At this moment, Li Ming and the Azure Sky Breaking Bow seemed to have become one, and his body radiated a dazzling light that was impossible to look directly at. The two were perfectly matched, as if they were a natural whole.

In an instant, a vast surge of divine power stirred up the winds and clouds for thousands of miles, and a beam of azure light pierced through the heavens and earth, flying out rapidly.

This arrow was unstoppable, so fast that no one could react.

boom!

In a fraction of a second, some of the six Immortal Extermination Guards of the Qin family were shocked and angry, while others were terrified.

But soon, a terrifying aura, like the coldest current in the world, enveloped their hearts.

An indescribable destructive power descended in an instant, obliterating everyone's expressions and thoughts.

The six Immortal Extermination Guards that the Qin family was so proud of were transformed into millions of life energy in the blink of an eye.

These people were all talents carefully cultivated by the Qin family. Among them, some possessed light purple-level attributes, with strengths in [Slaughter], [Immortal Extinction Sword Technique], and [Shadow Concealment]. Although there was no qualitative change for him, it was still a gain.

At this point, the Immortal Extermination Guards that the Qin family brought in this time were completely wiped out.

Including the man in black from before, Li Ming had killed a total of seven Qin family Immortal Extinction Guards, enough to chill the hearts of every spectator present.

Boom!

Even though the target was dead, the arrow still possessed residual power, piercing through the limits of this world.

A deafening roar of thunder filled the area.

This little world even began to collapse.

It seemed to be telling them that this place was not a good place to stay.

Of course, it's not just because of the power of this arrow.

More importantly, the corpse of the master of this small world was taken into Li Ming's inner world. With the core of this world lost, it could not continue to be maintained for long. The previous fight had accelerated this process, and this terrifying arrow was like adding fuel to the fire, greatly accelerating the collapse of this space.

"Whoever dares to move will have to try the next arrow."

Li Ming's indifferent voice echoed throughout the land.

At this moment, seeing the figure of the person holding the bow, even though there was no trace of killing intent, the people from the Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect, including Xiao Ri, Qin Qianjue, and Xiao Tianyang, immediately froze, not daring to continue their attack or move an inch.

Li Ming's gaze was fixed on them, especially the people from the Nine Yang Sect. They felt as if they had been reduced to livestock on a chopping board, and the indifferent chill was piercing their hearts.

If you move, you will die!

The seemingly absurd idea now filled everyone's minds, suffocating them.

These once powerful and influential figures have lost their former glory, becoming like branded slaves, completely unable to refute or resist.

Fear is the oldest and most intense emotion in humankind.

The oldest and most intense fear... is the fear of the unknown!

For them, they had not been unfamiliar with the divine sons of ancient families or the peerless geniuses of holy lands.

But Li Ming...

who is he?

Where did this powerful dragon from across the river come from?

With a single move, he suppressed Peng Tianyu.

What's even more outrageous is that they still had the power to suppress so many of them at once.

At this moment, everyone was filled with immense fear.

Before entering the secret realm, they never imagined that they could be forced to this point by one person.

Xiao Ri was especially horrified. He felt that the other person's gaze was somewhat meaningful.

He was inwardly groaning and couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Xiao Tianyang, an elder in the clan.

I used to think he was an elder in the clan, someone I could trust and rely on, but now I see he's a scoundrel!

He now has no intention of avenging Xiao Tianyang, and even feels some resentment.

They completely forgot their previous mindset.

"Sir, let's... let's talk this out. We can go outside first."

Xiao Ri's mind was heavy, and he forced himself to speak, suppressing his fear.

He had no doubt that the other side could kill any one of them with a single arrow.

Li Ming didn't respond to him, but instead looked at Peng Tianyu beside him.

"Weren't you so arrogant? Want to try again?"

Seeing that the people from the Nine Yang Sect and the Qin family were useless, Peng Tianyu spat inwardly.

"You...you wait!"

"I will avenge this grudge another day!"

Peng Tianyu only then realized that the situation was already decided, and he was utterly horrified. He left behind a harsh remark and turned to run away.

And this Golden-Winged Roc was indeed extraordinary; its speed was among the best in the world.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the sky, and Peng Tianyu's figure disappeared.

In an instant, it was a hundred miles off the ground.

Although he had suffered considerable injuries in his previous fight with Li Ming, he wasn't stupid.

When the Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect members made their move, he didn't offer any assistance. This wasn't just because he was idle; rather, he wanted to distract Li Ming so that he could recover from his injuries and observe the situation.

Now that they are no match for the enemy, they must flee.

Although he was no match for his opponent, he was confident that he could escape once he left the Golden Roc Palace.

"snort!"

Seeing this, Li Ming was prepared and immediately waved his hand, causing the stars to shift.

The moment the opponent turned and fled a hundred miles, it was grabbed by the giant hand, which extinguished its golden light.

"Grass!"

Peng Tianyu immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, feeling as if a tremendous force was about to crush him into a ball.

He felt that the worst decision he had ever made in his life was coming to this ancient city of Qingtian.

If I had known, I wouldn't have coveted that Ancestor's Heavenly Roc Soaring Dragon Diagram. Although it was a decent divine weapon, it wouldn't have cost me my life.

Whew~

Amidst the howling wind.

Peng Tianyu was knocked unconscious by a single palm strike.

