Open up and break into another world

Previously, when Fang Ping had just met Xu Ming, Xu Ming had said to him, “I've been in seclusion for too long. Now that I'm out, I have nothing to do. I'll just hang out with you and help you become a lucky Koi!”

At the time, Fang Ping didn't understand this sentence. Now, he finally knew what the words "lucky Koi" meant!

“Wolong Heavenly Supreme is actually an Upper Heavenly Supreme!” Fang Ping was dumbfounded. “I actually received the help of an Upper Heavenly Supreme without knowing it! I... I accidentally became a lucky Koi!”

Wasn't Fang Ping the standard "lucky Koi"?

Happiness came too suddenly, and Fang Ping was a little overwhelmed.

As for Desireless Heavenly Supreme, Cold Nether Heavenly Supreme, and the others, they were all surprised and scared—they had ridiculed Xu Ming quite a bit before in Desireless City and now that they had come to Thunder Annihilation Pavilion!

“The one we've been mocking is actually an Upper Heavenly Supreme...” Desireless Heavenly Supreme's eyes widened, filled with horror.

How could an Upper Heavenly Supreme be humiliated at will?

If Desireless Heavenly Supreme and the others were just horrified, then Ke Feng was really scared to death—in this short period of time, he had threatened Xu Ming more than once, saying he would "kill him."

Kill an Upper Heavenly Supreme?

Bang!

The weak Ke Feng, only a Earthly Supreme cultivation, was directly forced to kneel on the ground by Xu Ming's aura.

“Hiss—”

“What a terrifying aura!”

“Definitely an Upper Heavenly Supreme!”

In just this instant, no one in the audience questioned Xu Ming's cultivation—such a powerful aura was definitely a genuine Upper Heavenly Supreme!

“Brother Wolong!” Elder Thunder Bone said with a smile, “You're laughing at us! Let's talk in another place!”

Elder Thunder Bone no longer mentioned the matter of the direct disciple assessment—Xu Ming's strength was already on display here, who would have any objections to the outcome of the direct disciple assessment?

“Alright!” Xu Ming said with a smile.

Now that he had revealed his Upper Heavenly Supreme cultivation, he naturally had to have the bearing of an Upper Heavenly Supreme.

With that, Xu Ming ignored the others and walked towards the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion under the guidance of Elder Thunder Bone.

But just then—

“Wait!” One of the one-armed black-clothed experts among the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain suddenly said, “Elder Thunder Bone, the direct disciple assessment of your Thunder Annihilation Pavilion doesn't seem to say that Middle Heavenly Supremes can't challenge Upper Heavenly Supremes, right?”

“Hmm?” Elder Thunder Bone's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “What do you mean by this?”

The one-armed black-clothed expert grinned and said, “Our Ten Demons of Yin Mountain have been lying low for endless epochs, and we are fortunate enough to have our strength break through! This Wolong Heavenly Supreme, although he is an Upper Heavenly Supreme, but... we Ten Demons of Yin Mountain also boldly want to challenge him!”

“What!?”

Everyone's expressions changed upon hearing this.

“The Ten Demons of Yin Mountain actually dare to challenge an Upper Heavenly Supreme? Do they think that the ten of them joining hands can cross the gap between 'Middle Heavenly Supreme' and 'Upper Heavenly Supreme'?”

“Where does the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain get their courage from?”

“As far as I know, the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain have always acted cautiously! Why are they so bold this time?”

“It seems... the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain really have some tricks up their sleeves!”

“If the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain join forces and really have the strength of an Upper Heavenly Supreme! Then their reputation will definitely rise to another level!”

“Will Wolong Heavenly Supreme accept the challenge?”

“Wolong Heavenly Supreme will definitely accept the challenge! Otherwise, it would seem that he, an Upper Heavenly Supreme, is afraid of the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain!”

…

Ke Feng, who had just stood up from the ground, was originally extremely terrified, but at this time, a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes—if the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain really defeated Wolong Heavenly Supreme, then the winner of the direct disciple assessment would still be him! And he could also become an elder of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion!

In Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, the "elder status" and "deacon status" were completely different!

If Ke Feng could become an elder, even if his future cultivation didn't reach the Upper Heavenly Supreme level, his status in Thunder Annihilation Pavilion would still be very high! Moreover, if any expert dared to touch an elder of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, then they had to be prepared for Thunder Annihilation Pavilion's crazy revenge!

In other words, as long as Ke Feng could become an elder, then even if he had offended Xu Ming before, or even threatened Xu Ming repeatedly, it wouldn't be a problem!—Ke Feng didn't believe that this Wolong Heavenly Supreme, who didn't know where he came from, would dare to kill an elder of their Thunder Annihilation Pavilion!

Of course, the premise of all this was—Ke Feng could successfully win the assessment and become an elder of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion.

Anticipation rose in Ke Feng's eyes, but Fang Ping's eyes were filled with a bit of worry—just now, he thought he had become a lucky Koi; but now, the challenge of the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain undoubtedly added some variables to the assessment!

Of course, Fang Ping knew that the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain dared to challenge an Upper Heavenly Supreme, they must have some confidence! If they really succeeded in the challenge, then he, Fang Ping, would no longer be a lucky Koi!

“Brother Wolong...” Elder Thunder Bone looked at Xu Ming with some embarrassment, and at the same time, a bit of awkwardness—before, Elder Thunder Bone really didn't expect that the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain would dare to challenge an Upper Heavenly Supreme; therefore, Elder Thunder Bone directly announced the results of the assessment when he saw Xu Ming's cultivation. But now that the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain had launched a challenge, then according to the rules of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, Xu Ming had to accept the challenge; otherwise, it could only be judged that Fang Ping had failed in the assessment.

“Challenge me?” Xu Ming smiled. “Haven't you heard of my name, and feel that I, an Upper Heavenly Supreme, is easy to challenge? Challenging me is naturally no problem! But... since you want to step on me to make a name for yourself, then you must be prepared to fail the challenge and be killed by me!”

Xu Ming looked at the Ten Demons of Yin Mountain with a sneer: “Are you... ready to die?”
