Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 941 - 939: Red Blade Demon Emperor
Whoosh!
Chu Ming's figure transformed into a blood-red amber stream of light, approaching the dark valley!
Crash!
Standing before the dark valley, Chu Ming wielded the Infinite Sword and slashed at the cliff behind the valley!
Rumble!
The valley crumbled, a surge of vibrant life essence rushed out, and under this essence, every cell in Chu Ming's body seemed to cheer joyously!
Buzz!
Threads of milky-white, viscous liquid, resembling water drops, slowly trickled from the cleft of the valley, at an extremely slow pace!
"Elixir of Eternal Youth!"
Chu Ming's eyes lit up. At the appearance of the elixir, every plant buried in the soil within the valley began to grow wildly!
Whoosh!
Chu Ming immediately took out a jade container from his Storage Ring to collect the Elixir of Eternal Youth!
The elixir doesn't blend with anything, so Chu Ming wasn't worried about it seeping into the ground!
"The Elixir of Eternal Youth is so heavy!"
Collecting the elixir is an extremely slow process; each drop weighs about a thousand pounds. A single batch of the elixir piled together resembles an Eternal Divine Mountain. If the jade container wasn't specially made, it could never hold the elixir!
"Star Undying Body!"
Rumble!
A faint layer of starlight enveloped Chu Ming's body. With his Star Undying Body unleashed, his strength multiplied several times. He could collect a batch of elixir in roughly hundreds of moves. Although the process is described as slow, in fact, it's astonishingly fast!
One batch, two batches...
After Chu Ming collected five batches of the elixir, it finally ran dry in the dark valley. Although the elixir can regenerate, it requires hundreds of years to accumulate anew!
"Five batches of elixir, forty thousand Contribution Points in hand!"
Chu Ming felt delighted, as each batch of elixir is worth eight thousand Contribution Points. He hadn't expected to collect five batches upon first entering the Black Eye Continent!
Yet, all of this is thanks to the Eye of Illusion. Without it, Chu Ming couldn't possibly have found the elixir so swiftly. For regular Inner Palace Disciples, collecting one batch in three days is already considered extremely fortunate!
Whoosh!
Chu Ming flew away, his Eye of Illusion sweeping wildly across the Black Eye Continent. During this, he also saw many Inner Palace Disciples from the Nine Elements Dao Palace collecting the elixir, but they had no aim, wandering like headless flies across the continent; their efficiency couldn't compare to Chu Ming!
For several consecutive days, Chu Ming collected the elixir across the Black Eye Continent. Naturally, he also continued cultivating his Star Undying Body, with the Dragon Tiger Pill greatly aiding him. He could feel clearly that he was getting closer to the Late Stage of the First Layer of the Star Undying Body!
Meanwhile, the elixir in his Storage Ring increased significantly, reaching thirty-six batches, amounting to nearly two hundred ninety thousand Contribution Points!
However, Chu Ming also realized that collecting the elixir wasn't as simple as he thought. The Black Eye Continent is ruled by demons. Although these demons aren't competitors to the Nine Elements Dao Palace, they know disciples from the palace are entering the continent to collect the elixir!
As such, there are powerful Demon Emperors constantly hunting disciples from the Nine Elements Dao Palace on the Black Eye Continent!
To sum up, collecting the elixir has two major difficulties: discovering it hidden in the shadows and evading the powerful demon emperors hunting them!
Even though Chu Ming possesses the Eye of Illusion, he has frequently encountered hunts from demon emperors!
Most of these are High Tier Demon Emperors, equivalent to Emperor Dao Eighth Heaven experts, all of whom Chu Ming has slain under his sword!
That day, while Chu Ming was collecting the elixir beside rocks on a plain, the elixir there was intensely vibrant, holding vast reserves. Chu Ming had already gathered three batches of elixir, yet the potion showed no sign of drying up!
Whoosh!
A blood-red, robust shadow shot forth from afar, enormous Demonic Qi obscuring the sky, scarlet like it was solidifying—this was a terrifying Demon Emperor!
"A Demon Emperor is coming!"
Chu Ming stood and looked up, ceasing his collection of the elixir, his eyes faintly slicing with numerous sharp Sword Auras!
"A Top Tier Demon Emperor?"
Even before this emperor revealed himself, Chu Ming could feel its frightening momentum, several times more powerful than the High Tier Demon Emperors he had faced before.
Whoosh!
The Infinite Sword drew from its sheath, Chu Ming stood tall without retreating; the battle power of the Top Tier Demon Emperor was equivalent to Emperor Dao Ninth Heaven experts, among whom the peak strength rivals the pinnacle experts of Emperor Dao Ninth Heaven!
Since breaking through, Chu Ming hadn't truly battled yet, igniting in his heart the urge to fight upon the appearance of this Top Tier Demon Emperor!
Rumble!
This invincible Demon Emperor descended, its terrifying aura immediately causing the entire plain to become pocked and dusty!
"To see me, the Red Blade Demon Emperor, and not flee—you're the first!"
The blood-red brilliance dispersed, revealing a burly middle-aged man walking from within. This man had two horns, blood-red eyes, and fiery-red hair like a blazing flame.
The Red Blade Demon Emperor, being a Top Tier Demon Emperor, ranks within the top fifty in battle power on the Black Eye Continent, having slain numerous disciples of the Nine Elements Dao Palace!
"Fight if you want, no need for so much nonsense!"
Chu Ming spoke calmly, suddenly stepping forward, his Infinite Sword transforming into a terrifying black shadow. A blurred, void-like Sword Aura erupted from the Infinite Sword, reaching the Red Blade Demon Emperor in an instant!
"Fool!"
The Red Blade Demon Emperor growled lowly, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, his right hand drew back swiftly, gripping the blood-red Long Saber on his back. In an instant, countless blood-red Long Sabers bloomed in the air, each space filled with Sword Aura blasts!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Chu Ming's Sword Aura instantly shattered, fragmenting into countless pieces, spraying toward all directions!
Whoosh!
"Wind Gust!"
A wisp of wind color drifted from Chu Ming's Infinite Sword, his Sword Dao suddenly becoming ethereal, as if countless Wind Blades, attacking the Red Blade Demon Emperor!
Clink clink clink clink clink clink...
The Red Blade Demon Emperor's blood-red Long Saber was similarly an Upper Grade Imperial Artifact; it swung fiercely, forming a dense blood-red wall, blocking all of Chu Ming's Sword Auras!
Crack!
The Infinite Sword and blood-red Long Saber collided, the void shattered, resembling a formless vacuum bomb explosion, countless airwaves sweeping across, Chu Ming's body trembled lightly, starlight surged, the force transmitted from the Infinite Sword instantly dispersed.
Meanwhile, the Red Blade Demon Emperor remained steady, his expression unfazed, as the demon's body is inherently robust; such force is trivial to them.
