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

"The Holy Emperor is mighty! No wonder he is ranked number one on the list of all gods!"

"He's unharmed even after being hit by the Blood God Needle, he must be some reincarnation of a Celestial Emperor."

"Charge! Charge! Here I come, ruins!"

Seeing Elder Bai Mei flee in disarray, everyone was excited and somewhat impatient.

However, they suppressed their restless hearts and waited for Shen Ming's instructions.

Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen entered the ruins hand in hand before the others took action and followed behind.

The ruins were vast, and everyone who entered dispersed in an unspoken agreement.

Ignoring everyone else, the moment Shen Ming entered the ruins, the inexplicable feeling in front of him became clearer, like an invisible thread connecting him closely to a certain part of the ruins.

……

Elder Bai Mei found Di Ling deep within the ruins, only to find him locked in a standoff with a woman in palace attire.

Before the massive bronze gate, a woman's slender hand lightly touched the door, as if searching for some kind of restriction.

Di Ling stood quietly in front of her, a meaningful smile on his lips.

A golden light suddenly appeared in the void.

This radiant imprint exuded a vast and powerful aura, resembling a celestial monument, with layers of shimmering light spreading outwards.

Sacred Heart Heavenly Seal!

Beneath the Heavenly Seal, the woman in palace attire stood as if overlooking a colossal mountain, as if everything between heaven and earth was enveloped by that golden seal.

Her once cold and beautiful face was now pale, and a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes.

"Is she the one who beat us to it? Why haven't you killed her yet?" Elder White Eyebrows asked.

“No rush,” Di Ling said calmly, his gaze shifting slightly.

"She knows many secrets about the ruins and possesses numerous treasures. Aren't you intercepting other people outside?"

“It’s just me left.” Elder Bai Mei’s face was ashen, his tone icy. “They will catch up soon. I’ll deal with her myself and directly search her soul; it’ll be faster.”

After saying that, Elder Bai Mei produced a Blood God Needle in his hand.

Di Ling's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he hissed, "Insolence! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"..."

Elder Bai Mei was taken aback, and then he understood what Di Ling was about to do.

"So many people fought for you for a quarter of an hour, and you used it to do this?!" Elder Bai Mei's pent-up dissatisfaction finally erupted, his tone tinged with anger.

"You couldn't stop that person; it's your incompetence that has failed the Emperor's grace." Di Ling's gaze was icy, and his words were like knives.

Elder Bai Mei was speechless and choked with sobs. Was this the Holy Emperor he had chosen?

"I can't control that much."

Elder Bai Mei insisted on throwing out the Blood God Needle.

Di Ling snorted coldly, his eyes suddenly brightening, two streams of light swirling like vortexes, illuminating the void with extraordinary beauty.

Wherever the gaze falls, the thrown Blood God Needle undergoes changes in light and shadow, twisting and deforming.

"what?"

Elder Bai Mei was greatly surprised, not expecting that Di Ling's pupil technique had reached this level.

"There must be no next time," Di Ling said coldly.

Elder Bai Mei secretly compared Di Ling and Shen Ming, and realized that it was not impossible.

Perhaps, Di Ling really can make a comeback from a desperate situation.

"You heard it too, time is limited, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Di Ling looked across at the other side and said coldly, "Open the bronze door, and we'll enter together."

Yunxi's expression was solemn. She was focused on opening the bronze door, and in a moment of carelessness, she allowed the other party to unleash the Sacred Heart Seal.

The Heavenly Seal possessed power no less than that of the Human Emperor's Seal, causing her great discomfort.

"The person you were talking about just now is Shen Ming, right?"

Yunxi's heart stirred, and she asked.

Di Ling frowned, wondering what she was going to say.

"My name is Yun Xi. I come from the lower realm. Coincidentally, Shen Ming and I come from the same world. I am also his fiancée."

Upon hearing this, Di Ling's face instantly turned ashen.

He stared at Yunxi with uncontrollable rage, a series of thoughts flashing through his mind, his anger barely contained.

What kind of magic does Shen Ming possess that makes all these peerless beauties revolve around him?! The Heaven-Mending Saintess Li Miaozhen, Wanwan from the Supreme Immortal Palace... and now even the woman before him is no exception.

"You're the new disciple of the Heavenly Intercepting Sect Master? You and your master are about to get married," Elder White Eyebrows said.

“I never said I was still his fiancée.”

Yunxi added slowly and deliberately.

"If that's the case, then don't blame me."

Di Ling's face was cold, and his eyes surged with killing intent like a tide.

The Sacred Heart Seal suddenly erupted, and the atmosphere between heaven and earth seemed to freeze.

Beneath the golden seal, space distorted as if scorched by flames, and everything around began to collapse toward the center of the golden seal!

Golden ripples spread outwards in concentric circles, and visible divine soul power intertwined and entwined like chains, sweeping in from all directions.

Yunxi looked up at the golden light sweeping towards her, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

"You're the one I've been waiting for!"

When the Sacred Heart Heavenly Seal is unleashed at full power, it is difficult to control it freely, especially at the critical moment when there will be a brief period of disorder. This disorder is exactly what she wants!

Yunxi formed a hand seal, and a faint light emerged from between her brows, transforming into a mirror-like phantom that floated in front of her.

Although the reflection in the mirror was as thin as a cicada's wing, it seemed to be able to reflect the heavens and the earth, instantly reflecting the brilliance of the golden seal.

"The Heaven-Severing Mirror!" Di Ling's gaze sharpened, and he instantly realized something was wrong.

The mirror image trembled slightly, and the golden light refracted back, shooting straight towards the center of the golden seal.

With a deafening roar, the golden seal crumbled.

Yunxi sneered, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes: "Di Ling, is it? Shen Ming and I are acquaintances. With your mindset, you're no match for him."

When you see him in a moment, just kneel down and beg for mercy; he might let you go.

As she spoke, Yunxi flashed and was about to enter the bronze door.

Just then, Elder White Eyebrows suddenly moved!

His eyes instantly turned cold and sharp. With a flick of his sleeve, a blinding beam of blood-red light shot out from his palm.

It was the Blood God Needle, which had been brewing for a long time.

Even Yunxi, who felt the needle, turned pale.

Having lived two lives, she still has no way to neutralize the Blood God Needle!

The Blood God Needle was like an arrow piercing the sky, its chilling aura penetrating to the bone, as if it would pierce through her soul completely in the next instant!

In that life-or-death moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the void, moving so fast it seemed to have traversed space itself.

His figure stood like a barrier, firmly blocking Yunxi's path!

"puff!"

The Blood God Needle didn't stop, piercing deeply into the attacker's back.

"Shen Ming?!" Yunxi exclaimed in surprise when she saw who it was, her eyes filled with disbelief.

It was so sudden; she was filled with anxiety, her mind preoccupied with how to save him.

The Blood God Needle is so powerful that there's no time to think about it.

Without thinking, she took out a semi-immortal herb from her storage bag.

"Take it quickly!"

"It's nothing, just a needle," Shen Ming waved his hand.

"Still trying to be tough."

Yunxi was so anxious that she tried to pull out the Blood God Needle from Shen Ming's back, but as soon as her hand touched it, she felt a sharp pain, as if her brain was about to split open.

She couldn't imagine what kind of pain Shen Ming was enduring.
