Open up and break into another world

"However… I must hide myself well and not let others know that I started the rumor!"

Spreading rumors is risky!

Half-Emperor Chen Yan was worried that if Xu Ming found out that he had started the rumor, he would be beaten to death!

Moreover, even if Xu Ming wasn't beaten to death, if the experts from the seven major quadrants killed Xu Ming in the future, only to discover that Xu Ming was not a Nightmare-level Universe Chain; then, the blame would definitely fall on Half-Emperor Chen Yan!

So…

Spread rumors if you must, but be sure to keep it a secret!

Half-Emperor Chen Yan began to ponder how to spread the rumor.

…

Just as Half-Emperor Chen Yan was carefully spreading rumors everywhere…

Within the God-Demon Valley.

Xu Ming's strength continued to soar rapidly!

When Xu Ming first arrived at the Abyss Battlefield, he only had the strength of the "Thirteenth Order."

After devouring many four-star Universe Chains, Xu Ming's strength soared to the "Fourteenth Order."

After devouring many five-star Universe Chains, Xu Ming's strength soared to the "Fifteenth Order!"

And now… Xu Ming was already devouring seven-star Universe Chains, and his strength had already reached the "Seventeenth Order"!

Yes!

That's right!

Seventeenth Order!

Combat power that could be called invincible!

Even the "Abyss Envoys" within the Sunken Abyss, each with the combat power of an Upper Emperor, were far from being Xu Ming's opponents!

As for the "Suppressed Ones" within the Sunken Abyss, the strongest were only Middle Emperors, and most were only Lower Emperors; to Xu Ming, they posed no threat at all!

Of course, only Xu Ming himself knew about the soaring of his strength; other experts were completely unaware.

"Within this God-Demon Valley, I should be able to cultivate the 'Devouring Universe Nine Forges' to the Eighth Forge!" Xu Ming thought to himself.

But it was only the Eighth Forge…

To break the Nightmare-level Universe Chain, he needed to cultivate the "Devouring Universe Nine Forges" to the Ninth Forge. However, Xu Ming had no way to advance from the "Eighth Forge" to the "Ninth Forge."

Suddenly, Xu Ming, who was devouring the Universe Chain, received a message.

"Half-Emperor Lei Qiong?"

The message was from Half-Emperor Lei Qiong.

"Senior Xu Ming!" Half-Emperor Lei Qiong on the other end of the message asked, "Are you… a Nightmare-level Universe Chain!?"

Xu Ming was stunned upon hearing this—it was true that he was a Nightmare-level Universe Chain; but how did Half-Emperor Lei Qiong know?

Xu Ming had never mentioned this to anyone in the Sunken Abyss!

"Oh? Who did you hear that from!?" Xu Ming neither admitted nor denied it, letting Half-Emperor Lei Qiong guess for himself.

At the same time, Xu Ming was also a little puzzled—even if he was a Nightmare-level Universe Chain, why was Half-Emperor Lei Qiong's tone so urgent?

Half-Emperor Lei Qiong replied, "The entire Abyss Battlefield has spread the word, saying that you are a Nightmare-level Universe Chain!"

"What!?" Xu Ming was stunned again—the entire Abyss Battlefield had spread the word!?

"That's right!" Half-Emperor Lei Qiong added, "Not only do the experts in our Second Quadrant know that you are a Nightmare-level Universe Chain; even the experts in the other seven major quadrants think so!"

"This…" Xu Ming hadn't figured out what was going on.

Half-Emperor Lei Qiong continued, "Senior Xu Ming, I don't know if you really are a Nightmare-level Universe Chain, or if someone is deliberately spreading rumors… but please be careful!!"

"Careful?" Xu Ming couldn't help but ask, "Judging from what you're saying, my current situation is very dangerous!?"

"Yes!" Half-Emperor Lei Qiong said, "Logically speaking, you are a Thirteenth-Order expert, and there is almost nothing in the entire Abyss Battlefield that can threaten you! But this time is different…"

Half-Emperor Lei Qiong said solemnly, "In the Abyss Battlefield, the Nightmare-level Universe Chain means battle merits! The experts in the other eight major quadrants all want to kill the Nightmare-level Universe Chain in our Second Quadrant! And now… I'm not sure if you are a Nightmare-level Universe Chain; but many experts in the Abyss Battlefield probably already believe that you 'are'!"

"The pursuit of the seven major quadrants and countless experts! Even if you have the combat power of the 'Thirteenth Order,' I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the heavy encirclement!" Half-Emperor Lei Qiong said.

The latest and most complete novels are available at 69shuba!

"Then what should I do now?" Xu Ming asked deliberately.

"Regardless of whether you are a Nightmare-level Universe Chain or not, you can only avoid it for now! Go deep into the dark lands of the Abyss Battlefield, find a place to hide, and wait until this Abyss War is over!"

It had to be said that Half-Emperor Lei Qiong really came to remind Xu Ming. In his experience, the Nightmare-level Universe Chain could not leave the Abyss Battlefield before the end of the Abyss War; therefore, in his opinion, the wisest choice for Xu Ming, a "Thirteenth-Order" expert, was to "hide"!

It's just… Half-Emperor Lei Qiong didn't know that after three days of separation, Xu Ming's strength was no longer "Thirteenth-Order," but "Seventeenth-Order"!

Thirteenth Order and Seventeenth Order… The difference in strength between them was simply terrifying!

The pursuit of experts from the seven major quadrants?

To be honest, Xu Ming really didn't care at all, and didn't need to hide.

"Thank you!" However, Xu Ming still accepted Half-Emperor Lei Qiong's kindness. "If you are in trouble, you can send me a message, and I can help you once!"

After cutting off the message, Xu Ming continued to bury himself in devouring the seven-star Universe Chain.

"I'm afraid… no one would have thought that the master of the God-Demon Valley is me, right?" Xu Ming didn't plan to expose himself either. When he had devoured enough seven-star Universe Chains, and there was no more progress in the cultivation of the "Devouring Universe Nine Forges," it would be time to quietly leave the God-Demon Valley!

"The experts of the seven major quadrants are chasing me?" Xu Ming was not flustered at all, but rather looking forward to it.

You must know… In addition to devouring high-star Universe Chains and cultivating the "Devouring Universe Nine Forges," Xu Ming also had another thing to do when he entered the Abyss Battlefield: accumulate battle merits!

How to quickly accumulate battle merits?

It's very simple—kill experts from different quadrants!

The more you kill, the more battle merits you get!

Whenever Xu Ming wanted to "farm battle merits," he only needed to actively expose his location, and the experts from the seven major quadrants would run over like dogs to kill him! At that time, Xu Ming would be very comfortable farming battle merits!

"Nightmare-level Universe Chain? I am indeed…" Xu Ming curled his lips into a sneer, "But, want to use me to earn battle merits?—No matter how many people, no matter how strong… Hmph!"

Seventeenth-Order combat power was already absolutely invincible in sweeping the Abyss Battlefield!

Even if all the experts in the entire Abyss Battlefield came to encircle and kill Xu Ming at the same time, they would only be swept away and counter-killed!
