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

The inner domain of the Spirit Treasury is the interior of the original Spirit Treasury.

In addition to the array set up by the demonic path, there are also restrictions and limitations imposed by the Spirit Treasury itself, which prohibit those whose cultivation level exceeds the second stage of the Innate Realm from entering.

The moment he entered the Spirit Treasury, Shen Ming felt that the world was much quieter, even though the earth was burning and the sky was filled with billowing smoke.

But the thunderous sounds that usually accompany battles between Supreme Realm experts could not be heard.

The four people slowed down their pace, trying to avoid the woods and walking on wide, flat ground.

Yang Mengxiao was thinking of joining the disciples who came in ahead of her, but she was ambushed while passing through a mountain ridge.

Nine armored villains emerged like ghosts, each standing on a ridgeline, looking down from above.

Their armor varied, some as black as ink, some as dark red as blood, some as blue as a shadow, some shimmering with purple light, some as heavy as earth yellow, some with an eerie green light, some shimmering with silver light, and some with a blazing orange light, all exuding an evil and sinister aura.

Each face also bore the characteristics of a demonic cultivator: sinister and cruel.

"There are still four who escaped the net."

"Have you fallen behind? Meeting us, I don't know if it's your luck or your misfortune."

The others let out sinister laughs, their weapons poised to be used.

"How could we have been ambushed first?!" Lin Ping panicked.

They, from the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, should have encountered their fellow disciples one after the other, but now...

Could it be that everyone else was wiped out?

“Nine Fiendish Dragons, the nine most brutal disciples of the Dragon Demon Palace, each of them is at the second level of the Divine Realm.” Yang Mengxiao recognized the nine people, her pretty face tense.

She possessed three layers of divine treasures, Yue Shan and Lin Ping possessed two layers, and Shen Ming possessed one layer.

"Break through with me!" Yang Mengxiao immediately made the best plan.

Yue Shan and Lin Ping regained their composure. As sword cultivators, they could fight their way out even when at a disadvantage.

As for whether Shen Ming can keep up, that's not something they can consider.

"Let me do it, time is of the essence."

Shen Ming disagreed with the plan to break through the encirclement, arguing that chasing and rushing would waste time and could easily lead to a deviation from the planned route.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the three, he stepped to the front.

"Hmm? A first-level Divine Treasure cultivator is leading the charge? Commendable courage!"

The First Fiend wore a mask, and his eyelid-less eyes were filled with a ferocious look.

Shen Ming patted his storage bag, and nine spears flew out, lining up in front of him.

At first, everyone thought it was some kind of divine weapon.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be an ordinary, standard-issue yellow-grade spirit weapon, and the Nine Fiends Dragon burst into laughter.

Lin Ping was wondering whether he should take the opportunity to leave.

Divine Elephant Prison Force - Spear of the Underworld God!

Outside the Demon Suppression Tower, the primordial true energy could not condense into an energy spear.

However, by gathering 840 million giant elephant particles through the spear spirit weapon, an ordinary yellow-level spirit weapon can unleash the power of a heaven-level spirit weapon.

It swelled to over ten meters in the wind, its entire body gleaming with a sharp light, the tip of the spear gleaming coldly, as if it could pierce through everything in the world.

Shen Ming swung his arm suddenly, and the spear shot out like lightning.

In that instant, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

The first strike only caused the pupils to dilate before the spear was already upon them.

The sturdy armor was as fragile as paper before the spear, and was easily pierced.

The First Fiend was utterly astonished, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He looked down at the large hole in his chest, blood gushing from his mouth, and then slowly collapsed.

"Spear of Hades!"

What happened next was even more outrageous. Shen Ming threw out all eight remaining spears with both hands simultaneously, without even aiming.

In the next few seconds, the other eight evil dragons took different measures; some tried to summon them, while others tried to avoid them.

Neither method worked; the spear of Hades pierced their chests.

"receive!"

Shen Ming patted his storage bag, and all the blood-stained spears flew back.

