Open up and break into another world

A figure, sent hurtling backward, crashed onto the battle stage like a meteor.

Boom!!!

Xu Ming’s feet landed heavily on the battle stage; the entire stage shuddered, but he managed to stay upright.

Buzz—

Just then, an isolation formation rose around the battle stage, separating the inside from the outside.

“What’s going on!?” Tan Qi was stunned—he was about to step onto the stage, but he found that the surrounding area had been sealed off by the isolation formation, preventing him from entering.

“You are…?” Gu Qing was also slightly taken aback. He could, of course, tell that Xu Ming hadn’t intended to come onto the stage, but seemed to have been blasted up there by someone…

Such a thing had truly never been seen on the No Regrets Battle Stage!

“Uh…” Xu Ming also realized his current predicament. Accidentally ending up on the No Regrets Battle Stage was a bit awkward!

“Kid, I, Gu Qing, don’t kill the unknown, so you can get off…” Gu Qing was about to tell Xu Ming to get lost when he suddenly paused, recognizing Xu Ming’s identity, “You’re Xu Ming!?”

Gu Qing was instantly overjoyed!

One must know that on the No Regrets Battle Stage, unless both parties agreed to end the battle, they had to fight to the point of “death or surrender”!

Moreover, all the treasures of the losing party would belong to the victor!

Which meant…

As long as Gu Qing killed Xu Ming, then Xu Ming’s Undying Sword, and all his other treasures, would belong to him, Gu Qing!

“This is truly effortless!” Gu Qing looked at Xu Ming with gleaming eyes, like a big bad wolf looking at a little lamb trapped in a desperate situation.

The other powerful figures below the stage also realized this.

“Damn! How did Xu Ming suddenly fly onto the battle stage?”

“Gu Qing’s luck is too good, right? Is the Undying Sword going to fall into his hands?”

…

The No Regrets Battle Stage was the only place within the entire City of the Fallen that allowed fighting; the rules established by the Phoenix Supreme dictated that once the isolation formation was activated, no one from the outside could interfere or interrupt the battle.

Sword God Venerate walked in from outside, his expression suddenly changing: “What? Xu Ming actually got blasted onto the No Regrets Battle Stage!?”

Now, Sword God Venerate hadn’t taken action for countless epochs, and no one knew how far he had progressed on the path to the “True Self Realm” or how strong he truly was! But without a doubt, Sword God Venerate was definitely one of the most top-tier existences below the Domain Lord Realm!

“Owe me a favor?” Gu Qing sneered dismissively, “How much is your favor worth?”

With the backing of the Gu Clan, Gu Qing didn’t even need to give Sword God Venerate face, and there was nothing the other party could do about it.

“You…” Sword God Venerate’s gaze was icy, but he was indeed helpless.

…

On the battle stage.

Gu Qing looked at Xu Ming with a sinister smile: “What a fate! It seems… it’s Heaven’s will to bestow the Undying Sword upon our Gu Clan!”

The Gu Clan hadn’t given up on contending for the Undying Sword; many Gu Clan powerhouses had gone to the True Self Auction House, wanting to compete for the Undying Sword. However, Gu Qing’s cultivation was too low, and he didn’t have the strength to participate in such a competition, so he had come to the No Regrets Battle Stage.

“It really is… intentionally planting flowers that don’t bloom, unintentionally inserting willows that thrive!” Gu Qing looked at Xu Ming with an air of certainty, “Xu Ming, hand over the Undying Sword yourself, and I’ll spare your life!”

Below the battle stage, all eyes were on Xu Ming.

“How will Xu Ming choose?”

“Is there even a need to ask? He’ll definitely hand over the Undying Sword!”

“Even in his peak condition, Xu Ming’s strength is only equivalent to an ordinary third-order Nirvana Realm cultivator, right? Moreover, he’s currently injured!”

“It’s said that he took an arrow from Yu Xu! He probably used some life-saving means to survive!”

“Damn it! The Gu Clan is getting a bargain!”

…

Inside the City of the Fallen.

Several Gu Clan powerhouses were racking their brains, trying to figure out how to obtain the Undying Sword!

“Entering the Undying Pagoda is a great opportunity! If our Gu Clan can seize this opportunity, we can complete our transformation!”

“Unfortunately! It’s too difficult! There are too many forces contending for the Undying Sword! Our Gu Clan’s chances of obtaining it aren’t very high!”

“That’s right! Yu Xu of the Future Alliance, relying on his proficiency in archery, directly launched an attack outside the City of the Fallen!”

Powerhouses skilled in archery could kill enemies from beyond myriad realms. Other powerhouses found it difficult to do what Yu Xu could.

Suddenly, the expressions of several Gu Clan powerhouses became colorful.

“Xu Ming was actually blasted onto the No Regrets Battle Stage? And the one on the No Regrets Battle Stage is actually Gu Qing?”

“Excellent! Heaven is helping our Gu Clan!”

“Hahahaha… This ninth Undying Sword will definitely be obtained by our Gu Clan!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! …

Several Gu Clan powerhouses rushed towards the No Regrets Battle Stage, overjoyed.

…

“Hand over the Undying Sword?” Xu Ming looked at Gu Qing.

It really was a case of "people fear fame like pigs fear fattening!"

No matter where he went, others always coveted the Undying Sword in his hands.

“That’s right!” Gu Qing looked at Xu Ming condescendingly, “Even if I kill you, the Undying Sword will still be mine! Actively hand over the Undying Sword, and I’ll spare your life!”

“Is that so?” Xu Ming smiled, “But… I don’t want to spare you!”

“Hm?”

As soon as Xu Ming said this, the powerhouses around the battle stage were stunned!

“Hahahaha…” Gu Qing was the first to burst into laughter.

Following closely behind, the powerhouses around the battle stage also sneered dismissively.

“This Xu Ming is only of ordinary low-tier Nirvana Realm strength, yet he dares to be so arrogant! Does he think he’s invincible on the first-tier battle stage?”

“He probably saw that Gu Qing only has a first-order Nirvana Realm cultivation and thought Gu Qing was easy to bully! He probably doesn’t know… how terrifying the strength represented by the ‘Ideation Realm’ is?”

“He’s asking for his own misfortune! Gu Qing had already given him a way out, but he insisted on blocking it! If he dies, he can’t blame others!”

Clearly, no one was optimistic about Xu Ming.

At this moment…

Boom! Boom! Boom! …

Figures rushed in.

There were powerhouses from the Gu Clan and other forces, as well as Lone Gun Wanderer and Yun Tian.

“Gu Qing!” An elder of the Gu Clan stroked his beard and smiled, “You’ve made a great contribution to the clan, and I promise you that you’ll definitely have a seat among the clan elders in the future! When the time comes to enter the Undying Pagoda, we’ll also leave a spot for you!”

“Brother Ming…” Lone Gun Wanderer obviously recognized Gu Qing and knew that Gu Qing’s strength was not to be underestimated, so he couldn’t help but worry about Xu Ming.
