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

Changyuan represents the First Temple and has absolute authority in the Endless Divine Realm.

Just as Shen Ming was able to control the restrictions and magic arrays within the range of the Divine Stele, the First Divine Temple wielded immense power.

"Don't you know who I am?" Chang Yuan felt that Shen Ming hadn't grasped this point.

"I don't want to know," Shen Ming asked.

"Arrogant! I announce your name in the name of the First Temple!"

A golden scepter appeared in Chang Yuan's hand.

Golden ripples emanated from the top of the scepter, spreading out in all directions.

When those around are touched by the ripples, their spiritual bodies will experience significant fluctuations, and their minds will be shaken.

When they met Chang Yuan's golden eyes, they all felt an urge to worship him.

The impact on Shen Ming was hundreds of times greater than that on others.

His expression remained unchanged, unmoved.

"..."

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, more powerless than punching cotton.

Chang Yuan lowered his eyelids. The scepter in his hand was called the Endless Divine Staff, which possessed irresistible divine power and could shake the spiritual fire of all living beings.

In this endless divine realm, every spiritual body is a manifestation of spiritual will.

As a result, the person in front of him remained unmoved.

It's speculated that this is due to the effect of Shen Ming's original rune.

In fact, Shen Ming was the same even without the original runes.

Chang Yuan twisted the scepter in his hand, and the tip transformed into a cold blade, turning the Endless Divine Staff into an Endless Divine Blade.

"Do you really want to oppose me?" Chang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Chang Yuan, if you want to steal his things, just say so. Why bother with all this high-sounding talk?" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi mocked from above.

The Holy Maiden of the Sixth Holy Land has the confidence to challenge the First Temple.

Now everyone could feel Chang Yuan's overwhelming anger.

He brandished the Endless Divine Blade, making a few gestures in the air, using the void as a canvas to draw a transparent, three-dimensional square, forming an absolute domain.

Within this domain, there are Shen Ming and the four quasi-emperor elders of the Li Huo God Sect.

“In the name of the temple, I grant you the authority to take action,” Chang Yuan said.

The elders of the Fire God Cult were more than happy to accept this attitude from the First Temple, and they were willing to give their all.

"Chang Yuan, you're abusing your power for personal gain."

Just then, the eldest princess of the Divine Flame Dynasty stepped forward to question him.

These words were even more direct than those of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, but upon seeing that it was her, they all felt relieved.

The eldest princess is a sword cultivator, as are all sword cultivators.

"If you're not satisfied, feel free to enter the domain and help them," Chang Yuan said coldly.

As soon as the words were spoken, the four major powers of the Fourth Realm expressed their support.

In the Endless Divine Realm, it's all about the big fish eating the small fish.

The forces of the Fourth Realm are at the very bottom, therefore, they have no choice but to follow the First Temple at all costs.

They stood in a line outside the domain, trying to keep everyone out, including the eldest princess of the Divine Flame Dynasty.

"Not worth mentioning."

The princess produced a flaming longsword, exuding an extremely fierce aura, still ready to make her move.

The emperor's brother-in-law shouted loudly and unfurled a flag.

The flags fluttered in the wind, burning fiercely, leaving behind a magnificent cloud of fire.

The next second, the Imperial Guards of the Divine Flame Dynasty, the Burning Heaven Army, emerged from the fiery clouds, like heavenly soldiers and generals descending to earth, their momentum overwhelming.

In comparison, the cultivators of the four major families were immediately at a disadvantage.

"It seems that this Wuji is a prince of the Divine Flame Dynasty!"

Seeing the Divine Flame Dynasty making such a fuss, everyone began to speculate about the origins of this Wuji.

Chang Yuan's face turned ashen; today, people had been provoking his divine might so frequently.

"It's their private matter, the Endless Divine Realm, and you, the Divine Flame Dynasty, are jumping around about it."

Just then, a national guardian general of the Panyue Dynasty stepped forward!

The Pan Yue Dynasty had always been there, just watching the show, until the Shen Yan Dynasty took action.

The last time a king-level hunter appeared, relations between the two great dynasties deteriorated.

Anything supported by the Divine Flame Dynasty, the Pan Yue Dynasty would oppose.

"Chosen by the gods, our Panyue Dynasty is willing to serve the temple," the national guardian general proclaimed.

Chang Yuan nodded, his expression softening considerably.

Tensions are high, and an epic battle could break out at any moment.

At this point, right and wrong, as well as reasons, are not important; everyone has their own purpose.

"Elder Huo Luo, the Li Huo Divine Sect and our Shen Yan Dynasty are allies. There is no need to do something that hurts our friends and pleases our enemies."

The emperor's brother-in-law sent a message, trying to calm the Grand Elder of the Fire God Cult down.

"You yourself claim to be an ally, yet our Holy Maiden has had her arm severed, and you expect us to just let it go like this? Anyone who doesn't know better would think we are vassals of the Fire God Sect!" Elder Huo Luo refused to accept this.

Xue Li had just considered downplaying the matter, but Shen Ming was unwilling to do so.

They can't back down now, so they're expected to give up? That's unreasonable!

Shen Ming never expected the Divine Flame Dynasty to go this far, and he remembered his identity as the Little Ming King.

"It's alright, everyone just need to wait," he said to the princess.

He is now at the ninth level of the Heavenly Sword realm and is just worried about not having a major battle.

The eldest princess immediately sheathed her sword and stood still. As fellow sword cultivators, everything was understood without words.

"Arrogant! You don't know your place! There's a King of Earth and a King of Heaven between us!" Elder Huo Luo rebuked angrily.

"Lihuo Fentian!"

The four elders continued to complete the magical array they had just created.

The spiritual energy around the four of them surged forth like a mighty river, intertwining and converging with the dazzling brilliance of the Fiery Blaze, slowly condensing into an enormous divine furnace.

The furnace body resembled a towering small mountain.

The furnace lid was enormous, seemingly carrying immense power, and its surface was covered with extremely intricate spiritual patterns, creating an overwhelming pressure.

They moved up and down, trapping Shen Ming inside.

The Heaven-Burning Fire could even burn the heavens, and a blazing red light could be seen gushing out from the divine furnace.

With the combined efforts of the four quasi-emperors, one can easily imagine what fate awaited Shen Ming.

"God-Slaying Sword Technique - First Form!"

As a result, Shen Ming's firm voice came from the divine furnace.

A sword aura, seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart, erupted from the tip of the sword, its pure white color emanating from it.

The entire divine furnace trembled violently, and the mysterious and ancient runes on its surface shattered and crumbled like fragile spider webs.

With a deafening roar, the massive furnace collapsed to both sides, sending scorching flames flying everywhere.

Shen Ming reappeared, unharmed, surrounded by dazzling sword light.

On the contrary, the four elders of the Fire God Sect looked grim.

"Heavenly Sword Ninth Rank! It's Heavenly Sword Ninth Rank! He's already a Sword Venerable!" The princess's eyes trembled slightly, showing a rare excitement.

"War God Sword Technique - Second Form!"

Suddenly, Shen Ming drew his sword again.

The sound wasn't loud, but it resounded throughout the world. The Great Luo Sword in his hand, imbued with world-destroying power, instantly transformed into a streak of sword light.

Upon seeing this, the four elders of the Li Huo Divine Sect changed their expressions drastically and attempted to block the fierce attack.

However, the power of this sword was far beyond their imagination. The hundred-foot sword light was like a falling meteor, slashing down at them with overwhelming force.

Before they could even utter a scream, they were completely engulfed by the sword light, which contained boundless sword intent.

As the light faded, nothing remained where the four elders had stood.
