The Artifact Spirit tossed an ancient bronze token, palm-sized, in front of Chu Ming, then spoke.

"However, the teleportation of this token can only be used once. Therefore, unless you intend to leave the Celestial Martial Continent, don't enter the Holy Tomb again."

"I understand!"

Chu Ming nodded heavily, placing the bronze token into the Storage Ring.

Swoosh!

The Artifact Spirit flicked its fingers lightly, and a blue web-shaped light instantly enveloped Chu Ming. In the blue light, Chu Ming's figure vanished.

...

"Where is this place?"

Before his eyes, Chu Ming found himself above an expansive sea, surrounded by the vast, boundless ocean. The sounds of the waves roared, and dark shadows occasionally glided through the depths beneath the surface.

Soul Power spread rapidly like a tide towards the surroundings. After comprehending the Star Sea Map for two years, Chu Ming's Soul Power was now comparable to that of a King. In just an instant, dozens of figures appeared within his Soul Power's range.

"This should be the North Sea!"

Chu Ming speculated inwardly, his body flickered, instantly traversing through space and moving towards the figures. He realized that the situation in the North Sea seemed rather complicated at the moment.

...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dozens of terrifying shockwaves spread crazily across the sky and earth. The entire void was continuously torn apart by powerful forces and then healed. Around the dozens of figures were over a dozen massive Demons. Their eyes shone like lightning, and the scales on their bodies were ancient and still, emitting a cold glint.

"Your Beiling Alliance has already been annihilated by our Restricted Area. Why do you persist in resisting?"

A Demon King, covered in blood-red flames, sneered at the leaders of the dozen people.

However, his attacks did not slow down at all, joining forces with over a dozen other Demon Kings, forcing several Life and Death Realm Kings and dozens of Half-Step Life and Death Realm Kings to retreat continuously. If not for the few Life and Death Realm Kings defending desperately, those Half-Step Life and Death Realm Kings would have long since fallen.

"Hmph, as long as our Alliance Leader is still alive, the Beiling Alliance will continue to exist!"

Blood Shadow King coldly declared, his Blood Saber transforming into countless shadows, blasting several Demon Kings away. The reason the people of the Beiling Alliance could hold out until now was due to Blood Shadow King's perseverance. Being a Middle Tier King, killing him required either a Middle Tier Overlord King or the combined effort of several Middle Tier Kings, otherwise, it was futile.

"Heh heh heh, for the Nine Pasture Cloud Map, our Restricted Area dispatched three top-notch Demon Kings. Even if Liu Wuxiang had three heads and six arms, he could not hope to survive this!"

Moluo Demon King's eyes were icy as he spoke. His mouth slightly opened, and a black Blood Demon Thunder erupted from it. In nearly an instant, it struck a Half-Step Life and Death Realm King. The King didn't even have time to scream as his body was completely vaporized.

"Hmph, the strength of our Alliance Leader is not something you Demons can comprehend!"

Blood Shadow King stated coldly, unleashing a blood-red river with his Blood-Red Long Saber, sending Moluo Demon King flying with a series of explosions.

Puff!

At this moment, the faint sound of a sword slicing through the air was heard. A flailing Demon King's eyes widened in surprise as he was abruptly slain.

"Who's there?"

Moluo Demon King became wary, realizing that anyone who could kill a low-level Demon King silently must be at least a Middle Tier King, and judging by the situation, they were likely hostile.

"It's me!"

A clear voice echoed from the void, and a terrifying Sword Aura tore the space apart. A tall figure in a red robe, cutting through the void, emerged with a calm expression, surveying everything around him.

"You are..."

Seeing the familiar face of Chu Ming, Blood Shadow King didn't immediately recognize him. After all, when Chu Ming participated in the Battle for Kingship, Blood Shadow King only observed him from a distance, and not long ago, news spread throughout the Celestial Martial Continent that Chu Ming had died in the ruins. He had never imagined it could be Chu Ming.

"Blood Sword King?!"

Moluo Demon King's voice turned icy, his pupils narrowing as if seeing a ghost, and he coldly said, "I didn't expect that everyone thought you had perished in the ruins, but you are still alive!"

"What?! Blood Sword King?!"

Shock filled Blood Shadow King's face, his eyes brimming with astonishment. While he was surprised that Chu Ming was alive, what shocked him more was Chu Ming's strength—indescribable other than using the phrase "deep and immeasurable."

Chu Ming, Blood Sword King, these names had always hovered like sharp blades over the younger generation of the Celestial Martial Continent. The Young Alliance Leader of the Beiling Alliance, Liu Shengchuan, had always aimed to surpass Chu Ming.

Not long ago, the younger generation of the Celestial Martial Continent had generally reached the Half-Step Life and Death Realm, which was quite commendable. But now, compared to Chu Ming, the difference was huge.

"Since you did not fall in the ruins, then you shall stay here today!"

Muro Demon King's eyes flashed with killing intent, his strong fingers curling as he directly launched an attack at Chu Ming. The air currents in the sky surged, and five large holes were torn in the fragile space.

Boom!

Facing Moluo Demon King's terrifying strike, Chu Ming's expression remained extraordinarily calm. When the black claw marks neared within a hundred meters of him, his right hand shone with light, and a silver longsword appeared in his hand. Its majestic sword power turned into a cold, tangible force that sliced through the air, causing it to crack.

Boom!

The Azure Sky Sword swung down, and a terrifying Sword Aura burst forth from the blade. The sky turned silver-white, and for miles around, the air was filled with the dreadful Sword Aura.

Crack!

Splatter!

The Sword Aura clashed with the black claw, instantly blocking the black claw with numerous sparks flying. In the blink of an eye, the Sword Aura tore through the black claw's defense, and droplets of black blood dripped from the claw, as Moluo Demon King was blasted away miles.

"How is he this strong?!"

Moluo Demon King's heart was filled with turmoil. He had dared to attack Chu Ming because he saw that Chu Ming was still in the Realm of Transcendence, not having stepped into the Life and Death Realm. But he never imagined that Chu Ming at the peak of the Realm of Transcendence would possess the strength of a Middle Tier King, even stronger than him.

"Blood Shadow King, I'll handle Moluo Demon King, you go and kill the other Demon Kings!"

Chu Ming calmly said to Blood Shadow King.

"Alright!"

Although Blood Shadow King was shocked, the stronger Chu Ming was, the better it was for him. So, he readily agreed to Chu Ming's proposal.