His figure also disappeared, suppressed within his inner world.

That's right.

After refining that cave, Li Ming's inner world had transformed into a true secret realm, possessing the function of a "prison".

Even if Peng Tianyu were to recover to his full strength within his inner world, he would still have 99% of his power suppressed and would be completely unable to escape his control.

The Qin family and the Nine Yang Sect members seemed to be terrified, and dared not make a move upon seeing this scene.

Even the Golden-Winged Roc's incredible speed couldn't escape, so what other options did they have?

It's not that none of them have hidden cards, but...

Li Ming was too mysterious, and they were worried that this trump card might turn into a death warrant.

"Let's talk this out."

The first to panic was none other than the young master of the Qin family, as things had developed beyond his expectations.

Now he doesn't care about anything else, he just wants to stay alive.

First, I want to return to my tribe alive.

"There's nothing to say. If you resist, you will die."

Li Ming spoke calmly, but everyone knew that the seemingly young man in front of them was not lying.

Faced with such swift and decisive measures, no one dared to step forward and become the first to speak out.

soon.

Li Ming then suppressed them all within his inner world.

It wasn't that Li Ming was soft-hearted.

Rather, these are people who cannot be easily killed.

Li Ming's current identity is that of the successor of the Azure Emperor. Once he confirms his identity, all the forces will outwardly give face to the Azure Emperor.

It should be noted that the various forces in the Xuanhuang Realm are currently in a state of equilibrium.

Defeating, suppressing, and killing are three different concepts.

Defeating them won't attract any interference from their backers. It's just a fight between young people, and winning or losing is normal. It's impossible for them to retaliate just because you won. Otherwise, no one in the cultivation world would dare to fight.

Suppression is a way of giving face to the forces behind them, allowing for negotiation and preventing a complete breakdown in relations. However, the losing side has to pay ransom, which is an unwritten rule.

However, if he were to kill all the elders and holy sons present on the spot, the Nine Yang Sect and the Qin family would certainly not let it go.

This is a complete breakdown in relations.

However, Li Ming's arrow had already ended Xiao Tianyang's life, and the people of the Nine Yang Sect did not dare to say anything more. After all, it was Xiao Tianyang who had brought this upon himself, and it was normal that he couldn't control his strength.

"Alas, if the Azure Emperor were alive, even if I killed these people, their backers wouldn't dare utter a sound."

Even if the Azure Heaven God King were alive, he wouldn't have so many concerns.

Li Ming sighed.

If he really had someone to rely on, that would be one thing, but his current strength is not enough to contend with those holy lands and immortal families.

Even if these people attack first and he retaliates, by then... he won't be able to explain himself even if he's in the right.

The other party could easily claim it's their fault, and then they could use forces outside the rules to bully the weak.

Ultimately, having a powerful backer makes things easier.

"If this were ten thousand years ago, how could these people have attacked you?"

At this moment, Mu Chiyao appeared out of nowhere and said quietly.

"I never thought that people these days wouldn't even recognize the Azure Heaven Creation Palm or the Azure Heaven Limit-Breaking Bow."

Ten thousand years ago, when the Azure Emperor was at the height of his power.

The Azure Emperor's Creation Technique was probably recognized long ago.

Ten thousand years have passed, and who still remembers this imperial scripture that once shook the world?

Perhaps some people from those long-established sects would recognize it, but in an ordinary dynasty like the Great Xuan where Li Ming previously lived, very few people would know about such a powerful technique.

What are you planning to do?

Mu Chiyao glanced at Li Ming and asked with some curiosity.

"Naturally, it is to let the name of the Azure Emperor once again awe the world."

Li Ming said calmly.

It seemed to him that this was just a trivial matter.

There is a difference between being famous throughout the world and being renowned throughout the world.

A warrior fears power, not virtue.

Many powerful forces won't give you much face, such as the Sun Holy Land.

After all, their ancestor, the Ancient Emperor of the Sun, was also an ancient legendary figure of the human race. He attained enlightenment much earlier than the Azure Emperor and made great contributions to the Xuanhuang Realm.

...

"puff!"

In front of a side hall, a young man slowly collapsed. A trickle of blood oozed from between his eyebrows. His eyes were lifeless, and he died with his eyes open.

The barrier was finally broken, but I died before I even got inside.

On the other side, a young man cautiously stepped out, and a burst of fire fell from his hand, instantly turning the corpse on the ground to ashes. Apart from the treasures on its body, nothing else was left.

One fierce battle after another unfolded. Some lone wolves treaded cautiously, always watching those around them, while others were locked in a life-or-death duel, fighting fiercely until they were covered in blood mist and turned into corpses. Only a few managed to rush into the ancient hall.

Such incidents occur frequently and are no longer isolated cases, but rather have become the norm.

Blood had already flowed like a river in front of the inner palace complex of the God King.

Many powerful forces joined forces to divide up the largest share of the pie, but some space will always be left for others.

"Many powerful forces have sent people here. It's safe to say that there's danger everywhere. A slight mistake could lead to your death. Damn it, we must be careful!"

Someone couldn't help but curse.

"Look over there. I remember that the Nine Yang Sect, the Qin family, and a demon clan member went in before. Why are only two people coming out?"

"Isn't that Saintess Fuyao?"

"The person next to her looks familiar."
