Open up and break into another world

Buzz—

A strange wave of the origin of the Heavenly Dao descended, and Xu Ming's entire body and mind were enveloped in the ocean of the origin of wind.

“This is the baptism of the origin of wind!”

The baptism of the Heavenly Dao is only a momentary thing.

In an instant, Xu Ming's physical body and soul were branded with the mark of the Heavenly Dao of Wind.

Waves of obscure Heavenly Dao of Wind emanated from Xu Ming's body.

“I didn't expect that what I comprehended first would be the Heavenly Dao of Wind!”

The Heavenly Dao is divided into nine paths, namely: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Yin, and Yang.

The nine Heavenly Daos correspond to nine artistic conceptions.

Artistic conception is the appearance of the Heavenly Dao; while the Heavenly Dao is the essence of artistic conception.

To use an analogy, artistic conception is like the clothes of the Heavenly Dao.

Previously, Xu Ming had been painstakingly comprehending the “clothes of the Heavenly Dao”; and this time, he finally tore open the “clothes of the Heavenly Dao” a bit and saw the “flesh” inside.

Usually, one who is good at comprehending a certain artistic conception will be good at comprehending the corresponding Heavenly Dao law.

For example, Xu Ming is best at “Fire”, followed by “Water”, and then “Wind”. So, generally speaking, Xu Ming would be the first to comprehend the “Heavenly Dao of Fire”.

Boom!

A spear thrust out.

It was both swift and violent, and contained the ethereal and agile nature of wind.

This spear seemed to strike at Lin Chen's left, and also seemed to strike at Lin Chen's right, fluttering and unpredictable.

For a time, even Lin Chen was dazzled.

“Humph!” Lin Chen's eyes sharpened.

A strange purple light flashed past, accurately colliding with the tip of the spear.

“You actually broke through!” Lin Chen was a little incredulous, “However, you think you can hurt me like this? Too naive!”

Although Xu Ming's strength soared, he was still inferior to Lin Chen in direct combat.

After all, Lin Chen was comparable to a Sixth-step Dao Lord in direct combat!

And Xu Ming was just an ordinary Fifth-step Dao Lord.

Suddenly…

Swish swish swish swish…

The purple long sword in Lin Chen's hand transformed into a sky full of sword shadows.

Lin Chen… completely erupted!

The sky full of sword shadows fell towards Xu Ming like raindrops.

Ding ding ding ding ding…

In a short breath of time, hundreds of sword shadows fell on Xu Ming.

The tattered low-grade Dao artifact armor on Xu Ming's body instantly collapsed and shattered.

However, this sky full of attacks could not hurt Xu Ming in the slightest—after all, Xu Ming's face was already so thick; how could the skin on other parts of his body be thin?

If an ordinary Fifth-step Dao Lord had endured Lin Chen's ultimate move, they would probably have been blasted into slag; even a Sixth-step Dao Lord would not have felt good.

However, Xu Ming endured it, and it was truly—a full-body comfort!

This sky full of sword shadows, to Xu Ming, was like enjoying a full-body massage.

More importantly—how much Heavenly Dao insight had Xu Ming absorbed from such a large wave of ultimate moves!

Xu Ming felt that his strength had inadvertently increased by a large margin!

He really wanted to shout at Lin Chen: “I want it! I want it! I want more!”

Compared to Xu Ming's “shameless appearance”, Lin Chen had a helpless expression.

“No way!”

“There's really no way!”

Lin Chen couldn't help but secretly shake his head: “I don't know what body-refining secret technique this kid has cultivated, demigod-level? God-level?—I can't break through his defense at all!”

If he couldn't even break through the defense, what could Lin Chen do?

Lin Chen's invincible attack had also encountered such a dilemma for the first time.

“What, are you at the end of your rope?” Xu Ming sneered.

“At the end of my rope!?” Lin Chen's entire face darkened.

As the “once-in-ten-thousand-years” peerless genius of the entire human race, when had he ever been provoked like this?

Moreover, what Lin Chen could not accept the most was that Xu Ming was even younger than him!!—This made Lin Chen feel a sense of frustration for the first time in his life.

