Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 260, Fire Dragon Fruit

A huge crack spread across the Sect Protection Array, resembling a centipede scurrying away. Chu Ming’s sword strike was too powerful; the Shadowless Sect’s Sect Protection Array was merely a third-level advanced array, and Chu Ming’s strike exceeded the array’s limit.

Crack! Crack!

The Shadowless Sect’s Sect Protection Array instantly shattered, with most of the disciples inside being Demon Dao Martial Artists, frantically fleeing to escape. Although the task only required Mo Xu’s head, every Demon Dao Martial Artist had to be killed; any that could be slain, should be slain.

"Deceitful Sword!"

Countless fine rays transformed into a world of light, directly enveloping Mo Xu and three Blood Clothes Elders. Illusions filled the air, and many rays enveloped the Demon Dao disciples on the ground, who exploded into blood mist without a sound.

"No!!!"

Mo Xu let out a tragic scream, trying to wield his sword to resist, but the rays in the air were too dense, making it impossible to fend off. His body was instantly pierced, leaving him dead beyond doubt!

The three Blood Clothes Elders met the same fate. The fifth technique of the Extreme Point Swordsmanship, Deceitful Sword, according to Chu Ming’s estimation, had already reached the middle tier of Earth Level, and it wasn’t weak among those.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Chu Ming’s left hand formed a claw, emanating a terrifying suction force. Mo Xu and the four elders’ Storage Rings instantly flew to his hand. His sword did not stop, and Sword Light burst forth from his hand, killing the Demon Cultivators below in a gruesome manner.

Boom!

From the sky, a faint sound of thunder came, from afar to near, with extreme speed, resembling thousands of galloping horses. Chu Ming’s face looked indifferent as he slightly raised his head.

"Who dares to cause havoc in the Beiling Alliance’s territory?"

From afar, a furious roar echoed, shaking Chu Ming’s chest and stirring his blood, showing the strength of the incoming person.

Swish!

Almost instantly, a red-robed elder appeared in front of Chu Ming. His face was dark, narrow, and long. His body emitted numerous fire-like energies, resembling flames and thunder. Everything around him turned to mist and dissipated upon his arrival.

The red-robed elder scanned the ruins of the Shadowless Sect, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. However, when his gaze landed on Chu Ming wearing the Celestial Travel Sect’s attire, the cold glint gradually faded.

Being the strongest sect in the Celestial Realm, the Celestial Travel Sect had immense prestige, commanding all righteous sects in the Celestial Realm. Although the red-robed elder was powerful, in front of the Celestial Travel Sect, he was merely a slightly larger ant.

"Why did you destroy the Shadowless Sect?"

The elder’s fiery aura slightly weakened. Although he wouldn’t kill Chu Ming if he failed to give a reasonable explanation, Chu Ming would certainly suffer.

Swish!

Chu Ming didn’t speak, instead tossing the Task Jade Token towards the red-robed elder. He truly feared that the elder might strike immediately, seeing that the elder was obviously a Guiyuan Realm powerhouse.

The red-robed elder caught the Task Jade Token, scanned it briefly, and his face slightly darkened. He never expected that the Shadowless Sect had colluded with Demon Sects. If the Celestial Travel Sect hadn’t discovered this in time, it would have led to a calamity for the entire Beiling Kingdom.

Heaving a deep breath, the red-robed elder returned the Task Jade Token to Chu Ming, a stiff smile appearing on his face as he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, young hero, for eradicating this cancerous Shadowless Sect and restoring order to the Beiling Kingdom."

"No problem!"

Chu Ming responded indifferently, secretly sighing with relief. He had evidently underestimated the deterrent force of the Celestial Travel Sect; otherwise, even if the Shadowless Sect was colluding with the Demonic Organization, the red-robed elder wouldn’t have let it pass so easily.

Unbeknownst to Chu Ming, the Celestial Travel Sect’s influence spread far in the Celestial Realm, especially with the appearance of the Sword Demon from Ancient Sword Peak, who had slain countless powerful figures. The red-robed elder had once encountered the Ancient Sword Peak from afar, and even just a distant glance caused his heart to tremble, completely extinguishing any thought of resistance.

"Since the Shadowless Sect is already destroyed, I will take my leave."

The red-robed elder glanced at the corpses on the ground, sensibly stating.

"Mhm!"

Chu Ming slightly nodded. The elder arrived swiftly and departed equally fast. In a flash, he disappeared from Chu Ming’s sight.

By now, almost all the Demon Cultivators were dead; the ground was densely packed with corpses. Chu Ming felt no guilt; these Demon Dao Martial Artists were ruthless, stopping at nothing to enhance their cultivation, each one soaked in blood.

"Take me to the Shadowless Sect’s treasury!"

Chu Ming coldly commanded, grabbing a fleeing Demon Cultivator.

"Y-yes... yes..."

The disciple’s face was full of terror. Chu Ming’s strength had left him deeply shaken. He believed that for Chu Ming to kill him would be as simple as crushing an ant.

The Demon Cultivator led the way, with Chu Ming following closely, heading to a concealed spot of the Shadowless Sect. The mountain peak where the Shadowless Sect resided was small, but the surrounding environment was rather good, boasting scenic beauty.

"It’s there."

After about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the two arrived outside a stone door, the Demon Cultivator said, trembling.

Thud!

Chu Ming’s finger lightly moved, and a sharp Sword Light burst forth, piercing the disciple’s brow, ending his life.

The stone door was one meter wide and two meters high, covered in dust. On its surface, two third-level arrays were set up, but they were merely intermediate arrays. With two gentle slashes, Chu Ming completely destroyed the array, revealing the true face of the stone door.

Pressing his hands against the stone door, he gathered all his strength in his arms, his muscles slightly bulging. Under his push, the stone door slowly moved.

Squeak! Boom!

As the stone door fully opened, a stone chamber appeared before Chu Ming. The stone chamber wasn’t large, only the size of two rooms, with a Luminous Pearl embedded within, illuminating the entire chamber.

Chu Ming walked in slowly, first noticing several wooden boxes. Using his sword, he opened all the boxes, and gasped in surprise. The boxes were filled with dense Spirit Stones; Chu Ming scanned them briefly.

Approximately five million Lower Grade Spirit Stones and thirty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones were stored in the wooden boxes. These were the Shadowless Sect’s reserves, and Chu Ming immediately stored all the Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring. His gaze continued, discovering hundreds of Spiritual Medicine plants. Although their grade wasn’t high, Chu Ming’s eyes lit up when he spotted a red fruit among them.

The red fruit was the size of a fist, emitting a warm glow, and radiating a mild aura. As Chu Ming picked it up, the surrounding Spiritual Power swarmed towards the fiery fruit.

Sixth Level Spirit Fruit, Fire Dragon Fruit!
