Chapter 566: Chapter 366, Obtaining the Dragon Bone
"Why are you sighing, Sword Emperor?"
Chu Ming was puzzled in his heart. The revival of the Undying Tree wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. According to the books, the Undying Tree possessed Heaven-Reaching Power. By a stroke of luck, a Great Power of Transcendence once comprehended it for three days under the tree, understanding life and death, and thus breaking through into the Life and Death Realm in one fell swoop.
"The Undying Tree often revives in tumultuous times. Its revival now likely means that chaos on the Celestial Martial Continent is not far off."
The Ancient Sword Emperor shook his head and patiently explained.
"Isn’t there a spirit thought body of Sword Emperor in the Life and Death Tower?"
Although the spirit thought body of the Ancient Sword Emperor couldn’t compare with the Emperor of Creation and the Emperor of Destruction, wielding the Human Dao Sword was enough to make even the Demon Emperor shy away. Otherwise, the last time the Demon Emperor invaded the Celestial Martial Continent, he wouldn’t have retreated so easily.
"You underestimate the Demon Emperor. His cultivation is ultimately a level higher than the Life and Death Realm. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, I could severely injure him, but that was only because I relied on the Human Dao Sword. As for the last time, it was simply because the Demon Emperor had not fully recovered."
The Ancient Sword Emperor’s eyes showed a hint of worry. Having fought the Demon Race all his life, he deeply understood the strength of the Demon Emperor. Without a top-tier expert leading, it would be immensely difficult to protect the dignity of the Celestial Martial Continent.
In his heart, Chu Ming’s talent was quite good, not necessarily unparalleled for all time but exceptional for now. However, the time left for Chu Ming was too short. If given a few hundred years, the Ancient Sword Emperor believed Chu Ming could hold his own. Yet, the Demon Emperor wouldn’t give him that chance.
Boom!
At this moment, the gray-robed elder on the white high platform, taking advantage of the distraction caused by the revival of the Undying Tree, suddenly formed seals with both hands. The terrifying black seal, like a horrifying mountain, charged towards the Single-horned Cyan Bull with immense force.
"Die!!"
A crazed look flashed across the gray-robed elder’s face as the terrifying black seal reached the Single-horned Cyan Bull in an instant.
Boom!
Bam!
Caught off guard, the Single-horned Cyan Bull was directly struck by the black seal. Even with his thick skin, he was sent flying hundreds of meters away, coming close to the Dragon Bone. The violent dragon might flooded into his body, making his face change drastically.
Boom...
Countless streams of blood flowed in reverse, and the body of the Single-horned Cyan Bull directly exploded, with blood and white bones scattered all over.
"Despicable humans!!"
The Heaven-reaching Divine Ape’s expression twisted with fury. Letting out a roar, his strong arm turned into a black wind, sweeping towards the gray-robed elder. Originally, there had been three Demon Beasts on the white high platform, and now he was the only one left, leaving him with a sense of shared fate.
Puff!
In a crucial moment, the gray-robed elder’s figure suddenly drifted like a leaf in the river, giving up on the Dragon Bone and soaring into the sky. The Heaven-reaching Divine Ape’s powerful arm, instead of hitting the elder, thrust directly towards Chu Ming beside him.
"Hmm?"
With the wind howling fiercely, a cold glint flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes. The Blood Dome Sword drew a terrifying arc in the air, with a sword light so fast it reached its peak, clashing directly with the Heaven-reaching Divine Ape’s arm.
Clang!
Sparks flew as Chu Ming’s arm lightly trembled. A massive force from the Blood Dome Sword passed along the Heaven-reaching Divine Ape’s arm and into his body.
Poof...
The Heaven-reaching Divine Ape’s body slightly trembled, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. His eyes filled with wariness as he stared at Chu Ming.
Quietly turning around, he vanished into the horizon in an instant. The Dragon Bone was right in front of him, but Emperor Wuji was no more than ten meters away from it. He didn’t think he could snatch the Dragon Bone from Emperor Wuji. Compared to the elusive Dragon Bone, his own life was more precious.
Watching the Heaven-reaching Divine Ape leave, Chu Ming sneered coldly in his heart. He didn’t believe the Heaven-reaching Divine Ape couldn’t retract his arm in time. Even when he saw the gray-robed elder dodge, the Ape still charged forward, clearly intending to take it out on him. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong target.
Buzz!
At this moment, a cool sensation flowed through Chu Ming’s mind. Wherever this coolness reached, the pressure from the dragon might was instantly suppressed to nothingness.
It was the White Light Plate!
Chu Ming felt joy in his heart. To be precise, he didn’t know what the White Light Plate was, but in his view, its grade definitely surpassed that of the Celestial Martial Continent. It could be said that the White Light Plate made Chu Ming.
Now, even the dragon might couldn’t approach him. Instead, it shivered as if it had encountered something terrifying.
Whoosh!
With the Dragon Bone up ahead, Chu Ming wasted no time. He instantly flashed towards the Dragon Bone, reaching out with his left hand. A terrifying suction force emanated from his hand, causing the Dragon Bone on the white high platform to wobble, poised to fly towards him.
"What?!"
Emperor Wuji’s face changed dramatically. No matter what, he couldn’t understand why Chu Ming was suddenly immune to the dragon might. Could it be that the dragon might had dissipated? He quickly dismissed this thought, as he could clearly feel a powerful aura still suppressing him.
Boom!
"Come to me!!"
With the Dragon Bone right in front of him, Emperor Wuji certainly couldn’t let it fall into Chu Ming’s hands. His silver long saber slashed horizontally, a terrifying rage dragon transforming into a silver light, shooting across the sky and appearing in front of Chu Ming in an instant.
Whack whack whack...
"Myriad Swords Return to the Root!"
Chu Ming’s Blood Dome Sword in his right hand shone brightly as if thousands of rays of light blossomed from it at the same time. Sword light filled the air.
With his left hand, Chu Ming had already grasped half of the Dragon Bone. The bone was icy cold to the touch, with surges of evil Qi rushing straight to his mind. Fortunately, Chu Ming’s Soul Power was strong, his will steadfast. Otherwise, the evil Qi alone would have turned him into an idiot in an instant.
Boom boom boom!
The saber light and sword light collided in the narrow space, sending countless fragments of blades and swords flying in all directions. With a pull of his left hand, the Dragon Bone was stored in his Storage Ring.
Whack whack whack...
Amidst the sword light, the saber fragments rushed towards Chu Ming, forming a saber light storm in the air. Chu Ming’s Desolate Power surged within, quickly forming a Defense Armor ablaze with red flames.
Crack! Crack!
Ultimately, Chu Ming’s strength was somewhat inferior to Emperor Wuji. The saber light collided with the Defense Armor, creating dense cracks that rapidly spread outwards.
Boom!
"Poof..."
Chu Ming’s body was violently struck. He spewed a mouthful of blood. If it weren’t for his strong Body Refining Power, Emperor Wuji’s saber strike would have killed him. Even so, he was seriously injured.
Whoosh!
A streak of light flashed by as Chu Ming immediately jumped onto the Flying Shuttle. Moving at twenty times the speed of sound, he vanished before everyone’s eyes. Emperor Wuji and the many experts in the sky wanted to pursue him, but within a few breaths, Chu Ming’s figure had already disappeared.
