Open up and break into another world

“Phoenix Empress, why have you returned? And… what about Supreme Wolong?”

The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion was somewhat surprised to see Phoenix Empress return with Supreme Xuan Ying—wasn't Phoenix Empress supposed to be with Supreme Wolong? Why is she back with Supreme Xuan Ying now?

“Pavilion Lord…” Phoenix Empress looked at the Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, a hint of awkwardness on her face. “Your Gambit Plan… has failed!”

“Failed?” The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion was taken aback. “Could it be that Supreme Wolong's strength isn't strong enough, and he hasn't actually reached the 'Top-tier High-level Supreme' level? —Right, where is Supreme Wolong? He hasn't fallen, has he?”

“No!” Phoenix Empress shook her head. “It's not that Supreme Wolong's strength isn't strong enough! Although I haven't seen Supreme Wolong in action, his strength should be fine! It's just… the Kun Peng Clan's experts all know that Supreme Wolong is a 'Top-tier High-level Supreme'!”

“What?” The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion was stunned.

“We encountered several waves of enemies! Each wave of enemies initially charged at us; however, when they clearly saw Supreme Wolong, they all turned tail and ran!” Phoenix Empress continued, “We in the alliance treat Supreme Wolong's strength as a secret! But, within the Kun Peng Clan, everyone knows his strength…”

“That's right—” The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion nodded. “Recently, the Kun Peng Clan's experts have suffered heavy losses!”

“Hmm?” Phoenix Empress was somewhat puzzled. “The Kun Peng Clan has suffered heavy losses? That's a good thing for us! —Pavilion Lord, is that why you're looking for me?”

“A good thing is certainly a good thing!” The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion said, “But… the Kun Peng Clan's losses are beyond your imagination!”

“Could it be that a High-level Supreme team has been annihilated?” Phoenix Empress couldn't help but ask.

Within the Kun Peng Battlefield, if one side has a High-level Supreme team completely wiped out, that would be considered heavy losses! After all, a High-level Supreme team usually has three or more High-level Supremes!

“More than that!” The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion said calmly.

“More than that?” Phoenix Empress was even more astonished. “Could it be two teams?”

“Far more than that!” The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion shook his head. “The Kun Peng Clan has lost many High-level Supreme teams, as well as five Top-tier High-level Supremes! And what's even more terrifying is… they don't even know who the culprit is!”

“What!?” Phoenix Empress was shocked.

Many High-level Supreme teams?

Five Top-tier High-level Supremes?

Even for a powerful clan like the Kun Peng Clan, such losses would be crippling, right?

Even though the Kun Peng Battlefield has existed for endless years, the losses accumulated by the Kun Peng Clan probably aren't much greater than this single incident!

Therefore, just as the Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion said: the Kun Peng Clan's losses are beyond your imagination!

It truly is beyond imagination.

However, the intelligent Phoenix Empress quickly realized something terrifying—why would the Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion specifically come to find her?

“Pavilion Lord, do you mean that… the Kun Peng Clan's heavy losses are actually caused by 'Supreme Wolong'?” Phoenix Empress couldn't help but exclaim.

“I only have some suspicions!” The Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion said, “Quickly tell me, where did you and Supreme Wolong separate?”

Phoenix Empress quickly described the route she had taken within the Kun Peng Battlefield.

After listening, the Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion couldn't help but smile wryly. He discovered that—the locations where those Kun Peng Clan experts had fallen were all along the extension of the route Phoenix Empress had taken!

Now, the Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion could almost confirm that the mysterious expert who had crippled the Kun Peng Clan, the one who had made the Kun Peng Clan's experts afraid to venture out, was Supreme Wolong!

And Phoenix Empress, after hearing about "Xu Ming's" achievements, couldn't help but murmur in a daze: “Too strong… is this still within the scope of a 'Top-tier High-level Supreme'?”

Phoenix Empress and the Lord of Thunder Annihilation Pavilion exchanged a glance, and the two couldn't help but exclaim in unison: “Half-step Great Lord?”

… …

Xu Ming knew that his series of crazy massacres would definitely shock both the Kun Peng Clan and the alliance. However, Xu Ming didn't expect that others would mistakenly believe that he had the strength of a "Half-step Great Lord"!

What is a Half-step Great Lord?

That is, even when facing a Great Lord, they have a way to save their lives!

Moreover…

In the True Universe, the number of "Half-step Great Lords" is even rarer than "Great Lords"!

In the True Universe's Eight Great Territories, there might not even be one "Half-step Great Lord" in a single territory!

Moreover…

The strength of a Half-step Great Lord, although not as good as a Great Lord, a Great Lord will be subject to many suppressions from the rules of the universe's operation; therefore, Great Lords will instead have many places where they need to ask Half-step Great Lords!

Sometimes, Great Lords even have to humbly ask Half-step Great Lords for help—it can be seen how high the status of Half-step Great Lords is in the True Universe!

Moreover…

Under normal circumstances, Half-step Great Lords would not appear in the Kun Peng Battlefield. Because… Half-step Great Lords disdain coming to such places!

Therefore, even though the Kun Peng Clan suffered heavy losses, when they guessed that the mysterious expert in the Kun Peng Battlefield was likely a "Half-step Great Lord", they didn't have the slightest thought of revenge; instead, they immediately reported this situation to Great Lord Kun Yu.

And Great Lord Kun Yu, after hearing about this situation, didn't have the slightest idea of revenge either; instead, he immediately set off for the Kun Peng Battlefield, wanting to befriend that mysterious "Half-step Great Lord".

Befriending a "Half-step Great Lord" is too important for a Great Lord!

A Great Lord, if they don't have a good relationship with any "Half-step Great Lord", then their situation is very dangerous! —And the reason why the Kun Peng Clan has declined to its current state is also greatly related to the fact that the Kun Yu Clan doesn't have the support of a "Half-step Great Lord"!

As for the alliance, after guessing that "Supreme Wolong" was likely a "Half-step Great Lord", their reaction wasn't much different from the Kun Peng Clan—they immediately reported this situation to the "Great Lord Gu Hai" behind the alliance.

Great Lord Gu Hai, after hearing that there was a suspected "Half-step Great Lord", had the same reaction as Great Lord Kun Yu—he immediately set off for the Kun Peng Battlefield!

Great Lord Gu Hai also urgently needs the support of a "Half-step Great Lord"!
