Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 846 - 845: One Year Later

Xiao Ai's words were filled with loneliness and helplessness.

"Your former master?"

Chu Ming's heart stirred slightly. At this moment, he thought of the mystique of the Holy Tomb, and thought of Di Rong who had taken him in as a registered disciple.

"Yes, my old master was the supreme being of the Heavenly Dao, once roamed the cosmos freely. Even the Sovereigns of the nine Divine Kingdoms, upon meeting my master, had to show respect. Unfortunately, for the sake of an artifact, he was besieged by three powerful beings of the Heavenly Dao. Although he escaped in the end, he was gravely injured and ultimately fell!"

Xiao Ai spoke with sorrow. Although he was an Artifact Spirit, he had developed human emotions, and when he thought of the past, his heart surged.

"Your old master, called Di Rong?"

Chu Ming hesitated slightly, his expression turning strange as he asked.

Heavenly Dao beings are truly rare, even in the vast cosmos, they are countable with one hand. Could another Heavenly Dao being have descended upon the Celestial Martial Continent after Di Rong's fall? The odds of such an event are terribly low.

Xiao Ai was momentarily stunned, and said in surprise, "You actually know my master's name?"

"Indeed!"

Chu Ming's heart felt relieved, and he then recounted all his experiences in the Holy Tomb to Xiao Ai.

After speaking, Xiao Ai was rendered speechless, and said, "I never thought you were Master's registered disciple, but it makes sense. In this forsaken land, your talent is unparalleled, and in the cosmos, you might barely be considered a king-level prodigy. Killing Lan, that fellow, it makes sense that Master would take you as a registered disciple!"

Lan, it seems, must be the name of the Artifact Spirit within the Primordial Tower of the Holy Tomb.

"Then how can your seal be broken?"

Chu Ming asked slowly. The Divine Brilliance Sword is a Celestial Artifact, and he couldn't possibly give it up. No matter what, he must find a way to break the seal on the Divine Brilliance Sword.

"My seal has four layers, and breaking through each layer requires a large amount of rare treasures. It's too early to discuss this with you now. The Restricted Area has been extinguished; you should venture into the cosmos. Only then will your horizons expand, and your cultivation improve!"

Xiao Ai spoke calmly, "In comparison to the entire cosmos, the Celestial Martial Continent is nothing more than a backwater. Now that you've understood the Law, you cannot comprehend a second Flower of Law on the Celestial Martial Continent!"

Hoo!

"Once matters regarding the Celestial Martial Continent are settled, I will venture into the cosmos!"

Chu Ming silently vowed in his heart.

On this day, in the North Sea, a blood-colored figure flew through the void at an incredibly swift speed, leaving behind a trail of afterimages in the sky.

"The land ahead should be the territory of the Thousand Demon Palace!"

After several days, the demons on the Celestial Martial Continent have generally been exterminated cleanly, allowing Chu Ming to finally have his hands free to intimidate the Demon Race.

Boom!

Chu Ming's eyes shot open, piercing through layer upon layer of void. Amid the swirling seawater, amidst floating bubbles, there lay a vast purple Sea Palace spanning hundreds of miles, situated in the depths of the North Sea.

Within it, demon shadows loomed, and fearsome Demon Kings lay dormant, intimidating myriad races.

Outside the purple Sea Palace, several layers of pale green Barrier Arrays enveloped the entire Thousand Demon Palace, turning it into a fortress of war.

Swoosh!

"Floating Blood!"

Chu Ming retrieved the Divine Brilliance Sword from his Storage Ring, the Flower of Slaughter Law blossoming, and an extremely dazzling red radiance erupted from the Divine Brilliance Sword, annihilating everything in an instant.

Splutter!

Crack!

Rumble!

The several layers of Barrier Arrays of the Thousand Demon Palace, under the Floating Blood, were shattered effortlessly, and almost instantaneously, they split apart in the center. Not only that, but the entire Sea Palace of the Thousand Demon Palace was cleaved in half by this sword.

