Open up and break into another world

Finally, they meet!

Although Xu Ming still had the "disguise" activated, he could sense from Yin Ran's eyes that she had already recognized him!

However, the distance between them was a bit far, and there were too many Dominator-level experts present, making it difficult to communicate secretly through sound transmission. Xu Ming and Yin Ran could only exchange glances, making it inconvenient to say anything through sound transmission.

After Yin Ran took her seat,

Xu Ming thought to himself: "Now that I am inside the City Lord's Mansion and have seen Yin Ran, it seems... there's no need to keep the 'disguise' activated!"

The main reason Xu Ming activated the "disguise" was to avoid the attention of Zu Yi and Li Xiujie. After all, if Zu Yi and Li Xiujie discovered that Xu Ming was in Holy Emperor City, they would definitely use any means to kill him.

Xu Ming came to Holy Emperor City to seek a marriage partner, not to fight to the death with Zu Yi and Li Xiujie! To avoid trouble, he disguised his identity.

But now...

He was already at the scene of the marriage selection! With so many Dominator-level experts present, Zu Yi and Li Xiujie wouldn't dare to cause trouble at this time; otherwise, they would be ruining the Holy Emperor City Lord's event!

Of course, at this moment, even if Zu Yi and Li Xiujie came to cause trouble, Xu Ming wouldn't be afraid! On the contrary, he could take the opportunity to activate the "Soul Possession" and show his strength and background to his "future father-in-law!"

Moreover... facing the Holy Emperor City Lord, who was about to become his father-in-law, if Xu Ming continued to hide his identity, it would seem disrespectful to his future father-in-law!

Therefore, Xu Ming decided to deactivate the "disguise" and reveal his true identity!

Thinking of this, Xu Ming no longer hesitated and directly deactivated the "disguise".

Instantly, Xu Ming's appearance changed—a resolute face, a calm temperament! He was still the same as when Yin Ran first met him a hundred years ago!

Although Yin Ran hadn't been staring at Xu Ming the whole time, her attention had actually been secretly focused on him! Seeing Xu Ming return to his original appearance, Yin Ran couldn't help but light up and reveal a look of joy—although Yin Ran could recognize Xu Ming after the disguise, the "original" Xu Ming was still more pleasing to the eye.

...

"Hmm?"

Everyone present was a great power in the Divine Realm; they were naturally extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding world. As soon as Xu Ming removed his "disguise", all the Dominator-level experts immediately noticed.

Especially Old Bai, whose attainments in the Dao of Karma were extremely high! As soon as Xu Ming restored his true form, many more of Xu Ming's "karmic threads" appeared in the palace; to Old Bai, these karmic threads were like bright lights in the night, extremely conspicuous!

Old Bai immediately looked at Xu Ming, his face showing astonishment: "What!? It's him!!"

How could Old Bai not recognize Xu Ming! Back then, it was he who went to the Endless Continent and brought Yin Ran back to the Divine Realm!

Old Bai still had a deep impression of this young man, Xu Ming—resolute, persistent!

Moreover, Old Bai always felt that something unusual had happened between Xu Ming and Yin Ran! But strangely, with Old Bai's attainments in the Dao of Karma, he couldn't detect what had happened—it was as if a thick fog obscured the karma related to Xu Ming; no matter how Old Bai investigated, he couldn't pierce through this fog.

Now, seeing Xu Ming again, Old Bai couldn't help but curiously cast a karmic investigation again; but, unsurprisingly, he still couldn't investigate Xu Ming's karma.

"What's going on?" Old Bai was a little puzzled. "Could it be... that Xu Ming has some treasure that conceals karma?"

It's just...

Old Bai didn't know that Xu Ming didn't have any treasures to conceal karma; the reason he couldn't investigate Xu Ming's karma was because... of the cultivation technique Xu Ming practiced, 'Severing Mortal Dust'!

"It hasn't been long since I brought Xiao Ran back from the Endless Continent..." Old Bai felt horrified when he thought about it. "In just a hundred years, he has come to Holy Emperor City from the Microcosm! What's even more unbelievable is... in just a hundred years, he has grown from a Dao Lord to a strength close to the Dominator level! ?"

It was simply shocking!

However, Old Bai also thought of a possibility: "Could it be... that he entered a secret realm with chaotic spacetime?"

