Open up and break into another world

“It seems… I won’t be able to cultivate for the time being!”

Outside the outer hall of the Primordial God Temple, Xu Ming looked towards the surrounding void.

Although the Wan Jie Cult’s experts had temporarily retreated, the commotion from the battle was so great that it naturally attracted many experts adventuring in the outer hall.

At this moment, in various directions around Xu Ming, there were no less than a hundred high-level experts of the Honghuang Realm hiding!

Although these experts had not shown themselves yet, they were secretly watching, making it impossible for Xu Ming to cultivate in peace.

Xu Ming was too lazy to drive these experts away.

After all, they were too scattered, making it very troublesome to drive them away.

“Since I can’t cultivate, I might as well refine the treasures I obtained at the Covenant Alliance auction first!”

Refining treasures doesn't require the same level of concentration as cultivation; Xu Ming could refine them while also allocating a wisp of his mental energy to monitor the outside world.

At the Covenant Alliance auction, Xu Ming "bought" almost all the treasures at the entire auction; however, only two treasures could be used in the upcoming battles—the Limitless Divine Spear and the True Demon Armor!

Both of these treasures were "Myriad Manifestation Divine Weapons," which were much better than the treasures Xu Ming currently possessed.

Among them, the True Demon Armor was a low-grade Myriad Manifestation Divine Weapon, while the Limitless Divine Spear was an extreme-grade Myriad Manifestation Divine Weapon.

“The True Demon Armor is easier to refine, so I’ll refine this one first!”

With Xu Ming's current strength, refining a low-grade Myriad Manifestation Divine Weapon was naturally not very difficult.

In just three days, he had completely refined the True Demon Armor.

Afterward, Xu Ming began to refine the Limitless Divine Spear.

…

Just as Xu Ming was refining the treasures, experts from various factions arrived from time to time.

“I heard that this Xu Ming is a genius who just emerged from the Myriad Domains Genius Battle of this era!

I have to say, his cultivation speed is truly unbelievable; he actually possesses the strength of a ninth-level peak Honghuang Realm expert so quickly…”

“What’s so unbelievable about it?

Perhaps he entered a space where the flow of time is different to cultivate?”

“In my opinion, it’s definitely because Xu Ming’s strength has increased too quickly, so he’s become arrogant and thinks he’s invincible in the Ancient Remnant World!

Little does he know… there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens; in the Ancient Remnant World, there are existences he can’t afford to provoke!”

“Hmph!

Putting aside everything else, among the experts who have arrived, there are several ninth-level peak Honghuang Realm existences, right?”

“Why doesn’t someone go up and test this Xu Ming?

The Covenant Alliance is offering a reward of one hundred million low-grade Chaos Origin Crystals; if we can capture him, it would be a huge windfall!”

The experts who arrived one after another discussed among themselves through voice transmissions.

They surrounded Xu Ming from all directions, and the way they looked at Xu Ming was as if they were looking at a trapped beast.

“Which one of you is interested in going up and testing this Xu Ming?”

In the depths of the dark void, several ninth-level peak Honghuang Realm experts stood proudly in the distance.

They sized up Xu Ming with interest, as if they were sizing up prey.

“Venerable Yun Yi, why don’t you go up and try?”

Venerable Yun Yi was a relatively famous lone ranger in the Ancient Remnant World; he had no weaknesses in attack, defense, speed, etc., and his ability to protect his life was extremely strong.

It was said that he had even successfully escaped from an existence above the ninth-level peak Honghuang Realm in the Divine Phoenix Alliance.

Venerable Yun Yi also had one characteristic, which was… cowardice!

Because he was timid, Venerable Yun Yi had adventured in the Ancient Remnant World for countless eras and was still alive and well.

The wealth he had silently accumulated was probably no less than that of a faction!

Venerable Yun Yi said indifferently, “Mad Lord Hengxing, why don’t you go?”

“Forget it, forget it!

You’re all pushing each other; I’ll go!” A white-robed, sickly-thin figure, Demon Hand, chuckled sinisterly.

Demon Hand cultivated a "minor path"—the Path of Puppets.

Boom!

A white robe streaked across the void, heading towards Xu Ming, but his face wore a humble smile: “Brother Xu Ming, I’m here to spar with you; I hope you’ll show mercy and stop when appropriate!”

Stop when appropriate?

Xu Ming sneered in his heart: Those who stood up to challenge him at this time were obviously here to kick him when he was down!

If he were weak, Demon Hand would definitely capture him without hesitation and hand him over to the Covenant Alliance.

“Stop when appropriate?

Are you joking!” Xu Ming sneered.

“Either roll back, or if you dare to come up, then be prepared to die!”

“Hmph!

You don’t know what’s good for you!

Then don’t blame me for being impolite!” Demon Hand snorted coldly, and his aura suddenly erupted.

Boom!

The white robe on his body instantly exploded into pieces.

His divine body was full of metallic luster; it was a puppet body.

“He actually transformed his divine body into a puppet body?” Xu Ming was slightly surprised, but more than that, he was disdainful.

“The Path of Puppets relies too much on external objects; it’s ultimately just a minor path!

Although his current strength is not weak, the space for his strength to improve further is very limited!”

Xu Ming!” Demon Hand roared.

“Among the Honghuang Realm, I wouldn’t dare to call myself invincible!

But… there are quite a few who can defeat me; but there are really not many who can kill me!—I want to see how you’re going to make me die!”

Boom!

Demon Hand’s two steel arms instantly extended hundreds of millions of miles!—His two arms were his weapons!

That was why he called himself "Demon Hand."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

After the two arms extended, they were like two whips hundreds of millions of miles long, frantically lashing towards Xu Ming.

Wherever the whip shadows passed, the space was distorted.

“You do have some tricks!” Xu Ming sneered, not afraid at all.

You must know that Xu Ming’s strength, even among the ninth-level peak Honghuang Realm, was extremely strong!

Ordinary ninth-level peak Honghuang Realm experts were simply not his opponents!

And this Demon Hand in front of him, apart from the fact that his puppet body's defense was a bit stronger, was otherwise equivalent to an ordinary ninth-level peak Honghuang Realm expert!—How could this bit of strength be Xu Ming’s opponent!

“Myriad Dao Spear Intent!”

Xu Ming’s spear seemed incomparably small in front of Demon Hand’s two steel arms that were hundreds of millions of miles long.

However, at Xu Ming’s level, "big" and "small" had long since lost any meaning!

Even the biggest divine body was empty!

Only "power" was fundamental!

If the power was strong, even if the divine body was as small as an ant, it could shake the heavens and the earth!

Boom!

Although Xu Ming’s spear was small, how could the power and mysteries it contained be compared to Demon Hand’s?

With just one collision, the difference was immediately apparent; Demon Hand’s two steel arms were blasted away!
