Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 801: Acting Alone

The Sword Emperor replied in a deep voice. Even though the Sword Emperor belonged to the Human Race, he acknowledged the Demon Emperor's strength in his heart.

Tear! Tear!

The three continuously tore through space dozens of times. Following that, a massive city stretching hundreds of miles appeared before them.

The entire city was blood-red. Countless streaming array patterns on the city walls emitted terrifying fluctuations, and when activated, they could surely shatter the heavens and fill the seas.

If scrutinized closely, one could find that the city was composed of seven parts, perfectly merging together without any flaw.

Within the city, numerous human powerhouses moved back and forth. This place was the frontline in the battle between the Human Race and the Restricted Area demons.

"This is the Black Iron Fortress. Let's go down!"

The Sword Emperor said calmly, then descended from midair onto the walls of the Black Iron Fortress. At once, over a dozen soldiers in military attire surrounded him.

"Greetings, Lord Sword Emperor!"

Among the dozen human soldiers, a burly middle-aged man with a war axe stepped forward, saluting respectfully upon seeing the Sword Emperor.

"Rise!"

The Sword Emperor nodded slightly, then pointed at the burly middle-aged man and introduced to Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan: "This is Deputy Commander Zhao Weixian, General Zhao of the Black Iron Fortress human soldiers!"

Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan nodded briefly. Zhao Weixian evidently held a high position in the Black Iron Fortress, exuding an air of authority, though Zhao Weixian's cultivation wasn't weak either, possessing middle-stage Top Tier King combat strength.

In the Black Iron Fortress, ordinary soldiers are at the Realm of Transcendence cultivation level, while Guiyuan Realm martial artists aren't able to come to outer space at all.

"These two are the Sword Emperor and the Fire Phoenix Emperor, newly emerged Human Race powerhouses granted imperial titles."

Then the Sword Emperor pointed at Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan and introduced them.

"Greetings, Sword Emperor!"

"Greetings, Fire Phoenix Emperor!"

Zhao Weixian immediately saluted respectfully.

"Alright, I have some important matters to attend to. Please escort the Sword Emperor and the Fire Phoenix Emperor to their quarters and brief them about the Black Iron Fortress."

The Sword Emperor instructed Zhao Weixian, then turned with an apologetic look toward Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan: "I have urgent matters to handle and can't accompany you. Let's catch up another time."

"It's fine, you should attend to your business first, Sword Emperor!"

Chu Ming nodded indifferently. Having just entered the Black Iron Fortress, Chu Ming immediately sensed the tense atmosphere in the air, suspecting that the war between humans and demons had already reached a critical stage.

"Alright!"

The Sword Emperor nodded lightly, stepped into the void, and disappeared.

"Sword Emperor, please follow me!"

After the Sword Emperor left, Zhao Weixian immediately spoke to Chu Ming with respect, leading the way. Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan followed behind him, heading toward the central buildings of the Black Iron Fortress.

Along the way, Zhao Weixian introduced various facets of the Black Iron Fortress to Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan.

The entire Black Iron Fortress could be said to be impregnable. Inside, not only are there five million soldiers stationed, but there are over two hundred Life and Death Realm Kings, including twenty-some imperial titled powerhouses.

Moreover, outside the Black Iron Fortress, multiple arrays offer its protection, with over five hundred Sixth Level arrays alone, utterly terrifying.

The imperial titled powerhouses within Black Iron Fortress enjoy a high status, not requiring adherence to the fortress's orders.

"Alright, Sword Emperor, Fire Phoenix Emperor, your quarters are ahead. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

After a while, Zhao Weixian brought Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan to a sprawling palace complex, excused himself, and left.

There were many halls in the palace complex, most of which were vacant. Chu Ming and Feng Yuyan chose one randomly to stay.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed. During this day, Chu Ming didn't stay in his quarters but wandered around the Black Iron Fortress, practically exploring every part of it.

The martial artists of Black Iron Fortress could be roughly divided into two groups: one being the guarding soldiers, the other consisting of free martial artists not enlisted in the army but roaming through space, hunting demons.

In fact, this type of individual exists not only among humans but also among demons, with many powerful demons operating independently, dispersed in pursuit of human martial artists, similar to the imperial titled powerhouse Chu Ming had encountered upon entering space.

Chu Ming stayed in the Black Iron Fortress for three more days before leaving alone.

Chu Ming chose solitary action, preferring minimal constraints, with his Heaven Devouring Bee probing for information and foreseeing potential dangers.

...

Half a month later, a vast meteorite belt surged with Demonic Qi, teeming with countless demons, shrouded in killing intent, and descending stars.

"Kill him for me!!"

One Demon King, equivalent to a Top Tier King, shouted coldly to his subordinates, wielding a scimitar that sliced through space, enveloped the heavens, and launched a fierce assault forward.

Swoosh!

"Celestial Extinction Divine Sword!"

A chilling Sword Light tore open the void, merciless and destructive, causing the entire space to tremble under its strike.

Thud thud thud…

The Sword Light swept across, instantly shattering the bodies of demons along its path, drenched space in a downpour of blood.

Crash!

Chu Ming emerged from the encircling demons, his Sword Momentum like a storm sweeping through the heavens, unmistakably displaying the imposing aura unique to an imperial titled powerhouse.

"Escape!!!"

The leading Demon King's expression changed drastically. Never did he expect there would be an imperial titled powerhouse on the outskirts of this meteorite belt, especially not one he recognized among human imperial titled powerhouses.

"Since you're here, stay!"

Crash!

Chu Ming's indifferent voice resonated, then his left hand clenched tightly as a mighty force materialized behind him, forming seven giant dragons and seven giant elephants roaring and charging into the demons.

Thud thud thud…

Over the past half month, Chu Ming had been relentlessly hunting demons, yet his strength hadn't waned. He had honed the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist to seven elephants and seven dragons in power.

Body Refining Martial Arts differs from Sword Dao Martial Arts, the latter relying on comprehension and enlightenment whereas the former additionally requires physical strength to support it.

Chu Ming estimated that to perfect the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist, he'd need to cultivate the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique to the Fourth Layer.

Instantly, the demons surrounding Chu Ming were pulverized into blood mist by his punch.
