Entering the palace, what greeted them was endless darkness and dampness. However, Chu Ming and the others were no ordinary people and could still see things within twenty meters clearly. Beyond that distance, only blurry shadows remained. Whoosh! A black shadow suddenly shot towards them from afar at an incredible speed, reaching Chu Ming and the others in the blink of an eye. Facing the shadow, Chu Ming instantly drew his sword, and a terrifying white sword light slashed horizontally towards the shadow! Puff... The shadow was instantly cut in half, dissipating into the air, not even leaving a corpse. Chu Ming frowned, feeling a bit uneasy. "It is said that the Seven Kills King once raised many shadowless demons, and that should be one of them!" Ning Fei looked around at the darkness and said slowly. "Shadowless demons vary in strength. The weakest are on par with martial artists in the True Dao Realm, while the strongest can even rival Realm of Transcendence experts. However, after thousands of years without feeding, their strength must have degenerated to a terrifying extent!" Mo Ling explained. If the shadowless demons hadn’t weakened, Chu Ming and the others would have had no choice but to turn back immediately, or they would face certain death. They continued walking deeper in. Every few steps, a shadowless demon would ferociously pounce at them. Luckily, Chu Ming’s soul power was strong enough to detect them in advance. Boom! Just then, a figure in a green robe shot out from the palace, landing steadily in front of Chu Ming and the others. The green-robed figure had a physical form, unlike the shadowless demons that were illusory. Despite the overwhelming darkness in the palace, Chu Ming and the others could still recognize that the green-robed figure was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth, with a pale face and vacant eyes, muttering, "Un...dying...un...dying..." "Watch out!!" Chu Ming’s eyes narrowed. He sensed a deadly threat from this green-robed youth. The youth’s strength was unknown, but he was definitely not weaker than Mo Ling and Ning Fei, and possibly even as strong as Chu Ming himself. However, it puzzled him that someone could survive in the Primordial Earth Palace, which only appeared once every five thousand years. Even kings in the Life and Death Realm couldn’t live that long. "This person has been taken over by a shadowless demon, which is why he has lived until now!" Gu Muling practiced the Undying Profound Skill, making him particularly sensitive to life force. For instance, he sensed that Chu Ming’s life force was exceptionally vigorous and even carried a sharpness within it. In contrast, the green-robed youth’s life force was almost negligible, which didn’t match his apparent strength. "So he’s a prodigy who entered the Primordial Earth Palace five thousand years ago?" A shadow of sorrow covered Ning Fei’s heart as she felt sorry for the green-robed youth, who might never have imagined becoming neither human nor ghost. "Un...dying..." The green-robed youth roared and suddenly thrust his palm towards Chu Ming. The attack, filled with unstoppable power, shone with brilliant blue light! Whoosh! Chu Ming immediately raised his sword to meet the attack. A terrifying sword light transformed into a concentrated aurora, shooting straight at the green-robed youth. The layers of air in the dark shattered almost instantly. Crack! Chu Ming’s eyes narrowed. The palm strike collided with the sword light, shattering the sword light almost instantly. Although Chu Ming hadn’t used his full strength, it was evident that the green-robed youth was exceedingly formidable. If Chu Ming was not mistaken, the green-robed youth must be from a Great Domain, unlike the impoverished small domains like the Celestial Realm or the Golden Sand Domain. Only Great Domains could produce such geniuses. Bang! Bang! Bang... After one palm strike, the green-robed youth’s figure continued to fly, striking multiple terrifying palm seals towards Chu Ming. The sky was filled with blue palm prints! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Chu Ming trod lightly, his body transforming into a swift wind. His left hand’s fingers flexed, and streams of terrifying sword essence shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the palm prints! The destructive power of sword essence was a tier above his regular attacks. The moment the sword essence was released, countless palm prints shattered instantly. The palm force splattered, and the ground was broken into pieces, with debris flying everywhere. "Un...dying...un...dying..." Despite this, the green-robed youth continued to roar and attack, with dazzling blue light emanating from his palms, producing eerie howling winds. Chu Ming’s body flew gracefully, and countless Sword Dao Auroras flashed through his mind. A blurry, bright flowing cloud appeared in his sword, making the surrounding space viscous like flowing water. "Flowing Clouds Like Water!" Puff, puff, puff... As Chu Ming swung his sword, everything fell silent. Following that, the sound of shattering air resounded. It was as if heaven and earth were splitting apart! Pfft! The green-robed youth’s palm seals were instantly cut into two, and raging spiritual power exploded in both directions. A wound split open on the youth’s chest, spilling a white, viscous substance with a foul odor instead of blood. Whoosh! A black shadow rose from the green-robed youth’s body, letting out a terrifying cold laugh as it flew towards Chu Ming, causing the air to whistle sharply. "Cloud Ascension!" Out of nowhere, white clouds appeared in the palace, shifting shapes. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! A cloud could be a sword, and everything could be a sword. Wisps of white fog gathered by Chu Ming’s sword qi expanded into numerous sword lights, slashing towards the shadow! Puff, puff, puff... In an instant, the shadow was pierced, becoming fragmented and turning into black gas that dispersed into the darkness! Phew! Chu Ming took a deep breath as he landed, his eyes on the green-robed youth, whose body had collapsed with no sign of life! He gently removed the storage ring from the youth’s hand, probing it with his spiritual sense to find it full of treasures. There were three to four hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones alone, nearly ten million lower-grade spirit stones. There were also numerous elixirs, but after five thousand years, all their spiritual qi had dissipated, turning them into waste elixirs. Besides that, there was a middle-tier Earth Level palm technique, "Yin Wave Palm." After a brief glance at Yin Wave Palm, Chu Ming placed it back into the storage ring, intending to study it properly later. Though not as destructive as Cloud Swordsmanship, Yin Wave Palm was still formidable. More importantly, Chu Ming currently lacked a suitable martial technique for body refining, and Yin Wave Palm was a good choice. "Hmm?" Chu Ming pulled out an item from the storage ring—it was a green jade token.
