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

"He didn't stop, he kept going!"

"We've reached the 80th floor! We really need to break into the top ten!"

With everyone else's attention elsewhere, the golden light representing Shen Ming grew ever brighter, soaring from the seventy-eighth floor to the eightieth.

The third prince realized that the anxiety he had just displayed was intentional, a ploy to mock him.

"Damn it." The Third Prince's face darkened, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Don't make the same mistake again. Stop immediately and take responsibility," the princess said.

The entire dynasty's divine resources were lost just like that; anyone would feel the pain in that situation.

But once words are spoken, there's no going back; that's the kind of power a dynasty should have.

The Third Prince frowned. He spoke lightly, but the lack of so much divine energy would affect the dynasty's plans and trigger a series of reactions.

Although it won't cause any serious damage, such a large hole will inevitably fill him up.

“The eldest princess is right. If he is truly a prince of our dynasty, you should shake hands and make peace as soon as possible,” the emperor’s brother-in-law said.

The Third Prince remained silent. In his daily dealings with the major powers of the Middle Three Realms, he was always meticulous and thorough.

I underestimated Shen Ming today, thinking I would forcefully conquer him, but who knew it would turn out like this.

"Forcing away such a prince would be far more serious than simply disappointing His Majesty."

Seemingly sensing that the Third Prince was still unconvinced, the Imperial Uncle said something like this.

The third prince immediately recalled what he had just said, and his face turned pale and then red.

The eightieth level of the Divine Stele.

Shen Ming did not see the familiar puppet. Instead, he immediately sensed layers of restrictions and magic arrays, as if his spiritual body was carrying a huge mountain on its back.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a figure appeared directly in front of them.

It was not a puppet, but a figure.

The silhouette of that figure, though blurred, revealed an incredibly well-proportioned physique.

His broad shoulders seem capable of bearing the weight of mountains and rivers, and his upright posture is like a solitary peak standing proudly between heaven and earth, exuding a calm and resolute aura that inspires awe.

Shen Ming rarely wins over others with his aura alone.

This is an exception.

Because this was a great emperor!

I just can't see their faces clearly.

“Those who leave their rankings on the Divine Stele will condense an imperial shadow when they become emperors, and each imperial shadow contains the primordial Dao,” Jian Li said.

"Oh?"

Shen Ming became interested; after going through these eighty floors, he had become numb to the puppet.

He activated his Eye of Truth, trying to see what the emperor looked like.

"The Emperor's true face cannot be seen; the divine stele will conceal his identity, so you will not be able to see his true face."

The emperor before me is terrifyingly strong, judging from his posture alone.

He had no weapon in his hand, so he simply swung his fists.

"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"

The instant he threw the punch, the intense light from the fist even engulfed the entire trial area, and Shen Ming couldn't even open his eyes.

In that punch, Shen Ming felt an invincible belief and a determination to conquer all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"I feel a connection with this boxing style."

Shen Ming thought of himself swinging the Ancient King Fist.

Unfortunately, Emperor Ying does not teach the Great Dao.

The Great Dao of Origin can at most inspire people. If one cannot withstand the tempering of the Heavenly Emperor's fist light, one's spiritual body will also shatter.

This was an invincible punch, a perfect punch, and there was absolutely no way to avoid it.

Shen Ming considered unleashing all his chaotic sword intent, but felt it wouldn't be respectful to face such a being.

"Prepare to practice the second form of the God-Slaying Sword Technique." At this moment, Jian Li spoke.

"Ok?"

"The sword spirit's requirement was for you to leave your name on the divine monument, so you already achieved that when you passed the fiftieth floor," Jian Li said.

"Then you didn't tell me earlier."

"Who told you not to ask?" Jian Li's tone revealed smugness. He was always the one getting angry, so it was his turn to get angry at him.

Of course, it was truly unexpected that Shen Ming was able to reach the eightieth level without having learned the Great Luo Sword Technique.

"Get ready, this is the second move of the God-Slaying Sword Technique."

She wields her sword in the most perfect form within the world of swords.

Shen Ming, holding the Great Luo Sword, immediately made the corresponding movement.

The Great Luo Sword Intent encompasses everything.

The light of the Heavenly Emperor's fist descended, and Shen Ming endured a tremendous impact.

"Maintain your sword stance!"

Shen Ming knew that once the sword technique was disrupted, he would not be able to withstand it.

Despite having already defeated the Third Prince, he was not satisfied with that.

A dozen seconds later, the light from the fist gradually dissipated.

Shen Ming maintained his sword stance and withstood the punch.

"As expected of the Great Emperor."

Just as he was preparing to receive the second blow, the Emperor's shadow vanished.

Shen Ming was still wondering when he arrived at the eighty-first floor and saw Di Ying appear.

It was the same emperor as before, whose appearance was also unclear.

The difference is that the aura of the Great Emperor on the eighty-first floor is even stronger.

“There aren’t that many human emperors. There’s one emperor every five levels, and each level is a bit stronger. They only throw one punch, and if you can hold on, you pass,” Jian Li said.

As for defeating the Emperor, that's practically impossible!

"Heavenly Emperor Fist!"

Emperor Shadow's attacks remained the same; he continued to swing his fists.

The light from the fist changed from pure white to gold, becoming increasingly rich and solid, its power unstoppable.

Shen Ming dared not be presumptuous and immediately entered a state of comprehension.

This time, during his comprehension of the Great Luo Sword Intent, Shen Ming received considerable inspiration.

Sword cultivators are fearless and can break through all laws with a single sword strike.

Similarly, one must also have an invincible spirit.

So he stopped trying to defend and started to draw his sword.

Although unsuccessful, this is how we got through this layer.

On the next three levels, Shen Ming practiced his swordplay, making progress each time.

"God-Slaying Sword Technique, Second Form!"

On the eighty-fourth floor, Shen Ming successfully mastered the second move of the God-Slaying Sword Technique.

This time, it wasn't about withstanding the Emperor's Heavenly Emperor Fist.

The light from the fist and the light from the sword collided violently.

The emperor's hazy face became clearer, revealing a pair of golden pupils.

"Good, I'm waiting for you to fight alongside me."

Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice rang out.

Shen Ming was startled. Wasn't this supposed to be the Imperial Film Studio?

“This emperor is still alive and has reached the level of the Great Dao of Laws. Even reciting his name will be felt, let alone you striking him with your sword,” Jian Li said.

Of course, if it weren't for Shen Ming's performance, the Emperor wouldn't have responded.

"Is that even possible? No wonder he's the Great Emperor!"

Shen Ming looked expectant, yet also curious. The Emperor had sent him to fight alongside him; he wondered what kind of powerful enemy they would be.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Ying disappeared, and he arrived at the eighty-fifth floor.

A gasp of surprise rippled through the area outside the stele.

This level ranks among the top ten of the Endless God Ranking.

It's terrifying that a mere Wang could achieve this level of success.

Many powerful sages were itching to know Shen Ming's lineage and background, and whether it was possible to take him under their wing.

So, someone asked Liu Ruobing.

Many people remember that the two of them came together.

Liu Ruobing naturally wouldn't tell them, only saying that she was traveling with Shen Ming and they had met by chance.

The current information comes from Wuji of the Shenyan Dynasty.
