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

Li Miaozhen's long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her face seemed to have been sculpted by the heavens, her skin was as white as snow, and her eyes were clear and deep, like starlight reflected in the depths of a cold pool.

The spider lily between her brows radiated a sacred yet noble glow.

With a slight movement of his lips, a simple sentence conveyed an indescribable and powerful aura.

No one expected her to say that.

The same applies to the Tianchi clan; they launched their attack precisely because they knew Shen Ming wouldn't dare to act recklessly in this situation.

We need to give him a taste of his own medicine and make him lose face.

Moreover, Shen Ming doted on her and readily agreed.

It has to be said that many of the female cultivators present were smitten at this moment, and they didn't know whether to envy Shen Ming or Li Miaozhen.

What a perfect couple!

Only Yunxi knew that Li Miaozhen was actually speaking based on Shen Ming's inner thoughts.

Shen Ming was not one to swallow this insult.

Shen Ming's doting affection stemmed from Li Miaozhen's understanding of his true feelings and her unwavering support for him.

"Pshaw, I would have supported it too if I were in your shoes," Yun Xi thought involuntarily, but quickly shook her head, trying to put the idea out of her mind.

At this moment, the Myriad Manifestations Sealing Heaven Formation was no longer gathering momentum, but rather bursting forth.

"Shen Ming!"

The Fiery God roared, "Do you want to start a war here?!"

"Isn't this what you wanted?" Shen Ming said coldly.

Sensing the pervasive killing intent, they knew Shen Ming was serious.

"Quickly, now!"

At the same time, at the Supreme Immortal Palace, Ren Qianqiu, disguised, perked up.

The Immortal Palace had a clear objective: to take advantage of the chaos and abduct the Undying Phoenix.

With the array plate in hand, Ren Qianqiu led the Immortal Palace in a stealthy operation, infiltrating Mount Daluo.

"Let's bring it on! Let's see who can't handle the situation!"

The Fiery God was furious. He moved the chains in his hands slightly, producing a series of low, metallic scraping sounds.

The three Voidfire Beasts were poised to unleash their power, their dark blue flames surging forth and shattering the void.

"You asked for it!" Blazing God sneered, releasing the chains in his hands. The three Void Flame Beasts roared and soared into the sky, carrying an aura of world destruction.

The first Flame Rift Beast flapped its bone wings, and the ghostly blue flames transformed into a raging inferno that swept in.

As the Flame Rift Beast moved, the array patterns of the Myriad Manifestations Sealing Heaven Array appeared one after another.

Manifestation does not mean rupture; this is the innate power of the Flame Cleaver.

Until a roar that seemed to shatter the stars was unleashed, countless array patterns withstood the impact, and the runes could be seen flashing wildly.

"As expected of the Void Flame Beast!"

Many of the people present today, including masters of formations, felt their scalps tingle at the sight.

The Blazing Flame Beast, disregarding all consequences, broke the formation with brute force, which allowed it to trace back to the origin of the formation's patterns.

The flames erupted even more fiercely from the void around the Blazing Beast, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to become slightly chaotic, and the array patterns to teeter on the verge of collapse.

Just then, a muffled hum erupted from the depths of the formation, and countless runes transformed into a rain of golden sword light, piercing through the body of the Flame Rift Beast from all directions.

With a mournful roar, the Flame Rift Beast's massive body crashed to the ground, transforming into countless fiery afterimages before being completely annihilated.

"Um?!"

Many people didn't understand it, and even laymen felt that it shouldn't be done this way.

"What kind of formation is this?" A formation master frowned, his face full of surprise and doubt.

The Blazing God glanced coldly at the remaining two Blazing Beasts.

The second Flame Rift Beast roared again, its bony wings unfurling and transforming into a rift in the void, instantly disappearing into the formation.

It wanders within the array patterns, attempting to break through from within.

However, this approach is like walking into a trap.

