Open up and break into another world

“One thousand Chaos Origin Cores!”

This was Gong Taihao's offer.

One thousand Chaos Origin Cores—what kind of concept was this?

Placed in the Chaotic Territory, it could directly establish one thousand illusory universes!

Without a doubt, this was an incredibly terrifying fortune!

However, in the eyes of beings from the True Universe, Chaos Origin Cores didn't seem to be anything incomparably precious.

“One thousand one hundred!” Rong Hai raised the price again.

However, in Rong Hai's eyes, there was a faint hint of hesitation—it seemed that his offer was already nearing its limit!

“One thousand two hundred!” Gong Taihao raised the price once more.

“I…” Rong Hai opened his mouth, but couldn't shout out a higher price—the total Chaos Origin Cores of their thirty geniuses added up to less than one thousand two hundred.

“Hahahaha…” Gong Taihao immediately laughed.

In fact, he only had a little over one thousand two hundred Chaos Origin Cores; if Rong Hai could have added another hundred, he would have lost!

And the cost of losing… was too great!

“Thank goodness!” Gong Taihao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

And Gong Taihao's victory in the bidding war was exactly what Xu Ming wanted to see—after all, Gong Taihao was his scapegoat; without Gong Taihao helping him carry the blame, it was inevitable that super-powerful beings from the True Universe would turn their attention to him.

Now, Gong Taihao not only helped Xu Ming "carry the blame" but also gave Xu Ming one thousand two hundred Chaos Origin Cores—it was the best possible outcome!

“Xu Ming!” Rong Hai said unwillingly.

“Oh?” Xu Ming looked at Rong Hai and said, “Do you have more Chaos Origin Cores?”

“Not for the moment!” Rong Hai said, “But Xu Ming, if you just give me some time, I can gather more Chaos Origin Cores!”

“Give you time?” Xu Ming smiled.

You should know that the current outcome was exactly what Xu Ming wanted.

Even if Rong Hai was given more time, he would probably only gather a few more Chaos Origin Cores; there was no need!

Moreover, it was Gong Taihao's trapped formation that had helped Xu Ming trap those Eternal Temple geniuses who hadn't truly died.

Xu Ming could see that Gong Taihao didn't have many Chaos Origin Cores left; if he really gave Rong Hai time to gather Chaos Origin Cores, then Gong Taihao would likely remove the trapped formation.

In that case, those Eternal Temple geniuses would definitely take the opportunity to escape!

By then, even if Xu Ming obtained a method to deal with True Universe geniuses, what use would it be?

Matters should be prioritized.

Compared to a few Chaos Origin Cores, Xu Ming was more concerned about Xu Yin's situation!

“I don't have time to wait for you!” Xu Ming said directly, while turning to Gong Taihao, “Gong Taihao, tell me the method to deal with True Universe geniuses, and give me one thousand two hundred Chaos Origin Cores!

I promise, in the First Heaven World, I will never attack you!”

“Alright!”

The contract was set.

The transaction was completed.

“Hahahaha…” Gong Taihao laughed and said, “Little brother Xu Ming, I won't stay here any longer!

I'll give you this trapped formation as a gift; with your control over the trapped formation, and with their strength, they won't be able to break it for several years!”

Gong Taihao laughed loudly and left directly.

What he was most worried about was that Xu Ming would use treasures from the True Universe to suppress him!

With Xu Ming's strength, combined with treasures from the True Universe, even if he was a reincarnated mighty figure, he probably wouldn't be able to resist!

Now that he and Xu Ming had signed a contract, creating a causal entanglement, he no longer had this worry.

“Haha, as long as Xu Ming doesn't attack, I won't have any worries in the First Heaven World!—With rabble like Rong Hai, no matter how many come, they won't pose any threat to me!”

This was a secret technique, called《Illusory True Nine Heavens》.

“So, the pure black three-dimensional shadows are just the ‘projections’ of True Universe geniuses in the First Heaven World; and their true bodies are not something I can see or attack!”

The First Heaven World was actually a "illusory world" like the illusory universe.

Although True Universe geniuses could enter the First Heaven World, their main bodies could not touch anything in the First Heaven World; similarly, they could not be touched by anything in the First Heaven World.

They could only use projections to come into contact with other things in the First Heaven World.

Therefore…

What Xu Ming had just killed were only the projections of those Eternal Temple geniuses, at most equivalent to killing an avatar, with little impact on the main bodies of the Eternal Temple geniuses!

No wonder Zuo Wei and other Eternal Temple geniuses, despite being "killed" by Xu Ming one after another, didn't feel any fear!

What was there to fear about dying a projection?

“I can't see or touch the main bodies of these Eternal Temple geniuses yet, but when I have mastered the 《Illusory True Nine Heavens》 secret technique, I will be able to see and attack them!” Xu Ming thought, “When that time comes, I'll see if they're still afraid of death!

I'll see if they're willing to tell the truth!”

Xu Ming didn't believe that the geniuses of the True Universe wouldn't be afraid of death!

Xu Ming guessed right, the geniuses of the Eternal Temple were indeed afraid!—The main bodies of the Eternal Temple geniuses, which Xu Ming couldn't see right now, were discussing fiercely.

“What should we do? Gong Taihao is too hateful, he even helped Xu Ming set up a trapped formation, so we can't even escape!”

“What do we do now?”

The newest novels are first published on 69shu\\.com!

“We can't escape! If we wait until Xu Ming masters the 《Illusory True Nine Heavens》, we're finished!”

“Could it be… are we really going to submit to a genius from an illusory universe?”

“Submit to an illusory universe? Impossible!!!”

“Look—Xu Ming is going to cultivate the 《Illusory True Nine Heavens》!”

“We can't let him succeed in his cultivation!”

“Right! We can't let him succeed in his cultivation!—This trapped formation can only trap us for a few years at most!

As long as we influence Xu Ming and prevent him from mastering the 《Illusory True Nine Heavens》 within a few years, we can escape!”

“Right! As long as we escape back to the True Universe, even Xu Ming won't be able to chase after us!”

“Quick! Quick! Let's attack together and interrupt Xu Ming's cultivation!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! … …

More than a dozen Eternal Temple geniuses instantly manifested their projections.

Manifesting a projection once didn't cost them much.

Instantly, more than a dozen pure black three-dimensional shadows appeared around Xu Ming.

“Kill!”

“Don't let Xu Ming cultivate the 《Illusory True Nine Heavens》 comfortably!”

“We must prevent him from mastering it!”

Streams of attacks swept towards Xu Ming—their purpose was very clear, to sabotage and prevent Xu Ming from cultivating properly!

Boom—

With a wave of his hand, Xu Ming suppressed the densely packed incoming attacks.

“You won't let me cultivate secret techniques properly?” Xu Ming put down the secret technique scroll of 《Illusory True Nine Heavens》 and smiled, “Sorry, I've already mastered it!”

The update for today is complete, thank you!
