Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 778, Top Tier King Overlord

Chu Ming's lips curled up into a cold smile, his eyes darting through the dense space, watching the four fleeing, disheveled figures. He raised the Azure Sky Sword in his hand once again.

Whoosh!

"Celestial Extinction Divine Sword!"

Chu Ming shouted coldly. On the Azure Sky Sword, the Celestial Extinction Realm spread, annihilating gods and demons. A terrifying white light flashed through the space, reaching behind the Bloodthirsty King and his companions in an instant.

Poof!

Poof, poof, poof...

The sword shattered the stars, and the destructive power of Chu Ming's sword had far surpassed the peak level of a Top Tier King.

Boom!

The old man in the yellow robe and the Blood Hand King were both blown apart, blood splattering everywhere. The Bloodthirsty King quickly erected a red protective shield, enveloping both him and the Snow Demon Immortal. He dared not expose the Snow Demon Immortal to Chu Ming; if he did, the Snow Demon Immortal would have no path but death.

Buzz! Poof!

The red protective shield collided with the Sword Aura, and almost instantly, the red shield was torn apart. In a desperate moment, the Bloodthirsty King spat out essence blood, transforming into a blood-red sharp arrow, barely blocking Chu Ming's Sword Aura.

"Top Tier Overlord's destructive power!?"

The Bloodthirsty King's face turned pale. Looking at Chu Ming behind him, it was as if he had seen a ghost. The sword move Chu Ming had just unleashed clearly boasted the destructive power of a Top Tier Overlord.

The Bloodthirsty King did not dare to stay, quickly dragging the unwilling Snow Demon Immortal as they fled into the distance.

As for the old man in the yellow robe and the Blood Hand King, they were not so lucky. Their strength was already inferior to the Bloodthirsty King by a lot. Facing a lone strike from Chu Ming's sword, the Blood Hand King's body was directly shattered, and at the same time, his soul was completely annihilated.

The Blood Hand King, fallen!

Seeing this, the old man in the yellow robe was instantly horrified. He struck his right hand fiercely against his chest, spraying countless essence blood, which transformed into a ghostly pattern.

"Blood Demon Disintegration Technique!"

Boom!

The old man in the yellow robe's body exploded, turning into countless drops of blood, fleeing in all directions.

This Blood Demon Disintegration Technique is a secret escape technique. Once activated, it scatters blood drops in all directions. The old man in the yellow robe had come across this technique by chance. When used, eighty percent of his essence blood would evaporate, and his cultivation would significantly decrease. If he managed to escape, his cultivation would only hover at the High Tier King level for the rest of his life.

"Escape technique?"

Surprise flashed in Chu Ming's eyes, but he did not pursue the old man in the yellow robe. With a gentle wave of his right hand, a silver Storage Ring appeared in his hand. It was the Blood Hand King's Storage Ring.

Chu Ming examined the puppet and noticed the fluctuations within it were continuously changing. Chu Ming forced another drop of blood into the puppet, which instantly radiated light, growing fierce in momentum.

Whoosh!

Back at the Celestial Travel Sect, inside the Cultivation Room.

Chu Ming took out the Blood Hand King's Storage Ring. It contained nearly all the Blood Hand King's lifetime accumulation, filled with countless items.

However, there were also some valuable items, including two High Tier Secrets Martial Arts and over 1.2 million Top Grade Spirit Stones—an unexpected fortune. Currently, Chu Ming's greatest need was Top Grade Spirit Stones. Cultivating at the Life and Death Realm for a King requires Top Grade Spirit Stones. Though Chu Ming hadn't reached that realm yet, his strength was already nearing the peak of Top Tier Kings. His daily consumption of Spirit Stones exceeded three or four pieces, causing his previous accumulations to almost run out.

The Spirit Stones from the Blood Hand King solved his immediate needs.

After repelling the Bloodthirsty King, Chu Ming returned to Chaos Heaven to seclude himself and train in the "Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship."

...

Red light cut through the heavens and earth like a desperate attempt to flee. The biting wind revealed the grim face of the Bloodthirsty King.

"Damn it, Chu Ming now possesses the destructive power of a Top Tier Overlord. Unless a sovereign emperor-level expert intervenes, no one is his match!"

The Bloodthirsty King muttered darkly, feeling a pang of regret. He should have teamed up with the Phantom Demon King to kill Chu Ming back when the Phantom Demon King first fought him, avoiding the current trouble.

"Should we ask the master to make a move?"

The Snow Demon Immortal asked gloomily. Today's battle had completely quashed his fighting spirit. Originally, before breaking through the Life and Death Realm, he could still contend with Chu Ming. But now, even after breaking through, he couldn't even handle one of Chu Ming's crafted puppets.

"It's impossible to ask the master to take action unless Chu Ming becomes a sovereign emperor. The master can't afford to lose face!"

The Bloodthirsty King said coldly, knowing very well how Death Emperor valued face. Otherwise, Death Emperor wouldn't have sent them to kill Chu Ming.

"Alas, Chu Ming's power has grown. Killing him no longer seems simple."

The Bloodthirsty King's eyes showed a hint of melancholy. He finished speaking and led the Snow Demon Immortal toward the Undying Peak.

On the third day after Chu Ming's battle with the three, news came from the Central Divine Domain. Ling Yun had broken through the Life and Death Realm, directly reaching the Late Stage of High Tier with terrifying combat strength.

However, Chu Ming was unaware of all this. Focused entirely, he was not only comprehending the Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship but also cultivating the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist, and using Top Grade Spirit Stones to enhance his cultivation. Yet, reaching the level of a Life and Death Realm King quickly was extremely challenging. Many kings were trapped at the Low Tier or Middle Tier for years.

...

Three months passed quickly. During this time, no one from the Undying Peak caused Chu Ming any trouble, which relieved him. Though he wasn't afraid of the Undying Peak, the Celestial Travel Sect couldn't withstand continuous upheaval.

However, the Celestial Martial Continent was far from peaceful during these three months. The upcoming event in the Great Wilderness temporarily halted the war between the Human Race and the demons.

Recently, traces of the Nine Pastures Sky Diagram appeared in many places across the continent, sparking numerous battles among strong warriors. Among them, the name of the Fire Phoenix King, Feng Yuyan, slowly spread.

Even talents like Soroch and Ling Yun paled in comparison to Feng Yuyan. Many martial artists believed that even Chu Ming was slightly inferior to Feng Yuyan. But Chu Ming seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth, disappearing from the continent.

Boom!

Within Chaos Heaven, a brilliant Sword Light streaked through the sky. Like a divine stroke, the space before Chu Ming was silently torn into countless pieces.

"Three months, the Celestial Extinction Divine Sword is finally trained to the Transformation Realm!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Chu Ming thought to himself. The Celestial Extinction Divine Sword was the Fourth Technique of the Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship.
