Open up and break into another world

The Barren Mountains were festooned with decorations everywhere, celebrating the Barren Sect's return to the ranks of the Holy Lands.

Experts and powerful figures from the three thousand six hundred territories were all drinking heartily. The banquet scene was filled with clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, a lively and extraordinary sight.

Each and every expert and powerful figure was not at all worried about any danger. After all, this was human territory, and even more so, the domain of God Hand Xu Ming; moreover, more than half of the human race's top figures were here—so what could possibly threaten the safety of this place?

Night gradually descended, and the heavens and earth became dim.

"Drink!"

"Bottoms up!"

"Damn! How can you drink with small cups? Bring out the big bowls!—No, let's just go straight for the vats!"

The atmosphere at the scene grew more and more lively as they drank.

The potency of the Runed Dao Wine was strong and difficult to dispel; many experts were already showing slight signs of intoxication.

"This wine… is definitely good wine!"

"This is great! It's been a long time since I've had such a great time drinking with you brothers! Awesome!"

There were also many who were completely drunk.

"Ming… Brother Ming!" Zhan Yue Dao Lord, Shen Hui's teaching master, managed to offer Xu Ming a toast as he wished. Because he was too excited, coupled with the effects of the alcohol, Zhan Yue Dao Lord's words were somewhat incoherent. "Brother Ming, my admiration for you is like a滔滔 river… I grew up listening to your stories!"

Xu Ming, on the other hand, was not drunk.

After all, with Xu Ming's strength, even if he wanted to get drunk, it would be very, very difficult!

"Grew up listening to my stories?" Xu Ming was taken aback. "May I ask, Brother Zhan Yue, how old are you this year?"

"I…" But at this moment, Zhan Yue Dao Lord's eyes gradually became blurred—he was completely drunk.

When Zhan Yue Dao Lord collapsed on the table, a neurotic smile still hung on the corner of his mouth, and he kept muttering, "Brother Ming is addressing me as a brother… Brother Ming is addressing me as a brother…"

Then, with a "thud," he fell sound asleep.

Zhan Yue Dao Lord was already drunk, so his disciple, Shen Hui, was even more unconscious.

Seeing this, Xu Ming didn't specifically help them dispel the alcohol; after all, being drunk was also a kind of enjoyable feeling.

Gold is easy to obtain, but a good drunk is hard to come by!

Afterward, Xu Ming quietly got up, preparing to take care of the other guests.

But just at this moment…

Boom!!!

Outside the mountain gate of the Barren Holy Land, a sudden, enormous explosion rang out.

"What's going on?"

"Did someone deliberately come to cause trouble?"

The experts and powerful figures couldn't believe it; some experts who weren't very drunk sobered up a bit.

What kind of place was this?—This was God Hand Xu Ming's territory!

What kind of occasion was this?—It was the celebration banquet for Xu Ming's Barren Sect's return to the ranks of the Holy Lands!

In such a place, on such an occasion, someone actually dared to come and cause trouble?

Holy Lord Gu Kongshan's face instantly turned extremely unsightly.

Xu Ming's eyes shot out with anger, illuminating the already dim night. His gaze instantly locked onto a demon beast outside the mountain gate!

"A demon race!?" Xu Ming's eyes grew even colder.

This was a gray rabbit demon beast, with two rabbit ears standing tall; on the left rabbit ear, there were some missing parts.

And the enormous explosion just now was caused by this gray rabbit demon beast.

"Daring to come to my Barren Holy Land's banquet to cause trouble!?" Xu Ming could tell at a glance that this gray rabbit demon beast's cultivation was not high, only at the Dao Venerate level.

A foreign race at this level didn't even have the qualifications to be looked at by Xu Ming; however, this gray rabbit demon beast's actions angered Xu Ming—this was deliberately embarrassing the Barren Holy Land!

"Humph!" However, Xu Ming wasn't in a hurry to kill the other party.

He knew that since this gray rabbit demon beast dared to appear at this time, it must have been prepared to die; since that was the case, Xu Ming might as well see what the other party had to say before dying.

Being stared at by Xu Ming's angry gaze, even though the gray rabbit demon beast had deliberately come to die, it couldn't help but tremble all over—this trembling was a fear originating from the instinct of life, and it couldn't be controlled at all.

However, the gray rabbit demon beast still forced itself to appear as calm as possible; it trembled as it began to recite the lines it had practiced thousands of times: "I am the demon race's 'Rabbit Rabbit' Demon Venerate, under the orders of Sage Bamboo, representing the demon race, the demon race, the blood race… and other major foreign race alliances, to issue a challenge to your human race!"

Issue a challenge?

Xu Ming was furious in his heart—I haven't even had time to go and find trouble with these foreign races, and the foreign races actually took the initiative to come and cause trouble? It's true that the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind won't stop; since that's the case, I will let you major foreign races know what fear is!

Moreover, Xu Ming knew that the major foreign races were not only here to issue a challenge; they were also taking the opportunity of issuing a challenge to create a little embarrassment for Xu Ming and the Barren Holy Land.

And Xu Ming was indeed embarrassed!

Rabbit Rabbit Demon Venerate continued to recite the lines—although it had come to "die generously," being stared at coldly by Xu Ming and a group of powerful figures, its pressure was too great; if it hadn't memorized the lines beforehand, it definitely wouldn't even know how to open its mouth.

"The powerful figures of our major foreign race alliances, after calculations, have already determined that the opportunity within the Yellow Springs Tomb has been obtained by your human race! We give your human race a year to share the opportunity; otherwise, our major foreign race allied forces will definitely unite and attack the human race, directly destroying you!"

As it spoke, a letter of challenge, filled with demonic energy, appeared in Rabbit Rabbit Demon Venerate's "hand." With a flick of its hand, it sent the letter of challenge flying toward Xu Ming's direction.

"Humph!"

A mere Dao Venerate of the demon race dares to issue a challenge to the human race?

A wisp of candlelight faintly burned in Xu Ming's eyes. Immediately afterward, the letter of challenge flying in mid-air, as well as the Rabbit Rabbit Demon Venerate who had just thrown out the letter of challenge, were annihilated in the flames, not even leaving behind any dregs.

Qin Tian Half-God, Palace Master Po Tian, Sword Master, and other top figures of the human race were also indignant.

"Daring to issue a challenge to our human race?" Qin Tian's gaze was dark and cold. "Then let's wait for these foreign races to come and fight!—As long as they dare to come, we will definitely make them come and never return!"

"Humph! Xu Ming did indeed obtain the opportunity within the Dao Questioning Palace!—However, wanting our human race to share the opportunity is simply a dream!" Palace Master Po Tian also transmitted his voice among the top figures.

"Let's fight!" The Sword Master, who was always calm and collected, also exuded a trace of killing intent. "My sharp sword should also have a good blood-drinking!"

…

"Xu Ming, what do you think?" In the end, the top figures all turned their gazes to Xu Ming.

Now that Xu Ming was sitting at the Round Table Conference and was also the human race's recognized "number one expert," he naturally had a great say.

"Me…?" Xu Ming coldly snorted. "Why should we wait for them to attack before taking action?—Humph! It seems that it's time to give these foreign races some profound lessons!"
