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

"A whole set, you're too kind."

Shen Ming was greatly surprised. He knew very little about the era in which the Heavenly Court was located, and did not know who the Galactic Emperor was.

In fact, there is no history in any of the myriad worlds.

Shen Ming didn't even know what major events had occurred in the current era.

He's not the only one; in this world that values ​​strength above all else, everyone looks forward and focuses on the present.

The next moment, the dazzling and magnificent scene vanished.

Shen Ming returned to this trial path in the forbidden zone of life.

However, this path of trials has been completely closed.

The rewards from the Emperor's legacy are unique; no other person will succeed in this challenge.

In other words, Shen Ming was the first person to complete the Path of Trials two eras later.

The main reason is that it's a forbidden zone for life; no one dares to enter casually, and those who do will end up like that skeleton.

In that sense, it's quite a pity that this skeleton senior fell at the last level.

“Senior, please enter the cycle of reincarnation,” Shen Ming said.

The utterly despondent skeleton thought to himself, "There's no such thing as reincarnation; it's all a lie."

At this moment, he will forever be a slave to the forbidden zone of life.

To everyone's surprise, a portal actually appeared in the skull's blue flame eyes.

"Can I really be free?! This doesn't make sense."

The skeleton was both surprised and delighted, but seeing Shen Ming's sincere gaze, it understood.

This must be some extraordinary being, perhaps a reincarnation of a Celestial King.

Although his cultivation level was not high, he possessed great supernatural powers.

Just now, she was playing along because she felt sorry for me, but now she's not holding it against me and is starting the cycle of reincarnation for me.

Damn me!

The skeleton felt an overwhelming sense of guilt and couldn't wait to take a step forward, wanting to find release.

But at this very moment, above the restricted area.

A pitch-black crack slowly appeared. Spatial cracks are commonplace in forbidden zones of life, but this crack was different.

There was no light in the crack, only endless darkness, as if it led to an abyss in another dimension.

From the depths of the abyss, a massive black gate slowly emerged.

The entire gate is made of an unknown metal.

The gate opened, and a wave of dark mist surged out, instantly covering most of the restricted area.

"My liberation! My liberation!"

The skeleton discovered that its path of reincarnation had come into contact with the mist and immediately disappeared.

"Damn forbidden zone! Damn ominous!"

The skeleton lunged madly toward the crack.

Suddenly, a dark figure slowly emerged from the depths of the gate.

It was an unparalleled being, its entire body enveloped in a layer of flowing, pitch-black matter.

His body was massive and twisted, every inch of his skin seemingly containing a terrifying power that did not belong to this world.

His head was bowed, and his eyes were two bright red spots, like burning hellfire.

"The Lord of the Forbidden Zone." Jian Li's voice trembled.

"What?! Such a sudden and intense attack?"

Shen Ming was somewhat flustered; this was no ordinary forbidden creature.

"Tianpeng, I thought you had already vanished. You're still not giving up and want to fight again."

This forbidden being can actually speak.

His voice was low and hoarse, like countless souls crying out in the abyss.

Shen Ming noticed that the area had become lively and bustling because of his presence.

One after another, terrifying creatures appeared ahead, their destination unknown.

A dark rabbit brandished a sharp knife at him, demanding something from him.

At the same time, Shen Ming sensed that the treasure he had just obtained was acting strangely.

"This forbidden zone exists precisely to obliterate the legacy of the Galactic Emperor?!"

At this moment, the terrifying creature slowly raised its hand, and the surrounding black mist surged towards it as if it were alive, condensing into a jet-black longsword.

"You have no hope; death is your end."

When the sword struck, the sky suddenly darkened.

"Hurry up and think of a solution!" Jian Li urged.

"I?"

Although Shen Ming claimed that returning to the penalty area was like coming home, that was because he hadn't been attacked in the penalty area the previous two times.

He once thought that the creatures in the forbidden zone of life had a good impression of him.

Now that we've encountered this master of the penalty area, there's really nothing we can do.

This person was stronger than any Dao Lord he had ever encountered; in the blink of an eye, he could be reduced to ashes.

The black longsword fell, and Shen Ming was powerless to resist.

"The Heavenly Canopy Technique! The River-Suppressing Stone Tablet has also transformed into light within your body, precisely to help you cope with this crisis. You can do it!" Jian Li, quick-witted, immediately spoke up.

"correct."

Shen Ming slapped his thigh, thinking that the Great Emperor knew that once the inheritance was revealed, he would seek out such an existence, so he must have kept something in reserve.

Just as the black longsword was about to fall, at the critical moment, he activated the Eternal Thought.

At the same time, a blazing divine light erupted from Shen Ming's body.

The river-suppressing stone tablet, which had originally been reduced to countless fragments, roared out, and the dazzling starry river that had been seen earlier soared into the sky.

In an instant, it was as if two completely different worlds collided.

"when!"

A distant bell tolled, echoing through the heavens and earth, seemingly from ancient times, carrying an irresistible majesty.

It was the sound of the Heavenly Bell. As the bell resounded, the black mist seemed to be subjected to a devastating impact, and instantly dissipated.

Next came the Heavenly Ruler, which shone brightly in Shen Ming's hand and slashed fiercely at the opponent's body.

As the divine ruler fell, a long crack appeared in the void, and the dark defenses surrounding the supreme being's body were forcibly torn apart.

It landed precisely where the black longsword had struck, its blade flashing like a meteor falling to the ground.

The two collided, producing a deafening roar.

Although the jet-black longsword was powerful, it stalled slightly before the divine ruler and could not break through completely.

"Suppression!"

Shen Ming let out a low shout, lifted the stone tablet with both hands, and pressed it down on the Lord of the Forbidden Zone with immense power.

The river-suppressing stone tablet slowly descended, causing the heavens and earth to tremble and the void to crack.

"This is wrong!"

This was something the master of the penalty area never expected.

The forbidden zone covers the path of trials, which has long since completely distorted it, severing the legacy of the Galactic Emperor Fei Peng.

For some reason, someone actually managed to pass through the impossible Trial Path today.

It's worth noting that all six trials on the Path of Trials are shrouded in mystery and quirky in nature.

Even the master of the penalty area might not be able to get past it.

The alarmed Lord of the forbidden zone thought it was Tianpeng's fearless struggle after countless years.

Now it seems that's not the case.

Even if Tianpeng himself came, the River-Suppressing Stele wouldn't have such power.

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone attempted to resist, but the runes on the stone tablet shone like an eternal torrent, crushing all resistance.

His jet-black body was sliced ​​off in half.

The next second, the master of the restricted area did not hesitate and returned to the rift in the blink of an eye.

The crack disappeared in an instant.

"Ok?"

The speed was so fast that not only Shen Ming, but also the forbidden creatures that had been stirred up by their master, didn't have time to react.

The dark rabbit that was closest looked at Shen Ming, then at the dagger in its hand.

Then, the Dark Rabbit made a gesture of offering its hands as if presenting a knife, tears of humiliation streaming from its eyes.
