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

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Lianyun calmly and composedly landed in the sacred mountain domain.

The pure-blooded alien races around them all revealed murderous eyes.

Suddenly, the golden unicorn could no longer contain itself and its entire body burst into flames.

He roared, his voice like thunder piercing the sky, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to disperse and filling the air with a scorching heat.

The sea of ​​fire surged, and flames erupted like a torrent, resembling a river of purgatory, rushing straight towards Su Lianyun!

Wherever it passes, space is distorted.

Su Lianyun remained calm, with a faint smile on her face.

The alien race of Shenshan revealed their true purpose: to frame the Eternal Academy and severely damage it.

Now that we can directly kill the strongest fighter, there's no need for any trouble.

However, Su Lianyun was not so easy to kill.

He summoned his natal sword, and a vast and boundless sword aura surged forth.

From an old and weathered young king, he transformed into an awe-inspiring and inviolable Sword Emperor.

Before eternity, there is no distinction between time and sequence.

Su Lianyun has been guarding the Eternal Palace for a thousand years.

By understanding the eternal way, one can grasp the essence of a thousand years in a single moment.

A thousand years of accumulation, erupting in an instant.

Therefore, Shen Ming could not emulate his senior brother and reach the level of Sword Saint in one step.

Just as the flames were about to engulf Su Lianyun, a flash of sword light appeared, like a cold star falling to the ground.

Like a crack in the sky, piercing through the void, the unstoppable divine flames were like waves being cut apart before the sword light, splitting to the left and right, unable to advance an inch.

The golden Qilin was furious and strode out. Its huge fiery claws slashed down like heavenly blades, tearing a burning crack in the space in front of it. Its aura was terrifying and its pressure was unstoppable!

"Heavenly Tribulation Sword!"

Su Lianyun unleashed the Thunder Sword Prison directly, and the magnificent heavenly tribulation was unstoppable.

When the two collided, the mountain-like golden unicorn was forced back.

"Come at me all at once," Su Lianyun said coldly, raising his eyes.

The nine-headed lions joined the battle, attacking from both sides.

"Divine Mountain aliens! You've confessed without being asked!" Nangong Tian roared.

Upon hearing this, everyone confirmed that today's events were indeed a conspiracy by the alien race of the sacred mountain.

"You humans are cunning and treacherous; we must be wary of you," Hun Tian Niu retorted loudly, refusing to admit it.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."

Elders Hua Hao and Hua Nan emerged, followed closely by allies such as Fire Spirit King and Blade King.

More than ten quasi-emperors, with overwhelming power, were no less formidable than the alien races of the sacred mountain.

A great battle is about to break out, and there must be some kind of domain power in the sacred mountain.

However, since alien races do not possess human bodies, they are certainly not as effective as formations and restrictions.

Therefore, Eternal Academy was not too worried.

However, a low rumble suddenly came from the mountainside of the Divine Descendant Mountain, as if all things were wailing, and the mountain itself trembled slightly.

Everyone quickly stopped, their faces showing seriousness.

Suddenly, dark red thorns shot into the sky!

These thorns are as thick as dragon bones, covered with sharp spikes, each one emitting an eerie dark light, as if stained with blood, exuding a suffocating murderous intent.

The thorns grew wildly, as if they were alive, and in an instant covered the entire airspace, enveloping the quasi-emperors.

Like divine chains, they meandered and danced in the air, emitting a piercing sound as they cut through the air.

"Not good! This is a divine embryo!" the Sword King exclaimed, swinging his sword to strike, but the sword light was shattered by the sharp spikes as soon as it touched the thorns, sparks flying everywhere.

The next moment, the thorns split into several branches, as if a ferocious beast had opened its blood-red maw, tearing open a bloody wound.

"The divine embryo has actually awakened! Unbelievable! The thorns of the gods can pierce through all things!" King Pingyang summoned a pillar of divine fire, its flames billowing as it tried to open up this sky.

Like immortal spirits, divine embryos are meant to remain dormant in this world.

Thorns bound the magical artifact tightly like iron chains.

In an instant, the pillar of divine fire was bound by layers of restraints, and a mournful cry emanated from it before the flames vanished.

The Thorns of God's attack grew increasingly ferocious, seemingly possessing inexhaustible power, surging forth like a tidal wave, turning the entire mountain into a prison that devoured life.

This is far more troublesome than formations and restrictions; it is the power of a god.

"Dean Su, is this still part of your plan?" Dao Wang couldn't help but ask.

Su Lianyun landed directly on the sacred mountain, and then they followed.

"Hold on for fifteen minutes," Su Lianyun said.

"Dean, I'll take the Imperial Prince away first!"

At this moment, the Supreme Elder Hua Hao turned and left.

He was always on the edge of thorns, as if he had anticipated this and was always prepared.

Then he returned to the Eternal Warship and shouted, "Your Highness, we must leave immediately!"

He said that with a flick of his finger, a pale golden rune flew out from his palm, instantly transforming into a ring of light that surrounded the two of them. Then, he took a step, and the surrounding space suddenly trembled, rippling outwards like water.

Shen Ming felt the scene before him blur, as if the world had collapsed in an instant, and all distances had been forcibly compressed into nothingness.

Under the influence of this supernatural power, the ground beneath their feet was rapidly unfurled like a scroll of paper, and the world seemed to be filled only with endless flowing light and distorted shadows.

The two people vanished into thin air.

To outsiders, this seems perfectly normal.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse; saving the prince's life was of utmost importance.

"But why does Eternal Academy seem a bit reckless?"

Some people sensed something was amiss and thought something unexpected was about to happen.

At the same time, the auras of the four quasi-emperors disappeared.

……

Shen Ming felt a sudden shift in the stars and found himself in a closed palace.

The main hall's dome curves like a starry sky, and the surrounding walls are cast in black gold, with ancient and intricate patterns carved on their surfaces, resembling some kind of long-lost formation.

"Elder, where is this?" Shen Mingming asked knowingly.

Elder Hua Hao's face was shrouded in shadow, and he remained silent.

At this moment, he stopped pretending.

Shen Ming heard a smug laugh coming from directly in front of him.

Princess Yuehua sat on a bench.

She wore a light, dark red dress with the hem hanging down casually, revealing a pair of long, shapely legs.

"Eternal Prince, did you ever imagine this day would come?!" Princess Yuehua's lips curled slightly, revealing a contemptuous yet playful smile. Her voice was soft and charming, yet it concealed a sharp edge.

Shen Ming frowned, staring intently at the other person's face.

Princess Yuehua grew even more smug, saying, "What? Unbelievable? Yes, how could you have imagined that someone who isn't even at the King Realm would take your life!"

"No."

Shen Ming shook his head and asked seriously, "Who are you again?"

"..."

Princess Yuehua, who was engrossed in her performance, looked like a raccoon whose tail had been stepped on.

Her chest heaved, and her eyes blazed with fury.

"Don't get me wrong, I really didn't remember."

Shen Ming was serious. After the Imperial Prince Ceremony, he went through hunting battles and the Endless Divine Realm, and met all sorts of people.

“Great Western King! Does that name sound familiar?!” Princess Yuehua said through gritted teeth.

Shen Ming's face showed a look of sudden realization; he remembered this person.

"So you are his disciple or his Daoist partner? Do you want to avenge him?" Shen Ming asked.

"Kill him!" Princess Yuehua said angrily.
