Open up and break into another world

One hundred and thirtieth breath…

Among the Divine Domain geniuses in the same group as Xu Ming, someone finally couldn't hold on and was defeated.

The reason this Divine Domain genius was able to persist for so long wasn't because he had improved greatly in the past half month, but because he chose to take a shortcut and "hide" as soon as he entered the Ninefold Realm world.

He had no choice but to hide!

If he had tried to withstand it head-on, with his strength, he would only be able to withstand it for a few dozen breaths before being defeated.

And there were only ten spots for entering the third stage of the test. He had to persist long enough in the first realm to obtain a spot.

Most of the other Divine Domain geniuses also chose to "hide"—they were racking their brains to enter the third stage.

One hundred and eightieth breath…

Except for Xu Ming and Qian Yi Shang, the other geniuses had already been defeated in the first realm.

Two hundred and thirtieth breath…

Cracks actually appeared on the smooth stone wall that Qian Yi Shang's palm was touching!—Qian Yi Shang had also successfully passed the first realm!

This was actually not surprising.

After all, during the first test, Qian Yi Shang was almost able to pass the first realm. Now that Qian Yi Shang's strength had improved again, it was only natural that he could pass the first realm.

After another three breaths, Qian Yi Shang was defeated.

Yes, Qian Yi Shang only lasted a pitiful three breaths in the second realm!

There was no way around it. Qian Yi Shang's strength was only at the "eighteenth level." Facing a group of black shadows whose attacks reached the "eighteenth level," he couldn't defend against all the attacks, so naturally he couldn't last long.

However, Qian Yi Shang was already satisfied that he could pass the first realm.

"I've finally joined the ranks of the top geniuses in the Divine Domain!" Qian Yi Shang was radiant.

Passing the first realm meant being a top genius in the Divine Domain; passing the second realm meant being an invincible genius in the Divine Domain.

Qian Yi Shang's life goal was to become a top genius in the Divine Domain!

As for an invincible genius…he didn't dare to hope for that.

"Hmm?" Qian Yi Shang couldn't help but turn to Xu Ming, "This kid can actually persist in the first realm until now without coming out! His strength is no less than when I took the first test before!"

Of course, Qian Yi Shang wouldn't know that Xu Ming had already passed the first realm; he was now being tested in the second realm.

Two hundred and fiftieth breath…

"He actually persisted for two hundred and fifty breaths in the Ninefold Realm?" Qian Yi Shang was a little incredulous.

Immediately, Qian Yi Shang was a little disdainful: "The Ninefold Realm test isn't about who persists the longest, but about who climbs the highest!—What's the use of persisting for a long time without passing the first realm?"

Just then—

Crack…

Spiderweb-like cracks also appeared at the position where Xu Ming's palm touched the stone wall.

But City Lord Nai He's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was secretly shocked: "Xu Ming passed the second realm!??"

Such large cracks were the sign of passing the second realm.

"A monster!"

City Lord Nai He couldn't find the words to describe Xu Ming anymore.

At only five thousand years old, he could pass the second realm of the Ninefold Realm and become an "Invincible Genius of the Divine Domain"; City Lord Nai He had truly never seen such talent in his life!

Fortunately, City Lord Nai He didn't know that Xu Ming was actually only fifty years old…

Then, City Lord Nai He became expectant: "I wonder… how long Xu Ming can last in the third realm!"

The third realm was usually not for demigods to break through, but for gods!

Which demigod, if they could last even one breath in the third realm, would be considered "great"! After all, the opponents in the third realm were at least at the "twentieth level"!

It was rare for a demigod to break through the third realm in the entire Divine Domain.

City Lord Nai He waited carefully…

Soon, one breath passed.

"Xu Ming lasted one breath!" City Lord Nai He's eyes burst with light—lasting one breath in the third realm was even harder than passing the second realm!

Then, another breath.

"Two breaths!" It was simply legendary for a demigod to last two breaths in the third realm!

However, just after lasting two breaths, Xu Ming was defeated—the difficulty of the third realm was too high, and even with Xu Ming's current strength, it was difficult to last long.

"Hoo…" Qian Yi Shang breathed a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Xu Ming didn't last as long as I did in the second realm!"

He thought that Xu Ming had lasted two breaths in the second realm; he didn't even dare to think that Xu Ming had already reached the third realm!

Whoosh…

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

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

"The third realm is indeed extremely difficult!" Xu Ming shook his head secretly.

However, although he only lasted a short two breaths in the third realm, Xu Ming also gained a lot of benefits—his two great Heavenly Daos of Wind and Fire were fused even more deeply in the third realm! In terms of strength, it naturally rose accordingly.

"Xu Ming!"

Xu Ming was savoring the monstrous power in the third realm world when a sharp voice sounded inappropriately—it was Qian Yi Shang.

Qian Yi Shang looked at Xu Ming with a mocking and provocative expression: "My score was lasting three breaths in the second realm! And you only lasted two breaths!—Alright, you lost, it's time to kneel down and call me Daddy!"

"I lost?" Xu Ming was too lazy to say anything and looked directly at City Lord Nai He, waiting for him to announce the results.

"What? You refuse to admit defeat after losing? Want City Lord Nai He to intercede for you?" Qian Yi Shang said with a provocative smile, "It's most shameful to go back on a bet!"

Xu Ming smiled coldly: "What's the rush! City Lord Nai He hasn't announced the results yet, how do you know you won?"

"Haha, who wins and who loses, isn't it obvious? Is there even a need to announce the results?" Qian Yi Shang smiled disdainfully.

"I think… it's still necessary to announce it!" At this time, City Lord Nai He directly interrupted, "I announce that the first place in the second stage of the test is…"

"It must be me!" Qian Yi Shang smiled faintly—he was very confident!

"It must be Qian Yi Shang…" The other Divine Domain geniuses also thought without hesitation.

However, the result was often unexpected.

"I announce that the first place in the second stage of the test is… Xu Ming!!"

"What!??" Qian Yi Shang was shocked.

"What!??" The Divine Domain geniuses were also extremely shocked.

Only Xi Ye had already expected this result: "That idiot Qian Yi Shang didn't even see that Xu Ming had passed the second realm…"

"Why is this happening?" Qian Yi Shang looked at City Lord Nai He in disbelief, "The second stage of the test only looks at strength and not talent or potential! I clearly lasted one breath longer than Xu Ming, why is he ranked first instead?"

"You lasted one breath longer than Xu Ming?" City Lord Nai He looked at Qian Yi Shang playfully.

I'm going, writing is so painful, continue coding.
