Open up and break into another world

The edge of oblivion, vast and boundless.

Any random open space is as vast as myriad realms; any random pond is comparable to a territory in the endless chaos.

The Sea of Oblivion.

It is the edge of oblivion, one of the gathering places for those who have been suppressed. Most of those who have been suppressed below the four-star level are searching for ways to break the chains of the universe in the Sea of Oblivion.

Whoosh—

Xu Ming's figure rapidly shuttled through the Sea of Oblivion.

"That Oblivion Demon Lord is said to have the qualification to directly converse with the Will of the Universe..." When Xu Ming heard this news, he was also extremely shocked—the Will of the Universe, how high above, ethereal, and unimaginable!

Back then, when Xu Ming was suppressed by the chains of the universe, he felt that the Will of the Universe was like stepping on an ant; even less than stepping on an ant!

Yet, the Oblivion Demon Lord actually has the qualification to converse with the Will of the Universe?

Even if it's just "conversation," it's still terrifying!

"The Oblivion Demon Lord left behind three great secret techniques in the Sea of Oblivion that can remove the chains of the universe!" Xu Ming thought to himself, "These three great secret techniques are: 'Nine Forges of Swallowing the Universe', 'The Passerby', and 'Annihilation'... Mastering any one of these secret techniques allows one to remove a one-star universe chain! The more profound the cultivation, the higher the star rating of the universe chain that can be removed..."

Although it seems that in the Sea of Oblivion, one can only remove four-star universe chains at most, Xu Ming still intends to take a look. After all, understanding more is definitely only beneficial and not harmful.

"The Pillar of Annihilation..."

Xu Ming is now heading towards the Pillar of Annihilation, which records the secret technique "Annihilation."

Whoosh—

Xu Ming's figure instantly swept across myriad realms. Before long, he arrived near the Pillar of Annihilation.

This is a giant pillar that reaches the sky and penetrates the earth, extending from the bottom of the Sea of Oblivion all the way to the surface of the sea. The giant pillar is covered with golden secret patterns, emitting the aura of the vast and mighty rules of the universe's operation.

"This is the Pillar of Annihilation?"

Xu Ming placed his palm on the pillar.

Instantly, the secret patterns on the Pillar of Annihilation were activated one after another. A vast and profound aura instantly poured into Xu Ming's divine body.

"This is...?"

Xu Ming's eyes widened instantly.

He saw that the invisible rules of the universe's operation seemed to have transformed into tangible chains at this moment, binding everything in the world. Any behavior that overstepped the rules would be suppressed by the chains of the universe.

Boom!!

A giant blade that annihilated time and space condensed within this strange dimension of time and space. Every inch of detail on the giant blade constantly changed with the fluctuations of time and space.

"Annihilation"—First Layer!

Xu Ming stared at every detail and every change on this "Blade of Annihilation," his mind gradually sinking into it.

"So that's how it is..."

In front of Xu Ming, a Blade of Annihilation gradually condensed. However, the Blade of Annihilation that Xu Ming condensed was much smaller and looked much more fragile!

"The first layer of 'Annihilation'—I've mastered it just like that?"

Xu Ming activated this "small" Blade of Annihilation and directly slashed it towards himself.

Whoosh—

The Blade of Annihilation flashed and submerged into Xu Ming's body, but it couldn't touch Xu Ming's divine body at all, as if they were in two completely different dimensions.

Instantly, the Blade of Annihilation slashed onto the chains of the universe on Xu Ming's body.

Bang!!

The Blade of Annihilation directly dissipated.

However, the chains of the universe on Xu Ming's body remained motionless, without even leaving a trace.

The first layer of "Annihilation" can only sever one-star universe chains; but the universe chains on Xu Ming's body are nightmare-level! —It would be strange if there were any reaction from this slash!

"The first layer is complete!"

Immediately afterward, this giant blade within the strange space-time underwent some changes, which was the evolution of the second layer of "Annihilation."

"Hmm... this second layer is much more difficult than the first!"

If other great powers knew about Xu Ming's thoughts, they would probably vomit blood—it must be known that many great powers have cultivated painstakingly, but have never been able to master "Annihilation"; yet Xu Ming instantly learned the first layer, not to mention lightly saying that "the second layer is much more difficult," he is truly speaking without feeling the pain.

...

Just as Xu Ming was practicing "Annihilation"...

The Sea of Oblivion.

Dozens of half-Reverent seventh- and eighth-order experts were currently surrounding a half-Reverent third-order expert like stars surrounding the moon, heading towards the Pillar of Annihilation.

Although this half-Reverent third-order great power was the weakest, his status was obviously very high. One half-Reverent seventh- and eighth-order great power after another showed humility in front of him.

"Half-Reverent Life Calamity, this time, you will definitely be able to master the third layer of 'Annihilation,' right? When that time comes, I hope you can lend a hand and help sever the universe chains on my body!" A half-Reverent eighth-order expert said humbly.

Half-Reverent Life Calamity is only a half-Reverent third-order expert, but his talent for cultivating the secret technique "Annihilation" is extremely high. It is precisely because of this that many great powers place their hopes on him, hoping that he can lend a hand and help sever the universe chains on their bodies.

"Breaking through the third layer of 'Annihilation' is naturally not a problem!" Half-Reverent Life Calamity said with certainty, "I have already touched the threshold of the third layer of 'Annihilation,' it's just that I'm still slightly short! This time, I will go to the Pillar of Annihilation to cultivate for a while, and mastering the third layer will be no problem! It's just that..."

Speaking up to here, Half-Reverent Life Calamity deliberately paused for a moment, looked at the surrounding great powers, and said lightly: "Using 'Annihilation' to sever the universe chains is originally a matter of violating the rules of the universe's operation! It's okay to use it a few times, but if it's used too much and offends the rules of the universe's operation, then I'll be miserable! Maybe... I will be suppressed by the universe chains again!"

The implication of Half-Reverent Life Calamity's words is very clear—if you want me to take action, then prepare enough price!

Of course, what Half-Reverent Life Calamity said is not false! Doing too much of this kind of thing, severing the universe chains, will indeed offend the rules of the universe's operation and bring disaster!

The surrounding great powers were also very sensible and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will definitely not let Half-Reverent Life Calamity take action for nothing!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely take out treasures that will satisfy you!"

These half-Reverent seventh- and eighth-order experts were all prepared to bleed a lot. After all, being suppressed by the universe chains is almost certain death; if the universe chains cannot be removed, then what's the use of having more treasures?

"Humph!" Half-Reverent Life Calamity chuckled noncommittally.

Soon, the great powers arrived near the Pillar of Annihilation.

"Hmm? Why is someone cultivating?" Half-Reverent Life Calamity's brow furrowed instantly.

There's still more tonight.
