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

Chapter 382 Today, I will sever your arrogance. "I am only guiding this fellow Daoist. I have no right to interfere in your affairs."

Liu Ruobing was very clear-headed and did not regard this as her own halo.

Xue Li and the Third Prince both looked embarrassed.

On the divine stele, Shen Ming remained calm despite the large number of people outside, showing neither stage fright nor feigning composure.

Reaching the hundredth level of the Endless God Ranking is unprecedented.

He keenly sensed divine senses descending upon him, and some even used their pupil techniques to try and discern his Dao foundation.

Of course, this is futile.

The wind is gentle and the clouds are light, transcending the mundane.

"He must have been cultivated by a powerful force; otherwise, he wouldn't have such an aura," some speculated.

At this moment, the Third Prince arrived at the same altitude and handed over the giant ship filled with divine energy.

"This is the source of the divine power. A bet is a bet, and the competition is about the great Dao. It has nothing to do with personal grudges," the Third Prince said.

That sounds nice, but all that shouting and threatening to kill, that's just bullying others. What kind of battle of righteousness is that?

However, Shen Ming accepted the Divine Source Giant Ship and did not make things difficult for him.

"I have already apologized to Elder Liu," Xue Li said.

"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost, but you should keep the arm your brother used to hit him."

Shen Ming has not forgotten that it all started because of Xue Yaoyang.

A person who can forgive everything deserves to be hurt, especially since Xue Yaoyang hasn't even made a move yet.

"Leave behind an arm?!"

Flames surged around Xue Li, who was extremely protective of her own. She couldn't accept it.

If the spirit body leaves behind one arm, the physical body's arm will also become weak and feeble, like withered flowers and plants.

The Fire God Cult does have an elixir of immortality that could save him, but the price would be far too high.

"Sir, you're standing up for Elder Liu like this, but can you protect her forever? You've only met by chance. When you leave, Elder Liu will still have to live under the same sky as us," Xue Li said indignantly.

She was willing to back down because of the Third Prince.

The third prince bowed his head, not daring to risk forcing such a nobleman to leave.

This has nothing to do with the Li Huo Shen Jiao (Fire God Cult), so naturally they wouldn't agree to it.

"Threatening me? Then leave your arm behind."

"Since you are being so aggressive, then don't blame Xue Li for not playing along!"

Xue Li said coldly, now he was resorting to sophistry, a far cry from his previous recklessness.

She turned to leave, unwilling to stay any longer.

"Did I say, can you leave?" Shen Ming said coldly.

"Your Excellency, you may have forgotten, but I told you that you cannot make a move within the range of the Divine Stele." Xue Li smiled with a hint of smugness.

"is it?"

Shen Ming naturally hadn't forgotten this point, and saw his left hand pointing at the Endless Divine Stele, the primordial runes in his palm glowing brightly.

In no time at all, all the restrictions and magic arrays in the area around the Divine Stele were lifted.

Not only that, even the anti-air formation no longer exists.

"How did you do it?!"

This shocked not only Xue Li and the Third Prince, but everyone present.

Many gazes turned to Chang Yuan, thinking that even the chosen one of the temple might not be able to do this.

Chang Yuan raised his sword-like eyebrows, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Chang Yuan, this is none of your business as the chosen one. Why don't you leave now?" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi mocked.

"Qin Yao, since you said you came for him, could you tell me his background and name?" Chang Yuan said.

"Who am I to tell you?"

"I don't think you know him, otherwise you wouldn't have gone up to congratulate him right away after his trial ended."

"Ha, have you seen anyone else go up to congratulate them?" Qin Yao retorted.

Chang Yuan pursed his lips and stopped speaking.

On Shen Ming's side, the atmosphere was tense.

"Your Excellency, are you really going to go this far?" Xue Li said, lifting the Divine Furnace of Li Fire with her slender hands. Compared to her younger brother Xue Yaoyang, the Li Fire in the furnace was not just formed from condensed magical power.

The third prince, who was standing nearby, quickly retreated.

He was actually pleased to see Xue Li's reaction.

As a prince, even if one has to bow down due to the situation, there must be a limit.

Shen Ming refused to give up. Did he expect him to be subservient?

Anyway, the current conflict is between the Fire God Cult and Shen Ming.

"Hahaha!"

For some reason, Shen Ming burst into laughter.

These self-important people all have the same face.

It's as if bowing one's head and admitting one's mistakes is already a blessing, and others can only accept it and be magnanimous.

If they don't accept it, it's as if it's some heinous crime, and they'll fly into a rage.

"Today, I have come to sever your arrogance."

"Pooh!"

Xue Li was furious and stopped holding back, causing the sacred fire in the divine furnace to burn fiercely.

Everyone watched with bated breath, as the relationship between the rankings and combat power on the Endless God Ranking was rather mysterious.

It's not that Shen Ming can defeat Lin Changsheng, who was previously ranked number one, just because he's now at the Emperor Realm.

The same principle applies to Xue Li and Shen Ming.

Xue Li is at the Human King level, or rather, the Holy Maiden of the Li Huo God Sect saw Shen Ming's spiritual fluctuations, which were at the True King level within the Divine Stele.

It's really hard to say what the outcome will be.

As a result, Shen Ming slashed down with his sword, and the magnificent sword light directly engulfed the flames, severely damaging the Fire God Furnace.

Xue Li let out a miserable cry as the Divine Furnace of Li Fire in his hand exploded under the strain.

The hand that had been supporting the divine furnace fell limply to its side, leaving streaks of light on its surface.

These streaks of light continued to expand, becoming dazzling.

"Do not……"

Under Xue Li's incredulous gaze, with a crack, his arm shattered.

If I say I'll cut off your hand, I'll cut off your hand.

The top geniuses of the Fifth Realm are defeated with a single sword strike!

"Damn boy!"

The elders of the Fire God Cult were both shocked and furious.

They were keeping watch from the sidelines, focused and ready to act at the slightest sign of trouble.

Who knew Shen Ming's sword strike would be so fierce, giving them no time to react?

They all suspected that the saintess might have made a mistake.

"Lihuo Fentian!"

Four quasi-emperor level elders attacked simultaneously.

The sacred land of the upper realm possesses an extraordinary foundation.

These elders are not only quasi-emperors, but some are even emperors.

However, under the hundred-foot-tall divine stele, one's cultivation level will drop to that of a quasi-emperor!

The eldest princess of the Divine Flame Dynasty exuded a sharp aura, preparing to defuse the conflict.

"Stop! Do you think my First Temple doesn't exist?!"

As it turned out, someone beat them to it – Chang Yuan of the First Temple!

He descended from the sky with overwhelming force, and the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy directly suppressed the scorching heat wave.

“This is a sacred site, not a place where we can act rashly!” Chang Yuan said.

His words were very effective, and even the Fire God Cult became wary of him.

"He made the first move and broke the restrictions on the divine stele!" an elder of the Li Huo Divine Sect said with dissatisfaction.

"Shut up, do you think I can't see it?"

Chang Yuan snorted coldly, then looked at Shen Ming and said in an unquestionable voice, "With your temperament, you will disrupt the stability and balance of the Divine Realm. Hand over the original runes to the Temple for safekeeping."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ming burst out laughing, mocking him without reservation.

hypocritical!

"..."

Chang Yuan's face was extremely gloomy.

The others were surprised by Shen Ming's boldness and fell silent.
