Open up and break into another world

One by one, the great Half-Sovereigns arrived at Nine Casting Mountain.

Before long, nearly a hundred Half-Sovereigns who were suppressed by the one-star universe chains had summoned some friends. Half-Sovereign Slanting Rain was the first to summon thirty Half-Sovereigns, meeting Xu Ming's requirement.

"Half-Sovereign Slanting Rain, you said you saw my Dao companion with someone else…" Half-Sovereign Green Field was the last of the thirty Half-Sovereigns to arrive; as soon as he arrived, he hurriedly asked.

"Wait a moment!" Half-Sovereign Slanting Rain casually said to Half-Sovereign Green Field, and then hurriedly ran to Xu Ming, "Senior Xu Ming, I have already summoned thirty…"

"No need to say more! I will help you break the universe chains on your body for free!" Xu Ming said indifferently.

Break the universe chains?

And it's "free"?

The hundreds of Half-Sovereigns who were already here didn't feel any surprise upon hearing this—Xu Ming could easily break even four-star universe chains, let alone mere one-star universe chains?

But the Half-Sovereigns who arrived later were all shocked—there was such a good thing!?

Instantly, many gazes looked at Xu Ming, waiting for him to take action.

"With Xu Ming's strength, breaking one-star universe chains is as easy as flipping his hand!"

"Yes! But… why is Xu Ming gathering so many Half-Sovereigns? What is his intention?"

"Could it be for treasures? But… the universe chains on Xu Ming's body are said to be nightmare-level, meaning certain death! Since he's already certain to die, what's the point of collecting treasures?"

"Let's just watch!"

The Half-Sovereigns all watched, waiting for Xu Ming to use "Annihilation."

However, at this moment, Xu Ming did not use "Annihilation"; his divine body changed, becoming as if filled with endless suction.

"This is…"

Among the great Half-Sovereigns, there was no lack of discerning eyes; they quickly recognized that this was… the Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe!!

"Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe! Xu Ming really cultivated this secret technique within Nine Casting Mountain!"

"Could it be… Xu Ming wants to cultivate this secret technique to the extreme in order to break the nightmare-level universe chains on his body?"

"Impossible!—In the history of the universe, among the great figures suppressed by nightmare-level universe chains, it's not like no one has cultivated 'Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe'; however, no one has ever been able to successfully cultivate it to the extreme!"

"Yes! 'Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe' is just a path that wastes time in vain; I didn't expect Xu Ming to choose this path!"

Boom!!

At this moment, Xu Ming activated "Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe"; the powerful suction directly acted on the universe chains on Half-Sovereign Slanting Rain's body.

Bang!

Instantly, this universe chain was directly swallowed into Xu Ming's heart-world!

It was… eaten!

"Uh…" Many great Half-Sovereigns were stunned—Xu Ming really eats everything! He even eats universe chains!

Half-Sovereign Slanting Rain also had a dumbfounded expression. He didn't expect that the universe chains that had troubled him for so long would disappear in such a way—being eaten clean…

But Xu Ming didn't care about the shock of the other great figures.

After swallowing the one-star universe chains, he immediately began to cast; he cast all the power of rules contained in this one-star universe chain into the foundation of his own heart-world.

"One-star universe chains are really hard to 'digest'!" Xu Ming thought to himself, "However… the power of rules contained within is also much purer and more vast! Compared to directly swallowing the power of rules, the efficiency is countless times higher!"

After Xu Ming finished digesting the first universe chain, another Half-Sovereign summoned thirty Half-Sovereigns. Without saying a word, Xu Ming directly used "Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe" to help him break the universe chains on his body.

One by one, the universe chains on the bodies of the great figures were successively broken by Xu Ming.

Before long, more than half of the nearly hundred Half-Sovereigns had their one-star universe chains broken by Xu Ming.

"Isn't Xu Ming afraid of arousing the dissatisfaction of the universe's operating rules by wantonly swallowing universe chains like this?"

"Truly crazy! However, if Xu Ming does this, he can really quickly cultivate 'Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe'!"

…

Before long, the initial nearly hundred one-star universe chains were all broken by Xu Ming. At this time, the number of great figures near Nine Casting Mountain had exceeded ten thousand!

Of these ten thousand great figures, three thousand were summoned by the nearly hundred one-star universe chains; more were spread by word of mouth and came admiringly! After all, who wouldn't want to seize the opportunity to break the universe chains on their bodies?

Xu Ming nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad! As I expected, attracting great figures to come is not difficult!"

The newest novels are all on 6 9 Shuba first!

With strength, one can be so willful!

Moreover, Xu Ming was sure that as time went by, the great figures gathered would definitely become more and more! By then, Xu Ming would not have to worry about not having universe chains to eat, but only worry about not having time to eat!

After all… Xu Ming can only eat one-star universe chains now, and he can only eat one at a time, otherwise, he will have "indigestion."

"'Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe' is difficult to cultivate? Hmph! When I eat all the universe chains in the entire Stone Statue Forest, I don't believe I can't cultivate it well!" Xu Ming thought to himself.

…

Xu Ming didn't know yet that his reputation had already begun to quietly spread throughout the Stone Statue Forest.

Within the Stone Statue Forest, the great figures who received the news were all rushing towards Nine Casting Mountain.

"Nightmare-level universe chains, and he's also cultivating 'Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe'?—Hurry, hurry! This Xu Ming will probably break many, many universe chains! As long as we pay some price, it shouldn't be difficult to break the universe chains on our bodies!"

"That's right! Few people would recklessly break universe chains, after all, doing so would arouse the dissatisfaction of the universe's operating rules! But Xu Ming has nightmare-level universe chains, so he has nothing to fear!"

"Let's go quickly! If we go late, and Xu Ming is unwilling to break them, then we'll be depressed!"

"That's right! Hurry!!"

Originally, some great figures in the Stone Statue Forest had heard that Xu Ming had nightmare-level universe chains, but they didn't take it to heart, only feeling sorry for Xu Ming. But now, when they learned that Xu Ming had already cultivated 《Annihilation》 and 《Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe》, their attitude towards Xu Ming immediately became completely different!

After all, 《Annihilation》 and 《Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe》 are not easy to cultivate; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many great figures in the Stone Statue Forest still suppressed by universe chains.

And Xu Ming easily cultivated 《Annihilation》 to the fourth level.

As for 《Nine Castings of Swallowing the Universe》, merely entering the door is actually more difficult than cultivating 《Annihilation》 to the fourth level; and Xu Ming has also entered the door, and will probably soon reach the peak of the "First Casting."

Hey, three o'clock in the morning…
