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

The immortal phoenix let out a long cry, telling Shen Ming what had just happened.

"So that's what you were planning." Shen Ming then realized what had just happened, and his face showed disdain.

Jun Tian was enraged and his eyes blazed with divine fire.

Shen Ming ignored him, and gently raised his hand, revealing a similar Vermilion Bird Divine Flame.

"As expected of the celestial fire."

He possesses the Calamity Flame, which has miraculous effects on spirits, and this Vermilion Bird Divine Flame has miraculous effects on both spirits and physical bodies.

Through perfecting the Reincarnation Heavenly Technique, combat power reaches a new level.

Thinking of this, Shen Ming's gaze fell on Jun Tian, ​​filled with anticipation.

Hopefully, this celestial prince of the eighth realm is strong enough, because he is already the strongest opponent that can be found in the human realm.

Jun Tian sensed his intention and was both angry and annoyed.

"Like a frog at the bottom of a well, blinded by a leaf," Jun Tian said.

"Are you reciting idioms here?" Shen Ming asked.

"you!"

Jun Tian took a deep breath and stopped speaking. Immortal light surged around him, and his companion Vermilion Bird reappeared, its divine flames blazing, as if it had transformed into a burning sun.

With one step, the void trembled, and endless starlight poured down, transforming the world into a magnificent sea of ​​light.

The Vermilion Bird let out a low cry, and crimson flames enveloped him like a curtain of sky, even the air was distorted by the intense heat.

Because it was his companion spirit, after being gathered and released, it became one with Jun Tian and forgot what had just happened.

Immediately afterwards, Jun Tian conjured a divine flame spear with both hands. The spear was forged entirely from immortal flames, its brilliance dazzling and its sharpness fully revealed, as if it were about to pierce through the sky.

Shen Ming smiled calmly, raised his hand and pointed, and the Immortal Phoenix flew back to the Great Luo Palace, leaving behind a blazing vortex.

This is a competition; the Undying Phoenix, possessing the strength of the Divine Realm, cannot participate.

Jun Tian's Vermilion Bird is a companion immortal spirit, belonging to his own special talent. Even the temporary borrowing of the power of the divine realm is within the scope allowed by the Quasi-God Ranking.

Seeing that Shen Ming was ready, Jun Tian put away the hourglass.

The radiance of the extraordinary treasure, imbued with the power of time, receded completely and vanished without a trace. As time resumed, the air currents between heaven and earth swirled rapidly once more, and the wind howled.

In the next instant, Jun Tian flicked his wrist, and the spear swept across the sky like a blazing river.

With this strike, endless flames erupted, transforming into a raging sea of ​​fire that swept in all directions.

The entire battlefield was instantly engulfed in flames, leaving only a blazing red light between heaven and earth.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, the Vermilion Bird deity let out a long cry, its wings flapping, and countless flames fell like meteors, scorching and distorting the battlefield.

With a casual strike, the domain that Fairy Nine Luminaries was maintaining with all her might was formed.

"Red Lotus! That's the power of the Vermilion Bird's origin. Jun Tian's bloodline power has increased considerably. He was still holding back during his battle with the Divine Child of the Other Shore!"

The onlookers in the distance all gasped in astonishment.

Like Shen Ming, Jun Tian is also the focus of attention for many people.

Only then did they realize that Jun Tian hadn't been serious at all.

They are not even in the same league as the Other Shore God Child or the Dark God Child.

Shen Ming's figure was blurred and indistinct amidst the sea of ​​red lotus flames.

Jun Tian pressed down slightly with the tip of his spear, and the endless flames seemed to be summoned, condensing into a burning torrent that rushed straight towards Shen Ming!

Strangely, Jun Tian did not use his full strength, but waited for Shen Ming to counterattack.

"What waves can you make in my sea of ​​crimson flames?" Jun Tian said coldly, his voice like thunder, drowning out the roar of the flames.

Shen Ming was in the midst of it all, and all he could hear was the roar of flames burning everything, as if he were in a crimson inferno.

However, his expression remained cold and calm, completely unaffected.

Reflecting on what I had just gained from observing the Vermilion Bird, now was the perfect time to activate the Reincarnation Heavenly Technique.

With a thought, lightning burst forth from his palm, transforming into countless silver snakes that weaved and roamed through the flames.

This time, it's no longer a simple cycle of fists.

The void trembled slightly, and an illusory gate to reincarnation quietly appeared.

The door was engraved with dense runes, each rune seemingly burning with a faint flame, while lightning flickered around the door.

As the Gate of Reincarnation rotated, the phantom behind it gradually became clearer, and a terrifying aura of the cycle of life and death swept out, forcefully suppressing the surrounding sea of ​​crimson lotus fire.

"Hahahaha!"

To everyone's surprise, Jun Tian burst into laughter.

He sensed the power of the Vermilion Bird from the immortal technique Shen Ming used, knowing that it came from cultivating the "Primordial Immortal Scripture" just now.

That's why he didn't go straight for the kill!

"Shen Ming! You stole my Immortal Scripture from the Immortal Palace, how dare you stand here!" Jun Tian shouted, revealing the truth.

These words shocked everyone present, as this was a very serious accusation.

Immortal scriptures are the foundation upon which all major immortal sects stand.

Shen Ming frowned, assuming that he had been too obvious and that the other party had deduced the technique of changing the world, without considering that it was Fairy Wanwan's conspiracy.

After all, even if someone changes their appearance, as long as enough information is revealed, others can still deduce their identity.

This has been verified in the ancient treasure realm.

I was being a bit too blatant to operate the Primordial Immortal Scripture right in front of him.

Of course, this situation cannot be acknowledged.

He had no sense of shame whatsoever, and he plundered immortal spirits all over the Immortal Palace. If he couldn't steal them, he would rob them. His behavior was even more heinous.

Moreover, the immortal scriptures were delivered to her by Wanwan herself.

"Just now you were thinking of taking advantage of someone's inattention to steal their immortal spirit, and now you're so righteously questioning others?"

The sound of Bone Master cursing could be heard from outside.

These words reminded everyone of Jun Tian's behavior just now, which was just as egregious as the accusations he had made.

Strangely, they didn't think anything of it at the time.

Faced with a powerful immortal sect like the Celestial Court, forceful acquisition seems acceptable.

Conversely, Shen Ming, who came from the lower realm, had to accept the most stringent standards and requirements.

Moreover, these were all their heartfelt, immediate reactions.

Even if Jun Tian himself orchestrated this, he still believed that Shen Ming had committed an unspeakable crime.

"Hmph! It's no use denying it! Any immortal techniques you've learned through the Immortal Scriptures will be subject to the Celestial Court, especially those you obtained through the Vermilion Bird!"

As he spoke, the Crimson Lotus Sea of ​​Fire suddenly erupted, and an unusual aura surged from the depths of the flames.

That was not simply the power of fire, but a strange fluctuation that subtly resonated with the Gate of Reincarnation.

"Shen Ming! Admit your crimes! Otherwise, if Honglian becomes enraged, your life or death will be uncertain, and your immortal techniques will be utterly ineffective against her!"

Jun Tian continued to apply pressure, which was the truth.

At the very least, that's what he thought, which is why he deliberately created the sea of ​​red lotus fire.

The goal is to completely destroy Shen Ming and shatter his Dao heart in this way.

Of course, if Shen Ming remains obstinate, he wouldn't mind killing the innocent.

Anyway, the opportunity has already been given!

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, Shen Ming raised an eyebrow, with only one thought in his mind.

"What nonsense! I'm not listening!"
