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

The Wuji Sword Technique is a fabrication.

Sword intent, sword style, and sword way were all bestowed by Shen Ming.

The endless divine monument was copied, deduced according to the Great Emperor's standards, and combined with the corresponding Great Dao Laws, but it turned out to be a poor imitation.

Shen Ming saw it as a failure, but he learned from it and perfected his Wuji Sword Dao.

The design of the Divine Stele is to make the trial participants face their own imperial shadow and improve under immense pressure.

To some extent, Shen Ming did achieve these last five objectives.

It wasn't as thrilling as outsiders imagined; in fact, Shen Ming was even more formidable, going head-to-head with Emperor Ying.

"I guess you could call that a talent." Jian Li was already used to it.

In the end, although Shen Ming had not yet mastered Sword Thirteen, he still passed this test.

A continuous stream of divine energy once again cleansed his spiritual body.

If it were anyone else, they would have already reached their limit and would not be able to absorb so much divine energy in such a short time.

But Shen Ming is now a pure sword cultivator, and his Limitless Sword Heart has no limits.

"Sword power, sixth rank!"

Shen Ming discovered that his swordsmanship had broken through again.

Ninety-six floors, and there's still his imperial shadow.

This time, Emperor Shadow unleashed the Heavenly Tribulation Sword!

Within the trial space, a nine-colored heavenly tribulation was created, just like when he drew his sword under the lightning tribulation.

Under the heavenly tribulation, Emperor Ying was bathed in lightning, like a god, his sword flashing like a dragon.

However, Shen Ming still saw through the flaw at a glance.

"The Heavenly Tribulation Sword is not used like this, even if it incorporates the laws and mysteries of an Emperor."

Shen Ming shook his head, knowing that his future self wouldn't be so pathetic.

In fact, this is the same principle as the Wuji Sword Technique we just learned.

The Limitless Sword Technique does not exist; the Heavenly Tribulation Sword is a divine power that Shen Ming comprehended through the Four Tribulation Swords.

It belongs to him personally. Even his senior brother Su Lianyun said that the two people's Heavenly Tribulation Swords are different, and they are based on each person's swordsmanship.

"Let me show you what a real Heavenly Tribulation Sword is like."

So, Shen Ming drew his sword amidst the thunder.

Although it lacks the grandeur and magnificence of its own imperial shadow, it is still exquisite and contains endless profound mysteries.

The Endless Divine Stele, though its cleverness backfired, inadvertently allowed Shen Ming to set things right, and his sword cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

In the end, Shen Ming's Heavenly Tribulation Sword was even more powerful than before, reaching a new level.

Naturally, the result was self-evident: Emperor Shadow suffered another defeat.

Shen Ming arrived at the ninety-seventh floor and faced his Emperor Shadow once again.

"Chaos Sword Style: Yin and Yang Dual Levels!"

This time, Emperor Shadow used the Chaos Sword Intent and integrated it into the Black and White Sword Dao.

Accompanied by the profound laws of an emperor, the sword energy was about to burst forth, but there was an extremely discordant booming sound.

"That's completely wrong. Chaos is not disorder or randomness."

Shen Ming shook his head, realizing that his talent surpassed that of the Divine Stele.

And so, the same scene unfolded, with Shen Ming defeating Di Ying once again using the same sword technique.

"Which side is the trial, and which side is the test?"

Having witnessed the whole thing, Jian Li thought that one day when she told others about it, no one would believe such an outrageous thing.

"Sword power, seventh rank! I wonder if I can reach the Heart Sword realm in one go!"

It seemed as if they heard his inner thoughts, and Emperor Shadow on the ninety-ninth floor reached the Heart Sword realm!

The sword was unleashed, but it wasn't the sword style Shen Ming was familiar with; instead, it was a gentle yet incredibly dazzling sword light.

The light appeared gentle, but in reality it contained a world-destroying power, which was integrated into Shen Ming's ultimate understanding.

The moment Shen Ming touched the sword light, he even felt time freeze.

"What's this?!"

"Spiritual Sword Light, the Heart Sword Realm is the condensation of strands of spiritual light, which is the purest power of a sword cultivator." Jian Li couldn't wait to speak, finally getting a chance to show off, as her sword spirit was almost becoming a decoration.

Shen Ming's desire for the Heart Sword realm reached its peak, but at the same time, he didn't know how to receive this sword strike.

Even if the divine stele's predictions are less than one ten-thousandth of his future potential, this is still the realm of the Heart Sword.

In the final challenge, Shen Ming finally felt the intensity he was expected to experience.

Under the sword light of the mind, Shen Ming's spiritual body was covered in wounds and in a very sorry state.

He could sense the source of each sword intent from every wound.

The wounds left by the black and white sword intent caused part of the spirit body to dissolve. The wounds from the Great Luo Sword Intent were extremely sharp, and the spiritual power did not even overflow.

Even though his spirit body had not completely shattered, Emperor Shadow drew his sword again.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, and Jian Lixin was in her throat.

Shen Ming had no intention of giving up; as a sword spirit, he wouldn't say discouraging things.

But this is almost a dead end, with no hope in sight.

Shen Ming frowned. Was he destined to only passively take a beating in this trial?

Emperor Shadow unleashed a second sword strike, an even more intense spiritual sword light.

Shen Ming merged with his sword, attempting to pierce through the sword light and charge towards Di Ying.

But when the light of the Mind Sword shone on him, everything froze, and his sword aura vanished without a trace.

Conversely, the spiritual body exhibits severe defects.

Inside the cave on Xiaoyao Peak, Shen Ming's true form and vital energy rapidly withered away.

If the spirit body perishes in the endless divine realm, the physical body will also be in trouble.

"If we don't give them a chance to counterattack, and we can't stop them either, are we just going to see how many swords they can withstand?"

"Or perhaps it's because I'm too strong, and the Emperor Shadow form I deduced is too outrageous!"

"Or is it that the Endless Divine Stele doesn't allow players to completely clear the game, and instead sets up this insurmountable obstacle?"

For a moment, Shen Ming was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Because he knew little and was in a dangerous situation, he, like any normal person, would waver internally.

The main reason was that no one had been to this floor before, leaving Shen Ming without a mental anchor.

"Sword cultivators dare to be pioneers."

Soon, a resolute look returned to Shen Ming's face.

I can definitely do it!

Let go of distractions and your concern about your spiritual body.

The worst that can happen is that I die here!

Jian Li sensed this and, for some reason, felt genuinely happy.

Shen Ming's talent is too abnormal, revealing a sinister side.

Jian Li couldn't help but worry about his performance when facing life and death or trials.

The more talented a person is, the more they cherish their life.

They will feel that there are unlimited opportunities in the future, and thus avoid danger.

Shen Ming reaped a great fortune from the Divine Stele and left, able to look down upon the entire Divine Realm with unparalleled achievements.

But if that were to happen, Jianli would be disappointed.

Having witnessed the entire process, Jianli felt that it was all too opportunistic and shady.

Fortunately, Shen Ming's behavior at this moment showed him to be a pure sword cultivator, a brave and fearless person.

"What am I worried about? Only someone like this can handle such talent."

At this moment, Jian Li felt genuinely proud of herself as Shen Mingjian's inspiration.

Then, an even stronger third beam of spiritual sword light appeared, and Shen Ming's spiritual body quickly dimmed, much to Jian Li's anticipation.

Jian Li was stunned for two or three seconds before she realized that it was turning into dust little by little and vanishing into nothingness!

"Ok?"