Lin Chen's sword intent was an indomitable sword intent!

The more indomitable and invincible he was, the stronger his sword intent would be.

If this sword intent continued to strengthen, it could completely allow Lin Chen to break through all realm obstacles!—At that time, Dao Venerable Realm, Dao Lord Realm; in Lin Chen's eyes, they would not be a problem!

But now, because of Xu Ming's appearance, his indomitable sword intent had been affected and become less sharp.

“Lin Chen's sword intent has a problem!”

The top human powerhouses at the Dao Questioning Banquet had extremely sharp eyes!

With just one glance, Palace Master Po Tian, ​​Old Man Xuanqing, and other great powers were sure: “Lin Chen's sword intent is wavering!”

“This Xu Ming… can actually shake Lin Chen's sword intent!?” Palace Master Po Tian found it unbelievable.

At Palace Master Po Tian's level, it was really almost impossible to misjudge.

After all, as one of the supreme existences of the entire human race, what kind of things had Palace Master Po Tian not seen in his long life?

However, Palace Master Po Tian had to admit—Xu Ming had caused him to misjudge!

“This Xu Ming's opportunities are indeed not small, it's just a pity that his own realm is not high enough…”

“Palace Master!” Zhan Wuwei suddenly said, “Don't you think that this Xu Ming's luck is very strong?”

“Oh?”

Thinking carefully, Xu Ming's luck was indeed very strong!

When Xu Ming ran into Lin Chen, no one was optimistic about Xu Ming.

But now, everyone was shocked to find that—Lin Chen could not do anything to Xu Ming!

“Palace Master, I think it's too low to classify Xu Ming as a 'century' level genius!” Zhan Wuwei said, “At least, it should be a 'millennium' level!”

The higher the genius level, the more cultivation resources they will enjoy in the future!

Palace Master Po Tian pondered slightly: “The genius level has always been determined only based on talent; this rule cannot be broken! Moreover, luck is too ethereal and illusory—we only see that Xu Ming's luck seems to be not weak now, but who would know what his luck will be like in the future?”

Palace Master Po Tian paused: “Let's just keep it at the 'century' level, Xu Ming's talent is only at this level.”

Although Zhan Wuwei was a little dissatisfied, he did not dare to refute the Palace Master.

“On the other hand, this Lin Chen, I am really more and more optimistic about him!” Palace Master Po Tian said again.

“Hmm?” Zhan Wuwei, Old Man Xuanqing, and other top powerhouses couldn't help but look at Palace Master Po Tian.

They all found that Palace Master Po Tian seemed to like Lin Chen a little too much!

Palace Master Po Tian continued: “The road of the strong is not a smooth road, but a dangerous road full of thorns! Lin Chen has always been too smooth sailing, and has never had any setbacks; now, experiencing some setbacks is a good thing for his growth!”

“Palace Master, are you so optimistic about Lin Chen?” Zhan Wuwei couldn't help but ask.

“I believe in my vision!” Palace Master Po Tian smiled indifferently, with a mysterious confidence that belonged to super powerhouses.

However, many years later, whenever Palace Master Po Tian recalled what he said at this moment, he would cover his face and sigh: “I was blind!”

…

In the world of mountains and rivers, Xu Ming sneered: “Since you are at the end of your rope, then next, it's my turn!”

“Heh!” Lin Chen was very disdainful, “With your abilities, how many tricks can you have?”

“Then you should watch carefully!” Xu Ming's smile suddenly became strange.

Waves of mental attacks quietly spread towards Lin Chen.

“Dream Loss!”

Soul attack was Lin Chen's weakness, but it was not Xu Ming's weakness!

After Xu Ming's realm broke through, he also reached the Fifth-step Dao Lord level in terms of soul attack!

Before Lin Chen could even notice it, he had already quietly lost himself in the illusion created by Xu Ming.

“Kill!!” Xu Ming's eyes were cold and ruthless.

The spear full of killing intent instantly arrived in front of Lin Chen.
