Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 890 - 889: Wild Dragon Association

A brilliant white sword aura erupted from Chu Ming's sword, like a sun rapidly falling from the sky, melting the winter snow in the silent void!

This strike, augmented by the Infinite Sword Body and the explosive force of the Fierce Sun Spring Snow, carried astonishing power. In the void, a faint black aura spread!

Boom!

The collision of two forces was like countless planets exploding at once, turning white wind waves into a storm, sweeping towards the depths of the starry sky, shaking heaven and earth!

Pfft...

Amidst the turmoil, Lei Ming staggered back, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood mid-air, his face pale and weak!

This time, it was not just a simple wound; Lei Ming was now bruised and battered, with barely any intact skin left on his body!

Boom!

Lei Ming retreated quickly, but Chu Ming advanced even faster, as if the wind was under his feet, covering several hundred meters in one step, arriving before Lei Ming in an instant!

"Hand over your storage ring!"

Chu Ming commanded indisputably, his tone extremely indifferent!

Lei Ming's face was terrifyingly gloomy. If at first, he thought Chu Ming was bluffing, after this brief encounter, he acknowledged Chu Ming's strength. Among the newcomers, Chu Ming could at least rank in the top ten, maybe even contend for the top five!

"How about I give you some important information, and you let me go?"

Lei Ming asked indignantly.

"Speak!"

Chu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, his voice cold as ice!

"In the Blood Moon Secret Forest, there is a relic rumored to contain a sacred artifact!"

Forced, Lei Ming revealed this information, thinking that in the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm, it wasn't much of a secret anymore, with many already knowing about it!

"Hand over your storage ring, and you can leave now!"

Chu Ming maintained his indifferent tone.

"You!!!"

Anger flashed in Lei Ming's eyes. He had revealed the information solely to safeguard his storage ring, but Chu Ming seemed immovable, determined to get the ring!

"Take it!"

Lei Ming removed the storage ring from his right hand and tossed it to Chu Ming, who caught it with an outstretched hand!

Whoosh!

Throwing out the storage ring, Lei Ming's figure vanished, turning into a flash of lightning streaking across the sky!

"His storage ring indeed contained quite a few good things!"

Using his soul power, Chu Ming scanned Lei Ming's storage ring and discovered it was filled with millions of lower-grade spirit crystals and even tens of thousands of middle-grade spirit crystals!

Most importantly, in Lei Ming's storage ring, Chu Ming found thirteen Emperor Level lower-grade Elemental Power Grass and five Emperor Level middle-grade Elemental Power Grass, though not a single Emperor Level upper-grade one!

"Not a bad haul. Perhaps it's worth visiting the Blood Moon Secret Forest, where there must be quite a few Sealed Saint Level geniuses!"

Thinking of the Elemental Power Grass on those Sealed Saint Level geniuses, a spark of eagerness lit up in Chu Ming's eyes—they were genuine contribution points!

As for the sacred artifact, it wasn't a necessity for Chu Ming; obtaining it would be great, but he wouldn't force it if he couldn't.

Moreover, if he obtained a sacred artifact in the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm, he would likely become a target in the Outer Palace. After all, no Outer Palace disciple was known to possess a sacred artifact!

Even in the Inner Palace, sacred artifacts were rare, held only by a few top Inner Palace disciples!

Whoosh!

With this in mind, Chu Ming immediately flew in the direction Lei Ming had left. He did not know the exact location of the Blood Moon Secret Forest, but he assumed many did!

Sure enough, after flying several thousand miles, Chu Ming encountered a group of Sealed King Level geniuses flying together in one direction!

Boom!

Chu Ming's foot stepped forward, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped this group of Sealed King Level geniuses. The sky darkened, and they felt an overwhelming pressure approaching, immediately stopping in their tracks, shivering in fear!

"Senior, we are members of the Wild Dragon Association. May we ask why you are blocking our path?"

A pale young man dressed in white, who had recently recovered from an injury, stepped out from among the Sealed King Level geniuses. His aura was still weak from the wounds!

"Wild Dragon Association? Never heard of it!"

Chu Ming replied indifferently. With a slight move of his soul power, he detected that most of these Sealed Saint Level geniuses had cultivation at the First Heaven of the Emperor Dao, with a few at the Second Heaven!

"Senior must be jesting. In the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm, our Wild Dragon Association is one of the Five Great Powers, boasting four Sealed Saint Level geniuses!"

The young man's face stiffened slightly, forcing a smile. He mentioned the Wild Dragon Association merely to intimidate Chu Ming. The association did hold great power in the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm, and generally, few would dare provoke them!

After all, facing an assault by four Sealed Saint Level geniuses, even a fellow Sealed Saint Level would be defeated!

"Four Sealed Saint Level geniuses?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Chu Ming's face. He did feel somewhat impressed—four Sealed Saint Level geniuses among the newcomers could indeed dominate an area!

Suppressing his surprise, Chu Ming asked calmly, "Are you heading to the Blood Moon Secret Forest?"

"Yes, we heard a relic has appeared in the Blood Moon Secret Forest, so we're heading there to try our luck!"

The young man in white laughed awkwardly. Despite having encountered many Sealed Saint Level geniuses, he still felt pressured before Chu Ming!

"Do you know where the Blood Moon Secret Forest is located?"

Chu Ming continued to inquire!

"The Blood Moon Secret Forest is in the canyon east of the Black Dragon Pool, where the trees are entirely red, hence the name!"

The young man in white answered cautiously.

"I won't take your lives today, but hand over your storage rings, and you may leave!"

Chu Ming said coldly. There might be fewer Elemental Power Grass on the Sealed King Level geniuses, but it was better than nothing, and an excellent opportunity to earn contribution points. How could he pass it up?

It was foreseeable that once the newcomer battle ended, he would need to complete numerous tasks to earn contribution points!

"Sir, we are from the Wild Dragon Association. Aren't you being a bit excessive?"

The young man in white, angered, dropped his respectful demeanor and retorted coldly.

Mentioning the Wild Dragon Association usually earned some respect, even from Sealed Saint Level geniuses. He had mentioned it repeatedly to deter Chu Ming, but Chu Ming dared to rob them of their storage rings!

Boom!

Chu Ming spoke no more. In the path of cultivation, strength reigns supreme. Arguments aren't made with words but with fists!
