I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

No matter what kind of martial art or secret technique it is, there is a gradual process of progress.

Even the "Limitless Sword Technique," starting from Sword Ten, requires the martial will that one should possess at the Yuantai Realm.

Shen Ming broke through the sea of ​​suffering and obtained more immeasurable power than anyone else.

Indeed, there is no way to use sword techniques at will.

This is the reason for Ji Xuan's arrogance!

He even believed that Shen Ming's immeasurable power was inferior to his own.

Therefore, this punch nearly shattered his Dao heart.

What kind of being could create a secret technique that disregards the rules of martial arts!

Ji Xuan didn't believe in superstition and thought that it was something that could only be done by paying a huge price.

"Dragon Fist!"

He unleashed a secret technique that only those with true dragon blood can perform!

A vast golden light gathered around his entire body, and the moment he threw a punch, it was as if a giant dragon had charged out.

Shen Ming neither dodged nor evaded. Not to mention that the power of the Great Void was superior to his, he had already established a Holy Body and Dao Embryo, so why should he fear physical collision?

He stepped forward, throwing punches with both hands, each one a powerful ancient king's fist!

This is a boxing style that was learned from ancient apes.

Ancient apes were not human and did not need to practice martial arts; each attack involved gathering all their strength.

Each punch was like thunder, and Ji Xuan's golden dragon seemed to be undergoing a tribulation of lightning, its body gradually cracking.

Ji Xuan's face was contorted with rage, unable to accept it.

He was six years older than Shen Ming, and those extra six years gave him a significant advantage over a major realm.

Last time at Xiaoyao Peak, he tried to shake Shen Mingdao's resolve.

What is momentary glory does not define a lifetime.

As a result, Shen Ming proved to him with facts that the two of them were not born in the same era, and he should be thankful for it!

In the end, Ji Xuan's Dragon Fist was completely shattered.

He staggered a few steps, looking quite disheveled.

Both followers were dumbfounded and speechless.

Ji Xuan, the divine son of the Ji family.

The person he was benchmarking against was the Divine Son of the Xuantian Sect, who was from a different era than Shen Ming.

But now...

"Don't be so smug! You're only enjoying the limelight of the Pagoda. Once you're out in the world, you'll show your true colors again. You're not even as good as one of my fingers."

Ji Xuan tried to save face, but his words sounded blustering.

"That makes sense, so you might as well die here."

Shen Ming made up his mind and charged ahead.

"What?! You're going to kill me?"

Ji Xuan was dumbfounded. Was this Xuan Tianzi really so ruthless?

This level of conflict is tantamount to a life-or-death situation!

If he were a minor character, one could say that Shen Ming was bloodthirsty.

The problem is, he is the divine son of the Ji family!

However, Shen Ming only intervened because he was the divine son of the Ji family.

The Jiang family and the Ji family are two major families in the Northern Region. They are not exactly irreconcilable enemies, but they have accumulated grudges and hatreds.

The two divine sons engage in fierce battles in every generation.

Now, with the timing and circumstances in his favor, he had the urge to kill just now.

Hearing Ji Xuan's annoying shouts, Shen Ming made up his mind to kill him.

His murderous intent was not based on hatred or grudges, but rather on the fact that, as the heir of the Jiang family, it was something he should do.

In a world where the strong rule, killing is the only way to stop killing.

"Ancient King Fist!"

Feeling the surging power of the punch and the real killing intent, Ji Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

What grudge? What resentment?

"You're ready to kill someone just because they made a few sarcastic remarks? Why don't you go and kill Zhou Mutian instead!" Ji Xuan shouted.

"Not urgent."

As he spoke, Shen Ming threw another punch.

Simple and unadorned, yet utterly devastating, it shattered Ji Xuan's outer garment, revealing an inner armor that released an energy shield that enveloped him.

"Shen Ming! I am the divine son of the Ji family! If you kill me, the Xuantian Sect will not be able to protect you!" Ji Xuan shouted fiercely.

"Relax."

Shen Ming threw another punch, causing a crack to appear in the energy shield.

