Open up and break into another world

This emerald green bamboo pole was about an inch thick and nine feet long.

Xu Ming felt an extremely rich life aura from the emerald green bamboo pole.

“This is…”

Xu Ming remembered that the Bamboo Saint had been able to grow to over a hundred million miles tall because he had absorbed some kind of special natural treasure.

Now, although the Bamboo Saint was dead, after his body was incinerated, he left behind all the essence of the natural treasure he had absorbed, and it gathered into the emerald green bamboo pole in front of him.

Xu Ming picked up the emerald green bamboo pole, and it felt warm to the touch. He exerted force with both hands, trying to crush the bamboo pole; however, the bamboo pole gave off an extremely tough feeling that Xu Ming simply couldn't crush.

“It can be considered a treasure!” Xu Ming didn't think much about it and directly put the emerald green bamboo pole into his world ring.

… …

After returning to the independent space.

Xu Ming thought that after Erk killed the Bamboo Saint, the Endless Continent would return to peace. But he didn't expect that this was just the beginning of the chaos!

Next, Erk swept across the territory of the Demon Race, then swept across the territory of the Blood Race, and then swept across the territory of the Spirit Race…

One race after another was swept away!

As for the Human Race, because there was an agreement between Xu Ming and Erk, they were fortunate enough not to be swept away.

After the sweep, the major races were almost completely wiped out; each race only had a few members left, hiding in the corners of the Endless Continent, struggling to survive.

At the same time, traces of the Demon Race began to spread throughout the entire Endless Continent in a very high-profile manner.

The Endless Continent returned to tranquility.

But Xu Ming knew that this was the calm before the storm.

If he couldn't find a way to kill Erk, then the destruction of the Human Race was probably not far away!

The time left for Xu Ming was running out!

However, Xu Ming still hadn't found the point of connection between himself and the Heavenly Dao; therefore, he still couldn't prove the Dao and become a god.

There was no use in being anxious. Xu Ming could only slowly comprehend the Heavenly Dao and find the point of connection with the Heavenly Dao.

… …

On the Endless Continent, the sun rose and set, and spring passed and autumn came.

The closer the great battle approached, the more tranquil the atmosphere on the Endless Continent became.

However, this tranquility might be destroyed at any time!

Only the last year remained until the “Ten-Year Agreement”.

“Xu Ming!” The voice transmission of the Extreme Heaven Palace Master rang in Xu Ming's mind.

Xu Ming's human clone suddenly woke up from his cultivation state: “Extreme Heaven Palace Master, what's the situation? — Could it be that Erk is not keeping his word and is attacking in advance?”

“No!” The Extreme Heaven Palace Master said, “Erk is… opening up a Divine Kingdom!”

“Opening up a Divine Kingdom!?” Xu Ming couldn't help but be shocked.

The Extreme Heaven Palace Master said: “Opening up a Divine Kingdom requires a massive amount of resources and treasures! Even if all the treasures of the Demon Race are used up, it probably won't be enough to open up a Divine Kingdom! — However, Erk has swept across the major alien races and must have plundered enough treasures; so, he is now starting to open up a Divine Kingdom!”

“So… Erk swept across the major alien races in order to plunder resources!” Xu Ming suddenly understood — he had been a little strange as to why Erk was in such a hurry to exterminate the major races; now, Xu Ming knew.

The Extreme Heaven Palace Master said helplessly: “After Erk opens up the Divine Kingdom, even if you prove the Dao and become a god in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill him!”

“Alas…” Xu Ming certainly understood this point.

But even if he understood, what was the use? Could he ask him to harass Erk's opening up of the Divine Kingdom now? — Don't mention whether he could successfully harass him, even if he did, Erk would probably kill over and slaughter the Human Race in a fit of anger.

“Alas…” The Extreme Heaven Palace Master also sighed — being inferior in strength, he could only swallow his anger, “I'm just telling you about this, you continue to cultivate!”

“Okay!”

Xu Ming was about to cut off the voice transmission when suddenly, he thought of something, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

“Yes!” The Extreme Heaven Palace Master was stunned, “Xu Ming, are you thinking of…”

Xu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a fierce look in his eyes: “I'm thinking… this is an opportunity! — An opportunity to kill Erk!”

“Extreme Heaven Palace Master!” Xu Ming said seriously, “Although I have cultivated both the Wind and Fire Heavenly Daos to the limit of demigods, I still have no clue as to how to prove the Dao and become a god! — There is only one year left until the 'Ten-Year Agreement', and I know that the hope of proving the Dao and becoming a god within a year is extremely slim!”

“Since that's the case…” Xu Ming's eyes were firm and resolute, “It's better to go all out now! Maybe I can take the opportunity to kill Erk!”

The Extreme Heaven Palace Master pondered for a while: “Xu Ming, how confident are you?”

“I don't know!” Xu Ming said truthfully.

He really didn't know — after all, Xu Ming had no way of knowing how strong the vitality and defense of a god were.

“But…” Xu Ming said again, “If I disregard all the consequences, Erk should undoubtedly die!”

“Hmm?” The Extreme Heaven Palace Master heard that Xu Ming might be planning to put himself in danger!

“Xu Ming!” The Extreme Heaven Palace Master said quickly, “You are the future hope of the Human Race! Your safety is the most important thing! If you really can't kill Erk, then…” The Extreme Heaven Palace Master's voice was a little bitter, “Then come back! — For the race, your life is much more important than the lives of hundreds of millions of the bottom-level clansmen!”

The Extreme Heaven Palace Master's implication was: rather abandon the hundreds of millions of bottom-level clansmen in the three thousand six hundred territories than have Xu Ming risk his life!

After all, no matter how many bottom-level clansmen die, they can proliferate and spread throughout the entire Endless Continent in just a few years. But a monstrous genius like Xu Ming is someone that the entire Human Race cannot produce in countless eras! — Which is more important, hundreds of millions of clansmen or Xu Ming?

“I have my own sense of proportion!” Xu Ming said, “By the way, Extreme Heaven Palace Master, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?”

“I've already prepared it!” The Extreme Heaven Palace Master said, “All the artifacts of the Human Race are already here with me, you can just come and get them! — But Xu Ming, can you tell me, what's the use of you bringing so many artifacts? Like material attack artifacts, you want to bring six or seven at the same time?”

All the artifacts of the Human Race, including those in Xu Ming's hands, totaled nine!

Among them, seven were material attack artifacts, one was a soul attack artifact “Eye of Decay”, and one was a domain artifact “Mirror of Asking Heaven”.

“Secret!” Xu Ming said, “This is my last trump card, I really don't want to use this move unless it's absolutely necessary!”

The Extreme Heaven Palace Master didn't ask any more questions. He believed in Xu Ming.

… …

At the same time, Xu Ming sent a voice transmission to Zhang Hao: “Little Hao, how many hydrogen bombs have you manufactured?”

“Eleven!” Zhang Hao replied, “I have strictly calculated the power, all of them are the power to cover a hundred territories!”

“Okay! I'll come and get them now!” Xu Ming said.

“So fast, Brother Ming?” Zhang Hao was stunned, “Isn't there still a year left?”

“It's ahead of schedule!” Xu Ming didn't say much, and teleported to Zhang Hao's side. Then, he teleported to the Nine Radiance Divine Kingdom and asked the Extreme Heaven Palace Master for the artifacts.
