Open up and break into another world

“Otherwise… I’ll go to the future and kill you!” The Great Venerate of the Three Realms coldly snorted, “There are no traces of you in the past, but I don’t believe there won’t be any traces of you in the future!”

Xu Ming couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this: “You can’t kill the current me, so you think you can kill the future me?”

“Heh heh!” The Great Venerate of the Three Realms smiled mysteriously, “How much do you know about the mysteries of time? Of course… unless absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t want to pay the price to kill you in the future! I hope you don’t force me!”

“Then…” Xu Ming smiled, “Then I’ll force you one more time! I will continue to act on the remaining First Quadrant and Second Quadrant, cleaning up all the lackey forces! If you have the ability, go to the future and kill me!”

Whoosh—

As he spoke, Xu Ming ignored the Great Venerate of the Three Realms.

His billions of avatars, billions of Xu Mings, flew directly towards the Holy Realm of the First Quadrant.

“Good! Very good!” The Great Venerate of the Three Realms laughed in anger, “Since that’s the case… Xu Ming, I’ll go kill the future you right now! After killing you, I will come and tell you when your death date is! — How about it? Knowing when you will die and in what way, isn’t that a wonderful feeling?”

“Hmph!” As the Great Venerate of the Three Realms spoke, he directly strode through the River of Time and headed towards the future.

“Heh!” Xu Ming sneered and continued towards the Holy Realm.

…

Inside the Holy Realm.

The leaders of the various Emperor-level forces in the First Quadrant were somewhat surprised to see Xu Ming actually arrive at the Holy Realm: “Brother Xu Ming, are you alright?”

“What could possibly happen to me?” Xu Ming deliberately said.

“No, no, we don’t mean it that way!” Several leaders quickly said, “What we mean is… where is the Great Venerate of the Three Realms? Didn’t his true body descend into the Void Universe?”

“He descended!” Xu Ming said indifferently.

“Then… have you reconciled?” Several leaders asked again.

“No reconciliation!” Xu Ming’s tone remained calm.

No reconciliation! Yet Xu Ming was still standing here unharmed! — What did that mean?

It meant that even the Great Venerate of the Three Realms couldn’t do anything to Xu Ming!

“Hiss—” Thinking of this, several leaders gasped — even the Great Venerate’s true body descending into the Void Universe couldn’t do anything to Xu Ming! This Xu Ming was too terrifying, wasn't he?

Xu Ming was somewhat puzzled — why hadn’t the Great Venerate of the Three Realms returned yet?

After all, the Great Venerate of the Three Realms had confidently said he was going to the “future” to kill him; regardless of whether he could successfully kill him, he should be able to return to the “present” instantly — no matter how long the Great Venerate of the Three Realms experienced in the River of Time, for Xu Ming, that time should have only been an instant!

But why hadn’t the Great Venerate of the Three Realms returned yet?

Harboring doubts, Xu Ming directly mobilized the army of the First Quadrant — regardless of what the future held, he would first clean up the lackey forces of the First Quadrant!

Under Xu Ming’s mobilization, billions of armies marched towards the billions of “Heavens” of the First Quadrant.

And then…

Until Xu Ming's billions of avatars had destroyed the small universes of the billions of lackey forces and uprooted all the lackey forces of the entire First Quadrant… the Great Venerate of the Three Realms still hadn’t returned!

“Could it be that the Great Venerate of the Three Realms got lost in the River of Time?” Xu Ming couldn’t help but think.

Xu Ming hadn’t been able to truly travel through the River of Time with his own strength; therefore, he didn’t know if anyone could get lost in the River of Time.

“It’s time to leave!”

Now that the lackey forces of the First Quadrant had been cleaned up, Xu Ming no longer needed to stay here. He left a spatial coordinate point in the Holy Realm and prepared to leave.

However, just then, a voice transmission suddenly rang in Xu Ming’s mind: “Xu Ming, I am the Lord of the Fallen Demons!”

“What!?” Xu Ming couldn’t help but be stunned, “The Great Venerate of the Three Realms… has fallen?”

The Great Venerate of the Three Realms hadn’t confidently said he was going to the future to kill him?

How could he have fallen?

“Yes!” The Lord of the Fallen Demons continued, “He entered the River of Time not long ago, he shouldn’t have reached the distant future, and he directly fell!”

“This…” Xu Ming was somewhat surprised, “Do you know how he fell?”

“I don’t know!” The Lord of the Fallen Demons shook his head and said, “I only know that the Great Venerate of the Three Realms fell almost instantly, without any power to resist! It seems he encountered some existence he couldn’t contend with!”

An existence that even a Great Venerate couldn’t contend with!?

Upon hearing this, Xu Ming was silent for a while: “Lord of the Fallen Demons, have you, and the other Great Venerates, not gone to the future to see how the Great Venerate of the Three Realms fell?”

“Haha!” The Lord of the Fallen Demons laughed twice and said, “We don’t dare to go!”

“Don’t dare to go?” Xu Ming was puzzled.

In Xu Ming’s view, the Great Venerates were already existences standing at the peak of the entire universe, so was there anything that could make them afraid?

“Xu Ming, you don’t know!” The Lord of the Fallen Demons said lightly, “The future… is full of infinite variables and endless crises! The future in the River of Time is even more dangerous than the real future!”

Xu Ming seemed to understand.

The Lord of the Fallen Demons continued: “Even existences at our level of Great Venerates don’t dare to easily travel to the future, because… we don’t know what dangers we will encounter in the future of the River of Time! Some dangers that are not very dangerous to us in the ‘normal’ future, might be amplified many times or even become fatal in the future of the River of Time! So now… the Great Venerate of the Three Realms has fallen in the future of the River of Time, so how dare we go and see what happened…”

Every Great Venerate knew that the Great Venerate of the Three Realms had fallen, and they were all curious about how he had fallen, but… not a single Great Venerate dared to risk their lives and go to the future; after all, curiosity killed the cat.

In this way…

The fall of the Great Venerate of the Three Realms became a mystery.

“However…” The Lord of the Fallen Demons said again, “The Great Venerate of the Three Realms seems to have fallen in the very near future of the River of Time, we should be able to know how the Great Venerate of the Three Realms fell if we wait a little longer!”

“Mm!” Xu Ming nodded secretly.

However, Xu Ming wasn’t actually very curious about how the Great Venerate of the Three Realms had fallen. Xu Ming was more secretly pleased — serves him right!

At this time, the Lord of the Fallen Demons said again: “Xu Ming, you have traveled through the seven anomalous quadrants, you should be preparing to return to the Second Quadrant soon, right?”

“Yes!” Xu Ming said.

The Lord of the Fallen Demons said: “After returning to the Abyss of the Fallen Demons in the Second Quadrant, go directly to find the Fallen Demon Envoy, he will bring you to see me! — Perhaps I can break the Nightmare-level Cosmic Chains on your body!”

The Lord of the Fallen Demons only said “perhaps.”
