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

The strange phenomena manifested by the nine orifices of the Dao Heart are all different. For example, the Dao Hearts corresponding to the four elements of water, fire, wind, and earth.

A vast aura of water emanated from Shen Ming's body, and an endless spiritual river appeared from the void, like a silver river hanging down from the heavens.

Next come fire, wind, and earth.

Amidst the interplay of extraordinary phenomena, Shen Ming's aura grew ever closer to its peak.

At that moment, an overwhelming power surged from his chest, the Daoist essence of the Thunder Immortal Heart.

A deafening roar resounded, as if an ancient thunder god was roaring in the sky, and endless lightning surged out from Shen Ming's body.

These lightning bolts carried the vast, primordial aura of the beginning of chaos, displaying a deep cyan-gold hue, as if containing the primordial power of the birth of heaven and earth.

"That is... the origin of thunder!" a Dao Lord exclaimed in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"The nine orifices are arranged in order, and all paths return to one," Shen Ming murmured.

The next instant, the Dao light of the Nine Apertures suddenly merged into Shen Ming's body, and his aura surged dramatically.

The world suddenly changed color, and countless golden runes emerged from the void, surrounding him as if they were engravings of the Great Dao, making him appear like a deity who had walked out of the primordial era.

Shen Ming slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a cold gleam.

An invisible force was present, causing the crimson sea of ​​fire to separate on its own.

In this standoff, he clearly has the upper hand.

On Penglai Immortal Island, both the Antarctic Immortal and Daoist Master Yilang had their eyes shining.

"Junior brother, you have secured an unparalleled opportunity for Penglai!" The usually composed Daoist Master Yilang rarely lost his composure.

The Old Man of the South Pole couldn't stop smiling. Who could have imagined that a trip to the mortal realm would yield such a harvest?

Upon hearing the words of the two Dao Lords, the Fairy of Penglai's expression became somewhat complicated.

The next moment, the fairy felt a tightness in her chest.

She narrowly lost to the Kunlun Divine Son and missed the Xuanji Dao Seed. Now it seems that this was all Shen Mingzhi's fault!

The Way of Heaven is fair; how could a single immortal sect obtain two Xuanji Dao Seeds?

Shen Ming, being a disciple of Penglai, influenced the Heavenly Dao, causing her to lose to the Kunlun Divine Child.

Yes! That's exactly it!

"Bai Xi, do you think Shen Ming can defeat Jun Tian?" Dao Master Yilang knew her temperament and keenly sensed this point, so he posed a question.

Fairy Penglai was taken aback, then suddenly realized that her belief that Shen Ming would win before the outcome was even decided was, to some extent, an admission of Shen Ming's strength.

“Elder, it is because a crack has appeared in my Dao heart,” said Fairy Penglai.

"It's not your fault," said Daoist Master Yilang.

Having just suffered a major defeat and missed out on the Xuanji Dao Seed, anyone would feel dissatisfied and resentful.

On the other side of Kunlun Mountain, the Kunlun Divine Son looked at Shen Ming's figure with a solemn expression.

“If I were to face him, I might not be able to win,” the Kunlun Divine Son said truthfully.

The group from Kunlun Mountain remained silent, unsure of what to say.

Qin Yuehua's jade-like hand clenched into a fist beneath her sleeve, and her Taiqing Immortal Heart was stirred once again.

At this moment, someone noticed that the area where Shen Ming and Jun Tian were located in the ancient city began to expand.

The original space was clearly not enough.

Shen Ming and Jun Tian were both like supreme experts in the realm of gods, and every move they made exuded overwhelming power.

Shen Ming became one with his sword, concentrating the power of his nine orifices into an unparalleled sword aura.

"Just now, you were using me as a testing ground!?"

Jun Tian was mostly angry; then all his earlier boasting had become a joke.

"You have self-awareness," Shen Ming praised.

"Good good!"

Given Jun Tian's personality, how could he accept this?

He held nothing back, igniting a ball of Vermilion Bird Divine Flame, its crimson flame tinged with pale gold, its flickering movements seemingly containing the power of eternal annihilation.

His expression was cold and stern, and the immortal seal in his eyes bloomed once more, actually causing a change in the heavens and earth!

The Vermilion Bird was engulfed in flames, its wings dazzling like golden-red glass, each feather flowing with endless divine flame power.

"Shen Ming, take my strongest attack!"

With a roar, Jun Tian wielded the spear formed from the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame. The spear spun rapidly, transforming into a crimson pillar of light that shot into the sky.

The Vermilion Bird followed closely behind, circling above the pillar of light and letting out a deafening cry.

The crimson sea of ​​fire then spread, transforming the void into a Nirvana Heaven, the entire space distorted and deformed by the scorching divine flames.

This is not a simple act of conquest, but a manifestation of the will of Heaven.

"This is the ultimate secret of the Vermilion Bird's Nirvana, enabling rebirth from destruction!"

"Jun Tian truly lives up to his reputation as a prodigy of the Celestial Court; such offensive power!"

Those who witnessed the attack paled in shock.

"Exactly what I want!"

As all paths converged into one, Shen Ming gently raised his sword, and invisible sword energy in the void exploded like a tidal wave. The sword energy contained infinite power of creation and reincarnation, and each sword energy seemed to be able to pierce through time and space and split the heavens and the earth.

Shen Ming transformed into the embodiment of swordsmanship, his sword intent gathering but not unleashing, as if condensing the killing intent of eternity.

This sword strike cleaved the heavens and severed the domain.

Over there, the fiery domain unfolded completely, and the raging divine flames illuminated the heavens and earth like a blood-red hell.

Jun Tian held the broken spear in his hand, but his momentum did not diminish in the slightest.

"Shen Ming, you will never be able to cross the chasm of fate!" Jun Tian said coldly, his tone filled with condescending authority.

Jun Tian took a step forward, and all the flames in the heavens gathered on the spear, sweeping out with a world-destroying force, shattering the void inch by inch.

"Suffer to death!"

Jun Tian's voice was full of absolute confidence. This spear contained the full essence of the Vermilion Bird's Nirvana, as if it would turn the entire world into ashes.

"Noisy."

Shen Ming uttered two words in a low voice, and the Great Luo Immortal Sword slashed down across the sky!

This sword strike had neither dazzling brilliance nor earth-shattering sound, yet its sword intent directly pierced through the rules of heaven and earth, as if severing time and space.

A straight crack appeared in the void, revealing endless chaotic light—the trace left by sword intent that had transcended all rules.

The world fell silent, as if time itself had stopped at that moment.

The next instant, a terrifying shockwave swept out from the point of impact.

The fire domain completely collapsed, and crisscrossing cracks appeared in the void, which could not be calmed for a long time.

Everyone stared intently, eager to see the outcome.

Soon, they heard a painful cry from the Vermilion Bird.

Jun Tian's spear broke, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He looked at Shen Ming in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock and resentment.

Looking at Shen Ming again, he remained completely unaffected.

It's as if, after being polished by Jun Tian, ​​the two are no longer on the same level.

Immediately afterwards, the area where the two people were located began to disappear.

"No! I haven't lost yet!"

Jun Tian stared wide-eyed, roaring in resentment.

This means the duel between the two is over, and Gu Cheng has declared Shen Ming the winner.

He couldn't accept it and wanted to fight again, but the Moon Castle showed no mercy and sent him away.

"He also has to thank the ancient city."

someone said.

If they continue, Jun Tian will surely die by Shen Ming's sword.
