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

Panyue Treasury, the national treasury of the Panyue Dynasty.

This is a small world, dazzling and precious.

In the inner treasury, mountains and rivers are all transformed from supreme treasures.

A tall mountain is actually a saint's halberd.

A river, its source is a piece of divine ice.

An unremarkable sword blank was stuck in the rock, looking quite out of place.

However, the imperial court valued it far more than any other treasure.

A wisp of the treasure vault's consciousness, transformed into a spiritual body, stood quietly beside the sword embryo, gazing in all directions.

"It seems your lineage has been severed; no one will come for you," the spirit said, as if speaking to itself.

The naturally formed patterns on the Great Luo Sword Embryo emitted a faint glow, but there was no response.

The Panyue Dynasty launched a King-level hunting war, bringing out the Great Luo Sword Embryo, which shook the world.

In fact, this was bait thrown out by the imperial court in an attempt to completely eliminate any future troubles.

The Great Luo Sword Embryo was a spoil of war from the imperial dynasty's conquest of the Great Luo Sword Sect.

This great religion became a stepping stone for the rise of the Panyue Dynasty.

But for some reason, the Ancestral Emperor was always wary of the remnants of the Great Luo Sword Sect.

Anyone who cultivates the Great Luo Sword Dao will be annihilated without mercy.

That being said, although the Great Luo Sword Embryo in the ultimate battlefield was flawless.

If it were a sword cultivator from the Great Luo Sword Path, they would notice something amiss. And if someone were truly interested, they might even break into the treasure vault and reclaim the sword embryo.

However, the current situation is a result of the Panyue Dynasty's overthinking.

"What are you still holding on to? Give up!" the spirit said.

The Panyue Dynasty has been trying to destroy the Great Luo Immortal Sword for years. The sword's original form was not freshly forged, but rather it had undergone various tribulations.

As long as the one inside the sword embryo refuses to give up, the sword embryo will continue to exist.

The Great Luo Sword Embryo still did not respond.

In the world within the sword, the sword spirit remains stubborn.

A sword, unyielding and never admitting defeat!

Even if it takes another thousand years, we will not hesitate.

Huh?

Suddenly, the sword spirit sensed a mysterious and strange power surging into the sword's world, causing it to panic for a moment.

The Blade Spirit discovered that its consciousness was entering a chaotic state, and it didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

All we know is that the Panyue Dynasty is not yet capable of achieving this.

This was due to a more powerful force and law at play, so the sword spirit had no choice but to give in.

The spirit of the treasure vault was unaware, simply assuming that the sword spirit refused to acknowledge the truth.

They failed to notice that the genuine sword blank was being turned into a fake.

The Pan Yue Dynasty's deception was so convincing that even they couldn't tell the difference.

……

The Central Region of the Xuanhuang Continent.

On the ultimate battlefield, Shen Ming sat on the Boundary Ship, concentrating on refining the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

Just like refining spiritual weapons and magical artifacts in the past, his innate magical power combined with his own sword intent gradually 'devoured' the Great Luo Sword Embryo.

The visual effect is that the natural patterns on the sword blank emerge with light and begin to ripple.

It is worth mentioning that the patriarch of the Zheng family rode in a bronze coffin, following closely behind.

The Boundary Boat was too fast; he could never keep up.

But Shen Ming refused to leave the final battlefield and kept going in circles.

What is he waiting for?

The Zheng family patriarch couldn't understand it, because due to the Heavenly Tribulation, it was very difficult for the Sovereign Realm to break through in the heat of battle, and thorough preparation was required.

Therefore, he was not worried that Shen Ming would break through to the King Realm in one go.

They were not worried that Shen Ming would have protectors, because Shen Ming was a local cultivator and had no foundation.

Behind him is the Champion Marquis!

The two sides chased each other in the sky, a stark contrast to the battlefield where flight was impossible.

A cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a great battle was taking place directly ahead.

