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

Some ruins on the moon.

Da Chitian and his group emerged from the Gate of Flames, their faces filled with terror, still reeling from their fear.

This ruin is a gathering place. Due to the recent dark turmoil, many cultivators have gathered here, making it a lively place.

"Isn't that Yue Ye from the Great Crimson Heaven?! What kind of being has he provoked?!"

Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

On this moon, even Dao Lords can perish, so it's not surprising that Yue Ye met such an end.

Some people gloated, believing that Da Chitian, who had been so arrogant and domineering all day, deserved his fate.

Someone came up to them and asked what had happened.

"Forbidden creatures! Those are forbidden creatures!"

A cultivator from the Great Crimson Heaven, covered in sweat, screamed loudly.

"This is an ominous sign," everyone couldn't help but think.

"Liu Feng!"

Yue Ye gave a rebuke, not wanting to reveal that they had failed in the field of humanity.

However, the cultivator named Liu Feng was still completely bewildered, his eyes glazed over.

He clutched his stomach, feeling something was wrong with his bones.

There was no other way, so Yue Ye had to have others forcibly hold him down.

Immediately, Yue Ye silently recited the divine incantation, and his severed right arm stopped bleeding, with tendons, bones, and flesh beginning to regrow.

Cultivators in the realm of the divine have the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

Furthermore, since his primordial spirit remains intact, he might not die even if his head is cut off.

The newborn arm had pale skin, with the forearm growing from the shoulder all the way up.

However, the five fingers on the palm never grew out.

No matter how hard Yue Ye tried, it was to no avail. Upon careful recollection, he realized that the missing part of his hand was precisely the area that the skull had touched.

"Forbidden power."

Yue Ye changed into his new battle robe, concealed his right hand in his sleeve, and began to contact his Dao Ancestor.

Soon, he received a series of messages.

The boy who could command forbidden creatures was none other than the Heaven-Mending God Child who had stood out on this Quasi-God Ranking.

"Damn it!"

Yue Ye instinctively tried to clench his fist, but his right hand was empty.

The Heavenly Origin Dao Master and the Antarctic Immortal deliberately sent him there to lure him to his death.

According to the Taoist Ancestor, this Heaven-Mending Divine Child was the reincarnation of Tianpeng.

It was he who quelled this dark upheaval.

Why didn't you say so sooner?

Yue Ye wanted to curse. How could they not tell him such important information?

“We never expected him to go to such lengths for a yakuza woman.”

A reply came from Da Chitian.

Yue Ye realized that this disciple of Penglai Immortal Island, the one who mended the heavens, was going to collude with the extreme Dao.

In addition, Da Chitian told him to stay put and prepare for the next move.

"Someone who can quell the chaos of darkness, yet they make us wait for orders?" Yue Ye thought to himself, why not just send him to his death?

"With the darkness subsiding, the Emperor's power may not be of any use."

He was a reincarnation of the Great Emperor, but not a true Great Emperor.

According to general rules, after borrowing the power of the Great Emperor, there will be a long period of weakness.

Yue Ye thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense.

However, without the intervention of the Dao Lord, the skeleton could not be defeated at all.

They agreed with the Supreme Dao that no Dao Lord-level beings should be sent out in this contest.

"The reinforcements from the Western Dao will come to you to join forces. In addition, other immortal sects are already on their way."

……

Ruins of the Moon Palace, Shen Mingyue under the osmanthus tree.

With a whoosh, he turned around and froze on the spot.

Yunxi stepped out of the icy pool, and glistening water droplets slid off her skin, reflecting the pool's radiance like translucent pearls scattered across the earth.

A few strands of damp hair fell across her chest, partially obscuring her fair skin.

She stood by the pool, her skin as white as ice, her lines soft yet possessing exquisite curves.

She was only covered by her underwear, which clung to her body due to the moisture, outlining her perfect curves and graceful figure.

The previous smoke and dishevelment completely dissipated, replaced by a fresh and refined aura.

Faced with Shen Ming's direct gaze, Yun Xi showed a rare hint of shyness.

"When we first met, you walked out of the pool like this," Shen Ming said.

"Then you punched me, forcing me to pretend I didn't know," Yunxi said.

As they spoke, the two exchanged knowing smiles.

"Was it worth it to kill so many people from the Great Crimson Heaven?"

Suddenly, Yunxi bit her lip lightly, recalling the scene from just now.

"What kind of talk is that? With our relationship, what's there to say about whether it's worth it or not?" Shen Ming said.

"What's our relationship?" Yunxi stepped forward, her bright eyes wide open, staring at him without blinking.

“Of course we’re friends,” Shen Ming replied matter-of-factly.

Yunxi snorted, knowing he would say that, and gently tiptoed.

Her still-dry jade feet were slightly upturned, their curves as if sculpted by nature, their arches beautiful and slender, reflecting the clear light of the cold pool, like flawless white jade.

Before Shen Ming could react, she gave him her first kiss in both lifetimes.

"And now? What's the relationship?" Yunxi asked.

Shen Ming pursed his lips, seemingly savoring the feeling from just now.

This made Yunxi blush, but this time she didn't intend to act rashly.

Having walked through the gates of death, she felt that nothing else mattered.

"Friendship on the lips," Shen Ming said.

"I'll go to you!"

Yunxi pounced on him and bit his arm hard.

"Miaozhen, it's not like that..."

Suddenly, she heard Shen Ming say this.

In an instant, Yunxi jumped away like a cat with its fur standing on end, as if she had done something wrong.

As a result, Li Miaozhen was nowhere to be found.

"Look, this is the situation," Shen Ming said with a hint of helplessness.

Because of his engagement to Yunxi, he was unable to develop feelings for Li Miaozhen.

Even after becoming Daoist partners with Li Miaozhen, he could no longer feel any desire to take things further with Yunxi.

Unexpectedly, Yunxi burst into tears, revealing a side of herself she had never shown before.

"Shen Ming, you're bullying me!!!"

Shen Ming was at his wit's end and quickly asked Jian Li what to do.

"You're asking me about this?!"

Jian Li, who was watching with great interest, chuckled, realizing that she was just a sword spirit.

"You saved her at all costs, yet you were able to control your own emotions?" Jian Li asked.

"It seems so."

"Shouldn't a normal man neither refuse nor take the initiative?" Jian Li sensed that something was wrong with his behavior.

He doesn't seem like a normal person; he seems like a puppet.

Once you've decided on something, you won't do it.

Jian Li thought about it again and realized that Shen Ming was indeed not a normal person, and that what he firmly believed would come true.

Naturally, one will not commit the acts one has already decided upon.

“You should be cultivating the Taiqing Immortal Heart,” Jian Li sighed.

Shen Ming went up to Yun Xi and helped her up.

He used his usual tactic to change the subject, asking what exactly was going on.

Yunxi leaned against him and told him about the Jietian Dao Master.

After hearing this, Shen Ming was very excited. He grabbed her shoulder and stared at her intently.

"What, what are you going to do?" Yunxi was a little overwhelmed by his fanatical gaze.

Did I say something that piqued Shen Ming's interest?

Shen Ming took a deep breath and said excitedly:

"Yunxi, you stole my kill again!"
