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

Chapter 508 An Unexpected Encounter with an Old Friend! The Fifth Realm has the Martial King's Mansion, the War King's Mansion, the Overlord King's Mansion, and the Hero King's Mansion, etc., which belong to different dynasties.

It is a place that cultivators in the lower three realms dream of.

At this moment, Shen Ming happened to pass through Yanzhou, where the Divine Flame Dynasty was located, and the War King's Mansion was located there.

Upon learning that Shen Ming was nearby, the War King wanted to invite him over to give a martial arts lecture.

On the day Panhuang ascended the throne, all saints paid homage, and all emperors revered him. This was common knowledge in the Fifth Realm.

In this Fifth Realm where imperial power is at its zenith, everyone believes that Shen Ming is the one destined for Heaven.

Shen Ming thought about it and agreed.

Of all the dynasties, the Divine Flame Dynasty is the one that suits my taste the best.

We still have to give them face.

So he and the eldest princess arrived at the Crimson Plain where the War King's Palace was located.

Upon closer inspection, this grassland is no ordinary place.

Dark red veins faintly appeared on each blade of grass, and occasionally sparks would leap out from them.

The entire grassland was scorching hot, and it was the site where the dynasty stationed its troops.

In the very center of the grassland, a magnificent city stands majestically at the edge of the plain.

The heavy battle flag fluttered in the wind, with the character 'war' embroidered on it like burning flames.

As soon as they approached the city, Princess Fire Phoenix couldn't wait to fly out, like a fire spirit bird.

Her skin was as white as jade, yet it glowed with a soft, warm light in the sunlight, complementing her fiery attire.

"Senior Brother Shen Ming! It's so good to see you again!"

Princess Fire Phoenix was passionate, but upon seeing the Eldest Princess, she immediately revealed hostility and wariness.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Shen Ming was in a great mood when he saw an acquaintance.

He met Princess Fire Phoenix when he was a King-level Hunter, which also marked the beginning of his connection with the Divine Flame Dynasty.

He was given the title of Little Ming King by Princess Fire Phoenix.

Now, Princess Fire Phoenix has become a great contributor to the Divine Flame Dynasty, securing immense national fortune for the dynasty.

Princess Fire Phoenix has reached the King Realm in cultivation and is currently undergoing training at the War King's Mansion.

However, she couldn't be happy; without comparison, there's no hurt.

"Compared to Senior Brother Shen Ming, he's far inferior. It probably took less than a year for him to reach the Saint Realm!" Princess Fire Phoenix said.

"Welcome, Holy Emperor!"

A middle-aged man immediately emerged from the city, clad in dark gold armor.

He was none other than the War King of the Divine Flame Dynasty, the Iron-Blooded Lord of the Divine Flame Dynasty, renowned for his formidable reputation.

"Please examine it, Your Majesty!"

At the War King's command, a thunderous commotion erupted throughout the city.

The soldiers of the War King's Mansion were already fully equipped and assembled at the training ground.

The armor reflected the blazing sunlight, and the sight of swords and spears was like a forest, with a murderous aura soaring to the sky.

The so-called "military review" was simply to have Shen Ming inspect the troops.

The Divine Flame Dynasty truly treated Shen Ming as a holy emperor.

At the War King's command, the army marched into the sky in unison.

A raging inferno erupted beneath their feet, instantly stirring up the winds and clouds between heaven and earth. The flames surged like a torrent, turning the entire land into a crimson inferno.

Simultaneously, the battle formation was activated, the array diagram rose up, and the blazing runes intertwined and took shape in the air, condensing into colossal figures.

Flame runes swirled and rose, transforming into a burning divine weapon.

Shen Ming's gaze shifted slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Excellent, truly a battle-hardened army!" He stood on high and spoke loudly.

Countless soldiers of the War King's Palace clenched their fists, the blazing firelight dancing in their eyes.

They don't care much about praise from other people.

But this is the Holy Emperor, the ruler of heaven and earth!

Meanwhile, in War King City, not everyone in the city is a soldier; there are also many ordinary people.

There were visiting monks as well as local residents.

Among them were people who knew Shen Ming.

Ling Chuanxi and Ling Chuanyuan are siblings.

These were the companions Shen Ming met on the battlefield outside the realm when he entered the Middle Three Realms.

Looking at Shen Ming, who was surrounded by everyone like a star, his eyes were filled with shock and complex emotions.

"Brother, it really is him!"

Ling Chuanxi's hairstyle remained unchanged, with neat and fine strands of hair falling across her forehead, adding to her gentle and obedient appearance.

Her brother, Ling Chuanyuan, moved his lips, but did not utter a single word.

Even before today, the two siblings had heard the name Shen Ming repeatedly, but they weren't entirely sure if it was the same person.

Even now, seeing that face with my own eyes, I can't forget it after just one look.

Interestingly, at that time, Shen Ming was all alone and said that he wanted to take up the post of Little Ming King of the Divine Flame Dynasty.

The others in his group didn't believe him, thinking he was just trying to attract attention.

As a result, Shen Ming is no longer satisfied with being Little Ming King and has become the Holy Emperor.

If the other members of the team were here, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

"Brother, let's go talk to him," Ling Chuanxi said.

“I’m not going! I haven’t even spoken to him.” Ling Chuanyuan was aloof by nature, and at the time he wasn’t targeting Shen Ming, nor had he spoken to anyone else.

Shen Ming's younger sister, Ling Chuanxi, expressed her support when Shen Ming was ridiculed by others.

Because of this, Ling Chuanxi thought about the past.

“Reality isn’t a story; it doesn’t have so many clichéd plots. A fallen youth who becomes a revered Holy Emperor might remember your kindness, or he might have already forgotten you,” Ling Chuanyuan said.

Arrogant people often have a strong sense of shame.

Ling Chuanxi refused to go over because she was afraid of being rejected.

Ling Chuanxi felt that Shen Ming was not that kind of person.

However, since her brother insisted, she couldn't say anything.

Half an hour later, the drill at the War King's Palace ended, and the soldiers began to retreat back into the city in an orderly manner.

Countless array diagrams and runes gradually dimmed in the air, then turned into specks of starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The intense fighting spirit receded like the tide, replaced by a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

"Ok?"

Shen Ming didn't expect it to end like this; he was hoping to say a few more words and share his cultivation insights.

Jian Li felt fortunate for the War King's Mansion; if they had actually listened to Shen Ming's martial arts insights, who knows what would have happened.

Ok?

Suddenly, Shen Ming noticed a familiar figure in the city and thought to himself how coincidental it was.

Ling Chuanxi walked through the city, still troubled.

Suddenly, a person fell from the sky, catching Ling Chuanxi off guard, and she crashed into him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Being unfamiliar with the place and coming from the lower realm, Ling Chuanxi didn't dare to cause trouble and quickly apologized.

Looking up, he was stunned, his lips parted slightly, and then he let out a soft gasp.

"Shen...Shen Ming?"

"Sister! You should call me Holy Emperor!" Ling Chuanyuan hurriedly ran over to correct his sister's form of address.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Your Majesty," Ling Chuanxi said, correcting herself.

"Just call me Shen Ming."

Shen Ming corrected him, then asked curiously, "Is it just the two of you siblings? Where are the others?"

"We thought we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket, so we went to different princely residences. Only the two of us siblings came to the Zhan Prince's residence," Ling Chuanyuan said.

"Um, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shen Ming noticed that the two siblings were having trouble and took the initiative to speak up.

Otherwise, given Ling Chuanyuan's personality, he wouldn't dare say it even to his face.
