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

After leaving the Yaochi Holy Land, Shen Ming opened the entrance to the Treasure Realm passage.

The cultivators inside soared into the sky and left at top speed.

However, they did not leave, but stood watching from a distance.

The Fiery God's eyes widened in fury, his gaze like a volcanic eruption, and a sea of ​​fire was expanding invisibly around him, distorting the surrounding void.

Qi Guang of the Heavenly God Academy is like a heavenly sword drawn from its sheath, its sharpness fully revealed.

His eyes were like fallen cold stars, deep and unfathomable, yet faintly revealing a scorching killing intent.

Despite their concerns, the two divine beings would not leave easily, wanting to test Shen Ming's true strength.

First, we need to determine whether Shen Ming dares to leave the Ancient Treasure Realm.

The passage to the ancient treasure realm is closing, and it's unknown when it will reopen.

Shen Ming was able to emerge from the belly of the Void Kun, so it definitely couldn't trap him.

But that means there is no powerful backer behind them, or they are dealing with the Heavenly Emperor and are unable to continue their efforts.

As a result, Shen Ming did not hesitate and came straight out of the Treasure Realm, the Great Luo Immortal Sword emitting a cold, sharp light.

"Shen Ming, hand Li Zibai over to us. We'll settle your matter later," Qi Guang said.

He certainly wouldn't be so magnanimous; he was testing the waters.

If Shen Ming agrees to hand over Li Zibai, then he should ask to go to the Heavenly God Academy again.

They forced Shen Ming to submit step by step!

"My clan's double pupils cannot have died in vain! You must give an explanation!" the Blazing God declared.

If the old emperor hadn't died beforehand, they might have taken action directly.

"Enough with the nonsense, come on." Shen Ming raised the Great Luo Immortal Sword in his hand.

Chi Shen and Qi Guang exchanged a glance.

“Brother Chisheng, Di Ling was born with double pupils and was destined to become a Saint King. It is truly a pity that he died so inexplicably. I am willing to hand this villain over to the Imperial Clan for disposal,” Qi Guang said.

“Jun Luo is a prodigy of the Celestial Race and the chief disciple of the Celestial Palace. Brother Qi has come from afar, so you should do it,” said the Fiery God.

The two divine beings began to defer and decline, each wanting the other to make the first move to test their strength.

"Who dares to attack the Holy Emperor?!"

Just then, an angry shout was heard.

The eldest princess of the Shenyan Dynasty beamed with joy and told Shen Ming that this was her father, the emperor.

It took some time to get here from the Fifth Realm.

The Flame Emperor descended through the air, his face stern, his eyes like two burning suns, intense and profound, his aura irresistible.

His aura was intense and fiery, and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) became distorted and surging under his aura, as if every breath could ignite a prairie fire.

Behind him followed five emperors, all of whom were emperors of the nine great dynasties.

Each figure exuded a majestic and imposing aura, as steady as a mountain.

The five emperors followed behind the Flame Emperor, like an unyielding divine mountain, their auras perfectly matched.

Yan Huang faced Shen Ming, and all the emperors puffed out their chests.

"Welcome back to the throne, Holy Emperor!" A voice, powerful and overwhelming like a torrent, erupted instantly.

The shout was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire void and seemingly even causing the heavens to tremble.

Every emperor's voice was filled with boundless awe and reverence.

All the cultivators present held their breath, a sense of indescribable shock and reverence rising in their hearts.

The unique allure of imperial power can be exhilarating at certain moments.

Even cultivators from the sixth realm couldn't help but feel a stirring in their hearts, sensing an unprecedented sense of holiness and majesty.

The Flame Emperor and the other five emperors are all at the Divine Realm.

Lacking confidence to begin with, Chi Shen and Qi Guang knew the situation was hopeless, so they left without even uttering a harsh word.

However, their refusal to use harsh words also demonstrates their determination not to give up.

Disappointment flashed in Shen Ming's eyes; there was no chance of unleashing the sixth sword strike.

