Boom!

It was as if ten thousand thunderbolts were galloping through the sky, crackling and roaring. One by one, the powers of thunder transformed into countless fierce beasts and birds, their sharp screeches echoing throughout the heavens. The beasts surged, and the thunder raged incessantly.

The Ninth Thunder Tribulation!

Swish!

Chu Ming's gaze was indifferent. The Secrets of Slaughter erupted, forming a Domain of Slaughter within a hundred meters around him. The constant sound of swords rang out, and any exotic beast of thunder that entered was immediately reduced to powder.

"Myriad Swords Return to the Root!"

Boom!

Thousands of rays of Sword Dao brilliance shot out from the Blood Dome Sword. At this moment, Chu Ming was completely immersed in the Heart Sword Realm. Every sword strike he executed was to its utmost power, without wasting a single bit.

Puff, puff, puff...

The sword light soared freely, piercing through the several demon beasts ahead in an instant. The power of thunder dissipated, turning into mist, but there were simply too many thunder exotic beasts in the sky. Even though Chu Ming could kill one with a single strike, it felt like there was a black hole in the blood-colored tribulation cloud, from which more beasts continuously emerged.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The six-armed Asura appeared like a blood-colored godslayer, each punch killing several thunder exotic beasts, but in the face of the infinite beasts, it was still a mere drop in the ocean.

"To overcome the Ninth Thunder Tribulation, the blood-colored tribulation cloud in the sky must be shattered!"

Chu Ming frowned, hundreds of thunder exotic beasts had already surrounded him and the six-armed Asura completely. Each thunder exotic beast was equivalent to a low tier Realm of Transcendence martial artist at the sixth layer, and he and the six-armed Asura were under simultaneous assault from hundreds of these beings.

Even a peak seventh-layer Realm of Transcendence expert would meet their end under such circumstances.

"Burial Sword!"

Blood-colored petals fluttered in the air, the Secrets of Slaughter erupted, and the Blood Dome Sword drew a terrifying arc through the sky, slicing the space instantly.

Puff, puff, puff...

With one swipe of the sword, several thunder exotic beasts were pierced, the crackling sound of thunder scatterring chaotically.

Swish!

Chu Ming's body transformed into a streak of sword light, piercing through the space, rushing toward the blood-colored tribulation cloud high in the sky, his expression calm and cold.

"What is he trying to do?!"

Mu Xinghe looked puzzled, thinking it was a feat for Chu Ming to hold out this long. Even Emperor Wuji would have no chance of surviving under this tribulation.

Boom!

"He's actually rushing into the tribulation cloud?!"

The direct disciples of the Great Freedom Palace were utterly shocked, looking maniacal. They had never seen such a crazy person before. Others avoided thunder tribulations at all costs, but this person was facing it head-on, truly terrifying.

"Mad, mad, this person is certainly mad."

The martial artists all looked numb. Chu Ming's actions had completely overturned their worldviews.

Boom!

Chu Ming grabbed with his left hand, a horrifying suction force spread out, directly crushing a thunder exotic beast. The undying divine power within it flowed endlessly, having refined the Undying Tree, merging with it, the boundless undying divine power filled his body, seemingly inexhaustible.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bathed in blood light, one thunder exotic beast after another was shattered by Chu Ming. The crackling sound of thunder resounded, and it wasn't long before Chu Ming was submerged by the endless thunder exotic beasts.

Three hundred miles away, everyone watched this scene, feeling a bit emotional.

"A peerlessly talented genius had finally appeared, but it's a pity that he has fallen nonetheless."

Mu Xinghe sighed, surrounded by so many thunder exotic beasts, Chu Ming had no chance of survival.

Within the circle of thunder exotic beasts, the spiritual power within Chu Ming's body had been depleted by more than half. Threads of Secrets of Slaughter leaped in his mind like thin silver strands, intertwining with the Burial Sword. Though the Burial Sword was originally a technique of the Sword Emperor, in Chu Ming's hands, it still showed no signs of weakness, faintly carrying the aura of the Sword Emperor from back then.

With his Slaughter Sword Intent perfected, Chu Ming could have comprehended a low-tier secret martial arts technique. At this moment, the two intertwined, and Chu Ming faintly realized something. A door to Sword Dao opened slowly before him, countless rays of Sword Dao aurora flashed in his eyes.

"Break!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

An extremely aggressive sword light soared, seemingly freely wandering across the sky, bursting forth from Chu Ming's sword. The thunder exotic beasts within five to six hundred meters ahead instantly turned to ash.

One sword light followed another, the second, the third...

By the fifth sword light, the light had already torn through the horizon, like a pillar of light crashing into the sky.

Boom!

In the sky, the terrifying blood-colored tribulation cloud shattered with a blast, like a blood-red thunder flame breaking apart into countless pieces. Thin wisps of thunder flame dripped down, instantly evaporating rivers and mountains within a thousand miles.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

"Realm of Transcendence, this is the Realm of Transcendence!"

Chu Ming quietly felt the changes within his body, the Sea of Spiritual Power expanding rapidly, growing a hundred-fold larger. The spiritual power within, whether in quality or quantity, had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Now, with a casual sword strike, he could slay a sixth-layer Realm of Transcendence martial artist.

Of course, by "sixth-layer Realm of Transcendence martial artist" here it refers to those who don't know middle-tier secret martial arts. A strong sixth-layer Realm of Transcendence martial artist who does know middle-tier secret martial arts is very different.

A strong sixth-layer Realm of Transcendence martial artist, once deploying middle-tier secret martial arts, their destructive power can match that of an eighth-layer Realm of Transcendence martial artist in the short term, almost instantly severely injuring a seventh-layer Realm of Transcendence martial artist.

Boom!

The thunder tribulation in the sky gradually dispersed, thunder fire drifting down. Chu Ming's expression remained calm, he retrieved the Blood Dome Sword into his storage ring. He then released the Flying Shuttle, leaped onto it, and swiftly flew towards the exit of the Ancient Battlefield.

Undergoing tribulation here would definitely attract much attention. It was best to leave this place quickly.

"The Celestial Martial Continent will gain another peerlessly talented genius."

When Chu Ming broke the tribulation cloud with five swords, Mu Xinghe's face showed astonishment before he spoke.

"This time, the top ten positions on the Transcendence List are going to change."

An old man in a white robe stroked his goatee and slowly said.

"Though this person has passed the Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation, he is merely at the first layer of Realm of Transcendence. How can he compete with Emperor Wuji and others!"

A disciple of the Blade God Palace retorted coldly.

"Ignorant, the power of the Purple Yuan Nine Killings Tribulation is beyond your imagination. I guarantee that this person now possesses combat strength not weaker than Emperor Wuji."

...

"This move was comprehended on the basis of the Burial Sword, let's call it the Burial Ground Sword!"

On the Flying Shuttle, Chu Ming silently mused. The Burial Ground Sword consisted of five strikes, each stronger than the last. The fifth strike's power nearly matched that of middle-tier secret martial arts. This was one of the reasons Chu Ming could break the tribulation cloud with five swords.

Based on Chu Ming's guess, even if the Burial Ground Sword hadn't reached the level of middle-tier secret martial arts, it wasn't far off.
