Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

"Blood Gang Explosion Flame Needle!"

Boom!

A dazzling red light burst from Chu Ming's Azure Sky Sword, instantly tearing through the void. The world fell silent, time seemed to freeze, as if only that terrifying sword aura remained.

Pfft pfft pfft...

Under the Blood Gang Explosion Flame Needle, the Nine Dragon Nine Elephant phantom behind the Power Battle King shattered instantly, turning into countless golden afterglows, gradually dissipating in the air.

Pfft!

Along with the shattered phantom, the Power Battle King's body also broke apart. The Blood Gang Explosion Flame Needle was too powerful, and even though the Power Battle King had the ability of blood rebirth, the needle eradicated the vitality of his blood in an instant.

"Re... lease..."

The Power Battle King's eyes lost their luster. In that moment, it seemed he briefly regained vitality. He murmured softly, and then his entire body emitted a blaze of light, drifting directly towards Chu Ming. Chu Ming tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Boom!

In an instant, Chu Ming was enveloped by the golden light. Immediately, his soul seemed to drift into an empty white void.

Crack!

A giant titan tore through the white space, striding out from the other side as if it didn't see Chu Ming. It began to practice its fist techniques, and the terrifying golden light tore through the void, instantly covering the sky.

"This is... the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist?!"

A flash of emotion crossed Chu Ming's eyes. Even if he were slow, he would now understand that this white void was the Martial Arts Inheritance Space of the Power Battle King. Naturally, the inherited martial art was the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist.

Boom! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

After the titan completed a round of the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist, it didn't stop but seemed to enter a loop, performing the fist techniques over and over again.

Chu Ming did not waste time. He immediately focused his energy, intent on studying the titan's execution of the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist.

Although the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist is not a Top Tier Secret Technique, it is a High Tier Secret Technique. For a Body Refining Martial Artist, it is a treasure, especially since Chu Ming has already cultivated the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique. Once the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist is combined with the Hidden Dragon Blood Formation Technique, the resulting power would certainly be more than a mere addition.

Boom!

Following the titan's movements, Chu Ming also swung his fists, producing a roaring wind as if there were elephant trumpets and dragon roars, shattering mountains and splitting rocks, darkening the sky.

...

"Hmph, the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Xi Yan will ultimately be mine!"

The Phantom Demon King arrived at a gray hall. In the center of the hall was a mass of black soul energy that resembled a vast ocean, far beyond what a Top Tier King could bear.

Boom!

Just as the Phantom Demon King eagerly approached the mass of soul energy, a black soul hurricane erupted from the energy, sweeping across the starry sky.

"Heh heh heh, after tens of thousands of years, someone has finally come. I can finally get out!"

A chilling voice came from the mass of soul energy, and a vague colossal figure emerged from it, staring coldly at the Phantom Demon King with eyes full of mockery.

"You're not the Ancient Emperor Xi Yan?!"

The Phantom Demon King's face grew tense, maximum vigilance rising in his heart. His eyes blazed with the Path of Magic, forming layers of defense in front of him.

"I am not that Ancient Emperor Xi Yan. He sealed me here for tens of thousands of years. I'll first take some interest from you!"

As he spoke, the black shadow lunged forward. The terrifying black soul claw imprint turned solid, resembling an ancient divine mountain, smashing toward the Phantom Demon King!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under this claw strike, the layers of defense the Phantom Demon King just set up shattered like paper, the claw print advancing without losing momentum, approaching the Phantom Demon King in an instant. His eyes widened in shock, his body immediately retreating as two intense beams of light erupted from his eyes.

"Black and White Dual Wheel Kill!"

The Phantom Demon King coldly snorted, crossing his hands in front of his chest. Two terrifying vortices, one black and one white, spontaneously formed. The world dimmed, as if countless galaxies and stars fell, the cosmos losing its luster in that moment.

Boom! Boom!

The black and white vortex light wheels, one solid and one void, tore through the void like two terrifying beams, appearing before the black shadow in an instant, filled with a horrifying ripping force that captured the mind.

Boom!

The black shadow's claw print clashed with the two light wheels, generating a terrifying shockwave that swept outward. The Phantom Demon King's face changed, his body involuntarily retreating several steps, staring in shock at the colossal black shadow.

"A sealed emperor-level strongman?!"

The Phantom Demon King's voice trembled. Although the clash just now lasted only an instant, he clearly felt the black shadow's strength. That shadow was just a remnant soul yet could match him. In life, it must have been an emperor-level strongman.

Moreover, from the shadow's words just now, it became clear that it had been sealed here for tens of thousands of years by the Ancient Emperor Xi Yan. Even the Ancient Emperor couldn't kill it, only seal it, using the power of time to wear it down.

"Emperor-level?"

The massive black shadow, resembling a living demon, showed a hint of disdain on its face, then coldly said, "In my prime, I killed more than one emperor-level strongman, including the likes of the Ancient Emperor Xi Yan!"

"If you obediently give me your body, I can give you a quick death, otherwise, you will wish you were dead!"

The black shadow mocked, its cold eyes fixed on the Phantom Demon King. Seeing the Phantom Demon King in disarray, a hint of delight flashed across the shadow's face.

In its prime, just as it claimed, it killed more than one emperor-level strongman. However, it had been sealed for tens of thousands of years by the Ancient Emperor Xi Yan. Despite the long lifespan of demons, the erosion of time had weakened it to the extreme. If the Phantom Demon King hadn't entered the ruins, it would have completely disappeared within a few thousand more years.

So now, though it had the aura of an emperor-level strongman, in terms of cultivation, it was not much stronger than the Phantom Demon King.

Boom!

"Give yourself to me!"

The black shadow spoke tempting words, its right claw covering the sky, transforming into a terrifying black shadow, again striking at the Phantom Demon King. The surrounding space became heavily constrained, thick as water, making even a slight movement extremely difficult for the Phantom Demon King.

"Am I going to die here today?"

The focus in the Phantom Demon King's eyes gradually faded, his face pale, enveloped in an aura of despair.

"No! No! No!!!"

"I absolutely cannot die here!!"

"I still want to be crowned emperor, to dominate the continent!!!"
