Open up and break into another world

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!…

The battalion of soldiers who teleported in with Xu Ming numbered a full five thousand.

The ordinary soldiers were all at the Chaotic Realm; and their captain was at the Profound Yellow Realm!

Under the captain's lead, these five thousand soldiers flew directly towards Demon Quelling Ridge.

"So many experts!" Xu Ming sighed once more.

In a desolate place like the Divine Domain, one wouldn't even see a single Star Lord.

And in first-grade forces like the Myriad Dragon Abyss and the Azure Flame Pavilion, the Chaotic Realm was a super existence that ruled over a region!

However, when placed in the entire Chaos Nation, the Chaotic Realm really wasn't anything!

Within second-grade and third-grade forces, Chaotic Realm experts were as common as dogs!

—Only by going to the most prosperous places could one come into contact with more experts, and one's strength would grow faster!

Lingering in a small place like Broken Realm Island would only make oneself complacent and slow down progress!

"I must find Hanmo as soon as possible!"

Although Xu Ming didn't know how big the difference in strength between himself and Gu Hanmo was, Xu Ming would continue to work towards becoming stronger!

Becoming stronger sooner would allow him to find Gu Hanmo sooner and help Gu Hanmo sooner!

"Let's go over too!" At this time, the other experts beside Xu Ming also said.

These dozen or so experts were all disciples from other second-grade and third-grade forces; like Xu Ming, they had come to participate in the assessment and trials.

"Alright!"

One expert after another followed behind the army and flew towards Demon Quelling Ridge.

The five thousand soldiers of Demon Quelling Ridge flew directly into Demon Quelling Ridge; however, Xu Ming and the other dozen or so experts were stopped outside the fortress.

"Who goes there? Step forward and verify your identities!" a guard captain shouted sternly.

Routine identity verification was the rule of every major fortress!

After all, the Extraterritorial Demons didn't necessarily attack from outside the territory; they could also sneak in from within the Chaos Nation!

—The newly arrived soldiers had a Profound Yellow Realm captain leading them and had been verified in advance, so there was naturally no fear of spies sneaking in; however, "freelancers" like Xu Ming weren't necessarily of clear origin.

Therefore, Xu Ming and the others didn't resist and prepared to step forward to accept the verification.

But just then…

Boom!!!

Behind Xu Ming and the others, a team of more than twenty people rushed towards Demon Quelling Ridge in a boisterous manner.

"Stop!!" the guard captain shouted angrily and stepped forward to stop them.

"Get out of the way!!" the tall youth leading the boisterously arriving team coldly snorted, "You dare stop people from the Corpse Refinement Temple?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across the guard captain's face, but he still made way.

Although the Corpse Refinement Temple was only a third-grade force, there were also differences in strength among third-grade forces!

The Corpse Refinement Temple belonged to the extremely strong among the third-grade forces, not far from being a fourth-grade force!

Moreover, the Corpse Refinement Temple had a very large influence in the Demon Quelling Ridge Fortress!

Even the guard captain, upon hearing that they were "people from the Corpse Refinement Temple," immediately didn't dare to stop them.

"Corpse Refinement Temple…" Xu Ming's eyes narrowed sharply.

The reason Gu Hanmo was forced to reveal her identity was because the Myriad Corpse Great Emperor of the Corpse Refinement Temple had descended upon the Divine Domain.

Although Gu Hanmo had already used supreme divine powers to disrupt space-time and modify the past years; it seemed as if the "Myriad Corpse Great Emperor" had never appeared in the Corpse Refinement Temple!

But—Xu Ming's hatred for the Corpse Refinement Temple wouldn't be erased because of this!

Xu Ming was the Corpse Refinement Temple's hidden enemy!

However… to the current Xu Ming, the Corpse Refinement Temple was completely an unchallengeable behemoth!

One had to know that even Broken Realm Island was far inferior to the Corpse Refinement Temple!

Xu Ming was still far from being able to destroy the Corpse Refinement Temple!

Of course, if there was an opportunity to kill a few people from the Corpse Refinement Temple, Xu Ming would definitely not be polite!

"Hmph! The disciples of the Corpse Refinement Temple are really arrogant enough!" beside Xu Ming, a white-robed swordsman said angrily.

Another saber-wielder said, "They aren't all disciples of the Corpse Refinement Temple! Some of them are from the Corpse Refinement Temple's affiliated forces!"

"No matter what, they are too arrogant! They simply treat Demon Quelling Ridge as their home!"

However, these disciples around Xu Ming could only mutter in secret.

Before coming to Demon Quelling Ridge, they had already been warned not to offend the Corpse Refinement Temple here!

The Corpse Refinement Temple's power in Demon Quelling Ridge wasn't something they could afford to offend!

"Keep your voices down! If the Corpse Refinement Temple hears you, it will inevitably bring unwarranted disaster!"

"Alas…" the geniuses who came to train all sighed silently—who told them that the situation wasn't in their favor?

"Xu Ming!" At this time, the white-robed swordsman transmitted his voice, "Your Broken Realm Island's mortal enemy, 'Nine Desolation Mountain,' is attached to the Corpse Refinement Temple!

If you encounter disciples of Nine Desolation Mountain here, you must be careful!"

The white-robed swordsman's name was "Jiang Yun"; he was a disciple of the third-grade force Qi Yun Pavilion whom Xu Ming had met on the way here.

Along the way, he had told Xu Ming a lot about the fortress and the Boundless Chaos; they got along quite happily!

"Thank you!" Xu Ming said, not taking it very seriously.

The disciples that Nine Desolation Mountain sent to Demon Quelling Ridge were at most at the Chaotic Realm!

Looking at the Chaotic Realm, Xu Ming believed that he had no rivals!

As for the Corpse Refinement Temple, there might be Profound Yellow Realm experts in Demon Quelling Ridge!

However, the Chaos Nation's fortresses naturally had rules; Profound Yellow Realm experts couldn't bully the weak here!

Therefore, Xu Ming seemed like a lone wolf, isolated and helpless; but in reality, he was truly fearless in Demon Quelling Ridge!

Entering the fortress, Xu Ming and the others were directly assigned a Chaos World each—here, the number of Chaos Worlds was much larger than the number of soldiers!

After a short rest, the swordsman Jiang Yun, the saber-wielder Wuying, and others came to invite Xu Ming to view the front lines.

The outermost perimeter of Demon Quelling Ridge was a huge barrier that was open all year round; outside the barrier was the Extraterritorial!

Within the fortress, a full hundred thousand soldiers would guard the barrier for a long time; the other hundreds of thousands of soldiers were ready to set off at any time!

"Is that the Extraterritorial?"

Xu Ming, Jiang Yun, Wuying, and others stood at the edge of the barrier, looking into the distance.

The Extraterritorial was a hazy scene of rolling Boundless Chaos Qi, making it impossible for Xu Ming and the others to see very far.

Jiang Yun said, "Our Chaos Nation occupies this fortress; therefore, we can often kill our way out to hunt Extraterritorial Demons!

And the Extraterritorial Demons, because they don't have the support of a fortress, can only be passively slaughtered!"

"Mm!" Xu Ming nodded.

His hundred thousand war merits had to be obtained by killing in the Extraterritorial.
