Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 969 - 967: Eye of the Storm
Once everyone was gathered, a total of one hundred and fifty Inner Palace disciples, led by Ning Yijian, set out together towards the Eye of the Storm.
"The Eye of the Storm is filled with rampant demons, suffused with billowing Demonic Qi. This Qi serves as a great supplement for the demons, but for us cultivators, staying too long in such an environment can easily give rise to a Heart Demon. In the Eye of the Storm, stay alert at all times, for life can only be lived once!"
Ning Yijian instructed the one hundred and fifty Inner Palace disciples, his gaze sweeping over Chu Ming, a cold smirk curling at the corners of his mouth!
The Eye of the Storm resides in a different dimension, and for disciples of the Nine Elements Dao Palace to enter it, they must use the Teleportation Array; otherwise, they risk being trapped in spatial chaos, facing certain death!
"All of you, enter!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Ning Yijian said to the group of Inner Palace disciples, then jumped into the Teleportation Array first!
Each Inner Palace disciple followed Ning Yijian into the Teleportation Array, transported to the Eye of the Storm!
Swish!
Chu Ming entered the Teleportation Array, suddenly enveloped in white light, surrounded by a haze. Amidst the blur, he saw a pitch-black continent!
"Is this the Eye of the Storm?"
Chu Ming's face showed a hint of emotion; even from such a distance, he could still feel the evil aura emanating from the Eye of the Storm, threatening to erode his mind at any moment!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Young disciples appeared in the void, and seeing the Eye of the Storm, many of the Inner Palace disciples' faces turned pale!
"Alright, the Eye of the Storm is ahead, let's enter!"
Ning Yijian stepped out of the void, moving to the front of the group, addressing the Inner Palace disciples. Instantly, one hundred and fifty Inner Palace disciples followed Ning Yijian, flying towards the pitch-black continent!
As they drew closer to the Eye of the Storm, the air's Demonic Qi grew denser, severely affecting everyone's mind!
Rumble!
"Hehehe, more Nine Elements Dao Palace disciples coming to die, become our blood feast!"
Just as they set foot in the Eye of the Storm, hundreds of demons exuding fiery flames emerged from the void, their eyes cold and sinister, sneering at the group.
"Shameless!"
Ning Yijian coldly shouted, drawing the silver-white longsword from his back, unleashing an incredibly fast Sword Light from its blade, as if to shatter the stars!
Splatter! Splatter! Splatter...
Flames splattered, and with a single slash from Ning Yijian, the bodies of hundreds of flaming demons instantly shattered into pieces, blood raining down!
Although these flaming demons were numerous, they were only High Tier Demon Emperors, with strength equivalent to Martial Artists of the seventh or eighth layer of the Emperor Dao, no match for Ning Yijian!
Hiss!
Seeing hundreds of demons swiftly exterminated by Ning Yijian, the surrounding disciples couldn't help but draw a breath of cold air!
"Alright, let's continue. The next time demons appear, I won't make a move. You need to cooperate with each other!"
Ning Yijian sheathed his longsword and said indifferently to the group.
"Yes, senior brother!"
The Inner Palace disciples respectfully spoke, and having witnessed Ning Yijian's strength, they admired him even more!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Eye of the Storm is vast, like a barren world, with Demonic Qi surging, demons rampant!
Not long after, Chu Ming and the others encountered another group of demons, these demons with double horns, eyes a fiery red, spewing scorching heat from their nostrils, each wielding a blood-red war axe!
"Curse these humans, die!"
A High Tier Demon Emperor swung an axe at an Inner Palace disciple, swiftly spreading a layer of white waves, transforming into a sharp axe blade!
Ding!
That Inner Palace disciple's eyes flashed with panic but quickly reacted, thrusting a longsword that swiftly deflected the Demon Emperor's axe!
Swish!
Ning Yijian flew to the side, observing coldly, clearly as he had just stated, he would no longer intervene!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
"Slaughter!"
One by one, the Inner Palace disciples charged at the demons, each a Sealed King Level talent at the very least, even among them some Sealed Saint Level talents, each peerless at their level. Challenges above their level were no difficulty!
Rumble!
Chu Ming raised the Infinite Sword above his head, swinging it at the demons in front, a fleetingly void Sword Light bursting forth, instantly slaying dozens of demons! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
With this sword, Chu Ming held back; knowing Ning Yijian's intent to kill him, he naturally couldn't unleash his full strength!
"His strength is indeed impressive, akin to a typical First Layer Saint Dao cultivator. Yet, it's insufficient before me!"
Ning Yijian observed everything about Chu Ming, smirking coldly at the Sword Light's destructive power!
"Find an opportunity to separate Chu Ming from the other Inner Palace disciples!"
Ning Yijian pondered, aware that acting directly before the other Inner Palace disciples would surely reach the Nine Elements Dao Palace, and he couldn't kill them all!
These Demon Emperors were soon completely exterminated by the disciples of the Nine Elements Dao Palace!
No disciple died; only a few suffered minor injuries!
"Alright, let's keep moving!"
Nearby, Ning Yijian saw the demons nearly eliminated and immediately addressed the Inner Palace disciples.
"Chu Ming, the Eye of the Storm actually contains Primordial Copper Mother!"
Following Ning Yijian, suddenly, Chu Ming's mind was startled by a cry from Xiao Ai!
"Primordial Copper Mother?"
Chu Ming's eyes glinted, showing a hint of joy!
Previously, Xiao Ai had self-sealed after a severe injury, the seal having four layers. The treasure required to unseal the first layer is the Primordial Copper Mother!
The Primordial Copper Mother is an Upper Grade Saint Level forging material, unavailable even in the Nine Elements Dao Palace.
Finding the Primordial Copper Mother would allow the first seal of the Divine Brilliance Sword to be unlocked!
"Seems I need an opportunity to leave the main group!"
Chu Ming contemplated, thinking truthfully, the Eye of the Storm might be immensely dangerous to others, but given his current cultivation, unless encountering a Middle Tier Demon Saint, there isn't much threat!
And a Middle Tier Demon Saint, within this Eye of the Storm, doesn't appear for millennia, and once they do, they're dispatched by the elders inside the Nine Elements Dao Palace!
Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, Chu Ming and the others had been in the Eye of the Storm for three days!
Throughout these three days, the Inner Palace disciples experienced numerous battles, their faces losing some of their youthful innocence and exhibiting more calmness!
Rumble!
Suddenly, three terrifying auras crashed down from the sky as if three Ancient Divine Mountains pressed down on them!
