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

Finally, Shen Ming took Shenghuang Mountain into the Daluo Palace and led his large army on their way.

In the ancient treasure realm, there are also the ruins of an emperor, something no one could have imagined.

"Di Ling has been leading the way thanks to his double pupils, we need to hurry."

Mo Yuan and other Supreme Elders of the Patching Heaven Sect arrived and joined the group.

They supported Shen Ming and directly criticized Di Ling.

Based on Shen Ming's performance so far, taking down Di Ling is a piece of cake.

But now the struggle isn't about winning or losing, but about the opportunities within the ruins.

If Di Ling manages to get the treasure first, he might be able to turn the tide.

"It's alright, I am the chosen one of destiny for this world."

Shen Ming was confident; his initial decision to turn back at Xinglu was for the sake of the world's origin.

With good fortune upon you, you will not fear any competition.

Almost as soon as Shen Ming was thinking this, a dramatic change occurred in the outer region of the Great Emperor's Ruins.

A biting wind howled through the sky, accompanied by the faint rumble of thunder, as a tornado blocked their path like an insurmountable barrier.

The raging tornado in the sky roared like a giant dragon, sweeping down with shards of ice, tearing the ground into countless ravines.

Some cultivators who had passed by Holy Emperor Mountain early on tried to avoid it and ended up in the midst of the storm.

Logically speaking, with the cultivation level of a Saint Realm cultivator, ordinary storms should not be able to shake them in the slightest.

But this was no ordinary storm; it wasn't just the winds that were incredibly strong.

Ice crystals continued to fall like raindrops.

Caught off guard, a royal realm expert was struck by ice crystals that pierced his body, causing blood to splatter across the sky.

"Formation!"

Frightened, each faction gathered its magical power together or relied on external objects to resist.

When Shen Ming and his group arrived, they encountered Xuan Xiaozi and his group on the outskirts.

These people just switched their allegiance to Di Ling and crossed the Holy Emperor Mountain.

Suddenly, a storm descended, blocking the way.

Not only that, Shen Ming actually took over Holy Emperor Mountain!

Of the four once-powerful sage rulers, only two remained, obediently following behind.

If they had known this would be the outcome, why would they have bothered?

The atmosphere was awkward, and Xuanxiaozi remained silent and vigilant.

Mo Yuan and the others breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the storm.

In this way, everyone starts on the same footing.

The Holy Emperor is truly blessed with good fortune!

"Holy Emperor Wuji, is this storm a setup by the Treasure Realm?" someone asked.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao! How dare you ask such a question? Aren't you going to find your Emperor Ling?" True Man Fusheng recognized who was speaking.

Just like Xuanxiaozi, he switched his allegiance to Shenghuang Mountain.

"You're out. If you know what's good for you, leave now, or don't blame Jianfeng for being ruthless."

Shen Ming's cold gaze swept over them.

In fact, he didn't care about these people's past actions, and he didn't even know about it.

However, ignoring them, or even letting them continue to follow, would be a disservice to the actions of Master Fusheng and the others.

Since Shen Ming intends to act in the name of the Holy Emperor, he must also think in the capacity of the Holy Emperor.

In other words, if Xuanxiaozi and the others do not comply, they will really start a killing spree.

Xuanxiaozi and the others were unwilling, but they dared not speak out against it.

Shen Ming was an exceptional genius, and the intense killing intent emanating from him seemed genuine.

Finally, Xuanxiaozi and the others slunk away.

After the area was cleared, Shen Ming looked at Feng Bao with a solemn expression.

The tornado storm is a test of the Emperor's Ruins; it does not belong to the Treasure Realm and is not under his jurisdiction.

He couldn't cross it directly like he could in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation.

Then the only option is to force our way through and pass the test.

As you enter the storm's range, the wind howls, ice crystals fly like sharp blades, and the entire world is shrouded in a bone-chilling cold.

The others followed suit without hesitation.

Visibility was extremely low in the storm, and even spiritual awareness seemed to sink into the sea.

As they continued forward, the storm grew increasingly violent, the spatial fluctuations became extremely intense, and ice crystals poured down like rain.

Shen Ming used the power of devouring, but quickly realized that this was not a wise choice.

The storm reached its maximum devouring power almost instantly, nearly freezing his hands.

The storm cannot be defeated; one can only rely on one's own strength to weather it.

He raised his hand and waved it, and a small Hengyu Cauldron appeared in his palm.

With a single thought, Hengyu Ding surged in price amidst a storm.

The cauldron trembled slightly, and the surrounding gale suddenly slowed down.

"Heaven and earth are the furnace, and all paths are the fire!"

The Hengyu Cauldron floated in the void, then slowly rotated, with strands of law power intertwining within it.

This was his natal magic weapon, which became even more extraordinary after he became a saint.

The cauldron shimmered with light, and faint thunder and fire rose within, as if it were refining all power that approached it.

Ice crystals rained down, yet they could not penetrate an inch under the cover of the Hengyu Cauldron.

"Isn't the Holy Emperor a sword cultivator?" someone asked, looking at the Hengyu Cauldron with surprise in their voice.

The Hengyu Cauldron hovered above Shen Ming's head, its bronze body slowly rotating, radiating an aura of immense power.

The group followed behind, moving at a very fast pace.

Shen Ming frowned slightly, his gaze deep.

The moment I summoned the Hengyu Cauldron, my mind was subtly drawn in, and I seemed to hear a series of deep echoes in my ears.

The echo contained an ancient and powerful will, like both a summons and a warning.

"Could it be..." Shen Ming murmured softly, the Hengyu Cauldron in his hand trembling slightly.

In an instant, Shen Ming confirmed that the echo came from the Emperor's Ruins.

There seems to be some inexplicable connection between it and Hengyu Ding.

The aura was profound and vast, filled with the majesty of an emperor and the power of immortality.

Seeing Shen Ming's unusual expression, Li Miaozhen asked softly, "What's wrong?"

“I have a bold guess,” Shen Ming said.

Shen Ming comes from the Jiang family, which produced a great emperor, Jiang Hengyu.

Like Shen Ming, after exceeding the limits of the Xuanhuang Continent's cultivation level, he went to the Upper Realm.

Over a long period of time, they gradually lost contact with each other.

Shen Ming had previously inquired about whether there was an imperial family of Emperor Hengyu in the Sixth Realm.

As it turned out, none of the people he asked had ever heard of Emperor Hengyu.

Shen Ming began to doubt whether the Jiang family had really produced such a person.

Of course, Shen Ming couldn't be 100% certain; it might be some kind of illusion created by the ruins, or a forbidden force.

Without realizing it, Shen Ming quickened his pace.

……

At the end of the storm, the crystalline brilliance of the world gradually dissipated, revealing a magnificent ruin.

It was magnificent, with rays of light shining everywhere, and the runes inscribed in the void emitted a pale golden glow.

Di Ling and the others arrived here, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

Thanks to the advantages of having double pupils and arriving early, as well as the considerable price paid along the way.

In return, they were the first to arrive at the Emperor's Ruins, taking the lead.

"We've finally arrived!" The White-Browed Taoist's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement.

"...something's wrong."

Di Ling's expression suddenly changed, and a sharp light flashed in his double pupils.

"what happened?"

"Someone beat us to it and has already entered the Emperor's Ruins." Di Ling's voice was low and cold.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"How is that possible? We were clearly in front the whole time, and we only got here thanks to your double pupil technique, Holy Emperor. Wuji is definitely behind us, so who else could be ahead of us!"

"I don't know! But that person hasn't come out yet! Seal off this area! Don't allow anyone to enter or leave!"
