A single Cannibal Crow is merely a Tier Seven Sea Bird, not to mention the Realm of Transcendence; even within the Guiyuan Realm, it is considered quite weak. However, Cannibal Crows are gregarious sea beasts, and once they are on the move, they arrive in swarms of hundreds of thousands, densely packed. With hundreds of thousands of Guiyuan Realm martial artists attacking together, even a formidable Ninth Layer Realm of Transcendence expert could meet a bitter end.

If Chu Ming's guess is correct, Blood Prince should have been injured by this flock of Cannibal Crows.

Swish!

As Blood Prince was about to approach the Flying Shuttle, Chu Ming immediately controlled the Flying Shuttle to swerve out of the way, quickly pulling a thousand meters away from Blood Prince.

To save Blood Prince's life and place himself in danger is not something Chu Ming is willing to do.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A dense swarm of Cannibal Crows instantly surrounded Blood Prince. Blood splattered, and the sound of their claws clinking against armor resonated. Blood Prince's whole body erupted with fiery blood, and with a light palm strike, he could kill hundreds of Cannibal Crows, but these Crows were just a drop in the ocean among the entire flock.

"What is the meaning of this, friend?"

Blood Prince's face turned pale; he wanted nothing more than to chop Chu Ming into a thousand pieces. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, staring at the Flying Shuttle. If he could seize it, he might have a slim chance of survival.

"I can't take you away. You're on your own."

Chu Ming said faintly. Seeing the Cannibal Crows starting to spread in his direction, he immediately turned into a streak of light and fled to the distance.

"Damn it!"

Blood Prince's face filled with rage. His entire being erupted like a volcano, turning into a blazing sun that smashed into the surrounding Cannibal Crows.

Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof...

Amidst the bloody carnage, the number of Cannibal Crows relentlessly decreased. In just a few moments, thousands had fallen, but the brief burst had caused the energy and blood within Blood Prince's body to wane at an alarming rate.

Boom!

"Blood and Fire Eight Ancient Palm!"

Blood Prince roared, his remaining blood fire exploding. A colossal palm seal infused with golden blood descended from the sky, smashing toward the surrounding Cannibal Crows. Immediately, the dense swarm of Cannibal Crows fell from the sky like dumplings into boiling water.

Swish!

After the burst, Blood Prince's energy and blood were depleted, breathing in more than he could breathe out. Staring at the retreating figure of Chu Ming, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.

"Even if I die, I won't let you off easily!"

Blood Prince said coldly. Immediately, his blood surged madly, his skin cracking inch by inch, and his hair turned white in an instant.

Boom!

Blood Prince's body transformed into a giant blood sphere, speeding out of the Cannibal Crows' swarm at over twenty times the speed of sound. In almost an instant, he had traversed to Chu Ming's front.

Swish!

"Myriad Swords Return to the Root!"

Chu Ming's expression turned slightly cold. At the moment Blood Prince moved to attack him, his Soul Power had already sensed it. His body stretched abruptly, and it seemed as if he was holding thousands of splendid flying swords in his hand, which instantaneously thundered at the blood sphere that Blood Prince had become.

Slit! Slit!

The continuous sounds of burning fire echoed, and the cold Sword Aura pierced through the blood sphere almost instantly, moving at an extreme speed.

Bam!

The blood sphere exploded fiercely; a ray of fire shot out from the blood sphere, piercing through space and melding into Chu Ming's body before he could react.

Swish!

Chu Ming beckoned with his right hand, seizing Blood Prince's Storage Ring. The Flying Shuttle began to move, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the swarm of Cannibal Crows.

...

Above the sea, Chu Ming did not examine Blood Prince's Storage Ring first but closed his eyes and deployed his Soul Power, meticulously scanning his own body. Blood Prince's final ray of light, like the blood skull mark formed by Bei Yun when he died, should be something used for tracking.

If Chu Ming's guess is correct, the ray of light formed by Blood Prince should point the way for his master, the blood fiend Xuanren.

"There it is!"

Under the all-encompassing scan of Chu Ming's Soul Power, within a few breaths, he discovered a flame mark on the left side of his chest, no larger than a palm.

Swish!

His Soul Power surged like a tide, transforming into an invisible blade, attempting to erase the flame mark. However, this flame mark, being Blood Prince's final strike, even with his exceptional Soul Power, would take two days to remove completely.

"Take it slow!"

Chu Ming thought to himself. He was not far from Yuanjiu City now. Though he was concerned about Cyan Bird King, he believed that with Cyan Bird King's strength, he could escape from Iron Fork Dragon Beard without any problems.

Half an hour later, Chu Ming returned to Yuanjiu City. Thousand Demon Palace had issued a blockade order throughout North Sea, and the news had spread across Yuanjiu City. Occasionally, powerful individuals would flee back to Yuanjiu City for temporary refuge.

"Phew!"

Returning to Yuanjiu City, barely escaping with his life, Chu Ming took a long breath. He did not intend to stay in Yuanjiu City for long. When he and Cyan Bird King and Profound Spirit King left Yuanjiu City, Golden Wheel King saw everything, and he could not afford to let Golden Wheel King have any suspicions.

Facing a hidden threat from a King, he couldn't afford any mistakes.

After staying one night in Yuanjiu City, Chu Ming departed at dawn the next day, heading towards the Central Divine Domain. At his speed, it would take three days to reach the Central Divine Domain from Yuanjiu City.

Currently, there are still over two months before the Battle for the Throne. He must hurry to the center of the continent, Holy City.

Swish!

Just as Chu Ming had left Yuanjiu City, an old man, dressed in black, dried and withered, shadowed him closely.

The old man had a head of silver hair and eyes filled with overwhelming hatred. His energy and blood were unstable, obviously severely injured, yet even so, his Divine Soul was vast and majestic, as if overlooking the entire Yuanjiu City.

"Dare to kill my son; even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will kill you!"

The silver-haired old man muttered, his words dripping with a desire to grind Chu Ming's bones to dust.

This silver-haired old man was none other than Seven Array King—Bei Mo. But today, the once-spirited Seven Array King no longer held his former glory. To dodge the Emperor of Creation's fatal strike, he had exhausted the last trump card given to him by Blood Moon Emperor. Even so, his essence and blood were drained to ninety-nine percent.

Generally speaking, regardless of the age of a Life and Death Realm King, once they break through to the Life and Death Realm, they would retain the appearance of their youth.

However, Bei Mo was severely injured at that time, his essence and blood burned out, and his cultivation realm plummeted drastically, falling directly from the top-tier Life and Death Realm King to the Realm of Transcendence. Currently, his cultivation is in the Third Layer of the Realm of Transcendence. Yet, due to his numerous insights into various truths and his rigorous cultivation in Secret Techniques, he could still rival the mightiest in the Eighth Heaven of the Realm of Transcendence.
