Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 924 - 923: Swallowed
"Not good, a powerful Demon Beast is coming this way!"
Hu Yuwei's face turned pale, and she forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart, shouting to everyone.
In fact, without Hu Yuwei's reminder, everyone already felt that the situation was a bit bad. Even the ghost cat girl Youmo was unusually grave!
"Everyone, run! It's a Holy Beast coming!!"
Gradually, a terrifying Holy Pressure began to drift in the heavens and earth, making it extremely difficult for everyone to breathe. Several slightly weaker Sealed Saint Level geniuses flushed red under this Holy Pressure, facing an immense struggle!
"Let's go!"
Li Fang of the Seven Swords Association spoke to a few Sealed Saint Level geniuses from the association and turned around, flying out of the Black Profound Mountain Range.
Now, even though the Demon Beast hadn't arrived, the overwhelming Holy Pressure had already descended. Needless to say, an invincible Holy Beast was on its way here. If they didn't leave now, they might not be able to escape later!
Once the Seven Swords Association moved, shortly after, many other Sealed Saint Level geniuses also left the Black Profound Mountain Range!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Suddenly, Hu Yuwei, the fierce demon, and Qing Hong transformed into three streaks of light, racing directly towards the Profound Power Fruit. Their speed was incredibly fast, and in almost a moment, they had already reached a kilometer within the range of the Profound Power Fruit!
Rumble!
"Courting death!"
The Black Cat girl Youmo showed a trace of annoyance in her eyes, forming a palm with her right hand and striking fiercely towards the three of them. At the moment, the Earth Bear lay prostrate on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. Even though the fierce demon trio had already entered the range of the Profound Power Fruit, it remained unfazed!
Rumble!
Puff, puff, puff...
Under the palm of the ghost cat girl Youmo, Qing Hong and the other two were instantly blown away, their figures looking wretched, and they gazed unwillingly at the nearby Profound Power Fruit!
Puff!
A blood-red stream of light flashed across the sky, its speed was more than twice that of the three persons earlier!
This blood light appeared at the perfect time, right when the ghost cat girl Youmo's old force had just receded, and her new strength had yet to be formed!
"Hmph!"
At this moment, a cold snort echoed throughout the world. Chu Ming's face turned pale, his figure wavering, and his speed suddenly decreased greatly!
"Chu Ming, run quickly, the Holy Beast is about to arrive soon!"
In his mind, little Ai screamed frantically. No one understood the horror of a Holy Beast better than him. Generally speaking, even a Lower Tier Saint Level Demon Beast had strength comparable to a strong Saint Dao Third Heaven. However, for Chu Ming, there was no difference; he was not an opponent even for one move against them!
Looking at the Profound Power Fruit almost within reach, Chu Ming's face was filled with unwillingness. Just one step, just one step!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A terrifying black shadow from the sky covered everything like a dark cloud, blocking out the sun; Holy Pressure descended in a grand manner, causing all the Demon Beasts in the Black Profound Mountain Range to lie trembling on the ground!
At this moment, the ghost cat girl Youmo, Qing Hong, and others scattered in all directions from the Black Profound Mountain Range the moment the Holy Beast arrived. Even though the Profound Power Fruit lay ahead, compared to their lives, life was the more important consideration!
Swish!
Chu Ming flipped his sleeve, and a force of suction emerged. In an instant, three Profound Power Fruits drilled into his sleeve!
"Roar!"
The terrifying Holy Pressure descended, as Chu Ming frantically flew into the distance. However, a massive shadow continuously hovered over his head!
"Damn, why is it only chasing me?"
Chu Ming's heart turned cold as he looked at the colossal creature in the sky. This Holy Beast could easily kill him, yet it hadn't moved, as if it was toying with him!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As Chu Ming flew, the trees of the Black Profound Mountain Range silently exploded, turning into scattered dust!
Chu Ming looked up, imprinting the image of the Holy Beast in his mind instantly. It was a terrifying Flame Thunder Beast, its body wrapped in countless Flame Laws and Thunder Laws, with scales the size of basins, adorned with countless red markings!
"Roar!"
The Flame Thunder Beast roared once and immediately rushed to devour Chu Ming, its mouth wide open, an overwhelming stench emanating, and at the same time, it unleashed a terrifying power of devouring!
Rumble!
"Infinite Sword Body!"
As a terrifying storm swept, Chu Ming's aura exploded with shocking might, simultaneously slashing a terrifying Sword Aura behind him with the Infinite Sword in hand! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Swish!
"Floating Blood!"
At this moment, Chu Ming reached the pinnacle of the Sword Dao realm, unleashing the peak of his sword skills. The Void twisted, humming loudly!
Bang!
The Flame Thunder Beast's left claw slightly lifted, directly pinching the blood-colored Sword Aura into countless fragmentation of blood light!
Swish!
Chu Ming's face turned pale; he felt his body losing control, starting to back towards the fiery Holy Beast!
Fifty meters... thirty meters... ten meters...
As the distance drew closer, Chu Ming could even feel the Flame Thunder Beast's breath.
Boom!
The Flame Thunder Beast opened its mouth, swallowing Chu Ming whole. Chu Ming felt everything go dark, and there was no further sound!
...
Outside, on the plaza of the Nine Elements Dao Palace, a deathly silence prevailed. Yuan Bujing saw the Flame Thunder Beast swallow Chu Ming in one bite, and his vision darkened, almost fainting. After waiting for hundreds of years, expecting to finally find a Sealed Emperor Level genius, he didn't expect the end result was being swallowed by a Holy Beast!
Once the Freshman Battle begins, no matter what happens, unless it ends, the Ancient Yuan Illusion Realm can't be opened from the outside!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, who would have thought, who would have thought, the Flame Thunder Beast actually swallowed Chu Ming in one gulp!"
"Chu Ming became a Sealed Emperor Level genius with great difficulty, yet before he could showcase his potential, he perished in the belly of a Demon Beast. Truly tragic!"
"Chu Ming may be the most unlucky Sealed Emperor Level genius ever. From ancient times, which Sealed Emperor Level genius hasn't been stunning and resounding throughout the Cosmos!"
"The word 'greed' has a knife over it. If not for the three Profound Power Fruits, Chu Ming likely wouldn't have died!"
"Alas, no matter what, Chu Ming was someone of our Nine Elements Dao Palace. If fully nurtured, he might have become a great pillar for our palace. Now he's fallen, what a pity!"
Many Outer Palace disciples were whispering softly. To be swallowed by a Holy Beast, nine out of ten times means there's no chance of survival!
"To think he just died like that; it really was too easy on him!"
An Inner Palace disciple said coldly, though a slight gleam of satisfaction flashed through his eyes.
In the air, Patriarch Tianyuan sighed slightly; even he did not believe Chu Ming had any hope of surviving.
"Who would have thought, after so much effort to accept a Direct Disciple, this would be the end result!"
Patriarch Tianyuan felt a bitter sensation in his heart; nonetheless, he knew Chu Ming might still have a sliver of hope for survival, and that was the Sacred Artifact, the Eye of Illusion!
The Eye of Illusion was originally a Middle Grade Sacred Artifact, and though it had now fallen to Lower Grade, it still contained holy power, which could temporarily preserve Chu Ming's life. Whether he survives in the long run was up to his fortune!
