Open up and break into another world

Deep within the Purple Cloud Pavilion, there were numerous independent secluded cultivation spaces.

Within a certain silent space-time, sharp ice swords condensed and filled the entire area.

These ice swords were not ordinary ice swords, but were formed by the freezing of time and space—each ice sword contained a frozen piece of space-time! If billions of ice swords were to erupt simultaneously, the power would be unimaginable!

Icepeak Sovereign was situated amidst billions of ice swords, his state of mind as silent as this space-time.

Silence.

Etherealness.

Icepeak Sovereign's mind was also undergoing transformation within this silent etherealness.

“The cultivation technique I practice allows my strength to rapidly transform! It's just a pity… the only flaw of this technique is that it will never be possible to cultivate to the peak of the Constraint Three Realms, and it is impossible to touch the 'absolute boundary' of the illusory universe!”

But for Icepeak Sovereign, he was already very satisfied to have achieved his current accomplishments!

“Improvement…”

“Transformation…”

Boom crack!!!

A tremendous impact suddenly shook the entire space-time.

Icepeak Sovereign's state of mind was instantly disrupted, and billions of ice swords shattered one after another; the originally silent space-time instantly became chaotic.

“Pfft!!”

Icepeak Sovereign violently spat out a mouthful of black blood, and even his cultivation seemed to have declined somewhat.

“What's going on!?” Icepeak Sovereign's expression was unsightly—being forcibly interrupted during secluded cultivation was a major taboo!

“Pavilion Master!?” Soon, Icepeak Sovereign saw the person who had interrupted his secluded cultivation—it was none other than the Purple Cloud Pavilion Master.

“Icepeak!” The Purple Cloud Pavilion Master's voice sounded indifferent, “Why did you isolate all communications?”

The reason why Xu Ming attacked the Purple Cloud Pavilion was somewhat related to Icepeak Sovereign; therefore, upon seeing Icepeak Sovereign, the Purple Cloud Pavilion Master's expression was not very pleasant. Especially since Icepeak Sovereign had completely isolated communications, which made the Purple Cloud Pavilion Master even more annoyed, and he even broke through his own seclusion.

“What is it, Pavilion Master? Could it be that something major has happened!?” Icepeak Sovereign was somewhat puzzled—the reason he had isolated communications was because he had been interrupted several times by the Extinction Sky Sect Master's messages. He didn't expect that now, the Purple Cloud Pavilion Master would actually break through his seclusion and enter.

The Purple Cloud Pavilion Master said coldly: “Your enemy has come knocking on your door!”

“Enemy? Xu Ming?” Icepeak Sovereign was somewhat baffled—in his opinion, if Xu Ming came knocking on his door, then so be it! Was this such a big deal that the Purple Cloud Pavilion Master had to personally break through his seclusion?

Since when… had the Purple Cloud Pavilion become so spineless?

“That's right, it's Xu Ming!” The Purple Cloud Pavilion Master said coldly.

“Pavilion Master!” Icepeak Sovereign asked in confusion, “Are we, a dignified Emperor-ranked force, afraid of a mere Xu Ming?”

The Purple Cloud Pavilion Master's expression was somewhat strange, and he said: “Our Purple Cloud Pavilion… is no longer an Emperor-ranked force! Now, the Nine Heavens Holy Land is the Emperor-ranked force!”

“What!?” Icepeak Sovereign was stunned.

“Also…” The Purple Cloud Pavilion Master continued, “If it were just one Xu Ming, our Purple Cloud Pavilion would indeed not be afraid! But now it's not 'one Xu Ming', but 'hundreds of millions of Xu Mings'…”

Hundreds of millions of clones!

And all of them with Constraint Two Realms strength!

No matter which Emperor-ranked force it was, they would probably despair!

“You should go out and clarify your grievances!” The Purple Cloud Pavilion Master said indifferently.

… …

The grievances between the Nine Heavens Holy Master and Icepeak Sovereign were actually nothing much.

It was just that when Icepeak Sovereign was still weak, he wanted to join the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but was rejected and humiliated by the Nine Heavens Holy Master; however, at that time, Icepeak Sovereign was not yet called Icepeak Sovereign, but had another name.

Later, Icepeak Sovereign's strength soared, even reaching the Constraint Three Realms; when he had nothing to do, he naturally wanted to humiliate the Nine Heavens Holy Master in return.

Xu Ming was too lazy to pay attention to these personal grievances.

After Xu Ming conquered the Purple Cloud Pavilion, he directly held the Emperor Token and arrived at the “Imperial Court”—the only Emperor-ranked force in the entire Eighth Quadrant!

Beside the space-time round table, symbolizing the highest authority in the Eighth Quadrant, there were only five seats. Xu Ming and the controllers of the other three Emperor-ranked forces were all seated; there was also another seat, but it was empty—this seat was for a certain expert from the True Universe; however, under normal circumstances, that True Universe expert would not descend to the illusory universe, unless there was some major matter that could not be decided.

“Brother Xu Ming is truly skilled!”

“With his own strength, he actually conquered an Emperor-ranked force!”

“Brother Xu Ming is holding the Emperor Token and summoning us here, is there something you need? —Since there is something, then let's get straight to the point!”

Xu Ming smiled and looked at the controllers of the three Emperor-ranked forces, and said: “There is indeed something!”

Pa!

Xu Ming directly placed his Emperor Token on the space-time round table: “I want to mobilize all the Imperial Court Guards! I hope you can support me!”

To mobilize all the Imperial Court Guards, the consent of three or more Emperor Tokens is required. Xu Ming already had one in his hand, so he still needed the consent of two Emperor Tokens.

“Mobilize all the Imperial Court Guards?”

“This is not a child's play! Perhaps, it will plunge the entire Eighth Quadrant into misery!”

“I'm afraid… the Imperial Court Guards will also suffer heavy losses, right?”

The leaders of the Qitian Pavilion and the other three Emperor-ranked forces all expressed their concerns.

“Don't worry!” Xu Ming said indifferently, “It won't cause heavy losses to the Imperial Court Guards, nor will it plunge the Eighth Quadrant into misery! It's just to help me eliminate some enemies! —However, my enemies' forces are spread throughout the entire Eighth Quadrant, and only by mobilizing the Imperial Court Guards on a large scale can they be wiped out in one fell swoop!”

“Brother Xu Ming, who are your enemies…?” Pavilion Master Qitian asked.

“No need to ask more!” Xu Ming's posture was incomparably domineering, “You just need to agree!”

“Hiss—” The leaders of the three Emperor-ranked forces all changed their expressions—they were, after all, the existences standing at the peak of the Eighth Quadrant, and they also wanted face! And Xu Ming's words were too disrespectful to them!

Before the three of them could speak.

Xu Ming continued: “You can disagree! —If you disagree, I can just spend a little more effort and conquer you like I conquered the Purple Cloud Pavilion; then, I will control the Emperor Token myself!”

Xu Ming's meaning was very simple—agree, and everything will be fine; disagree, and I will snatch your Emperor Token!

Domineering!

Incomparably domineering!

The leaders of the Qitian Pavilion and the other three Emperor-ranked forces all had extremely unsightly expressions—the three of them had already stood at the peak of the Eighth Quadrant, and when had they ever suffered such humiliation? However, Xu Ming's clones were too terrifying, and they had no choice but to submit!

Submit, and everything will be fine, you will still be an Emperor-ranked force!

If you don't submit, then I will conquer you!

As for whether this is too bullying?

That's right! Xu Ming is bullying people!

With an incomparably domineering posture and thunderous means, he seized control of the Imperial Court Guards!

“Alright, make your own choices!” Xu Ming said indifferently.
