Boom!

Facing these ordinary demons, Chu Ming's Sword Aura was even more unrestrained. With a casual strike, he could kill countless demons, and within several tens of miles, it was deadly silent.

"Wooo..."

A melodious horn sound came from the sky. The demons battling in the sky immediately aligned and flew away into the distance.

This melodious horn sound was precisely the horn of the Restricted Area commanding the demons to retreat!

The other powerful warriors of the Human Race were all staring intently at the retreating demons, expressions of having survived a catastrophe on their faces. In this era of war, the lives of the strong were equally extremely cheap.

Only after all the demons had retreated did the powerful warriors in the sky slowly return to Huangyun City!

Swoosh!

A fierce wind streaked across the sky, and immediately, a middle-aged man in a golden robe walked out from the Void, a aura of authority exuding from his face, with faint golden lightning flames leaping from his eyes.

This person was precisely the City Lord of Huangyun City, an exceptional top-tier half-step Life and Death Realm expert — the Golden Light King!

"Thank you, Blood Sword King!"

"Thank you, Phantom Spirit King!"

Approaching Chu Ming and the Phantom Spirit King, the Golden Light King bowed in thanks, a look of gratitude on his face.

"Being of the same Human Race, protecting our race is our duty!"

The Phantom Spirit King's ethereal voice floated over. To Chu Ming and the Golden Light King, the Phantom Spirit King was no different from being shrouded in a veil of mist. Even Chu Ming could only vaguely discern the voice of the Phantom Spirit King.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they returned to Huangyun City. Since the Golden Light King had to oversee the City Lord's Mansion and could not stay long, he only said a few words before returning to the City Lord's Mansion alone.

As for Chu Ming and the Phantom Spirit King, they went to a teahouse in Huangyun City, sitting on the second floor, chatting idly.

To say chatting idly was rather to discuss the Dao. After all, both of their battle strengths were infinitely close to the Life and Death Realm Kings, and both had extremely firm martial wills. Moreover, the Phantom Spirit King's martial will had already early transformed into the Bronze Level!

It can be said that regardless of her Realm or Cultivation, the Phantom Spirit King had reached the limit that a Realm of Transcendence could achieve. As long as an opportunity presented itself, her life's level could leap forward, becoming a Life and Death Realm King. Moreover, for exceptional talents like the Phantom Spirit King, once they became a Life and Death Realm king, they would at least be a High Tier Life and Death Realm king.

Of course, Chu Ming was equally not lacking. Although his Cultivation had just broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Realm of Transcendence, his battle strength could match the Phantom Spirit King, which indirectly spoke volumes about his immense potential.

"I estimate that in two or three years, you will be able to break through to the Life and Death Realm King?"

After their discussion of the Dao, Chu Ming sighed, the Phantom Spirit King was primarily cultivating the soul, and Chu Ming's soul was likewise incredibly powerful. And he had once cultivated soul attacks for a period, gaining substantial benefits from this discussion, his understanding of Soul Power deepening further.

"Ah, breaking through to the Life and Death Realm is not that easy..."

The Phantom Spirit King revealed a wry smile, shaking her head helplessly.

"Do you know how long I have been stuck at this Realm?"

The Phantom Spirit King then put away her frustration and asked back.

"How long?"

Chu Ming was slightly stunned and asked instinctively.

"Fifty years, a full fifty years. As early as fifty years ago, my battle strength had reached this level. For these fifty years, I have been seeking the opportunity to break through to the Life and Death Realm King, but to no avail!"

The Phantom Spirit King shook her head. After speaking, she drank all the tea on the table in one gulp.

"Fifty years?!"

A trace of shock flashed in Chu Ming's eyes. That the Phantom Spirit King could reach such a level, in any aspect, she must have been a young prodigy in her youth, but she was stuck in this Realm for more than fifty years. It sounded terrifying.

Chu Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Is it really so difficult to break through to the Life and Death Realm King?"

Chu Ming asked. To be honest, he knew little about the specifics of breaking through to the Life and Death Realm King. After all, the Life and Death Realm Kings were high above, not seen by ordinary people.

"Attempting to break through to the Life and Death Realm King can be hard yet simple. The first step is to elevate one's martial will to the Bronze Level!"

The Phantom Spirit King didn't hide anything, explaining slowly. Chu Ming did not interrupt, but listened quietly.

"Once the martial will ascends to the Bronze Level, the martial artist has the initial conditions to break through to the Life and Death Realm King. The second step is to absorb the Life and Death Origin. At this time, it depends on potential and talent."

"Ordinary people break through the Life and Death Realm with just one Life and Death Origin. However, for exceptional talents, the stronger the talent, the more Life and Death Origins they can absorb, and the stronger they can naturally become in the future. It is said that when the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction broke through to the Life and Death Realm, they absorbed fifty Life and Death Origins. At the breakthrough, they possessed High Tier Life and Death Realm Overlord's strength and, not long after, became Top Tier Kings!"

The Phantom Spirit King said slowly. Chu Ming listened quietly; he knew breaking through the Realm of Transcendence to the Life and Death Realm required absorbing Life and Death Origins. The Life and Death Origins were extremely rare in the world. The place with the densest Life and Death Origins on the entire continent was the Life and Death Tower.

"Can I ask how many Life and Death Origins you have absorbed?"

Chu Ming asked curiously. The Phantom Spirit King's blood seemed vibrant, every drop capable of shaking the heavens and earth, clearly indicating she had absorbed no few Life and Death Origins. Otherwise, her blood couldn't undergo such changes.

"I have absorbed twenty-three Life and Death Origins. I estimate that twenty-five Life and Death Origins are my limit."

The Phantom Spirit King said with a bitter smile. For twenty-five Life and Death Origins, she was already very satisfied. However, wanting to continue absorbing the Life and Death Origins would be a long process.

"Hmm, what should be done after absorbing enough Life and Death Origins?"

Chu Ming continued to ask.

"After absorbing enough Life and Death Origins, the next step is to condense the Life and Death Dharma Aspect. The Life and Death Dharma Aspect is a method of attack for the Life and Death Realm Kings. It is like the bloodline of the Life and Death Realm King, closely related to them!"

The Phantom Spirit King explained slowly. After speaking, a hint of longing appeared in her eyes. Although her current battle power could help her escape from ordinary Life and Death Realm Kings, she was, after all, not a true Life and Death Realm King. A true Life and Death Realm King had one significant advantage - longevity.

A Life and Death Realm King, if not perishing midway, could live for two thousand years.

"Life and Death Dharma Aspect?"

A gleam flashed in Chu Ming's eyes. When he was in the Primordial Earth Palace, he had once seen the Life and Death Dharma Aspect of the Primordial Emperor. It was utterly invincible.

The two continued chatting for a long time. With the Phantom Spirit King's long-life experience, she knew many hidden matters unknown to Chu Ming.
