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

Despite his burning anger, Hui Li dared not show it.

With cautious anticipation, Shen Ming withdrew his killing intent and injected a boundless sword energy into the opponent's body, suppressing his life force.

Hui Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of disdain in his smile.

This human was still aware of the situation and wanted to take him hostage in exchange for his life.

“My Lord Xuan, the ancient race is different from our human race. They have no compassion and no way to empathize with others,” Yuan Yao said.

Hui's heart pounded, and she cursed under her breath, "You bastard!"

“It’s alright, I’m not keeping him as a hostage,” Shen Ming said.

He remembered what Elder Xuan Yuan had said earlier: the ancient clans were in the shadows, while they were in the light, making them impossible to guard against.

Since this ancient clan member is so afraid of losing his life, we should be able to extract information from him.

Hui Li looked suspicious, worried that Shen Ming might deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

"Let's go."

Outside the treasure, the land was riddled with holes, the ground was cracked, and the mountains had collapsed.

Thirteen monstrous dragon corpses lay scattered about, their deaths gruesome.

The dragon's leader's head was blown off, and the blood and flesh that spurted out were extremely poisonous, polluting a large area.

Xuan Yuan stood on a high place, looking much thinner, with the bones on both sides of his cheeks clearly visible.

He looked like a clothes hanger, holding up the loose white robe.

"The evil dragon clan is nothing special."

Xuan Yuan looked completely satisfied. His only regret was that the sect members couldn't see this scene, while the demonic cultivators got a real treat for their eyes.

“Thirteen evil dragons, and one of them is at the half-step Dominator Realm. Elder Xuan Yuan, you can be called the number one person below the Dominator Realm.”

Shi Zhixuan's tone was exaggerated, and it was unclear whether it was genuine admiration, mockery, or both.

Xuan Yuan disdained to respond to these scoundrels who colluded with the ancient clans.

"I will cut off your head and send it to the Xuantian Sect." Shi Zhixuan stepped forward without any restraint.

Xuan Yuan burned his life essence and blood, overdrawing his life force, making it difficult to even move.

Suddenly, Xuan Yuan raised his arm.

Shi Zhixuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly stopped and backed away.

Xuan Yuan simply stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "With your pathetic appearance, you're not qualified to make a move. I'll do it myself!"

After saying that, he was about to end his own life.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a piercing bird cry came from the sky.

A gigantic skybird swept across the sky, its body like a dark cloud, enveloping everyone in shadow.

This time, the Skybird didn't just pass by; it began to swoop down.

The storm rose instantly, and the lower the Skybird flew, the more terrifying the storm's destructive power became.

Shi Zhixuan and the other demonic cultivators were in a panic, dodging and weaving in a sorry state.

Nevertheless, several demonic cultivators were still caught in the storm, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"Ok?"

Xuan Yuan had originally thought that dying in the storm would be a heroic death, but he didn't expect the giant bird to deliberately avoid him.

It looks like they're helping me?!

This is just as unbelievable as the Demonic Cultivators helping the Ancient Clan.

However, he discovered that this was not his imagination, and the monsters that had come were not just this giant bird.

A sudden tremor shook the earth, and the fifth-tier demon, the Bull Demon, arrived, riding on water.

With a gentle flick of its whip-like tail, a vortex of white waves appeared out of thin air, engulfing the two demonic cultivators.

The two Heavenly Sovereigns drowned on land!

Bang!

Another earth-shattering roar erupted as the mountain wall at the entrance to the treasure realm shattered.

Shen Ming strode out, followed by Yuan Yao and Hui Li.

Shen Ming activated his Eye of Truth and took control of the entire situation.

"Don't let him go!"

Shen Ming noticed that Shi Zhixuan was running away, so he immediately looked up and shouted at the giant bird.

Every feather on the giant bird was resisting; how could it obey humans?

Just like at the beginning, there was a mysterious power in this person's confident voice that ignored distance and space, and resonated directly in the depths of the soul.

The giant bird had no choice but to obey and swoop down.

A devastating storm descended, and Shi Zhixuan gritted his teeth and struggled desperately.

Within seconds, the storm mercilessly tore apart his armor and life-saving aura.

"I've never heard of anyone being able to control monsters."

The leader of the Xuanming Sect, Shi Zhixuan, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Supreme Realm, died inexplicably.

Xuan Yuan had the same question: after witnessing Shen Ming commanding the demons, he couldn't help but think of the lie he had told at the beginning.

Could it be that my words are law? That I possess the ability to foresee the future?!

Xuan Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought that was the case, but the real reason was probably that the consciousness of the Ancestral Dragon was helping him.

Yuan Yao thought so too. Shen Ming refined the Supreme Dragon Bone and reached a higher level than the Dragon Supreme, enabling him to command the demons on Dragon Bone Mountain.

However, whenever Xuan Yuan asked how this was done, Shen Ming would say, "Didn't the elder himself say so?"

It was precisely because he trusted the elder that Shen Ming entered the treasure realm without hesitation.

Having just witnessed the elder's peril through his Eye of Truth, he immediately summoned the demons of Dragon Bone Mountain to help.

He didn't know exactly what to do, so he kept repeating the commands in his mind.

"Heaven and earth, heed my command!"

Just now!

"Elder Xuan Yuan!"

After dealing with the demonic cultivator, Shen Ming walked up to Elder Xuan Yuan. Upon discovering the elder's condition, his expression turned grim.

"See those corpses? I took them all down by myself! I told you, challenging those above your level isn't just for young people like you."

"Take my body back to the Xuantian Sect and tell them that this battle was so fierce that the sky darkened and the sun and moon disappeared. Even though the leader of the evil dragon used a secret technique to gain the strength of the Sovereign Realm, he was still killed by me!"

"Remember, the more exaggerated the better. In a thousand years, it might become a legend."

"Don't get red-eyed with me! I burned my own life essence; I wasn't killed by anyone!"

As he spoke, Elder Xuan Yuan felt weaker than ever before, his body became unsteady, and he subconsciously thought of holding onto something, but he still managed to hold on.

"Finally, go back to the Xuantian Sect and beat up Elder Xu. Don't ask why, just say it's my last wish," Xuan Yuan said.

Shen Ming's eyes were bloodshot, filled with resentment, as he tried to find a solution.

“My Lord Xuan, there is an elixir of immortality in the Dragon Treasury that can save Elder Xuan Yuan.”

As Yuan Yao spoke, she held up a spirit pill.

"This is a Dragon Blood Pill, which can sustain life for up to an hour,"

After saying that, Yuan Yao felt herself fly up, and the world before her eyes spun around her.

It turned out that Shen Ming, in his excitement, had suddenly picked her up.

When Shen Ming put her down, Yuan Yao looked like she was drunk, her neck was completely red.

"Elder, please take the pill."

Shen Ming then handed the Dragon Blood Pill to Elder Xuan Yuan.

“Nonsense! It’s always the elders who fight for their disciples’ opportunities, never the other way around. The top powers in each region are all vying for the elixir of immortality, how could we let you get it?” Xuan Yuan said.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw the Bull Demon walk over. This fifth-tier demon actually squatted down on its front legs, waiting for Shen Ming to sit on it.

“…If you use this method to seize the elixir of immortality, those people will not give up,” Xuan Yuan said.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Shen Ming's answer was simple.
