Open up and break into another world

Walking into Sword Anthem Imperial City, Xu Ming felt slightly restrained.

After all, he was about to meet the ruler of billions of realms, the legendary figure who founded the Chaos Kingdom—Sword Anthem Ruler!

Although the Sword Anthem Chaos Kingdom seemed insignificant in the entire endless chaos, that was in comparison to the entire endless chaos!

To Xu Ming, the Sword Anthem Ruler's strength was simply too great!

The Realm of Myriad Manifestations...

In terms of strength, he was a full two major realms stronger than Xu Ming!

Even if Xu Ming used all his tricks, he would hardly be able to do anything to the Sword Anthem Ruler.

Of course, Xu Ming wasn't too afraid of him!

After all, even if the Sword Anthem Ruler killed him, Xu Ming could immediately revive with the "Mark of Immortality," merely losing some treasures on his body.

...

Within the Sword Anthem Imperial City, there weren't many guards; it seemed somewhat deserted.

Only occasionally would one or two Profound Yellow Realm experts be seen sitting cross-legged at the locations of some array eyes, cultivating while guarding the Imperial City.

These Profound Yellow Realm experts were all high-level; if placed outside, they could easily become leaders of top-tier second-grade forces, yet they were willing to serve as guards in the Imperial City, living an extremely monotonous life!

Clearly, they all had higher pursuits in the path of cultivation; and serving as guards in the Imperial City, occasionally hearing the Sword Anthem Ruler and other super existences lecture, was an excellent cultivation environment for them.

"I can't beat any of these guards!" Xu Ming thought to himself.

Xu Ming's current strength was only at the second level of the Profound Yellow Realm; even if he used "Myriad Dao Ephemeral Flower" or activated the "Infinite Clone" cheat, it would be almost impossible to defeat a high-level Profound Yellow Realm expert!

However, what Xu Ming didn't know was that these Profound Yellow Realm guards, with the aid of the Imperial City's array formations, each possessed the battle power of the Primordial Realm!

If all the guards within the Imperial City formed a battle formation, even a top-tier Primordial Realm existence wouldn't dare to intrude!

Before long, Xu Ming, led by Shadow, arrived at the Imperial City's main hall.

As the Sword Anthem Ruler spoke, the surrounding space twisted, and the scene before them shifted; the Imperial City's main hall had actually transformed into a tea garden.

Xu Ming, the Sword Anthem Ruler, and Shadow sat around a stone table in the center of the tea garden; tea had already been brewed on the table.

"Eh?" Xu Ming was somewhat surprised—how, in the blink of an eye, had they gone from the Imperial City's main hall to a secluded tea garden?

The Sword Anthem Ruler smiled: "This tea garden was created by me, twisting space within the Imperial City! Those halls outside are for dealing with the weak; only those qualified to be treated as my friends can enter this tea garden!"

Clearly, the Sword Anthem Ruler already regarded Xu Ming as a friend, even though Xu Ming was still very weak.

After a few rounds of tea.

The Sword Anthem Ruler finally got down to business: "Xu Ming, I summoned you here, firstly because I hope you will join our Sword Anthem Imperial City; looking at the Sword Anthem Chaos Kingdom, it seems there is no better force worth joining!

Rest assured, as long as you are willing to join, from then on, you and I will be equal, without distinction between superior and inferior; all the resources you need for cultivation, I can provide!"

"Secondly... I hope you can participate in the Myriad Realm Genius Battle!"

The Sword Anthem Ruler looked at Xu Ming.

In fact, the Sword Anthem Ruler would profit no matter what, with a genius like Xu Ming appearing in the Chaos Kingdom!

If Xu Ming was willing to join the Sword Anthem Imperial City, then their Sword Anthem Imperial City would have drawn in a future super expert!

In the Sword Anthem Ruler's view, with Xu Ming's talent, it shouldn't be difficult to become a Realm of Myriad Manifestations expert in the future; even becoming an existence above the Realm of Destruction was possible!

And if Xu Ming was unwilling to join the Sword Anthem Imperial City, then he probably wouldn't look favorably on other forces within the Sword Anthem Chaos Kingdom, and would instead participate in the Myriad Realm Genius Battle!

That way, as long as Xu Ming performed impressively in the Myriad Realm Genius Battle, then the Domain Lord would also reward the Sword Anthem Ruler.

Therefore, when the Sword Anthem Ruler said these two things, he seemed to be waiting for Xu Ming's answer, but in reality, he no longer cared how Xu Ming answered.

In any case, Xu Ming's sudden emergence was a good thing for him!

Sure enough, Xu Ming took a sip of tea, and then said solemnly: "I want to see a wider world!"

This sentence had already answered the Sword Anthem Ruler's two questions—he wouldn't join the Sword Anthem Imperial City, but he would participate in the Myriad Realm Genius Battle!

"Hahaha..." The Sword Anthem Ruler laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! Back then, when I was young, I also had such lofty ambitions; I traveled the endless chaos alone, singing with my sword, even wandering outside the domain, and finally cultivated to the Realm of Myriad Manifestations, founding this Chaos Kingdom!

It's just that... after founding the Chaos Kingdom, I was instead bound by worldly affairs, and could no longer find the ambition I had back then!"

The Sword Anthem Ruler smiled, picked up his teacup, and said: "This cup is to you, hoping you can go higher and farther than me!"

"Thank you!" Xu Ming smiled wryly in his heart—in fact, Xu Ming didn't have much lofty ambition, he just wanted to become stronger and help Gu Hanmo, that was all.

The three of them drank tea and chatted for several days.

After that, Shadow directly arranged for Xu Ming to stay in the Imperial City.

The Sword Anthem Ruler slowly stood up from the stone table; at this time, his aura changed, no longer an ethereal swordsman, but a majestic emperor.

"A good relationship has already been formed! After chatting for a few days, this Xu Ming should also be a person who values ​​loyalty!" The Sword Anthem Ruler smiled, "I hope he can go higher and farther, so that the rewards bestowed by the Domain Lord in the future will also be greater!

If Xu Ming becomes a super expert who dominates the endless chaos in the future, I also hope he remembers the friendship of drinking tea and laughing in the tea garden!"

The Sword Anthem Ruler's cultivation had reached a bottleneck; it was extremely difficult for his own strength to break through again!

Therefore, the Sword Anthem Ruler could only make more friends to enhance his "external strength".

In fact, wouldn't the leaders of the other third-grade forces in the Chaos Kingdom be the same?—unable to enhance "own strength", then enhance "external strength"!

It was precisely because of this that the various forces in the Chaos Kingdom valued Xu Ming, this potential "external strength", so much!

...

A few days later.

Shadow came to see Xu Ming and said: "Xu Ming, let's go, I'll take you to the Primordial Alliance to meet Mountain Master Ji Mo and other experts from various parties!

They are all waiting for you there!"

"Primordial Alliance?" Xu Ming was somewhat puzzled.

The new plot is about to begin, I need to sort out the subsequent plot carefully, so there is only one chapter today, please forgive me.

In the past year, thank you brothers and sisters for your support, I wish you all a happy new year! Thank you very much!
