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

Chapter 354 Battle against the Ancient Venerable! The Ancient Venerable did not emerge from the Zetian Spaceship; his appearance was extraordinary.

The sky was torn apart, and darkness surged out of the crack like a tide.

In the heart of the darkness, a figure slowly emerged.

It was the ancient venerable one, still sitting on the throne.

He wore a black robe embroidered with dark red runes that shimmered with an eerie light.

Like the ruler of darkness, every wisp of darkness is an extension of his body, and darkness surrounds the throne.

"Having just become the new king, aren't you afraid of dying with resentment?" the Ancient Venerable asked.

Shen Ming looked at him on the throne, his brows furrowed, and did not answer the question.

The ancient master initially thought he was afraid, but gradually he noticed a different meaning in his expression.

"Are you disabled?" Shen Ming asked uncertainly.

The ancient deity sitting on the throne had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"This is the Dark Throne, capable of devouring everything."

Shen Ming didn't believe it, so he summoned his flying sword, and the Great Luo Sword transformed into a cold, sharp light.

The moment I came into contact with the darkness, it was as if I had entered another world, disappearing without causing any ripples.

"What a waste of this sword," the Ancient Venerable said sarcastically.

"With my natal sword and the Limitless Sword Heart, I can return from the Yellow Springs to the Azure Heaven."

Shen Ming made a sword incantation and saw a flash of sword light as the Great Luo Sword flew out from the other side.

"..."

Clearly, the Ancient Venerable had not expected this to happen.

The Dark Throne will devour enemy attacks, sending them to a chaotic, shattered world for eternal exile.

This is the first time someone has retrieved a flying sword.

"This sword is extraordinary."

The Ancient Venerable did not believe that Shen Ming possessed the means to surpass the Dark God Throne, and believed that it was the Great Luo Sword that accomplished this.

In fact, the complete form of the Great Luo Immortal Sword can not only devour, but also directly cut through the darkness.

In the world of swords, the sword spirit is still reeling from the shock.

Just now, it was almost a replay of the scene from the Pan Yue Treasure Vault to the final battlefield.

"What kind of sword path does he cultivate?" The sword spirit still couldn't understand Shen Ming's Limitless Sword Path.

"It's my turn."

The Ancient Venerable sat on the dark throne and slowly raised his hand.

A dense, impenetrable dark power gathered in his palm, like a black hole, frantically absorbing the surrounding dark elements.

A bolt of dark lightning, like an angry dragon, roared towards Shen Ming.

The lightning bolt was jet black, burning with a ghostly blue flame.

With a destructive aura, like a sharp blade capable of cutting through everything, the air around it was violently compressed and distorted, forming a series of raging vortexes.

Shen Ming held the sword in his right hand and swung the Great Luo Sword.

The sword energy flowed continuously and endlessly, intertwining and merging to form a sword net.

We faced the rolling dark lightning and continuously neutralized it.

The ancient deity sat upright on his throne, his eyes half-closed.

The dark lightning, like an inextinguishable divine fire, turned out to be no different from ordinary thunder under Shen Ming's sword.

Furthermore, he noticed that Shen Ming exuded a murderous aura.

After those two rounds of probing, has this new king decided to kill me?!

The ancient venerable was both shocked and furious. He finally understood that Shen Ming's initial intention was to test his strength.

The result was that he realized he wasn't all that great, and decided to kill someone of a much higher level!

The ancient venerable one revealed his fierce intent, no longer intending to act so childishly.

With a wave of his hand, the Dark Throne crashed into Shen Ming, causing the surrounding darkness to twist and throb wildly.

Shen Ming knew that the Dark Throne could devour attacks, so using his supernatural powers was clearly a wise move.

He decided to resolve the issue using the Wuji Sword Style.

The Limitless Sword, a sword without limits.

He didn't believe the Dark Throne could keep devouring things indefinitely.

In an instant, the Great Luo Sword shone brightly, as if the sun, moon, and stars flowed within it, and a powerful sword aura soared into the sky.

This sword seems to have returned to its prime. The patterns on its blade resemble mountains and rivers, mysterious and profound, with each line containing boundless power.

As Shen Mingjian moved, a sword aura that seemed to be in tangible form, like an axe that split the heavens and the earth, carrying a world-destroying momentum, rushed towards the darkness.

"Darkness! Exile!"

Upon seeing this, the Ancient Venerable snorted coldly, and lightning crackled through the void, tearing black rifts in the space wherever he passed.

The dark lightning, like a giant black wave, threatened to engulf Shen Ming.

The boundless sword light was like a brilliant nebula at the beginning of the universe, dazzling and vast.

Shen Ming moved with graceful ease, weaving through the darkness and lightning, remaining unmoved by the darkness.

"There's a chance to kill him!"

Shen Ming became increasingly certain of this.

The Ancient Venerable's Dark Lightning and Dark Devouring are indeed terrifying; other kings might not be able to withstand them.

Unlike others, his Thunder Dao Heart combined with the Limitless Sword Heart allows him to fight in the darkness.

In his words, the Ancient Venerable was a pure mage, without any physical attacks.

"Your Dark Devouring is not the Great Dao; it possesses evil dark power that can erode vitality and devour life force."

Through his power of insight, Shen Ming discerned that the Ancient Venerable's power carried an ominous aura.

"For your human race, this is already considered merciful," the Ancient Venerable said disdainfully.

"I'm not accusing you, but telling you that the Ancient Sacred Body is impervious to all evil!"

Shen Ming shouted, and instantly, his body burst forth with dazzling golden light, and his holy blood surged within him, emitting a thunderous sound.

The golden light of the Holy Body did dispel the darkness to a certain extent.

"Futian!"

Shen Ming seized the opportunity and unleashed his strongest sword strike, moving forward with his sword amidst the golden light.

An ancient deity sitting on a divine throne suddenly narrowed his pupils as he watched the sword tip advance forward, getting closer and closer to him.

Darkness surged violently, attempting to engulf the sword's edge.

The closer you get, the stronger the resistance becomes, and the sword's momentum gradually slows down and comes to a standstill.

The ancient sage relaxed his brows, raised his right arm, and the darkness began to extend, widening the distance between the two.

With the resistance gone, the Burial Sword was successfully unleashed, but it missed for the first time, striking empty air.

Shen Ming twirled his sword and stared directly at the ancient deity on the throne.

To some extent, neither side can do anything about the other.

Moreover, Shen Ming knew that what he had just done was not the Ancient Venerable's limit, but rather his strongest attack.

"Powerless? Desperate?" the Ancient Venerable mocked.

"A dignified ancient venerable, are you already satisfied with simply not dying by my sword?" Shen Ming asked.

Upon hearing this, the Ancient Venerable's face darkened.

His initial intention was to forcefully suppress and kill Shen Ming, leaving no room for maneuver.

Shen Ming's words struck a chord with this ancient venerable one, making it difficult for him to accept the loss of his dignity.

"You asked for it."

The ancient sage raised a finger, and instantly, dark power swept out in all directions.

Wherever this darkness reached, the sky was dyed black, the sunlight was instantly swallowed up, and daytime became night.

A giant, dark sphere keeps colliding, replacing the rising sun in the sky.

The ancient sage is like a god of darkness, wielding a dark power capable of devouring heaven and earth.

"Dark Prison? 9? 9 The Core of the End!"

The ancient sage pointed a finger at Shen Ming, and a dark sphere surging with lightning roared out.

This darkness possesses tangible damage, like a divine chariot, unstoppable, with edges sharp as divine swords, enough to crush everything in the world.
