Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor

"Not going through this Ninth Tribulation, my Nine Revolutions Undying Body will never be perfect!" The Death Emperor's face was indifferent, his eyes overlooking this world, with a hint of ambition and desire growing within.

The leaders of the human race on the Celestial Martial Continent were undoubtedly the Emperor of Creation and Emperor of Destruction. Although the Evil Wind Emperor had resurrected, with his power, he could only be considered half a leader at best.

Born with the Nine Revolutions Undying Body, the Death Emperor was naturally unwilling to remain beneath others. Only by experiencing the Ninth Tribulation and perfecting the Nine Revolutions Undying Body would he be qualified to contend with the Emperor of Creation and Emperor of Destruction.

"The war in the Western Hundred Domains is tight. The Emperor of Creation and Emperor of Destruction seem to be overwhelmed. I wonder when we will strike?"

The Bloodthirsty King's face showed a hint of concern as he asked cautiously.

"When it is necessary for me to act, I will naturally do so. You may leave now!" The Death Emperor flicked the black and red robe on his body, his face expressionless as he issued the dismissal order.

"Yes, Master!"

The Bloodthirsty King bowed, seemingly wanting to say more, but ultimately swallowed his words.

After the Bloodthirsty King left the Blood Red Divine Hall, the Death Emperor's expression suddenly became extremely somber, no longer as casual as before.

"Hmph, already trying to probe my recession period. Truly ignorant of life and death!"

Thinking about the Bloodthirsty King's words just now, the Death Emperor snorted coldly, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. Except for his closest confidants, nobody knew that he would inevitably fall into a significant period of weakness after each tribulation. If anyone with malicious intent learned about it, he would undoubtedly be placed in a dangerous situation.

"If there were an Undying Tree, I would have at least ninety percent confidence in passing the Ninth Tribulation. Unfortunately, the Undying Tree is in the hands of the Evil Wind Emperor. Trying to seize the Undying Tree from him is like pulling a tooth from a tiger!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The Death Emperor frowned, knowing well the temperament of the Evil Wind Emperor. In the Evil Wind Emperor's eyes, besides the Emperor of Creation and Emperor of Destruction, he looked down on other emperors and kings. After all, the Evil Wind Emperor was a figure from the Ancient Era, seeing them all as juniors.

It was virtually impossible to obtain the Undying Tree from the Evil Wind Emperor.

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Celestial Realm, Chaos Heaven!

Countless air currents swept through the heavens and earth, two figures madly colliding like two meteors. Ordinary people couldn't see their trajectories, only vaguely noticing two light shadows. The spiritual power of heaven and earth in the void had long been disrupted, resembling a terrifying storm sweeping through the stars.

"Hmph! Illusionary Demon Undying Scripture!"

With one strike, the Phantom Demon King's body retreated frantically, his right hand suddenly blasting out. Like an Ancient Divine Mountain tearing through the void, countless black threads erupted from his fingertips. The surrounding space instantly dissolved when these lines appeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Phantom Demon King's arm trembled slightly. With each tremble, the entire void collapsed. In just a moment, Chu Ming was surrounded by a chaotic region.

Chu Ming's face suddenly stiffened. The Phantom Demon King's Illusionary Demon Undying Scripture was a top-tier secret martial art. When exerted to the extreme, it could instantly kill three Star Beasts. At the moment those black threads appeared, Chu Ming raised the Azure Sky Sword in his hand.

Boom!

"Blood Gang Explosion Flame Needle!"

Pu!

A scorching light pierced out from the Azure Sky Sword, staining the sky with blood, as if soaked in it. Fast, incredibly fast. This sword light seemed like a celestial strike from beyond, instantly colliding with the black threads.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two top-tier secret techniques clashed, transforming into a terrifying mist on the horizon, ethereal beyond compare. However, wherever the mist spread, everything turned to void.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A mighty force sent Chu Ming and the Phantom Demon King simultaneously retreating. The Phantom Demon King's eyes were so dark they seemed to drip water while Chu Ming's face remained emotionless. The Phantom Demon King was indeed formidable. If it were an average late-stage top-tier king, they would have fallen into a disadvantage long ago.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The aftermath of their battle did not cease, transforming into a horrifying tornado, sweeping through heaven and earth, crashing directly onto a towering mountain.

Rumble!

Their attacks were capable of leveling mountains and filling seas. Under this strike, the towering mountain turned into ruins, countless debris rolling down the peak.

"That is Life and Death Gorge."

Chu Ming gently touched the sword in his right hand, his eyes suddenly tightening because within the fragmented mountain, a corner of a milky white divine hall was exposed, radiating a faint halo.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Phantom Demon King naturally saw what Chu Ming saw. A gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and with a slight flicker, he disappeared in place, utterly disregarding Chu Ming and flying towards the ruptured Life and Death Gorge.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming followed closely. When he arrived at Life and Death Gorge, he found the original peaks of Life and Death Gorge had already been shattered, countless debris rolling inward frantically. The martial artists here were merely some Low Tier Martial Artists, staring at Life and Death Gorge in shock.

On the border of the Great Yan Kingdom, there were many legends about Life and Death Gorge. The most widely circulated was that Life and Death Gorge was split by a king in the Life and Death Realm. Because of this, the entire gorge was shrouded in a legendary aura. Now witnessing its collapse, many Low Tier Martial Artists were naturally excited.

"Look, who is that?"

A True Dao Martial Artist pointed to a black and red figure in the sky, exclaiming. The crowd followed his finger, seeing a blurry shadow piercing through the void. With their cultivation, they couldn't discern the person's level, only feeling like ants before him, facing imminent extinction.

"If you don't want to die, get lost!"

Boom!

Looking at the surrounding Low Tier Martial Artists, the Phantom Demon King's eyes flashed with disdain. He shouted coldly; the terrifying sound waves instantly echoed in the martial artists' hearts, shaking them to their core, staring at the suddenly appearing middle-aged man in shock.

"At least a Realm of Transcendence expert, or perhaps... a Life and Death Realm king?!"

The Low Tier Martial Artists around Life and Death Gorge dared not linger, fleeing to the distance. Even so, many martial artists still saw the milky white hue in the rubble of Life and Death Gorge.

Boom!

Chu Ming tore through the void, his eyes scanning the surroundings, vaguely seeing countless sword shadows dancing in his gaze. Staring at Life and Death Gorge, Chu Ming couldn't help but be nostalgic. Back then, he crossed this gorge using Beihua Sect's spaceship, feeling its mystery.

Seeing it now as a king in the Life and Death Realm, Life and Death Gorge was far more complex than simply being split by the Sword King of the Life and Death Realm.

"I never expected that the legend was true!"
