Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 855 - 854: Gratitude

Splurt!

However, the bloody hand formed by the Forbidden Blood Ring had just collided with the shadow of the Ninth Layer Nine Nether Lamp when it suddenly exploded, and the soundless and breathless blood rain flew towards all directions.

Boom!

Under the shadow of the Ninth Layer Nine Nether Lamp, the Blood God's body was torn apart, flesh splattering everywhere, and amidst the blur, a blood-colored True Spirit shot out from the blood mist, accompanied by the Blood God's shrill cries.

"Kid, you can't kill me. If you kill me, the people from the Black Dragon lair won't spare you!!!"

The Blood God's angry yet fearful roar echoed through the starry sky, making both the Guo Family Guard and the star thieves of the Black Dragon lair turn their heads in shock.

"Is this kid... really that strong?!"

The Third Elder's mouth twitched slightly. Even though Chu Ming used the Lower Grade Imperial Artifact Nine Nether Lamp to kill the Blood God's body, the Blood God himself also utilized the Lower Grade Imperial Artifact Forbidden Blood Ring, which still spoke volumes.

"Brother Chu, you're a freak!"

Yang Yuan finally put down a sentence after holding it back for a long time.

Seeing Chu Ming shatter the Blood God's body, the Guo Family rejoiced, but the faces of the many star thieves changed drastically.

"How is it possible?! The team leader actually lost!!"

"Impossible!! Impossible!!"

"With the Lower Grade Imperial Artifact, the team leader's combat power is comparable to an Emperor Dao Third Layer expert, yet he still lost?!"

"What to do?! What to do?!"

A group of star thieves was shocked and fearful; ever since they became star thieves, their heads were essentially tied to their belts, but when the day truly arrived, their hearts were unwilling to accept it.

"Won't spare me? Then let them come!"

Chu Ming's face was calm, as the Nine Nether Lamp once again transformed into layered illusions and blasted towards the Blood God's True Spirit, shattering the azure dome, making stars tremble, rendering heaven and earth dark. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Splurt!

But as the Nine Nether Lamp descended, the Blood God's True Spirit was instantly crushed, turned into void, completely perished within the world.

"The team leader is dead!! Flee!!!"

"Quick, send the message to other teams!!"

"Run!!"

At the moment of the Blood God's demise, the surrounding star thieves went hysterical, madly fleeing toward the surrounding starry sky.

"Hurry, kill them all!"

The Third Elder's expression changed slightly, immediately shouting coldly at the nearby Guo Family Guard, while he too joined the fray, blasting peerless fist shadows around, killing a star thief one by one.

The Third Elder knew well that no star thief could be spared. Otherwise, once the Black Dragon lair learned that the Blood God died here, the Guo Family couldn't wash their hands off it. Any slight mistake would bring catastrophic disaster.

"Kill!!!"

The Guo Family Guard's morale soared as a myriad of Martial Arts blasted from their hands, converging into a dazzling pattern in the air.

Swish!

In mid-air, Chu Ming picked up the Blood God's Storage Ring and the Forbidden Blood Ring, putting them into his own Storage Ring, then joined the ranks in killing star thieves.

Swish!

"Floating Blood!"

A brilliant blood-colored Sword Aura erupted from the Azure Sky Sword, tearing through the void, instantly blasting toward the star thieves' Black Dragon Spaceship. As long as the ship was destroyed, these star thieves would have nowhere to run.

Rumble!

Ripping!

Explosions kept erupting; array barriers were shattered by Chu Ming one after another, causing the Black Dragon Spaceship to totter.

Rumble!

"Nine Nether Soul-Extinction!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Nine Nether Lamp flew into mid-air, sprouting nine illusions, its terrifying aura shook the starry sky, impressively overwhelming.

Rumble!

The nine shadows of the Nine Nether Lamp simultaneously blasted out, tearing the void. The terrifying momentum instantly hit the Black Dragon Spaceship. After all, the Nine Nether Lamp is an Imperial Artifact; the power of this strike surpassed Floating Blood by over tenfold.

Rumble!

Crash!

The entire spaceship shattered instantly, turning into countless black substances floating in all directions. The torn-apart Black Dragon Spaceship plummeted straight toward the ground.

"Kill!!"

With the Black Dragon Spaceship's crash, the star thieves immediately lost their formations.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Chu Ming put away the Nine Nether Lamp, holding the Azure Sky Sword, the terrifying Sword Aura tearing through the void, seemingly growing eyes, blasting towards the surrounding star thieves.

Soon, the surrounding star thieves were basically wiped out, leaving only five or six stubbornly resisting.

"Brother Chu, leave the rest to them; let's head inside the spaceship first!"

Seeing that most of the star thieves were dealt with, the Third Elder flew in front of Chu Ming, saying humbly.

In the cosmos, power is king. Although Chu Ming's age didn't compare to his, his strength exceeded his, deserving his respect.

"Alright!"

Chu Ming nodded slightly; the remaining star thieves were just a dozen cats, something the Guo Family Guard could handle.

Chu Ming and the Third Elder returned to the command room of the Guo Family spaceship, sitting opposite each other.

"Although Brother Chu got on the spaceship early, this should be the first meeting between me and Chu Ming, right?"

The Third Elder poured Chu Ming a cup of tea, also holding one himself, placing it in front, speaking with some awkwardness.

He didn't know Chu Ming's strength. If he had known Chu Ming's strength exceeded his, he would have befriended Chu Ming earlier.

"That's right; I must thank the Third Elder for boarding the Guo Family spaceship!"

Chu Ming said calmly. His words of gratitude were sincere; if not for the Guo Family spaceship, he wouldn't know how long it would take to reach the Pegasus Star System, let alone safely pass through the Black Dragon lair, which was an uncertain factor.

"If we're talking gratitude, I should thank Brother Chu for generously saving us this time. If not for Brother Chu slaying the Blood God, my Guo Family's Second Miss would have fallen into the Blood God's hands, and her fate would be miserable!"

The Third Elder waved his hand, embarrassed, and then took a Storage Ring from his bosom, placing it in front of Chu Ming.

"This is a token of my appreciation, considered the reward for Brother Chu's intervention this time. Although it's not much, it represents my intention, and Brother Chu must not refuse!"

Chu Ming swept his Spiritual Sense through the Storage Ring's interior, finding neatly arranged piles of Lower Grade Spirit Crystals, totaling about sixty thousand.

"Then I shall accept graciously!"

Chu Ming did not refuse; for one, he indeed helped the Guo Family this time, deserving a reward. Secondly, he had just entered the cosmos and didn't have many Lower Grade Spirit Crystals. He was preparing to purchase an Imperial Treasure Sword upon reaching the nearby stars!

Seeing Chu Ming put away the Storage Ring, the Third Elder's eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction, and the two chatted idly for a while. The Third Elder kept trying to discreetly probe where Chu Ming came from, but Chu Ming, not foolish, consistently gave ambiguous answers, leaving the Third Elder perplexed.

"Third Elder, the remaining star thieves have all been killed, and the spaceship is ready to proceed!"

While Chu Ming and the Third Elder were chatting, Guo Feiming entered the command room, clasping his hands, respectfully reporting to the Third Elder.

"Good, then let's continue on!"

The Third Elder commanded without hesitation, though his heart continued to harbor a flicker of concern regarding whether other teams from the Black Dragon lair might detect the Blood God's death and come to investigate, potentially triggering another fierce battle.
