Open up and break into another world

After a dizzying spatial distortion, when Xu Ming opened his eyes again, he was met with a fiery red land.

Every piece of land, every rock, every grain of sand in this land seemed to be burning with flames.

In the distance, a majestic volcano continuously spewed raging flames towards the sky.

But strangely, when the fiery red flames shot to a certain height, they would decompose into nine brilliant colors in the sky — Xu Ming clearly felt that these nine colors corresponded to the nine Heavenly Daos!

“The raging flames spewed out by the volcano should be a kind of application of the Fire Heavenly Dao! But… since it is the Fire Heavenly Dao, why does it decompose into the other eight Heavenly Daos?”

Xu Ming couldn't help but fall into deep thought: “Strange! Truly strange!”

In that instant, Xu Ming seemed to have captured some mystery, yet it seemed as if he hadn't grasped anything at all.

In the end, Xu Ming had no choice but to shake his head helplessly: “The unfathomable methods of the great powers of the God Realm are indeed not something I can fathom!”

At this moment, the mechanical voice sounded again in the sky: “Ten peripheral inheritors, you are now scattered in various corners of the Trial Grounds. Here, you can stay for three days; and during these three days, you will not be in any danger…”

No danger?

Xu Ming couldn't help but feel puzzled — if there's no danger, then what is the trial for?

The mechanical voice continued: “You can take advantage of these three days to explore the Trial Grounds, and you will have considerable gains! — The more you gain, the higher your Luck will be!”

Xu Ming's eyes lit up.

He understood that this Trial Grounds was a place to test Luck.

Although “Luck” is ethereal and illusory, the great powers of the God Realm can use unfathomable means to set up secret realms to test Luck!

It's just that…

“Could it be that the 'General' wants to select personal inheritors based solely on Luck?”

Although Xu Ming was confident that his Luck was strong, he had to say that such a selection method was a bit too hasty!

Fortunately, the mechanical voice then said: “The Luck assessment is just a small test before the official trial begins, and will not be used as a basis for selecting personal inheritors! After three days, no matter what your gains are, you will be teleported to the Trial Palace! — Alright, let's begin now!”

Just a small test?

Xu Ming and the other ten Dao Lords were somewhat skeptical!

Perhaps, this Luck assessment would be more or less related to the selection of personal inheritors. For example, in the subsequent trial stages, if two people performed similarly, then this Luck assessment would probably be brought up!

“Hurry up and explore!!!” Jian Wushuang didn't dare to stay for even a moment.

He knew that the more one gained, the higher their Luck would be. And if one wanted to “gain more,” then they should work hard to explore.

“Go!”

“We must explore more treasures!”

…

In other parts of the Trial Grounds, Zhan Wuwei, Ye Tianhun, General Jing Yu, and others also began to explore in a hurry.

Among the ten Dao Lords, only Xu Ming was incomparably calm.

“The more you gain, the higher your Luck will be?”

Xu Ming always felt that this sentence was somewhat contradictory.

“If my Luck is higher than the other nine, but I stand still and don't explore for treasures; and the other nine all work hard to explore — then in the end, will their gains be more than mine?” Xu Ming thought to himself, “If their gains are more than mine, but my Luck is stronger than theirs — wouldn't that be a contradiction?”

The great powers of the God Realm shouldn't leave such a low-level contradiction!

Soon, Xu Ming understood that the correct way to interpret this sentence should be to read it in reverse — the higher the Luck, the more gains there will be!

“In that case…” Xu Ming directly found a flat rock, lay down comfortably, “If my Luck is stronger than the others, then I don't need to do anything. As long as I lie here comfortably for three days, my gains will be greater than the other nine!”

Then, Xu Ming really used his arm as a pillow, squinted his eyes, crossed his legs, and prepared to take a nap first.

Xu Ming thought about it, but still didn't have much of a clue — his own understanding of the Heavenly Dao was still too low! As a result, he clearly vaguely touched upon some mysteries of the God Realm level, but he couldn't comprehend anything substantial!

However, the "seed" of mystery had already been planted in Xu Ming's heart. He was just waiting for Xu Ming's understanding of the Heavenly Dao to arrive; this seed would begin to sprout.

As Xu Ming was thinking, time passed continuously…

Suddenly!

Boom!

At the top of the colorful sky, a pitch-black crack suddenly opened.

From the pitch-black crack, a meteorite burning with flames directly smashed towards Xu Ming's direction.

“Damn it!!!!” Xu Ming's eyeballs were bulging out.

This flame meteorite was incredibly terrifying! Even a ninth-order demigod probably wouldn't dare to withstand it head-on.

Xu Ming judged that if he didn't dodge, then… this meteorite would probably just hit him!

“What the hell! I'm just being lazy and taking a nap here, is there a need to smash down a meteorite?”

Xu Ming quickly jumped away.

Boom!

The flame meteorite pierced through the sky, tearing apart space, and in the blink of an eye, it smashed into the position where Xu Ming had just been.

The ground, which was even harder than a Venerable Artifact, was directly smashed into a terrifying deep pit!

Fortunately, Xu Ming jumped away quickly, otherwise, he probably wouldn't die but would be seriously injured!

“That really scared me to death!”

Xu Ming patted his chest exaggeratedly and ran to the edge of the deep pit to look.

At this time, thick smoke was rising from the deep pit. The temperature of the smoke was extremely high, and even the space was distorted by this high temperature, which was terrifying.

Xu Ming patiently waited for the thick smoke to dissipate, and then, he saw the appearance of the meteorite — this meteorite was about the same height as Xu Ming; the surface was black and smooth, but it had blood-colored patterns, just like a person's meridians.

And to Xu Ming's surprise, after such a fierce collision, this meteorite didn't have any wear and tear!

“This is…?”

Xu Ming directly used a “Probe” on it.

The cheat immediately responded: Blood Radiance Crystal, the main material for making high-level Divine Artifacts, extremely precious!

Xu Ming's eyes lit up: “Divine-level material! And it's for making high-level Divine Artifacts!”

Although Xu Ming wasn't clear on how Divine Artifacts were classified, since this Blood Radiance Crystal was for making high-level Divine Artifacts, then it was definitely incredibly awesome! — Maybe, this piece of Blood Radiance Crystal was even more precious than a low-level Divine Artifact!

“Sure enough…” Xu Ming found that his guess was correct — the higher the Luck, the more gains there will be!

Xu Ming's Luck was high enough, so even if he lay down and did nothing, treasures would actively fly over.

The only thing that made Xu Ming a little depressed was — he couldn't sleep well here! If he slept too deeply, he wouldn't even know when he was killed by a treasure!

“Nothing to say! Since the treasure is delivered to my door, I'll take it first!”
