Open up and break into another world

Stepping out from the other end of the Chaos Teleportation Array.

This place was also a divine city, but it was very close to the Ancient God Temple.

“I robbed the Contract Alliance Auction House. With the Contract Alliance's powerful forces, I'm afraid they will search for me throughout the entire Ancient Remnant Realm, right?” Xu Ming thought to himself, “I'd better not stay in this divine city! Otherwise, if they discover me within the city, it would be troublesome! Perhaps… I should just head straight into the Ancient God Temple!”

Xu Ming wasn't afraid of the Contract Alliance; rather, he was preparing to stop here and not continue to entangle with them.

Moreover, the Ancient God Temple was extremely vast and full of dangers. Even if the Contract Alliance's forces were strong, it wouldn't be easy to find someone inside.

Therefore, after walking out of the Chaos Teleportation Array, Xu Ming decisively headed straight for the Ancient God Temple.

Whoosh—

He rushed along the shattered void.

After flying for about a month and a half, Xu Ming finally saw the outline of the Ancient God Temple.

This was an incredibly massive temple, spanning billions of realms, like a giant heart of the Ancient Remnant Realm. However… this “heart” was already in ruins.

From an endless distance away, Xu Ming could see that the Ancient God Temple was just a pile of broken walls. Countless fragments and dust were scattered around the Ancient God Temple; even the smallest dust was larger than a “realm”.

Even Xu Ming was shocked by the sight of this temple!

Xu Ming looked from afar: “The main body of the Ancient God Temple is what is commonly referred to as the Inner Temple; and the fragments and dust scattered around are the scope of the Outer Temple…”

Xu Ming continued to fly closer.

After several more months, the “small fragments” that were seen in the distant past had become as vast as the sky and the sun. And those tiny “dust particles” gradually revealed their true size.

As for the main body of the Ancient God Temple… Xu Ming could no longer see it!

Countless fragments and dust, magnified billions of times, had long obscured Xu Ming's vision, so how could he still see the appearance of the Ancient God Temple!

“Great form has no shape!” Xu Ming couldn't help but sigh at how heaven-defying the methods of the great power who built the Ancient God Temple were!

It should be known that even a small fragment was so large that Xu Ming couldn't shake it! That is to say… when the Ancient God Temple was built, a being with Xu Ming's strength didn't even have the qualifications to “move bricks”!

Whoosh!

Finally, Xu Ming entered the Outer Temple area of the Ancient God Temple.

The area of the Ancient God Temple was so vast that Xu Ming didn't encounter a single person as he entered the Ancient God Temple.

“First, find a place to hide and accept the second level inheritance of the Divine Phoenix Undying Body!” Xu Ming thought to himself.

Although Xu Ming didn't have enough Divine Phoenix Essence, even if he accepted the second level inheritance, he wouldn't be able to truly practice it! However, it could at least slightly improve his strength!

Those who could enter the Outer Temple of the Ancient God Temple were all high-level existences in the Wild Realm! With a bit more strength, Xu Ming would be able to explore here more calmly.

The Outer Temple of the Ancient God Temple had countless fragments of the temple and a chaotic space; finding a place to hide here was naturally very simple.

Xu Ming chose a “boulder” the size of a Divine Region, found a hole, and directly drilled into the interior of the boulder; at the same time, he also laid down some hidden formations. In this way, unless someone directly entered the interior of the boulder to investigate, it would be almost impossible to discover Xu Ming.

……

At this time.

Treading Ancient Divine City.

Contract Alliance Branch.

“It has been investigated clearly!” Elder Yue Yao was reporting to the branch's Elder Council, “Xu Ming, who caused a disturbance at our Contract Alliance Auction House a few months ago, is the genius who stood out in this era's Myriad Domain Genius Battle!”

“The genius of this era's Myriad Domain Genius Battle?” The dozen or so elders present in the Elder Council looked at Yue Yao with doubtful eyes, “Elder Yue Yao, even if you're going to spout nonsense, please keep it within limits, okay?—This era's Myriad Domain Genius Battle has only just ended, right? Even the strongest genius would only have the strength of a high-level Profound Yellow Realm at most! And that Xu Ming who caused a disturbance at our Contract Alliance Auction House probably has at least the strength of a ninth-level Wild Realm, right?—You're saying he's the genius of this era's Myriad Domain Genius Battle? Are you kidding us?”

