Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming strolled onto the Floating Sinking Platform.

Instantly, countless astonished gazes were cast upon him.

“Eh—Nirvana Realm?”

“Only a Nirvana Realm cultivation?”

“Haha… a Nirvana Realm cultivator is actually suppressed by the Cosmic Chains? How miserable!”

You must know that those suppressed by the Cosmic Chains are mostly half-Venerable level experts, with a few being World Lord Realm cultivators; as for Domain Lord Realm cultivators, they are almost never seen, let alone Nirvana Realm cultivators!

A Nirvana Realm cultivator being suppressed by the Cosmic Chains is truly miserable!

“What exactly did he do? To be suppressed by the Cosmic Chains in the Nirvana Realm!”

“However… he’s only in the Nirvana Realm, so even if he’s suppressed by the Cosmic Chains, it’s probably just a one-star Cosmic Chain! It won’t be difficult to break free!”

“That’s right! Fortune and misfortune are intertwined! With this experience of being suppressed, he will definitely be more careful when cultivating in the future, and avoid touching certain Cosmic Operating Rules. It’s almost impossible for him to be suppressed again… In this way, it’s actually a blessing in disguise!”

…

“Come on!”

However, the expression of the Sinking Envoy became increasingly solemn and astonished—he was the only one who could see the test situation! Because of this, even with the Sinking Envoy’s strength at the peak of the Upper Supreme, he felt extremely astonished and unbelievable.

After a long while, the light faded.

“Huff—” Xu Ming took a deep breath, looked at the Sinking Envoy, and waited for him to announce the results, “I’m ready! I’m afraid… it will be a seven-star Cosmic Chain!”

The great powers around the Floating Sinking Platform chatted with smiles:

“Why hasn’t he announced it yet?”

“Is there even a need to announce it? It must be a one-star Cosmic Chain!”

“Actually… this Xu Ming doesn’t even need to come for the test!”

“Indeed! Even at the Domain Lord Realm level, a two-star Cosmic Chain has almost never appeared; moreover, he’s just a mere Nirvana Realm cultivator!”

…

“Xu Ming!” The Sinking Envoy was silent for a long time before solemnly announcing, “Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain!”

Nightmare-level!?

As soon as the Sinking Envoy said this, all the experts were stunned.

Doesn’t the Cosmic Chain only have “one-star” to “seven-star”? What the heck is this nightmare-level!?

Only some very experienced half-Venerables, after being confused for a while, finally came back to their senses and exclaimed in shock.

“Nightmare-level?”

“It’s actually nightmare-level?”

“Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain… isn’t that just a legend? It’s actually real!?”

“Throughout the long history of the universe, adding up all eight quadrants, the number of times a nightmare-level Cosmic Chain has appeared is probably only a handful! Moreover… none of the great powers suppressed by the nightmare-level Cosmic Chain have been able to survive!”

“If you say that a seven-star Cosmic Chain still has a glimmer of hope! Then… a nightmare-level Cosmic Chain truly has no chance of survival!”

“Certain death!!”

Amidst the exclamations of several veteran half-Venerables, the other surrounding half-Venerables quickly understood what the nightmare-level Cosmic Chain meant!

It meant: certain death!

“What exactly did this Xu Ming do? To be suppressed by a nightmare-level Cosmic Chain! The most important thing is… he’s only in the Nirvana Realm!”

“No matter what he did, he must have angered the will of the universe!”

These great powers couldn’t imagine what kind of heaven-defying and resentment-inducing things a mere Nirvana Realm cultivator could have done to trigger a nightmare-level Cosmic Chain!

…

“I…”

When Xu Ming heard the words “nightmare-level” come out of the Sinking Half-Venerable’s mouth, he was also stunned—he had already prepared himself for the highest seven-star Cosmic Chain, but he didn’t expect that he had still underestimated himself! His Cosmic Chain was actually a “nightmare-level” higher than “seven-star”!

A “nightmare-level” with no chance of survival!

How surprising and exciting!

“I’m still just a Nirvana Realm cultivator…” Xu Ming could only smile wryly.

He was still just a baby! Was the will of the universe being a little too harsh on him?

But…

The universe was silent.

The rules of the universe operate invisibly.

The will of the universe doesn’t care about the thoughts of any individual!

“Nightmare-level? Certain death?” Xu Ming also learned some information about the nightmare-level Cosmic Chain from the discussions of the surrounding great powers.

“Certain death?”

Xu Ming didn’t believe in this evil!

In the history of the universe, no one has ever been able to remove the nightmare-level Cosmic Chain; since that’s the case, then Xu Ming will be the “first”!

Thinking of this, Xu Ming took a firm step and walked off the Floating Sinking Platform.

However… Xu Ming’s resoluteness, in the eyes of other great powers, looked like he was “facing death as if returning home”!

“Little Brother Xu Ming!” A horned half-Venerable kindly advised, “Leave the Stone Statue Forest, find a comfortable place, and enjoy the rest of your life! Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain… don’t even think about breaking it, even if you’re the most monstrous ninth-order half-Venerable expert in the history of the universe!”

“Nirvana Realm, nightmare-level? Alas… Little Brother Xu Ming, my condolences!”

“Little Brother Xu Ming, can you tell us, what exactly did you do? With your cultivation, you’re actually suppressed by a nightmare-level Cosmic Chain… it’s simply unimaginable!”

The great powers in the Stone Statue Forest can be said to be “fellow sufferers at the ends of the earth”. If it were two great powers with similar conditions, they might still compare with each other; but with Xu Ming’s situation, all the great powers had left was pity!

Too miserable!

A Nirvana Realm cultivator being suppressed by a nightmare-level Cosmic Chain!

It was simply too miserable!

There was no chance of resistance at all!

“Uh…” Xu Ming was a little speechless—wasn’t it just a nightmare-level Cosmic Chain? He himself didn’t think there was anything to it, why were these great powers mourning for him instead…

“Ahem!” Xu Ming thought for a while and asked, “I heard that Cosmic Chains below four stars can be removed without entering the Sinking Abyss; then, where can I find the method to remove them?”

When the great powers heard Xu Ming’s question, they immediately looked at Xu Ming with even more pitying eyes—he still refused to give up?

“The method to remove Cosmic Chains below four stars is useless to you!” It was still the horned half-Venerable, “However… I’m afraid you won’t find any useful methods in the Stone Statue Forest or even the Sinking Abyss! If you want to find something to do for the last part of your life, it’s not impossible to learn about those removal methods; but I advise you, don’t have any hope! Once you have hope, you will despair in the future!”

Don’t have any hope?

Once you have hope, you will despair in the future?

Xu Ming was speechless for a while and awkwardly said, “Please tell me!”

I came home at dawn and only finished coding at three in the morning… I’m also drunk… This kind of work is going to drive me crazy… I’m taking leave tomorrow afternoon to code at home, damn it.
