Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 787, Clue

"How could this be?!"

Chu Ming was immensely shaken, staring again at the fragmented stone before him as if in disbelief. It still clearly bore the inscription of four characters — Tomb of Chu Ming!

After a moment, he suppressed the shock in his heart, calmly looking at the fragments before him, and slowly reached out with his right hand.

Cold, bone-chilling cold!

The fragmented stone had a penetrating chill, seeping through his skin into his flesh and blood.

"Why is this happening?" Chu Ming thought to himself, believing it might be an illusion, but the chilling sensation under his skin told him it wasn't that simple.

"Sword Emperor, do you know why this is so?"

Chu Ming asked the Sword Scripture within his Dantian, while walking to the yellowish-brown coffin behind the stone fragments. He lifted the coffin lid, and a gust of gray air blew out, the scent of decay hitting his face.

Buzz!

The remnant soul of the Ancient Sword Emperor floated out from the Sword Scripture, equally shocked at the scene before them, which had far exceeded his expectations.

"I don't know why either, but I do have some knowledge about the people inscribed on these tombstones!"

The remnant soul of the Ancient Sword Emperor collected his surprise and spoke slowly.

Following Chu Ming's gaze, he looked towards the yellowish-brown coffin. After the decayed aura dissipated, both Chu Ming and he could clearly see the inside of the coffin.

It was completely empty!

Crack!

Chu Ming's mind gradually calmed down, and he flicked his right hand. A semicircular slashing Sword Aura instantly burst from his fingertip, slicing the stone fragments into two halves with terrifying Power Qi.

Simultaneously, Chu Ming's left hand clenched into a fist, striking out to bury the entire coffin beneath the ground. After doing this, Chu Ming finally let out a sigh of relief.

He then bypassed this ominous place and continued forward, his Spiritual Sense spreading out to predict danger.

After walking for the time of a burning incense stick, Chu Ming's heaviness of heart did not lessen in the slightest. The bottom of the Ice Abyss was too quiet, eerily so.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Thousand Feather King, surrender now! You cannot be our opponent!"

From ahead of Chu Ming came a series of booms accompanied by arrogant laughter.

Chu Ming frowned slightly, blending into the space as he moved towards the battlefield, the Azure Sky Sword held ready in his hands.

Boom! Boom!

After traversing a distance of a thousand meters, Chu Ming witnessed the scene before him: six terrifying figures. Four Demon Kings, exuding overwhelming Demonic Qi, were besieging two Life and Death Realm Human King.

These two Life and Death Realm Kings, one male and one female. The man's face was pale, his aura chaotic, wearing a blue robe with a surrounding aura of purple light that forecasted the arrival of auspicious awareness, making him launch relentless attacks.

The woman, however, looked gentle, her eyes lively. Most striking was the red cinnabar mark on her brow. Compared to the man, her attacks were more conservative, focusing primarily on defense.

"Hmph, if it weren't for your despicable ambush, how could you possibly be my match?"

Thousand Feather King shouted coldly, his right hand clenching into a claw shape, purple light transforming into a dragon that ferociously smashed into one of the Demon King, sending him flying with weakened breath.

In the void, Chu Ming did not act rashly but observed quietly. He had seen these two Life and Death Realm Kings once outside the Ice Cold Abyss.

The man was titled Thousand Feather King, possessing the combat power of a Middle Stage Top Tier King. The woman, titled Flying Snow King, had the power of a High Tier Overlord King.

Their opponents were four fearsome Demon Kings, three of whom had the combat power of Early Stage Top Tier Kings, and one High Tier Overlord King.

Originally, with Thousand Feather King's strength, even facing four Demon Kings, he could still handle himself. His combat power was significantly higher than theirs, but the Demon Kings had seized the advantage through their ambush, catching Thousand Feather King off guard.

Boom!

"Purple Divine Descent!"

A terrifying purple light burst forth from Thousand Feather King, transforming into a hundred-meter diameter light ring that blasted towards the four Demon Kings, making their faces change dramatically.

"Flying Snow King, hold them off! You must escape!!"

After the attack, Thousand Feather King's aura began to dwindle, his face growing paler, as though illuminated by a final radiance.

"No, I have never fled from battle!"

Flying Snow King's expression hardened, her voice resolute. The flying snow in her hand coalesced into sharp blades, forming a storm of swords that battered the four Demon Kings.

"Hmph, today you all will die, none shall escape!"

The four Demon Kings attacked in unison, their cold claws tearing through the purple light ring in an instant. One rough-looking Demon King stepped forward, spewing blue mist from his mouth, eroding the flying snow blades to nothing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fierce battle between the six tore through the sky, with the shockwaves spreading towards Chu Ming.

"Who's there?"

The leader of the four Demon Kings scowled, shouting in Chu Ming's direction.

Swoosh!

"It's me!"

Chu Ming emerged from the void, his expression calm, eyes coldly fixed on the four Demon Kings hovering in midair.

In fact, he had purposely shown a flaw to be discovered by the Demon Kings. With his Soul Power, he could have remained perfectly hidden.

"Blood Sword King?!"

The lead Demon King looked grave. The other Demon Kings instantly halted their attacks, warily watching Blood Sword King.

The name Blood Sword King carried considerable weight on the Celestial Martial Continent.

Recognized prodigy… Legendary genius… Top Tier King...

"We don't want trouble with you, just leave!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The leader of the Demon Kings coldly spoke, wanting only to swiftly kill Thousand Feather King and Flying Snow King. If he had the strength, he wouldn't mind killing Chu Ming, but their power wasn't enough yet and he didn't want additional complications.

"Blood Sword King, I have information about the Nine Pasture Cloud Map. Help me, and I'll share what I know!"

In stark contrast, Thousand Feather King and Flying Snow King were overjoyed at the sight of Chu Ming. Thousand Feather King hesitated, then shouted to him.

"Deal!" Hearing his words, Chu Ming's expression shifted slightly, coldly responding, holding the Azure Sky Sword in a slanting position, radiating a brilliant light.
