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

Within the sacred domain, sword energy and blade light intertwined, and dazzling brilliance soared into the sky like thunder.

Shen Ming and Di Ling seemed like two gods descended from the heavens.

The Sky-Splitting Blade clashed with the Great Luo Sword, causing the surrounding void to tremble violently. Sword energy and blade wind swept outwards like a monstrous wave.

Shen Ming's figure flashed by like lightning, and wherever his sword pointed, the void was torn apart by the invisible sword intent, almost splitting the Holy Domain in two.

Di Ling moved with the speed of a dragon, and each swing of the Sky-Splitting Blade carried an overwhelming force, causing the air to vibrate as if it were about to collapse completely under its power.

The battle was like two colossal waves colliding, causing the surrounding void to collapse continuously.

Outside the sacred domain, the powerful onlookers stared intently at the endless radiance and the shattered void.

The duel between these two contemporary saints was breathtaking.

Many sacred places built upon longevity feel ashamed of themselves.

Even the powerful beings at the Divine Realm outside the Treasure Realm felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Either of them, if they were to advance to the Divine Realm, would hold a dominant position and threaten the other.

Each clash of sword light and blade aura was like a falling star, its unstoppable power sending shivers down their spines.

"Emperor Ling is one thing, but Shen Ming is completely incomprehensible." A powerful figure in the Divine Realm murmured to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

Within the Treasure Realm, a young cultivator, also at the Saint Realm, was filled with admiration and respect.

"I doubt I'll ever reach that level in my lifetime."

"One is sixty-six years old, and the other looks like he's not even twenty?"

"Did they start cultivating from the womb? How could they reach such an unfathomable level at such a young age?"

Li Miaozhen and Yunxi ran outside the ruins and stood side by side, staring intently into the Holy Domain.

"Stable!!"

The two men could see that Shen Ming was gradually gaining the upper hand in his duel with Di Ling, his sword energy was like a rainbow, and his aura was overwhelming.

Li Miaozhen slightly raised the corners of her lips, her gentle smile like a spring breeze, carrying a hint of tender pride.

Yunxi's gaze lingered on Shen Ming for a moment, and for some reason, a complex emotion arose in her eyes.

Suddenly, their eyes met, and they both paused for a moment.

The atmosphere was somewhat subtle and awkward.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Shen Mingzhen has truly found the other shore flower for you."

Yunxi spoke first, somewhat surprised.

When they parted ways, Li Miao was truly cursed with the inescapable hell.

Yunxi didn't want to see Shen Ming fall into depravity, so she lied to him, saying that a spider lily was about to be born in the Central Region.

In fact, she only knew it was a semi-divine medicine, not the other shore flower.

"Could it be that my words become law?" Yunxi asked thoughtfully, her expression playful and adorable.

"Ah."

Li Miaozhen responded softly, her eyes slightly darting away.

This surprised Yunxi somewhat.

"Congratulations on becoming fellow Daoists with Shen Ming." Yun Xi smiled gracefully, trying to appear generous, but for some reason, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

A blush crept onto Li Miaozhen's pretty face, and she whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Huh?" Yunxi wondered if she had misheard.

Li Miaozhen was too embarrassed to speak, but Yunxi was straightforward and asked, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

Li Miaozhen hesitated before finally expressing her meaning.

It turns out that when Li Miaozhen appeared in Shen Ming's life, she was engaged to Yun Xi.

Regardless of the story behind it, she always seemed like a third party.

Li Miaozhen even felt that Shen Ming chose her out of pity.

“If I didn’t have the Avici Hell, he wouldn’t have felt guilty, and perhaps this day wouldn’t have come,” Li Miaozhen said.

“Miss Li, you are completely wrong. Shen Ming will not be with someone out of pity.”

Yunxi said, "You can't have that idea. You'll be bullied in the future."

Li Miaozhen nodded. When she was with Shen Ming, she could indeed feel Shen Ming's heartfelt love.

But once they're apart, she can't help but think about that.

In comparison, she was quite envious of Yunxi's situation.

Why should I comfort her? Little did she know, Yunxi was filled with bitterness, even suspecting that the person in front of her was deliberately in love with her to the point of misery.

"Well, if you and Shen Ming could rekindle your romance, I wouldn't mind," Li Miaozhen suddenly said, her words sure to be surprising.

Yunxi almost jumped up on the spot, saying, "Even if I, Yunxi, jump off the Cliff of Despair and die in the forbidden zone of life, I would rather not share a husband with another man!"

Li Miaozhen was surprised by her strong reaction and breathed a sigh of relief.

That would be the best possible scenario.

After her initial excitement, Yunxi felt a strange mix of emotions.

Before she could figure it out, a deafening roar of exclamations erupted.

In the incomplete Holy Domain, Shen Ming's sword light once again cleaved through the void, thrusting fiercely towards Di Ling's chest.

Di Ling tried his best to avoid the sharp edge, but still took the hit.

The sword, sharp as lightning, struck Di Ling's right arm, instantly shattering his seemingly indestructible defense.

With a sharp pain, Di Ling's right hand fell limp, unable to control the sacred weapon longsword any longer.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the void of the sacred realm crimson.

"Won!"

Li Miaozhen and Yun Xi's gazes suddenly sharpened, and then their eyes widened.

"He actually...did it."

This happened suddenly, but it's understandable in the ever-changing battle.

Di Ling's face instantly darkened, and his eyes blazed with boundless rage and murderous intent.

Of all the words I could say, only one sentence remains.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"

His double pupils prevented him from seeing through things, causing his combat power to plummet.

The Holy Domain was no match for Shen Ming's mobile sword domain.

The Emperor's Bones were no match for the Great Luo Immortal Sword.

He was defeated in almost every aspect.

"Next time, I will surely kill you!" Di Ling had no choice but to accept defeat.

"Next time? You think you'll have a next time?" Shen Ming's eyes revealed a strange look.

You want to kill me? Not so easy!

Di Ling condensed the incomplete Holy Domain into a Heavenly Seal, and the vitality within his body rapidly recovered. The power he had lost and the blood he had lost were replenished almost instantly.

If his double pupils hadn't been injured and his imperial bones hadn't been shattered, he could have fought again.

“Come, let’s see how you kill me,” Di Ling said.

The Heavenly Seal not only reflected between his eyebrows, but also radiated platinum light from his heart area.

"Sacred Heart! Heavenly Seal!"

Jian Li told Shen Ming that for a long time to come, Di Ling would have an inexhaustible source of vitality.

As long as Di Ling doesn't fight, he can easily escape.

The divine realm giants of the Tianchi clan are already waiting, ready to guide them at any time!

Shen Ming raised an eyebrow, and Di Ling's strong will to survive also made his killing intent boil!

"You can talk about it once you get out!" He was about to unleash his devouring power.

Di Ling raised his left hand, and a ray of ancient light rose from the depths of the void.

That radiance seemed to contain the aura of ancient times, bearing mottled traces of history, like a peerless divine weapon that emerged from the primordial wilderness.

"The Panhuang Time Sword!"

Di Ling did not intend to fight again with his sword. Instead, the Panhuang Years Sword transformed into a human form, blocking the way between him and Shen Ming.
