Open up and break into another world

Within Xu Ming's world ring was a vast and barren land stretching for thousands of miles.

Dressed in black, Yin Ran stood somewhat lost in the very center of this desolate expanse; her expression no longer held any of its former aloofness, instead resembling a helpless, ordinary little girl.

At this moment, the pride she carried from the Divine Domain had vanished without a trace.

“I was actually… protected by Xu Ming…”

The more Yin Ran thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed.

She was born into a super-powerful force in the Divine Domain—Holy Emperor City. From a young age, she had enjoyed the best cultivation and care.

The methods these super-powerful forces in the Divine Domain used to nurture geniuses were simply beyond the comprehension of the great powers in “small places” like the Endless Continent. For example, Yin Ran, who was only in her twenties, already had a level of comprehension of the Heavenly Dao that had reached the “demigod” level!

Moreover, she wasn't just any ordinary demigod!

If she hadn't been plagued by the 'Soul Devouring Mist,' Yin Ran's strength would probably be even greater than the 'Sword Master'!

And now, a dignified “demigod great power” was being protected by Xu Ming, a mere “half-step Dao Lord”...…

Yin Ran couldn't quite describe what she was feeling.

Humiliation?

Logically speaking, Yin Ran should have felt humiliated; but for some reason, she didn't feel any shame at all, but rather a warm and peculiar feeling in her heart.

“I wonder how Xu Ming is doing now…”

Yin Ran couldn't help but think.

It had been several hours since Xu Ming had forcefully stuffed her into the world ring; however, Xu Ming still hadn't contacted her.

“Could it be… that Xu Ming has been fighting that big willow tree for several hours?”

In Yin Ran's view, if the battle had ended, Xu Ming would definitely have contacted her.

But Xu Ming hadn't contacted her; this meant that Xu Ming must still be tied up.

“But it’s also strange, why is Xu Ming’s strength so great?”

Yin Ran could naturally see that Xu Ming's comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was only approaching the limit of a half-step Dao Lord; yet his strength was outrageously high.

“Even I am no match for that big willow tree now; yet Xu Ming can gain the upper hand while fighting the big willow tree…” Yin Ran thought in horror, “It’s simply unbelievable! Even in the vast Divine Domain, it would be difficult to find someone stronger than Xu Ming below the Dao Lord level!”

Difficult to find didn't mean there weren't any.

After all, the Divine Domain was simply too vast! The territory ruled by Holy Emperor City alone was countless times larger than the entire Endless Continent!

In the Divine Domain, even a speck of dust was more precious than a middle-grade Dao Stone from the Endless Continent!

The vastness and mystery of the Divine Domain were simply beyond the imagination of the beings of the Endless Continent!

But Yin Ran could say with certainty—even if Xu Ming were placed in the vast Divine Domain; among his peers, it would be difficult to find an opponent!

It's just that…

What Yin Ran didn't know was that the strength Xu Ming had displayed in front of her was only the tip of the iceberg.

Yin Ran also didn't know that without her “holding him back,” Xu Ming wasn't fighting a fierce battle with the big willow tree, but was purely and simply ravaging it!

Just as Yin Ran's mind was wandering—

Crack!

The sky of the world ring was suddenly “opened.”

“Xu Ming opened the world ring?” Yin Ran couldn't help but feel excited.

However, as soon as she began to feel excited, she thought of another possibility in horror: “Or is it… that Xu Ming has already been killed by the big willow tree, and the big willow tree is refining Xu Ming's world ring?”

Moreover, Yin Ran felt that the second possibility was obviously much greater than the first!

For a time, Yin Ran's mood was extremely complicated—not that she was afraid! Yin Ran still had other life-saving methods; as long as she didn't linger in battle, the big willow tree couldn't do anything to her.

“Xu Ming actually… died to save me…” Yin Ran couldn't say what she was feeling now, very bitter, very self-reproachful, very guilty…

Just then, Yin Ran saw that a super big willow tree more than a hundred miles high suddenly appeared at the very top of the sky.

Then, this big willow tree directly “fell” from the sky.

“Sure enough!!” Yin Ran was immediately both surprised and angry, “The big willow tree killed Xu Ming and broke into the world ring to find me!”

“Damn big willow tree!!”

In Yin Ran's eyes, there was a chilling killing intent; in her hand, there suddenly appeared a thin sword that seemed extremely simple.

The thin sword was three feet long, without the slightest aura, and looked no different from ordinary iron.

But in reality, this was a sealed… divine artifact!

A true divine artifact!

“Even when I wasn’t poisoned, this sword was difficult to control…” There was a hint of madness in Yin Ran’s eyes, “Now, I will use this sword to kill you, this monster, to comfort Xu Ming!”

Xu Ming's willow tree clone saw Yin Ran as soon as it entered the world ring, and also saw Yin Ran take out an extremely simple thin sword.

“Hmm?” Xu Ming suddenly smelled a great sense of danger, “This sword…”

“Damn, as soon as I came in, she drew her sword against me!?”

However, Xu Ming also knew that his willow tree clone suddenly entering the world ring could easily cause Yin Ran to misunderstand.

“Stop! Stop!” the willow tree clone shouted repeatedly.

“Stop?” Yin Ran’s eyes were filled with killing intent, “Willow tree monster, die!!”

“Stop, we’re on the same side!” the willow tree clone said anxiously.

“On the same side?” Yin Ran couldn’t help but sneer, “Am I on the same side as you, a willow tree?”

“Yin!” Just then, Xu Ming’s human clone also appeared at the very top of the world ring.

“Hmm!?” Yin Ran couldn’t help but be stunned, “Xu… Xu Ming, you’re okay?”

“I’m okay…” Xu Ming said speechlessly, “What could have happened to me?”

“Since you’re okay, then this big willow tree…?” Yin Ran looked at Xu Ming in confusion, then at the big willow tree.

“Oh, this…” Xu Ming said casually, “This big willow tree has already been soul-enslaved by me!”

In order to avoid being too shocking, Xu Ming certainly didn't dare to say that he had seized the big willow tree; now, the big willow tree was one of his clones. Instead, he made up an excuse, saying that he had soul-enslaved the big willow tree.

But even so, it still shocked Yin Ran enough: “Soul… soul-enslaved!?”

Yin Ran simply couldn't imagine: “How did you do it?”

She had experienced the power of this big willow tree, and knew very well that even a demigod probably couldn't enslave this big willow tree!

And now, Xu Ming had enslaved the big willow tree?

“It’s just soul-enslavement…” Xu Ming said, “But I have to say, the strength of this big willow tree is really strong! Even under my soul-enslavement, it fiercely resisted for several hours before finally being subdued by me!”

Xu Ming said it with such detail, as if it were true.

“Uh…” Yin Ran listened in a daze.
