Open up and break into another world

Azure Phoenix City.

In the previous Chaos Era, it should have been a remote city within the Ancient God Temple; but now, it has become one of the stations connecting the outer and inner halls.

Those who can appear in Azure Phoenix City are usually at least at the eighth rank of the Desolate Realm; even, many are at the ninth rank of the Desolate Realm!

Fragrant Blossom Pavilion is a famous teahouse in Azure Phoenix City.

The owner of the teahouse is said to have once been an existence at the pinnacle of the Desolate Realm!

However, he had long been tired of killing and has been living in seclusion in this Fragrant Blossom Pavilion for countless epochs, drinking tea, telling stories, and living a leisurely life.

Unless the Ancient Remnant Realm completely collapses, he will probably continue to live in seclusion like this forever.

"Landlord, please comment on this battle between Xu Ming and the Divine Phoenix Alliance, the Covenant Alliance, and the Myriad Tribulation Sect!"

"That's right, Landlord! It's unimaginable that Xu Ming could single-handedly kill nearly three thousand powerhouses above the eighth rank of the Desolate Realm!"

......

The Fragrant Blossom Pavilion's Landlord, dressed in plain clothes, fiddled with his tea set.

He said softly, "To be honest... I also have many things I can't understand about this battle!"

"Landlord, just tell us about it!"

"Even if you can't understand it, your insight is definitely sharper than ours!"

The Fragrant Blossom Pavilion's Landlord was already an existence at the pinnacle of the Desolate Realm countless epochs ago, and his current strength may be even stronger, having reached the invincible level of the Desolate Realm!

How could his insight be compared to ordinary eighth or ninth rank Desolate Realm cultivators?

"Alright, I'll just say a few words!" The Fragrant Blossom Pavilion's Landlord brewed a pot of tea and began to speak like a storyteller, "Actually, I really have many doubts about this battle!

The first is my doubts about Xu Ming's strength..."

"Everyone should have heard that before activating the Azure Universe Array Map, the strength Xu Ming displayed was only at the limit of the Desolate Realm!

Moreover, he only reached the limit of the Desolate Realm with the help of a top-grade Myriad Things Divine Weapon!

But... after activating the Azure Universe Array Map, Xu Ming killed nearly three thousand powerhouses from the Divine Phoenix Alliance, the Covenant Alliance, and the Myriad Tribulation Sect!" The Fragrant Blossom Pavilion's Landlord said calmly, "What exactly happened inside the Azure Universe Array?"

"Even if Xu Ming deliberately hid his cultivation before, luring the powerhouses of the three forces in!

However, to kill nearly three thousand powerhouses, he undoubtedly needs extremely strong strength!" The Fragrant Blossom Pavilion's Landlord added, "You must know that even an invincible Desolate Realm cultivator would have to flee in the face of nearly three thousand powerhouses above the eighth rank of the Desolate Realm!

Even the top Desolate Realm geniuses who come out of the Chaos Secret Realm, whose strength is comparable to the Myriad Things Realm, would have to retreat; if they collided head-on, they would be suppressed and killed!

— It is well known in the Ancient Remnant Realm that only 'Wu Jun' can kill three thousand high-level Desolate Realm cultivators; no other genius can do it!

Could it be... that Xu Ming's strength has also reached the level of Wu Jun?

Is he much stronger than the top Desolate Realm geniuses who come out of the Chaos Secret Realm?"

The Fragrant Blossom Pavilion's Landlord spoke eloquently.

The powerhouses in the teahouse also discussed how Xu Ming's strength was.

Needless to say, Xu Ming's strength is definitely much stronger than the top Desolate Realm geniuses who come out of the Chaos Secret Realm.

Those who have not seen Xu Ming in person will definitely not be able to tell whether he is the real Xu Ming or a fake Xu Ming.

However...

None of the powerhouses in the teahouse obviously regarded him as the real Xu Ming.

After all, there are too many "high imitation Xu Mings" in the current Ancient Remnant Realm!

Isn't there a high imitation Xu Ming sitting in the corner of the teahouse!

Teahouse corner...

Xu Ming's mood was complicated—he was the real Xu Ming!

"There are so many people impersonating me..."

Xu Ming had just arrived in Azure Phoenix City; before that, he had been traveling alone, and it was difficult to encounter even a single person.

After entering Azure Phoenix City, Xu Ming encountered no fewer than five "high imitation versions of himself"!

Although these high imitation versions of Xu Ming had never seen Xu Ming himself, they had seen Xu Ming's appearance and aura from the Covenant Alliance's reward.

Now, the Covenant Alliance is no longer offering a reward for Xu Ming.

Because... there are too many "Xu Mings"!

"I heard that the earliest group of people who impersonated me have already shown off quite a bit in my name!

Even... a few people, under my name, have even deceived the bodies of a few female cultivators..." Xu Ming thought somewhat awkwardly.

He was really worried that after he returned to the Divine Phoenix Secret Realm, those female cultivators who had been deceived would hold him accountable—that would be a great injustice!

"People are afraid of being famous, just like pigs are afraid of being fat!" Xu Ming sighed helplessly.

......

Inside the teahouse.

A group of experts were still arguing about who was stronger, Xu Ming or Wu Jun.

"Wu Jun?"

Xu Ming was really interested.

Ever since entering the Ancient Remnant Realm, Xu Ming had been hearing legends about Wu Jun—Wu Jun, with only the ninth rank of the Profound Yellow Realm, was the undisputed number one powerhouse in the Ancient Remnant Realm!

"I don't know what kind of opportunities Wu Jun has obtained in the Ancient Remnant Realm!" Xu Ming thought to himself, "However... this Wu Jun seems to want to capture me, and he won't be polite when he attacks me!

If I encounter him, there's no need for me to be polite to him either; at that time, I can see what kind of opportunities Wu Jun has obtained!"

The argument in the teahouse continued.

However, most of the experts still believed that Wu Jun's strength was stronger!

After all, Wu Jun had suppressed the Ancient Remnant Realm for countless billions of years, and his accumulated power was deep; and Xu Ming only had this one record, and this battle took place in the Azure Universe Array, without any witnesses, and it was impossible to know what Xu Ming's true strength was.

Suddenly...

A magnificent and vast voice resounded throughout Azure Phoenix City.

The great powers in the Fragrant Blossom Teahouse naturally heard it clearly.

"The 'Xu Ming Hegemony Battle' will be held on the Azure Phoenix City Battle Stage!"

Xu Ming Hegemony Battle?

"Real · Xu Ming" had a strange expression: "What is this thing?"

The magnificent and vast voice continued to sound: "The champion in the 'Xu Ming Hegemony Battle' will be able to meet Xu Ming and receive Xu Ming's guidance!"

"What?" Xu Ming's expression became even stranger, "Be able to meet me? And receive my guidance?

—Why don't I know about this?"

However, the "high imitation Xu Ming" in the teahouse suddenly couldn't calm down.

Whoosh!

The high imitation Xu Ming suddenly stood up and rushed out of the teahouse, heading towards the Azure Phoenix City Battle Stage.

"Uh..." Xu Ming thought for a while, then stood up and went to the Azure Phoenix City Battle Stage to see what was going on.

Many other great powers in the teahouse also got up, muttering in their mouths: "Two fake Xu Mings have gone, let's go take a look too!"
