Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor
Chapter 721 721: Ninth Layer of the Realm of Transcendence
"How is it possible?! Weren't the Demon Kings supposed to be held back by the Human Race's Life and Death Realm Kings? How could a Demon King have still made it to the battlefield?"
A figure dressed in red robes frantically fled across the sky. Chu Ming's face was full of anxiety. As he scanned with his Soul Power, he realized the crack in the sky above the Nine Heavens Sacred Land had already spread for thousands of meters. Half of Demon King Caesar's body had emerged from it.
Chu Ming didn't dare hesitate. He knew well the power of the Demon King. Even though he was already considered top-tier among the Half-step Life and Death Realm Kings, if this Demon King descended, killing him would likely take but a moment.
Among the Human Race's prodigies present, aside from the Phantom Spirit King who could barely escape, no one else had any chance!
Boom!
It was as if a thunderstorm exploded in the sky. Suddenly, a massive dark shadow loomed in the void. The midair of the Nine Heavens Sacred Land was directly torn apart, and rolling Demonic Qi seeped through, plunging the entire Sacred Land into darkness.
Boom!
A terrifying giant black foot extended from the void, fiercely smashing half of the Nine Heavens Sacred Land into pieces. Cries of agony filled the air as countless disciples of the Sacred Land perished in an instant.
"Salute to Demon King Caesar!"
Facing the enormous and terrifying dark shadow, the Blood Rain Demon General, Ice and Snow Demon General, and four others knelt down in trembling reverence, their heads touching the ground.
"Where are those Human kids?"
Caesar's voice was deep and thunderous, his terrifying aura towering to the sky. Except for the Blood Rain Demon General, the other Demon Generals didn't even dare raise their heads, fearing Demon King Caesar's notice.
"They fled in that direction!"
The Blood Rain Demon General respectfully pointed in the direction Chu Ming had fled.
This trap was mainly aimed at the Blood Sword King. After all, Chu Ming was a titled prodigy, and if he grew up, he would become a dire threat to the Restricted Area's heart.
As for the Phantom Spirit King, although the Restricted Area also wanted to eliminate him, his strength meant that while he might not be stronger than a Demon King, escaping a Demon King's grasp wasn't a problem. Other prodigies like the Power God King or the Black Thunder King posed no threat to the Restricted Area. Even if they were allowed to grow, the most they would become were High Tier Kings, whose influence on the battlefield was minimal.
"Hmm, destroy the Nine Heavens Sacred Land completely. I'll chase after them!"
Caesar responded in a deep voice, then his body turned into a mist and vanished!
Whew!
Only after Caesar left did the other Demon Generals breathe a sigh of relief. Caesar's oppression was immense. Despite being among the Ten Great Demon Generals and holding significant status in the Restricted Area, the ranks within the Demon Race were cruel, with survival of the fittest. Even if Caesar killed them, the Demon Emperor wouldn't care!
Boom!
"Kill!!"
The Blood Rain Demon General howled, waving his arm lightly. Instantly, the sky turned blood-red, devouring the Nine Heavens Sacred Land. The other Demon Generals, their faces twisted in malice, struck as well, their terrifying powers shaking the entire cosmos!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The faces of the Nine Heavens Sacred Land's people were filled with despair. Facing the six Demon Generals, they were destined for slaughter.
...
"Not good, a Demon King is here!!"
Chu Ming's face darkened, his heart filled with anxiety. He had already pushed his Body Technique to its peak but could still feel the deadly aura rapidly approaching, like a dark beast wanting to swallow him whole.
Boom!
The void trembled softly, and a terrifying black hand stretched out from the rift in the space, reaching for Chu Ming. Under this claw, the entire starry sky dimmed, and the terrifying Demonic Qi swept across the nine heavens and ten earths.
"No!!"
Chu Ming roared in anger in his heart. Under this black hand, he felt a fatal threat. If it struck him, he would undoubtedly be killed immediately.
"Burial Sword!"
The Blood Dome Sword suddenly appeared in Chu Ming's hand. Simultaneously, the golden Spiritual Power from his thirty-two Spiritual Apertures continuously surged into his body.
Rumble!
A terrifying aura burst from Chu Ming. His height reached several hundred meters, and the boundless Sword Momentum seemed eternal. Barely having time to feel the wild Spiritual Power within, Chu Ming gripped the Blood Dome Sword with both hands, slashing five times frantically ahead. Terrifying Sword Light transformed into an Aurora, piercing the heavens.
Rumble!
However, under the terrifying black hand, Chu Ming's Sword Light was too weak. The first four Sword Lights were snuffed out instantly, while the last one barely held for a moment before being shattered.
Poof!
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Chu Ming's body was blasted away, half of his body shattered by the terrifying black hand. Blood sprayed everywhere. If not for having cultivated the Primordial Body Refining Technique, that strike from Caesar would have obliterated him!
Even so, half of his meridians were broken, leaving him with no strength to continue fighting.
"Hmm?"
A cold, puzzled voice came from the void. There, Caesar's icy eyes locked onto Chu Ming with surprise, not having killed him with one strike!
"Hmph!"
Caesar quickly dismissed his surprise, snorted coldly, and struck again. His terrifying Palm Force swept through the void, enveloping it, and violently smashing toward Chu Ming!
Boom!
This strike caused stars to wither and fall, its terrifying aura obliterating several stars. Chu Ming's face turned pale; the power of a Demon King was far beyond his resistance.
"The only way to survive now is to break through!"
Chu Ming thought to himself, gritting his teeth. He detonated his Spiritual Power, transforming it into a terrifying river of energy, crashing towards the barrier of the Ninth Layer of the Realm of Transcendence.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening roars echoed in Chu Ming's ears, his heart aching from the tremendous power assaulting the barrier.
Boom!
Crack!
In a brief moment, a terrifying surge of Spiritual Power swept from the sky. Chu Ming's aura surged as the winds roared, and clouds swirled. His wounds healed rapidly, but he didn't dare hesitate!
"Dark Devouring!"
Boom!
Terrifying Sword Light burst from the Blood Dome Sword. Having broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Realm of Transcendence, Chu Ming's combat power soared two or three times, reaching the level of the Phantom Spirit King. With a swing of his sword, the entire starry sky dimmed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosive energy surged as Chu Ming's body continuously retreated, his blood and energy churning. The entire world was split by the relentless Sword Light!
"Has he broken through?"
Caesar's gaze lingered on Chu Ming, his eyes narrowing with intense killing intent!
"This kid cannot be allowed to live!"
