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

It's not necessary to be taught; even watching a battle between Sword Emperors can be very beneficial.

"Humans cannot imagine things they have not seen."

Having realized this, Shen Ming stopped pressuring the matter.

"Sword intent at the Sword Emperor level, the Great Luo Immortal Sword should possess that, right?" he asked Jian Li.

“Yes, once I unleash the third move, you will feel it firsthand and understand,” Jian Li said.

"...The Great Luo Immortal Sword can be drawn now?"

“Yes, just now in the Endless Divine Stele, the Great Luo Immortal Sword also absorbed a lot of divine source, so it can be used again,” Jian Li said.

"Then why didn't you kill that divine envoy just now?" Shen Ming asked, puzzled.

“He has primordial runes, so even if his life force is severed, he can recover completely, just like you did when you killed Chang Yuan,” Jian Li said.

Those in the First Temple possess the characteristic of being unkillable; in this endless divine realm, divine energy will continuously nourish them.

"Too."

The Great Luo Immortal Sword needs to be fully restored after each use, making it a waste to use it on enemies that cannot be killed.

Now Jian Li can also draw her sword, slashing through the air with a single strike.

Shen Ming thought it would be a pity not to use this sword to kill a powerful enemy.

"How can we kill the people from the First Temple?" Shen Ming asked.

“Runes are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining; they have them, and so do you.” Jian Li found herself experiencing an indescribable sense of accomplishment when she answered a question correctly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming looked at the original runes on his left palm.

Since mastering the runes, he has only used them to control this area and has not yet had time to comprehend their mysteries.

"Too much harvest isn't a good thing either; you'll be too busy to keep up," the god sighed.

If those people had heard this before, especially the First Temple, they would have been furious.

In this endless divine realm, it would be inappropriate to leave this primordial rune uncomprehended and unexamined.

Therefore, Shen Ming focused his energy on the original runes.

This time, Jianli took the initiative to tell him that the primordial runes represented the divinity of the supreme god.

They are Devouring, Creation, Darkness, Space, and Life and Death.

The Endless Divine Realm is constructed based on these five divine laws.

The rune obtained from the First Temple is Creation.

What Shen Ming received was actually written on his palm, but he couldn't recognize it and needed to understand it.

Shen Ming concentrated his spiritual fire and stared quietly at the runes.

At first, he only saw those faint lights floating around.

Whispers echoed in his ears again, beginning to bewitch and twist his mind.

Even though he had mastered the rune, the process of comprehending it was still extremely dangerous.

"Don't make any noise."

Shen Ming frowned, unmoved, but felt annoyed.

Ignoring the whispers, he focused intently, and his consciousness suddenly sank.

Drifting in a vast, mysterious universe, surrounded by dazzling stars that shimmer with different lights.

Directly ahead, there was a dark abyss, exuding a chilling stillness and mystery.

The surrounding light seemed to be pulled, twisted and deformed by an invisible giant hand, rushing rapidly towards the black hole. The originally shining starlight was instantly and mercilessly pulled into the black hole once it touched the edge of the black hole, disappearing without a trace, without any room for resistance.

Seeing this, Shen Ming understood which original rune he had obtained.

Devour Runes!

The energy that was swallowed did not disappear; it is being reshaped, constructing a deeper and more powerful force in an unimaginable way.

In the words of cultivators, this process is called refining.

The Devouring Rune controls the power of devouring.

It devours everything and refines everything.

More and more profound mysteries were revealed under his gaze.

However, during this process, his spirit body was engulfed in black flames, which distorted his aura.

"All runes are corrupted, even unconsciously!"

Jian Li, who had been observing, noticed this and wanted to remind Shen Ming.

Soon, Jianli realized that it was unnecessary.

Shen Ming was unaffected and remained unharmed despite the black flames burning.

When Shen Ming opened his eyes and regained consciousness, all the black flames went out in an instant, as if afraid of being discovered.

Shen Ming told Jian Li that the one he obtained was a Devouring Rune.

He can already use the power of devouring in a simple way.

After demonstrating it to Jian Li, Jian Li exclaimed with delight, "Perfect! Devouring runes counter creation runes, and yours can devour their divinity!"

"not only that!"

Shen Ming opened the Qiankun Space in the cabin.

The divine essence inside was piled up like mountains. As the harvest of the Divine Flame Dynasty, each piece was of the best quality, radiating a brilliant and sacred light, and containing extremely powerful and pure energy.

Shen Ming raised his hands, forming a profound and complex hand seal in front of him. As the hand seal was formed, a dark and deep devouring power surged from his palms.

The power of devouring swept towards the divine source like a flood breaking through a dam.

The massive amount of divine energy seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, trembling violently, its brilliant light completely obscured by the devouring power.

The energy it contained surged wildly into Shen Ming's body.

In the past, even with Shen Ming's Limitless Realm, it would have taken several months to refine and absorb all of such a large amount of divine energy.

The devouring power is now like a solar furnace, rapidly melting every piece of divine source that has been devoured, after entering Shen Ming's body.

The powerful energy became incredibly gentle, flowing down Shen Mingling's body.

Judging from this trend, the entire divine source can be refined in just a few days.

Shen Ming's aura rose steadily, undergoing a complete transformation every moment.

A faint halo surrounded him, the glow emanating from the rapid refinement of divine power. Strange runes flashed in his originally deep eyes from time to time.

……

At the same time, in another world.

Upon receiving the news, people flocked to the thousand-foot-tall divine stele and gathered there.

Compared to the hundred-foot-tall divine stele, this place is truly dazzling, with all the powerful and influential holy lords of the Middle Three Realms standing at the front.

There are also unparalleled geniuses from the holy lands and great sects of the Three Realms.

One by one, they peered out, eager to know who the Holy Emperor's successor was.

The person in question hasn't made an appearance yet, but their identity has already been revealed.

A celestial seedling from the Holy Hall, on par with the Ancient Holy Academy!

The Ancient Holy Academy and the Supreme Holy Hall are both the hubs of the Middle Three Realms and the Upper Three Realms.

Those who can enter are all exceptional talents envied by countless others.

The title "Immortal Seedling" is an honorary title that carries even greater promise than that of an Imperial Son.

This successor of the Holy Land is none other than Jun Cangsheng of the Holy Temple.

Many people's first reaction upon hearing the news was that it was only natural.

Only the immortal seedlings of the Holy Temple are worthy of being the successor of the Holy Emperor!

Countless people stared wide-eyed, eager to witness the splendor of the Immortal Seedling.
