Open up and break into another world

“Huh?”

Xu Ming was stunned—had he been exposed?

“Impossible!” Xu Ming immediately became very certain. “The ‘disguise’ is flawless; even I think I’m the real Xiao Shengtian. How could he possibly discover any flaws!”

To discover flaws, there must first be flaws to discover!

However, Xu Ming’s disguise was completely without flaws!

These thoughts of Xu Ming’s only flashed through his mind.

Immediately afterward, Xu Ming glared at Gu Ao with an unfriendly expression and said, “Who I am? Are you really that unfamiliar with me?”

“Humph!” Gu Ao coldly snorted. “Still being stubborn! Xiao Shengtian is already dead; you’re definitely not Xiao Shengtian! Who exactly are you? Why haven't you removed your disguise yet!”

How did he know Xiao Shengtian was already dead?

Xu Ming was slightly startled—wasn’t the Seeking Dao Demonic Domain a secret realm? Wasn’t it said that if someone died in the secret realm, the life tablet outside wouldn’t be able to sense the death message? Could it be… that the Remnant Moon Sect has some special method of sensing life and death?

“Little Cheat!” Xu Ming asked, “If someone dies in a secret realm, is there a way for the outside world to sense it?”

The Little Cheat, this encyclopedia, directly replied, “There are ten thousand ways; do you need me to introduce them one by one?”

“I’ll go!” Xu Ming was speechless. “Looks like I was too naive… A top-tier Earth-grade force like the Remnant Moon Sect definitely sends disciples to various secret realms to venture out, so how could they not have any means of sensing life and death?”

“This time, I was really careless…” Xu Ming looked around.

At this time, a trapping formation had already been activated in the secret chamber, and Xu Ming was like a prisoner trapped in a cage.

Having fallen into such a situation, Xu Ming had undoubtedly failed in his disguise.

However, Xu Ming still stubbornly said, “I really am Xiao Shengtian! Gu Ao, are you jealous of my talent and trying to find an excuse to kill me!?”

“Acting!” Gu Ao sneered disdainfully. “Acting quite convincingly! Keep acting! I might as well tell you that the one who ordered your capture is Dao Lord Qingyuan!”

“Dao Lord Qingyuan?” Xu Ming was stunned.

“Imposter, you probably don’t know that Dao Lord Qingyuan is in charge of the Karma Hall within the sect!” Gu Ao sneered. “The Dao Lord has already determined through karma that Xiao Shengtian is dead! Therefore, you can’t possibly be Xiao Shengtian!”

“I am Xiao Sheng…”

Boom!!

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Ming suddenly erupted without warning!

Perfect Battle, activated!

Level 10 cross-level battle bonus, activated!

Protagonist Halo, activated!

Moreover, it should be known that during this period in the station, Xu Ming had found opportunities to use more than thirty drops of Dao Demon Essence!

Now, he had used a full ninety-nine drops of Dao Demon Essence and one Dao Demon Bead; his comprehension of the Intent Realm had naturally risen to another level.

In addition, this time, Xu Ming had once again launched a sudden sneak attack!

The terrifying Fire Intent on the spear spiraled into a ferocious fire dragon, striking Gu Ao’s chest squarely when he was completely unprepared.

“Die!?”

Xu Ming believed that under such a terrifying sneak attack, even a Spirit Peak Realm expert, if they didn’t have high-grade armor to protect them, would be instantly killed on the spot!

“This sneak attack seems a bit too smooth!”

However, Xu Ming didn’t mind it being so smooth!

Boom!!!

The power of the spear completely erupted!

Gu Ao was directly blasted away, slamming heavily into the trapping formation behind him.

“Looks like he’s indeed wearing high-grade armor!” Xu Ming thought to himself. “However, even so, the impact of this spear, completely vented on him, will definitely make him feel terrible!”

Take advantage of his weakness to take his life!

Xu Ming didn’t even look to see how badly Gu Ao was injured, and rushed forward with another spear.

Boom!!!

However, immediately afterward, Xu Ming was horrified to see that Gu Ao had actually used his palm to block the tip of his spear!

“Seeking death!” Xu Ming’s eyes revealed ferocity.

Using flesh and blood to block the tip of the spear, Xu Ming really doubted whether the other party’s brain was functioning properly!

“This spear is enough to cripple that hand of his!”

Boom!!!

The moment the spear tip collided with the palm, the power on the spear completely erupted! But Xu Ming felt as if he had struck something indestructible!

“This… this…”

Xu Ming was horrified to see that Gu Ao’s palm was completely unscathed!

“How is this possible!?” Xu Ming was completely shaken; he even forgot to press his advantage.

Accurately speaking, he didn’t have any “advantage” to press.

Because…

Gu Ao hadn’t suffered any injuries!

Yes, completely unscathed, not even a scratch!

“Boy…” Gu Ao slowly slid down the trapping formation to the ground. “Not bad, your timing for the sneak attack was very accurate! But unfortunately…”

“You… you’re not injured!?” Xu Ming couldn’t believe it.

“Injured?” Gu Ao sneered disdainfully. “I obtained the inheritance and trained the ‘Puppet Demon Body’. In the Seeking Dao Demonic Domain, no one can hurt me! Based on you, you want to injure me?”

“What?”

Xu Ming was horrified.

He hadn’t expected that the “Puppet Demon Body”, which he hadn’t thought much of, would be so strong! His full-force attack couldn’t even pierce a layer of Gu Ao’s skin; how was he supposed to fight this!

Xu Ming couldn’t help but probe.

The Little Cheat immediately provided feedback: “’Puppet Demon Body’, Heaven-grade Low-rank secret technique! When trained in the Spirit Realm, almost no one can break its defense; when trained in the Dao Realm, its defensive power greatly increases!”

In the Spirit Realm, almost no one can break its defense?

Xu Ming might doubt the power of the “Puppet Demon Body”, but he deeply believed in the Little Cheat’s probe.

Since almost no one in the Spirit Realm could break its defense, then Xu Ming believed that he couldn’t break it either—after all, his attack was still not as powerful as that of a powerful Spirit Peak Realm expert!

“This Puppet Demon Body is too strong…” Xu Ming thought to himself. “Once trained, it’s simply invincible in the Spirit Realm stage!”

Just like now, Xu Ming was facing Gu Ao with a headache—his attacks couldn’t break Gu Ao’s defense, and he had no way to deal with Gu Ao!

“Boy, just surrender!” Gu Ao grinned hideously. “You can’t escape, you can’t hurt me, and struggling is just futile!”

“Futile?” Xu Ming chuckled, without the slightest sense of urgency in his predicament. “Even if it’s futile, I’m quite interested in exchanging moves with you!”

Boom!!

Xu Ming actually charged up again.

“Courting death!” Gu Ao wasn’t afraid of getting hurt at all, so every move he made was only offensive and not defensive.

Soon, Xu Ming recognized reality—even without considering the Puppet Demon Body, if he only used the Fire Intent, there was indeed some gap between him and a Spirit Peak Realm expert.

“However… with my current strength, using both Fire and Water Intents, and activating a Level 10 cross-level battle bonus, I should be able to fight a Spirit Peak Realm expert!”

Of course, the premise was that the other party hadn’t trained the “Puppet Demon Body”.

He had clarified everything he wanted to clarify—

“Gu Ao, I’m not playing with you anymore; I’m leaving!” Xu Ming laughed.

“Leaving!?” Gu Ao sneered disdainfully. “I’ve already set up my trapping formation here; based on you, you want to escape from the formation in front of me?”

“Who said I was going to break the formation?” Xu Ming smiled strangely, and then…
