Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 796, War Summoning

Chu Ming returned to the Celestial Travel Sect. After exchanging pleasantries with his family, he went to the Chaos Heaven above the Celestial Travel Sect to seclude himself for cultivation in the Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship.

A martial artist's combat strength is composed of numerous elements, with cultivation and martial arts undoubtedly occupying a substantial part.

At Chu Ming's realm, unless he has continuous fortuitous encounters, it is exceedingly difficult to achieve a breakthrough in cultivation. Therefore, improving combat strength through understanding martial arts is a viable path.

Chu Ming felt that if he could cultivate the fifth technique of Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship, the Celestial Extinction Thunder Shadow Sword, to the Transformation Realm, he would be able to contend with intermediate Emperor-sealing experts like the Blood Moon Emperor.

While Chu Ming was in seclusion, the news about his emperor-sealing breakthrough spread like wildfire outside.

...

Tongzhou, Lin Family.

The Lin Family was no longer what it used to be. Since the Evil Wind Emperor revived from the Ancient Battlefield, the entire Tongzhou had fallen under the Lin Family's control, and any dissenting forces were exterminated.

In the Lin Family's restricted area, the Evil Wind Emperor, clad in a purple robe, sat quietly on a glass chair, listening to the Lin Family's Grand Elder reporting the widespread news of Chu Ming on the Celestial Martial Continent.

After a while, the Lin Family's Grand Elder finished his report and quietly stepped aside, wiping the sweat off his face. His back was drenched; though the Evil Wind Emperor's aura wasn't deliberately targeting him, it still made his heart palpitate. He was merely an ordinary King in the Life and Death Realm.

"I didn't expect him to seal an emperor so quickly!"

The Evil Wind Emperor's expression was serious, a hint of admiration in his heart. He had truly grown up during the Ancient Era, where he was also a top-tier prodigy, confident that his talent wouldn't be weaker than a titled prodigy. Yet Chu Ming's growth pace still shocked him.

In his eyes, in this era, the emergence of experts like the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction was already astonishing, but Chu Ming was even more terrifying.

"I hope he succeeds!" the Evil Wind Emperor thought, his face showing a hint of bitterness. The peak experts of the Celestial Martial Continent all understood that they were living in a prison, a cage woven by a restricted area.

From the Primordial Era to the Ancient Era, and then to the recent ancient times, countless emperor-sealing experts attempted to break through the restricted area's blockade and shatter this cage but all failed.

In their own times, figures like the Evil Celestial Emperor and the Ancient Sword Emperor were undoubtedly the most extraordinary, but even they could only struggle bitterly under the restricted area.

Today, a peak expert capable of contending with the Demon Emperor was needed. Although the joint forces of the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction could barely resist the Demon Emperor, it was far from enough.

One must know that the Evil Celestial Emperor once split into seventy-two avatars, each an emperor-sealing expert—how terrifying. Yet, most of these avatars were still destroyed by the Demon Emperor.

"I didn't expect you to have already sealed an emperor!"

When Soroch, who had already broken through to become a King in the Life and Death Realm, heard the news, his first reaction was disbelief. Nevertheless, he finally believed, a bitter smile crossing his face.

He had now become a top-tier King, thinking that the gap between him and Chu Ming would have significantly narrowed. Unexpectedly, the distance had only widened infinitely.

Unless he had a fortuitous encounter, it would take him at least ten years to seal an emperor.

In the Life and Death Palace, Feng Yuyan remained in her place, but things were no longer the same. She had become one of the ten real power elders of the Life and Death Palace.

"He has sealed an emperor; I cannot lag behind!"

In the seventh layer of the Life and Death Tower, Feng Yuyan murmured, countless strands of spiritual power converging towards her body, sparks bursting from her form, painting the sky a fiery red.

...

Time flies quickly for martial artists. Thus, a month passed by gradually, and the news of Chu Ming sealing an emperor on the Celestial Martial Continent began to settle down.

However, every emperor-sealing expert on the Celestial Martial Continent had their own title. Many martial artists and experts gave Chu Ming a title—Sword Emperor!

King among swords!

Looking back at the history of the Celestial Martial Continent, Chu Ming truly deserved this title. His talent, if not unprecedented, was certainly exceptional.

Some even said that Chu Ming's talent in Sword Dao surpassed that of the Ancient Sword Emperor.

On this day, Chu Ming emerged from seclusion, not because he had cultivated the Celestial Extinction Thunder Shadow Sword to the Transformation Realm but because a summons had come from the Life and Death Palace. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

When he first joined the Life and Death Palace, he had left his means of communication with them, believing they wouldn't summon him for trivial matters.

Swish!

Returning from the Chaos Heaven to the Celestial Travel Sect, Chu Ming first exchanged greetings with his family and elders in the sect. Then, he upgraded the Guardian Puppet, giving it top-tier King overlord-level combat strength. Additionally, he stored three seals of the Celestial Extinction Divine Sword in the Blood Dome Sword.

With everything in order, Chu Ming felt at ease to fly towards the Life and Death Palace.

...

Half an hour later, Chu Ming arrived at the Life and Death Palace. Though it wasn't his first time seeing the Life and Death Tower, he couldn't help but feel awed. An absurd thought even crossed his mind—that perhaps the Holy Tomb and this Life and Death Tower were intertwined by countless threads.

"Hahaha, Sword Emperor, you finally arrived!"

A hearty voice sounded. Chu Ming's arrival was no secret and he had not concealed his movements. As soon as he reached the first layer of the Life and Death Tower, ripples spread through the void.

A middle-aged man in black robes emerged from the void. His expression was extremely cold, surrounded by an overwhelming sword momentum that faintly tore the void, giving off an invincible impression.

"Greetings, Senior Sword Emperor!"

To Chu Ming's surprise, the one greeting him was the master of the Blade God Palace, the Sword Emperor, giving him ample respect. Chu Ming immediately clasped his hands and bowed in salute.

"Rise. Among those who seal emperors, strength is paramount. With your talent, you'll surpass me someday. If you wouldn't mind, we can consider each other as equals!"

The Sword Emperor was open-minded and immediately stopped Chu Ming, unwilling to put on airs.

"I respectfully accept!"

Chu Ming said, standing up and tidying his robe.

"Let's go; they have been waiting for a long time!"

The Sword Emperor's eyes revealed a hint of a smile as he spoke to Chu Ming.

"Alright!"

Chu Ming replied, and then, with the Sword Emperor leading and Chu Ming following, they walked towards the third layer of the Life and Death Tower.
