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

The next second, the roar of the Heavenly Blaze Clan's Supreme Saint echoed from the sea of ​​fire.

The Holy Emperor Pillar, which was practically useless to Shen Ming, proved surprisingly effective on him.

They immediately destroyed the Heavenly Blaze Clan's great formation.

The eldest princess, Fusheng Zhenren, and the others suspected a trap and did not act rashly until the fire subsided and they saw that Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen were safe and sound.

Lin Beishengjun and another Shengjun, having lost all their life force, immediately reacted and attacked the Tianchi clan.

"You dare betray Di Ling!"

This supreme saint of the Tianchi clan is named Liaotian, and can be considered Di Ling's uncle.

Traitors are far more despicable than enemies; his eyes blazed with fury as he attempted to kill the two holy rulers.

As a result, he was trapped in eternal damnation and could never get close.

"Go! Break through to the pillar where there is no Holy King!"

Liaotian realized that the situation was hopeless, so he gathered all his clansmen, burned his own blood essence, and transformed into a ferocious fire dragon.

The immortals all retreated. Generally, unless there is a deep-seated blood feud, they would not continue to attack an opponent who had burned their life essence.

Even if he survives the burning of his life essence, his strength will plummet. He could easily kill him next time he sees him; there's no need to take the risk now.

Shen Ming watched as the Tianchi clan fled, while he himself landed in the Holy Emperor Mountain.

This mountain is a treasure of the Holy Emperor's Academy and has extraordinary significance.

Moreover, the Holy Emperor's Palace contains the Holy Emperor's Academy's spoils from this trip, with a dazzling array of treasures.

With a wave of his hand, Shen Ming sent half of the treasures flying out, bestowing them upon Fusheng Zhenren and the others.

"Thank you, Holy Emperor!" They accepted the gift with great satisfaction, after all, they had just contributed their efforts.

The other half of the treasures consisted of raw materials that could be used to restore the Great Luo Sword, such as star essence, moonstone, and many divine source materials.

At the same time, news of the fall of Holy Emperor Mountain and the death of Lin Beishengjun caught up with the group that had crossed Holy Emperor Mountain earlier.

Saint Emperor Wuji has already reached the Saint Realm and has personally killed Lin Bei Saint Lord!

The news was chilling, and even those not involved in the struggle for the Holy Emperor were shocked by the speed at which this Holy Emperor was growing.

A truly exceptional genius.

An anomaly is one that breaks the norms of a system, rendering all standards of measurement useless.

"He and the Heaven-Mending Saintess were always seen together, and the Heaven-Mending Saintess had spoken with certainty to the Holy Emperor's successor before this."

"Could the Holy Emperor Wuji be Shen Ming?"

"It's very likely they all came from the lower realms!"

Furthermore, as more details emerged, people gradually guessed Shen Ming's identity.

Di Ling and his group at the front also received the news.

This time, Di Ling frowned deeply.

Even with the Four Great Sages and the Holy Emperor Pillar, he couldn't handle it.

“There’s no need to worry. He may have the power to break the Holy Emperor’s Pillar, but that power may not be the same as the combat strength you need to fight,” Elder White Eyebrows said.

Di Ling remained silent. He understood the reasoning, but he disliked the feeling.

Shen Ming still had confidence after slaying the Dragon Sparrow with his sword domain.

Hearing that Shen Ming had killed the little sword immortal, I felt a slight sense of urgency.

Now, Shen Ming's conquest of Holy Emperor Mountain and killing of Lin Beishengjun has put pressure on him.

Shen Ming is getting closer and closer to him step by step.

"Moreover, this might be a good thing," Elder White Eyebrows said.

"Good thing?"

“Remember when I told you that the Holy Throne was showing signs of going out of control and could only be held in place by chains? He was unaware of this and would definitely break the chains, at which point he would inevitably suffer the backlash.”

Di Ling's first reaction was to be secretly pleased, but he quickly became dissatisfied with his reaction and snorted coldly.

……

On Shen Ming's side, while the Great Luo Sword was absorbing, he found the deepest part of the Holy Emperor Palace and found the old and solemn throne.

The throne was carved from a single piece of mysterious black stone, its surface shimmering with a faint golden light, giving it a sacred and inviolable feel.

The entire throne seemed to contain endless majesty and power, a symbol of the Holy Emperor, and only a true Holy Emperor could bear this pressure.

However, there were chains around the throne.

These chains, like shadows, coiled around the throne, emitting a low hum.

"It seems the Holy Emperor Academy knows that Di Ling is not the true Holy Emperor."

Shen Ming had a preconceived notion that the chains were used to control the throne, thereby manipulating Mount Shenghuang.

In some ways, he wasn't wrong.

These chains, each one radiating a blinding light, contained a powerful binding force.

These chains were tightly bound around the throne, as if locking this throne, which should have symbolized supreme power, in place.

"Usurping the throne is a recurring theme in the power struggles of imperial dynasties," said Li Miaozhen, who followed in.

If Jian Li were here, she would tell them that it wasn't like that; it was the throne that was out of control.

However, Jian Li is currently absorbing rare and precious materials to restore her sword intent.

Shen Ming opened his right hand, and a devouring power spread out, landing on the chains of the throne.

The chains emitted a sharp clanging sound, as if they were still struggling and resisting.

But all efforts are in vain before the power of devouring.

The chains snapped, and fragments flew through the air, shimmering in the air. With a series of loud shattering sounds, the throne radiated a dazzling golden light.

Shen Ming strode toward the throne and sat down with full confidence.

If the Holy Emperor personally bestows upon him the Holy Emperor's Decree, then he is the Holy Emperor.

The Holy Throne awaits me!

The moment his buttocks landed, a violent and terrifying power erupted from the Holy Throne.

But soon, without anyone noticing, this power vanished, and even the out-of-control artifact spirit disappeared along with it.

In an instant, it seemed as if the entire Holy Emperor Palace was shaken by an invisible force, and a deafening roar resounded above the palace.

The energy between heaven and earth began to condense at a frantic speed, continuously pouring into Shen Ming's body.

The entire Holy Emperor Mountain seemed to have found its home, with runes spreading from the mountaintop, piercing through the clouds, and forming an invisible barrier of power that firmly isolated the Holy Emperor Mountain from the outside world.

"This, this is the real Holy Emperor Mountain!"

"He subdued the throne?!"

The two sage rulers finally trembled with fear and realized that Shen Ming was the true sage ruler!

The aura released by Mount Shenghuang continued to sweep across all directions.

Di Ling and his group immediately sensed a powerful fluctuation.

Di Ling's face turned pale instantly, and an indescribable sense of oppression rose in his heart.

"Could he really be the Holy Emperor?" Di Ling murmured to himself, feeling his blood suddenly freeze at that moment.

The next second, his body trembled violently, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"The strong rule, the weak are condemned!"

Di Ling clenched his fists, and bursts of light emanated from his fingertips.

Even if they are rebelling, they are already halfway through, and there has never been a reason to give up.

Elder Bai Mei was well aware of all this, and in his heart he complained that Shen Ming had never come to the Holy Emperor Academy, not giving them the opportunity to choose and discern.

On Mount Shenghuang, the commotion gradually subsided, and everything returned to tranquility.

But as soon as Shen Ming walked out of the Holy Emperor Palace, everyone outside felt an irresistible pressure emanating from him.
