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

At the same time, the dazzling sword light illuminated thousands upon thousands of void rifts.

The sword light all originated from the same place.

A single portal that connects to all six realms.

A figure stood there, like a god, holding a sword.

A face appeared amidst the flashing sword light.

Gods?!

This face is flawless, especially those unique eyes.

Even if placed on a statue of a deity, it would not look out of place.

The difference is that statues of gods are inanimate objects, while this one is alive.

The awe-inspiring presence it exuded made the world seem solemn.

Everyone in the Heavenly Mandate Palace was confused and didn't know what he was going to do.

Until he raised the sword in his hand!

The sword light became even more dazzling, completely enveloping the void rift.

"God-Slaying Sword Technique! Seventh Form!"

"Sword XIV - Li!"

The sword intent encompassing all things in the universe is integrated into the swordsmanship, unleashing the strongest sword strike.

Shen Ming did not create countless clones to appear in the Myriad Realms of Heaven.

Instead, it stands in the star gate that connects all the heavens and myriad worlds, reflecting itself in all the heavens.

This was something he himself hadn't expected.

He wanted fairness and the authority to travel through the Star Path, to move freely between the Six Realms. He never expected the World Tree to be so accommodating.

It's possible that the phrase "absolute fairness" corresponds to the fact that the Heavenly Palace opens thousands upon thousands of star paths at the same time.

Upon discovering this, Shen Ming resolved to annihilate everyone with a single sword strike!

Those who incite the wrath of the gods will not be spared!

Sword Fourteen can do just that: everything becomes a sword, and all swords return to one!

The sword's power pierced through the void, and every crack caused the chaos to tremble.

In an instant, the dazzling sword light erupted completely, and it seemed as if countless stars exploded in the void rift, with boundless radiance surging out.

Countless sword lights swept out, carrying an unparalleled killing intent, piercing through the barriers of time and space.

On the Star Gate side, Miao Ran's mind was shaken.

The other chosen ones, unaware that Shen Ming's influence extends throughout the heavens, assumed he was targeting them.

From Miaoran's perspective, she could see familiar figures one by one.

The World Tree is willing to go to such lengths for him!

He attacked so many people at the same time; was divine punishment ineffective against him?

Everything has its limits; even the divine talisman of creation cannot bring infinite life.

"Who are you? How dare you attack the Heavenly Destiny Palace? How dare you disrupt the grand plan of the Nine Realms!"

On the battlefield beyond the borders, the old man carrying a medicine basket was furious.

He received no response, because at the same time, countless people from the Heavenly Mandate Palace were shouting.

All Shen Ming could hear was a cacophony of noise.

The old man's gaze sharpened; his originally cloudy eyes became piercing, piercing through the void.

With a single palm strike, an ancient and profound divine light rose from the center of his palm, instantly shattering a large swath of sword light.

However, the sword's power continued to descend endlessly.

The old man snorted coldly, raised his hand like a thunderbolt, and the void trembled as his fist and palm alternated.

Each strike contains unparalleled power.

However, the sword's momentum did not decrease but increased, seemingly without end.

The old man shuddered, a look of horror flashing in his eyes.

The real flying swords came, their sharpness piercing through heaven and earth, threatening to cleave the entire world in two.

The old man suddenly gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

He suddenly ripped open the void with both hands, from which an ancient and boundless divine light condensed.

This is an unparalleled divine technique that the Heavenly Mandate Divine Palace possesses!

The beam of light and the flying sword quickly came into contact, unleashing a devastating surge.

In the midst of the violent collision, the pillar of light shattered inch by inch, and the old man's figure was pierced by countless sharp blades.

His body trembled violently, blood gushed out, and his eyes were filled with resentment and shock.

"Who exactly is it?!" The old man died without ever figuring it out.

His voice gradually faded, and was eventually completely extinguished by the sword light.

The sword's power of reincarnation and devouring further severed his chances of rebirth.

A similar scene played out in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

Above the Eternal Palace, the cold and stern woman abandoned the Eternal Immortal Spirit and attempted to escape.

However, the area illuminated by the sword light was within the killing range of the flying sword.

The moment she was enveloped in the sword light, she was trapped with no way to escape.

"This sword strike isn't just aimed at me, it's aimed at everyone else!"

Compared to the old man, the cold and stern woman understood this point before she died.

That face, which had always been calm and composed, was utterly distorted at the moment of death.

The Eternal Immortal escaped the calamity and was bathed in a white light, concealing its true appearance.

"It's him?!"

When the Eternal Immortal saw the figure at the Star Gate, she recalled the fright she had experienced last time.

"Only he could do all of this."

The Eternal Immortal Spirit was relieved; that guy had been reduced to ashes in the tribulation of lightning, yet he was still able to speak.

Before him, even the Divine Court was nothing.

"Is that your junior brother?"

Situ Qing came to Su Lianyun's side and gazed at that godlike figure.

"It's him."

Su Lianyun nodded; he saw it most clearly.

"How long has it been since he went to the Upper Realm? He's already cultivated into a god!" Situ Qing exclaimed in surprise.

Has it been a year already?!

"He is, after all, my junior brother." Su Lianyun was quite relieved.

Only such a rapid rise can be called legendary, making one a great emperor whose name will be remembered for eternity.

……

On the Xuanhuang Continent, above the Tiancang River.

Within the void rift, Li Kong's face was filled with solemnity and grimness.

The power of the void swirling around him is what has sustained him until now.

However, under the invincible flying sword, the barrier emitted an unsettling buzzing sound, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

With a furious roar, the void beneath his feet collapsed, and his blood and qi boiled.

"What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"

Li Kong was shocked. As a prodigy of the Heavenly Fate Divine Palace, he had traversed countless realms and seen everything.

But I've never seen this kind of sword strike before!

"Hahaha, before the Dragon God, no matter who you are, you will die!"

The escaped black dragon could not harm him, but it kept mocking him from the sidelines.

A hint of madness flashed across Li Kong's eyes.

"The void is indestructible!"

His figure suddenly blurred at that moment, as if he had merged into the void.

The power of the void transformed into twisted lines of rules that surrounded him, enveloping his entire body.

The flying sword followed closely, piercing straight into this distorted void.

Each collision brought a deafening roar, and the regular lines shattered, turning into a shower of light.

Li Kong shuddered violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his breath growing even weaker.

A chaotic torrent of spacetime emerged from the rift, filled with an aura of destruction capable of annihilating everything.

Li Kong threw himself into it without hesitation.

At this moment, the flying sword finally broke through the last void barrier, and the sword energy swept in like a raging tide, completely tearing the void apart.

However, Li Kong's figure had already disappeared, leaving only a bloodstain that was slowly dissipating.

In addition, Li Kong staggered out of the crack, his body swaying precariously.

He was covered in blood and barely breathing, but a hint of relief shone in his eyes.

"That's all you've got. You've offended the Heavenly Mandate Palace, and you're doomed..."

The next second, Li Kong was struck dumb, because he discovered that there were more than a dozen people from the Heavenly Fate Palace around him.

They were all seriously injured like him, and like Li Kong, they were skilled in escape techniques.

"You...you were also attacked by flying swords just now?" Li Kong asked in a trembling voice.

Was the power of that sword strike just now only one ten-thousandth of its original strength?
