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

As Jian Li was still pondering how dramatic fate had become, everything before her eyes moved at the speed of light.

This is the Great Luo Sword actively following its master's movement.

The next second, Jian Li found herself on the hundredth floor!

Shen Ming was also there, safe and sound, and even Ling's injuries had fully healed.

"The only way to pass the ninety-ninth floor is through death!"

Jian Li and Shen Ming realized this at the same time.

On this hundredth floor, there was no imperial shadow, only an endless source of divine energy, and a... rune.

"Primal runes!"

Jian Li exclaimed in surprise, her voice trembling. To make this immortal sword spirit react like this, it was clearly no ordinary being.

“These are the original runes representing the five supreme deities, containing the mysteries of the endless divine realm. There are five in total. Once they are all pieced together, one can comprehend the original true meaning and take control of the divine realm,” Jian Li said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming walked towards the rune.

"Be careful! The primordial runes are too profound and complex; anyone who comes into contact with them will be driven mad, lose themselves, and go insane," Jian Li warned.

"Don't worry, I have no taboos," Shen Ming said.

This primordial rune floated silently in the trial space.

The surface texture resembles a pulsating heartbeat, constantly shimmering with a mysterious light.

Its shape is irregular, sometimes twisting and changing like a burning flame, and sometimes flowing slowly like tranquil water.

As Shen Ming approached, the primordial runes suddenly erupted with powerful energy fluctuations.

It was like an enraged ancient beast, spreading outwards with unparalleled power.

Shen Ming felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, as if it were going to crush his soul.

Amidst the danger, there is also an irresistible attraction.

Shen Ming was deeply fascinated, as if he were seeing the purest and most primal power in the world, and he wanted to master this power.

After the primal rune issued its warning, a dazzling light shone in its eyes.

His face showed an expression of utter infatuation, completely absorbed in it, unable to extricate himself.

Jian Li realized that the hundredth floor also presented a challenge.

This is the original rune!

Whether he is misled or has grasped the profound meaning, we'll have to see how Shen Ming performs next.

Judging from Shen Ming's change in expression, the situation seemed to be not good.

Shen Ming saw the future: he would suppress all the heavens and myriad realms and sweep away all enemies in the world.

Swords cut down injustice, fists strike down the powerful.

He ushered in a golden age where everyone was like a dragon, and the world was full of splendor.

"Step into the Primal Runes, and you will be able to do it." A demonic voice seemed to echo in his ears.

Shen Ming's pupils gradually dilated, and his breathing became heavier, as if he was truly unable to extricate himself.

The next second, Shen Ming's spiritual fire flickered violently, and his mind gradually returned to clarity.

"So-so," he commented on the persuasive tactics he had just used.

"..." The original runes didn't even react.

Shen Ming made a lightning-fast move, probing into the runes as if he had precisely grasped something.

The primordial runes rapidly began to shrink, condensing on Shen Ming's palm.

"How did you do that?" Jian Li didn't understand.

"The runes wanted to bewitch me, and they revealed their primal mysteries without reservation. I played along while trying to comprehend them," Shen Ming said.

He had long ago discovered that he was immune to any illusions.

"You understood the original runes in such a short time?" Jian Li asked, puzzled.

"I have an eternal Dao heart."

Shen Ming placed his hand on his chest and smiled with great confidence.

However, Jian Li was wrong about one thing: he didn't understand the runes, he just grasped their essence.

In the palm of his hand, the primordial rune was presented as an ancient script.

Shen Ming needs time to figure out the profound meaning and the purpose of the runes.

The eternal thought must not be stagnant or doubtful, otherwise it will be interrupted.

Shen Ming knows nothing about this rune, not even its specific purpose.

We can't just conjure up something out of thin air and figure out something that doesn't exist.

The primordial runes in his palm flickered with intense energy, seemingly disagreeing with the statement.

At this moment, all the divine source rewards obtained earlier surged out.

The entire Endless Divine Stele turned golden.

Gradually, the light grew brighter and brighter, and the divine source seemed to be tangible and inexhaustible, enveloping Shen Ming entirely in this dazzling ball of light.

Shen Ming felt a warm and powerful energy surging into his spiritual body from all directions.

Similarly, the true form outside possesses a tangible power emanating from within.

Its body emitted a warm, jade-like luster, and every inch of its flesh seemed to contain the immense power of a mountain. With a slight tremor, the cave trembled.

His aura was rising steadily, transforming from the listless aura he had previously overcome into a powerful and pure one.

This aura even overflowed from the cave, reaching the high-ranking members of the Xuantian Sect who were guarding outside.

"The true king! This is the true king!"

Xuan Yuan exclaimed in surprise. This kid's talent has no limit. He has made progress as soon as he went into seclusion. It's unbelievable.

……

The endless divine realm, the sky above the divine monument was now filled with a layer of dazzling golden light, far more exaggerated than the previous two times.

The golden light was almost tangible, reflecting a line of large characters.

The Endless Divine Stele, one hundred layers, Wuji!

The line of text shone brightly, making one's eyes gleam.

"It really is a hundred floors! And it actually worked!"

Many people who initially had high hopes for Shen Ming felt it was unreal.

Their emotional journey was quite unique.

First, I was full of anticipation, but at the last moment, I was filled with anxiety. I tried to calm myself down and tell myself that the miracle wouldn't happen, but deep down I was still full of hope.

“This person is bound to stir up a storm in this middle school,” a sage predicted.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shen Ming's figure appeared above the Endless Divine Stele.

"He flew directly above the Divine Realm!"

Some people noticed that Shen Ming was not riding a boundary boat, nor was he using any other flying magic weapon; instead, he was standing in mid-air as if he were outside.

"I wonder if this is only happening above the divine monument, or throughout the entire divine realm?" someone said, filled with curiosity and envy.

They can soar through the heavens and earth outside, but in the realm of gods they can only rely on external objects.

If there are flying magical artifacts like armor, it's fine, but if it's on a flying boat, you can only cast spells from a distance when fighting people, which puts many cultivators who are good at close combat at a disadvantage.

“I also have a connection with the Divine Stele outside; I am now the master of the Divine Stele!”

In the sky, Shen Ming discovered that he could decide whether to turn the divine monument on or off by using the runes in his hand.

At this moment, the third prince of the Divine Flame Dynasty and Xue Li arrived in front of the Boundary Ship.

Liu Ruobing, aboard the Boundary Boat, was very wary of the two people.

"Elder Liu, I misspoke earlier. Please forgive me. Xue Li is willing to compensate you."

Unexpectedly, Xue Li immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

This is the Holy Maiden of the Fire God Cult!

Xue Li was actually unwilling to back down, but she had no choice but to do so due to the pressure from the Third Prince. This whole affair started because of her.

It's nothing more than a trivial matter, it's absurd to have escalated to this point.
