Open up and break into another world

"That's Xu Ming?"

Unbeknownst to Xu Ming, just as his divine body was transforming and his defense was skyrocketing, preparing to truly begin cultivating the "Eternal World"... in the darkness, a gaze was fixed upon him.

This gaze belonged to the "Reincarnator," World尊 Qianji.

World尊 Qianji did not come in person—for a Reincarnator who had reincarnated thousands of times, "safety" was often more important than anything else. In fact, many times, World尊 Qianji would rather give up opportunities within reach to ensure his absolute safety.

What World尊 Qianji sent were the eighteen puppets he had crafted. Each puppet's strength had reached the pinnacle of the "Sixteenth Order."

"I can't see anything special about him!" World尊 Qianji muttered to himself in puzzlement as he observed. In his eyes, Xu Ming seemed quite ordinary.

After all, Xu Ming mainly cultivated the particle universe. To see through Xu Ming's extraordinary nature, one had to delve deep into every particle within Xu Ming's divine body to observe—but Xu Ming would not allow anyone's divine sense to penetrate the interior of his particles.

Therefore, almost no one could easily see Xu Ming's extraordinariness.

However, World尊 Qianji did not underestimate Xu Ming just because he looked ordinary. After all, he had long heard of Xu Ming's battle achievements, so he absolutely dared not underestimate him. In fact, World尊 Qianji did not even believe that the eighteen puppets he had sent could pose any threat to Xu Ming.

"Let me first test Xu Ming's strength!" World尊 Qianji thought as he directed the puppets to quietly surround Xu Ming.

"Hmm?" At this moment, Xu Ming finally noticed something.

"Puppets?" Xu Ming looked around in confusion. "Someone actually sent puppets to deal with me?"

The art of puppetry... among the many cultivation paths, could only be considered a minor "side path." This was because the strength of puppets at most reached the Great尊 level; it was impossible to refine puppets at the "World尊" level! After all... even top-tier Great尊s found it extremely difficult to become World尊s; how could a puppet become a World尊!

Precisely because he knew that a few mere puppets could not possibly deal with him, Xu Ming was very calm. He carefully observed his surroundings, wanting to find out who was controlling these puppets.

"The master of these puppets doesn't seem to be here at all!" Soon, Xu Ming confirmed that the puppets' master was not nearby. In that case, Xu Ming really couldn't determine who was dealing with him for the time being.

"Could it be that some World尊 wants to deal with me?" Xu Ming couldn't help but think. The strength of these puppets was clearly extraordinary! Those capable of refining such puppets were probably not Great尊s, but World尊s.

During the peaceful times of the Sea of the Universe, although World尊s could not enter the Sea of the Universe due to the restrictions of the Supreme Rules, it was not difficult to refine some puppets and send them into the Sea of the Universe.

"But... if World尊s were to deal with me, what benefits would it bring them?" Xu Ming wondered. "Moreover, these few puppets alone can't deal with me, right?"

What Xu Ming didn't know was that the World尊 who wanted to deal with him was not a World尊 from the Sea of the Universe, but a "Reincarnator" who was far more terrifying than ordinary Supreme World尊s.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

The eighteen puppets, realizing they had been exposed, stopped hiding and burst forth at full speed, besieging Xu Ming.

In the collisions, Xu Ming could easily sense the puppets' strength.

"However... the attacks of those Demon Abyss Great尊s could still tickle me! But these puppets' attacks can't even tickle me!"

These puppets were clearly stronger, but they couldn't even tickle Xu Ming! It could only be said that Xu Ming's defense had become much stronger!

A defense that made those below the World尊 level despair was not just talk!

Xu Ming was testing the strength of these puppets, but weren't these puppets also testing Xu Ming's strength?

After a moment of fighting—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

All the puppets scattered in all directions, fleeing rapidly.

"They ran?" Xu Ming did not give chase upon seeing this.

After all... Xu Ming had only become stronger in terms of defense, but his attack power had hardly improved. And killing a puppet was clearly more difficult than killing a Great尊 of the same level; puppets were refined from various precious materials, equivalent to humanoid weapons, and their defense was much stronger than that of Great尊s of the same level!

Even for Xu Ming, it was by no means easy to kill a puppet. Now that the eighteen puppets were scattered and fleeing, it would be good if Xu Ming could leave one or two behind, but it was meaningless.

"Forget it!" Xu Ming thought to himself, "Moreover... these puppets were clearly here to test my strength! I don't believe that the master behind these puppets won't have further actions!"

Xu Ming was very calm.

Testing?

Xu Ming was never afraid of testing!

Xu Ming's methods were not limited to his near-invincible defense!

"The master behind these puppets definitely won't come knocking for a while! I should cultivate the 'Eternal World' first!"

Before cultivating the "Eternal World," Xu Ming's defense was simply invincible; but once he opened up the "Eternal World," his strength would entirely step into the "World尊" level!

What did it mean to "entirely step into"?

It meant that even the weakest aspect would be at the "World尊" level!

Once Xu Ming opened up the "Eternal World," if these puppets dared to harass him again, they would definitely be gone for good!

...

And after testing Xu Ming's strength, World尊 Qianji also made some evaluations of Xu Ming.

"Indeed! Those reports were correct! Xu Ming's defense is very strong, unbelievably strong; but his attack and speed are both very ordinary, only at the ordinary 'Sixteenth Order' level!"

"Sixteenth Order" level attack and speed were definitely not weak below the World尊 level! They could definitely be called the top of the Sea of the Universe!

But in World尊 Qianji's view, these two aspects were Xu Ming's weaknesses! And fatal weaknesses!

"It's not afraid that he is very strong in one aspect! It's afraid that he has no weaknesses!" The corners of World尊 Qianji's mouth curled into a cold smile. An opponent with no weaknesses was the most difficult to deal with; but as long as there were weaknesses, he would have a way to deal with them!

"With Xu Ming's defense, it's difficult to kill him! But... suppressing and sealing him is not difficult!" In World尊 Qianji's view, if attack and speed were ordinary, then it would be easy to suppress and seal him. "As long as he is suppressed and sealed, can't I deal with him however I want?"

Soon, World尊 Qianji already had a plan in mind to suppress and seal Xu Ming.
