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

The third prince frowned, and the golden dragon pattern on his python robe seemed to shimmer with spiritual light, revealing his dissatisfaction and anger.

"presumptuous!"

Two generals immediately stepped forward and shouted rebukes.

"As subjects of the Divine Flame Dynasty, committing insubordination is a grave crime!"

"Kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Two armored figures, each uttering a sentence, exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

“Even when the Nine Emperors issue decrees, they don’t allow anyone to kneel. Are you trying to become the new Yan Emperor?” Shen Ming said.

These words, spoken casually, caused the pretentious Third Prince's expression to change drastically.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" He dared not respond to those words, for if they were relayed back and aroused his father's suspicion, the trouble would be immense.

After denying it, the Third Prince shouted, "If it weren't for the fact that you're forbidden to make a move under the Endless Divine Stele, you would have paid the price for what you just said."

"Can't we make a move?"

Shen Ming looked disappointed. Why didn't you say so earlier?

This reaction infuriated Xue Li and the Third Prince, who were on the other side.

Both of them are already human kings, so it's too arrogant for a mere king to be so presumptuous.

"They dared to challenge His Highness the Third Prince because they knew they couldn't make a move here," Xue Li said.

“Apologize for what you just said, otherwise you won’t have another chance once you’re outside the range of the Divine Stele,” Shen Ming said.

These words were spoken to Xue Li, whose first words were extremely malicious.

Xue Lixing's eyes widened in disbelief. Who's causing trouble for whom right now? Figure out the situation, and you'll be the one in a bad position!

Xue Li looked at the Third Prince beside her, her face full of indignation and her eyes full of grievance.

The Third Prince, whose relationship with her was extraordinary, naturally wouldn't let it go.

"Now you will also go out and fight with me," the Third Prince said.

"Don't fall for it," Liu Ruobing said immediately.

The opposing team's Kings of Humanity are not only Xue Li and the Third Prince, but also several other Kings of Humanity from the Li Huo Divine Sect and the Shen Yan Dynasty.

Once the Third Prince falls into a disadvantageous position, these kings will launch a joint attack on him.

When powerful forces are in a dominant position, they act righteously; but once they fall into a disadvantageous position, they will resort to any means necessary.

"Scared?" The Third Prince saw what he was worried about and continued to provoke him.

"If you don't have a prominent status and position, don't try to make tough statements like others," Xue Li added.

"Since you are so confident, then wait until I finish the Divine Stele."

Shen Ming shrugged, glanced at the two of them, and said, "Or are you two too afraid to wait?"

It's a provocation tactic, as if anyone doesn't know how to use it. Once the task is completed, a single sword strike will kill him, and then he can directly pilot the Boundary Ship away.

"Just stalling for time," the Third Prince sneered.

He didn't enter the Endless Divine Realm just for Shen Ming; he came for the Sanctuary and the successor of the Holy Emperor!

There's still no progress, and since I'm idle anyway, I have plenty of time to kill with Shen Ming.

"Alright, let's make a bet. Let's bet on whether you can leave your name on the Divine Stele and surpass us. Let's bet on your sword!" Xue Li said.

Liu Ruobing's expression changed slightly; the sword cultivator's natal sword was indeed ruthless.

Shen Ming looked at the Endless Divine Stele. To leave one's name on it was not simply a matter of rushing to the top; one had to undergo trials.

If you get close enough to the stele, you'll find an entrance underneath.

To outsiders, those who enter will transform into a beam of light, rising gradually from top to bottom.

Finally, when it stops, the light will imprint the name on the monument.

It's worth mentioning that names are only left at heights exceeding half the required distance; anything below that is considered a failed challenge.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that the higher up the name is listed, the more vigorous and powerful it appears, radiating a dazzling light.

Some busybodies compiled a list based on the rankings, which, although only representing the results of the trials, proved to be highly valuable as more and more real battles were fought.

Xue Li's name was ranked thirteenth, and the Third Prince's name was ranked eleventh.

Shen Ming's gaze barely lingered; he looked straight up.

Since I started cultivating, I've always been number one on the leaderboards, so I don't care about anyone outside the top ten.

Upon noticing Shen Ming's reaction, both the Third Prince and Xue Li were furious.

This person is utterly ignorant and fearless, unaware of how difficult the Endless Divine Stele is.

“The top five are all relics left by the great sects and holy lands of the Sixth Realm, and the top three have been unshakeable for the past hundred years,” the Third Prince said.

First place: Lin Changsheng, the disciple of the Jietian Sect.

Second place: Yao Guang, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi Holy Land.

Third place: Butian Sect, Tian Jingyu.

"Sure, but I'm afraid you can't afford to gamble with my sword," Shen Ming asked.

“If you dare not, then you dare not. Why boast? What kind of sword do we owe you? Show it to us, and we’ll weigh it.” Xue Li said.

Shen Ming smiled coldly and drew his Great Luo Sword.

hiss!

As a celestial sword, even if the Great Luo Sword is only slightly restored, it is still extraordinary, like a peerless treasure. Its blade gleams with a cold light, and the faint divine patterns reveal its mystery.

"This sword can evolve, and its potential is no less than that of an Emperor-level weapon," the old man who had been paying attention to this area said, revealing the sword's value.

"This sword seems familiar, but I wonder what its name is?"

"The Sword of Enlightenment." Shen Ming also used the Heaven-Changing Technique on the Great Luo Sword.

Hmm? Upon hearing this name, the older gentleman who had just spoken suddenly seemed unfamiliar.

Even people from the Panyue Dynasty wouldn't recognize them here.

In the world of swords, Jian Li pouted, somewhat unconvinced.

Shen Ming had always wanted to rename the sword to Mingxin Sword, but the sword spirit had never agreed.

I never expected that he would still harbor such wicked intentions, and I couldn't refute him.

Xue Li and the Third Prince were somewhat embarrassed. They were self-important and arrogant, showing off their strength and background.

As a result, Shen Ming pulling out such a sword was undoubtedly a slap in the face to them.

The Fire God Cult and the Divine Flame Dynasty also possess corresponding treasures, but none of them are accessible to their younger generation.

Seeing Shen Ming's smug expression, the Third Prince could not bear it.

With a wave of his hand, he held a small spaceship in his palm.

"This is the divine source that the dynasty has collected over the past year, as vast as the sea!"

This is the harvest of the Divine Flame Dynasty in the Endless Divine Realm for a whole year.

Its value is not as great as the Great Luo Sword, but it is still a coveted treasure.

Shen Ming narrowed his eyes; he really needed the divine source.

Divine Source is the most important resource in the Endless Divine Realm, capable of strengthening the spiritual body and enhancing the cultivation level of the true body.

Interestingly, he has never absorbed a piece of divine source yet, so he doesn't know what it's like.

"With the divine monument as witness, no one can renege on their promise."

"it is good."

Shen Ming agreed; it would be impolite to refuse when the other party was giving him so much divine source for free.

"Hey, don't make me lose!" Jian Li was equally angry at the Third Prince's attitude, but she was still a little worried.

"rest assured."

Shen Ming believed he could do it; his past experiences had given him that certainty.

This confidence made the Third Prince somewhat uneasy, but he was in a difficult position. As a prince, he couldn't afford to lose face.

The Third Prince was a little nervous. If he really lost the Divine Source, he would be in deep trouble.

Compared to the consequences, he didn't dare to hope too much for Shen Ming's sword and regretted making the bet.
