Open up and break into another world

“The Gate of the Abyss has been opened! Please proceed to the Abyss Battlefield immediately!”

Xu Ming, who had finished his cultivation, immediately stood up.

“Abyss Battlefield… it’s finally open?” Xu Ming’s eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

He needed battle merits!

As long as he had enough battle merits, he could exchange them for various treasures within the City of Depravity; he could even request the Depraved Demon Lord to personally help break the cosmic chains on his body—like Xu Ming, who had no clue how to break the cosmic chains on his body. Perhaps, he could only find a way to ask the Depraved Demon Lord for help.

However, the battle merits required to request the Depraved Demon Lord to break the cosmic chains were undoubtedly extremely terrifying! To obtain such a large number of battle merits, he could only go to the Abyss Battlefield.

“Abyss Battlefield?” Besides fighting spirit, there was also disdain in Xu Ming’s eyes.

The opponents in the Abyss Battlefield were all experts from “different quadrants.” However, those who could enter the Abyss Battlefield could only be at most Half-Venerable cultivation; for Xu Ming, fighting against opponents of this level was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

Xu Ming was naturally qualified to feel disdain for the opponents in the Abyss Battlefield.

“Let’s go!”

Xu Ming transformed into a stream of light and headed straight for the Gate of the Abyss.

…

The Gate of the Abyss was just outside the City of Depravity.

It seemed small, but the space-time near the Gate of the Abyss was severely distorted; the closer he flew, the larger the Gate of the Abyss became!

When Xu Ming approached the Gate of the Abyss, he even felt that this Gate of the Abyss was much larger than the entire City of Depravity!

“Enter!”

Xu Ming entered the Gate of the Abyss without hesitation. At the same time, he began to recall some of the rules within the Abyss Battlefield.

The Abyss Battlefield was vast and boundless, even larger than the “Desperate Heaven” where Xu Ming came from.

Within the Abyss Battlefield, there were various places of opportunity, containing many treasures and chances. If one killed experts from different quadrants, they could also obtain considerable battle merits.

Whoosh—

After passing through the Gate of the Abyss, Xu Ming felt the surrounding space-time changing rapidly; every moment felt like traversing billions of territories.

Such drastic changes in space-time naturally contained extremely terrifying spatial tears; if one were weaker, even their divine body would be directly torn apart.

The flow of time was erratic, and he didn’t know how long it had passed…

Pfft!

Xu Ming finally completely passed through the Gate of the Abyss and entered the Abyss Battlefield.

“This is…?” Xu Ming looked at the scene before him with some shock.

Behind him was the Gate of the Abyss; entering it would return him to the City of Depravity. Around him were one hundred and eight incredibly huge light towers, each taller than ten thousand worlds, ferocious and magnificent.

And directly in front of Xu Ming was a crystal pillar only as tall as a person, emitting endless vitality.

Xu Ming didn’t notice that the moment he entered, a color suddenly appeared inside this crystal pillar. This color represented that a “Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain” had entered the Abyss Battlefield.

Buzz—

Suddenly, a sound that was both grand and formless directly resounded in Xu Ming’s mind.

“Welcome to the Abyss Battlefield!”

“The enemy in this battlefield is the Eighth Quadrant! Experts from the other six quadrants can freely choose a camp to assist!”

The vast universe is divided into eight quadrants.

“Destroying the crystal pillar of the Eighth Quadrant will grant merits to all participating experts and supporters from the entire Second Quadrant!”

Listening to the voice resounding in his mind, Xu Ming looked towards the depths of the Abyss Battlefield, the corners of his mouth slightly curving into a smile: “Abyss Battlefield… the killing field for the most top-notch geniuses below the Venerable realm!”

Xu Ming suddenly felt—the universe was truly cruel!

Yes!

Truly cruel!

Countless billions of eras, countless billions upon billions of experts and geniuses, fell and perished in one killing field after another. How many could ultimately reach the end of cultivation? How many could live until the end of the universe?

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

In the universe, whether weak or strong, the end seems to be only two words: death!

Everything will vanish, only death is eternal!

Even someone as strong as Gu Hanmo, who had likely already reached the peak of cultivation, still couldn’t escape the entanglement of death.

“The universe doesn’t seem to be a paradise for all living beings, but a slaughterhouse… All living beings, from the moment they are born, are heading towards death!”

At this moment, Xu Ming couldn’t help but feel a little lost: “Then… where exactly is the meaning of life?”

Born for death?

Suddenly, Xu Ming’s whole body shook violently, and endless sharpness erupted from his eyes: “If the universe is truly a slaughterhouse for all living beings, then what harm is there in… breaking open the universe!?”

At the same time that a sharp light burst out from Xu Ming’s eyes, the entire world seemed to be trembling; in the depths of the void, endless cosmic chains seemed to want to suppress Xu Ming! But… Xu Ming already had Nightmare-level cosmic chains on his body, so even if the will of the universe was angry, there was nothing it could do to Xu Ming.

“Heh!” Xu Ming couldn’t help but laugh, “The universe… is nothing!”

…

What Xu Ming didn’t know was that not long after he entered the Abyss Battlefield, the entire universe, all eight quadrants, were shaken!

The experts from the Eighth Quadrant, who had just entered the Abyss Battlefield, all stared in shock at the endless distance in the sky—at the end of the black sky, there was a bright star constantly flickering, precisely pointing towards the crystal pillar of the Second Quadrant.

“Hmm? The crystal pillar of the Second Quadrant…”

The experts from the Eighth Quadrant looked at the changes in the flickering of this bright star and all discovered the anomaly: “The Second Quadrant… has a ‘Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain’ entered the Abyss Battlefield!?”

Nightmare-level Cosmic Chains have a special color as their representation, which can be clearly seen on the crystal pillar and the bright star in the night sky.

However, when the experts from the Eighth Quadrant saw the special color representing the “Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain,” they didn’t show the slightest panic, but instead were filled with surprise.

“Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain? It can only represent that the cosmic chains suppressing him are very strong, but it doesn’t explain his own strength! But… if we can kill a Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain, the rewarded battle merits will be an unbelievable number!”

“That’s right! Don’t even mention personally killing him! Even just slightly assisting from the side, the rewarded battle merits will be incredibly amazing! Even… we don’t even need to participate in the battle, as long as we enter the Abyss Battlefield, there will be battle merit rewards!”

“Check it out! Quickly find out who the Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain is! In this Abyss War, nothing else is important, as long as we can kill the person with the Nightmare-level Cosmic Chain, everyone in our entire Eighth Quadrant will make a fortune!”
