Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 817 - 816: Snatch!
At this moment, Ling Ming's appearance was extremely sinister, especially accompanied by the sound of him chewing spirit bodies, making the entire scene appear quite creepy.
Boom!
Having "eaten" hundreds of spirit bodies, the deficiency of spiritual power within Ling Ming seemed to be greatly replenished. However, the thunder tribulation in the sky once again struck towards him.
The elder manifested by the thunder tribulation had eyes devoid of any emotional hues, filled with indifference, which sent shivers down one's spine.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"You don't want me to live, but I choose to live!!!"
Ling Ming gritted his teeth and coldly snorted, as terrifying spiritual power transformed into a dragon and tiger-like roar, frantically resisting the thunder tribulation in the sky.
In just a few short breaths, several hundred thunder tribulations blasted down from the thunder cloud, leaving the entire valley in ruins. A quarter of the spirit bodies were similarly reduced; half of them were eaten by Ling Ming to replenish his spiritual power consumption.
Another quarter was obliterated by the thunder tribulation in the sky.
Numerous spirit pearls floated in the valley, one must know that buried under the thunder cloud, a quarter of the valley's spirit bodies, numbering three to four thousand, were annihilated. These thousands of spirit pearls were unowned.
At this moment, such a large number of spirit pearls hovered before numerous emperors, each one's eyes burning with heat. For a moment, they completely forgot that Ling Ming was undergoing tribulation nearby.
"All mine, all mine! Hahaha!!!"
A human emperor could no longer withstand the temptation and rushed out from concealment, grabbed dozens of spirit pearls, and began placing them into his storage ring.
The other emperors did not stop him but watched quietly. The reason wasn't that they didn't want the spirit pearls but feared angering Ling Ming.
Although Ling Ming was undergoing tribulation, his strength had already stepped into the higher emperor realm. No matter whom he wanted to deal with among those present, three moves would suffice. They understood the principle of targeting the one who stands out.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In just two breaths, that emperor had already collected over a hundred spirit pearls. However, in everyone's eyes, Ling Ming was deeply immersed in the thunder cloud, having no time to spare for these spirit pearls.
"Leave those spirit pearls and roll!"
Swish!
Finally, an emperor could no longer hold back, a thunderous shout rang out, and suddenly a terrifying, towering figure tore out from the void, punching that human emperor flying.
It was Li Qianfan!
Li Qianfan looked at the spirit pearls in the valley with greed. If he could gain a thousand of these spirit pearls, he would have a great chance to advance further, but breaking through to a higher emperor realm was unrealistic.
"Wow..."
The human emperor's name was Seven-Star King. In the outside world, he was a top-tier King who had fortuitously passed the Withered Sea, which had given him his current emperor-level strength.
His strength naturally couldn't compare to Li Qianfan. Half his body was directly obliterated, blood mist scattering, it's conceivable that a few more punches and Seven-Star King would surely fall.
"Humph!"
Seven-Star King activated the Life and Death Origin, restoring his injuries in the blink of an eye, but his face was pale, breath unstable, and the consumed Life and Death Origin couldn't be restored.
Though Seven-Star King felt aggrieved, he understood that he was no match for Li Qianfan. If Li Qianfan wanted to kill him, it would almost certainly happen instantaneously.
"For you!"
Seven-Star King took out a handful of spirit pearls from his storage ring, over a hundred, and threw them all to Li Qianfan. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Li Qianfan instantly caught the spirit pearls, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, coldly shouting: "Get lost!"
Seven-Star King didn't leave the valley. After all, with so many spirit pearls in the valley, he could collect a portion and then leave immediately. He didn't believe others would give up on the valley's spirit pearls to chase after him.
"Everyone, get lost!"
"Grab them!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seeing Li Qianfan take action, the other experts couldn't sit still either. Grabbing more spirit pearls now increases the chances of obtaining the Pearl King later.
Fire Cloud Ancestor and Demon God King simultaneously acted, with terrifying power overwhelming the sun and sky, golden light shaking the world, fire waves astonishing the heavens. They were already top-tier intermediate emperors, now several times stronger compared to a month ago, comparable to Demon Blood Horn King incarnations.
The demon faction similarly had two intermediate emperors, but clearly, they had just ascended, their combat power not very strong, and were on par with Li Hen.
Boom!
Chu Ming lightly tapped his right foot, instantly transforming into a sword light, moving through the valley, frantically collecting spirit pearls.
"Put down your spirit pearls, and you can leave!"
A clear voice sounded from behind Blood King, his pupils shrunk, mumbling: "Sword Emperor?"
Blood King was one of the two intermediate emperors on the demon side, at this moment, Chu Ming's whole body's aura tightly locked onto him, causing a sense of despair to rise in his heart.
He understood clearly that even between intermediate emperors, there are differences, but what he didn't expect was the gap between him and Sword Emperor was so large, he couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.
"For you!"
Blood King took the spirit pearls he had obtained from his storage ring and threw them in front of Chu Ming, then turned to continue looting spirit pearls.
Looking at the hundreds of spirit pearls in front of him, a trace of satisfaction flashed across Chu Ming's face.
Slaying Blood King wasn't difficult for him, but with not many spirit pearls left in the valley, he needed to obtain as many spirit pearls as possible. Spending time on Blood King wasn't worthwhile.
The entire valley was in chaos, the sound of thunder tribulation collapsing in mid-air, combined with the sound of attacks in the valley, intertwined, deafening.
Beneath the thunder cloud, Ling Ming dragged his weary body, watching the crowd looting in the valley, a trace of eerie color flashing in his eyes.
"Jie jie jie, grab, grab..."
Ling Ming laughed eerily but then had to once again confront the endless thunder tribulation.
"In just one incense stick, the thunder tribulation will end, and then there will be a good show to watch..."
Ling Ming muttered...
...
In a matter of dozens of breaths, the spirit pearls in the valley were snatched clean by the various experts, of course, most ended up in the hands of Li Qianfan, Fire Cloud Ancestor, Demon God King, and Chu Ming. As for the demon side, although they had two intermediate emperors, their strength wasn't strong, together holding less than half of Li Qianfan's spirit pearls.
"Sword Emperor, today I must kill you!!"
Li Qianfan dropped a harsh word, then returned to the darkness, silently absorbing the spirit pearls.
Fire Cloud Ancestor and Demon God King, upon seeing this, didn't speak. They had seen Chu Ming's strength. The strength he had shown was no weaker than theirs, so Li Qianfan killing Chu Ming was practically unrealistic.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
One by one, the emperors once again hid in the shadows.
