Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming didn't harbor much hatred for Gong Taihao.

It was true that Gong Taihao had used Xu Ming to initiate the trial of the Realm-Breaking Spear; however, in the end, it was actually Xu Ming who obtained the opportunity. Gong Taihao not only didn't get the opportunity, but he also became Xu Ming's "scapegoat," helping Xu Ming attract the hatred of the great powers of the True Universe, all without knowing it.

"Little Brother Xu Ming, I offer this confinement array as a greeting gift. Not bad, right?" Gong Taihao pointed to the huge confinement array enveloping Eternal City and smiled.

"Not bad!" Xu Ming smiled—if it weren't for this confinement array set up by Gong Taihao, those geniuses of the Eternal Temple who hadn't truly died would probably have scattered and fled; moreover, Xu Ming wouldn't have been able to stop them at all.

"Gong Taihao, you…" The moment Gong Taihao appeared, Zuo Wei's expression suddenly changed drastically, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. However, it was only a slight panic, indicating that he still had a backup plan.

Gong Taihao looked at Zuo Wei and smiled: "I'm only doing this for myself, sorry!"

Indeed!

If Xu Ming reached a cooperation with Rong Hai, then Gong Taihao would be in big trouble!

After all, with Xu Ming's strength, coupled with treasures from the True Universe, even Gong Taihao, this reincarnated great power, would have to perish in the First Heaven World.

For a time, Xu Ming, Gong Taihao, Rong Hai, and Zuo Wei fell into a strange stalemate.

Suddenly, Rong Hai shouted: "Xu Ming, I'll tell you now the method to deal with the True Universe geniuses! Quickly help me take down Gong Taihao!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming glanced at Rong Hai without replying.

Before, Rong Hai could still bargain with him; but from the moment Gong Taihao appeared, he no longer had the qualifications to bargain!

Because… Xu Ming knew that Gong Taihao would definitely "bid" against Rong Hai!

Sure enough, before Rong Hai's words completely fell, Gong Taihao spoke: "Xu Ming, I can also immediately tell you the method to deal with the True Universe geniuses—moreover, if it weren't for me setting up the confinement array, those few True Universe geniuses who hadn't truly died would probably have escaped! You see, my sincerity is greater than Rong Hai's, right?"

"And…" Gong Taihao smiled again, "Rong Hai still has to ask you to deal with me! But I don't have any requests; I just want you to not interfere!—Little Brother Xu Ming, you should consider this carefully!"

Indeed, Gong Taihao's conditions were far better than Rong Hai's. If Xu Ming had to make a choice right now, he would definitely choose Gong Taihao.

However…

It was rare to encounter two beings from the True Universe bidding against each other; how could Xu Ming let go of this opportunity to "make a fortune"?

One had to know that even Huang Fen, a relatively ordinary genius in the True Universe, could easily take out five Chaos Origin Cores. Then… Gong Taihao and Rong Hai, what could they take out?

Gong Taihao was a reincarnated great power, and his awakening should have been some time ago! No matter what, his financial resources must be stronger than Huang Fen's, right?

As for Rong Hai's thirty geniuses, they were even top geniuses with backgrounds in the True Universe; their financial resources were definitely more than just a little stronger than Huang Fen!

Xu Ming was just lamenting how he could obtain more Chaos Origin Cores to exchange for level-22 cheat points! These two relatively wealthy beings bumped into each other—how could Xu Ming not take the opportunity to slaughter them?

"How about this…" Xu Ming spoke.

Gong Taihao and Rong Hai both quieted down, wanting to hear what Xu Ming would say.

Rong Hai's side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, in today's situation, I definitely have to choose one side between you two to stand on! Otherwise, I won't be able to get the method to deal with the True Universe geniuses!" Xu Ming added, "I must have the method to deal with the True Universe geniuses! Also… you should take out some Chaos Origin Cores!"

Speaking of this, Xu Ming suddenly smiled slyly.

"Whoever takes out more Chaos Origin Cores, I'll help that person!"

This was Xu Ming's condition—the method to deal with the True Universe geniuses, and Chaos Origin Cores!

"This…"

"This…"

Gong Taihao and Rong Hai couldn't help but be stunned—how could they not see that Xu Ming was clearly trying to take the opportunity to make a fortune!

This was a blatant scheme, but precisely because of this, whether it was Gong Taihao or Rong Hai, they had no choice but to follow Xu Ming's rhythm! Whichever side didn't follow the rhythm would be the one to suffer!

"Twenty Chaos Origin Cores!" Rong Hai shouted almost without hesitation.

Twenty?

Xu Ming's eyes lit up—as expected of a top genius from the True Universe! He was generous right off the bat! Like with Huang Fen, Xu Ming put in a lot of effort, but only got five Chaos Origin Cores in the end.

"Thirty!" Gong Taihao immediately followed suit—if it were his previous life, Gong Taihao, as a top power in the True Universe, wouldn't have cared about Chaos Origin Cores at all! But now, Gong Taihao's number of Chaos Origin Cores was also limited, so his follow-up bid was also relatively conservative.

"Forty!"

"Fifty!"

"Eighty!"

"One hundred!"

…

The bids from both sides were rising steadily.

The more heated the bidding, the happier Xu Ming was.

"If I can accumulate enough level-22 cheat points, I can go and enslave Sovereign Huang as soon as I return to the Divine Phoenix Chaos Realm! At that time, Sovereign Huang's means of 'causal entanglement' left on me will naturally be defeated without a fight!" Xu Ming thought to himself.

Sovereign Huang had tricked Xu Ming back then, leaving "causal entanglement" on Xu Ming—as long as Xu Ming's cultivation reached the Destruction Realm, he would have to rescue Sovereign Huang within ten thousand years; therefore, Xu Ming's cultivation had been stuck in the Myriad Existence Realm, not daring to easily break through to the Destruction Realm.

However…

Sovereign Huang would never have imagined that it was precisely because of his "causal entanglement" that he inadvertently fulfilled Xu Ming, allowing Xu Ming to obtain the super great opportunity of the Realm-Breaking Spear!

Otherwise, if Xu Ming had broken through to the Destruction Realm early on and entered the Second Heaven World, then he would have had no connection with the Eternal Battlefield, the Realm-Breaking Spear, or the Cosmic Sea of Flowers!

Speaking of which, Xu Ming still had to thank Sovereign Huang properly!

But thank you or not, enslaving Sovereign Huang was still a must!

"I wonder… how many level-22 cheat points are needed to enslave Sovereign Huang?" Xu Ming thought to himself.

At this time, Gong Taihao's bid had reached "one thousand" Chaos Origin Cores!
