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

No, why!

The skeleton stood there, stunned. He couldn't remember who he was, but he could remember the eeriness and ominousness of this trial path.

Even assuming the forbidden power fails, this immortal pool has already been polluted over the years.

The Immortal Pool has long since turned into a stinking ditch; how did this young man manage to taste the immortal radiance from it?!

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ming took a Heaven-Mending Pill, and combined with the Immortal Pool, his divine fire boiled and his magical power surged.

"It's time to undergo tribulation again."

Shen Ming muttered to himself.

He is currently in a state where he can advance to the eighth level of the Sovereign Realm, which is the mid-stage of the Divine Fire Realm.

But clearly, this is not suitable for the forbidden zone of life.

"Senior, please don't take offense at my earlier wariness towards you. You are a good person, and I will try my best to get you out of here."

Then, Shen Ming looked at the puppet very seriously.

Am I a good person?!

The skeleton felt insulted and even thought that Shen Ming was deliberately humiliating him.

Fortunately, it was just a skeleton, so you couldn't tell if it was happy or angry, and it wouldn't reveal its inner thoughts.

"No need for thanks. If you can pass the trial, I can also get out of trouble smoothly."

As the skeleton spoke, it led Shen Ming to the third level.

Recalling the events of the third level, the skeleton felt confident this time.

There are no shortcuts in this challenge; you have to face it head-on.

There will be a dark rabbit here with glowing red eyes. It is actually a Taiyin Jade Rabbit and is in charge of testing here.

They were contaminated by the forbidden zone of life and became dark creatures, which were extremely terrifying.

He was seriously injured because of this dark rabbit, which caused him to fail in later levels.

After turning a corner, a bare tree appeared ahead, with only two withered yellow leaves remaining.

"There's a rabbit hole under the tree, where the Lunar Jade Rabbit lives. Don't worry, it will adjust its strength according to the challenger's cultivation level," the skeleton said.

In fact, a contaminated Yutu (Jade Rabbit) will launch indiscriminate attacks.

Even those at the peak of the Divine Realm couldn't withstand it, and this young man before them was only at the Human Realm; he was doomed!

"clear."

Shen Ming strode towards the withered tree, waiting for the Lunar Jade Rabbit to emerge.

The dark rabbit hole was like an abyss, so thick that even light couldn't get in.

As Shen Ming got closer and closer to the rabbit hole, the skeleton couldn't contain himself any longer.

The Dark Rabbit will definitely attack when it's within ten steps.

Ten steps, nine steps...

Five steps, four steps...

There was still no movement from the rabbit hole, and even Shen Ming frowned deeply.

Just then, darkness surged, and a flash of red light streaked past.

The skeleton felt a shiver run through its soul, recalling the fear of being dominated by the rabbit years ago.

Those were the rabbit's blood-red eyes.

The dark rabbit is still down there!

The skeleton stared intently, as if it could already see itself re-entering the cycle of reincarnation.

As a result, the dark rabbit did not come out; instead, a rustling sound was heard, and something was thrown out from inside.

Upon closer inspection, it was a carrot!

Of course, this is not an ordinary carrot.

Instead, it was a fairy vine, crystal clear throughout, as if carved from glass, emitting a faint, ethereal blue light.

The roots are thick and the surface is covered with fine patterns, like clouds in the sky, changing color with the movement of light and shadow.

A semi-divine herb, according to legend, can be refined into an elixir of immortality that prolongs life and allows one to live a carefree life, free from the suffering of birth and death.

The skeleton is still waiting, but it's destined that the rabbit will never appear again.

What is this? Surrender and lose half?

The original level design was the same: defeat the Taiyin Jade Rabbit to obtain a semi-immortal medicine.

But it had already turned into a dark rabbit.

Little did people know that without this change, Shen Ming might have faced a truly intense test.

"Has it been approved?"

Shen Ming held the carrot in one hand, showing no excitement despite it being a semi-divine medicine.

There's nothing I can do; my talent is just too good. I haven't taken any pills or elixirs along the way.

This thing can only be sold to Immortal Source.

"Yes, it is."

The skeleton stammered, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Even if he was slow to realize, it wasn't the Trial Path that was wrong, but this boy.

"Are you human?" the skeleton asked instinctively.

Shen Ming frowned and looked over.

"No, I mean, are you human?" the skeleton changed his tune.

"Yes."

Shen Ming didn't bother arguing with this pitiful senior.

The next two stages were very different.

The fourth level is a dilapidated temple, where you need to sacrifice your own life essence, testing your spirit of sacrifice.

Because of the forbidden zone, the temple became insatiable and constantly sucked blood.

The skeleton didn't tell Shen Ming this, instead luring him into the temple.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Minggang went in, he cut his palm.

The moment that drop of blood touched the temple floor, the entire temple shattered into pieces.

A single drop of blood seemed to possess immense weight, instantly crushing the indescribable entity into dust.

Shen Ming walked out unharmed and retrieved a battle suit.

"I'll eat anyone who's human!" The skeleton was convinced and dared not plot any further, obediently leading him through the challenges.

"This is the final challenge."

At the end of the path of trials lies a strange sea of ​​light.

"It tests your state of mind; once you enter, you will be affected by the illusion."

The illusionary realm is no less daunting than the inner demons that haunt the path to immortality. I failed at this very trial back then, and when I emerged, all that remained was a skeleton.

The skeleton told him the truth, and he dared not have any expectations.

"An illusion? Is it a real illusion?" Shen Ming asked.

"Are there any other unorthodox illusions?" The skeleton was somewhat confused.

Do you know about the Illusionary Prison?

Shen Ming once thought he could ignore all illusions, but he ended up stumbling in the Black Prison.

The skeleton shook his head; he remembered nothing outside the Path of Trials.

In the world of swords, Jian Li is torn.

The reason why the Illusionary Prison was effective was that it differed from the Illusionary Realm by only one character, which made Shen Ming less resolute.

As a result, Shen Ming's confidence has been shaken, and given the seemingly convincing words of the skeleton, he is likely to be affected by the illusion again.

Needless to say, Shen Ming in the illusion will enter a state of unconsciousness.

"If we are allowed to be influenced by illusions in the future, the world-destroying power will risk getting out of control."

Thinking of this, Jian Li said, "Illusionary Prison is not a completely illusory technique, but rather it uses the Order God Chain to launch a dual attack on your mind and body, which is why it makes you waver. However, with your innate holy body and supreme Dao embryo, you still cannot ignore any illusion."

Jian Li was filled with apprehension, worried that she would be wiped out by the Heavenly Dao at any moment.

Fortunately, that kind of thing didn't happen. Shen Ming nodded in agreement, his face full of confidence and certainty.

"Jian Li, what were your last words just now?"

"Ignore any illusions?"

"No, the sentence before that."

"Innate Sacred Body, Supreme Dao Embryo?" Jian Li realized that this guy was teasing her.

In the past, whenever Shen Ming boasted about himself like this, Jian Li would always pour cold water on his enthusiasm.

Hearing Jian Li say these words so seriously today, Shen Ming naturally wanted to hear them again.
