Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 971 - 969: Breaking Away from the Main Group
"Chu Ming escaped?"
Ning Yijian frowned, but wasn't too suspicious. If it were him, facing a Lower Tier Demon Saint and unable to match its power, he would probably run instantly too!
However, with Chu Ming's escape, he left the main group; the Eye of the Storm is vast and boundless, making the chance to strike and kill Chu Ming very slim!
"Hmph, demons run rampant in the Eye of the Storm. With the presence of Demon Saints, perhaps I don't need to act and Chu Ming will be devoured by these Demon Saints, not even leaving a speck behind!"
Ning Yijian thought to himself, the Sword Aura in his hand flying without restraint, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang mystical light that instantly engulfed two Lower Tier Demon Saints!
Thud, thud, thud...
The hard armor on the Lower Tier Demon Saints couldn't withstand the sharp Sword Aura in his hand. Instantly, the two Lower Tier Demon Saints were riddled with scars!
...
"Chu Ming, that Lower Tier Demon Saint is chasing us!"
A blood-red light, seeming like amber, flowed across the sky, as Xiao Ai said to Chu Ming in his mind.
"No worries!"
Chu Ming's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. Though a Lower Tier Demon Saint might outmatch him in a full-on confrontation, managing a safe escape was within his grasp.
Boom!
"Die for me!"
A thunderous shout came from behind Chu Ming, swiftly followed by a terrifying demonic palm descending from the sky, bearing the force to tear stars apart, and rolling demon waves!
Boom!
"Celestial Extinction!"
Chu Ming's eyes gleamed coldly, his Infinite Sword swiftly lifting up, and instantly, a domineering Sword Aura burst forth from the Infinite Sword, extinguishing gods and obliterating immortals!
Boom!
As the sword struck out, Chu Ming withheld nothing, as nine Flowers of Slaughter Law bloomed simultaneously, and Sword Aura roared from the Infinite Sword!
Slash!
Crack!
Where the Sword Aura passed, the Void exploded, white cracks sliced through the Void horizontally, sending the Lower Tier Demon Saint flying instantly!
"You were hiding your strength?!"
The Lower Tier Demon Saint stopped his retreating figure, looking at Chu Ming with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with endless rage. No matter what, he never expected that a mere Emperor Dao Martial Artist, akin to an ant in his eyes, would dare hide his strength in his presence!
"Want the Sacred Artifact on me? Your strength is far from enough!"
Chu Ming spoke with a calm expression, wind under his feet, instantly flying away into the distance!
"Hmph, a mere Emperor Dao ant dares to be arrogant before me!"
A trace of chilling darkness flashed in the eyes of the Lower Tier Demon Saint, his feet stepping onto the sky, shaking the Void instantly, each step covering a distance of a thousand meters!
Crack!
Watching Chu Ming ahead, the Demon Saint launched a punch again, instantly nine terrifying Demon Venerable phantoms appeared behind him, like nine Chaos Demon Gods, shattering the heavens!
Boom!
"Nine-eyed Demon Tiger, emerge!"
Rumble!
Chu Ming threw out the Beast Control Compass, from which a gigantic phantom of a Demon Tiger flew out, its body rapidly expanding in the air, transforming into a mountain that shrouds the sky!
The Nine-eyed Demon Tiger's spirit glared disdainfully at the Lower Tier Demon Saint; its forepaw lifted gently, like an Ancient Divine Mountain, killing towards him, tearing through the Void, unimaginably terrifying.
Rumble!
Slash!
The collision between the two, with terrifying shockwaves sweeping outward madly, the explosive force at the heart of the collision akin to countless missiles violently exploding!
The Lower Tier Demon Saint's attack was thwarted, watching the sky where the Beast Control Compass emitted a grand Sacred power, his eyes suddenly showed a trace of shock.
"Lower Grade Sacred Artifact?!"
"You actually have two Lower Grade Sacred Artifacts?"
The Lower Tier Demon Saint's eyes reddened entirely, thinking that as a prestigious Demon Saint, he ruled in the Eye of the Storm, yet possessed not a single Sacred Artifact, while Chu Ming, merely an Emperor Dao Martial Artist, had two Sacred Artifacts, which naturally made him jealous!
Swoosh!
Leveraging the momentum of the counter-shock, Chu Ming's figure instantly flew away, rapidly escaping beyond the sight of the Lower Tier Demon Saint!
Leaving that Lower Tier Demon Saint roaring relentlessly, eyes full of unwillingness, though he understood that Chu Ming, with his two Sacred Artifacts, was still not his match but neither could he easily crush him.
Swoosh!
"Finally escaped the main group!"
Seeing the Lower Tier Demon Saint not catching up, Chu Ming sighed lightly in relief, then asked the Xiao Ai in his mind.
"Xiao Ai, tell me the location of the Chaos Copper Mother!"
"Okay!"
Xiao Ai responded excitedly. Having awaited countless epochs to break the seal, now seeing even a sliver of hope, naturally she was elated!
"Funeral God Canyon!"
Chu Ming's Spiritual Sense scanned the map Xiao Ai transmitted to his mind, matching against the one given by the Nine Elements Dao Palace, immediately drawing breath in shock!
Funeral God Canyon was the battlefield formed at the inception of the Eye of the Storm, when an ancestor in the Divine Dao Realm from Nine Elements Dao Palace battled a Tier Nine Demon God, with both perishing in the end!
A Tier Nine Demon God is equivalent to a formidable Human Race expert, unimaginably terrifying, though dead for countless epochs, its lingering power still remains, and the entire Funeral God Canyon exudes terrible demonic power. Under its influence, demons of any Realm get their strength amplified while Human Race experts face suppression!
Thus, in the Land of the Buried God, demons run rampant, and it's regarded as the most dangerous place in the Eye of the Storm.
Disciples from the Nine Elements Dao Palace never dare to enter Funeral God Canyon for training because there, even normal Lower Tier Demon Saints wield power at the peak of Lower Tier Demon Saints!
"I must go to Funeral God Canyon!"
Thinking about the Chaos Copper Mother, Chu Ming clenched his right fist firmly, speaking resolutely. Upper Grade Saint Level materials are rare beyond measure, and something like Chaos Copper Mother is even more precious!
Swoosh!
Put away the Beast Control Compass and the Eye of Illusion, Chu Ming concealed his figure, transforming into a shadow following the route on the map towards Funeral God Canyon!
...
Elsewhere, that Lower Tier Demon Saint unwillingly returned to the battlefield of two other Lower Tier Demon Saints!
"How did it go? Did you get the Sacred Artifact?"
Ning Yijian hurled one Demon Saint away with a sword, and the Lower Tier Demon Saint flew to the other Demon Saint's front, excitedly asking.
"He got away!"
That Demon Saint said through gritted teeth, then explained with a fearsome, gloomy face, "He has two Sacred Artifacts, while the power he wields is really terrifying, determined to leave, I could do nothing!"
"Two Sacred Artifacts?"
The Demon Saint's face showed a sudden shock, eyes glinting with greed. A single Sacred Artifact is considered a supreme treasure and to have two is even more enticing!
"Forget him, let's deal with this sword-wielding kid first!"
That Demon Saint suppressed the greed in his eyes, said to the other two Demon Saints, then together launched an attack towards Ning Yijian!