These are the supplies he received: Yellow-grade spiritual weapons, with limited destructive power, but they can be retrieved remotely.

They were indeed common, standard-issue spirit weapons. When Shen Ming went to collect them, there were still thirteen of them, all in his storage bag.

Shen Ming circulated his inner energy to remove the blood from the spear and put it back into his storage bag.

"Let's continue, huh? What's wrong with you guys?"

Shen Ming turned around and saw Yang Mengxiao, Yue Shan, and Lin Ping standing there dumbfounded, their faces full of astonishment.

"Junior Brother Shen, are you really at the first level of the Divine Realm?" Yang Mengxiao called out "Junior Brother" with great uncertainty.

The Nine Fiendish Dragons are a major thorn in the side of the true disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect.

Despite being only at the second level of the Divine Realm, these nine individuals are inseparable, work in perfect harmony, are adept at both fighting and running, and are all clad in armor crafted by the Dragon Demon Palace, making them extremely difficult to kill.

Many disciples of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect have perished at their hands!

Now, they are being killed on the spot, one by one.

All sorts of teamwork techniques and life-saving armor seem to be nonexistent.

The spears locked onto their lives, offering no hope whatsoever.

Yang Mengxiao possessed three layers of divine power, yet she was forced to flee in disarray from all nine of them.

After doing all this, Shen Ming was neither red nor out of breath, remaining calm and composed.

"Really? Are those nine really that strong? I thought it was just a lot of people," Shen Ming said.

He wasn't surprised by the result; he was only at the beginner level of the Divine Treasury realm and he was already able to knock Lu Feng, who was at the second level of the Divine Treasury realm, flying away.

After consuming two and a half hundred-year-old golden peaches, his cultivation level reached the late stage of the first level of the Divine Treasury Realm.

The divine treasure has two layers, which are not worth mentioning.

"..."

Only then did the three members of the Longyuan Sword Sect realize what kind of person the Xuantian Sect had sent.

Yue Shan's eyes were like autumn water, and her red lips were slightly parted.

He's loyal, handsome, and possesses extraordinary strength.

If I weren't on the battlefield, I would definitely want to know something about it.

The four of them climbed over the hill and past nine bleeding corpses, only then realizing why the demonic forces had ambushed them there.

Below the hill lies a stone forest, where more than twenty disciples from the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect who came to the rescue are trapped in the formation!

The Nine Fiend Dragon was stationed here to oversee the formation and ensure it wouldn't be attacked from the outside, but it ended up dying before the formation itself.

Yang Mengxiao and her two companions didn't understand formations, but seeing their fellow disciples locked in fierce combat, they didn't have time to think much and, embodying the indomitable spirit of sword cultivators, charged into the fray.

Shen Ming was thinking of waiting a while, but then he realized that it wasn't a matter of time.

Few of the young disciples were proficient in formations, including himself.

It's simply a matter of choosing whether or not to make a move.

Without hesitation, Shen Ming followed them into the fray.

On the other side of the stone forest, upon seeing the four people who had suddenly appeared, a cultivator from the Dragon Demon Palace cursed, "What is the Nine Fiend Dragon doing?! How dare it abandon its post!"

He hadn't expected the Nine Fiends to be wiped out in less than half a minute; he assumed the nine had gone off to hunt elsewhere.

"Young Master, rest assured, my Illusionary Truth Array is not afraid of a large number of people. This is not an ordinary illusion array, but a mind array, which stimulates a person's inner feelings and confuses his judgment."

When he thinks it's fake, it's real; when he thinks the enemy is coming from the left, it's actually coming from the right.

If someone with an unstable mind, whose thoughts are filled with distractions, were to enter, they might kill themselves!

An elderly man with white hair standing nearby said smugly.

The fact that he could appear in the Spirit Treasury indicates that his cultivation level is only at the second stage of the Innate Realm, which is far behind others at this age.

However, he possessed a unique skill in formations, which he was quite proud of.
