Open up and break into another world

“I… damn it!”

Even City Lord Naihe was truly depressed!

He was a dignified expert from the God Domain!

Even in the God Domain, he was a person of some standing!

Never would he have imagined that, carelessly, he would be blasted by Xu Ming…

Although only a small, extremely fragile segment of his consciousness was destroyed, for City Lord Naihe, this was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation of his “god-life”! — After all, it is a disgrace for a god to be defeated by a demigod!

But precisely, City Lord Naihe could only swallow this defeat like “eating Coptis chinensis—unable to express his bitterness”! — Who told him to disturb Xu Ming's trial when he had nothing better to do?

However…

Xu Ming was even more depressed!

Just as Xu Ming discovered City Lord Naihe, the second level of the test had actually already begun!

When Xu Ming thrust his spear towards City Lord Naihe, a black shadow, like a bolt of black lightning, appeared behind Xu Ming—but Xu Ming's attention was entirely on City Lord Naihe, and he didn't notice it at all!

Caught off guard, Xu Ming was instantly killed and defeated in the second level of the test.

“I…” Xu Ming then reacted, realizing that the one he had just blasted with his spear seemed to be City Lord Naihe…

Whoosh…

Xu Ming's consciousness blurred for a moment, and he withdrew from the Ninefold Realm world.

“Look! Xu Ming came out!”

Instantly, the surroundings stirred.

“Xu Ming has finally been eliminated!”

“How long did he last in the Ninefold Realm test?”

“It seems to be a full two hundred and twenty breaths…”

“Too terrifying… How did he do it!?”

Two hundred and twenty breaths!

This result put immense pressure on the geniuses from the God Domain!

Even Xi Ye, who ranked second among the ten geniuses of the God Domain in terms of strength, admitted to being far inferior—Xi Ye estimated that he could only last a maximum of one hundred and eighty breaths; and that would require an exceptional performance!

One hundred and eighty breaths, two hundred and twenty breaths—seemingly only a difference of forty breaths, but the difficulty was more than ten times greater!

Instantly, Xi Ye was convinced!

In front of Xu Ming, Xi Ye, this proud genius of the God Domain, could only lower his haughty head.

“I wonder when I will be able to reach Xu Ming's level!” Xi Ye looked at Xu Ming thoughtfully.

Suddenly!

Xi Ye's expression changed drastically.

The other God Domain geniuses didn't feel much upon seeing these cracks; because they didn't know what these cracks represented!

However, Xi Ye knew!

“Could it be… Xu Ming passed the first level!?”

As far as Xi Ye knew, every time a level was passed in the Ninefold Realm test, cracks would appear; the higher the level passed, the larger the cracks would be!—If all nine levels were passed, the cracks would cover the entire stone wall!

And now, Xi Ye saw cracks near Xu Ming's palm!!

“Xu Ming was defeated after passing the first level!!?” Xi Ye was so shocked that he couldn't speak, “To be able to pass the first level of the Ninefold Realm after only cultivating for more than five thousand years… What kind of genius is this!?”

Xi Ye didn't know that Xu Ming had only cultivated for more than thirty years, not five thousand years… Nor did he know that if it hadn't been for City Lord Naihe's interference, Xu Ming's results would probably have been even better!

The other God Domain geniuses, as well as the geniuses of the Microcosm World, although they didn't know the meaning of the cracks; however, the result of “two hundred and twenty breaths” was enough to shock them into numbness!

Just as the other geniuses were shocked beyond words, Xu Ming was gloomily communicating with City Lord Naihe.

“City Lord Naihe… I was doing well in the Ninefold Realm world, why did you run in? If it weren't for you…” Xu Ming's meaning was very direct—if it weren't for your interference, I would definitely have achieved better results!

City Lord Naihe was also depressed—he just ran in to peek, but he didn't expect that Xu Ming would shatter a small segment of his consciousness.

“I saw that you hadn't come out for a long time, and I thought something had happened to you inside, so I went in to take a look…” City Lord Naihe found a plausible reason to explain his peeping behavior.

“Is that so?” Xu Ming was a little suspicious, obviously not believing it much.

However, Xu Ming didn't delve into this issue.

After another ten breaths or so, Qian Yishang also withdrew from the Ninefold Realm test.

The eyes of the geniuses immediately turned to Qian Yishang.

“Qian Yishang's result is… two hundred and thirty-five breaths!”

The vast majority of geniuses thought that—the longer one persisted, the better the result!

Therefore, after seeing Qian Yishang's result, they couldn't help but discuss:

“Although Xu Ming is monstrous, it seems that Qian Yishang is still more powerful!”

“That's for sure! After all, Qian Yishang also has a Heavenly Dao Compatibility of Seven Stars Grade A, plus he has cultivated for so much longer than Xu Ming; his strength is naturally stronger than Xu Ming's!”

Only Xi Ye knew—Qian Yishang had not passed the first level!

Because, no cracks appeared around Qian Yishang's palm on the stone wall!

Qian Yishang didn't pass the first level, while Xu Ming did—who was stronger and who was weaker was self-evident!

…

After Qian Yishang came out, he arrogantly glanced at his opponents; seeing that no one had persisted longer than him, he couldn't help but smile proudly.

Immediately, Qian Yishang couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart: “Still a little short, didn't pass…”

After a while, Qian Yishang heard that the other geniuses were actually comparing his results with Xu Ming's, and couldn't help but ask strangely: “Is Xu Ming's result very good?”

“Brother Shang…” Bi Liu said in disbelief, “Xu Ming lasted two hundred and twenty breaths in the Ninefold Realm test… only fifteen breaths less than you…”

“What!?” Qian Yishang was shocked, “You're not lying to me, are you? Xu Ming can last two hundred and twenty breaths!?”

“Brother Shang, how dare I lie to you…” Bi Liu said repeatedly.

Qian Yishang was even more horrified, looking at Xu Ming: “You actually only persisted fifteen breaths less than me?”

Xu Ming ignored Qian Yishang and said to City Lord Naihe: “I gained a lot while闯ing through the Ninefold Realm; now, I need to immediately seclude myself to comprehend it!”

“Okay, go!” City Lord Naihe said without hesitation—he knew that Xu Ming had passed the first level on his first attempt at the Ninefold Realm, and he would indeed have many insights that needed to be consolidated immediately!

“By the way!” City Lord Naihe added, “The second stage of the test has two opportunities. There is a half-month interval between the two opportunities—so, you only have half a month to seclude yourself; don't miss the opportunity for the second Ninefold Realm test!”

“Okay! I understand!” Xu Ming quickly bid farewell and left, returning to his previous room to cultivate.

Seeing that Xu Ming ignored him and left in a puff of smoke, Qian Yishang's entire face became extremely ugly: “Gained a lot? Need to immediately seclude himself?—I think he realized that his test results were not as good as mine, and he felt inferior, so he ran away, right?”
