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

The blazing flames swept across the heavens and earth like a torrent.

The immortal phoenix, enveloped in endless flames, soared above the celestial palace.

With a gentle flap of its wings, flames surged forth like ocean waves, instantly engulfing the light of the mountain-protecting array.

The array runes shattered in the flames, and the mountain-protecting array let out a mournful cry as it could no longer bear the strain.

"How could the mountain-protecting formation be so easily defeated?"

The faces of the many disciples of the Immortal Palace changed drastically; it was too late to run away at this point.

"Immortal Lord, please engage the enemy!"

An elder shouted anxiously.

"Let me heal my wounds and buy some time." The Immortal Lord refused to make a move no matter what.

Leaving aside the Immortal Phoenix, the main issue is that Shen Ming could kill him with a single punch later on.

The Supreme Elder gritted his teeth, spread his arms and summoned something, and a long, crystal-clear sword flew out from the depths of the Immortal Palace.

This knife was forged from the bones of immortal spirits and contains their power. It is one of the treasures of the Immortal Palace.

"cut!"

The Supreme Elder swung his sword at the Undying Phoenix, the blade flashing like a rainbow, carrying a sharp killing intent.

The Immortal Phoenix's eyes reflected the Immortal Spirit Bone Blade, and fierce flames of rage surged from them.

It opened its mouth and spewed out a flame, which collided with the blade and instantly engulfed it.

The Immortal Blade turned to ashes, and the spirit of the weapon gained some kind of liberation.

"This...how is this possible?!" The Supreme Elder was dumbfounded.

"Activate the Immortal Slaughtering Formation!"

Another elder, unwilling to sit idly by and await his death, gritted his teeth and shouted.

Several elders acted simultaneously, and a massive array suddenly rose up deep within the Immortal Palace.

Within the formation, countless illusory figures of immortals appeared, transforming into a massive pillar of light that shot straight towards the Undying Phoenix.

However, the immortal phoenix merely flapped its wings gently.

In an instant, the formation collapsed, and the illusory image of the immortal spirit dissipated in the flames, turning into specks of spiritual light that returned to the world.

The elders coughed up blood and flew backward, their faces ashen.

The disciples of the Immortal Palace suddenly realized the gravity of their mistake.

The power structure and rules of the various Dao states in the Sixth Realm do not apply to this person!

Unfortunately, they realized it too late.

The phoenix's cry pierced the sky, resounding throughout heaven and earth, shaking the hearts and minds of all living beings.

Its entire body was engulfed in golden flames, and undying Dao patterns appeared between its wings, as if an ancient blazing sun had reappeared in the world.

Wherever the Immortal Phoenix passed, golden flames rained down, igniting every inch of the Immortal Palace.

The entire celestial palace was shrouded in a fiery sea of ​​fire, and the towering celestial peaks began to collapse.

The great formation shattered amidst the flames, its patterns cracking like a spiderweb, and its spiritual energy dissipated.

"Hold on!" an elder cried out, trying to stop it all.

However, the Immortal Phoenix merely flew low overhead, and the elder was sent flying hundreds of feet away, coughing up blood.

"The Immortal Palace is gone!"

A disciple cried out in terror, their hearts filled with despair as they gazed at the temple gradually turning into ruins amidst the raging flames.

The Immortal Phoenix continued its charge, its blazing golden flames like a torrent of heaven and earth.

Deep within the celestial palace, the majestic divine mountain resembles a straight, towering sword reaching to the heavens.

The moment the Immortal Phoenix arrived, the sacred mountain showed signs of attacking.

As a result, the Immortal Phoenix let out another cry.

A huge crack appeared in the sacred mountain, and the ancient seal was completely destroyed.

Within the crack lies a dark and chilly world.

Threads of divine chains, intertwined like a net, sealed off the entire mountain interior, radiating a chilling light.

Beneath the divine chains lie countless celestial spirits imprisoned.

A jade-white Qilin lay on the ground, its expression blank.

Its immortal bones were exposed, and the original runes on them were no longer radiant.

A giant blue-eyed crane was pierced through the wings by dozens of divine chains, hanging in mid-air, with crimson blood dripping down the chains.

Its eyes, which should have been bright and clear, were now dull and lifeless.

Deeper inside, a gigantic three-legged golden crow lay prostrate on the ground, its once dazzling golden flames long since extinguished, replaced by scorch marks covering its entire body.

Each celestial being was like a prisoner, imprisoned by divine chains, their life hanging by a thread.

Some were even reduced to mere skeletons, yet they still became materials for forging weapons for the Immortal Palace.

No one in the Sixth Realm knew about this scene.

When the Celestial Palace appears, it is like a banished immortal, with celestial spirits accompanying it.

People speculate that the disciples of the Immortal Palace possess immortal blood or have mastered some way to get close to immortal spirits.

But the truth turned out to be so cruel and bloody.

The Immortal Phoenix's gaze was icy, and golden flames surged like a tide, burning away the suppressing divine chains one by one.

The barrier shattered with a deafening roar, and the imprisoned immortal spirits trembled violently.

The Qilin roared to the sky, shattering the talisman on its breastbone.

With a cry, the blue crane burst forth with divine light, severing the divine chains that had pierced its wings.

The Immortal Phoenix gestured with its wings while pointing to a figure outside.

The celestial beings who had just broken free of the divine chains all looked up, trying to understand what was going on.

Gradually, the immortal spirits also looked at Shen Ming, verifying what the Undying Phoenix had said in their own directions.

Finally, they all rushed towards Shen Ming's direction.

Shen Ming gave a wry smile. The Immortal Phoenix was looking for underlings for him.

Sensing the yearning of these immortals, he did not hesitate, and the Great Luo Palace suddenly appeared behind him.

"Come in," Shen Ming said coldly.

The gates of the Daluo Palace opened wide, and the dazzling starlight poured down like the Milky Way, transforming into endless divine light that enveloped the heavens and the earth.

Without hesitation, the immortals rushed into it, their figures shrinking continuously in the light, eventually transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the depths of the Great Luo Palace.

At this moment, Shen Ming was surrounded by an aura of immortality, as if he were the master of immortal spirits.

With so many celestial beings, the Reincarnation Heavenly Technique will reach a new level!

In contrast, the magnificent celestial palace has now been transformed into an apocalyptic sea of ​​fire.

The remaining Taoist palace collapsed continuously in the raging flames, stone pillars fell, divine patterns turned to ashes, and immortal energy dissipated.

"My Immortal Palace's thousand-year foundation has been destroyed in an instant..." The Immortal Lord had no choice but to reveal himself, for he had nowhere to escape.

"Too much nonsense. If this is your last words."

"Shen Ming! You destroyed the old order without considering that establishing a new one would bring chaos and disaster!"

The Immortal Lord was somewhat deranged, perhaps because he knew he was doomed and had no scruples.

"Your order is to treat immortal spirits like domestic poultry?" Shen Ming said coldly.

“You don’t understand, you have no idea, this is an offering to the gods! You will incur the wrath of the gods!” the Immortal Lord said.

"A god? How many hands does he have?" Shen Ming scoffed.

The Immortal Lord was ultimately a powerful figure in the lower realms; he had never even been to the moon.

Is the so-called wrath of the gods something more terrifying than darkness and turmoil?

The Immortal Lord wanted to say more, but then he felt a scorching heat coming towards him.

The Immortal Phoenix, unseen by anyone, unleashed its golden flames above his head without mercy.

"I'm not here to listen to your nonsense."

This was the last thing the Immortal Lord heard before he was reduced to ashes.
