A small piece of green jade token, about the size of a palm, emitted a soft glow, with a blue character "冥" meticulously carved on its front, appearing quite dignified. "Does anyone recognize this jade token?" Chu Ming took out the jade token and asked lightly. "It’s probably something like a sect token that signifies a certain identity." Mo Ling suddenly said. "However, this young man is likely not from an ordinary sect. The material of this jade token is Glazed Jade, and even a palm-sized piece is quite valuable. It must come from a powerful sect." Ning Fei frowned and said slowly. The Celestial Travel Sect, as a top sect in the Celestial Realm, used Precious Dao Mark Iron for its identity tokens, which was considerably less valuable than Glazed Jade. "I read in a book that there are four great dynasties in the Celestial Profound Domain, and the Divine Light Dynasty’s token of identity is made of Glazed Jade. It seems this green-robed youth was originally a prince of the Divine Light Dynasty!" Qi Long glanced at the jade token and said. The Celestial Profound Domain is very close to the Central Divine Domain, so it produces many talented and strong individuals. Moreover, the four great dynasties each have a Life and Death Realm King presiding over them, with a heritage going back over ten thousand years. "Hmm!" Chu Ming nodded and casually tossed the jade token into the corner of his storage ring. The group continued to move forward, but after the incident with the green-robed youth, their spirits were somewhat heavy. The strength of the green-robed youth undoubtedly surpassed theirs by much, yet he still couldn’t escape death. Could they leave here alive? Along the way, the traces of the Shadow Demons became fewer and fewer. In the end, after traversing several hundred meters, they didn’t encounter a single Shadow Demon. However, an oppressive feeling lingered in the air, enveloping everyone’s hearts! Tap, tap, tap! In the empty palace, the sound of their footsteps was particularly crisp! At some point, an oppressive feeling started to weigh on Chu Ming’s heart. He frowned and looked at Mo Ling and the others behind him, only to find their faces ashen, a hint of despair in their eyes. "This atmosphere actually affects one’s mental realm!" Chu Ming was horrified. It was clear that the oppressive atmosphere was affecting the others’ martial path. Perhaps because of his strong soul power, he was less affected. After walking a few more steps, Mo Ling and the others found it hard to continue. "Brother Chu, we can’t go on anymore. We’ll wait for you here!" Mo Ling smiled bitterly and said quietly. At this moment, their spirits were almost at their limit. Continuing forward wouldn’t just ruin their martial arts, but would certainly create cracks in their martial path. "You all be careful!" Chu Ming said, then looked ahead at the still dark vast palace, as if it was a terrifying giant mouth wanting to swallow him whole. Tap, tap, tap! Chu Ming took steps forward, tightly gripping the Conjugate Sword in his right hand, his gaze attentively watching his surroundings at all times. After about half a stick of incense’s time, as the oppressive atmosphere grew stronger, just before Chu Ming could no longer bear it, the oppressive feeling suddenly vanished. Chu Ming couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief! At this moment, a huge statue stood before him. The statue was about thirteen or fourteen meters tall, wholly pitch black, and extremely eerie, with a cold light radiating from it! The statue portrayed a middle-aged man. The man was not tall, even short, with a sinister look in his eyes, thin lips, holding a small Fish Intestine Sword, yet still having a kingly demeanor. Chu Ming’s gaze fell to the base of the statue, where he was surprised to see a small line of inscription: "Seven Kills King, born in Ancient Times, died in Ancient Times, proficient in the art of assassination, slightly knowledgeable about the nature of darkness!" "This is the sculpted image of the Seven Kills King?" Indeed, one cannot judge a person’s worth by their appearance. Initially, Chu Ming would never have thought the Seven Kills King was a good man, yet in ancient times, he had assassinated over a dozen Sixth Level demons, bringing great hope to humanity. At the same time, Chu Ming discovered that it was the statue constantly emitting the oppressive aura, affecting their mental state. As for the nature of darkness, Chu Ming wasn’t sure, but he guessed it had to do with the Life and Death Realm King, similar to how Guiyuan Realm martial artists comprehend concepts, and Realm of Transcendence martial artists comprehend secret techniques. Crack, crack, crack! At this moment, a dark light ball suddenly flew down from the statue, falling steadily into Chu Ming’s hand, radiating a cold aura constantly spreading. "This...is the King’s Will of the Seven Kills King?" Chu Ming’s face changed. What is a King’s Will? Only when a martial artist broke through to the Life and Death Realm would their ordinary martial will rise to the level of King’s Will! It could be said that a King’s Will contained the lifetime insights of a Life and Death Realm King. If someone got their hands on a King’s Will, it was only a matter of time before they became a Life and Death Realm King. However, the Seven Kills King had a Dark Body and was skilled in the art of assassination, whereas Chu Ming cultivated the Sword Dao and was a swordsman. Assassins excel at hiding and delivering fatal blows to enemies, while swordsmen are sharp and unstoppable! Clearly, the martial will of the Seven Kills King was not suitable for Chu Ming! Crack, crack, crack! Crash! At this moment, countless fragments flew, and Chu Ming hurriedly retreated. He saw the statue before him fracturing into pieces, the shattered black stones shooting outwards. Chu Ming put away the King’s Will of the Seven Kills King. Perhaps the greatest gain of this expedition into the Primordial Earth Palace was this King’s Will. Seeing nothing else around, Chu Ming retraced his steps and rejoined Mo Ling and the others at their waiting spot. However, to their credit, Mo Ling and the others did not ask Chu Ming about what lay ahead. Upon exiting the Profound Hall of the Seven Kills King, there was only half a day left before the Primordial Earth Palace would close, not enough time for them to reach the next Profound Hall. Therefore, they decided to explore other parts of the Primordial Earth Palace! It’s worth mentioning that on their way, Chu Ming encountered a Seventh Level low-tier demon beast, the White Cloud Flying Crane. The seven of them together managed to kill the White Cloud Flying Crane. Half a day later, a terrifying light gate suddenly appeared in the sky above the Primordial Earth Palace, followed by a horrific suction force from the gate, which directly sucked Chu Ming and the others in! ... "Today should be the day the Primordial Earth Palace closes!" Huang Nianfei’s eyes sparkled as he looked at the Primordial Earth Palace with some envy. Though he possessed unrivaled talent, he hadn’t been lucky enough. Otherwise, he might have had the chance to become a Life and Death Realm King in the future.
