Open up and break into another world

This is the graveyard of the universe!

Countless powerful beings have turned into stone statues, becoming their own tombstones.

Many of these statues still retain remnants of the will of these powerful figures. Approaching them allows one to feel the impact of their lingering regrets.

“Heaven is jealous of talent! Heaven is jealous of talent!!

“I, Dragon Sky Half-尊, was invincible at the Half-尊 level, even killing five Lower-Rank Supreme! But alas, Heaven is jealous of talent! The universe's rules do not allow the existence of a monstrous genius like me, suppressing me…

“I hate it!!

“This vast universe cannot accommodate geniuses like us? Could it be… that only by being content with mediocrity can one ultimately reach the end of cultivation!?”

…

“I, Fiend Devil Half-尊! Although I was suppressed by the universe's chains for practicing forbidden arts, and am about to die; my great revenge has been avenged, and I have no regrets in this life!”

…

“Why!?”

“Why am I being suppressed by the universe's chains when I clearly haven't broken any of the universe's rules!? I am not convinced!!”

…

Countless impacts of will revolved incessantly within the Stone Statue Forest.

Endless sorrow, unwillingness, despair, and other emotions constantly influenced Xu Ming.

However, these powerful beings have already fallen for countless epochs. Even if their will remains to this day, it is already very weak and naturally cannot pose any threat to Xu Ming. At most, it only allows Xu Ming to feel their emotions.

“Unwillingness?”

Being suppressed by the universe's chains, gradually turning into a stone statue, who would be willing?

“However… doesn't it say that there is a way to remove the universe's chains within the Stone Statue Forest? Why have so many powerful beings turned into stone statues?”

Filled with doubt, Xu Ming wandered around the Stone Statue Forest. Within these remnants of will, Xu Ming also collected some information.

“So, the universe's chains are also divided into levels! From one-star to seven-star, there are a total of seven star levels!” Xu Ming thought to himself, “Low-star universe chains can be removed within the Stone Statue Forest; however, to remove five-star and above universe chains, one must enter the Sunken Abyss…”

Sunken Abyss…

That is the center of the Stone Statue Forest!

It is said that after entering the Sunken Abyss, there are only two possibilities—either, you remove the universe's chains on your body and come out; or… you will never be able to leave the Sunken Abyss!

Of course, among the “suppressed ones” who enter the Sunken Abyss, the proportion who can remove the universe's chains on their bodies is very small!

“I hope… the star level of my universe's chains isn't too high!”

If the star level is not high, then there is a way to remove them within the Stone Statue Forest; if the star level is too high and requires entering the Sunken Abyss, then it will definitely be much more troublesome!

However…

Will the star level of Xu Ming's universe's chains be low? Thinking about it with your toes, you know it won't be low!

“Sigh…” Xu Ming sighed inwardly, “The universe's chains on my body are probably at least six-star, and might even be seven-star…”

Seven-star universe chains…

This is a legendary existence in the Stone Statue Forest, and even in the Sunken Abyss! But Xu Ming already had a premonition that there was a very high probability that he had seven-star universe chains. After all… when it comes to comparing star levels, Brother Ming has never lost!

“Go to the 'Edge of Depravity' to test what star level my universe's chains are!”

The Edge of Depravity is the edge of the Sunken Abyss, and also the gathering place for the powerful beings within the Stone Statue Forest.

Most of the low-star suppressed ones will live on the Edge of Depravity for a long time, until the universe's chains on their bodies are successfully removed; or if they are not removed, they will eventually turn into stone statues and be thrown into the Stone Statue Forest.

…

Edge of Depravity.

Floating Platform.

This is a battle platform for testing the star level of the universe's chains.

The one guarding the battle platform is a Depravity Envoy; of course, not the one Xu Ming had seen before.

You must know that the strength of each Depravity Envoy is at the “Upper-Rank Supreme Peak”! Just guarding the battle platform, their strength is already so terrifying; as for the powerful beings who built the battle platform, they are even more unfathomable and unimaginable!

At this time, the star level test of the universe's chains is being carried out on the Floating Platform.

However…

The atmosphere of this test is a bit strange.

Usually, the higher the star level, the better. But here, the lower the star level, the better; if the star level is high, you will cry!

“Kong Yuan Half-尊, three-star universe chains!”

After a burst of dazzling light flashed on the Floating Platform, the Depravity Envoy said loudly: “Niu Ba Half-尊, five-star universe chains!!”

“Five-star!!?”

Hearing these two words, Niu Ba Half-尊 almost fell on his butt on the Floating Platform; his face was filled with despair!

The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥in⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥首⊥hair!

Five-star universe chains… This means that within the Stone Statue Forest, it is almost impossible to remove the universe's chains on his body; to remove them, he must enter the Sunken Abyss!

And entering the Sunken Abyss… the probability of survival is less than one in a hundred!

“Five-star…” The gazes of the powerhouses around the Floating Platform towards Niu Ba Half-尊 were also full of pity.

“Too miserable…”

“Five-star universe chains! If this Niu Ba Half-尊 doesn't enter the Sunken Abyss, he can only wait to die!”

“Pitiful!”

Under the pitying gazes of many, Niu Ba Half-尊 walked off the Floating Platform in despair. In his heart, he was seriously considering how to enter the Sunken Abyss.

“Next!”

Another thin Half-尊 stepped onto the Floating Platform. In the eyes of this Half-尊, there was also a hint of cunning.

Soon, the test was completed.

“Zi Shu Half-尊, one-star universe chains!”

One-star!?

The surroundings of the Floating Platform were stunned.

The Zi Shu Half-尊 on the stage was even more incredulous, and then revealed a look of ecstasy!

“One-star!! I am one-star!?” Zi Shu Half-尊's eyes were shining, “In that case, my universe's chains can be easily removed!”

Yes!

One-star universe chains are relatively easy to remove! There is a more than 90% probability that they can be successfully removed.

When walking off the Floating Platform, Zi Shu Half-尊 felt that his feet were a little floating—when he was suppressed by the universe's chains, how desperate he was; and now, despair seemed to suddenly disappear!

“Zi Shu Half-尊, congratulations!”

“Congratulations!”

“It seems that Zi Shu Half-尊 will soon be able to leave the Stone Statue Forest!”

Near the Floating Platform, many powerhouses cast envious gazes towards Zi Shu Half-尊, and congratulated him one after another.

“Hahahaha…” Seeing this, Zi Shu Half-尊 became even more proud.

…

“Next tester!” The guarding Depravity Envoy said loudly, “Xu Ming!”

Sorry, it's just one chapter today.
