Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 925 - 924: Golden Heart
"Hmm?"
In the midst of darkness, Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes, gripping the Infinite Sword, his gaze cautiously scanning his surroundings. All around him were countless blood-colored passages, filled with the dense Flame Law, almost solidifying into form!
At the same time, thick liquid droplets fell from the walls of the passages, highly corrosive. Beneath his feet wasn't hard rock but instead a constantly trembling mass of flesh, overwhelmingly bloody!
"Could I be inside the belly of the Flame Thunder Beast?"
Chu Ming guessed inwardly. Since he came here, he would find peace. Previously, he remembered being swallowed whole by the Flame Thunder Beast, so at this moment, he wasn't overly panicked!
Splatter!
"This thick liquid should be the digestive acid that the Flame Thunder Beast uses!"
A drop of acid fell onto Chu Ming's Blood Robe, instantly corroding a large hole where it landed!
Whoosh!
Chu Ming's figure flickered slightly, instantly avoiding the position of the acid. His body wasn't severely injured, but Chu Ming started pondering how to get out of here!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The surrounding acid suddenly increased in volume, and Chu Ming quickly felt his way along a passage. It wasn't that he hadn't thought of using the Infinite Sword to cut open the Flame Thunder Beast's belly!
However, the Flame Thunder Beast was a Holy Beast, surrounded by the Flame Law. Not to mention that the Infinite Sword in Chu Ming's hand was an Upper Grade Imperial Artifact; even a Sacred Artifact wouldn't be able to cut it open!
As he continued to move, Chu Ming felt the flesh around him moving more and more frequently, transforming into countless invisible hands reaching out for him!
Slash, slash, slash...
Chu Ming unleashed a Sword Aura, slicing through the flesh before him, asking in his mind, "Xiao Ai, do you know how I can get out of here?"
"If I unlock the First Layer seal, taking you out wouldn't be a problem, but for now..."
Xiao Ai shook her head regretfully, though it was already impressive that Chu Ming was alive!
Chu Ming fell silent. Would he have to cultivate here for decades, waiting until his cultivation broke through to the Saint Dao Realm before leaving?
"Right, I still have the Profound Power Fruit in my hand. First, find a place to refine the fruit!"
Chu Ming suddenly remembered the three Profound Power Fruits he had risked his life to snatch. With a flip of his right hand, three fist-sized fruits appeared in his hand!
The Profound Power Fruit was entirely light blue, with complex dark blue patterns on it. There was a faint Power of Law entwining it!
Splatter!
At this time, a drop of acid fell from above, and the surrounding acid grew more abundant as faint water sounds echoed from a distance!
Buzz!
Finding a quiet spot casually, Chu Ming used the Holy Power within his Eye of Illusion, creating a light shield, then pulled out a Profound Power Fruit and stuffed it into his mouth!
Boom!
The moment the Profound Power Fruit entered his mouth, it transformed into a hot stream, flowing down Chu Ming's throat and spreading throughout his entire body!
This time, Chu Ming's long-dormant cultivation began to increase rapidly, almost instantly breaking through to the Middle Stage of the Second Heaven of the Emperor Dao. This momentum showed no sign of stopping!
Late Stage of the Second Heaven of the Emperor Dao!
Peak of the Second Heaven of the Emperor Dao!
Early Stage of the Third Heaven of the Emperor Dao!
With one Profound Power Fruit refined, Chu Ming's cultivation broke through to the Early Stage of the Third Heaven of the Emperor Dao. Without any hesitation, Chu Ming pulled out another Profound Power Fruit and swallowed it!
He had obtained a total of three Profound Power Fruits and wanted to see what level his cultivation would reach after refining all three!
However, perhaps because Chu Ming had already refined one Profound Power Fruit, his body developed slight resistance to it. Therefore, when he refined the second one, his cultivation only reached the Late Stage of the Third Heaven of the Emperor Dao, faintly trending toward the peak of the Third Heaven of the Emperor Dao!
"I hope to break through to the Fourth Heaven of the Emperor Dao!"
Chu Ming thought to himself as he looked at the last Profound Power Fruit, then stuffed it into his mouth!
Boom!
Peak of the Third Heaven of the Emperor Dao!
Almost instantly, Chu Ming's cultivation broke through to the peak of the Third Heaven of the Emperor Dao. However, the speed of his cultivation growth had become extremely slow, with each tiny increase taking not a short amount of time!
"Breakthrough!!"
Boom!
Fourth Heaven of the Emperor Dao!
An overwhelming momentum burst from Chu Ming's body. At this moment, Chu Ming's momentum was at least a hundred times stronger than before. His Blood Robe flared, and countless small Sword Auras shot out, shattering upon meeting the inner wall of the Flame Thunder Beast!
"Now the Ghost Cat Woman humor is not my opponent!"
Chu Ming thought to himself, as blood colors surged from his right arm, five Flowers of Slaughter blooming eerily and bloody, exuding a thick aura of slaughter!
"I didn't expect that not only did I break through to the Fourth Heaven of the Emperor Dao, but another Flower of Slaughter Law condensed!"
Chu Ming was well aware that the Flower of Slaughter Law he condensed this time wasn't a Rootless Flower but a genuine flower with roots. Even though the Ghost Cat Woman humorously had already condensed six Flowers of Law, her cultivation was a whole layer lower than Chu Ming's, and Chu Ming also had the Infinite Sword Body as his trump card!
If the two were to truly fight, Chu Ming had confidence in defeating the Ghost Cat Woman within a hundred moves!
Whoosh!
"This can be considered a blessing in disguise, but the most important thing now is to find a way out of here!"
Chu Ming's figure moved, with the Holy Power Light Shield surrounding him, shielding him from the surrounding acid, making a hissing sound!
Dong dong dong!
Dong dong dong!
A series of heavy sounds resonated like drum beats, making Chu Ming's chest suddenly feel stifled!
"This is the sound of the Flame Thunder Beast's heartbeat!"
Chu Ming's heart stirred, flying toward the heart chamber of the Flame Thunder Beast. Typically, whether it's a human Martial Artist or a Demon Beast, the heart is their most vulnerable area. Once the heart is broken, severe injury is inevitable!
Whoosh!
Shortly afterwards, Chu Ming arrived in a spacious flesh chamber. Once he saw it clearly, the look in Chu Ming's eyes was filled with shock!
"How... how is this possible?!"
Staring at the heart of the Flame Thunder Beast, Chu Ming was dumbstruck, eyes filled with disbelief!
He couldn't be blamed for such a reaction, because the heart of the Flame Thunder Beast was actually golden, emanating a terrifying pressure. This pressure was not the Saint pressure, yet unknown how much stronger!
"Could the hearts of the Holy Beasts be like this?"
After a while, Chu Ming calmed down, thinking to himself. As if knowing Chu Ming's thoughts, Xiao Ai in his mind spoke plainly at this moment.
"Although the Demon Beast transforms as it advances to Holy Beast, experiencing a complete transformation, the heart is their life's source. It strengthens, but it won't turn golden. There must be a reason for the Flame Thunder Beast's golden heart!"
