After all, once the Martial Arts Will Seed is condensed, it means he is not far from the Bronze Level of Martial Arts Will.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming's figure flickered slightly, and he flew out of the cave. When he first arrived, his attention had been entirely on the dense Secrets of Slaughter within the Blood Valley. It was at this moment that he realized the gravity in the Blood Valley was extremely terrifying, at least thirty to forty times greater than other places.

"This Blood Valley is not simple!"

Chu Ming thought to himself. He wanted to explore the valley, but currently, with his strength, he did not have the confidence.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming's figure shuttled through the space, and the space around him seemed to flow like water, passing gently by his sides.

After half an incense stick of time, he was already several hundred miles away from the Blood Valley. In that instant, the restraining power of the surrounding space suddenly intensified, and the tightly weaved space quickly condensed.

"The Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm has shrunk again!"

Chu Ming thought to himself. Immediately, he looked down at the wooden token on his waist and discovered that during his seclusion, his ranking had dropped to eighth, while Immortal Changqing had climbed back up to sixth place.

"Huh? The first has become Soroch?"

Chu Ming's eyes suddenly narrowed, and then his brows furrowed. He noticed that the first place in the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm had switched from Ling Yun to Soroch, with an enormous score of five hundred and twenty thousand, more than double the second-place Snow Demon Immortal. Ling Yun had been pushed to fourth place, with a score of only two hundred and seventy thousand.

"Phew!"

Chu Ming exhaled lightly. Although he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, from some slight guesswork, he could pretty much piece together what had happened. Soroch must have killed Ling Yun.

"I didn't expect the great enemy this time to be Soroch!"

Chu Ming silently said in his heart. While flying in the air, he released his Soul Power, swiftly scanning his surroundings.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Not far away, a series of booms reached Chu Ming's ears, causing his mind to shake violently. His gaze penetrated through layers of space, and he saw two groups engaging in a chaotic battle about a kilometer away. The shouts and sounds of Martial Techniques clashing were continuous, and the terrifying waves could be seen from a great distance.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming's body trembled slightly and he passed through layers of space, arriving near the two groups. With his Soul Power strength, as long as he intentionally hid it, it was impossible for these two groups to discover him.

On the left side was a rough young man with the build of a tiger and the back of a bear, leading a group of about seventy to eighty people, all dressed in Blood Clothes, their bodies exuding faint Blood Qi. Their cultivations varied widely, with the strongest reaching the Fourth Heaven of the Realm of Transcendence and the weakest at the First Heaven of the Realm of Transcendence, but gathered together, they formed a considerable force.

On the right side was a youth in a blue robe as the leader. The youth's face was pale, and lightning wrapped around his whole body, making him appear like a Thunder God incarnate, embodying both destruction and rage. Behind this blue-robed youth also stood seventy to eighty young heroes, both men and women. Among them, Chu Ming recognized a few familiar faces.

Ye Mei and An Ruosu!

The group led by the blue-robed youth was the major group from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion that had entered the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm this time.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted into his nose. As it permeated his senses, his mind became suddenly clear, and the Spiritual Power within his body seemed to be surging out. Clearly, there were Heaven and Earth Spirits here!

Chu Ming's gaze swept around lightly and then fixed on a nearby Ice and Snow Pond. The pond was about ten meters in diameter, and in the center of the pond grew a strange plant about seven or eight meters tall, entwined with ice shards, with a faint chill spreading all around.

On the plant were seven blue fruits, each about the size of a fist, with light white markings on the surface. The fragrance just now came from these fruits.

"Ice Blue Divine Fruit?"

A trace of joy flashed in Chu Ming's eyes. Finally, he had encountered a heavenly material that he could use.

Ice Blue Divine Fruits are Eighth-Level Spirit Fruits that grow in freezing lands, filled with abundant spiritual power. Their greatest effect is to replenish a Martial Artist's Sea of Spiritual Power. The spiritual power contained within one Ice Blue Divine Fruit is enough to save a Realm of Transcendence expert half a year of cultivation time.

Boom!

Just as Chu Ming paused, the young heroes from the Martial Saint Pavilion and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion fell into a chaotic battle again. The strongest from the Martial Saint Pavilion was undoubtedly that rough young man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. He was a Blade Master wielding a Blood-Red Long Saber with powerful swings, easily tearing through space.

His opponent was the blue-robed youth from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. The blue-robed youth was skilled in Body Refining; he was surrounded by lightning that coiled around his body. With every strike he unleashed, the power of thunder gathered all the more in the sky, forming a menacing Thunder Cloud above.

"Zhong Kui, we found the Ice Blue Divine Fruit first. I can let you have three, and we'll take the remaining four!"

The blue-robed youth's expression was solemn as he addressed the rough young man named Zhong Kui.

"Hahaha, Xu Que, that's the funniest joke I've heard. The things in the Celestial Extreme Illusion Realm belong to no one. Do you think finding them first makes them yours? Who wouldn't want heavenly materials and treasures?"

Zhong Kui sneered coldly before shouting, swinging his Blood-Red Long Saber through the sky, leaving a deep slash directed at Xu Que.

"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

Xu Que snorted coldly, his expression unpleased. He was the leading figure of the younger generation in the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, ranking twenty-third on the Transcendence List, known by the nickname "Thunderbolt Hand."

And Zhong Kui from the Martial Saint Pavilion was equally strong, ranked twenty-second on the Transcendence List, known by the nickname "Little Blood Saber."

The two never got along and now collided head-on over the Ice Blue Divine Fruit.

Boom!

When the Thunder Cloud in the sky reached a critical mass, Xu Que blasted out a palm strike filled with terrifying thunder, ripping through space and engulfing Zhong Kui in an instant.

"Slash!"

A sharp shout echoed in the air, followed by a Blood Red Streak tearing out from the gray space, instantly shredding the Thunder Cloud. The terrifying Sword Aura rampaged through the air, claiming the lives of several young heroes from both the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Martial Saint Pavilion who failed to evade in time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fight between the two was like a collision of comets, lightning flashing with blood-red glows, space cracking inch by inch. In the blink of an eye, three hundred strikes had been exchanged.

"I will take the Ice Blue Divine Fruit!"

A clear voice resonated from the space. Subsequently, the space trembled, and a white-robed figure stepped out, his gaze icy as he stared at the two groups from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Martial Saint Pavilion.

This white-robed figure was precisely Chu Ming!

With his strength, if he wanted the Ice Blue Divine Fruit, he could directly seize it. There was no need to play the role of the fisherman who catches both fish.
