Open up and break into another world

Reincarnation Annihilation! — This was a spear technique that Xu Ming comprehended in that fleeting moment.

He didn't even have time to study the power of this spear technique before subconsciously executing it.

"You can't kill me! You can't kill me!" the Gold-Devouring Rat clamored.

Puchi!

The Shattered Moon Spear directly pierced through the Gold-Devouring Rat's defense, the entire shaft burying itself within its body.

"What… What a powerful spear!" The Gold-Devouring Rat was shocked.

But then, its expression returned to ferocity: "It's useless! You can't stop my self-destruction! Hahahaha… Let's die together! Let's die together!!"

The Gold-Devouring Rat's body rapidly expanded, like a balloon being inflated, ready to explode at any moment.

"Now, even if you want to escape, it's too late! Hahahaha…"

Just as the Gold-Devouring Rat was laughing triumphantly, suddenly, the Shattered Moon Spear embedded in its body emitted a strange and tyrannical devouring force.

The Gold-Devouring Rat felt every bit of its flesh and blood, every inch of its bones, being twisted by this devouring force.

Its body, which had expanded to the point of almost exploding, was forcibly devoured and shrunk back down.

"What's going on? Explode already!!"

However, the Gold-Devouring Rat discovered that it was unable to self-destruct no matter what!

"Self-destruction… suppressed?"

The Gold-Devouring Rat was dumbfounded: "What kind of bizarre trick is this that can even suppress self-destruction?"

Immediately afterward, the devouring and twisting force that the Gold-Devouring Rat felt became even more tyrannical and irresistible.

Crack crack…

Its bones were shattered by this terrifying devouring and twisting force.

Its flesh and blood had long since been twisted into a pool of bloody water.

Its soul was also subjected to devouring and twisting, as if being pulled into an endless abyss.

What seemed slow was actually instantaneous.

With one spear strike, the Gold-Devouring Rat's massive body, like that of an elephant, whether flesh or bone, was all twisted into a pool of bloody residue—one could imagine how terrifying this devouring and twisting force was!

And the Gold-Devouring Rat's soul was also twisted into soul fragments.

It was dead beyond dead!

At the same time, Xu Ming received a notification from the Little Helper: "Congratulations, Host, on comprehending and creating a God-Rank Secret Skill, reaching the conditions to unlock the 'Exclusive VIP Function' of the Helper! Do you want to activate it immediately?"

God-Rank Secret Skill?

"The secret skill I comprehended and created in that fleeting moment is actually a God-Rank Secret Skill?"

Moreover…

Although he was a top-tier Dao Lord expert, he was unable to reach in time to help.

Looking at the Gold-Devouring Rat's "remains," which were deader than dead, Zhan Wuwei was shocked and unable to recover for a long time: "That was a Sixth-Step Dao Venerable-level demon beast… Just like that, it was instantly killed by Xu Ming with one spear?"

Each time Zhan Wuwei thought he had overestimated Xu Ming enough, he would find that he had still greatly underestimated him.

"Xu Ming," Zhan Wuwei couldn't help but ask, "What's the name of the spear technique you just used?"

"Reincarnation Annihilation!" The name of this spear technique was not intentionally chosen by Xu Ming; rather, it naturally appeared in his mind when it erupted.

"Reincarnation Annihilation… Reincarnation Annihilation…" Zhan Wuwei muttered a few times, then said, "The devouring and twisting force of this spear technique does indeed have a bit of the 'Reincarnation Annihilation' artistic conception! — Very good, very powerful spear technique, reaching the level of a 'Half-God Rank Secret Skill,' right?"

Half-God Rank Secret Skill?

Zhan Wuwei was mistaken; in reality… this was a God-Rank Secret Skill!

However, Zhan Wuwei couldn't be blamed for being mistaken; after all, who would have thought that Xu Ming, who had only entered the Dao Venerable level for a few years, could actually create a "God-Rank Secret Skill"! One must know that even the human race's Half-God experts cannot create a "God-Rank Secret Skill"!

Xu Ming thought for a moment, didn't tell the truth, and continued along Zhan Wuwei's words: "Yes, it's 'Half-God Rank'; however, I've only created one and a half moves!"

Even though Xu Ming was already being low-key enough, Zhan Wuwei was still shocked.

"It really is a 'Half-God Rank Secret Skill'…" Zhan Wuwei's face was filled with disbelief, "Xu Ming, you are truly an ancient genius! I feel that the 'Million-Year Level' of genius is underestimating you!"

Xu Ming didn't speak.

He looked down at the imperial capital below, which had already been half-destroyed, his heart extremely heavy.

"Is this the war between races?"

Xu Ming felt the naked cruelty of this world for the first time!

In this world where the strong are respected, powerful experts can destroy a city and kill hundreds of thousands of people with a wave of their hands.

In front of the strong and powerful, human life is as cheap as grass!

Xu Ming stared blankly at the hundred-zhang-deep pit blasted out of the imperial capital below; he also looked at the mortal martial artists surrounding the pit, each one panicked, dazed, in pain, indignant, and helpless…

Among them was Shen Hui, to whom Xu Ming had previously imparted his cultivation technique.

At this time, Shen Hui was completely stunned; his face was ashen, and his eyes were lifeless. Lin'er's death made him feel that life had lost its meaning, and the path of martial arts had also lost its meaning.

Zhan Wuwei also looked at the scene below and sighed: "This is the war between races!"

After a long silence, Zhan Wuwei added: "Actually, this time's losses are considered very small!"

"Small?" Hearing the word "small," Xu Ming felt a sting in his ears.

Hundreds of thousands of people, gone just like that! — And that's still called "small losses"?

"It is very small!" In the depths of Zhan Wuwei's eyes, grief, indignation, helplessness, and various complex emotions were intertwined, "In the past, when Dao Venerable-level alien race infiltrators were exposed, at least a million or ten million people would die! But this time, because you stopped its self-destruction, you saved the lives of ten million people!"

Xu Ming mocked himself: "But still, hundreds of thousands of clansmen died!"

"Yes…" Zhan Wuwei also gritted his teeth in hatred, "It's all the Shadow Alliance's doing!"

"Shadow Alliance?" Xu Ming had never heard of it.

"It's an alliance of the demon race, specializing in assassination and infiltration!" Zhan Wuwei explained.

"Is that so?" Xu Ming's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, "One day, I will destroy the Shadow Alliance!!"

He added a sentence in his heart—and that day would not be far off.

"Xu Ming!" Zhan Wuwei's gaze was distant and solemn, "Not only must we destroy the Shadow Alliance, but we must also destroy the entire demon race! — My talent is limited, and my potential has almost been fully tapped; but you… you have unlimited possibilities!"

"Mm!" Xu Ming responded; he didn't know what that "Mm" meant.

"I hope that one day, you can become a god and slaughter all the alien races!"

Becoming a god…

Xu Ming was very confident!

Not only would he become a god, but he would also become a strong and powerful existence among the gods!

"Demon race…" Xu Ming's gaze was cold, "Wait and see!"

Today's three chapters are complete.
