Open up and break into another world

Rumble rumble…

Although the power of Ancestor Yi Quasi-Sage's self-destruction was suppressed by the Space-Time Palace Master, the Void Sky Realm Master, the God-Slaying Quasi-Sage, and the Myriad Things Pavilion Master, and did not affect too large an area, the billowing smoke generated by the self-destruction still surged outward from the City Lord's Mansion, forming a black-brown mushroom cloud spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

The giant statue of the Holy Lord shone with ten thousand rays of golden light, piercing through the billowing smoke and scattering over the entire Holy Emperor City and even the entire Thunder Continent.

…

"Not good!"

On the Yan Yan Continent, the ethereal Saint knew what happened in Holy Emperor City at once.

However, even a Saint cannot instantly traverse from Yan Yan Continent to Thunder Continent—crossing two continents takes time!

Even if this time is not long for a Saint, it is enough for the Holy Lord's statue to be completely erected!

In order to determine the ethereal Saint's location and lure him to another continent, the Holy Lord did not hesitate to sacrifice the Fire Serpent Master and played a trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

Moreover, the Holy Lord succeeded—trading a Quasi-Sage for a continent!

Whoosh—

The ethereal Saint instantly disappeared from Yan Yan Divine Mountain.

The speed was so fast that Xu Ming and Lu Qing could not even capture a shadow.

At the same time…

Taiyin Continent.

The Taiyin Continent, which was originally clear for hundreds of millions of miles, instantly plunged into gloom; a great existence that had been in seclusion for countless eons instantly broke through and went straight towards Holy Emperor City.

The center of the Houtu Realm.

The earth cracked with a fissure spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

An unchanging aura from ancient times also burst out from the fissure, rushing towards Holy Emperor City at full speed.

Extreme Day Continent…

…

At this moment.

Holy Emperor City.

The power generated by Ancestor Yi Quasi-Sage's self-destruction quickly subsided.

The endless billowing smoke was also dispelled and dissipated.

Bai Lao had disappeared in the self-destruction—a close-quarters self-destruction of a Quasi-Sage!

Let alone Bai Lao being only a Sub-Sage, even a Quasi-Sage would probably end up dying!

"Bai Lao…" Xu Ming felt indescribable feelings in his heart as he saw Bai Lao perish.

Back in the Endless Continent, although Bai Lao took Yin Ran away, he was only acting on orders.

Xu Ming actually had no resentment towards Bai Lao; on the contrary, he admired Bai Lao's fairness.

And now, Bai Lao, a master of cause and effect, directly perished the moment the battle broke out.

"Bai Lao…" Yin Ran's eyes were filled with helplessness and despair.

To Yin Ran, Bai Lao was an elder who watched her grow up!

And now, she watched this elder disappear before her eyes!

How painful?

How heartbreaking?

Moreover…

Yin Ran also saw her father, the Holy Emperor City Lord, being captured by Li Xiujie.

"Save the City Lord!"

Cloud Master and more than a dozen other powerful beings, the weakest being Half-Saints, had already surrounded and attacked Li Xiujie.

"Li Xiujie, you running dog!!"

"Die!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!…

Terrifying attacks simultaneously struck Li Xiujie.

However, Li Xiujie's face was full of disdain: "I'll let you know that the gap between Quasi-Sages and Saints is absolutely insurmountable!"

Boom rumble…

Li Xiujie's attack swept across, and Cloud Master and more than a dozen other powerful beings were directly and heavily injured!

This! This is the power of a Saint!—Although Li Xiujie's combat power in the "soul possession" state is only the weakest among Saints!

Powerless!!

A strong sense of powerlessness surged into the hearts of every powerful being—Li Xiujie was right, the gap between Quasi-Sages and Saints is really insurmountable!

Because of Li Xiujie's invincible strength, the scene temporarily fell into a stalemate.

The Dominator-level powerful beings dared not attack again.

And Li Xiujie was happy to be idle, waiting for the Holy Lord's statue to be completely erected.

"Xu Ming!" Li Xiujie looked at Xu Ming with a sneer and disdain, "You think you're very powerful because you won against me in the martial arts tournament?

But you don't know, I, Li Xiujie, have never taken you seriously!"

"Hmph!" Xu Ming did not speak—now, the Holy Emperor City Lord was still in Li Xiujie's hands; Xu Ming was afraid that if his words angered Li Xiujie, it would be bad!

"I have never really taken this so-called martial arts tournament seriously!" Li Xiujie lifted the Holy Emperor City Lord and smiled coldly, "Holy Emperor City Lord, now is the auspicious time; I think you should be able to announce who you want to choose as your son-in-law, right?—Oh, by the way, let me explain first! I, Li Xiujie, would never do such a thing as 'killing my father-in-law'!"

Li Xiujie's implication was full of threats—if the Holy Emperor City Lord chose him as his son-in-law, he would spare the Holy Emperor City Lord's life!

Otherwise, it would be death!

Of course, whether the words of a running dog like Li Xiujie can be trusted is another matter.

"It is indeed an auspicious time…" The Holy Emperor City Lord had a kind of composure that saw through everything.

He first looked at Yin Ran, his eyes full of doting; then, he looked at Xu Ming, his expression complicated; finally, the Holy Emperor City Lord's gaze fell on Li Xiujie.

"Have you thought about it?" Li Xiujie smiled coldly, "Holy Emperor City Lord, your life and Yin Ran's life are all in your hands!"

"Ha!" At this time, the Holy Emperor City Lord laughed, "Hahahaha… Life? Li Xiujie, in your current state of being a walking corpse, do you really think you are still alive?

If I were to become like you, I would rather die!"

"So, without a doubt, my choice is…" At the critical moment of life and death, the Holy Emperor City Lord announced the result of this martial arts tournament, "Xu Ming!!"

"You…" Li Xiujie was furious.

The Holy Emperor City Lord and Yin Ran silently closed their eyes—death? What is there to fear!

Cloud Master, Space-Time Palace Master, and other powerful beings all had sad smiles on their faces—at this time, what is the point of announcing the result of the martial arts tournament?

Xu Ming looked at the Holy Emperor City Lord with a complicated expression—he participated in the martial arts tournament and performed so dazzlingly for the sake of the Holy Emperor City Lord's choice; because, with the Holy Emperor City Lord's words, it meant that the relationship between him and Yin Ran was "legitimate"!

It's just…at this time, hearing the result of the martial arts tournament also made Xu Ming feel some sadness.

Of course, Xu Ming was not desperate, but was thinking about how to rescue the Holy Emperor City Lord from Li Xiujie's hands.

"Ha! Hahahaha…" At this time, Li Xiujie laughed maniacally, "Touching! It's really touching!"

"Xu Ming!" Suddenly, Li Xiujie restrained his smile and looked at Xu Ming, "Do you want to let your father-in-law live?"

Xu Ming's face was cold, not knowing what Li Xiujie wanted to do, but still said, "Yes!"

"Heh heh, it's good that you have some filial piety!" Li Xiujie sneered, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance to show your filial piety!—If you want your father-in-law to live, then kneel and crawl in front of me; maybe, if I'm in a good mood, I'll let him go!"