Two of Ji Xuan's followers took off running.

Shen Ming dared to kill even Ji Xuan, so dealing with them was just a piece of cake.

Ji Xuan felt dizzy and lightheaded. Although his armor had blocked the attack, the aftershocks still made him feel uncomfortable.

"Dizziness is normal."

Shen Ming unleashed a barrage of punches, the force of which, like a storm, caused the cracks in the energy armor to widen rapidly.

Ji Xuan finally realized that this guy really wanted to kill him.

Sweat dripped down his cheeks, and his heart pounded in his chest like a drum.

Without further hesitation, he swiftly reached into his robes with his right hand.

His fingers trembled slightly as he pulled an ancient and mysterious talisman from his pocket.

The ancient rune emitted a strange light, and its runes contained the essence of the Great Dao.

Ji Xuan made a tough decision and activated the ancient talisman.

The ancient rune shone brightly, and a dazzling light enveloped him.

As the light flashed, his figure gradually blurred until it completely disappeared from the spot.

As soon as the person disappeared, the protective shield also disappeared, and Shen Ming punched empty space.

"Great Teleportation Talisman!"

This ancient talisman is a life-saving item in times of crisis and is extremely precious.

Because it can only be used once, it is, in some ways, even rarer than the glass prayer beads he had just obtained.

Shen Ming wasn't particularly disappointed; it was just a passing interest. Ji Xuan had suffered a heavy loss by losing a Great Teleportation Talisman.

Ok?

Unintentionally, Shen Ming saw two tea leaves where Ji Xuan had disappeared. They were emerald green and had clearly visible veins, like delicate silk threads intertwined to outline the patterns of the Great Dao of Nature.

"Enlightenment Tea!"

Legend has it that each tea leaf can reveal the profound mysteries of martial arts and reveal the true secrets of techniques.

It must have been an opportunity that Ji Xuan obtained at the Floating Pagoda. The Great Teleportation Talisman teleported him out, but he couldn't take the tea leaves with him.

It's estimated that some kind of restriction on the Pagoda was triggered to prevent anyone from stealing its treasures.

Shen Ming smiled knowingly and accepted the two tea leaves.

……

The Ji family, in a certain grotto-heaven.

This is the location of the Great Teleportation Talisman, and also the safest place for the Ji family.

"Shen Ming! I will fight you to the death!"

Ji Xuan immediately burst into curses, his heart bleeding.

The Great Teleportation Talisman was a life-saving artifact he obtained after becoming a divine son, giving him the confidence to navigate various dangerous situations.

Now that it's been used up so inexplicably, especially after discovering that the Enlightenment Tea wasn't brought along, I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He had previously said that Shen Ming was not qualified to compete for the opportunity.

Now look what happened! Not only did he not get the opportunity, he also lost a precious ancient talisman!

"Ji Xuan! What has happened? Who dares to kill you!"

An incomparably powerful aura appeared out of thin air; it was from an ancestor of the Ji family.

The Ji family's divine son used the Great Teleportation Talisman, which was equivalent to being killed once.

"Aren't you at the Xuantian Sect? Where are the elders who protect you?!" the Ji family patriarch asked.

Ji Xuan recounted the story of the fateful struggle surrounding the Floating Pagoda.

"Who killed you?" asked the Ji family patriarch.

Ji Xuan wanted to say that he was still alive and had not been killed.

Under the pressure of the patriarch, he answered truthfully: "Xuantian Sect, Shen Ming."

"What level of cultivation!"

"Divine Treasure Realm, Level Three".

Ji Xuan blurted it out, and then knew he was in trouble.

The Ji family patriarch's anger suddenly turned into confusion, and he looked at him with disbelief.

"You are at the fifth level of the Yuantai Realm, at the ninth rank, which is six and a half levels away from being reached."

Five layers and nine steps, forty-five steps, plus eight steps with four and five levels of divine treasure!

Are you telling me you were killed by someone who challenged you 53 levels higher?!

The Ji family patriarch was furious. Even if you were a pig, you wouldn't be this despicable!
