Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 779, Cold Ice Domain

The fourth technique of Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship, Celestial Extinction Body Sword, once executed, allows Chu Ming to unleash the power of a ruler in a short time. This can be considered one of his trump cards.

"The Great Wilderness is about to open. The urgent task now is to seize a Nine Pastures Cloud Map."

Chu Ming thought to himself. In fact, he had noticed the emergence of the Nine Pastures Cloud Map several times on the continent, but his cultivation had reached a critical moment, making it inconvenient to take action. Now, there is naturally no problem.

Boom!

Chu Ming's body flashed and turned into a light, descending above the Celestial Travel Sect, overlooking the entire sect, which now presents a flourishing scene. The spiritual power between heaven and earth is many times purer than before.

Although it is not comparable to the Central Divine Domain, it is already very close to the strong domains in the Eastern Hundred Domains, such as the Sword Domain and Fire Domain.

All these changes were brought about by Chu Ming's breakthrough into the Life and Death Realm, bringing transformation to the Celestial Travel Sect.

Seeing that the Celestial Travel Sect was peaceful, Chu Ming felt assured as he began his quest for the Nine Pastures Cloud Map.

Swoosh!

A stream of light flashed by, and Chu Ming's figure disappeared above the Celestial Travel Sect.

...

North Hundred Domains, Cold Ice Domain, Mo City!

The North Hundred Domains are close to the North Sea, and the weather is cold. From time to time, cold winds sweep across from the North Sea, causing most regions in the North Hundred Domains to be covered with a thick layer of frost.

The Cold Ice Domain is a strong domain in the North Hundred Domains, with the largest forces being the Nine Cold Sect and Not One Palace. The two sects stand in opposition in the Cold Ice Domain, each having top-tier kings stationed.

In a tavern in Mo City, Chu Ming sits on the second floor, drinking and eating while listening to the conversations of the martial artists around him.

Since breaking through to the Life and Death Realm, Chu Ming has not wandered among mortals for a long time. This journey has made him deeply feel the stark contrast between a life and death realm king and these ordinary people. Even the strongest in the Realm of Transcendence are like weak specks of dust in this world, while life and death realm kings walk in the world like radiant suns.

"Have you heard? The core disciple Wusheng of Nine Cold Sect is going to duel with the core disciple Xue Qingyan of Not One Palace on the fifteenth of this month, atop the Blue Spirit Mountain Range!"

At the table beside Chu Ming, an elder in a black robe whispered to his companion. Although he believed his voice was low enough, it did not escape the ears of those present.

"What?! Wusheng is going to duel Xue Qingyan?!"

The second floor of the tavern exploded in chatter, while Chu Ming remained composed, his heart calm as water. On his journey, he had heard many rumors about Wusheng and Xue Qingyan. Both were leading figures of their respective sects in this generation, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would represent the Cold Ice Domain in the Central Divine Domain in the future.

"Alas, Wusheng ranks thirteenth on the Celestial Profound List, while Xue Qingyan ranks fifteenth. Although the difference is only two places, I think Wusheng can still defeat Xue Qingyan."

An elderly man in a white robe remarked leisurely.

The Celestial Profound List is a ranking in the North Hundred Domains, which includes all the young prodigies under the age of twenty-five. There are only a hundred people in total, each an absolute top figure in their region. Wusheng and Xue Qingyan are the outstanding ones among them.

"Ha ha ha, how dare Wusheng be mentioned in the same breath as my senior sister? He isn't even worthy of carrying her shoes!"

A proud voice suddenly rang out. People looked up to find a dozen young talents sitting in the corner of the second floor, each with a powerful aura and remarkable appearance. With just one glance, the observers felt their eyes hurt. The moment they noticed the clothes these individuals were wearing, their faces changed, and they lowered their heads to eat without further speech.

These people were dressed in white robes, obviously the Inner Sect uniforms of Not One Palace, known for its dominance in the Cold Ice Domain.

"Such arrogance! Even Xue Qingyan wouldn't dare speak to our senior brother like that. I wonder what made you so bold!"

While everyone lowered their heads in silence, a cold mocking voice suddenly rose. A group of young talents in blue robes entered the tavern from outside with unfriendly expressions. On their chests were embroidered nine snowflakes, indicating their affiliation with the Nine Cold Sect.

"It's Han Kui from Nine Cold Sect!"

Someone among the diners on the second floor recognized the leading disciple from Nine Cold Sect, their face turning pale as they trembled with fear.

"I just came for a meal and didn't expect to encounter something like this!"

"Alas, don't say anything, hurry and leave. If they start fighting, we won't be able to escape."

When Han Kui arrived with some Inner Sect disciples of the Nine Cold Sect, almost half of the diners on the second floor of the tavern left. The tavern owner wanted to cry but dared not speak out.

"I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be you, Hu Yian. Not much skill, but a big mouth!"

After glancing at the people from Not One Palace, Han Kui's gaze fell on a pale young man, speaking indifferently.

"Ha ha ha, half a month ago, I could defeat you. Today, I still can!"

Hu Yian slowly stood up from his seat. His terrifying aura swept around like a storm. Han Kui snorted coldly, not backing down at all. His aura exploded from his body, standing in opposition to Hu Yian.

"You were lucky to win one move, but today, I will make sure you become a soul under my saber!"

Han Kui's eyes were cold as he slowly drew the long saber on his back. Instantly, his blue robe billowed without wind, and the terrifying sword aura formed a storm, leaving countless marks on the ground.

The disciples of Not One Palace and Nine Cold Sect immediately scattered, their expressions excited as they watched Han Kui and Hu Yian.

"Ah, youth is wonderful!"

Looking at the Inner Sect disciples of Nine Cold Sect and Not One Palace, Chu Ming seemed to return to a few years ago when he was in the Great Yan Kingdom, arguing and fighting with disciples from other sects. But soon, he smiled bitterly, realizing he was only twenty-five or twenty-six, just five or six years older than them.

Almost all the diners on the second floor fled the tavern the moment Han Kui drew his saber. Except for the disciples of Not One Palace and Nine Cold Sect, only Chu Ming remained quietly drinking, looking out of place.

Seeing Chu Ming, a disciple of Nine Cold Sect frowned and shouted coldly, "An ordinary person, aren't you afraid of dying? Get out now!"

As a king of the Life and Death Realm, Chu Ming hid his aura very well, not leaking a trace. To this Nine Cold Sect disciple, Chu Ming seemed like an ordinary person.

If Han Kui and Hu Yian's battle affected ordinary people, it would undoubtedly be a disaster. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Junior brother He, don't bother with him. People like him, it's better if they die!"