In secret realms with chaotic spacetime, even the flow of time is different from the outside world! For example, one day in the Divine Realm may be equivalent to thousands or tens of thousands of years in the secret realm!

However, this kind of secret realm with chaotic spacetime is rare and very unstable; it may only exist for a year or two before collapsing directly—of course, the one or two years here refers to one or two years in the Divine Realm; converted into the time in the chaotic secret realm, it may be measured in "hundreds of millions of years"!

In Old Bai's view, the only possibility for Xu Ming to have undergone such a shocking change in just a hundred years was that he had entered a similar chaotic secret realm.

...

"What!? It's him!!!" The Holy Emperor City Lord was also extremely horrified.

Although the Holy Emperor City Lord had not personally been to the Endless Continent, his energy avatar had descended on the Endless Continent!—At that time, Old Bai burned a talisman with complex secret patterns on the Endless Continent; the black giant face condensed in the sky was the Holy Emperor City Lord's energy avatar!

Xu Ming still clearly remembered that the black giant face was as vast as the sky! The black giant face had distinct features, but at that time, Xu Ming couldn't see its appearance no matter what.

The Holy Emperor City Lord and Old Bai looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Immediately, the Holy Emperor City Lord also thought of a guess similar to Old Bai's—Xu Ming was fortunate enough to enter a chaotic secret realm! Because the flow of time in the chaotic secret realm is different from the outside world; therefore, Xu Ming was able to undergo such a huge transformation in just a hundred years!

...

"What!? It's him!!!!" Quasi-Sage Zu Yi was both shocked and angry!

However, Quasi-Sage Zu Yi still took into account that the Holy Emperor City Lord's marriage selection was a major event; even if he wanted to kill Xu Ming, he couldn't openly ruin the Holy Emperor City Lord's event!—Otherwise, it would be equivalent to slapping the Holy Emperor City Lord in the face.

"Hmph!" Quasi-Sage Zu Yi thought hatefully, "Let this kid live a few more days! However, I must talk to the Holy Emperor City Lord about the marriage selection and not let him win! It is best to let Can Tian win; in this way, I and the Holy Emperor City Lord will have a marriage relationship, which will be of great benefit to both of us!"

...

"As expected!" A hint of "as expected" flashed in the Cloud Dominator's eyes, and he thought to himself, "When I watched Xu Ming's battle afterimage and saw the spearmanship he used, I had already guessed his identity!"

After Yun Ning learned the 'Five Styles of Reincarnation', he naturally went back and mentioned Xu Ming and the spearmanship Xu Ming taught him to his father.

When Xu Ming's name spread throughout the Divine Realm, it naturally reached the ears of the Cloud Dominator.

...

The other Dominator-level experts were also extremely horrified!

However, what they were horrified by was mainly Xu Ming's "disguise technique".

"Where did this Xu Ming learn his disguise technique from? He actually deceived all of our Dominator-level experts!"

"Yeah! Among the Dominators, no one saw through Xu Ming's disguise, right?"

"It's simply heaven-defying!"

"No wonder before, Xu Ming's cultivation suddenly changed from the early stage of King Sealing to the peak stage of King Sealing; now, it has changed from the peak stage of King Sealing to the half-step Divine Emperor!—I have always wondered why Xu Ming can cultivate so quickly; now it seems that Xu Ming used disguise to disguise his cultivation as well!"

"Could that half-step Divine Emperor be Xu Ming's true cultivation?" A Dominator couldn't help but say.

"Anyway, it's definitely King Sealing level!" Old Bai said, "Although I can't see Xu Ming's karmic threads clearly, I can still see that, in terms of cultivation, Xu Ming's karmic threads all point to King Sealing level, and none of them point to Emperor level!—Xu Ming can deceive my perception by hiding and changing his cultivation at will among the same level; but if he is Emperor level, it is absolutely impossible to disguise himself as King Sealing level in front of me!"

Old Bai still had this confidence!—Although he couldn't accurately judge what level Xu Ming's cultivation was at the King Sealing level; he was 100% sure that Xu Ming was definitely King Sealing level!

"Ah? Old Bai, even you can't see Xu Ming's karma clearly?" The Dominators were shocked.

"It seems that this Xu Ming must have an extraordinary encounter!"

"Nonsense! Which peerless genius who suddenly rises doesn't have some extraordinary encounter?"

...

At this time, Li Xiujie widened his eyes even more, looking at Xu Ming as if he had seen a ghost: "It's you!!!!"
