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

Nangong Xuan frowned, and everyone else was taken aback.

Before Shen Ming could say anything, an arrow streaked across the sky like a meteor, carrying a sharp momentum as if it were rushing from the depths of the distant starry sky, tearing through the air and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The arrow tore a rift in the void, passing right past the location of the Ultimate War King's Decree.

Everyone was shocked. Nangong Xuan felt a wave of fear. If Shen Ming hadn't stopped him, he would have been seriously injured.

"Enemy attack!"

Everyone spread out their defensive lines, preparing to meet the enemy.

Princess Fire Phoenix was in a rather awkward position. She was absorbing the sacred fire and couldn't move. Her body was also surrounded by surging fire energy, making her unharmable to others.

The sound of horses neighing came, and Zhan Tian rode a tall and mighty Shen Jun, charging from behind a mountain, the bowstring of his great bow still vibrating slightly.

Nangong Xuan recognized him, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

He was, after all, the Yin-Yang God Child, and this guy, without saying a word, intended to shoot him, which thoroughly enraged him.

Before he could even speak, the earth began to tremble slightly, as if a thousand horses were galloping in.

Soon, a group of fully armed knights followed closely behind Zhan Tian, ​​each clad in heavy armor and exuding an imposing aura.

They are all generals from the Hundred Victories Camp, and they have come out in full force!

There were thirty-six riders in total, not many, but all of them were at the Sovereign Realm.

They were selected by the Marquis of Champion from the various armies of the Panyue Dynasty. They were all battle-hardened generals, each capable of leading an army on their own.

When Bai Qian of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan saw them, a striking red light flashed in her eyes, and her face was filled with hatred.

Champion Hou Sanzheng conquered their Pure Land, leading the Hundred Victories Camp to kill countless of her kin.

The Hundred Victories Camp acted swiftly and decisively, surrounding them completely, and a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

"Zhan Tian! Are you going to start a great war? Can you bear the responsibility?!" Princess Fire Phoenix shouted coldly.

"Princess Fire Phoenix should focus on absorbing the sacred fire to avoid any mistakes."

Zhan Tian snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the others like a sharp knife. He pointed at Shen Ming and shouted, "I am acting on the orders of the Marquis of Champion. Who dares to stop me?!"

The title "Champion Marquis" carried immense power, and Shen Ming could clearly see that many people on their side were stunned.

“He is with us. Until our agreement is reached, the Marquis of Champion will not be able to take him away!” Princess Fire Phoenix said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ao immediately retorted, "Zhan Tian, ​​you're not worthy to boast here with your Hundred Victories Battle Camp alone."

On their side, including Shen Ming, there are a total of five potential kings.

"It seems your Fire Spirit Clan is determined to die!"

Zhan Tian shouted, and instantly, the surrounding mountains began to shake, indicating that a colossal creature was approaching.

The Sacred Mountain's Extraordinary People!

Just by listening to this noise, you can guess who it is.

A giant golden ape, tens of meters tall, stood with its head held high and chest out, treading on the earth, its fur interwoven with dazzling golden divine light.

A giant black bull charged wildly, cutting off mountain peaks in half.

Chi Ao and Nangong Xuan had solemn expressions. Although the alien race was not on the Sky Ranking, both of them had the strength to be in the top three.

“You claim to be servants of God, so how have you fallen to obeying the orders of the imperial court?” Nangong Xuan said.

"Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said."

The black bull's voice was deep and powerful, striking straight to the heart, and its scales radiated dazzling thunderous power.

Nangong Xuan once again gathered Yin-Yang divine light, attempting to neutralize this attack.

In an instant, the lightning engulfed the divine light, sending him flying. He was covered in blue smoke and looked utterly disheveled.

"You brat from the lower realm, come here and face your death! No one else can save you!" Zhan Tian said in a deep voice.

Chi Ao and Bai Qian also looked over. They were prepared to fight a great battle with the alien race of the Divine Mountain, but if Shen Ming could not withstand Zhan Tian, ​​it seemed there was no need to take action.

The opposing side also maintained the same tacit understanding, with Black Bull and Golden Ape observing the situation in silence.

Shen Ming walked towards the front of the Hundred Victories Battle Camp, facing everyone's gaze.

"Give me the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Once I've absorbed the sacred fire, the others and I will be able to deal with the alien race," Princess Fire Phoenix transmitted.

Shen Ming's expression was solemn, and it was unclear whether he had heard it or not.

"Although I don't know how you cultivated to this point, you must have exhausted the resources of an entire region. It's a pity that you'll be wasting your time here today," Zhan Tian said.

"The Hundred-Victory Battle Camp, the Champion Marquis's personal guards... well, they can all stay here."

Sword Twelve: Burying the Heavens!

Shen Ming's eyes flashed like lightning, and his hair danced wildly in the wind.

Countless sword energies converged from all directions, like a surging tide.

On the snow-capped mountain, Shen Ming, at the cost of the shattering of his Mingxin Sword, comprehended the twelfth form of the Wuji Sword Technique.

The fragments of the Mingxin Sword instantly killed eight quasi-kings, and he mastered the Wuji Sword Heart.

Even without a sword in hand, one can still control the sword with one's mind and unleash this strike.

"Like an egg striking a rock."

Zhan Tian was disdainful. Using the strongest offensive right from the start is often a sign of being in dire straits, thinking of fighting to the death.

The next second, his expression changed slightly.

A powerful sword aura spread wildly in all directions like a surging tsunami.

Centered on Shen Ming, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen by his sword intent, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Although he had no sword in his hand, the sword was everywhere.

"Heavenly Shield Divine Formation!"

Zhan Tian instinctively sensed danger; this strongest sword strike was one he had to be wary of.

The knights of the Hundred Victories Camp quickly assembled into a formation, each carrying immense power, forming a shield at the forefront.

Even now, no sword blade appeared in Shen Ming's hand. Instead, sword energy swept across the sky, forming a barrier that rendered everything at its mercy.

The sword energy was formless, and wherever it passed, time seemed to freeze.

The Heavenly Shield Divine Array formed by the Hundred Victories Battle Camp, upon gentle contact, was like a blank sheet of paper touching rainwater, quickly developing wrinkles.

The knights of the Hundred Victories Camp first froze, then twisted and deformed, as if an invisible hand was molding clay figures.

Each burst of blood mist bloomed like fireworks, creating a dazzling and spectacular scene of death.

Ah!

Zhan Tian roared, his body also covered in blood, but as a quasi-king, he gripped the Hundred Battles Divine Weapon and charged forward.

However, the closer one gets to Shen Ming, the stronger the sword barrier becomes.

Zhan Tian's prized weapon, which had been through countless battles, was broken inch by inch!

Only at that moment did he understand.

Shen Ming used this sword not as a desperate gamble, but to establish his authority and slap Champion Hou in the face.

The invincible battle camp, feared by all, was annihilated by this single sword strike.

Zhan Tian survived, but he was left with only a breath of life, barely clinging to life.

Princess Fire Phoenix and Chi Ao were taken aback. They knew Shen Ming was formidable, otherwise they wouldn't have traveled with him.

But in their hearts, they all felt that they were more capable and superior.

Especially Chi Ao, one of the top three experts on the Sky Ranking, practically treated Shen Ming as his guide along the way.

Bai Qian cheered with joy, for the Hundred Victories Camp owed a blood debt.

"This is without a sword. If we got the Great Luo Sword Embryo..."
