Open up and break into another world

Immediately, Xu Ming and the other nine geniuses began their second trial.

Hua!

Xu Ming once again sensed this dark starry sky.

Countless meteorites appeared, beginning to bombard Xu Ming.

Because Xu Ming had already passed the first level, after only three breaths upon entering the Nine-Level Realm, the extreme point of the first level—the black celestial body that had blazed into a sun—appeared.

"It appeared so quickly?"

Xu Ming was somewhat surprised.

However, Xu Ming certainly preferred it to appear sooner rather than later—after all, the first level no longer posed any challenge to Xu Ming; moreover, Xu Ming had already absorbed as much of the pure, profound energy within the first level as he could.

"Break for me!!"

Xu Ming transformed into a shooting star, directly blasting towards the "extreme point" of the first level.

In just ten breaths, Xu Ming passed the first level!

"Ten breaths to break through the first level!?" City Lord Naihe looked at the spiderweb-like cracks that appeared on the stone wall where Xu Ming's palm had made contact, and couldn't help but be astonished, "It seems that Xu Ming's strength has greatly improved again!"

However, this time, City Lord Naihe didn't dare to sneak in to peek at Xu Ming's test—after all, he had already tricked Xu Ming once before; if he were to trick Xu Ming a second time, City Lord Naihe himself would probably feel bad about it.

Therefore, although City Lord Naihe was extremely curious about Xu Ming's performance, he forcefully restrained himself and didn't go to peek again.

"The second level world!"

Standing on the desolate white ice plains, Xu Ming's attention was highly focused.

Previously, during the first test, Xu Ming had been careless and was instantly killed by a shadowy figure before he could even see it clearly. This time, Xu Ming naturally wouldn't dare to be careless.

Shua!

Sure enough, soon, another lightning-like black shadow appeared behind Xu Ming, once again launching a sneak attack.

However, this time, Xu Ming was fully focused, so how could he give this black shadow a chance to attack?

"It's a man in black!"

As for what was hidden beneath the black clothing, Xu Ming couldn't see at all.

Hong!!

Without hesitation, Xu Ming's long spear directly lashed out angrily.

Unexpectedly, with just one strike, this black shadow was dispersed, turning into wisps of black energy that entered Xu Ming's body.

"So easy to deal with?" Xu Ming was slightly stunned.

He felt that the attack power of this black shadow was about the "Eighteenth Order"; however, its defense was extremely fragile, just like an ordinary Ninth-Order Demigod—such a fragile defense, of course, couldn't withstand Xu Ming's angry spear strike.

However, this was only the first wave of attacks in the second level.

After just "one-tenth of a breath", the second wave of attacks arrived; this time, two black shadows appeared.

Xu Ming once again forcefully dispersed them with a destructive force.

After another "one-tenth of a breath", the third wave of attacks, three black shadows!

The fourth wave of attacks, four black shadows!

… …

Fifty breaths later… …

"Fortunately, the defenses of these black shadows are extremely fragile; with a sweep of my long spear, I can sweep away a row; moreover, these black shadows only know some close-range attack methods and don't have ranged attacks! Otherwise, even if I were stronger, I wouldn't be able to withstand it!" Xu Ming thought to himself.

But even so, with hundreds of black shadows popping up every "one-tenth of a breath", Xu Ming was still overwhelmed and couldn't kill them all. At this time, Xu Ming's surroundings were already densely surrounded by tens of thousands of black shadows—these black shadows were all those that Xu Ming didn't have time to kill and had "accumulated".

Tens of thousands of black shadows with "Eighteenth Order" attacks!

If these black shadows knew ranged attacks, or if their defenses were even slightly stronger, then Xu Ming would probably have been ravaged to the point of not even having dregs left!

"This second level world should mainly be testing my attack power!" Xu Ming thought to himself, "If my attack is slightly weaker or my movements are slightly slower, and I don't have time to clear the black shadows that are close to me, I'm afraid I would have already been defeated!"

Now, Xu Ming was purely relying on his sharp enough attacks to forcefully clear out a "vacuum zone" around himself. Although there were a terrifying tens of thousands of black shadows surrounding Xu Ming, as long as a black shadow entered the vacuum zone, it would immediately be killed by Xu Ming.

Relying on this method, Xu Ming was able to persevere without being defeated.

At the same time, Xu Ming also faintly felt the benefits of absorbing the black energy after killing the black shadows.

"This black energy seems to be 'cleansing' the sequelae left behind when I comprehended the Heavenly Dao!" Xu Ming was secretly surprised.

Comprehending the Heavenly Dao does indeed leave behind sequelae.

For example, Xu Ming initially planted the "Seed of the Dao of Wind" and was the first to comprehend the Heavenly Dao of Wind; therefore, Xu Ming's body and soul were left with such sequelae—making it easier to comprehend the Heavenly Dao of Wind and rejecting the other eight Heavenly Daos.

The second "Dao Seed" that Xu Ming planted was that of the Heavenly Dao of Fire, which he was most skilled at. However, because his body and soul retained the "sequelae" of the Heavenly Dao of Wind, Xu Ming was clearly most skilled at the Heavenly Dao of Fire, but in reality, comprehending it was more difficult and strenuous than the Heavenly Dao of Wind!

The third Heavenly Dao of Water that Xu Ming comprehended was even more difficult to comprehend… …

The more Heavenly Daos Xu Ming comprehended, the more sequelae he had!

And the reason why Xu Ming was able to have a not-weak comprehension of all nine Heavenly Daos was entirely because… … XXed Yin Ran… …

"I just don't know to what extent this black energy can cleanse the sequelae on my body… …" Xu Ming thought to himself, "If it could cleanse away all the sequelae, that would be great!"

With Xu Ming's Heavenly Dao compatibility, if there were no constraints from those sequelae, then his speed of comprehending the nine Heavenly Daos would immediately soar into the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

… …

Fifty breaths later… …

More than a thousand black shadows would pop up every "one-tenth of a breath"!

However… … Xu Ming didn't care!

As the saying goes, one is not afraid of having too many debts, and one is not worried about having too many lice.

At this time, the black shadows surrounding Xu Ming had reached hundreds of thousands!

However, these black shadows only knew close-range attacks, and no matter how many there were, they were just a number; only the small circle of black shadows around him truly posed a threat to Xu Ming.

"The more black shadows there are, the better!" Xu Ming thought to himself, "The more there are, the more black energy I can absorb!"

This black energy was absolutely a good thing! After passing this village, Xu Ming didn't know when he would encounter it again.

At the same time, Xu Ming was secretly on guard: "I don't know when the extreme point of this second level will appear, nor what it will be like… …"

Only by breaking open the "extreme point" can one enter the next level.

And Xu Ming still had a good chance of passing the second level.
