Open up and break into another world

The Thunder Battle Stage was a celestial pillar over a million realms high.

Above the pillar was the Thunder Battle Stage itself; and the clouds floating around the stage were the viewing seats.

Xu Ming saw that many clouds were occupied by countless powerful figures; clearly, the battle taking place on the Thunder Battle Stage was attracting a lot of attention.

Wu Yuan led Xu Ming directly towards the largest cloud; at the same time, Wu Yuan introduced, “There are only ten spots to go to the Nine Heavens! Among them, three spots have already been decided; the remaining seven spots will be determined on this Thunder Battle Stage!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xu Ming and Wu Yuan flew onto the largest cloud, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

“Wu Yuan? He’s back?”

“Wu Yuan dares to take risks, wandering in the Chaotic Territory of Disorder for so many epochs!”

“Yeah! I’m also at the ‘Second Order True Self’ realm, but I don’t really dare to go to the Chaotic Territory of Disorder! — Although there are many opportunities there, it’s too dangerous! You might lose your life at any time!”

“The one who came with Wu Yuan is Xu Ming from the Divine Phoenix Chaos World, right?”

Many powerful figures were discussing.

At this time, the two powerful figures fighting on the Thunder Battle Stage were both at the “Second Order True Self” realm.

Xu Ming and Wu Yuan casually found a place to sit down. Wu Yuan introduced, “The two sides fighting are ‘Yu Shi’ and ‘Heavenly Underworld Swordsman’! The strength difference between the two sides is not large, and they are both ranked in the top ten among the Nirvana Realm experts in the Thunder Sacred Land!”

Speaking of this, Wu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Ming couldn't help but look at Wu Yuan in confusion — what was so funny about this?

Wu Yuan continued, “In our Thunder Sacred Land, there is a Thunder Sacred Ranking, which includes all the Nirvana Realm experts. On the Sacred Ranking, the difference between eleventh and tenth is huge; while tenth and ninth are almost equal; the difference between ninth and eighth is a bit larger again!”

Hearing this, Xu Ming vaguely guessed something.

Wu Yuan added, “Originally, the ten spots to go to the Nine Heavens didn’t need to be decided on the Thunder Battle Stage; they would be directly given to the top ten experts on the Sacred Ranking, and no one else would have any objections! But… after you came, there are only nine spots left to go to the Nine Heavens!”

“Nine spots, and ten people want to go! So…” Wu Yuan continued, “So, the Thunder World Master directly let them decide on the battle stage! Moreover, it also gave some opportunities to the geniuses ranked behind on the Sacred Ranking.”

Wu Yuan pointed to the battle stage and said, “Yu Shi, ranked ninth on the Sacred Ranking; Heavenly Underworld Swordsman, ranked tenth on the Sacred Ranking! Originally, both of them could go to the Nine Heavens; but now, it should be one of the two!”

The reason why Wu Yuan laughed was because he was laughing at these two people, knowing that one of them was destined not to go to the Nine Heavens!

Regarding this, Xu Ming didn't feel any guilt — although Xu Ming deprived one person of the opportunity to go to the Nine Heavens; but you must know that in this world, everything depends on strength! If your strength is not good, you can't blame Xu Ming for taking a spot!

Suddenly, Xu Ming looked at Wu Yuan with a smile: “You didn’t go on the battle stage, and the spot to go to the Nine Heavens has already been decided?”

“Yes!” Wu Yuan’s tone was somewhat smug.

“What is your ranking on the Sacred Ranking?” Xu Ming asked.

“Second!” Wu Yuan said, “I, and Yu Shentian, who is ranked first, are on a different level of strength than the other top ten on the Sacred Ranking! Therefore, Yu Shentian and I don’t need to compete with them, and the spots have been directly decided!”

When Wu Yuan spoke, his gaze couldn't help but look at a powerful figure on another cloud.

Xu Ming also followed his gaze — Yu Shentian, a “Third Order True Self” genius! Probably also the only “Third Order True Self” in the Thunder World!

And Wu Yuan is only a “Second Order True Self”, but he is also very close to “Third Order True Self”.

Heavenly Underworld Swordsman, wins!

The viewing powerful figures were in an uproar.

“The Heavenly Underworld Swordsman actually won?”

“Heavenly Underworld Swordsman, ranked tenth on the Sacred Ranking! And Yu Shi, ranked ninth! Logically speaking, Yu Shi should have a better chance of winning!”

“It seems… the Heavenly Underworld Swordsman has made a lot of breakthroughs in this epoch!”

“I…” Yu Shi was still unable to accept the reality of his defeat, “I lost?”

If it were other times, losing would be losing, and at most his ranking would drop by one! But this time, it was the time to decide the spots to go to the Nine Heavens!

Losing meant that Yu Shi had no chance to go to the Nine Heavens!

Perhaps, he could still go to the Nine Heavens in the future! But that would definitely be a matter of endless epochs later; at that time, the gap between Yu Shi and the Heavenly Underworld Swordsman would definitely become wider and wider!

“I am not reconciled!!” Yu Shi's eyes were bloodshot, choosing someone to devour.

“Hahahaha…” At this time, Wu Yuan’s loud laughter resounded throughout the surroundings of the Thunder Battle Stage, “Interesting! Interesting! — Yu Shi, you geniuses from noble backgrounds are still not as good as us geniuses who climbed up from the bottom step by step at critical moments!”

Wu Yuan and the Heavenly Underworld Swordsman had obviously risen up slowly from weakness.

And Yu Shi and Yu Shentian were born noble, and from birth, they had various resources to cultivate.

It can be said that Wu Yuan and Yu Shentian respectively represented their own forces! — Wu Yuan represented the geniuses who rose from weakness, while Yu Shentian represented the geniuses from noble backgrounds.

Now, Wu Yuan saw that the Heavenly Underworld Swordsman of his own force overpowered Yu Shi and obtained the spot to go to the Nine Heavens, and he was naturally very proud. And his laughter naturally fell into Yu Shentian's ears and was particularly harsh.

“Shut up!” Yu Shentian shouted coldly.

You must know that Yu Shi is Yu Shentian's younger brother. Seeing his younger brother having no chance to go to the Nine Heavens, Yu Shentian's mood could not be good!

“Hahahaha…” Wu Yuan was not frightened by the other party’s cold shout, and laughed even more proudly.

“Wu Yuan! If you really have the ability, come up and fight me!” Yu Shentian shouted.

“I don’t have that ability for the time being!” Wu Yuan chuckled, “You can only suppress me because your realm is higher than mine! When I reach the ‘Third Order True Self’, dare to challenge me and try?”

“Humph! If you don’t dare to fight, then you don’t dare to fight! Talking so much nonsense!” Yu Shentian shouted coldly.

Immediately, Yu Shentian's gaze fell on Xu Ming — if it weren't for Xu Ming, how could his younger brother Yu Shi not be able to go to the Nine Heavens?

Now seeing Xu Ming, Yu Shentian's anger suddenly rose: “Xu Ming! You are not from my Thunder World, why are you standing here?”

Why are you standing here?

Xu Ming said lightly: “Because of strength!”

Yes, because of strength!

Xu Ming also wanted to use this answer to tell Yu Shentian — the reason why Yu Shi could not go to the Nine Heavens, although it had something to do with him, was even more because of Yu Shi's own strength!

After all, if Yu Shi's strength was strong enough, why would the Heavenly Underworld Swordsman have snatched the spot?

“Strength!?” Yu Shentian smiled, “In front of me, are you worthy to talk about strength? — Xu Ming! You and I are both at the ‘Third Order True Self’ realm, dare to step onto the battle stage and fight to the death!?”
