Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor

The Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast looked at Chu Ming with a surprised expression. The title of Tianjiao is not just empty words; even in ancient times, it was an extraordinary existence. He knew Chu Ming was exceptionally talented. However, he never expected Chu Ming would be a Tianjiao, which meant that Chu Ming could at least attain the title of emperor in the future.

"The outcome of today, who lives and who dies, is still uncertain!"

Chu Ming said calmly, without showing any emotion on his face. The sword aura in his hand flickered, and the Azure Sky Sword emanated a cold sword light, now appearing in his hand. The sword aura swirled, resembling a coiled venomous snake.

"Kekekeke... Those I, Yega Nan, wish to kill have never survived."

The Demon King Yega Nan coldly laughed, extending his right hand. A terrifying dark barrier descended like the night, instantly enveloping the entire hall in chaos.

Boom!

"Ten Directions Demon Flame Domain!"

Countless terrifying demon flames spewed out from within, twisting the void. Inside the barrier, except for Chu Ming and the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast, everything else was burned clean.

"Let's attack together!"

The Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast and Chu Ming exchanged a glance. Then, the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast spoke in a deep voice.

"No problem!"

Chu Ming nodded slightly, raising his right arm. The Azure Sky Sword erupted with blazing light, distorting the space. Three terrifying, somewhat ethereal sword auras tore out of the Azure Sky Sword, like three suns slashing out, illuminating the dark cosmos.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Heaven-Burying Sword!"

The Heaven-Burying Sword is a high-level secret martial art. Though its power is slightly inferior to the Blood Gang Explosion Flame Needle, it is not much weaker. The most important factor was that Chu Ming wielded the Azure Sky Sword, a top-tier heavenly-grade divine weapon.

Boom!

Following Chu Ming's sword strike, the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast's body trembled slightly. A terrifying force of trembling transmitted from its arm. Then, its right hand transformed into a dragon claw, emitting fierce cyan light. Dominant cyan light manifested in the air as a dragon shadow, fiercely blasting towards the dark barrier.

"Cyan Dragon Immortal Fist!"

Boom!

Crack!

Puff, puff, puff...

Demon flames splattered around. As Chu Ming and the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast unleashed their moves, the dark barrier set up by Yega Nan was instantly shattered. However, Yega Nan's expression remained unchanged. His eyes transformed sharply into black and white, like two whirlpools, entrancing onlookers.

"Path of Magic from the Phantom Demon King?"

Chu Ming realized that since Yega Nan had refined the soul of the Phantom Demon King, he naturally absorbed the martial arts of the Phantom Demon King. Now, Yega Nan wielded the Path of Magic as if it were second nature.

Boom!

But, Yega Nan miscalculated; Chu Ming's soul power had reached the strength that could attain the title of emperor. His Path of Magic had absolutely no effect on Chu Ming.

Crack!

A crisp sound was heard as the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast roared angrily. Its entire body swelled suddenly, transforming into its demonic beast form, but significantly smaller than when Chu Ming first saw it.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast's sharp claws turned into an Ancient Divine Mountain, slamming towards Yega Nan. The space shattered, as if stars were falling, and terrifying sound waves reached the deepest parts of the cosmos.

Boom!

Yega Nan's body surrounded by demonic qi, a black demon fist launched from within, like a cannonball, meeting the terrifying claws.

Their clash instantly destroyed the palace's defense array. The residual power rippled away rapidly in waves.

Rumble!

The ground sank, dust rising wildly. The entire hall collapsed at an alarming speed again. The surrounding walls crumbled, rolling outward with inertia.

However, given the strength of the three people's bodies, even if the entire ruins of the Ancient Sect collapsed, it had little impact on them.

...

"What's happening?!"

"Why do I feel the ground moving?!"

"Something's wrong, this place is going to collapse. Let's get out of here quickly!"

Boom!

People exploring the ruins of the Ancient Sect went into a frenzy. They had just entered and hadn't begun to explore, when the entire ruins started collapsing. But they had no time to think; they had to escape.

Boom!

From the outside, the Life and Death Gorge collapsed from the middle. Countless martial artists fled in panic, with lingering fear on their faces.

"Look, who is that?!"

A martial artist looked up, shouting in shock at the sight in the sky.

Following his finger, everyone looked up. They saw three terrifying figures colliding wildly in midair, tearing the void apart, turning the entire sky into chaos.

"I see the Blood Sword King, but who are the other two?"

An emperor of the Life and Death Realm said coldly.

"The middle-aged man in black and red robes should be the second disciple of the Death Emperor, the Phantom Demon King. As for the beast with the dragon head and qilin body, it must be the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast."

An elderly man in white robes said indifferently. The crowd looked towards the voice. Seeing the elder's attire, their faces showed respect.

"It turns out to be Elder Xu from the Life and Death Palace, honored to meet you!"

The surrounding martial artists approached continuously, exchanging pleasantries with Elder Xu. He responded coldly, barely acknowledging them. Elder Xu held a high position in the Life and Death Palace and was a high-tier emperor. He naturally disdained the flattery around him.

"The Blood Sword King and the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast are joining forces to kill the Phantom Demon King. It's reckless; don't they know that the Phantom Demon King is the Death Emperor's second disciple?"

A middle-aged man in black robes sneered coldly.

Though the Death Emperor wasn't particularly defensive, Chu Ming and the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast's joint attack on the Phantom Demon King blatantly challenged him. If he learned of this, he would surely react severely.

"Perhaps it's for the Ancient Emperor Xi Yan's inheritance?"

A martial artist speculated. As soon as he finished, the scene fell silent, becoming eerily quiet.

All present martial artists had ulterior motives. If the Phantom Demon King obtained the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Xi Yan, they too would fight for it if they had the strength of the Blood Sword King and the Cyan Dragon Qilin Beast.

"That's odd, I've seen the Phantom Demon King fight before. He wasn't this strong, and his fighting style has changed. It's like..."

"Like a demon!"

Before a mid-tier emperor could speak, Elder Xu squinted his eyes and said coldly.

"What?!"

"Could it be that the Phantom Demon King has been possessed by the Demon King?!"

"Don't talk nonsense. The Phantom Demon King is top-tier. To possess him would need an emperor-level strength, and even if possessed, what use would it be?"

The surrounding martial artists debated, but they kept their distance, watching carefully.
