Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor
Chapter 585 585, Transcendence, Transcendence
Buzz! Buzz!
A trace of Transparent Spirit Meaning emanated from Chu Ming's body surface. Chu Ming's enlightenment multiplied several times. Although Chu Ming's original enlightenment was already exceptional, it had now reached an unprecedented level.
Bang!
The Slaughter Sword Intent surged forward, instantly reaching Tier Nine. Strands of Undying Divine Rhythm flowed on Chu Ming's body surface. Chu Ming's expression was solemn, his stature resembling a Dharma Aspect, as the Sea of Slaughter spread around him.
The Soul Brand engraved itself on the fetal form of the Undying Tree, granting Chu Ming enormous benefits. His mind had never been so clear before. Boom, boom, boom, a red slaughter light column descended from the sky, instantly piercing through Chu Ming's whole body as he sat cross-legged within it, the Slaughter Sword Intent approaching Perfection.
This scene persisted for three days. On the third day, the Slaughter little sword in Chu Ming's Sea of Souls almost solidified, and the Slaughter Sword Intent thoroughly reached Perfection. Transparent terrifying red light shot around Chu Ming's body, and within a hundred miles, blood clouds permeated and surged, with faint sword whistles coming from within, attracting several onlookers on the ancient battlefield.
"Such heavenly might, could it be an Exotic Treasure appearing?"
A thousand miles away, a white-haired elderly man in white robes gazed at the surging blood clouds in the sky, listening to the sword whistles, his face mixed with suspicion.
The elderly man's face was withered from age, and his vitality had almost evaporated by ninety percent. Dressed in white, holding a jade-green pen, with each step he made, he spanned several thousand meters at incredible speed.
The attracted individuals were not only the elderly man in white but also several other Great Powers of Transcendence and Guiyuan Realm experts. Throughout the past year, the ancient battlefield no longer restricted entries by cultivation.
Bang!
The blood clouds in the sky fluctuated and rolled again, the sword whistles became more evident, sometimes near, sometimes far. The emitted killing intent made several Guiyuan Realm martial artists turn pale. Even the Great Powers of Transcendence felt uneasy, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Bang!
At this moment, the Slaughter Sword Intent within Chu Ming's body suddenly ascended, raindrops freezing, and a mysterious aura emanated from within him. Chu Ming felt that slaughter was him, and he was slaughter.
Secrets of Slaughter, Complete!
At the moment when the Secrets of Slaughter completed its transformation, Chu Ming's stalled cultivation rapidly surged ahead, breaking through some form of shackle, and a sense of transcendence in the meaning of life arose.
"I didn't expect that refining the Undying Tree would let me break through to the Realm of Transcendence!"
Chu Ming muttered to himself, opening his bloodshot eyes wide. He stood as a giant between heaven and earth, and the blood clouds in the sky not only didn't disperse but became denser. Sword whistles and thunderclaps mixed within.
Bang!
The world became chaotic, with thunderlight flickering across the sky, transforming into dragon-like thunders roaming about, imposing an overwhelming divine might that awed the surrounding martial artists.
"The Tribulation of Transcendence has come!"
Whoosh!
Holding the Blood Dome Sword horizontally, Chu Ming stared at the terrifying thunder dragons rolling in the sky, his expression serene. The Secrets of Slaughter around him turned into a pool, drawing the surrounding space in.
Realm of Transcendence, by definition, is already beyond the human level, reaching a higher tier. Hence, in this process of transformation, heaven and earth will descend with thunder tribulations.
Upon reaching the Life and Death Realm as a King, it becomes even more terrifying. To successfully break through, one must endure the Primordial Spirit Killing Tribulation. Through this tribulation, one can attain the position of a King in the Life and Death Realm; otherwise, body and soul will perish, a situation where one step leads to heaven and the other to hell.
Bang!
"It's the Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation!"
Chu Ming frowned. The Tribulation of Transcendence that a martial artist undergoes varies, interconnected with the martial artist's talent. The Tribulation of Transcendence ranges from the Purple Yuan One Killings Tribulation to the Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation.
It corresponds to a martial artist's talent from low to high. A common Great Power breaking through to the Realm of Transcendence typically endures the Purple Yuan Three Killings Tribulation. For the so-called talents in the Central Divine Domain, breaking through to the Realm of Transcendence often endures the Purple Yuan Six Killings Tribulation.
The path of a martial artist is against the heavens!
The stronger the talent, the greater the oppression from heaven and earth. The Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation consists of nine thunder tribulations. Any random tribulation is enough to kill a Tier Three expert in the Realm of Transcendence. The enhancement of the Tribulation of Transcendence is not only in the number but also in the power.
The combination of three thunder tribulations in the Purple Yuan Three Killings Tribulation is not even comparable to a single tribulation of the Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation.
Chu Ming's talent was originally enough to defy the heavens, qualifying him for the Purple Yuan Eight Killings Tribulation. There was still some distance from summoning the Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation. He speculated that the appearance of the Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation was related to his refining the Undying Tree. After all, the Undying Tree is a Nine Heavens Divine Object, adding substantial fortune to him out of nowhere.
Bang!
Thunder tribulations rolled, and a terrifying thunderbolt as thick as a barrel came crashing towards Chu Ming. The will of heaven and earth descended upon him, making him feel there was no place to hide.
Crack!
Chu Ming stomped hard on the ground, and the Secrets of Slaughter within him erupted. His body transformed into a sword light, drifting in the air, directly slashing at the thunderbolt as thick as a barrel. The sword light danced across the sky like a celestial steed.
Crack!
Before the thunderbolt could strike, it was slashed and severed by the Blood Dome Sword. The electric sparks flashed dazzlingly, the space trembled and slowly dissipated into the sky.
Three hundred miles away, hundreds of martial artists gathered, looking at the rolling blood-colored tribulation clouds in the sky, their expressions changing.
"I didn't expect someone to undergo the Tribulation of Transcendence here. Judging by this momentum, it's at least a Purple Yuan Five Killings Tribulation!"
A Great Power in the Realm of Transcendence squinted his eyes, scanning the ground. The space retreated, and everything around seemed like a drawn curtain.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a Purple Yuan Five Killings Tribulation. If the tribulation undergoer's age is below thirty, they can rank around two thousand on the Transcendence List."
A middle-aged man in yellow robes flashed a trace of envy in his eyes. Hearing these words, the other martial artists' faces trembled, a flash of fervor passing by.
The Transcendence List is a newly ranked list written by the Celestial River King from the Life and Death Palace. It lists all the talents under thirty years old across the Celestial Martial Continent. These talents come from the North Sea, Southern Wilderness, Western Desert, and more predominantly from the Central Divine Domain.
The Transcendence List ranks only the Great Powers in the Realm of Transcendence, taking merely five thousand names. Across the entire continent, talents are as numerous as the sands, and five thousand transcendences among them are insignificant, highlighting how difficult it is to get onto the Transcendence List.
"Not necessarily a Purple Yuan Five Killings Tribulation!"
A middle-aged man in a black robe spoke with a determined face. Upon hearing this, the crowd turned their gaze to him and let out an exclamation.
"It's the Supreme Elder Mu Xinghe from the Yellow River Sect!"
"It's said that in his youth, he was also a talent in the Central Divine Domain, reaching the Realm of Transcendence with the power of the Purple Yuan Six Killings Tribulation. Now, being less than a hundred years old, he has already attained the half-step Life and Death Realm!"
"It's him!"
Recognizing Mu Xinghe's identity, the crowd immediately became cautious and respectfully stood by his side. Being a half-step Life and Death Realm King, no matter where, he was considered a powerhouse.
