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

In the lower realms, earth-shattering supernatural powers are quite common.

For example, the Hand of Heaven, a giant hand that grabs down from the sky to the earth, covering the land and sealing off all directions.

However, once in the upper realm, the same supernatural power is greatly reduced, and it can barely be used to capture a city.

One must complete the cycle of reincarnation in the Heavenly Path, otherwise one will be a useless person in the Upper Realm.

However, everything has its limits.

A cultivator's foundation determines the upper limit of their reincarnation; it's impossible for just anyone from the lower realms to reach the level of a genius from the upper realms.

"Nine-colored Return to the Void, a perfect Dao foundation, is one in ten thousand even in the Upper Realm."

"But he happens to be a swordsman with a broken sword."

While the elders of the Nine Sects were still lamenting, Shen Ming had already begun his reincarnation.

This feeling is very strange. The complete Heavenly Dao and Laws of the Upper Realm are like a jigsaw puzzle, which requires one's own foundation to complete.

He was enjoying himself, and even sensed that the Nine-Colored Ruins were far from his limit.

To outsiders, Shen Ming is like a giant whirlpool in the ocean; with each rotation, his aura transforms without any pause.

At the crucial moment, the Heavenly Dao Crystal that Shen Ming had obtained flew to his front and gradually merged into himself.

All things follow the way of balance. Reincarnation and transformation are ways to become stronger. To become stronger, one needs to use the treasures of heaven and earth to replenish oneself, otherwise one will be deficient.

Especially for someone like Shen Ming who has attained the Nine-Colored Return to the Void, this Heavenly Dao Crystal plays a crucial role.

Time passed second by second, and most of the people who were with Shen Ming had finished and felt the tremendous changes in themselves.

When they returned to the cloud ship, they saw the commotion Shen Ming had caused and looked at each other in bewilderment.

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!

In the end, only Shen Ming and An Ruoxi remained among the new disciples of the Nine Sects, with countless elemental energies flowing in an orderly fashion.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the entire Four Symbols Ruins began to tremble violently.

Above the sky, black rifts appeared out of thin air, and several Void King Beasts flew out from them.

Its enormous body, composed of fragments of stars, is dazzling and causes space to collapse wherever it goes, accompanied by howling winds and the buzzing of void rifts.

"How could this be? The Void King Beast never attacks the Four Symbols Returning to the Ruins!"

On the cloud ship, the people from the Nine Sects were completely bewildered.

With the elders and Qingxuan Shangren present, there's not much to worry about. However, due to the special nature of the Guixu Land, they cannot take action within it.

Conversely, the Void King Beast remained unaffected and rampaged freely in the Ruins of Return.

The Void King Beast in front looked menacing, trailing a long elemental storm behind it.

In the Land of Ruins, the light that originally flowed through the entire area like water collapsed into countless quicksand-like particles.

If the Land of Return to Nothingness was once a calm sea, now it is being swept by raging waves.

Other cultivators, unaware of what was happening, were instantly annihilated into dust.

"Back off! Back off!"

"My God! That's the Void King Beast."

An Ruoxi was lucky; she had just completed the Four Symbols Return to Nothingness when she heard the call from the cloud ship.

She reacted extremely quickly and soared into the sky.

Just as they were about to leave, a colossal beast gleaming with a metallic sheen swooped down.

Its two horns pierced the sky like lightning, leaving a trail of dark void rifts behind it.

An Ruoxi was terrified; she had no idea what to do.

"rise!"

In the end, it was Master Qingxuan on the cloud ship who intervened and brought her aboard.

Thanks to An Ruoxi running to the outer perimeter herself, otherwise even if Qingxuan Shangren wanted to help, he would have been powerless.

An Ruoxi, who had just escaped death, was extremely grateful, but soon discovered that Shen Ming was not on the ship!

She wasn't the only one who noticed; Elder Yue of the Taihao Sect and others were also staring intently at what was below.

Shen Ming seemed oblivious to all of this, continuing his cycle of reincarnation.

Incredibly, the nine-colored vortex surrounding him did not dissipate, remaining as still as a divine stone in a sea storm.

"It's a crystallization of the Heavenly Dao! He's reincarnating while resisting interference," Master Qingxuan exclaimed.

"What terrifying talent! Even if he weren't a sword cultivator, he would still be one of the best."

"He brought out the effects of the Heavenly Dao Crystal, and the Nine-Colored Whirlpool became a protective force."

Not only that, Elder Yue also discovered that Shen Ming had cultivated the "Azure Emperor Scripture" to the same level as his own.

It was completed in one go without any obstacles.

The Azure Emperor Scripture is ever-renewing and nourishes all things.

"Even with the obstacles of swordsmanship, one can still reach the first-class level in my Qi Sect," Elder Yue thought to himself.

Soon, Shen Ming's Heavenly Dao Crystal ran out of energy and disappeared as starlight.

Such a large piece of Heavenly Dao Crystal is enough for a six-colored vortex of reincarnation, but unfortunately Shen Ming's is a nine-colored reincarnation.

Moreover, the Void King Beast is now interfering, making the consumption even higher.

All eyes fell on Elder Yue, as he was the elder of the Taihao Sect responsible for transmitting skills.

Elder Yue gritted his teeth and took out another Heavenly Dao Crystal from his storage bag.

"Catch it!"

Without leaving any ink trace, the Heavenly Dao Crystal was directly sent to Shen Ming's front from a distance.

The Heavenly Dao Crystal seemed to possess a spirit, landing steadily in front of Shen Ming.

The Void King Beast, which was rampaging in the Ruins of Return, targeted Shen Ming and began to crash into the nine-colored vortex.

Shen Ming snorted coldly. Although he had his eyes closed, he knew what had happened.

Shen Ming was very unhappy. To him, completing the cycle of reincarnation was not an improvement, but rather an integration into the upper realm.

There's nothing wrong with encountering these dangers; it just makes me angry.

The Void King Beasts are all at the Dao God level, and Shen Ming cannot defeat them.

but……

"Since the Nine-Colored Whirlpool can withstand them, it should be able to be used for control, right?"

Shen Ming planned to use the power of the Ruins of Return to defeat the Void King Beast.

"Look!"

The people on the cloud boat immediately realized something was wrong.

Originally, the nine-colored swirling currents circled around and around, keeping the Void King Beast at bay.

But now, the vortex suddenly reverses and begins to pull outwards.

The Void King Beast, which was originally unable to enter, suddenly entered the Nine-Colored Whirlpool.

However, the Void Kings failed to launch their attack. Instead, they lost their freedom, as if they were inside a millstone, enduring the omnipresent crushing force.

As they approached Shen Ming, they were crushed into dust.

Instead of flesh and blood flying out, countless fragments formed, still retaining powerful lightning energy.

"what?"

Shen Ming sensed the power of chaos and thunder within it; the two were inseparable.

That's exactly what corresponds to his Chaotic Dao Heart and Thunder Immortal Heart.

"The Void King Beast is also part of the cycle of reincarnation, and it can help me transform!"

"Swallow!"

Without saying a word, Shen Ming integrated the two into the Void Flow of the Four Symbols Power and absorbed them together.

The four Dao Hearts corresponding to the Four Symbols, along with the Thunder Immortal Heart and the Chaos Dao Heart, complete their reincarnation at the same time.

The Nine Apertures Dao Heart was reduced to only three: the Eternal Dao Heart, the Limitless Sword Heart, and the Creation Dao Heart.

"Excellent, excellent! It's progressing much faster than I expected!"
