Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 110, Black and White Fruit

Not long after, their storage rings were already half-filled. Fortunately, Chu Ming had killed quite a few sect disciples and obtained numerous storage rings from them.

There was a sun in the Celestial Flame Secret Realm, and now it was setting in the west. The horizon was dyed red with the twilight, half of the sky aflame with crimson hues, the setting sun scattering its rays.

At this moment, Chu Ming and Lin Yumei arrived at a valley. The surroundings were barren, but deep within the valley, there was a lake with a diameter of about three to four meters.

By the lakeshore, a massive Black Feathered Scale Beast was resting. The beast was over a dozen meters long, its black scales gleaming with a dark luster.

Fifth-Level Low Tier Demon Beast, Black Feathered Scale Beast.

This Fifth-Level Low Tier Black Feathered Scale Beast had strength equivalent to a True Dao First Layer Martial Artist, and even a typical True Dao First Layer Martial Artist couldn’t match it in combat.

"This demon beast must be guarding some important spiritual medicine. Search around!"

Chu Ming’s gaze was sharp as lightning, scanning the area continuously. Finally, he found a valuable spiritual medicine beside the lake.

This spiritual medicine was entirely black, bearing a fruit with white specks. At the end of the fruit, there was a tuft of red fuzz, looking exceedingly bizarre.

"So it’s the Fifth-Level Black and White Fruit that it’s guarding!"

Chu Ming drew back his gaze and said.

"Black and White Fruit?"

Lin Yumei raised her eyebrows.

The Black and White Fruit holds extraordinary value as a Fifth-Level Spiritual Medicine. On the market, it would fetch at least tens of thousands of Lower Grade Spirit Stones, possibly up to twenty thousand if it was scarce.

Its primary function was to increase a martial artist’s internal spiritual power reserves. If Chu Ming consumed it, his strength would likely surge instantly to the pinnacle of the Transcendence Seventh Layer.

Moreover, consuming the Black and White Fruit came without any side effects.

Roar!

The enormous Black Feathered Scale Beast noticed Chu Ming and Lin Yumei, standing up abruptly. Immediately, a surge of overwhelming demonic energy burst forth, causing a storm in the small valley. Rocks were flung everywhere, raising clouds of dust.

"Junior Sister Lin, stand back!"

Chu Ming commanded Lin Yumei, drawing his Blue Red Sword simultaneously. The sword tip vibrated, releasing swathes of Sword Light that sliced through the air.

Without Chu Ming needing to say more, Lin Yumei had already retreated to a safe distance. Even if she ranked eighth among the core disciples, she could only barely match a True Dao First Layer Martial Artist. To kill one was impossible.

Only those within the top five core disciples had the strength to kill a True Dao Martial Artist. As one ascended in strength, the gap between realms grew larger, especially between the Transcendence and True Dao Realms.

Perhaps at the Ninth Postnatal Layer, they could kill a Transcendence Realm martial artist. But in the Transcendence Realm, it was impossible to kill a True Dao Realm martial artist. Those who could do it were rare prodigies.

Boom!

The massive body of the Black Feathered Scale Beast lunged at Chu Ming with a fierce wind, emptying the air around them, and Wind Blades sliced through the atmosphere.

"Three Talents Swordsmanship!"

Three radiant Sword Flowers blossomed from Chu Ming’s sword, illuminating the dusk-covered valley in an instant.

The Black Feathered Scale Beast had four sharp claws. With a slight shake, dozens of black claw marks erupted, filling the air with a howling wind.

Boom boom boom!

The Sword Light clashed with the claw marks, mutually annihilating each other, sending shockwaves in all directions. The ground was pitted with black holes the size of thumbprints.

After one strike, Chu Ming immediately executed his Nine Clone Techniques. Nine silver shadows appeared in the air, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the illusory, confusing the senses.

The Black Feathered Scale Beast had developed some basic wisdom, showing a hint of doubt in its eyes. It opened its mouth and spewed dozens of black spheres, each equivalent to an attack from a True Dao First Layer Martial Artist. Even True Dao Second Layer martial artists would have to avoid them temporarily.

Boom boom boom...

Five illusory clones were struck by the black spheres, dissipating into white smoke that slowly faded away. The remaining four clones surrounded the Black Feathered Scale Beast, thrusting their swords simultaneously, casting layers of Sword Shadows and blinding white light.

Pfft!

The sound of a sword piercing flesh rang out as Chu Ming’s sword struck the Black Feathered Scale Beast’s left chest. His Sword Force erupted, and innumerable strands of Sword Qi penetrated its body, causing black scales to fall like rain.

The remaining three clones disappeared, revealing Chu Ming’s true form. His face was handsome and his white robes fluttered, a flash of murderous bloodlust in his eyes.

Roar!

Chu Ming’s sword had slightly wounded the Black Feathered Scale Beast, but these wounds were negligible for such a massive beast.

"Thousand Leaves Annihilation!"

Chu Ming gathered his spiritual power, creating an incandescent Spiritual Barrier. Countless tiny Sword Auras burst forth from the Blue Red Sword, drifting like falling leaves.

In an instant, Chu Ming closed the gap to the Black Feathered Scale Beast. The fierce Sword Qi raged like a volcanic eruption, carving chaotic furrows into the ground, with incessant spatial cracking sounds.

Boom boom boom!

The Black Feathered Scale Beast’s eyes gleamed fiercely. Its body began to grow without wind, instantly doubling in size. Its black feathers resembled long swords.

Whoosh!

A strong gust blew, and all of the Black Feathered Scale Beast’s feathers shed, transforming into countless sharp swords, their tips shining darkly, filling the space with an oppressive inky blackness.

Clang clang clang...

The black feathers and Sword Qi collided and shattered. After one strike, Chu Ming didn’t pause, instantly appearing behind the Black Feathered Scale Beast. His left hand formed a palm, unleashing scorching flames that incinerated the air.

"Gale Palm!"

"Frenzied Dragon Swordsmanship!"

With his left hand emitting heat and his right hand ice-cold, countless icy Sword Auras surged from the Blue Red Sword, resembling a massive blue dragon sweeping toward the Black Feathered Scale Beast.

Thud!

Although the Gale Palm was a Profound Level Low Tier martial technique, Chu Ming had mastered it. With the enhancement of his Fifth Layer Burning Fire True Skill, he instantly broke through the Black Feathered Scale Beast’s defense.

Simultaneously, the Frenzied Dragon Swordsmanship directly sliced half of the Black Feathered Scale Beast’s body apart. Blood gushed out as its body convulsed in midair before gradually stopping, lifeless.

Thud! fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

A Sword Light flashed, and Chu Ming decapitated the Black Feathered Scale Beast. Finding nothing but blood inside, his face showed slight disappointment; there was no Demon Core.

"Junior Sister Lin, stand guard for me!"

Chu Ming picked the Black and White Fruit, instructed Lin Yumei, and then used his sword to carve out a two-meter-wide cave in the valley wall, focusing on absorbing the Black and White Fruit.
