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

"How could such power possibly be within the realm of humanity?"

Not far away, looking at the blazing immortal palace, Fairy Wanwan was deeply shaken.

He regretted tampering with the Primordial Immortal Scripture before Shen Ming set off for the moon.

"However, he was not affected by the Primordial Immortal Scripture in the process of the Undying Immortal Phoenix's growth."

Wanwan couldn't help but wonder if Shen Ming hadn't discovered her betrayal.

However, what she handed over was indeed the initial version of the original immortal scripture.

Whether Shen Ming cultivated or not, that is still evidence.

You can fool some of the time, but you can't fool all of the time.

Fortunately, the Immortal Lord is dead, so she has room to maneuver.

"Welcome, Immortal King!"

Wanwan went to meet him, keeping her head down and only daring to observe Shen Ming's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

"Ah."

Shen Ming nodded slightly, his eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow.

Wanwan confirmed that Shen Ming was unaware of the Immortal Scripture.

"Holy Emperor! The immortal scripture I gave you last time is uncultivable! At the Holy Cliff Heaven Assembly, the Immortal Lord already discovered this and used a scheme to make me obtain a fake middle section of the immortal scripture, using me to harm you!"

Wanwan blamed everything on the Immortal Lord.

Ok?

Shen Ming was taken aback; he hadn't considered that.

What are the consequences of cultivation?

Wanwan truthfully informed him that practicing the unmodified immortal scriptures would result in suppression and restraint.

This reminded Shen Ming of the time in the Ancient City of the Moon when the Celestial Court's divine son insisted on having him observe the primordial runes of the immortal spirits.

The Celestial Court was able to obtain this information because Luo Chen, the successor of the Supreme Celestial Palace, was also going to the moon.

But for some reason, the Celestial Court's plan failed, and Shen Ming was unaffected.

"Jian Li..."

He instinctively wanted to ask the sword spirit.

The next second, she gently shook her head, leaving her only able to guess.

This drawback varies from person to person. His special constitution and the fact that so many immortals are close to him are enough to prove this point, thus causing the Celestial Court's plan to fail.

After figuring these things out, Shen Ming's eyes gradually sharpened.

"Back then, when you passed on the immortal scriptures to me, did you really not know?" Shen Ming said coldly.

This fairy was the most scheming and calculating woman he had ever met.

She is undeniably beautiful, but her inner thoughts are far from flattering.

Wanwan's face paled, as if she couldn't withstand Shen Ming's piercing gaze.

"Holy Emperor, I was forced into this situation. At the time, the Immortal Palace only gave me two choices: either be executed as a traitor or make amends."

Wanwan tried her best to make herself look pitiful and endearing.

This statement is partly true and partly false. She did indeed face these two choices at the time, but not passively; rather, she took the initiative.

But who can distinguish the subtle details?

The first lie we just heard was a prelude to this one.

She couldn't completely fool Shen Ming, so she only asked to be spared the death penalty.

Shen Ming reached out and grabbed at the air, his five fingers already tightly gripping Wanwan's slender, fair neck.

The feeling of suffocation made Wanwan's two round and straight legs tense up together as she tried to control her instincts and not resist.

"Your Majesty, considering my choice just now... spare my life, and I am willing to serve you as a slave and do anything to make amends."

As she spoke, two lines of tears streamed down Wanwan's face.

Shen Ming frowned, released his grip, and flung it away.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Wanwan didn't care about anything else and immediately came over to beg for mercy.

"Senior Sister! How could you do this to this demon! He destroyed our Immortal Palace!"

Some surviving disciples of the Immortal Palace shouted from afar, filled with resentment and humiliation.

They didn't know Wanwan's true face, especially in the eyes of the younger disciples, the fairy was holy and sacred.

Now, however, he is so humble and subservient to Shen Ming, begging for mercy.

"You all saw the tragic state of the Immortal Spirit just now. The Supreme Immortal Palace initially wanted to seize the Holy Emperor's Undying Phoenix and bring about his downfall."

Without hesitation, Wanwan said, "Today I have suddenly realized the truth and abandoned darkness for light. You should no longer be deceived."

Putting aside the reactions of the Immortal Palace disciples, Shen Ming was truly speechless.

He waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to listen to this farce.

Wanwan felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders, knowing that her life was saved.

Seeing that it was almost done, Shen Ming had the Immortal Phoenix put out the fire, and the entire Supreme Immortal Palace had become scorched earth.

Beneath the scorched earth, a mysterious celestial light quietly emerged, the true foundation of the celestial palace.

Deep within the earth's veins, a vast celestial vein, like a celestial river, traverses the land, radiating an eternal and ceaseless life force.

If the heavenly fire continues, it will damage the immortal veins, just like the Holy Emperor's Academy did back then.

Besides the immortal veins, beneath the ruins of several collapsed mountains lies a treasure trove, bathed in heavenly light and protected by divine radiance.

Every power has a treasure trove, storing all its wealth.

Shen Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly raised his hand, and an ancient and mysterious rune appeared in his palm.

These runes shone like stars, emanating an aura that devoured all things; they were none other than the Devouring Rune Master.

Ever since obtaining this talisman in the Endless Divine Realm, Shen Ming has felt it was useless, as there was no suitable occasion for it.

Only now do I realize that it was because my cultivation level was not high enough.

With palms facing down, it instantly released endless black hole ripples like a giant maw swallowing the sky.

A vast devouring power suddenly erupted, instantly engulfing the entire ruins of the Supreme Immortal Palace.

The void trembled, and all things shook.

The immortal veins deep within the earth trembled violently at this moment, and spiritual energy surged out like a raging torrent.

The scorched earth cracked open once more, and beams of golden light burst forth from the fissures, as if a dragon vein were awakening.

With a deafening roar, a celestial vein stretching across the heavens and earth was forcibly torn apart from the earth!

The immortal veins meander and coil like a golden dragon, flowing with rich essence of heaven and earth and the laws of immortality.

Not only that, there is also the treasure trove of the Supreme Immortal Palace, which has been passed down for countless eras.

The surrounding restrictions crumbled, and dazzling precious light poured down like a waterfall.

Divine medicines, rare herbs, and ancient artifacts appeared one after another, as if a galaxy of stars had fallen.

Shen Ming's gaze was cold, and the Great Luo Palace reappeared, transforming into a vast star field.

The massive immortal veins and countless rare and precious materials were swallowed up and transformed into starlight, surging into the depths of the Great Luo Palace.

The earthquake gradually subsided, leaving only barren, scorched earth.

At this moment, the earth became deathly silent and desolate.

The once glorious celestial palace has been completely reduced to a lifeless wasteland.

Shen Ming slowly withdrew his palm and put away the Devouring Rune.

"From this day forward, there will be no more Immortal Palaces."

……

Everything that happened took less than half a day.

Many people meditate in the morning, only to find out in the afternoon that the Heavenly God Academy and the Supreme Immortal Palace have been destroyed.

The Blazing God of the Blazing Clan perished, along with more than a dozen other powerful figures.

Everyone's first reaction was disbelief, thinking it was a fantasy.

Because they racked their brains but couldn't think of anyone who could do that.

But the news came from all directions, and countless people witnessed it firsthand, so they had no choice but to believe it.

After learning that all of this was accomplished by one person, everyone realized one thing!

They witnessed the rise of a legend!
