Boom!

Before these Golden-haired Rats could get close, Chu Ming had already struck with his fist, and the terrifying Power of Fire on his fist burned fiercely like a small sun.

Poof!

The three Golden-haired Rats at the front had just approached Chu Ming and were instantly turned into ash by the horrific heat wave from his left fist.

Boom!

A Golden-haired Rat collided into Chu Ming, its head bursting with blood, but Chu Ming's body was unscathed.

"Immortal Undying Sword!"

Secrets of Immortality erupted!

Boom!

A strand of pale golden Sword Light surged out from the Blood Dome Sword, instantly dyeing the entire sky pale gold. In that moment, time and space froze.

Poof, poof, poof...

Within a kilometer radius, all the Golden-haired Rats were annihilated, all turning into gray streams of airflow that hovered in the space before dissipating.

Chu Ming's body flashed, his eyes piercing through multiple layers of space, scanning the entire sixth layer of the Holy Monument. Under his gaze, nothing could hide.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

In a basin, a Golden-haired Rat about a kilometer in length was emitting a terrifying aura that swept across the space. On top of this rat's head were four large characters—Golden-haired Rat King!

The Golden-haired Rat King was covered in dense golden fur, like a burning flame. Each strand stood erect like sharp swords. When it squeaked, layers of green ripples spread out, clearly possessing sonic attack capabilities.

Chu Ming noticed the Golden-haired Rat King, and the Golden-haired Rat King noticed Chu Ming as well. Its pale golden eyes glinted faintly, and its body shimmered. When it reappeared, it had already traversed the space, coming within a kilometer of Chu Ming.

Boom!

The Golden-haired Rat King's tail swayed lightly, flashing through the heavens like a hurricane towards Chu Ming. The space fractured inch by inch, and gray air currents surged madly.

Chu Ming's white robe fluttered as his body shifted slightly, flowing through space like water. The Blood Dome Sword in his hand had long turned invisible.

"Unhurt Sword!"

Boom!

A flash of green Sword Light swept across silently, leaving a deep, bone-exposing wound on the Golden-haired Rat King's body.

-546,488

A blood-red number floated above the Golden-haired Rat King's head, and it was instantly knocked back by Chu Ming's sword.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

Before the Golden-haired Rat King could steady itself, strange sounds came from its mouth, and green ripples spread outwards. As the ripples hit the ground, the contained power instantly shattered it into pieces.

When the green ripples approached Chu Ming, his body paused slightly. In that split second, the Golden-haired Rat King transformed into a golden light, charging towards Chu Ming with an overwhelming force that seemed to suppress the cosmos.

"These sonic waves contain a control force!"

Chu Ming thought to himself. In the blink of an eye, the Golden-haired Rat King's impact had already reached him.

Boom!

Chu Ming's body was instantly sent flying by the Golden-haired Rat King, falling from the sky like a meteor, piercing the ground for hundreds of meters, causing the earth to crack in all directions in a humanoid pattern.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Golden-haired Rat King panted heavily, its breath turning into surging gray air currents that shot through the space, tearing it apart. Its light golden eyes stared intently at the center of the cracked ground, a hint of confusion flashing in them.

Swish, swish, swish!

An extremely fast Sword Light shot out from the center of the cracks, like a celestial sword, directly targeting the Golden-haired Rat King's left eye.

Clang!

At the critical moment, the Golden-haired Rat King's left eye closed. The Sword Light collided with its skin, sparking a burst of fire.

Poof!

-384,849!

The huge body of the Golden-haired Rat King was instantly blasted underground by Chu Ming, causing the entire space to collapse viciously.

Crunch!

The Golden-haired Rat King had just stood up when its body turned into a phantom, splitting into several clones, surrounding Chu Ming.

Though the Golden-haired Rat King's body was huge, its speed was no less, reaching three to four times the speed of sound. Ordinary Eighth Layer martial artists in the Realm of Transcendence could not withstand a single strike from it.

Clang, clang, clang...

Chu Ming's sword appeared like a celestial horse traversing the skies, forming a dense net of sword auras in front of him, deflecting the Golden-haired Rat King's strikes. Golden light exploded, and sparks flew.

"It's coming!"

Chu Ming's heart sensed it, his eyes fixed on the Golden-haired Rat King.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

The Golden-haired Rat King paused slightly, and torrents of green ripples surged towards Chu Ming. The space froze, and the temperature dropped a few degrees.

Crack!

Chu Ming's body shifted, turning into a fierce wind, traversing a kilometer in an instant before the green ripples could touch him.

Boom!

A small mountain range was directly flattened by the Golden-haired Rat King's sonic wave, with no debris flying around; it was directly pulverized into dust.

"Burial Sword!"

Chu Ming stepped out of the space, his expression calm, but his eyes strikingly bright, as if numerous Sword Lights were traversing them. Holding the Blood Dome Sword in both hands, his muscles slightly bulged, and his black hair flew.

Poof, poof, poof!

Five dazzling Sword Lights in quick succession rushed to the sky, charging towards the Golden-haired Rat King a kilometer away. Each Sword Light stronger than the previous, the fifth turned into a brilliant beam, smashing mountains and withering the earth.

Poof!

A sword mark slashed through the space, creating a wound on the Golden-haired Rat King's body, reducing its health bar by about one-tenth.

However, without giving the Golden-haired Rat King a chance to react, the remaining four Sword Lights of the Burial Sword struck its body one after another, causing blood to splatter, and the Golden-haired Rat King's body retreated in succession. By the time the fourth Sword Light fell, the Golden-haired Rat King's health bar was down to a quarter. The fifth Sword Light followed closely.

Poof!

When the fifth Sword Light fell, the Golden-haired Rat King's health bar dropped to zero, and its massive body fell towards the ground.

Rumble!

With a light leap, Chu Ming approached the Golden-haired Rat King's corpse. But as he got closer, the corpse had already turned into a stream of air and dissipated, leaving behind a pure white Armor and a box of Spirit Stones in mid-air.

Swish!

With a light wave of Chu Ming's arm, the pure white Armor fell instantly into his hands. A dormant Sword Aura emanated from within, surprising Chu Ming.

"Earth Level Top Tier Defense Armor—Primordial Armor!"

Chu Ming lightly stroked the Primordial Armor, a hint of delight in his heart. The quality of this Primordial Armor evidently surpassed regular Earth Level Defense Armor. Only on the ninth layer of the Holy Monument would one find half-step Celestial Tier Weapon Armor, but over the past decade, very few had managed to pass the ninth layer. As for Celestial Tier Weapon Armor, most were held by emperors.

Donning the Primordial Armor, Chu Ming then turned his gaze to the box of Spirit Stones. Upon opening the box, a majestic burst of Spiritual Power practically hit him in the face.

"Top Grade Spirit Stones!"

If the Primordial Armor only brought Chu Ming slight joy, this box of Top Grade Spirit Stones made him feel that the trip was entirely worth it.
