Boom!

"Burial Sword!"

The Blood Dome Sword slashes through the air repeatedly with Middle Tier Secrets of Slaughter driving Middle Tier Secrets Martial Arts. Chu Ming's strike is nearly comparable to his peak form.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Five terrifying Sword Lights bloom in the sky, covering the heavens and earth. In the sky, a dense Sword Momentum forms a magnificent Sword River, descending from the heavens, slicing through space, severing time.

"Condense!"

Feeling the power of this Sword Technique, Black Soul's expression turns extremely grave. The spiritual power within his body transforms into a rolling river, pouring into the Dark Thousand Kill Array. The young talents of Dark Night Mansion follow suit.

"Waste of effort!"

Chu Ming sneers. In an instant, the first Sword Light of the terrifying Sword Curtain descends from the sky.

Boom!

Sparks fly, and the Shadow Barrier formed by Black Soul and others trembles slightly but remains unscathed. Before they can breathe a sigh of relief, the second Sword Light descends again.

Boom! Crack!

This time, not only sparks but also a crisp sound is heard from the Shadow Barrier, piercing through the silent environment, causing Black Soul's pupils to shrink suddenly. The young talents of Dark Night Mansion lift their heads, eyes fixed nervously on the Shadow Barrier, hearts trembling.

Boom!

Following the second Sword Light, the third Sword Aura arrives, like a meteor from the sky, with a white light point ejecting from the sword tail.

Boom!

Rumble!

This time, as the third Sword Aura lands on the Shadow Barrier, the entire barrier explodes. Black Soul and the disciples of Dark Night Mansion are blasted away, retreating while blood gushes from their mouths, faces turning pale.

"No!"

Black Soul's face is filled with unwillingness. He couldn't believe that even with half of Dark Night Mansion's combined strength, they still couldn't match Chu Ming.

Facing Chu Ming's fourth Sword Light, a fierce glint flashes in Black Soul's eyes. The spiritual power within him erupts forcefully, transforming into a spiritual power river, causing the Dark Thousand Kill Array to shift instantly.

"Shadow Spear!"

Boom!

Like a thunderbolt slicing through the sky, a dark spear pierces out from space, intricately connected with the Dark Thousand Kill Array.

Boom!

Crack!

Without warning, the Shadow Spear shatters instantly. The fourth Sword Aura dims slightly but continues to slash towards Black Soul without slowing.

Slash!

Crack!

The Dark Thousand Kill Array, bearing the brunt of the fourth Sword Aura, finally collapses, shattering like a glass mirror from the center with terrifying traces spreading outward.

"Ugh..."

With the array broken, the backlash begins. The young talents of Dark Night Mansion vomit blood immediately, faces turning gray, many of them killed by the backlash, turning into white light and disappearing on the spot.

"Escape!"

Black Soul shouts fiercely, his body transforming into a stream of light, fleeing towards the distance, eyes filled with panic.

"Hmph!"

Chu Ming snorts coldly, his Martial Arts Will radiating, a faint blue light fills the entire space. Within this space, he seems like a deity overseeing everything.

"Kill!"

The Blood Dome Sword rises gently, countless terrifying blood-colored Sword Lights erupt from it, instantly engulfing the surroundings. Thud thud thud, the young talents of Dark Night Mansion perish in an instant, not one capable of facing his strike.

"Gray Shadow!"

Swoosh!

Emperor Shadow, preparing to flee, witnesses the Sword Light descending overhead, soul almost leaving his body. He instantly flees towards the distance, a shadowy figure following closely behind, hazy.

But as the Sword Aura descends, the shadowy figure brushes past like the wind, wrapping around the Sword Light, allowing Emperor Shadow to escape a thousand meters away in that instant.

"Ah!!"

"Run for your lives!!"

Except for Emperor Shadow, the other young talents of Dark Night Mansion could not escape the slaughter. To Chu Ming, killing them was as easy as slaying dogs.

"Chu Ming, just wait, I will never forgive you!!!"

Facing imminent death, Black Soul snarls viciously, eyes like a flesh-eating demon.

Boom!

As Black Soul is slain, aside from the fleeing Emperor Shadow, all the young talents of Dark Night Mansion are annihilated, the plan to encircle and kill Chu Ming utterly failing.

Sigh!

Over ten miles away, a young man in blue rushes out from space, eyes fixed behind him, as if seeing a ghost.

"How could he be that strong?!"

Emperor Shadow's heart is filled with bewilderment. Chu Ming's rise came without any hint, leaving his heart in disarray. Simultaneously, jealousy sparks within him. Originally one of the six grand figures, being overshadowed by someone is infuriating. For Snow Demon Immortal and Ling Yun, he could accept it, given their seniority by seven to eight years, but Chu Ming shares his age.

But the flame of jealousy extinguishes quickly. After this event, Chu Ming's power has left an indelible mark on his heart.

"Luckily, I learned Gray Shadow; otherwise, this would have been disastrous!"

Emperor Shadow thinks to himself. Gray Shadow is a Secret Technique, among the top in Dark Night Mansion, capable of severing one's vigor, spirit, and spirit, condensing a Law Avatar. In critical moments, it can save one's life, just like just now. Without Gray Shadow, he believes Chu Ming's strike would have killed him.

...

"Shame Emperor Shadow escaped!"

Chu Ming checks his points, totaling fifty-three thousand, ranking fourth. Ahead are Soroch, Ling Yun, and Snow Demon Immortal.

He regards Emperor Shadow's points as insignificant. What interests him more is Emperor Shadow's Gray Shadow. Such a mysterious Secret Technique must be extraordinary. Still, he only finds it intriguing. He knows Gray Shadow is likely a supreme Secret Technique of Dark Night Mansion. If he showed any intent to steal it, the Night Emperor wouldn't let him off easily.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming continues to fly aimlessly in the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm. Initially interested in exploring the mysterious black arm, after absorbing memories from the Evil Celestial Emperor, he finds out it's the remnant of Evil Celestial Emperor, losing interest.

Rumble!

After half an hour of flying, the entire Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm shrinks again, the space around becoming denser. Chu Ming tests and realizes that navigating through space has become more challenging. Though he can still traverse, the distance has dwindled to one-tenth of the original, with spiritual power consumption increased tenfold.

Swoosh!

While Chu Ming is momentarily distracted, an icy Sword Light brushes past his face.
