “The host possesses the identity of 'the General's personally transmitted successor' within the Yellow Springs Hall, so he has already gained the formation's recognition! If the host enters the formation, the formation will automatically let him pass!”

“So that's how it is!”

Since Little Guai had already thoroughly investigated this illusionary killing formation, Xu Ming was naturally not worried; he swaggered into the formation.

Whoosh!

As soon as Xu Ming entered the formation, the scene before his eyes changed drastically. The layers of illusions within the formation rapidly disappeared and made way.

Soon, Xu Ming saw the true face of the Yellow Springs Hall — it was a continuous group of palaces built on the seabed. The endless palaces were all radiant and filled with purple energy, looking incomparably luxurious.

Looking at these endless underwater palaces, Xu Ming had the illusion of arriving at the Dragon Palace.

“Although this is the seabed of the Asura Sea, because there is a formation protecting it, the seawater doesn't exert any pressure! Even ordinary people can live here!” Xu Ming felt the surrounding environment and thought to himself, “However… the Yellow Springs Hall's defenses are too lax, aren't they? I've already entered the Yellow Springs Hall, and yet there isn't a single guard to question me? — If I were here to attack the Yellow Springs Hall, wouldn't the Yellow Springs Hall be in trouble?”

Xu Ming's thoughts were actually completely unnecessary.

You must know that the reason he could enter the Yellow Springs Hall so easily was because his identity had gained the recognition of the illusionary killing formation! — The illusionary killing formation regarded Xu Ming as one of its own!

But if an enemy wanted to break into the Yellow Springs Hall, it wouldn't be so easy! — Those below the Dominator realm who forcibly broke in would be directly annihilated by the illusionary killing formation; early-stage Dominators who forcibly broke in would also be trapped. As for experts above the middle stage of the Dominator realm, even if they could forcibly break through the illusionary killing formation, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.

Therefore, with this illusionary killing formation, the Yellow Springs Hall's defense could basically be worry-free.

“As expected of a Dominator-level force, its foundation is truly deep! A mere guardian formation actually possesses such power!”

Xu Ming was just about to pull someone over to inquire about the situation of the Yellow Springs Hall; suddenly, his eyes lit up: “It can't be such a coincidence, can it?”

He saw an icy young man slowly flying by not far away.

“Damn, isn't it true that people meet everywhere in life!” Xu Ming thought to himself.

Wasn't this icy young man Qian Yishang, who had competed with Xu Ming for the position of “General's personally transmitted successor” in Naihe City? — Brother Ming had slapped his icy face countless times; Xu Ming was very familiar with his face!

“I didn't expect that as soon as I came to the Yellow Springs Hall, I would run into an acquaintance! This is really fate!”

Xu Ming felt that his hand was itching again — back in Naihe City, Xu Ming hadn't slapped Qian Yishang's face enough! Moreover, this “Young Master Shang” hadn't been slapped into submission by Brother Ming at that time!

Brother Ming's face-slapping has always emphasized “slapping until they submit”! How can it be allowed if they don't submit?

“It seems that I can make up for the slaps that I didn't finish slapping in Naihe City back then today!” Xu Ming thought to himself.

At this time, Qian Yishang seemed to feel Xu Ming's undisguised gaze and curiously looked in Xu Ming's direction.

With this one look, Qian Yishang was almost scared out of his wits! — Wasn't the face in the distance his nightmare “Xu Ming”?

“Why is Xu Ming here?” Qian Yishang thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

However, when he thought of how Xu Ming had slapped his cousin “Young Master Mo” in the Cloud Garment Sect not long ago; Qian Yishang realized — this was really Xu Ming!

“Run!”

“Xu… Xu Ming!” Qian Yishang screamed in horror, “What do you want to do? This is the Yellow Springs Hall, don't mess around!”

Xu Ming ignored Qian Yishang's screams and said indifferently: “Not bad, Young Master Shang, it's been more than a hundred years since we last met, and your cultivation has already reached the Five-Star God level?”

Back in Naihe City, Qian Yishang was only a demigod. After more than a hundred years, cultivating to the Five-Star God level could only happen in the great forces of the God Domain.

Of course, Xu Ming was an anomaly! — In just over a hundred years, Xu Ming's strength had reached an unbelievable Emperor level! He had left Qian Yishang, this super genius, far behind!

“That's right!” Xu Ming suddenly said, “I remember, you said before that if I dared to come to the Yellow Springs Hall, you would make sure I wouldn't have a good death or something? — I'm here now, what are you going to do?”

“I… I…” Qian Yishang's expression was collapsing — how could he have imagined that he and Xu Ming would have such “fate”; Xu Ming had just arrived at the Yellow Springs Hall, and he had actually run into him alone.

“I… I didn't say that!” Of course, Qian Yishang wasn't stupid, and he quickly denied it.

“Oh? You didn't say that?” Xu Ming smiled playfully, “I can't remember what you said; but, I remember what I said — even if I run into you in the Yellow Springs Hall, I'll still slap you!”

“You… you… Xu Ming, don't mess around, this is the Yellow Springs…”

Pa!

Xu Ming slapped him.

Qian Yishang's face was immediately reddened by the palm print.

The red palm print was hanging on his face, it was really… when enemies meet, they are especially “face” red.
