"Alas, you are too impulsive."
Master Wanshui shook his head and said.
"No worries!"
Gu Jianfeng said indifferently. He understood Master Wanshui’s meaning; this place is only a day’s journey from the Golden Sand Domain, and both Po Wu and the Fire Man of Suntan have their sect’s communication tools. If they summon reinforcements, a day’s time would be enough.
Master Heixue is the Supreme Elder of Black Moon Mountain, holding a high and prestigious position there, yet he was slain by Gu Jianfeng. Black Moon Mountain will definitely not let this go easily. Although Black Moon Mountain cannot compare to the Celestial Travel Sect, the relationships among the three sects in Golden Sand Domain are complex and interconnected. A slight move could affect the entire situation, and the greatest possibility is a war between the Celestial Realm and Golden Sand Domain.
"Rest assured, there won’t be a conflict!"
Gu Jianfeng said confidently. He’s not a fool; precisely because he received some secrets from Qingxuan King, he dared to make a full move this time. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the wrath of Black Moon Mountain.
Master Wanshui remained silent.
A thousand miles away, the Fire Man of Suntan and Po Wu appeared simultaneously. Both sought help from their respective sects at the same time. Given the current situation, even if the sect disciples came out from the Primordial Earth Palace, they wouldn’t dare to assist.
...
Swish!
A ray of light flashed by, and Chu Ming landed steadily, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He saw a desolate land, with dead trees lying horizontally and numerous traces of insects and ants gnawing on them.
Looking at the scenery, Chu Ming frowned. Is this the Primordial Earth Palace?
"I should find others first!"
Chu Ming flew away, randomly choosing a direction, disappearing at the edge.
At the same time, other prodigies appeared in the Primordial Earth Palace. Their locations were random; some appeared in swamps, some in forests, while the lucky ones appeared directly in the Spirit Medicine Garden.
After flying for half a day, Chu Ming’s ears twitched as buzzing sounds reached him. His face changed drastically, and he looked a hundred meters away, seeing a dark mass of flying insects surrounding him.
These flying insects were the size of a fist, their eyes gleaming with bloodthirst, and their teeth protruding from their mouths, emitting a chilling glow. Just a glance was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
Spirit-devouring bees!
Chu Ming’s pupils constricted. Without hesitation, he flew in the opposite direction. Although spirit-devouring bees are only third-level demon beasts, even ordinary Guiyuan Realm experts wouldn’t easily provoke them because they are swarm beasts and can devour the spiritual power on a martial artist’s body, breaking their defenses.
In the outside world, spirit-devouring bees are extremely rare, but he encountered them just upon entering the Primordial Earth Palace.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As soon as Chu Ming moved, these spirit-devouring bees pounced on him, the buzzing sound continuous, enveloping Chu Ming in a dark mass.
Compared to Chu Ming, the spirit-devouring bees’ biggest weakness is their slow speed, given that they are only third-level demon beasts.
An hour later, Chu Ming had shaken off the spirit-devouring bees. He arrived at a valley, green grass flourishing, birds chirping, and flowers blooming. Not far away, there was a small lake, the water rippling, crystal clear.
Chu Ming closed his eyes briefly and then opened them. According to his senses, there were no terrifying presences around. However, it could also be that his strength was insufficient to sense them.
Taking one step, Chu Ming appeared at the edge of the lake, looking at the lakebed. The lake surface was calm, clear at a glance. Somehow, while gazing at the tranquil surface, Chu Ming vaguely saw a beautiful and ethereal woman’s visage.
The woman’s beauty was unmatched, her eyes closed, her face free from any mundane makeup, like a celestial being descended to the mortal world. Among the women Chu Ming had seen, she was definitely top-tier.
But in an instant, the lake surface shattered, like a peaceful mirror drawing out layers of wrinkles, transforming into illusion. Chu Ming woke up suddenly, cold sweat dripping down his body. This lake surface seemingly possessed some magic power, making one unwittingly fascinated.
Just now, at that instant, his soul was completely defenseless. If someone had attacked him, he would have had no resistance.
"Weird!"
Chu Ming sighed lightly. This Primordial Earth Palace is filled with eerie and shocking oddities.
Leaving the valley, half a day later, Chu Ming encountered the first person in the Primordial Earth Palace, an inner sect disciple of Black Moon Mountain named Xu Qing. At this moment, Xu Qing was fleeing in panic, chased by a fierce and terrifying demon beast. The terrifying beast’s footsteps lightly stepped, causing the ground to crumble.
As Chu Ming found Xu Qing, Xu Qing also saw Chu Ming.
A trace of malice flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He instantly changed direction, flying towards Chu Ming, his feet swift. The terrifying demon beast followed close behind, a low-tier seventh-level demon beast called Mammoth Giant Beast. It looked like it was forged from steel, with spikes growing under its feet. In its run, its mouth opened occasionally, emitting roars that altered the sky and tore the clouds.
"Seeking death!"
A cold glint flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes. His right hand wielded the Conjugate Sword, striking out the moment Xu Qing approached. The dazzling sword aura flashed like stars, piercing through Xu Qing’s body directly.
"Pff... you..."
Xu Qing’s eyes dimmed, collapsing and dying. He probably never thought that he was just trying to use Chu Ming to fend off the Mammoth Giant Beast, but was ruthlessly killed by Chu Ming.
Swish!
Taking Xu Qing’s Storage Ring, Chu Ming didn’t flee. Instead, he approached the Mammoth Giant Beast step by step. His momentum surged with each step. Although he didn’t have the strength to defeat the low-tier seventh-level demon beast, he could at least contend with it.
Moreover, his primary goal was to ascertain his combat power level.
"Roar!"
The Mammoth Giant Beast let out a ferocious roar, its eyes turning blood-red in an instant. It had a trace of ancient celestial bloodline, emanating immense aura as it walked, as grand as the midday sun.
Feeling its dignity challenged, the Mammoth Giant Beast’s front legs stomped, and two flames beneath its feet merged into the ground, transforming into countless fissures, extending towards Chu Ming.
"Deceitful Sword!"
Right away, Chu Ming unleashed his sword technique. Ordinary sword techniques probably couldn’t even break the Mammoth Giant Beast’s defense.
With a single swing, countless illusionary rays flew around Chu Ming, creating an illusory world. These rays encircled and attacked the Mammoth Giant Beast.
Crunch!
The Mammoth Giant Beast lightly flicked its nose, fierce winds like waves scattered, directly shattering the illusory sword light, sending sword force flying in all directions.
