If not for his Nine Nines Mysteries Art and the fledgling stage of his Limitless Dao Body, the sword soul would have ripped him apart by now.

  This is a bit too tyrannical!

  The two Earth Immortals just stood there and looked in doubt. Why weren’t they attacking? He keeps getting injured and by the look of things, he’d soon be laying cold too.

  Chen Ming spat blood with the shift in his innards, This isn’t good! I feel like my insides are getting pummeled!

  He could no longer wait with all the blood pouring out of him. The situation was getting dire.

  I need to settle these two fast and get back to suppressing my injuries.

  With Two Year Cicada’s buzzing, it began to show a different reaction thanks to his sword soul. It was moved.

  Vanishing Immortal Sword!

  Two Year Cicada flashed a hundred times, yet Chen Ming didn’t let it go. He was still holding on to his immortal sword!

  The hit sliced one Earth Immortal to pieces, “The side effect is a bit high, but at least its power is excellent.”


  With no hesitation on his part, he deployed the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps. With the azure dragon at his feet, he was in front of his enemy in but a move. The immortal took out an immortal sword to defend but it was sliced right through it. The next slash then tore him to bits while the rampant sword intent made sure to leave only dust behind.

  Chen Ming was dripping blood, working his all into activating Illustrious Casket to heal. Soon, his spiritual power acted to recover his wounds.

  Chen Ming spat another mouthful of blood, “No worries. I won’t die just yet. Spitting again and again is gonna become a habit.”


  Sheathing his saber, Chen Ming knew he couldn’t drag this out for long. His condition was too bizarre, his body unable to cope with his sword soul’s power.

  I formed the sword soul inside me and use its power in battle while I’ll have to raise it in times of peace!

  Chen Ming turned back into a crow and flew to Obsidian Temple. He landed in Feng Lu’s courtyard, turning to normal before him. He went straight to the point, “Abbot Feng Lu, it’s better you don’t know what happens next.”


  Feng Lu was an Earth Immortal and got his meaning. He held his hands in prayer, “Sire, relax, this old monk will take his disciples and leave.”


  Chen Ming sat on a praying mat, spatting blood again, “Still not done?”


  Feng Lu informed the temple of the eruption of the beast tide and left with all his monks.

  Feng Lu’s action wasn’t able to escape Zi Yang and the old Daoist soon discovered a bloody black-clothed man in his courtyard.

  “You’re that little Daoist!”


  “No! I sent four Earth Immortals and yet none returned. You can only be the Lord of Yan Mountain!”


  Chen Ming waved dismissively, “Stop talking. This Immortal Master doesn’t have the time for your nonsense.”


  Zi Yang sensed his sword intent flaring out, sensed the sword soul.

  But what was scary was that it wasn’t under control!

  Stars flitted from Chen Ming’s back, setting up the Allheaven Stellar Array. He eyed the old Daoist to find his danger value at 18,000.

  I don’t even now mine, but it has to be incredibly high!

  Chen Ming turned to his, 21,000.

  Well good, at least this part is honest, though it’s close to sending me to my grave!

  I’ll just end this guy then return to Yan Mountain and recover!

  Only the Transcending realm Chen Lingyu would be able to help ameliorate this state of his.

  Allheaven Stellar Array pressed down while Two Year Cicada flashed smoothly and naturally.

  Chen Ming turned the temple to ruble with that alone, and slashed at Zi Yang with Vanishing Immortal Sword!

  The old Daoist kept it at bay with a purple pill furnace hanging overhead, yet the immortal pressure made him shiver.

  Zi Yang coughed blood as the ground sank tens of feet. He said, “Get over here and kill him! The plan is already out!”


  Five Earth Immortals flew to encircle Chen Ming.

  Zi Yang gestured and a purple flame flew. It was the Golden Purple Flame, though nothing special, it contained the terrifying power of an Earth Immortal. But the strongest asset of the old Daoist wasn’t this flame, it was his control of it!

  He shifted the flame into firewalls, bearing down on Chen Ming like a maze.

  Chen Ming’s eyes glanced around. For hundreds of li around him, this purple flame baked his body till it hurt!

  Chen Ming’s body shivered, A flame is but a toy!

  Allheaven Stellar Array’s pressure didn’t let up with each glittering of stars, overpowering the flames.

  Zi Yang felt it, “You’re an array master? What’s this immortal array?”


  Chen Ming laughed, wanting to speak, only to puke blood.

  Never mind, I don’t feel like it.

  Why do the dead need to know so much?

  Chen Ming got up and Two Year Cicada flashed, sending three slashes.

  The first tore the pill furnace, the second Zi Yang’s immortal armor, and the last himself.

  Chen Ming stashed his storage ring and the immortal equipment then turned to the five flying Earth Immortals. Their charge was to fast, blocking him from suppressing the sword soul, while also puking another mouthful.

  His body wreaked with anguish, feeling not in the least bit good.

  With his heart heavy and pained, he sicked Allheaven Stellar Array on them, “Get down here!”


  Stars fell. Thought they tried fighting the array with their immortal power, it was no use.

  Their futile resistance only earned them in taking turns in puking blood.

  Chen Ming unleashed the Vanishing Immortal Sword, one strike per man, killing all of them without fault.

  Chen Ming took their immortal equipment and corpses then gestured for a sea of fire to appear.

  With the battlefield settled, he flew towards the Expansion Star. He needed to get to the Scarlet Tide Continent as soon as possible. Only Chen Lingyu could save him.
