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

"The demon court of Baiyujing disrupted the peace of the World Tree, allowing the forces of darkness to seize the opportunity."

"Not only that, the Demon Court is eyeing us covetously, intending to sweep across the Nine Heavens."

"The Heavenly Lord who was born in Baiyujing was accompanied by a forbidden being."

As everyone was stunned, General Fei Peng's voice, like thunder, resounded continuously in their ears.

At this point, the higher one's level of understanding, the stronger the sense of crisis becomes.

The Great Luo Dao Masters were in a hurry and anxious, staring intently at the scene presented by the Haotian Mirror.

The Lord of the Abyss, who is ravaged by the World Tree, has no physical form, or rather, his form is ever-changing, like a primordial behemoth from legend.

The deity, charioteer of God and wielding his divine staff, engaged in fierce and perilous battles.

"General Fei Peng, what should we do?" the sect leader of a certain immortal sect couldn't help but ask.

"The content of this Ascension Ceremony, the competition for immortal destiny, is to compete with the emperor sent by the Demon Court!"

General Fei Peng said, "This concerns the future. Both the Immortal Sect and the Extreme Path should put aside their personal grudges."

As if by prior agreement, upon hearing this, the Celestial Court's Lord proclaimed loudly, "We are willing to join hands with the Divine Court to fight for the future of humanity!"

hiss!

Many people felt a chill run down their spines, as the Celestial Court and the Divine Court had a history of significant conflict.

The Celestial Court integrated those madmen from the Extreme Path, and its strength increased by leaps and bounds. It was thought that this would intensify the conflict with the Divine Court.

The fact that they now say they are willing to join forces with the Divine Court is enough to show how intense the crisis is and how powerful the common enemy is.

"very good!"

General Fei Peng nodded in satisfaction, representing the attitude of the Divine Court.

This was also unexpected; the Divine Court wanted absolute dominance, but the Celestial Court had just suggested joining forces.

"Join hands and fight for the future of humanity!"

The lords of the various celestial realms spoke one after another.

The sect leaders of the Immortal Sect and the masters of the Extreme Path also echoed this sentiment. They still harbored doubts in their hearts, but this was not an appropriate occasion to reveal them.

On the other hand, the younger generation in the Shinto realm were all full of passion and enthusiasm, shouting in unison.

Qin Yao, who had just arrived in the Upper Realm, was somewhat moved.

"Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, are you willing to join forces with us?"

With the atmosphere perfectly set, General Fei Peng looked towards Yun Xi.

Yunxi remained unmoved. The Antarctic Immortal stepped forward and said, "My Guanghan Palace has no such thing as an emperor. We are not qualified to participate in the competition for immortal destiny. Without the God Lord, everything is just empty talk."

Neither refused nor agreed.

Everyone was puzzled as to what Guanghan Palace was still hesitating about. They had already come down; it wouldn't be worth it to just provoke the Divine Court.

Sure enough, General Fei Peng smiled faintly and withdrew his gaze.

Immediately afterwards, Fei Peng waved his hand, put away the Haotian Mirror, and countless divine soldiers and generals dispersed to guard the main peak.

At the same time, the Milky Way, which descended from the endless sky, split into two parts.

The light from the star gate burst forth, leading to another celestial realm.

Everyone realized something and held their breath.

"Monster clan!"

Many people felt the aura emanating from it and their expressions changed drastically.

In the upper realm, many cultivators have never seen a demon race that transcends the realm of gods.

Therefore, the auras of the demon gods caught them off guard.

"That's the Demon Emperor?!"

Those who looked closely noticed that the star gate was vertical, running from bottom to top.

Below them are figures of demon gods, and above them are the four demon emperors!

Each one is like a sacred totem, reflected in the sky, exuding imperial aura of different colors!

Among them, the blue dragon body of the Eastern Demon Emperor is the most eye-catching.

"Look!"

However, right in the center of the totems of the four demon emperors, there is also a sun and moon hanging high.

Before it stood a blurry, unfathomable figure!

The Lord of Baiyujing!

A terrifying being who repairs the rifts in the world, rules the demon court, and instigates attacks by dark forces.

"So powerful, I can't see through it at all!"

A Daoist master tried to see his true face, but was almost blinded by the sun and moon.

No one noticed that a faint smile appeared on the lips of the Moon Goddess Yunxi.

Above the star path, the figure of the four demon emperors resides in the center.

"I've become the villain."

Shen Ming felt both amused and exasperated by the reactions outside.

Upon returning to Baiyujing from the World Tree, he learned that the Divine Court was still inviting the Demon Court to participate in the Ascension Conference.

Moreover, it was done by issuing a challenge.

The emperor of Baiyujing battles against the emperor of the Nine Heavens, thus determining their destiny in the celestial realm.

However, neither Shen Ming nor the God Lord actually cared about the fate of immortality.

The Ascension Ceremony was merely a facade, used to conceal the truly brutal great war—a war that would determine the future of the Nine Realms.

He also knew that for the past few months, the Divine Court had been erasing all traces of his cleansing of the forbidden zones of life and his identity as the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court, forbidding anyone from mentioning it.

With the restrictions imposed on both the upper and lower realms, the Divine Court was indeed able to successfully block the news.

The funniest thing is that the Divine Court got inspiration from this and staged a battle between the Gods and the Lord of the Abyss.

The goal is to create panic and establish the Demon Court as a terrifying enemy!

Shen Ming had no intention of clarifying things or persuading the myriad realms; instead, he accepted the challenge and came to participate in the Ascension Conference.

After experiencing so much, he had no choice but to realize a truth.

The truth doesn't matter!

The most important thing is who survives to tell the truth.

If he loses this battle, it will be meaningless no matter how eloquently he speaks and how much he tells everyone what happened.

On the contrary, if Shen Ming wins, the rumors will be dispelled.

However, when you discover that these people treat you as a terrifying being whose name you cannot address, there is a strange sense of absurdity.

"Even the Great Luo Dao Master can't think calmly in the face of fear," Shen Ming couldn't help but think.

"Heavenly Emperor, the time has come," said the Southern Demon Emperor.

Shen Ming nodded, and the next second, several emperors from Baiyujing walked out of the star gate.

They are Taiyu, Xingran, and Di Cang from the Demon Court.

As for Mingjun, who tried to do something to Shen Ming in the Core Sea, the Demon Court dealt with him without Shen Ming's knowledge.

The Emperor is not only a member of the demon race, but also a member of the human race, Wen Qingshu, a female sword cultivator from the Taihao Sect.

The four emperors were personally selected by Shen Ming, the ruler of Heaven, and the emperors were almost recognized by the local area.

Before becoming emperor, Wen Qingshu was at the Heavenly God Realm. After being conferred the title by Shen Ming, he reached the peak of the Dao God Realm in less than a month.

"This is the power of heaven and earth; no wonder it fascinates people," Shen Ming couldn't help but sigh.

The twelve demon gods and the twelve Great Luo Dao Masters of Tongtian Tower appeared, followed by the four emperors.

The Four Demon Emperors and Shen Ming remained atop the Star Gate, observing the scene.

This lineup is comparable to any immortal sect, but it's not quite enough for a single celestial realm.

Of course, the four demon emperors and the mysterious Jade Capital Heavenly Lord are another matter entirely.

General Fei Peng gazed sharply at the Star Gate.

Those below didn't know, but he knew that the God of Heaven was Shen Ming.

The ant he could crush at first sight was now looking down at him from a superior position, which made him very unhappy.

"The Ascension Ceremony officially begins!"