As the earth shook and mountains quaked, the vast Sea Palace of the Thousand Demon Palace was torn apart in the center, and several great demons couldn't even react, their demon bodies torn apart, drenched in blood.

"What's going on?!"

"What in the world happened?!"

"Why did the Thousand Demon Palace collapse?!"

"Who is it? Who wields power so great?!"

The Thousand Demon Palace was in chaos, and countless Demon Kings and great demons flew out of the Sea Palace, staring in shock at the shattered palace.

"Is it the Sword Emperor?"

Beneath the Thousand Demon Palace, an ancient presence opened its scarlet eyes, staring at the blood-colored figure in mid-air, eyes filled with terror.

He is the ruler of the Thousand Demon Palace, a great demon who has lived for tens of thousands of years. In terms of strength, he is not at all weaker than the Emperor of Creation and Emperor of Destruction at their peaks. But the Sword Emperor, the Sword Emperor is the mighty existence who stepped through Restricted Areas with his own hands, killing him would be like slaughtering a dog.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Outside the Thousand Demon Palace, Chu Ming didn't stop after cleaving the Sea Palace in two. Instead, he performed a set of Celestial Extinction Swordsmanship above the Thousand Demon Palace, shattering the Sea Palace to bits, causing countless deaths and injuries.

Chu Ming hadn't intended to annihilate the Demon Race; his purpose for coming this time was merely to deliver a warning to them.

"The Demon Race has three days to withdraw from the Human Race territory, or billions of Demon Kings and great demons will be slaughtered!"

Mid-air above the Thousand Demon Palace, Chu Ming announced coldly, his gaze as sharp as a blade.

His words, boosted by Spiritual Power, spread throughout the Thousand Demon Palace, causing one great demon after another to fume in anger, yet none dared to show their head.

"This Sword Emperor is utterly bullying the Demon Race, it's infuriating!!"

"Were it not for relying on the Human Dao Sword, how could he be a match for the ancestor?!"

"The Human Race territory is something we seized with our strength, why should we give it back to the Human Race?!"

Countless Demon Race great demons moved their lips slightly, secretly transmitting curses.

Chu Ming's lips curled into a cold smile, then he turned and left the North Sea.

Moments later, an aged voice resounded within the Thousand Demon Palace: "Order the Demon Race of the Thousand Demon Palace to withdraw from the Human Race territory within three days, or be expelled from the Thousand Demon Palace!"

The great demons of the Thousand Demon Palace fell silent instantly; they knew that the voice belonged to their strongest ancestor of the Thousand Demon Palace.

The Thousand Demon Palace has stood atop the Celestial Martial Continent for tens of thousands of years, largely owing to the existence of this strongest ancestor.

Three days later, news came from the North Sea that the Thousand Demon Palace had withdrawn from the Human Race territory.

Celestial Travel Sect.

"They sure know how to recognize the times!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Chu Ming silently thought to himself. If the Thousand Demon Palace had insisted on not withdrawing, he wouldn't mind annihilating the entire palace.

...

Time flew by, like a fleeting white colt passing a gap, and in the blink of an eye, it had been a year since the Demon Emperor attacked the Celestial Martial Continent and Chu Ming flattened the Restricted Area.

In the deep winter, the Celestial Realm was covered in snow, appearing endless and murderous, with peaks seeming to connect with heaven, and the entire Celestial Realm was extremely quiet.

Since Chu Ming became the strongest in the Celestial Martial Continent, the Celestial Realm has undergone earth-shattering changes, subtly, the fortune of the Celestial Travel Sect has been steadily increasing.

Half a year ago, Qingxuan King stepped into the Life and Death Realm, becoming a High Tier King, and the Sect Leader of Celestial Travel Sect, Yan Nanxing, also advanced to the Half-step Life and Death Realm King's Realm.

Throughout the Celestial Martial Continent, in this year, countless vitality has emerged; Chu Ming and the older generation of prodigies have gradually retreated, while a new generation of prodigies has sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.
