Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor

The Phantom Demon King was indeed a top-tier King, specializing in the path of magic. His soul and mind hardly had any weaknesses. Therefore, in just an instant, the Phantom Demon King broke free from the dark shadow's influence.

Boom!

The Phantom Demon King's eyes burst with two terrifying rays of light, one white and one black, tearing through the void, instantly freezing the space before him.

Boom!

The dark shadow's right claw struck the frozen void, instantly halted. Although it was just a moment, the body technique of a top-tier King was exceedingly terrifying, allowing the Phantom Demon King to rapidly escape.

"Hmph, courting death!"

Seeing the Phantom Demon King attempting to flee, the dark shadow coldly snorted. His pitch-black claws gouged two marks along the void, instantly solidifying it. A black restriction enveloped the entire hall, leaving the Phantom Demon King with no escape.

"You've forced my hand!"

Realizing he couldn't escape, the Phantom Demon King knew he had to fight desperately today. With a cold shout, he clashed fiercely with the dark shadow. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

...

Sigh!

In another hall, Chu Ming's soul broke free from the Inheritance Space, exhaling lightly. At this moment, the method for cultivating the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist was deeply imprinted in his mind.

The Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist, a high-tier secret martial art, could harness the power of heaven and earth to condense the dragon elephant power during attacks. For example, the Power Battle King had cultivated the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist to the Transformation Realm, allowing him to condense the illusions of nine elephants and nine dragons in his attacks.

Currently, Chu Ming had just begun to understand the Nine Elephant Nine Dragon Fist, but in the Inheritance Space, he had seen others demonstrate it countless times. With his strong enlightenment, he could now barely condense the power of three elephants and three dragons.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming scanned the entire hall, finding nothing else of interest. He then turned and entered another passage. The ruins of the Ancient Emperor Xi Yan's sect might appear as just a hall from the outside, but within, it was interconnected like a small world.

...

"Magic Nether King!"

The magical aura surrounding the Phantom Demon King exploded as he shouted coldly. Instantly, a dark magical beast manifested in the magic domain around him. The beast's claws, filled with terrifying, icy killing intent, pressed towards the dark shadow like an ancient divine mountain, tearing through the void and annihilating stars.

Seeing the oppressive claw from the sky, the dark shadow let out a sinister laugh. His right claw opened slightly, releasing a strange blue netherworld fire. Under the influence of this blue fire, the void twisted and deformed, terrifying beyond measure.

"Taste the power of the Netherworld Fire, hahahaha..."

Boom!

In an instant, the Netherworld Fire clashed with the descending claw, creating a terrifying shockwave. The void turned to nothing, falling into complete chaos.

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed, especially jarring in the space. The Phantom Demon King's face changed drastically. With his keen vision, he saw terrifying cracks spreading across the dark magical beast where it met the Netherworld Fire.

Boom!

The Phantom Demon King retreated instantly. Hastily, he attacked again, his arms coiling as two tornadoes, one black and one white, burst from the void. The path of magic and slaughter, overflowing with slaughterous asuras climbing in the void.

"Twin Dragon Cloud Destruction!"

Boom! Boom!

The stars dimmed. With this attack, the Phantom Demon King changed mountains and rivers, the cosmos turned ordinary. Between clouds and mist, two dragon shadows, one black and one white, soared through the sky.

"Interesting!"

The dark shadow demon's contempt faded slightly, revealing chilling teeth. He then took out a black broken sword from his bosom and, without any infusion of power, hurled it directly at the Phantom Demon King!

Boom!

The material of the black broken sword was unknown. Its sharpness and ability to channel spiritual power were unmatched. Almost instantly, it severed the terrifying black and white twin dragons.

"The broken sword of Ancient Emperor Xi Yan?!"

The Phantom Demon King's face turned pale, glaring at the terrifying broken sword in the sky, his teeth gritted, eyes seething with flames.

"Back then, Ancient Emperor Xi Yan broke his sword to suppress me. I thought it was a pity; now, it seems it still has some use. Give up..."

The dark shadow demon emanated an evil aura, continuing his sinister persuasion. His entire body, almost instantly, lunged at the Phantom Demon King.

The Phantom Demon King's eyes grew heavy. Although he had the ability of blood rebirth, the dark shadow demon's goal was not to destroy his body but to seize his soul. Thus, the ability of blood rebirth seemed almost useless here.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Phantom Demon King was repeatedly pushed back. Though the dark shadow demon had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, he was once a peerless emperor. Even with only a fraction of his power left, he was still beyond the Phantom Demon King's ability to contend with. Moreover, the dark shadow demon's understanding and application of secret techniques far exceeded the Phantom Demon King's.

Boom!

The starry sky trembled, the entire hall lightly vibrating. Seeing that the surrounding restriction was unscathed, the Phantom Demon King's heart sank. Initially, he thought the terrifying aftershocks of their battle should be enough to shatter the restriction. However, it was now clear that this was merely wishful thinking.

"Hmph! Illusionary Demon Undying Scripture!"

After one strike, the Phantom Demon King retreated madly. His right hand suddenly struck, like an ancient divine mountain tearing through the void. Countless black threads surged from his fingertips, dissolving the surrounding space the moment they appeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Phantom Demon King's arm trembled slightly. With each tremble, the void collapsed further. In mere moments, a chaotic region formed around the dark shadow demon.

"Perfect timing!"

Seeing the power of the Illusionary Demon Undying Scripture, the dark shadow demon's eyes burst with dazzling light.

Boom!

"Immortal Demon Emperor Finger!"

The dark shadow demon revealed a ghastly pallor, demonic qi rolling over his body, rapidly converging in the air into a white broken finger. The starry sky trembled, the cosmos shattered. This broken finger seemed otherworldly, with blood seas churning into monstrous blood waves.

The Immortal Demon Emperor Finger was also a top-tier secret martial art. Furthermore, the dark shadow demon's understanding of such techniques clearly surpassed that of the Phantom Demon King!

Countless threads in the sky swiftly entwined the white broken finger. Each thread's pull was enough to destroy mountains, yet the white broken finger remained unmoved, leaving no trace or mark.

Boom!

The white broken finger trembled violently, the black threads around it snapped instantly!

"Pfft..."

With a backlash, the Phantom Demon King spewed blood in an instant.
