Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 772, Snow Demon Immortal Breakthrough

The Phantom Demon King was possessed by the Demon King Yejia Nan and was killed by Chu Ming and the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast. Initially, this was justified, but no matter what, the Phantom Demon King was still a disciple of the Death Emperor. The battle back then was witnessed by many. They couldn't be sure if the Phantom Demon King was possessed, but they undoubtedly saw his body destroyed.

Life and Death Realm Kings care about their reputation, let alone a strong figure who has been crowned as a king or emperor. Even if the Death Emperor understands the situation, for the sake of his own face, he might make things difficult for Chu Ming.

Therefore, the most urgent matter in Chu Ming's heart now is to improve his own strength, and practicing Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship and refining the Soul Cleansing Water are undoubtedly part of it.

Returning to the Celestial Travel Sect, seeing that the sect and the Chu Family were both safe and sound, Chu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Chu He and Yu Guxue, he found a cultivation room and entered closed-door cultivation.

During this retreat, besides practicing Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship and refining Soul Cleansing Water, he also needs to refine that black Thunder Pearl, practice Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique, and Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist. The tasks are not easy.

...

While Chu Ming was in retreat, the outside world was stirred up because of the Life and Death Gorge incident. That day, although Chu Ming and the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast killed the Demon King Yejia Nan, in the eyes of ordinary martial artists, it was the Phantom Demon King who was slain.

After all, the Phantom Demon King was the second disciple of the Death Emperor. Now, as the news spread from one to ten, and ten to a hundred, it gradually reached the ears of the Death Emperor atop the Undying Peak.

Undying Peak, within the blood-red Divine Hall.

Bloodthirsty King stood respectfully behind the Death Emperor, angrily cursing, "This Blood Sword King truly does not know his place. Even if second junior brother was possessed by the Demon King, what right did he have to intervene? Such arrogance!"

The Death Emperor's face was equally grim. He had many disciples, but now only five remained alive. Each of them meant a lot to him. Most importantly, the Phantom Demon King had already reached the late stage of a top-tier king. In the future, with a bit of luck, it was not unimaginable for him to enter the realm of being crowned as a king or emperor.

Now, losing such a highly potential disciple, how could he be happy?

BOOM!

At that moment, a terrifying beam of light shot up from the Undying Peak, piercing the sky. The surrounding space was torn apart. This beam of light was even more brilliant than the sun in the sky. Within thousands of miles, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power gathered from parts of the Undying Peak, forming countless colorful clouds that assembled in the sky.

"Master, the youngest junior brother has broken through to the Life and Death Realm!"

Watching this familiar scene, how could Bloodthirsty King not know what had happened? He was immediately overjoyed. In a certain sense, whether it was him or the deceased Phantom Demon King, their martial talents were weaker than Snow Demon Immortal's. Therefore, although Snow Demon Immortal was the youngest among the five disciples, he was the most favored by the Death Emperor.

Seeing Snow Demon Immortal breakthrough to the Life and Death Realm, the Death Emperor's expression slightly eased. The sky roared with thunder and blue light. After a long while, the tribulation clouds covering hundreds of miles began to recede. A young man in a black robe stepped down from the sky, his face calm, yet exuding an overwhelming pressure.

"So, little junior brother, how do you feel about your current combat strength?"

Bloodthirsty King walked to Snow Demon Immortal's side and asked softly.

"I don't know my current stage; I just feel very strong!"

Snow Demon Immortal replied coldly. To others, breaking through to the Life and Death Realm might be an exciting event, but to him, it was not worth any bragging.

"Very well, let me test you. Use your full strength against me!"

Bloodthirsty King moved ten meters away from Snow Demon Immortal and said calmly. The Death Emperor stood aside without a word, as he also wanted to see Snow Demon Immortal's current strength.

Although Undying Peak was not a sect, in terms of top-tier combat strength, it was no weaker than any super-power.

"Be careful, senior brother!"

BOOM!

Snow Demon Immortal let out a long roar, lifted his right fist. Countless sparks burst from his fist, the scorching fist edge melted the space. Facing Bloodthirsty King, a top-tier king, he had no room to hold back, thus unleashing his strongest attack.

"Five Flames Sun Fist!"

BOOM!

Like the falling sun, the fist crashed towards Bloodthirsty King. His face remained indifferent until the fist was in front of him. Only then did he calmly lift a foot, slicing through the fist edge like a blood-red blade, shattering Snow Demon King's fist attack.

Thump thump thump...

The powerful force made Snow Demon Immortal step back dozens of meters. Once he stabilized himself, he saw Bloodthirsty King looking at him with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad. Little junior brother is now in the middle stage of a high-tier king. If you practice a few more powerful secret techniques, you might soon reach the high-tier king's peak."

Bloodthirsty King said joyfully. The Death Emperor also nodded. Snow Demon Immortal, though slightly inferior to him, was already remarkable among the younger generation.

"Among the younger generation, how many have broken through to the Life and Death Realm?"

Snow Demon Immortal took a deep breath and asked Bloodthirsty King.

Bloodthirsty King hesitated slightly, then replied, "Among the younger generation, you are the first to break through to the Life and Death Realm. It can be said you are extraordinarily talented."

"The first to break through to the Life and Death Realm was Soroch?"

Snow Demon Immortal asked. When Chu Ming broke through to the Life and Death Realm, he was in retreat, and the news of Chu Ming becoming a top-tier king had not reached his ears. In his subconscious, he thought Chu Ming had died, making Soroch the first among the younger generation to break through the Life and Death Realm.

"No, the first to break through to the Life and Death Realm was Chu Ming!"

Bloodthirsty King's eyes flashed with complexity. He glanced at the Death Emperor before replying slowly.

"Chu Ming is not dead?"

Snow Demon Immortal's eyes showed a trace of shock. At first, he didn't believe the news of Chu Ming's death, but after two years of Chu Ming seemingly vanishing, he accepted it. Now, hearing not only that Chu Ming was not dead but had also advanced to the Life and Death Realm, he was utterly stunned.

"What is his current strength?"

Snow Demon Immortal asked with hesitation.

"Chu Ming reached top-tier king strength right after breaking through. Now he is close to the peak of the top-tier king, only a slight difference from me!"

Bloodthirsty King's eyes showed a trace of a bitter smile. Frankly, he didn't want to tell Snow Demon Immortal the truth, fearing it would discourage him. Even he felt a sense of despair when facing Chu Ming's talent.
