Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor

He had seen Upper Grade Spirit Stones before. When he exterminated the Burning Fire Valley, he discovered some Upper Grade Spirit Stones in its treasure vault, but there were only a dozen or so.

Generally speaking, Guiyuan Realm martial artists could use Upper Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation, but most of them still used Middle Grade Spirit Stones. Upper Grade Spirit Stones were scarce and only abundant for Great Powers of Transcendence.

Among the two stone gates, Chu Ming found a Seventh Level Spiritual Medicine, the Spiritual Essence Flower, in the other gate.

The Spiritual Essence Flower had five petals, each containing abundant Spiritual Power, comparable to an Upper Grade Spirit Stone, but the Spiritual Power was more gentle. Even Chu Ming's meridians could endure its power.

Within the Gate of Earth Deposit, every bit of strength gained meant a bit more self-preservation. Deeply understanding this principle, Chu Ming didn't leave the stone gate.

Sitting cross-legged behind the stone gate, he prepared to refine the Spiritual Essence Flower. He was currently at the Late Stage of True Dao Realm Eighth Heaven, and a Spiritual Essence Flower should elevate his cultivation to the peak of True Dao Realm Eighth Heaven.

As one petal entered his belly, a gentle Spiritual Power flowed through his meridians, and his stalled cultivation began to rise slowly. After an hour, one petal was refined, elevating his cultivation to the Middle Stage of True Dao Realm Eighth Heaven.

With two petals, his cultivation reached the peak of Middle Stage True Dao Realm Eighth Heaven.

With three petals, his cultivation reached the Late Stage True Dao Realm Eighth Heaven.

.....

When all five petals were refined, Chu Ming's cultivation reached the peak of True Dao Realm Eighth Heaven, and his internal Spiritual Power became at least thirty to forty percent stronger. A strand of Powerful Qi burst from his body, creating a row of dense small holes on the ground instantly.

Now, if facing Blood Asura Zong Ze again, he was confident in killing him within ten moves. His current combat power was invincible in the Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer, but still far from reaching Guiyuan Realm Sixth Layer.

Hoo!

Chu Ming exhaled slowly, scanned the surroundings, and upon finding nothing left behind, he turned and left.

Within the Gate of Earth Deposit, battles occurred frequently, and the remaining martial artists grew increasingly strong. Ordinary Guiyuan Realm Fifth Heaven martial artists had no survival rights anymore.

Swish!

Chu Ming entered a palace and was astonished, as inside, a dozen martial artists had gathered, including Ghost Kill, Black Armor King Hu Kui, and Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo, alongside Blood Asura Zong Ze, the Murderous Eagle Dove Blood, and Qian He, seemingly waiting for something.

Everyone's strength had more or less improved. Chu Ming glanced at the front and immediately understood.

In front of the dozen people, there was a silver skeleton, shining brilliantly, akin to the hardest mineral in the world.

The skeleton was placed on the throne at the top of the hall, with a green Storage Ring on its right finger, and everyone's gaze was mostly focused on that Storage Ring with burning desire.

"This skeleton should be the Dark Master."

Ghost Kill squinted his eyes and guessed.

The corpse of a Guiyuan Realm expert, if placed for five hundred years, would turn to dust. Only the corpse of a Great Power of Transcendence could remain unchanged for a long time.

"Perhaps the inheritance is hidden within this body."

Bloodless Finger continued, his eyes staring at the Storage Ring on the skeleton's right finger, greed flashing in his eyes.

The wealth of a Great Power of Transcendence is enough to drive anyone mad.

"City Lord, should we clear out the others first!"

Black Armor King Hu Kui suggested to Ghost Kill.

Among the martial artists present, there were three factions: the City Lord's Mansion of Black Mountain City, Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo, and a group of Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer strongmen along with some prodigies.

Undoubtedly, the City Lord's Mansion of Black Mountain City was the largest force, with two Guiyuan Realm Sixth Layer martial artists, one Guiyuan Realm Fifth Layer martial artist, and the remaining two had already perished.

"This approach is somewhat troublesome."

Ghost Kill slowly analyzed. Once Black Mountain City cleared out one faction, it would easily become a target for everyone, causing them to be besieged.

"Let's rely on our skills later!"

Ghost Kill continued. In fact, he was also somewhat distrustful of Black Armor King Hu Kui. Although Hu Kui belonged to the City Lord's Mansion,

he had only joined for a decade. The inheritance of a Great Power of Transcendence was too precious, and it was inevitable to stir his motives, complicating the situation.

Swish!

As everyone hesitated, a white figure swiftly flew towards the skeleton, like a flash of light in the air, reaching the skeleton's front in an instant.

"Hahaha, the inheritance of the Black Blood Master is mine, Mad Saber Pei Xiaofeng!"

The white figure landed, reaching out to grab the skeleton, laughing wildly. Everyone was shocked, not expecting someone to stand out at this moment.

"You should die!"

Ghost Kill squinted his eyes, an obscure dark light shot from his hand, directly piercing towards Pei Xiaofeng. Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo also slid his bloody fingers, releasing a terrifying red glow.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Boom!

Facing the joint attacks of two Guiyuan Realm Sixth Heaven strongmen, Mad Saber Pei Xiaofeng had no ability to counter, his body was directly pierced, exploding in the middle.

After Mad Saber Pei Xiaofeng, a few eager Guiyuan Realm strongmen held back their greed instantly. Everyone knew the principle of shooting the bird that stands out; Pei Xiaofeng only had his eyes blinded by greed.

In no time, the scene fell silent again, everyone waiting for the right moment.

Crack!

At this moment, a sound of bones breaking echoed, and then, the skeleton flew towards Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo amidst the shocked gazes of everyone.

Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo was overjoyed, not expecting the skeleton to fly towards him, presenting the best opportunity to claim the inheritance.

Thinking this, Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo stepped forward to grab the skeleton. However, others would not let him succeed.

Almost instantly, Black Armor King Hu Kui raised his saber to slash down, and the spectacular saber light, like a roaring silver dragon, slashed horizontally towards Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo.

Ghost Kill was closest to Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo, transforming into a shadow to intercept, a fish-gut small sword appearing in his hand, stabbing towards Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo.

Clang!

Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo's finger sleeve was crafted from precious mineral, comparable in hardness to an Earth Level Treasure Sword. When the small sword and the finger sleeve collided, sparks flew from the impact point.

At this moment, Black Armor King Hu Kui's saber light reached. Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo clenched his left fist and punched out, the violent red light instantly shattered the saber light.

Among the three Guiyuan Realm Sixth Heaven strongmen, Bloodless Finger Yuan Bo had the strongest combat power, Ghost Kill excelled in stealth, and Black Armor King Hu Kui was the weakest.
