Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 158, Power of Fire Essence

Bang bang bang.....

Blades and sword lights successively extinguished, and the ground was split with a huge trench, with debris flying everywhere.

"Gale Blade Technique!"

Huang Lei retreated swiftly, and during his retreat, the broadsword in his hand swung wildly, sending countless sword aura flying out of it, slicing through the air explosively. These auras formed a cage, aiming to imprison Chu Ming.

Chu Ming’s face turned solemn as the Gale Blade Technique was a high-tier profound level martial technique. Judging from Huang Lei’s demeanor, it was evident that he had cultivated it to great success, making it an unstoppable force.

Within Chu Ming’s body, the Slaughter Sword Intent burst forth completely, swirling around him continuously. Countless tiny blood swords densely packed the sky, resembling a swarm of locusts.

In an instant, Chu Ming’s figure flashed, and the blood swords in the sky transformed into numerous blood-red phantom shadows, colliding with the cage formed by the sword auras.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.....

Although these tiny blood swords from the Slaughter Sword Intent were individually weak, their overwhelming quantity made Huang Lei’s scalp tingle, sending chills from his feet to his head.

The blood swords shattered one by one but were endless. Gradually, the sword aura began to break apart and disintegrate, turning into star points and disappearing mid-air. The cage gap widened, and Chu Ming’s figure flashed, creating multiple phantoms before leaping out of the opening.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky, you can keep your wretched life today!"

Huang Lei realized he couldn’t capture Chu Ming today, so he prepared to leave, but not before spitting out a vicious threat.

Cold glints flickered in Chu Ming’s eyes as he swung the Blue Red Sword. The space stills; countless splendid streams of light shoot around him. A flowing blade shot from his sword, causing the surrounding airwaves to surge and sweeping away the spiritual power.

"Phantom Stream Blade!"

The flowing blade exploded with immense power, charged directly at Huang Lei.

"You....."

Huang Lei never expected Chu Ming to continue his attack. In desperation, a blinding sword aura horizontally slashed from his hand.

Woosh!

The sword aura was struck by the flowing blade and shattered instantly, sending the Sword Force flying.

Boom!

Huang Lei’s body tilted, and a blood-red arm flew off his side, with blood spraying in mid-air. From the severed arm, white flesh and bone faintly visible.

"You..."

Huang Lei clutched his shoulder bone, with fine blood slowly seeping out. He wanted to speak, but seeing a tiny gleam brewing in Chu Ming’s sword edge, he was frightened out of his wits, vanishing into a phantom.

After Huang Lei disappeared, Chu Ming aimed his gaze at Feng Shang’s location, only to find he had disappeared without notice.

The faint glow on the Blue Red Sword gradually diminished, dissolving into spiritual power and dissipating into the air.

Chu Ming did not chase; now he had a more urgent task — to find a quiet place and refine all the Blood Spirit Flower in the Storage Ring.

Whoosh!

His figure vanished from the spot.

...

In a small courtyard of Blue Jade City.

Chu Ming first took out a seventy-year-old Blood Spirit Flower from the Storage Ring. The seventy-year-old Blood Spirit Flower had only two petals, and its color was not as vibrant as the hundred-year-old one, looking rather dull.

He ripped off a petal and placed it in his mouth; it melted instantly. A surge of frantic blood qi emitted from Chu Ming’s body, turning his body slowly red. Tiny black impurities were expelled from his body.

Simultaneously, as the blood circulated, the blood essence contained in the Blood Spirit Flower spread throughout his body, rapidly enhancing his strength.

Thump thump thump.....

His heart thudded like a drum, its powerful sound echoing in his ears, while the blood flowed swiftly.

Four hundred and ten Tiger Power.

Four hundred and twenty Tiger Power.

Four hundred and thirty Tiger Power.

.....

Once Chu Ming completely absorbed the seventy-year-old Blood Spirit Flower, his overall strength increased to four hundred and fifty Tiger Power. The Blood Spirit Flower boosted his strength by fifty Tiger Power, which would normally take at least a month of cultivation.

"Continue!"

Chu Ming moved his body, instantly feeling a surge of overwhelming power. Theoretically, even a difference of one Tiger Power would create a significant gap between two individuals.

After absorbing the second seventy-year-old Blood Spirit Flower, Chu Ming frowned because its effect diminished compared to the first one, only bolstering his power by forty Tiger Power.

Ignoring this, Chu Ming continued absorbing the blood qi from the Blood Spirit Flowers. As he absorbed more, his strength gradually increased, while the efficacy of the Blood Spirit Flowers continuously diminished. Eventually, absorbing a seventy-year-old Blood Spirit Flower only added ten Tiger Power. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

By the time only two hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Flowers remained in Chu Ming’s Storage Ring, his strength had soared to six hundred and fifty Tiger Power. Meanwhile, he felt the Fire Element Body Forging Chapter had reached the peak of the Fourth Layer, just a step away from the Fifth Layer.

Taking out a hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Flower from the Storage Ring, a surge of red blood qi floated in the air, making every cell in Chu Ming’s body seem to cheer.

He refined a petal, an unending stream of blood qi poured into Chu Ming’s body, which absorbed it like a ravenous wolf, continuously growing stronger. The blood essence from a hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Flower was as potent as ten seventy-year-old ones.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Chu Ming’s body turned fiery red, surrounded by a thin layer of Fire Essence. Once the Fire Element Body Forging Chapter reached the Fifth Layer, his body began nurturing the Power of Fire which would yield incredible results during combat.

Crack crack crack!

Bone-breaking sounds rang abruptly, with ridges under Chu Ming’s skin writhing back and forth, resembling strange worms crawling through his body, utterly terrifying.

Chu Ming felt as if his body was tearing apart, while simultaneous pain and itch spread throughout his skeleton, as if something was about to grow there.

Bang!

A burst of fiery energy emerged from Chu Ming’s body, raising the surrounding air temperature significantly, and a feeling of ease followed, as if his body had undergone transcendence, achieving the Fifth Layer of the Fire Element Body Forging Chapter.

Having reached the Fifth Layer, Chu Ming’s next task was to cultivate the Power of Fire within his body, which required massive energy.

He refined a petal, and the Power of Fire within him gradually increased from one strand to two, three.....

After refining all the Blood Spirit Flowers stored in the ring, Chu Ming’s strength soared over a thousand Tiger Power, reaching one thousand one hundred Tiger Power. His blood qi surged, maintaining his body at its optimal state at all times.

However, his body only contained fifteen strands of the Power of Fire, continuously circulating, making him feel as if bathed in sunlight, warm and cozy. As for its power, he was yet to know.
