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

"This is absolutely the Eternal Emperor's arrangement!"

Nangong Tian was filled with excitement, his eyes filled with Shen Ming's image. In just a few months, he had mastered so many eternal divine abilities. Thinking of the Great Luo Palace and the radiance of the Great Dao that he had never seen with his own eyes, a certain thought took root in his heart.

Dean Yongheng was also delighted, this was truly an unexpected joy, and exclaimed loudly, "Thank you for the congratulatory gift from the Creation Academy today!"

Pei Qian's face was ashen, and he felt that all of this was a calculated scheme, and that the Panhuang Decree was part of a conspiracy.

"Elder, Senior Brother Ye is dead."

To make matters worse, Ye Yuhui was smashed to pieces and died instantly.

"Eternal Academy!"

Pei Qian roared, wanting to explode, but this was someone else's territory, and everyone in the Eternal Academy was watching him with cold eyes, eagerly anticipating his move.

In this way, they can legitimately kill Pei Qian and the others here.

In the end, Pei Qian suppressed his anger and sat quietly on the stone platform without saying a word.

"Aren't you planning to leave yet?" Everyone was surprised. It was clear that there was no hope for Creation Academy today, and staying even a second longer would be embarrassing.

Immediately afterwards, people's attention returned to Shen Ming. The battle was over, and this Eternal Emperor Prince was still as impressive as ever. His supernatural abilities in the previous contest were absolutely crushing.

It's not hard to imagine that when the Eternal Emperor's son becomes king, he will rule the battlefields beyond the realms and sweep across the Pure Land.

Just then, without warning, a blazing golden light replaced the sun and shone upon the earth.

A powerful aura swept over us, and within the golden light, it seemed as if a giant dragon was rising.

Upon closer inspection, it was a magnificent and imposing army!

Clad in heavy armor, they resembled a steel torrent, exuding an imposing aura.

The first thing that catches the eye is a battle flag fluttering in the wind, with the sun and moon intertwined on its surface, resembling a pair of divine eyes.

The Divine Strategy Army of the Great Western King!

It wasn't just a small squad that arrived; it was the elite force, led by eight generals and nearly ten thousand armored soldiers.

drink!

After taking their positions, all the armored soldiers shouted in unison, their voices like the roar of dragons, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

The Great Western King strode through the air, clad in dark gold armor, tall and imposing, his eyes shimmering with the light of the sun and moon, every gesture shaking heaven and earth.

Last time in Xuanhuang City, the Great Western King's Dharma Body rushed to the aid from thousands of miles away, which was already powerful enough. Now, compared with his true body, it turns out that it is less than one-tenth of the power.

"Father." Princess Yuehua was beaming with pride upon seeing her father's extraordinary appearance.

Outsiders were baffled. If the Great Western King was attending the Imperial Son's Ceremony, there was no need for such a grand display.

The Great Western King's expressionless face deterred many who wanted to greet him.

"Eternal Academy, obey the Emperor's decree!"

The Great Western King slightly raised his hand, and a dazzling golden light condensed in his palm.

The golden light gradually spread out, weaving into a golden scroll in the air.

Everyone was shocked. The guests stood up one after another, their expressions respectful, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn.

Dean Yongheng was prepared; he rose, straightened his robes as a sign of respect, and flew into the sky.

"The Eternal Emperor's Son is exceptionally talented. He is appreciated by Emperor Pan and bestowed the title of Moon Emperor. He is also rewarded with ten thousand taels of Immortal Essence and a top-grade Dao Sword. He is eligible to enter the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and cultivate the Three Great Divine Scriptures and the Four Extraordinary Scriptures."

The Great Western King's voice was like a booming bell, deafeningly loud.

A stir broke out in the audience. Many people, having only heard the surface story, genuinely believed that the Eternal Emperor's son had gained the Emperor Pan's favor and were envious of such a generous reward.

Wait a minute, the Moon Emperor?!

Coming to their senses, they all gasped in shock; this was money earned by risking their lives.

For the past century, the Pan Yue Dynasty has been sending people to the Moon Forbidden Zone, which is no secret among top powers. I never expected that it would be the Eternal Academy's turn now.

Those who were just marveling at the limitless future of the Eternal Emperor's son only felt irony.

"Hahahaha, congratulations to the Eternal Emperor!" Pei Qian seemed to burst into laughter at this moment.

The Great Western King closed the scroll; the ten thousand taels of immortal essence and the supreme Dao sword were both inside.

His eyes fell on Shen Ming, and he forcefully pushed the scroll forward!

In a world where might makes right, imperial power will not force others to kneel.

Firstly, kneeling is an insult to one's body and mind, which can easily affect one's resolve on the path.

Secondly, those who can maintain their Daoist heart after kneeling will surely soar to great heights in the future and take revenge on the imperial power.

However, the imperial edict contains the supreme authority of the emperor, which will make people feel fear and tremble from the bottom of their hearts.

If someone can't bear it and kneels down, that's no one's fault but their own; after all, it's much better than being scared out of their wits.

However, Shen Ming was unaffected; as the person involved, he was actually the most at ease among everyone.

Imperial power? Where did this imperial power come from!

"Eternal Prince, receive the decree!"

The Great Western King roared, his voice echoing like thunder.

When the Eternal Academy realized what was happening, everyone was very anxious. Having been unaware of the situation beforehand, they were unwilling to see the Imperial Prince head to the forbidden zone of life like this.

"Such an imperial prince only appears once every thousand years!" One of the elders was so anxious that he stamped his feet.

They looked around, wondering who would step in and stop them.

However, they were not familiar with Shen Ming, nor were they related to him, so they could not risk their lives.

This is the dean's responsibility!

However, Dean Yongheng remained unmoved and made no comment, deliberately displaying helplessness and inner conflict on his face.

"Eternal Prince, are you defying the imperial decree?!" the Great Western King exclaimed again.

The Shence Army soldiers raised their spears and struck them down in unison, causing the air to tremble and their spirits to be awestruck.

Disobeying the imperial decree!

Many people dared not imagine what the consequences would be. Could it be that the Eternal Academy was going to rebel against imperial power?

The angry people at Eternal Academy calmed down and began to weigh the pros and cons.

"almost."

Just then, Su Lianyun stepped forward, his tall figure appearing lonely.

He showed no fear, no hesitation; the tense atmosphere in the air seemed to freeze.

“Our Eternal Lineage has finally produced a junior brother; we can’t let him go to some forbidden lunar area and cause Emperor Pan to retract his order,” Su Lianyun said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming himself was quite surprised. He was unaware of his senior brother's plan and did not feel that he was proving anything to anyone today.

In fact, he was prepared to go to the lunar restricted area.

But he won't accept the imperial decree to become some damned Moon Emperor and go to the forbidden lunar zone.

His departure signifies a clean break with Eternal Academy.

The eldest brother stepped forward, which reminded Shen Ming of the resolute looks in his senior brothers' and sisters' eyes earlier that day.

"Senior Brother..." Shen Ming tried to dissuade him.

He didn't think going to the lunar restricted area was anything special, nor did he see it as a desperate situation; he was sure he would find a way back.

"Those who resist the decree will be killed!"

The Great Western King gave him no chance, his gaze falling on Su Lianyun. His usually calm face changed, and his eyebrows rose.

The Shence Army deployed its troops, poised and ready to unleash their thunderous power at the command.

The Eternal Academy's grand formation was activated, and the disciples and elders were on high alert.

The princess returned to the golden cloud ship, looking at the two men facing off, her expression complex.

"Last chance!"

As soon as the Great Western King finished speaking, a chilling atmosphere filled the air, and everyone dared not even breathe.