They are the giant roc and the dragon girl from the divine mountain's alien race.

The giant roc has wings that blot out the sky and ignores the restrictions on flight; its enormous body seems to be cast from steel.

The dragon maiden stood tall and graceful, her figure elegant yet spirited.

A conflict broke out between the two sides in Jiuli City, and Dapeng made provocative remarks.

The Dragon Girl didn't say anything at the time, but she seized the opportunity to make a move in this extraterrestrial battlefield.

Even in human form, each swing of his arm is as powerful as thunder, like a giant dragon rolling.

The giant roc was enraged. A layer of black light began to emanate from its body, transforming into streaks of black lightning that struck towards the dragon girl.

"Let your life burn out here."

The Dragon Girl, however, avoided fighting, forcing her opponent to burn his life essence, thus achieving her goal.

The essence of blood burns to gain powerful combat strength; one must fight to the very end, there is no turning back.

The dragon girl left him with nowhere to vent his anger, so he burned himself out.

This is what happens when you offend the true dragon!

The advantages of having a human body became apparent; the Dragon Girl was able to use her escape technique to leave the area directly.

The giant roc cried out in anger, and by sheer coincidence, it spotted the boundary ship heading this way.

"Very nourishing! Very nourishing!"

Upon seeing Shen Ming on the boundary ship, his eyes were like two blazing suns burning with black flames.

The giant roc could tell that this human was different from others, with vigorous blood and strong flesh.

If one can refine it, one can avoid death and offset the burning of one's essence and blood.

Without hesitation, the giant roc spread its wings and flew away, forming a pincer attack with the Zheng family patriarch from the front and back.

"The chosen one is nothing more than this."

The Zheng family patriarch laughed triumphantly; this was truly an unexpected delight.

Even while burning their life essence, the quasi-king level Divine Mountain aliens unleashed a burst of blazing black lightning, directly covering the area where the Boundary Ship was located.

As a result, the Boundary Ship ignored the lightning and instead used it as a carrier to accelerate at high speed.

"what?!"

The Zheng family patriarch's eyes turned red, unable to understand where Shen Ming had pulled out such a flying boat.

Unexpectedly, the ship came to a sudden stop and remained motionless.

The Zheng family patriarch suspected foul play and noticed that Shen Ming was completely absorbed and had entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

He understood; this meant he had successfully refined his natal sword.

But just as he initially thought, he didn't take it to heart.

Even if you have a destined sword, it won't change the outcome.

However, at the Hundred Battles Royal Court, the Champion Marquis was taken aback.

The Great Luo Sword Embryo seemed to come alive, radiating light and color. Its ancient and rough shape vaguely revealed smooth lines, with an unparalleled sharpness flowing through it.

Every second, earth-shattering sword energy surged forth, which he could clearly feel even on the Hundred Battles Royal Court.

"Isn't it fake? How could this be! Could it be that they picked up the wrong one?!" Champion Marquis panicked.

The only good news is that Shen Ming is in a precarious situation and could be interrupted at any moment.

Jupeng and the Zheng family ancestor launched fierce attacks one after another.

Shen Ming raised an eyebrow, as if he sensed something, but did not open his eyes to look.

Eternal thought!

He activated his Eternal Dao Heart, then stopped caring about the outside world and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the world within the sword.

Just now, he successfully refined the Great Luo Sword Embryo, and his consciousness was able to enter the world within the sword.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will meet a sword spirit.

This time, he was not disappointed.

Amidst the dazzling light, there stood a figure of unparalleled elegance and unparalleled brilliance.

"Finally, I've seen a living sword spirit!" Shen Ming was very excited; this was a great achievement for a sword cultivator.

However, the sword spirit seemed a little reserved and shy.

"Where is this?" The sword spirit's voice was clear and cold, yet exceptionally pleasant to the ear.

Shen Ming was taken aback. This question seemed absurd. "You are a sword spirit, so of course this is your sword world. What else could it be?"
