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

Shen Ming is not only a sword cultivator, but also a sword god.

Its destructive power is definitely greater than that of lightning magic, because swordsmanship can be combined with lightning magic.

Otherwise, someone would definitely stand up and say that Shen Ming was using the heavenly tribulation to commit atrocities.

Meanwhile, the rest of the people in the ancient city, including Shen Ming, had gone through two rounds of battles, leaving only four people remaining.

Shen Ming, Jun Tian, ​​Fairy of Penglai, Divine Child of Kunlun.

After defeating the Divine Child of the Other Shore, Jun Tian defeated a Divine Child from the Three Thousand Continents.

Thus, the entire army of the three thousand Daozhou's divine sons was wiped out.

Apart from Shen Ming, the other three are disciples of the Eighth Realm Immortal Sect.

Despite the fact that the Three Thousand Dao States always claim that they are not much worse than the Immortal Sect.

But that refers to average combat strength. In terms of top-tier combat strength, the Immortal Sect is still far ahead.

Next, the final round of the Quasi-God Rankings will begin.

Shen Ming versus Jun Tian, ​​and the Fairy of Penglai versus the Divine Son of Kunlun.

The winners will each receive a Xuanji Dao Seed.

However, Jun Tian seems to have other ideas besides the Xuanji Dao Seed.

While he was in the same enclosed space as Shen Ming, he did not rush to make a move, but instead summoned his companion spirit.

A long, earth-shattering roar resounded, its sound like thunder echoing throughout the ancient city.

A giant Vermilion Bird rose into the air from behind Jun Tian, ​​its wings spreading out and covering half the sky.

The Vermilion Bird was engulfed in endless divine flames, each feather shimmering with celestial radiance, its flames dazzling as if capable of incinerating everything.

Its eyes, like two burning red suns, radiate endless majesty and a destructive will.

This celestial spirit is not a simple anomaly, but a living celestial spirit that coexists with Jun Tian.

"My immortal spirit is comparable to your immortal phoenix in that all four elements are fire, and both are top-tier immortal spirits. The original runes are equally impressive. Let's take this opportunity to study the original runes together."

Who understands more and who understands less depends entirely on individual talent and destiny.

Upon hearing this, not only Shen Ming, but everyone else was baffled.

Shen Ming frowned, wondering if Jun Tian knew that he was cultivating the "Primordial Immortal Scripture".

On second thought, he realized he didn't need to worry about his magic spells being exposed.

Looking at the opponent's celestial spirit, the Vermilion Bird, one of the four great celestial spirits, it is an opportunity that is hard to come by.

"Is there enough time?" Shen Ming asked.

The quasi-god ranking is currently underway, and the ancient city won't allow them to waste time.

"Don't worry about that."

Jun Tian was afraid that he would not agree, so he waved his sleeve and a crystal-clear object appeared in his palm.

An antique yet exquisite hourglass, its entire surface sculpted from crystal. The sand flowing within is not ordinary sand, but a dazzling golden radiance, each grain seemingly carrying the secrets of time.

"This is the hourglass of time, passed down from the depths of the River of Time in the Celestial Court, capable of manipulating a space-time region."

Jun Tian gently turned the hourglass upside down, and the golden sand grains cascaded down like a waterfall. With each grain of sand falling, the rules of time in the world trembled.

A mysterious change occurred in the area where the two people were located.

“The flow of time here has been altered.” Shen Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly as he keenly sensed the anomaly in this world.

"A conceptual level of ability, isn't that practically a celestial artifact?"

"The area affected is limited, and it cannot be used for attacks, otherwise the ancient city would not allow it. It is only used for cultivation and enlightenment."

"In the world of swords," Jian Li said, while thinking, "your abilities are far stronger than those at the conceptual level."

Shen Ming felt relieved; it was similar to the Eternal Thought.

In some ways, the Eternal Thought is even more powerful than this.

"How so? Or is it that you still can't see through the immortal scripture of the primordial runes?"

Seeing that Shen Ming was still hesitating, Jun Tian cautiously probed with a question.

Shen Ming was unaware that the Immortal Palace already knew he was cultivating the "Primordial Immortal Scripture".

If they refuse because they're worried about being exposed, then all my previous efforts will be wasted.

"No need."

Shen Ming looked at the extraordinary Vermilion Bird, his heart filled with anticipation.

This is equivalent to a living, immortal scripture that resonates with him.

Perhaps it's possible to achieve the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Technique in one step.

"In that case, let's have a competition."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blazing yet mysterious flame rose up.

This flame was not the pure heavenly fire of the Vermilion Bird, but rather exuded an indescribable life force, as if it contained the power of endless reincarnation.

The flames began to spread rapidly, instantly transforming into a brilliant sea of ​​light that enveloped half the sky.

Immediately, a clear and melodious phoenix cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, like a divine sound that transcended time and space, penetrating the hearts and minds of everyone present.

A fiery shadow slowly emerged from the sea of ​​light; it was an immortal phoenix!

The Vermilion Bird, no less magnificent than the Heavenly Sovereign, was engulfed in flames of interwoven gold and red. Every feather seemed to be carved with the mysteries of heaven and earth, flowing with an immortal rhythm.

"The Immortal Phoenix!"

Upon seeing them again, many people still gasped in shock, their voices even trembling slightly.

The phoenix spread its wings and took flight, each flap of its wings unleashing a fierce storm that swept across the heavens and earth.

The divine flames of the two immortal spirits intertwined and stood in opposition, their collision faintly revealing the roar of the Heavenly Dao.

"Huh?! He didn't have a bloodline connection with this immortal spirit, only a soul bond?"

As they got closer, Jun Tian discovered this and was overjoyed.

He realized that Shen Ming might have come from the lower realm, and he didn't know what to do.

Soul bonds can be broken, but blood ties last until death.

If such a celestial spirit were in the Celestial Court, any imperial prince would choose to be connected by blood to ensure that no one could take it away.

Jun Tian was excited because he had a way to attract this immortal phoenix, thereby causing it to break its soul bond and join him.

Immortals all admire strength. Jun Tian, ​​who comes from the Celestial Court, has supreme immortal blood flowing through his body, as well as the supreme immortal seal planted by the Celestial Court for him.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Immortal Phoenix would come over with just a flick of the finger.

But we can't rush things; Shen Ming might take back the Immortal Phoenix at any time.

Jun Tian suppressed his impulse and planned to take advantage of the opportunity to decipher the original runes.

"The hourglass stops when it's finished; let's begin now."

Jun Tian had his Vermilion Bird Immortal Spirit hover above his head while he circulated the Primal Immortal Scripture, pretending to look at the Primal Runes of the Undying Phoenix.

The Immortal Phoenix resisted fiercely, igniting raging flames to block his view.

Shen Ming pointed to the Vermilion Bird opposite him, then pointed to his own eyes.

The Immortal Phoenix then understood what was going to happen: to share the original runes.

The Celestial Phoenix obeyed Shen Ming's words unconditionally. She put away her divine flames, but her eyes revealed a wary look towards the Vermilion Bird, worried that this Vermilion Bird might steal her position.

Suzaku rolled her eyes in a rather humane way.

Shen Ming activated the middle section of the Primordial Immortal Scripture, his eyes fixed on the Vermilion Bird.

Hahahaha!

Jun Tian couldn't help but laugh inwardly. By cultivating the first edition of the Primordial Immortal Scripture, not only would the immortal spirits be his, but people would also have to obey his commands.

"We'll tell you later that you stole my Celestial Court's immortal scriptures, and you'll be so ashamed you'll have nowhere to hide!"
