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

The Sixth Realm, Cangzhou.

Located right next to the Path of Trials, it is the only way to the upper and lower realms, and is therefore very prosperous.

In any mountain or deep marshland with a slightly abundant spiritual energy, you can see the figures of cultivators, most of whom are rogue cultivators.

The treasure lands with underground spiritual veins have been completely divided up by various major forces.

At this very moment, in a desolate wilderness, stands a very conspicuous palace.

At first glance, it looks like a mountain god temple, but upon closer inspection, you'll discover that this palace is extraordinary.

It was the Great Luo Palace, where Shen Ming, who had just returned from the World Tree, was undergoing secluded cultivation.

He sat atop the Great Luo Platform, surrounded by the radiance of the Four Symbols Law.

Wind, fire, water, and earth.

Like lightning, the Wind Dao Heart was a martial arts attribute that Shen Ming possessed early on. Later, in the Divine Stele, through tempering with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, he condensed the Wind Dao Heart.

Fire originates from the Daoist heart of creation.

The water and soil were forcibly given to him by the Myriad Gods Stele, containing endless profound mysteries that directly condensed his Dao heart.

Given enough time to comprehend it, one can transform into an immortal heart.

The four laws, known as the four elements that are the origin of the world, are a compulsory course for the saints of the Immortal Realm.

Shen Ming wanted to complete what he hadn't finished before and create the Saint-Slaying Sword.

He had been making some progress, but the divine court blew the horn of God, interrupting him.

However, he turned misfortune into blessing, and through the water-based techniques and insights of Guan Guan and others, his Water Dao Heart reached the seventh level.

"The reason why the Sovereign Realm cannot challenge opponents of higher levels is because of the Heavenly Tribulation, but I have also used the Heavenly Tribulation to kill powerful enemies."

The heavenly tribulation is the key point and focus of his efforts to achieve his goal.

He possesses the Thunder Immortal Heart and a page of the Thunder Emperor Immortal Scripture.

Coincidentally, this immortal scripture is titled "The Divine Thunder Transformation Scripture".

There are three methods: transforming one's body into calamity, transforming one's body into heaven, and transforming one's body into freedom.

As if it were all preordained, Shen Ming was greatly encouraged.

"Great achievements come from small beginnings; that's what it means to accumulate knowledge and experience before unleashing it!"

The Immortal Heart is the master, and the Four Symbols are the boundaries!

With a thunderous roar, a materialized thunderous immortal heart appeared above Shen Mingzheng, as if a heavenly tribulation had descended.

With a thought, the Four Symbols Laws rose up like pillars supporting the heavens.

Shen Ming was operating the "Divine Thunder Transformation Scripture" with all his might, causing these energies to begin to reconstruct and change.

"Is this creating a domain?"

Jian Li had been observing silently and had discerned Shen Ming's thoughts.

"But it's just flesh and blood, without a skeleton."

These were Jian Li's thoughts, but she didn't voice them.

Thinking this, he felt the Great Luo Sword Intent of the Four Forms of the Slaying Sword Technique surge forth.

This is the skeleton that Jian Li mentioned. Countless sword energies, like skilled craftsmen, are forging the domain according to Shen Ming's wishes.

"Sword Domain! He's creating a Sword Domain!"

Jian Li exclaimed in surprise, still somewhat uncertain.

Can Shen Ming's swordsmanship level bear all of this?

The things we did earlier were actually powerful enough to threaten the Holy Realm.

However, it cannot be used in actual combat unless the enemy stands still and takes the hit.

If one uses swordsmanship, and can bear these elements, the power will be limited by the upper limit of swordsmanship.

Furthermore, if Shen Ming's swordsmanship level has already reached the point of defeating a Saint, there is no need to waste time and effort here.

This principle of balance exists in all things.

What can break this balance is often something forbidden or the ultimate path.

"The Way of the Sword is Limitless, without limits."

Then, Jian Li heard Shen Ming whisper.

The Limitless Sword Path is like laying bricks, accumulating the power that a sword domain should have, brick by brick.

The sword domain gradually took shape, with powerful energy crisscrossing and roaring without a trace of chaos.

The elements, like threads woven by fate, constructed the entire Sword Domain into a self-governing realm.

Within this realm, there are no boundaries, no center; the sword intent is as boundless as the void, and the way of the sword is endless and limitless.

"The four elements of heaven and earth converge into one sword!"

The lightning at the edge of the sword domain suddenly erupted, like the roar of countless dragons, swallowing the starlight.

One after another, illusory sword shadows formed from the four elements appeared in the sword domain, each sword shadow exuding an aura of destruction and creation.

What logic could I possibly have with him? Jian Li rubbed her forehead. I was so stupid, really.

"This is the Boundless Sword Domain, what do you think?" Shen Ming asked.

"Capable of slaying saints, and not just any ordinary saint."

Jian Li changed the subject, saying somewhat uncertainly, "But if you accumulate it little by little like this, it's only for one-time use. How long can it last?"

Jian Li witnessed the whole process and knew that Shen Ming's sword domain was like an inscription of a powerful talisman.

For single-use applications, the key considerations are how long it takes to re-burn the disc and how long it can be stored.

These are all very real issues, related to the battle.

Shen Ming smiled slightly and dispersed the Boundless Sword Domain without holding back.

Under Jian Li's puzzled gaze, he raised his hand and swung his sword, simultaneously activating the Eternal Heart.

A single thought can last forever; the Limitless Sword Domain rises forth.

In the past, the concept of "eternal thought" only played a supporting role.

Another drawback is that when encountering confusion or incomprehension, the state of "eternal thought" will cease.

However, Shen Ming relied on his own creation of the Limitless Sword Domain.

Every thought and every insight belongs to you.

Therefore, the sword domain can be recreated and used for a moment of eternity!

"That is to say, by activating the Eternal Thought, one can start from scratch in an instant and condense the Limitless Sword Domain."

After saying this, Jian Li realized that her voice was trembling.

Why should I talk to him about practical issues?

"Yes."

Shen Ming nodded confidently.

It sounds complicated; anyone else would definitely be overwhelmed.

For him, it was a piece of cake, something he could do in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ming started tinkering with it again.

Before Jian Li could figure it out, she noticed that Shen Ming was emanating the aura of a Saint Realm expert.

Could it be that he reached the Saint Realm in one step?! I didn't even see a Heavenly Tribulation!

Jian Li was puzzled, and then she realized that Shen Ming was faking his saintly aura to make people mistake him for a saint.

The technique used was to change the world, but because the cultivation level corresponded to the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, if Jian Li could see it, other powerful Saint Realm cultivators who had mastered pupil techniques could also see it.

"What's going on?" Jian Li asked, puzzled.

“Now that we can slay a Saint, we should naturally pretend to be a Saint,” Shen Ming said.

“Saints usually have methods of detection that can see through you,” Jian Li said.

"Then he thought I was just at the Emperor Realm, but in the end he still died by my sword," Shen Ming said.

He wanted to observe the reaction in the monastic community.

"boring."

Jian Li hadn't expected such a simple reason, but upon reflection, she found it quite interesting.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Shen Ming smiled knowingly and opened his palm.

The surrounding scenery changed like flowing water, and the Daluo Palace returned to the size of a palm, with only a dazzling stream of light shimmering slightly in his hand.

Having accomplished all this, Shen Ming had arrived in the real world outside.

The ground beneath our feet is solid, and the sky above us is vast.

"Let's go! Let's find the first unlucky guy!"
