Open up and break into another world

The Liberation Battle Stage.

After Xia Yang Half-Emperor left, almost none of the watching Grand Elders departed. Because, Xu Ming hadn't arrived yet!

Everyone wanted to see what the demeanor of a "Thirteenth-Order" powerhouse was like; moreover… the Abyss Battlefield was about to open soon, and everyone wanted to build a good relationship with Xu Ming, this super existence. After all, with Xu Ming's strength, he would definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the Abyss Battlefield; if they built a good relationship with Xu Ming, they might even get a helping hand if they encountered difficulties in the Abyss Battlefield!

"A Thirteenth-Order powerhouse… is simply invincible in the Abyss Battlefield!"

"Isn't that right! In the Abyss Battlefield, it's not easy to kill even an Eleventh-Order powerhouse; how can a Thirteenth-Order powerhouse be killed? It's impossible to kill them!"

"After entering the Abyss Battlefield, if you can follow behind Xu Ming, then earning merit points will be really…"

"Stop daydreaming! How could Xu Ming possibly need teammates? A Thirteenth-Order powerhouse! Even if an Eleventh-Order powerhouse wanted to be his teammate, they probably wouldn't be qualified!"

"With Xu Ming around, we should definitely win this time's Abyss Battlefield battle against the Eighth Quadrant!"

"It's good as long as we can win! Even if my strength is weak and I can't kill any alien quadrant powerhouses; as long as we can win the battle, we can still get a lot of merit points!"

……

Just as the powerhouses were discussing.

Whoosh——

Bang!!

Suddenly, a parabola streaked across, and a figure slammed heavily onto the Liberation Battle Stage.

"Hmm?"

Everyone was stunned.

"This is…?"

"Xia Yang Half-Emperor!?"

"Didn't Xia Yang Half-Emperor already flee without a fight? Why is he back again!?"

"No, that's not right——Xia Yang Half-Emperor seems to have been thrown in by someone?"

"Thrown in? Are you joking? With Xia Yang Half-Emperor's strength, who can throw him in?"

……

Step!!

A figure stepped onto the Liberation Battle Stage.

This figure was unfamiliar to most powerhouses. His aura was cold, yet it exuded an unquestionable dominance; compared to him, Xia Yang Half-Emperor was like dust compared to the stars.

"This is…?"

"Did he throw Xia Yang Half-Emperor in?"

"Who is he!?"

Only a few, like Lei Qiong Half-Emperor, murmured in horror: "Xu Ming…"

Xu Ming!?

"He's Xu Ming!?"

"How could Xia Yang Half-Emperor be with him, and even be thrown in by him?"

The Grand Elders were all confused.

At this moment, Xia Yang Half-Emperor scrambled to his feet and shouted repeatedly: "I concede! I concede!"

Conceding was definitely necessary!

The gap in strength between him and Xu Ming was obvious; if he didn't concede, he would only humiliate himself; and if he wasn't careful, he might even be slapped to death on the battle stage by Xu Ming…

He had to be cowardly when he needed to be!

"Concede? Hmph!" Xu Ming sneered and walked off the battle stage.

After Xu Ming left, the other Grand Elders dared to come up and ask Xia Yang Half-Emperor.

Xia Yang Half-Emperor was surrounded in the middle of the crowd, and said with a sad and painful expression: "I… I met someone asking for directions, who would have thought that person asking for directions was Xu Ming! I revealed my identity, and he found out that I fled without a fight, so he forcibly dragged me back to the battle stage…"

Xia Yang Half-Emperor's face had a big "unlucky" written all over it.

The other Grand Elders also shook their heads upon hearing this: "Miserable!"

"Truly miserable!"

"This is indeed miserable enough!"

"Too unlucky!"

Xia Yang Half-Emperor was just in pain——what else could he say?

Just then, Lei Qiong Half-Emperor's voice suddenly rang out: "Xia Yang Half-Emperor!"

"Oh? Lei Qiong? What is it?" Xia Yang Half-Emperor said indifferently——facing Xu Ming, Xia Yang Half-Emperor was as humble as a dog; but facing Lei Qiong Half-Emperor, Xia Yang Half-Emperor was still very arrogant!

After all, in Xia Yang Half-Emperor's view, he was an old-fashioned "Eleventh-Order" powerhouse, while Lei Qiong Half-Emperor was at most a newly promoted "Eleventh-Order"! In front of Lei Qiong Half-Emperor, Xia Yang Half-Emperor naturally still had to put on airs.

Lei Qiong Half-Emperor ignored Xia Yang Half-Emperor's state and went straight to the point: "Xia Yang Half-Emperor, I have already challenged you, why haven't you accepted the challenge? If you ask me, don't dawdle, there's no time like the present, why don't we have a battle today!"

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Oh?" Xia Yang Half-Emperor naturally saw that the other party was forcing him! If he didn't accept the challenge today, he would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire City of Fallen!

"Lei Qiong!" Xia Yang Half-Emperor adopted an arrogant posture, "Originally, I saw that you had just broken through to the Eleventh-Order, and wanted to give you some time to improve your cultivation, and then accept your challenge! But fine, since you are so eager to be defeated, then I will grant you a defeat——I accept your challenge!"

At this moment, Xia Yang Half-Emperor's posture as an expert was fully revealed, as if he had forgotten that he had just been thrown onto the battle stage by Xu Ming like a dog.

"Good!!" Lei Qiong Half-Emperor's fighting spirit was soaring.

……

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Xia Yang Half-Emperor knelt in a corner of the battle stage, in a state of utter disarray.

Lei Qiong Half-Emperor stood proudly in the center of the battle stage, his aura overwhelming.

Yes, Xia Yang Half-Emperor… was defeated!

Now, Xia Yang Half-Emperor, who had been humiliated one after another, finally dared not pretend anymore!

Not only did he not dare to pretend, Xia Yang Half-Emperor simply wanted to cry: "It's really too bullying…"

"Xia Yang Half-Emperor!" Lei Qiong Half-Emperor said indifferently, "You can't even beat me, yet you dared to challenge Senior Xu Ming, it's really asking for humiliation! If you had seen Senior Xu Ming's true strength, then don't even talk about challenging him, I'm afraid you would be trembling when facing Senior Xu Ming…"

Lei Qiong Half-Emperor couldn't help but recall Xu Ming's destructive, invincible posture in the Abyss Battlefield.

Xia Yang Half-Emperor secretly shed tears in his heart: "Blame me for being too ignorant!"

……

After Xu Ming left the Liberation Battle Stage, he began to bury himself in cultivating the *Devouring Universe Nine Forges*.

Xu Ming wanted to first thoroughly understand this secret technique, so that when he devoured enough cosmic chains in the future, he could naturally improve. Otherwise, if he didn't even understand the secret technique, then even if he devoured enough cosmic chains in the future, he would have to come back and comprehend the secret technique again.

Fortunately, cultivating the *Devouring Universe Nine Forges* was not difficult! At least, it was not difficult for Xu Ming!

Before long, Xu Ming had completely understood the *Devouring Universe Nine Forges*.

"All that's left is the cosmic chains!"

In Xu Ming's view, there should be no problem for him to cultivate the *Devouring Universe Nine Forges* to the "Seventh Forge"! At that time, even if he couldn't break the nightmare-level cosmic chains, at least Xu Ming's strength would reach a terrifying level!

Just then…

Boom!!!

The entire Sunken Abyss trembled.

An infinitely vast and majestic voice directly resounded in the hearts of every Grand Elder.

"The Gate of the Abyss has opened! Please proceed to the Abyss Battlefield immediately!"
