"Let’s check out the other palaces!" Chu Ming said calmly to the others. Previously, they had already searched a quarter of the Celestial Hall. Considering the half that had collapsed, only a quarter remained unexplored! Unfortunately, it seemed as if their previous luck had run out this time. Although they found something, it was barely useful. BOOM! Just as they were searching the palace, a loud rumbling sound erupted. Rubble scattered everywhere as a massive and terrifying black shadow flew from a distance, blotting out the sky. The imposing aura instantly enveloped the entire Celestial Hall, a slight chill in the air. "This is bad, it’s a Seventh Level Demon Beast!" Chu Ming’s eyes narrowed as he looked up at the sky. A giant firebird was rapidly descending. Its wings spread out to a hundred meters wide, and its eyes glowed green like lanterns. As it flew, small flames occasionally fell from the sky, leaving black marks on the ground. "It’s a Seventh Level Middle Tier Demon Beast, the Flame Firebird!" Mo Ling’s eyes flashed with fear. A Seventh Level Demon Beast could rival a Guiyuan Realm Third Layer martial artist, far beyond what they could handle. Even Chu Ming had no chance of resisting it. BOOM! Behind the Flame Firebird, several dark shadows sped forward—there were Single-horned Demon Rhinoceroses, Ghost-faced Cyan Bulls, and Iron Purple Tigers, all heading towards the Celestial Hall. It was evident that the Life and Death Dharma Aspect of the Primordial Emperor once guarded the Celestial Hall, preventing these beasts from approaching. But now that the Life and Death Dharma Aspect had dissipated, the treasures within the Celestial Hall held a deadly allure for them. "We need to leave here quickly!" A trace of gravity flashed in Chu Ming’s eyes. He turned and flew in the direction opposite to the Demon Beasts, with Mo Ling and Ning Fei closely following behind. Chu Ming moved extremely fast, covering a hundred meters in just a breath. The others were not slow either. Just as they left the Celestial Hall, dust flew everywhere, and Demon Beasts swarmed into the hall, creating utter chaos! After half an hour, Chu Ming and the others stopped on a hill, looking towards the direction of the Celestial Hall. They could still hear the roars of countless Demon Beasts faintly, with blood splattering across the sky, indicating intense carnage! "We can’t go back to the Celestial Hall. We’ll have to check other places!" Ning Fei suggested. In the Primordial Earth Palace, there are four Profound Halls and one Celestial Hall. Since they couldn’t return to the Celestial Hall, they could only explore the Profound Halls. Excluding the first one they searched, three more palaces remained. After a brief discussion, they decided to head towards the eastern Profound Hall. At this moment, only one day remained in the three-day period. ... Outside, a day earlier, the three sects in the Golden Sand Domain had already dispatched Realm of Transcendence strongmen. This time, a total of four people arrived. Two from Black Moon Mountain, one each from Blue Mountain Sect and Sun Moon Lake. Including the Sun Lake Flame and Po Wu, each sect had two Realm of Transcendence experts. There were not many Realm of Transcendence experts in the Golden Sand Domain, with each sect having only three or four. This time, the three sects almost brought half of their strength to the exit of the Primordial Earth Palace. The two from Black Moon Mountain were black-robed elders with shriveled faces and sinister gazes, exuding powerful qi. They looked at Ancient Sword Peak, filled with murderous intent! The one from Sun Moon Lake was the Moon Lake Aquaman, a blue sea monster. Wherever it moved, the space around it was eroded, transforming into a pool of clear water, frighteningly ominous. From Blue Mountain Sect came Po Wu’s master, Huang Nianfei, known as the Blade Master Boundless in Golden Sand Domain. Speaking of Huang Nianfei, martial artists in the Golden Sand Domain would shudder. A hundred years ago, like Po Wu today, he was a powerful Blade Master obsessed with the blade to an extreme degree. He single-handedly annihilated dozens of sects, earning immense merits for the Blue Mountain Sect. Seeing the six Realm of Transcendence experts, the leader of the sect, Wan Shui Real, felt a chill down his spine. Excluding Huang Nianfei, he was not afraid of facing one alone, but encountering six at once meant certain death. However, he glanced at Ancient Sword Peak, revealing a bitter smile. Ancient Sword Peak remained indifferent, without a hint of fear in his eyes. Fearless as a newborn calf facing a tiger! "Ancient Sword Peak, you killed Black Blood Real; if you don’t give us an explanation today, it will be a fight to the death!" Black Moon Mountain’s Realm of Transcendence elder, Wang An, spoke coldly. Beside him, the Killing Ice Real’s eyes were just as chilling as they glared at Ancient Sword Peak. Black Moon Mountain once had four Realm of Transcendence experts. Including the deceased Black Blood, only three remained now. Their power had been reduced by a quarter, and their influence in the Golden Sand Domain had plummeted! "Do you also want an explanation from me?" Ancient Sword Peak did not answer but looked towards Blue Mountain Sect and Sun Moon Lake, asking in return. The Sun Lake Flame exchanged glances with the Moon Lake Aquaman, then said with a sigh, "We do not seek any explanations from you. We are merely here to pick up our sect’s prodigies!" "Though I am eager to fight you, now is not the right time!" Huang Nianfei said blandly. As a Blade Master himself, he had his pride. The strength of Ancient Sword Peak had clearly stirred his fighting spirit, but their Sect Leader had instructed him not to cause trouble, leaving him with no choice. "You!" Wang An and Killing Ice Real’s expressions changed, their faces full of anger as they stared at the four from Sun Moon Lake and Blue Mountain Sect. They had hoped the six would join forces to kill Wan Shui Real and Ancient Sword Peak to avenge Black Blood Real! To their surprise, Sun Moon Lake and Blue Mountain Sect, usually their allies, chose to back off now. This left Wang An and Killing Ice Real feeling stuck. From Po Wu, they knew that even combined, he and Black Blood Real fell under Ancient Sword Peak’s blade with ease. Together, they were no more powerful and could also end up dead. "Hmph!" Wang An snorted, flew aside, closed his eyes, and chose to retreat! Seeing Wang An withdraw, a hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of those from Sun Moon Lake and Blue Mountain Sect; they had hoped he would stand firm and lead to mutual destruction, causing Black Moon Mountain to fall. Ancient Sword Peak had already anticipated this. The white robe fluttered as he looked indifferently at the exit of the Primordial Earth Palace. Inside the Primordial Earth Palace, Chu Ming had arrived at the eastern Profound Hall, the former sleeping quarters of the Seven Kills King. The Seven Kills King was not considered strong among the followers of the Primordial Emperor, but he had a Dark Body and assassinated many Sixth Level Demons during the Ancient Times, gaining renown across the continent.
