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

Shen Ming is not the kind of person who would prove himself to the enemy.

Kill them if you have the chance; never let them go.

The Blazing Sword Prison reignites, and Chang Yuan is doomed.

Chang Yuan showed a moment of panic, but quickly regained his composure.

At the same time, a magnificent temple suddenly appeared out of thin air.

The temple exuded a sacred and solemn aura, and a figure dressed in moon white stepped out from it.

He had a head of white hair, but he didn't look old at all; he exuded an extraordinary and refined aura.

He held a scepter that radiated a gentle divine power.

The messenger of the First Temple!

Everyone looked wary, and many saints were ready to leave at any moment.

Because the divine envoy can use the power of the Emperor Realm within this hundred-foot divine domain!

“Divine messenger! He is that sinner, beware of his calamity!” Chang Yuan hurriedly said.

However, the divine messenger stared at him with an indescribable expression.

Chang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. The so-called tribulation fire did not exist at all!

For some reason, he hadn't thought of that at all.

That might really be the so-called Chaos Fire; Shen Ming deliberately sent a message to confuse the public.

"Why didn't I have a single moment of doubt just now?"

Upon closer reflection, Chang Yuan realized something was amiss; Shen Ming's words seemed to possess a magical power.

He believes whatever you tell him, even if it goes against his common sense.

No wonder the divine messenger looked at him with such disappointment.

The divine messenger turned his gaze to Shen Ming and said loudly, "The primordial runes are related to the balance of the divine realm. You couldn't control them. Hand them over to the First Temple, and we will forgive and forget about them."

The divine messenger deliberately didn't mention any benefits, waiting for Shen Ming to ask.

"Dream on, don't even think about it again." Shen Ming wasn't buying it.

“You can break the magic arrays and restrictions in this area, but you can’t control me. I also have a primordial rune.”

The divine messenger said, “We can share and learn from each other.”

"you also have?"

Shen Ming thought it made sense considering that the other party was a divine envoy of the First Temple.

“I guess the concept of the Sin Domain started when you began to comprehend the primordial runes,” Shen Ming said.

"Hmm?" The divine messenger frowned, not understanding what he meant, but it was indeed from that time.

“It’s pathetic that you’ve become a slave to the runes without even realizing it,” Shen Ming said.

He initially thought that the Lower Three Realms had become the Sinful Domain because of the combined forces of the major powers in the Middle Three Realms.

On second thought, the major powers are mortal enemies and it's impossible for them to cooperate in this kind of thing.

Knowing the First Temple's involvement, it finally seemed reasonable.

However, he was unaware of the temple's ulterior motives.

He didn't understand why until he obtained the primordial runes from the Endless Divine Stele.

"The creatures of the Sinful Realm are all like this; you missed your chance."

As the messenger spoke, he raised his scepter high, and a dazzling divine light rose up.

The divine power of the Emperor Realm should not be underestimated.

“While I cannot control you, I can control this realm.” With that, Shen Ming raised his left hand again.

The messenger realized something and immediately tried to speed things up, but it was too late.

The hundred-foot-tall Endless Divine Stele once again spewed out dazzling golden light, and restrictions and magic arrays began to weave again in this space.

The first thing to be restored was the anti-air magic circle.

The troops of the Divine Flame Dynasty and the Pan Yue Dynasty, who were still engaged in a fierce battle, realized something was wrong and returned to their cloud ships before falling.

Immediately afterwards, the divine light on the divine messenger's scepter went out.

Do not touch anything beneath the sacred monument.

Even the messengers of the First Temple are no exception.

Shen Ming soars through the sky, standing invincible.

The group, who had been at loggerheads and unwilling to back down, stared at each other, feeling a strange sense of awkwardness.

Especially the aggressive divine messenger and Chang Yuan, neither of them knew what to do.

"Do you think you can hide forever?" Chang Yuan shouted.

"Hide? I know that no one has yet reached the top of the Thousand-Foot Divine Stele and the Ten-Thousand-Foot Divine Stele. Once I get those two runes, I will uproot your First Temple." Shen Ming shouted.

The First Temple indiscriminately attacked the three lower realms, unleashing calamity fire.

Shen Ming came from the Lower Three Realms. Even though his achievements were already higher than those of the geniuses in the Middle Three Realms, he would not stand aside and think it was none of his business.

"What arrogance! You think you can reach the top of all three divine steles? You're just a nobody, not even qualified to enter the divine steles!" Chang Yuan shouted.

"Ah."

Shen Ming smiled without saying a word, and landed above the Endless Divine Stele. In his palm appeared the giant ship of the Divine Flame Dynasty, which was filled with divine source.

Ironically, this was compensation from the Divine Flame Dynasty to him, yet the Divine Flame Dynasty had just fought for him.

Chang Yuan's lips twitched; he didn't believe Shen Ming could reach the Emperor Realm in such a short time.

However, it seems that there is nothing the First Temple can do; it can only wait for that day to come!

"Um, can we continue challenging the Divine Stele?"

In particular, some cultivators began to seek Shen Ming's permission.

“Of course,” Shen Ming agreed.

The Hundred-Foot Divine Stele reopened to the public, and some kings, finding no excitement to watch, continued their trials.

This is no loss for Shen Ming, as the Divine Stele was originally part of the Endless Divine Realm.

Chang Yuan and the divine messenger were left standing there, unattended.

All parties involved considered this outcome reasonable.

They didn't expect Shen Ming to sink the First Temple directly.

The fact that the First Temple couldn't do anything about him was already beyond many people's expectations.

Some people also realized that the ownership of the Hundred-Foot Stele might change hands.

The fact that Shen Ming can control the divine stele alone represents all sorts of possibilities.

Sure enough, under envious gazes, the eldest princess of the Divine Flame Dynasty and the emperor's brother-in-law approached Shen Ming.

Because of the Shenyan Dynasty's performance just now, Shen Ming also showed them a friendly attitude.

“You don’t need to tell us your real name, but please let us know that you come from the Divine Flame Dynasty,” the Imperial Uncle said.

If Shen Ming isn't, that's fine too; it was just a favor.

"Yes, that's me." Shen Ming nodded.

Upon hearing this, both the eldest princess and the emperor's brother-in-law were overjoyed.

"The third prince was temporarily bewitched, please don't worry about him, he will never appear before you again," the eldest princess said.

The Third Prince has completely offended such a prodigy; just thinking about it makes one shudder.

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Ming didn't care. He was telling the truth. Even if he and the Third Prince were to fight to the death, as long as it didn't involve the entire dynasty, it was just a personal grudge.

We cannot overlook Princess Huofeng's affection just because of the Third Prince's behavior.

Correspondingly, the national general of the Panyue Dynasty looked grim.

The country has been in a period of bad luck lately, suffering repeated setbacks.

"He really wasn't the guy who killed the Champion Marquis?" the Guardian General asked, unwilling to accept it.

Although the technique of changing the world could not be detected, Shen Ming's behavior was too much like that person's characteristics.

The guardian general couldn't help but think of that possibility.

Unfortunately, despite using every means to see through the disguise, they were unable to see Shen Ming's true face.

Including that sword, he initially thought it was the lost Great Luo Sword, but after comparing it with the mold, he still found nothing.

Little did they know, what they saw was the true face, whether it was the sword or the person.

However, they couldn't recognize him.
