Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming wore an expression of “invincible loneliness” on his face.

As Xu Ming walked back to his seat, Domain Lord Tianwen couldn't help but smile and transmit his voice: “Do you feel like the geniuses of the entire Endless Chaos are nothing more than that?”

“A little!” Xu Ming said.

“These are just the geniuses of one era; there really aren't many outstanding ones! There's also Fei Xue… but he was forced by you into the worst Myriad Things Secret Realm, greatly reducing his opportunities. His future achievements may not be much!” Domain Lord Tianwen sighed, “However… even among the ten geniuses in the Chaos Secret Realm, besides you, the others probably won't achieve much! Among the nine of them, it would be great if even one could reach the Nirvana Realm!”

“Hmm?” Xu Ming couldn't help but wonder, “Didn't they say… as long as you stand out from the Myriad Domains Genius Battle, you have a great chance of becoming a Domain Lord in the future?”

Domain Lord Tianwen shook his head and smiled: “How can there be so many Domain Lords… It's just a deliberate way of saying it to make more geniuses willing to participate in the Myriad Domains Genius Battle; but in reality, the Myriad Domains Genius Battle is just the first trial they experience! Of course… compared to other paths, geniuses who stand out from the Myriad Domains Genius Battle do have a much higher probability of achieving Great Power!”

“Indeed!” Xu Ming nodded.

A Domain Lord is already a being close to the peak in the Endless Chaos!

Every Domain Lord is a being who dominates a domain!

“Xu Ming!” Domain Lord Tianwen said again, “After entering the Chaos Secret Realm, you need to be careful!”

“Hmm?”

Domain Lord Tianwen continued, “The other nine geniuses of this era naturally pose no threat to you! However, the geniuses who won in the Myriad Domains Genius Battles of previous eras have cultivated for an era or even longer than you; those geniuses are not easy to deal with! — Although your talent is strong, it's best to be more low-key when facing the geniuses of previous eras!”

Be more low-key?

Xu Ming did not answer — whether Xu Ming can be more low-key depends on whether the geniuses of previous eras have the strength to make him be!

…

On the battle stage, the round-robin battles of the nine geniuses quickly yielded results.

The ranking of the top ten came out, and Xu Ming ranked first, "winning without a fight."

The top ten geniuses can all enter the Chaos Secret Realm; however, the higher the ranking, the more rewards!

“Xu Ming!” Realm Lord Qingluan looked at Xu Ming with a smile — obviously, he was very satisfied that a genius like Xu Ming could emerge in this session of the Myriad Domains Genius Battle.

“Realm Lord Qingluan!” Xu Ming noticed that a small bronze bottle appeared in Realm Lord Qingluan's hand. Various secret patterns sealed the small bottle.

“Xu Ming, this is your reward — ten drops of Divine Phoenix Essence!” Realm Lord Qingluan said, and the small bronze bottle flew directly towards Xu Ming.

“Hmm?” Xu Ming couldn't help but feel a little puzzled — usually, treasures are directly stored in the World Ring; but this Divine Phoenix Essence is not stored in the World Ring, but in this special small bottle.

“Could it be… the World Ring can't bear the Divine Phoenix Essence?” Xu Ming thought to himself.

In fact, there are many treasures that the World Ring cannot bear. For example, some treasures have extremely strong power; once placed in the World Ring, they will cause the World Ring to shatter.

And if the Divine Phoenix Essence is carried in the World Ring, it will probably dissipate quickly.

“Second place, Liuhen, reward five drops of Divine Phoenix Essence!”

“Third place, Lengshe, reward three drops of Divine Phoenix Essence!”

…

“Sixth place, Chiyun, reward one hundred drops of Divine Phoenix Blood!”

…

The top ten geniuses all received Divine Phoenix Essence or Divine Phoenix Blood as rewards. As for the geniuses ranked eleventh and below, they received no rewards.

Of course, for those geniuses, being able to enter the Xuanhuang Secret Realm, the Primordial Secret Realm, and the Myriad Things Secret Realm was already the most precious reward! The resources they can enjoy in the secret realms are simply unavailable outside the secret realms!

However, there were also some geniuses who were not satisfied with their ranking and felt that they could have entered a better secret realm! Among them, the most aggrieved was undoubtedly Fei Xue!

Originally, Fei Xue thought that with his "once-in-ten-eras" talent, winning the championship would not be a problem. As a result, because he provoked Xu Ming, he was directly sent to the worst Myriad Things Secret Realm.

…

The Myriad Domains Genius Battle finally came to an end.

This was a grand feast, and also a meat grinder for the geniuses of the ten thousand domains of the Endless Chaos!

More than ten trillion geniuses died in this grand feast! A lot of their luck was plundered by the geniuses who killed them; more of it dissolved into this endless world.

You must know that the higher the talent of a genius, the stronger the power of luck on his body; the power of luck of ten trillion geniuses is even more unimaginably vast! However… the luck of ten trillion geniuses dissolving into the Endless Chaos is like a drop of water dripping into the sea.

“Xu Ming, be careful when you go to the Chaos Secret Realm, and don't slack off in your cultivation!” It was rare for Domain Lord Tianwen to speak to Xu Ming in a teaching tone, “I will stay in the Origin Land for a few more days, meet some old friends, and then return to Tianwen Domain!”

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ send!

“Thank you for your care, Domain Lord Tianwen!” Xu Ming cupped his hands and thanked him.

“Haha! I didn't take care of you; I just did my duty!” Domain Lord Tianwen smiled, “Xu Ming, the next time we meet, I hope your strength can shock me!”

Xu Ming also smiled: “It definitely will!”

Domain Lord Tianwen certainly couldn't imagine that when he saw Xu Ming next time, it would be more than just "shocking"… it would simply be shocking enough to doubt his life!

Sword Old also brought Jian Feng over.

“Xu Ming, being able to see a genius like you is not in vain for me to come out of seclusion!” Sword Old had been in seclusion for a long time and rarely appeared in the Endless Chaos.

In fact, in the entire Endless Chaos, Sword Old is not the only Realm Lord in seclusion.

“I'm also going back to Lan Realm Peak! I hope that the next time I come out of seclusion, you are still… alive!” Sword Old smiled.

Sword Old's expectations for Xu Ming seemed very low; but you must know that Sword Old only comes out of seclusion once every so many eras! — If Xu Ming is still alive the next time Sword Old comes out of seclusion, then Xu Ming's strength will have grown to an incredible level!

After saying goodbye to Sword Old, Domain Lord Tianwen, and others, Xu Ming and the other geniuses gathered around Realm Lord Qingluan.

“Let's go! Follow me to the Four Great Secret Realms!” Realm Lord Qingluan waved his sleeves, and endless flames burned under the feet of the ten thousand geniuses; however, these flames would not harm the geniuses such as Xu Ming, but distorted the surrounding space. It was an extremely profound space teleportation secret technique.

In just an instant, Realm Lord Qingluan had already taken Xu Ming and the other geniuses away from the battle stage.

Xu Ming looked back, not knowing where he was.

Today's update is complete, thank you!

The end of one plot, the beginning of another; such transitional chapters may be a little boring, but they have to be written. Starting tomorrow, look for new ways to act cool.
