Open up and break into another world

A stalwart figure in grey robes was seen stepping amidst ripples of time and space, strolling over.

These 'ripples of time and space' were the materialized order of time and space.

Wherever the grey-robed figure stepped, the ripples of time and space spread out in waves, forming lotus-like shapes.

"Stepping on time and space, each step creating a lotus!" Xu Ming watched in shock. "This grey-robed great power's understanding of the order of time and space has simply reached an inconceivable realm!"

Buzz...

The grey-robed figure casually waved in the void, as if plucking at the strings of time and space. Instantly, the frozen time and space seemed to melt like ice, and Xu Ming and the others regained their freedom.

"Palace Master!"

"Palace Master!"

Cold Eternity God Emperor, the rugged armored God Emperor, the little girl General Xuan Ling, and others bowed respectfully.

"Hmph!" The Huangquan Palace Master glanced around and heavily harrumphed. "You elders and generals are actually making moves against the newly arrived inheritor of the general's position again!"

"Again"!

It was evident that Cold Eternity God Emperor, the rugged armored God Emperor, and others were not doing this for the first time; they were repeat offenders!

The Huangquan Palace Master was somewhat annoyed, but there was nothing he could do! He used to be just an ordinary general in the Huangquan Palace; it was because he obtained a great opportunity in the Myriad Tribulation World that he successively broke through, eventually becoming the Palace Master!

To the Huangquan Palace Master, many elders and generals in the palace were his comrades or even seniors! And the Huangquan Palace Master was a sentimental person, so he generally couldn't bear to punish these old-timers!

Over time, old-timers like Cold Eternity God Emperor became increasingly arrogant; they brought a foul atmosphere to the entire Huangquan Palace.

This time, if the Huangquan Palace Master hadn't arrived in time, Cold Eternity God Emperor and the others would have already attacked Xu Ming.

In the past, there had been many inheritors of the general's position who excitedly ran to the Huangquan Palace to inherit the opportunity, only to be killed by these old-timers just as they reached the gate! The inheritor's mark on their bodies was also seized by the old-timers and bestowed upon their descendants.

"Palace Master, we just wanted to test how strong this fellow Daoist Xu Ming is!" Seeing that the Huangquan Palace Master was somewhat annoyed, Cold Eternity God Emperor quickly explained.

"Is that so!?" The Huangquan Palace Master harrumphed, too lazy to say more.

Immediately, the Huangquan Palace Master looked at Xu Ming again: "Follow me, to inherit the general's position!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming glanced at the Huangquan Palace Master with some surprise. He didn't expect that this Huangquan Palace Master was quite reasonable; he went straight to the point and asked Xu Ming to inherit the general's position!

And wasn't this exactly what Xu Ming wanted?

Xu Ming's character has always been: treat me with an inch of respect, and I'll treat you with a foot!

Seeing the Huangquan Palace Master's attitude, Xu Ming was too lazy to argue with Cold Eternity God Emperor and the others.

"Let's go!" the Huangquan Palace Master said indifferently.

Xu Ming was about to follow the Huangquan Palace Master to inherit the general's position when suddenly, the Huangquan Palace Master's expression suddenly changed.

Immediately afterwards...

Boom!!!

The entire Huangquan Palace shook heavily.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Is someone attacking our Huangquan Palace?"

The experts of the Huangquan Palace all looked up; however, they could only see the sky of the Huangquan Palace! The edge of the Huangquan Palace was separated from the outside underwater world by formations; these experts naturally could not see the situation outside through the formations.

Only the Huangquan Palace Master, because he controlled the great formation, could see what was happening outside.

"It's those people again!" The Huangquan Palace Master's face was ugly - outside the great formation were none other than Island Master Ten Thousand Crows and the other eighteen Overlord-realm great powers!

These eighteen Overlords were all leaders of the eighteen Overlord-level forces in the "West Sea" of the Asura Sea!

The eighteen forces joining hands to "bully" the Huangquan Palace was already commonplace!

"If these people really annoy me, I will..." A cold killing intent flashed in the Huangquan Palace Master's eyes.

The Huangquan Palace used to be a "Saint-level force"; even if it had declined now, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse! If the Huangquan Palace Master was really willing to use some trump cards, it would not be difficult to kill these eighteen forces!

However, the meaning of "trump card" was that it could not be easily used! Therefore, the Huangquan Palace Master would rather swallow his anger and endure humiliation than easily use his trump card.

"Hmph!" With a wave of his hand, the Huangquan Palace Master opened a gap in the formation in the sky.

Island Master Ten Thousand Crows and the other eighteen Overlord-realm leaders flew in through the gap.

"Hahahaha, Huangquan Palace Master!" Island Master Ten Thousand Crows laughed arrogantly. "The 'knocking' was a little loud, please forgive us!"

"Knocking?" The Huangquan Palace Master sneered in his heart: "'Smashing the door' is more like it, right?"

Island Master Ten Thousand Crows and the other Overlords had just joined forces outside the great formation to bombard the great formation, causing the entire Huangquan Palace to shake heavily - wasn't that a kind of "smashing the door"?

"Ten Thousand Crows!" The Huangquan Palace Master's expression was cold. "What are you here for again?"

"Haha, Huangquan Palace Master, don't look so ugly!" Island Master Ten Thousand Crows continued to laugh arrogantly. "We old neighbors are here to talk to you about the quota for the Myriad Tribulation World!"

"As expected!" The Huangquan Palace Master had long expected it - these people came to the Huangquan Palace almost every time for the quota of the Myriad Tribulation World!

"They really treat the Myriad Tribulation World as a piece of fat..." A haze flashed in the depths of the Huangquan Palace Master's eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Ten Thousand Crows, don't go too far!" the Huangquan Palace Master shouted. "There are only so many quotas to enter the Myriad Tribulation World! Most of them have already been given to you eighteen forces; now, even many of the God Emperors in our Huangquan Palace don't have a quota to enter the Myriad Tribulation World! You eighteen forces are asking for quotas again, isn't that too much?"

"Hmph!" Island Master Ten Thousand Crows snorted disdainfully. "Whether the God Emperors in your Huangquan Palace have enough quotas to enter the Myriad Tribulation World is none of my business! However, many God Emperors in our eighteen forces cannot enter the Myriad Tribulation World! We are all neighboring forces in the West Sea of the Asura Sea, Huangquan Palace Master, are you unwilling to give even these few quotas?"

"You even have the nerve to say 'neighboring forces'?" The Huangquan Palace Master said somewhat angrily. "You are clearly here to extort us!"

"Extort?" Island Master Ten Thousand Crows laughed. "Huangquan Palace Master, we are not robbers who extort! We are just here to find you for a fair competition! If your Huangquan Palace wins, we eighteen forces will give you some quotas for the Myriad Tribulation World; if we win, it will be the other way around!"

"Another 'fair' competition?" The Huangquan Palace Master sneered.

Is there really any fairness in a fair competition?

But even if it's unfair, the Huangquan Palace Master has no choice but to accept! Otherwise, Island Master Ten Thousand Crows and the others will join forces to launch some attacks on the Huangquan Palace!

"What kind of competition is it this time?"

The routine of each "fair competition" is different; however, the Huangquan Palace Master knew that since the other party had proposed a "fair competition", they must have already prepared a routine!