Elder Yue Yao knew that the Elder Council wouldn't believe it. In fact, even he himself didn't dare to believe it when he first learned of this news!

“This is information about Xu Ming, you can look at it yourselves!” Elder Yue Yao threw over a jade slip.

The elders all probed into the jade slip with their divine senses and began to investigate.

Immediately, everyone's faces showed surprise.

“He really is a genius from this era's Myriad Domain Genius Battle…”

“Unbelievable!”

“Unimaginable!”

Moreover, Elder Yue Yao had also “deciphered” what Xu Ming meant by the four words “give and take”.

The latest novels are at 69shu.com!

“Elder Yu Chi!” Yue Yao looked at Yu Chi Ting, “You robbed Xu Ming outside Treading Ancient Divine City before; therefore, Xu Ming came to retaliate against our auction house… this is the so-called ‘give and take’!”

Yu Chi Ting smiled bitterly: “Robbed? What did I rob?—The treasures robbed from Xu Ming at that time weren't even enough to activate the 'Bridge of an Inch'!”

Not only did he not rob anything from Xu Ming, but the auction house was also looted by Xu Ming—the Contract Alliance could be said to have suffered heavy losses and wanted to cry without tears.

“Everyone, that's the way things are, what do you think… what should we do now?” Elder Yue Yao said, “Xu Ming is a genius from the Chaos Secret Realm. If we move against him, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the 'Divine Phoenix Alliance'! Next, should we continue to offer a reward for Xu Ming, or should we just let this matter pass?”

The Divine Phoenix Alliance was an alliance of geniuses from the Divine Phoenix Secret Realm in the Ancient Remnant Realm.

The requirements for joining the Divine Phoenix Alliance were extremely high. Not only did one have to be a genius from the Divine Phoenix Secret Realm, but one also had to have the strength of a ninth-level Wild Realm!

That is to say… anyone who came out of the Divine Phoenix Alliance was stronger than the elders of the Contract Alliance! Of course, there were very few people in the Divine Phoenix Alliance! In terms of numbers, they didn't even amount to one ten-thousandth of the Contract Alliance's numbers!—If it were in the past, the Contract Alliance wouldn't really be afraid of the Divine Phoenix Alliance; after all, they could completely rely on a “human wave tactic” to easily pile up and kill the geniuses of the Divine Phoenix Alliance!

But now, the Contract Alliance didn't dare to provoke the Divine Phoenix Alliance at will! Because… a super existence who crushed the entire Ancient Remnant Realm, and was also the strongest expert in the Ancient Remnant Realm—Wu Jun—had emerged from the Divine Phoenix Alliance!

If Wu Jun let go and killed, no matter how many people there were in the Contract Alliance, they would just be a nest of ants waiting to be trampled!

“Although Xu Ming is a peerless genius, the Ancient Remnant Realm has the rules of the Ancient Remnant Realm. Here, everything depends on strength! His strength is not worth mentioning! But if we cause dissatisfaction from the Divine Phoenix Alliance, that would be troublesome…”

“Indeed… it wouldn't be good to cause trouble for the Contract Alliance in order to find Xu Ming for revenge!”

“We can't say that! Xu Ming looted our auction house. If we don't say anything even in this situation, then in the future, what face will our Contract Alliance have in the Ancient Remnant Realm? Wouldn't that mean that anyone can come to our Contract Alliance Auction House to loot us?”

“That's right! If we admit defeat in this situation, other forces will think that we have submitted to the Divine Phoenix Alliance!”

……

The Elder Council argued for a long time, but there was no conclusion.

In the end, Elder Yue Yao said: “Let's first ask the Chief Alliance Master to negotiate with the Divine Phoenix Alliance and see what their attitude is! Then, it won't be too late to make a decision!”

The second update is gone tonight, sorry… Alas, alas, I won't explain anymore!