Then, Shen Ming looked at Yan Huang and the others, and then at Li Miaozhen, Mo Yuan, and Fusheng Zhenren beside him.

"Let's go, let's head to the Ancient Holy Emperor's Academy!"

Without further ado or delay, we must finalize the matter of the Holy Emperor in one go.

The Ancient Holy Emperor Academy is a top-tier lineage in the Sixth Realm, located in Tianzhou, and possesses a pure and precious land.

Shen Ming regarded that place as his base, his stronghold in the Sixth Realm.

However, when the group arrived at the Ancient Holy Emperor's Academy in a grand procession, their expressions changed.

The once magnificent Holy Emperor's Palace is no more; it is currently engulfed in flames.

In the sea of ​​fire, the ancient palace was ravaged and broken, and a scorching atmosphere permeated the surroundings.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, especially the Yan Emperor and his entourage from the imperial dynasty, who were furious.

They were even mentally prepared to face resistance from the remnants of the imperial rebellion.

I never expected others to be so ruthless, directly destroying this pure land.

The main reason is the old emperor. If it were only the Emperor Ling lineage that was defeated, the people of the Holy Emperor Academy would not have suffered such a loss.

Elder Bai Mei supports Di Ling, who is the legitimate successor of the Holy Emperor Academy, so there will inevitably be one side that is ostracized.

These people know that Shen Ming has become the new Holy Emperor, so they will definitely try their best to prevent this from happening.

As a result, even the old emperor abandoned his own position and perished at Shen Ming's hands.

The Ancient Holy Emperor Academy was in complete chaos, with everyone living in fear, until people began to plunder the Holy Emperor Academy's treasure vault.

Gradually, it evolved into everyone fearing being left behind, and everyone participated in the scramble.

To cover up his crimes, he set fire to the Holy Emperor's Palace.

"This is no ordinary fire; it is the Heavenly Meteor Divine Fire, capable of burning all spiritual matter. The more concentrated the spiritual matter, the stronger the fire!"

"The Divine Medicine Garden has become a scorched wasteland, and it is impossible to tell whether the divine medicines were looted or also turned into scorched wasteland."

"The Holy Academy's divine scriptures and imperial texts have vanished without a trace!"

"These beasts, they killed the goose that lays the golden eggs, refining the sacred spiritual vein into pills, and now it's just an ordinary spiritual vein."

Emperor Yan was furious and ordered an investigation to find out who was involved and that no one should be let off the hook.

Those who refined the sacred spiritual energy veins into pills are especially guilty of unforgivable crimes!

Spiritual veins are divided into celestial veins, sacred veins, and immortal veins.

The spiritual energy of the Ancient Holy Emperor Academy is not much different from that of the Immortal Vein.

Shen Ming was equally unhappy, but he felt more that it was unexpected yet reasonable.

However, as the Holy Emperor, he naturally cannot let those who commit evil deeds go unpunished.

The fire burned for three days and three nights. Once the Heavenly Meteor Fire was extinguished, the group began to rebuild the Holy Emperor's Academy in a flurry of activity.

It is destined that the former glory can never be reproduced, especially since the Divine Scripture and Imperial Scripture cannot be retrieved, and the soil of the Divine Medicine Garden has lost its spirituality.

Fortunately, Mount Shenghuang is located in Shen Ming's Daluo Palace.

When he took this mountain out and placed it on the spiritual vein, it still met the standards of a top-tier blessed land.

It is more than enough for Shen Ming's personal training ground and practice.

Spiritual veins need thousands of years to recover, and it is also possible to find rare and precious materials.

"As long as there is hope, everything is negotiable." Shen Ming remained optimistic.

After that, he didn't forget there was still one thing to do.

Go settle scores with the Panyue Dynasty. Now that Emperor Yan and the other five emperors are all here, there is no better opportunity.

"It's time to settle accounts among the nine great dynasties!" Shen Ming said.

The six emperors were greatly encouraged. With the Holy Emperor's words, they could all have a legitimate reason to launch their campaign.
