Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 791, Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Third Layer

Crack! Crack!

Chu Ming could clearly hear the crisp sound of his bones within his body. Under the driving force of the massive Qi Blood Power, his Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique was improving at an alarming speed.

Swish swish!

Boom!

Moments later, a red glow suddenly emerged on the surface of Chu Ming's skin. As time passed, the red glow did not dissipate but instead turned into a lurid red membrane, clinging tightly to his skin.

In just a few moments, Chu Ming's Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique broke through from the First Layer to the Second Layer. Now, his Body Refining Power was not weak compared to his Sword Dao skills.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Chu Ming's body trembled slightly, and the blood particles within him oscillated at a frequency of tens of thousands of vibrations per second, the Qi Blood Power surging like the blazing sun in the sky.

The oscillation of the blood particles was real; this was Chu Ming's body structure continually reorganizing and decomposing under the strong blood-forming capability of the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique.

Each vibration indicated an increase in Chu Ming's Qi Blood Power.

The Qi Blood Power in the black stone was depleting rapidly.

Ten percent!

Twenty percent!

Thirty percent!

...

When seventy percent of the Qi Blood Power in the black stone was consumed, Chu Ming's body refining momentum soared, transforming into a long rainbow, vast and boundless.

Third Layer of Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique, achieved!

After breaking through to the Third Layer of the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique, Chu Ming's blood was not merely red but mixed with a faint golden hue.

Moreover, in that instant, Chu Ming's absorption speed of the Qi Blood Power from the black stone suddenly increased by dozens of times. In just a few breaths, the Qi Blood Power in the black stone was completely absorbed.

Hoo!

"I didn't expect that my Body Refining Power would reach the Emperor level first!"

Chu Ming exhaled slowly, his breath like a dragon and a tiger. He slowly opened his eyes, and two terrifying beams shot out from them, like lightning darting wildly in the void.

The remaining thirty percent of the Qi Blood Power in the black stone was not enough for him to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique, but it had brought him a long way into the Third Layer.

"My current Body Refining Power should exceed that of a typical low-tier Emperor."

Chu Ming thought to himself, the Third Layer of the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique gave him unparalleled strength. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Standing up from the ground, Chu Ming tidied his clothes and slowly walked deeper into the cave.

However, since he had subdued the Heaven-devouring Bee King, he released one Heaven-devouring Bee to lead the way and ordered the Bee King to continuously report the status of the released bee to him.

Moments later, Chu Ming had penetrated seven to eight hundred meters deeper into the cave when he suddenly stopped.

"Hmm? The Heaven-devouring Bee has lost contact?"

Chu Ming paused slightly. In that very instant, the Bee King transmitted a message that the released Heaven-devouring Bee had completely lost contact.

"Show me the last image seen by that bee before it died!"

Chu Ming commanded the Bee King. With the Heaven-devouring Bee tribe's aid, Chu Ming suddenly had hundreds of pairs of eyes.

The Bee King didn't hesitate and immediately transmitted the scene the Heaven-devouring Bee saw before it died into Chu Ming's mind.

"This is…"

In Chu Ming's mind, an ancient tree entirely black appeared, its surface writhing with human faces, its branches thrashing, capable of shattering an ordinary Top Tier King. That Heaven-devouring Bee had been killed by this dark ancient tree.

More importantly, not far behind the dark ancient tree, Chu Ming saw a silver scroll emitting a divine aura.

Nine Shepherd Cloud Map!

"Finally found it!"

Chu Ming thought to himself, lightly clenching his right hand. With the Nine Shepherd Cloud Map right ahead, there was no reason for retreat.

Although the dark ancient tree was powerful, based on Chu Ming's observation, it possessed, at most, the power of a low-tier Emperor, or even slightly less. If his Body Refining Power had not first reached the Emperor level, Chu Ming would not have had much confidence.

But now, with the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique breaking through to the Third Layer, he had seventy percent confidence of obtaining the Nine Shepherd Cloud Map.

Just as he intended to go further, his body suddenly stopped.

"Someone is coming!"

The faint sound of footsteps reached Chu Ming's ears. Deploying a Heaven-devouring Bee, it wasn't long before the feedback from the bee's perceptions brought a gleam to Chu Ming's face.

"I didn't expect it to be them!" According to the report, six terrifying Demon Kings had entered the cave, five of them being half-step Emperors and one possessing the combat power of a Top Tier King.

This was nearly the full strength of the Restricted Area experts who had entered this place.

"Better to hide for now!"

Chu Ming pondered for a moment and decided. Though his current Body Refining Power had reached the Emperor level, rendering him unafraid of the five half-step Emperors, he could still play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Buzz!

Vast Soul Power emanated from Chu Ming's mind, completely enveloping him without a trace. With his Soul Strength, those six Demon Kings stood almost no chance of discovering his presence.

Tap tap tap...

Just as Chu Ming had concealed himself, a series of footsteps sounded from not far away, getting closer.

"Heh heh heh, not bad. This time, entering the Ice Abyss, we have killed off more than half of the Human Race experts. After consuming the flesh and blood of a few more Life and Death Realm Kings, we should be able to reach the Emperor level!"

A familiar and chilling voice came from nearby, making Chu Ming's eyes flash coldly.

Demon King, Qian Liwang!

"I don't understand why the Demon Emperor wants to collect the Nine Shepherd Cloud Map with such a high profile. Even if a few more Human Race Emperors are born, it won't significantly affect the overall war trend!"

The voice of the Three-eyed Demon King rang out. Chu Ming's expression shifted slightly as he listened quietly. Perhaps he could glean some unexpected information from these Demon Kings.

"Heh heh heh, how could we fathom the Demon Emperor's thoughts? We just need to do our jobs!"

A cold voice sounded. At this moment, the six Demon Kings passed by Chu Ming slowly, with a Heaven-devouring Bee trailing behind them, unnoticed by the demons.

The six Demon Kings led, the Heaven-devouring Bee followed closely, and Chu Ming, through the bee's vision, could observe their every move.

"However, the Celestial Martial Continent does have several perilous areas worth exploring!"

That cold voice came again. "If we obtain the Nine Shepherd Cloud Map this time, we might enter the Great Wilderness and attain true Emperor status!"

The voices gradually faded away as Chu Ming's Soul Power enveloped his body, completely concealing his presence.
