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

"This is a struggle between the upper realms, and we are deeply involved. If it weren't for the River-Suppressing Stone Tablet, we would be at their mercy," Shen Ming sighed.

The whole thing is complicated and involves countless people.

Everyone had their own ulterior motives and were plotting for their own interests.

The Thieves and the Extreme Path knew that doing so was like playing with fire, but because they wanted to overthrow the Divine Court, they chose to cooperate with the darkness.

The forces led by the Celestial Court knew that this would bring disaster and chaos to the Nine Realms, yet they still secretly fueled the flames.

For them, chaos is a ladder!

Shen Ming couldn't help but think of Master Ji's smiling face, and a surge of evil fire rose in his heart.

“If you give up struggling, we can let them both leave,” the leader of the Jietian Sect said.

Li Miaozhen recalled the watchful gaze she had received at the Guanghan Palace, and realized that it was during that time that she became the target.

Seeing that she was prepared to make a sacrifice, Shen Ming naturally did not want to cause her any suffering.

"Trust me." Shen Ming gave her a reassuring look.

His feigned weakness was intended to get the leader of the Jietian Sect to tell him everything.

If you display great power from the beginning, it will inevitably make them hesitate.

Just when things seemed to be almost done, Shen Ming still had one more thing to do.

"Where is your daughter?" he asked.

"Of course not here."

The true god-level being is this clone of the Intercepting Heaven Sect Master; he only came in to deliver a message.

Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen both looked up at the Lord of the Heavenly Intercepting Dao in the sky.

Like a majestic mountain, it stands there, its gaze sweeping across the heavens and earth like the sun and moon.

"understood."

Then, Shen Ming took Li Miaozhen's hand and left this small world, directly exposing themselves to the power of nothingness.

The Lord of Jietian Dao did not expect him to be so decisive and straightforward.

They immediately dispelled the power of nothingness to prevent it from harming Li Miaozhen's body.

At the same time, he didn't understand why Shen Ming had come up here as well.

However, just as he spoke those words without any restraint, he didn't take Shen Ming seriously at all.

Within the small world, the avatar of the Intercepting Heaven Sect Master did not leave, but instead looked at Yun Xi, who was still somewhat bewildered.

“The Supreme Path cannot remain in the Boundless Heaven. Since I will no longer choose you as my body, our master-disciple relationship can still continue,” said the Lord of the Intercepting Heaven Sect.

"What?!" Yunxi couldn't believe what she was hearing.

After confessing everything, the other party still had the nerve to use the words "master and disciple".

"Haha, don't worry, this time there won't be a wedding, it's a true master-disciple relationship."

Don't be surprised, I know you harbor resentment, but that's just how yakuza operate.

In our extreme path, it's considered a beautiful thing for a master to marry a disciple, or for a disciple to kill a master.

"If you are able to kill me with your own hands in the future, then my Supreme Path will have a new Supreme Path Immortal Master."

Yunxi was both annoyed and amused, and taking this opportunity, she asked what was on her mind.

"Why weren't the geniuses from the lower realms targeted?"

"There are two immortal herbs in the herb field with conflicting properties. You wouldn't just destroy one of them, would you? Instead, you'd separate them and keep them at a distance," said the leader of the Intercepting Heaven Sect.

Yunxi then understood why the Jietian Sect had always kept a low profile.

“Your foundation is already at the pinnacle of the Dao, and you have no other good options. I have always admired you,” said the leader of the Intercepting Heaven Sect.

"Ha, so you admire me that you're going to let your daughter possess me," Yunxi said sarcastically.

"Haha, isn't this the best way to express it? For a long time, I've always treated you like a daughter," said the leader of the Jietian Cult.

Yunxi gave a cold smile, not wanting to say anything more.

"If you agree, I will let Shen Ming go," said the leader of the Jietian Sect.

"You just said that you would let Shen Ming go once your goal was achieved!" Yunxi's face paled.

"This is the ultimate path," said the leader of the Intercepting Heaven Sect.

They go back on their word, use any means necessary, and most importantly, they don't even bother to pretend.

"No wonder he has become an object of everyone's hatred."

"In the Eighth Realm, the Supreme Dao still occupies three and a half days, but because we are not convinced by the Divine Court, we cannot participate in grand events like the Quasi-God Ranking."

The leader of the Jietian Sect said, "Think about yourself, not for others. You have seen the reaction of the Liuli Palace. If you enter the Wuliang Heaven, you will have nowhere to stay."

Yunxi's mind wasn't on that; she was most concerned about Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen.

However, even after two lifetimes, she couldn't think of any way to contend with someone at the Dao Lord level.

She didn't know what Shen Ming could do either; the only hope she could place in the Heavenly Origin Dao Master and the others.

Beneath the abyss, even the Dao Lords could only barely hold on.

Shen Ming and Li Miaozhen arrived in front of the Lord of Jietian Dao.

It's a strange feeling that two identical people can match up all the information they've been given with just a glance.

Beside the Lord of the Heavenly Intercepting Dao, there was also a ghostly spirit.

After a cultivator in the realm of the divine path perishes, their lingering spirit may remain and even follow the path of ghost cultivation.

In ancient times, the underworld was inhabited by ghost cultivators.

Today, ghost cultivation has become a minor practice.

The ghost beside the Lord of Intercepting Heaven was a young woman, whose appearance could only be described as pretty.

Whether it was due to the ghostly presence or the extreme cultivation level, his aura was unsettling.

When they saw Li Miaozhen arrive, it was as if they had seen a priceless treasure presented before their eyes.

"Grandpa! Hurry! Hurry!" she said impatiently.

Because the father and daughter are thousands of years apart in age, they address each other as grandfather and granddaughter in public.

"Whatever you're planning, you have no other choice."

The Lord of Jietian Dao saw that Shen Ming still had ulterior motives, but he didn't care at all.

With a gentle flick of her finger, Li Miaozhen's body moved forward uncontrollably.

"Mine, all mine!" The ghost danced with glee, becoming more and more satisfied with what it saw.

Li Miaozhen can be described as practically flawless.

"You enjoy possessing others so much? Then let your Grandpa Bone possess you too."

Just then, a voice rang in the ghost's ear.

The next moment, a skeleton pounced on me from behind.

The bones in the thoracic vertebrae are spread open to the left and right, and even the skull is stretched wide up and down.

He simply grabbed the ghost and placed it inside the skeleton, and then the bones closed together one by one.

The ghostly spirit howled in agony inside the skeleton, accompanied by the exaggerated laughter of the Bone Lord.

The two voices overlapped, sounding like both crying and laughing, which was quite frightening.

"father!"

The ghost seemed to have reached its breaking point, letting out a final cry.

With a bang, it exploded within the skeleton, its soul scattered.

"Colorful Clouds!"

The Lord of Jietian was filled with shock and anger.

Bone Lord was originally a forbidden being, and he thrived under the power of nothingness.

Even he, the Dao Lord, did not notice his movements.

"How does it feel to inflict this kind of pain on me?"

Shen Ming's eyes turned cold, a stark contrast to his earlier helpless and struggling demeanor.

That's exactly the effect he wanted, which is why he put on this show.

"Die to me!"

The Lord of Jietian was furious and wanted to turn Li Miaozhen into a bloody mist as an act of revenge.

Shen Ming had anticipated this and acted decisively.

"My town!"