The moment the Flame Rift Beast charged in, the array patterns contracted like a giant net, trapping it within.

Immediately afterwards, countless array powers condensed into light blades, piercing from all directions.

The Flame Rift Beast struggled and roared, even forcibly burning its own essence in an attempt to break free, but ultimately it could not withstand the absolute power of the formation. With a deafening scream, it exploded and turned into nothingness.

"...This isn't right, is it?!"

Now, the array masters from all sides were discussing it animatedly, exchanging frequent spiritual messages.

"How can such array patterns be allowed to exist?"

"How can array patterns with opposing attributes be linked together?"

"My God, who set up this formation? Are they trying to blow us all to smithereens?"

It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.

The Myriad Manifestations Sealing Heaven Formation is like the arm of a madman, ready to explode at any moment.

They all suspected that Shen Ming intended to take advantage of the grand event to annihilate the elite forces of the Sixth Realm in one fell swoop.

The Fiery God's expression darkened slightly, his gaze turning icy as he stared at the remaining third Flame Rift Beast.

With only one left, it could no longer cause any trouble.

However, the Blazing God still clung to a last glimmer of hope.

The Flame Rift Beast shot straight into the center of the formation like a fiery meteor, its terrifying power causing all onlookers to pale in fear.

However, the core power of the great formation finally manifested.

Deep within the formation, a dazzling golden beam of light shot into the sky, piercing straight through the body of the Flame Rift Beast.

With the fall of the three Voidfire Beasts, the sky fell silent.

As the Fiery God gazed at the scene before him, his eyes darkened, and an undisguised anger surfaced on his face.

He clenched his fists, and the flames around his body surged once more.

However, he discovered that this was not the end of it; the formation was poised to unleash its power and was ready to deal with them.

"Your Majesty, you have gone too far."

Before the sound faded, the sky split open, and a colossal figure descended from the heavens, like an unparalleled deity descending from beyond.

He was draped in a pale gold robe, surrounded by runes. Every step he took left a Daoist afterimage in the void, as if time and space stood still beneath his feet.

The Divine Lord of the Heavenly God Academy!

His figure gradually rose higher, as if merging with heaven and earth, majestic like a towering mountain, his gaze looking down upon all living beings with an unshakeable majesty.

"The power of the divine elephant! A divine technique innate to the Celestial Race!"

"This is clearly biased; they weren't showing up before, but now they're suddenly appearing."

"The Heavenly God Academy has always had a grudge against Shen Ming."

Almost simultaneously, a voice emanated from the depths of the formation. The voice was deep, yet contained an incomparably sharp will, like a sword drawn from its sheath, its cold light piercing straight to the heart.

"My Lord, you are still as hypocritical as ever."

As the words fell, the figure of a middle-aged man slowly appeared.

His temperament was like that of a pine tree in the cold frost and snow, with an unassailable aloofness between his brows and eyes.

His arrival caused a slight tremor in the eyes of countless people present, and a sharp edge suddenly appeared in the oppressive atmosphere.

"Sword God, Zhang Juezhi!" someone in the crowd exclaimed, their voice filled with awe and disbelief.

Zhang Juezhi was once Shen Ming's protector.

The Sword Palace, where they originally lived, was persecuted by the Heavenly God Palace.

The Divine Lord is the master of the Heavenly God Palace.

Zhang Juezhi looked up at the Divine Lord, his gaze as cold as lightning as he stared directly at him.

"The grudges between us will be settled here today," Zhang Juezhi said.

"That's perfect." The deity couldn't have been happier.

In a battle between two divine realms, Shen Ming would definitely not use the grand formation.

Because it's easy to confuse friend and foe, potentially affecting the Sword God himself, this is an array that cannot distinguish between friend and foe.

"Shen Ming, activate the great formation with all your might, there's no need to distinguish between you and me."

As a result, a single sentence from Sword God Zhang Juezhi made everyone's expression change.
