Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 780: News of the Nine Shepherds Cloud Map

In the Nine Cold Sect, a young man with a sinister face grabbed Junior Brother He, coldly staring at Chu Ming as if looking at a dead man.

Chu Ming frowned. He could understand the arrogance of geniuses, but when they provoked him, things wouldn't be that easy to resolve.

"Scram!"

Chu Ming shouted coldly. Within this single word, he mixed in some soul attack. It wasn't very powerful, as he didn't intend to take their lives, but just wanted to teach them a lesson.

Boom!

Thump thump thump...

A wave of sound rippled through, seemingly far yet near. Everyone present, whether disciples of the Nine Cold Sect or the Not Two Palace, was blown away, spewing blood from their mouths. If Chu Ming wanted to kill them, a mere glance could kill them a thousand times over.

Rumble!

Han Kui's body collided with a dirt wall, the tremendous force smashing the wall to pieces, dust swirling everywhere.

Cough cough cough...

Han Kui climbed out from the dust, his face filled with horror as he looked at the red-clad young man in the inn, as if seeing a ghost.

"Could he be a Great Power of Transcendence?"

Han Kui thought to himself. Although they weren't the strongest elites in the Cold Ice Domain, they had cultivation in the Guiyuan Realm's second or third layer. To knock them away with a single word without any suspense, the person before them must at least be a Great Power of Transcendence.

"Senior, we meant no offense, please spare us!"

Enduring his physical pain, Han Kui respectfully knelt on the ground, pleading. He cursed his bad luck to have encountered a transcendent power in Mo City.

Although the martial power of the Cold Ice Domain was higher than the Celestial Realm, a Great Power of Transcendence was still among the top in the Cold Ice Domain.

In the inn, Chu Ming ignored the people from the Nine Cold Sect and Not Two Palace, instead focusing on the glowing white jade in his hand.

"I didn't expect the news about the Jiuyu Cloud Map to come so soon!"

Looking at the glowing jade, Chu Ming's face lit up. His reason for coming to the Cold Ice Domain was that he bought news from the Life and Death Palace. Within the Cold Ice Domain, there was a Jiuyu Cloud Map. The exact location was not specified by the Life and Death Palace, only that they would inform Chu Ming upon his arrival.

"Ice Abyss!"

On the surface of the jade, there were only these four characters. Chu Ming squinted his eyes. Having stayed in the Cold Ice Domain for a few days, he heard a lot about its forbidden areas. The Ice Abyss was one of them. It's rumored that during the ancient era, there was a super sect within the Cold Ice Sect, the North Cold Sect, which dominated the entire Cold Ice Domain. The Ice Abyss was originally a mountain peak, the North Cold Sect's base. But during a battle with the demons, the North Cold Sect was destroyed, its base reduced to an abyss.

Over the years, many strong individuals entered the Ice Abyss, trying to find treasures left by the North Cold Sect, but returned empty-handed. A number of them even lost their lives, including many from the Realm of Transcendence and even some from the Life and Death Realm.

Swoosh!

Ignoring everyone else, Chu Ming's body flashed, turning into a beam of light and disappearing from the inn, leaving the disciples of the Nine Cold Sect and Not Two Palace stunned.

...

The Ice Abyss was sparsely populated, surrounded by snowy land stretching for thousands of miles.

Now, a red glow tore through the sky. Chu Ming walked out from the void, his face filled with uncertainty as he looked at the Ice Abyss.

"It's not just me?"

Chu Ming's heart trembled, quickly reacting. The Jiuyu Cloud Map was a hot item across the entire continent. Even though he bought his information from the Life and Death Palace, other kings from the Life and Death Realm might have done the same. Knowing about the Jiuyu Cloud Map's presence in the Ice Abyss would be more than just him. Indeed, that was the case.

"Haha, I didn't expect the Blood Sword King to come too!"

An elderly voice sounded. Shortly after, a hunched figure tore through the void, emerging from within. It was an elderly man in a blue robe, his face rosy but with icy blue eyebrows. Around him gathered a terrifying icy power.

"Ice King!"

Chu Ming frowned. The person was one of the top-tier kings in the Cold Ice Domain, the Supreme Elder of the Nine Cold Sect, Ice King.

"Hehe, Blood Sword King, you're so young. It's not hard to imagine you becoming an emperor in the future. Why not give us the Jiuyu Cloud Map?"

A delightful voice sounded, filled with enchanting power. Just hearing it made one's blood boil.

A seductive red flower appeared in the air, slowly blossoming. From its center walked out a graceful woman with a stunningly charming face.

"Old Palace Master of Not Two Palace, Red Flower King!"

Chu Ming murmured to himself. He wasn't very afraid of these two. The Ice King and Red Flower King were mid-stage top-tier kings, at the same level as the Blood Hand King. If he exploded with full power, he could instantly slay them.

What he truly feared was the next person.

Boom!

The void trembled. Under this terrifying pressure, the Red Flower King and Ice King couldn't help but retreat repeatedly, their faces filled with horror as they looked at the black silhouette appearing in mid-air.

Tap tap tap...

As if footsteps were sounding, a sinister-faced middle-aged man in a black robe emerged from the void, his expression cold as he stared at the Ice Abyss, arrogantly ignoring everyone else.

"Half-step to emperor!"

Chu Ming took a deep breath. The Celestial Martial Continent was a place of hidden gems; true powerhouses were far beyond the surface. Just like this black-robed man, Chu Ming had never seen or heard of him, yet his strength was nearly imperial.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A series of terrifying auras descended, dozens of them. The strongest included three half-step emperors, including the black-robed man. Most were top-tier kings, with a few high-tier kings hoping for a stroke of luck.

Chu Ming felt fortunate that no true emperors appeared.

Crack!

Just then, the azure sky shattered, and a black claw reached out from the other side of the break, rolling demonic Qi permeating the Ice Abyss.

"Restricted area demon!"

Chu Ming's face turned icy. The human race and the demon race were already like water and fire. If it wasn't for the impending opening of the Great Wilderness, a battle between humans and demons would have already erupted.

"Keke... Judging by your expressions, you don't welcome us, do you?"
