Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 832 - 831: A Tremendous Commotion

Boom!

With those words, the Demon Emperor's avatar no longer conversed with Chu Ming, turned around and crossed the void. The terrifying momentum made the galaxy tremble, and in an instant, it disappeared into the void.

"Hoo!"

After the Demon Emperor's avatar left, Chu Ming gently exhaled, turned around, and came to the Death Emperor's corpse, picking up his Storage Ring.

As for the Demon Blood Horn King, due to self-detonation, his body had long turned into a mist of blood, leaving only a solitary Storage Ring. Floating alone in the void, Chu Ming made a gentle gesture with his right hand and captured the Demon Blood Horn King's Storage Ring in his palm.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming merged into the void, without staying in place, flew toward the Black Iron Fortress. He now needed a quiet place to recover from his injuries and then check the spoils of his battle.

...

The Black Iron Fortress, within Chu Ming's palace.

"The damage of Floating Blood is indeed strong, but there are some areas that could still be improved!"

After a short while, Chu Ming's injuries were completely healed. He slowly opened his eyes, flashing a hint of astonishment.

The battle with the three, including the Death Emperor, made him realize his own strength. His combat power was even stronger than he had imagined.

Though still no match for the Emperor of Creation and Emperor of Destruction, he shouldn't be far from their level.

"Let's see what I've gained from this!"

Chu Ming pulled out two Storage Rings from his pocket, starting with the Death Emperor's. As soon as he opened it, his eyes flickered with a hint of shock. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

In the Death Emperor's Storage Ring, countless top-grade Spirit Stones piled up like small mountains. Chu Ming's Soul Power scanned roughly, estimating about seventy to eighty million, while upper-grade Spirit Stones numbered in the billions.

Buzz!

A flash of light in Chu Ming's hand revealed a pale red jade stone.

Boom!

As soon as Chu Ming's Soul Power entered the jade stone, it exploded, with countless red rays shooting out before him, gradually condensing into four blood-red large characters.

Descent of Death!

"Hoo!"

Chu Ming exhaled once again. Undoubtedly, this was the top-tier Secret Technique Martial Arts trained by the Death Emperor. When he used it, it was earth-shattering, like the Descent of Death from the Demon Prison, suppressing the heavens.

After collecting these items into his Storage Ring, Chu Ming opened the Demon Blood Horn King's Storage Ring.

Compared to the Death Emperor, the Demon Blood Horn King's collection was richer, considering he had accompanied the Death Emperor in battles for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, such accumulation couldn't be matched by the Death Emperor.

"This should be a token symbolizing identity!"

In Chu Ming's hand appeared a blood-red token with the words "Demon Blood" boldly carved on it, containing a terrifying artistic significance.

Putting the token back into the Storage Ring, Chu Ming found seven or eight hundred million top-grade Spirit Stones in the Demon Blood Horn King's Storage Ring and over a hundred billion upper-grade Spirit Stones.

"What is this?"

Chu Ming took out a pale green crystal from the Demon Blood Horn King's Storage Ring, only the size of a fist, but filled with abundant Spiritual Power, a hundred times that of top-grade Spirit Stones. At its center, it seemed like there was a liquid slowly flowing.

"This should be something more advanced than Spirit Stones, for now, I'll call you Spirit Crystal."

Chu Ming thought to himself. In fact, he had long guessed that above top-grade Spirit Stones, there must be better auxiliary cultivation items.

After all, a King of the Life and Death Realm could still barely use top-grade Spirit Stones to assist in cultivation, but as cultivation improves, top-grade Spirit Stones would become weaker, losing utility altogether at the Emperor Realm.

"The Storage Ring has about ten thousand Spirit Crystals, which should be enough for me to cultivate for a long time."

Besides the Spirit Crystals, Chu Ming also found the top-tier Secret Technique Martial Arts, Demon Blood Yin Yang Great Sorrow Poem, in the Demon Blood Horn King's Storage Ring. It turned out, Chu Ming could also train in this, which was a pleasant surprise.

...

Just as Chu Ming was closed off training in Descent of Death and Demon Blood Yin Yang Great Sorrow Poem, the entire Black Iron Fortress was stirred up by the news of the Demon Blood Horn King's death.

"Have you heard? The Demon Blood Horn King was killed by the Sword Emperor, not even a trace left!"

In a tavern, a half-step Life and Death Realm King spoke to his tablemate.

"Heard about it long ago, this news has spread throughout the Black Iron Fortress. Since our Human Race started fighting the Restricted Zone, we've been at a disadvantage. This time, it's a relief, quite inspiring!"

"The Sword Emperor is truly a genius, breaking through to the Life and Death Realm in just two years and already having the strength equal to seasoned Emperors. Even the Demon Blood Horn King fell by his hand, it's truly a blessing for the Human Race."

"I heard that not only the Demon Blood Horn King perished, but even the Black Demon Nether King was seriously injured, the Demon Emperor must be furious!"

"The Restricted Area has suppressed our Human Race for years, now's our time to strike back. I bet we'll have a new leader within six months."

...

Exclamations rang out from the tavern, scenes like this were not uncommon in the Black Iron Fortress.

Chu Ming's slaying of the Demon Blood Horn King greatly boosted the morale of the Human Race warriors, at least giving them a glimmer of hope.

People always need hope.

In the Restricted Area, black meteorites floated in mid-air, the pitch-black earth teeming with lurking demons, and the air was filled with the scent of death.

In stark contrast to the Human Race's joy, the atmosphere in the Restricted Area was incredibly oppressive. The Demon Blood Horn King's death dealt a significant blow to their morale.

In the Black Divine Hall, the Demon Emperor was seated at the head of the hall, cloaked in black, with an ominous and terrifying aura like a mountain suppressing the entire starry sky. A strange demon pattern on his brow exuded a bizarre vibe.

Currently, the Demon Emperor's face was dreadfully gloomy. In truth, the Demon Blood Horn King's death didn't significantly impact his plans. The real pressure came from the sudden rise of the Sword Emperor.

"Three months left, only three months until the Nine Nether Lamp is forged. By then, the Emperor of Creation and Emperor of Destruction, the Sword Emperor, all will be nothing!"

Before the Demon Emperor was a pale blue Ancient Lamp, with icy cold flames that emitted no warmth whatsoever, seemingly arising from the Netherworld's ghostly fire, blazing across the cosmic starry sky.

The Nine Nether Lamp, an Emperor's Dao Artifact!

Within the Black Iron Fortress, in a hall, Chu Ming was multitasking, both comprehending Descent of Death and cultivating with Spirit Crystals. Cultivating with Spirit Crystals proved exceptionally effective, with Chu Ming's Cultivation slowly advancing.

"Death... Dead... Life..."

Fragmented notions appeared in Chu Ming's mind, as if he grasped something significant, yet it slipped away instantly. At Chu Ming's level, understanding a Secret Technique wasn't difficult, but mastering a Secret Technique was incredibly hard.

Three days passed in a blink, and the aura of death around Chu Ming grew even stronger.

"Die!"

Buzz!

A faint red wave emanated from Chu Ming, sweeping outward. Visibly, the plants in the hall swiftly withered, passing through their brief life cycle.
