Northern Arctic Black Emperor Zhao Body

Chapter 40: Northern Arctic Black Emperor Zhao Body

Chen Ming knew that relying solely on his Five-Colored Radiance to suppress the situation would only hold out for a short while; it could not last long.

He crushed the Mountain God Yellow Scroll in his hand!

The Mountain God Yellow Scroll transformed into a Black Essence Jade Talisman, which belonged to the water path.

No wonder the cultivators in Vast Mountain mostly practice water, wind, and yin-cold energies. It turns out the root of the spiritual vein is of the Water Pattern.

Chen Ming tossed the Black Essence Jade Talisman toward the north of Vast Mountain, where it landed within the black light in the north.

That black light was formed by the water path Chen Ming had cultivated. Upon receiving the Black Essence Jade Talisman—which had been transformed from the Mountain God Yellow Scroll—it immediately underwent a change.

Chen Ming rotated his Magic Art, and four streams of light—cyan, red, yellow, and white—flowed toward the north, merging into the black light there.

The black light shook the entire northern void.

Boundless water vapor descended from the void.

Within the water vapor, the figure of an Emperor manifested. He held the Black Essence Jade Talisman, dressed in ritual robes, riding upon a Mysterious Cloud, with a Jade Palace appearing behind him. Radiant Splendor shimmered, and Heavenly Flowers scattered in the scene.

"This is the Northern Arctic Black Emperor Zhao Body!"

Chen Ming recited an incantation, and the Northern Arctic Black Emperor Zhao Body descended, merging into one with Chen Ming's own body.

"This is the Spirit Condensation Realm!"

At this moment, Chen Ming had transformed into the body of the Northern Arctic Black Emperor. Every wave of his hand and every step he took carried immense power!

With a single thought, boundless water vapor gathered around Chen Ming, and within that vapor, muffled rumbles of thunder echoed faintly.

Seeing this, White Bone Superior was terrified: "What kind of divine ability is this? To have such power just after reaching the Spirit Condensation Realm!"

White Bone Superior was quite knowledgeable and had dealt with many cultivators in the Spirit Condensation Realm.

However, he had never seen a divine ability that carried such an aura of death, especially from someone who had only just reached the Spirit Condensation Realm!

If I let pride stop me from leaving, I'm afraid I'll die here!

After all, he is now in the Spirit Condensation Realm, not some small cultivator in the Contemplation Realm. It's no shame to retreat now!

Having made up his mind, White Bone Superior hurriedly retracted his Bone Fire, transformed into a Bone Dragon, and fled, abandoning even his White Bone Demon Soldiers.

"Hmm?"

"You want to leave!"

The Black Essence Jade Talisman in Chen Ming's hand was transformed from the Mountain God Yellow Scroll; it was aided by external power. His current strength in the Spirit Condensation Realm was not something he had cultivated himself.

Once the power of the Black Essence Jade Talisman dissipated, this Emperor Body would also fade away.

Chen Ming could not let White Bone Superior escape.

If White Bone Superior got away and Chen Ming fell back to the Contemplation Realm, the moment the former discovered the truth and returned, where would he find another Yellow Register to turn into a jade talisman!

With a wave of his hand, the muffled thunder within the water vapor flew out in its entirety.

Along with White Bone Superior and the Bone Dragon beneath his feet, everything was blasted into smithereens.

"Is he dead just like that?"

Chen Ming looked at the bones on the ground that had lost their spiritual luster, finding it hard to believe that a Spirit Condensation Realm cultivator had died so easily.

He swept his Spiritual Sense across the area and, sure enough, discovered a skeleton fleeing underground.

"Found you!"

Chen Ming stirred his mana, and the water vapor landed on the ground, instantly turning into ice. Three feet of frost froze the earth, pinning the skeleton underground.

The skeleton emitted a sinister demonic light, shattered the ice, and burst out from the ground!

"If you had revealed your Spirit Condensation Realm strength earlier, why would I have ever entered this mountain!"

"You demonic creature, it's all your fault!"

White Bone Superior's skull opened and closed as he spoke.

"I am a demonic creature? Aren't you a skeleton yourself!"

Chen Ming looked White Bone Superior up and down. A Blood Bead appeared in his hand, and a thought took root in his mind.

He was eyeing the Spirit Condensation Realm bones of White Bone Superior, considering them for treasure refinement.

White Bone Superior felt uneasy under Chen Ming's gaze and sensed the malice radiating from him. He softened his tone, saying, "The bead in your hand is also a Demon Refining Method; we are both of the Demonic Path. Why not let me go?"

How could Chen Ming spare him? With a wave of his hand, hundreds of water thunderbolts roared toward him.

White Bone Superior unleashed his Supernatural Secret Arts, but he still could not withstand the hundreds of water thunderbolts. His skeletal frame scattered across the ground.

With a single strike, White Bone Superior was heavily injured.

He silently chanted a spell, and a fluorescent light flashed over his body, extracting the essence from all his bones. He retreated into his skull and fled at high speed.

"Once I return to the White Bone Dao and perform my secret technique, I will definitely curse you to death!"

White Bone Superior cursed in his heart while he fled.

Chen Ming stirred his mana, manifesting a Mysterious Water Giant Hand. The palm of the giant hand was covered in electric arcs as it reached out to grab White Bone Superior.

Even though White Bone Superior's escape speed was extremely fast, he could not evade the giant hand manifested by Chen Ming, which snatched him up in one go.

"You fiend! Do you dare let me go? Once I return to the White Bone Dao, we shall fight again!"

White Bone Superior was so muddled for a moment that he actually uttered such ridiculous words.

Chen Ming ignored him. Within the giant hand, lightning flashed, annihilating White Bone Superior's Divine Soul.

The giant hand dissipated, leaving behind only a piece of jade-like bone from the Spirit Condensation Realm.

"Truly a fine material!"

"With this piece of bone, once refined into a treasure, even after the Emperor's Omen Body dissipates, I will still be able to contend with Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators!"

Chen Ming put the bone away. The Black Essence Jade Talisman in the hand of the Black Emperor Zhao Body had already become illusory and was on the verge of vanishing.

Chen Ming did not dally. He chanted a spell, and the Emperor's Omen Body surged in size, manifesting above Vast Mountain.

The Emperor's Omen Body stepped upon Mysterious Clouds, with strange phenomena manifesting behind it. With a wave of its hand, thousands of Mysterious Water Thunders surged toward the White Bone Dao not far outside Vast Mountain.

The Mysterious Water Thunders crashed down upon the White Bone Dao. The entire sect was plowed over as if by a giant blade; all the white bones were ground into powder, becoming nutrients for the earth.

A torrential rain began to fall from the sky. The White Bone Dao no longer looked like a place where nothing could grow; it gradually regained its vitality, showing hints of green.

Having resolved the threat of the White Bone Dao, the Black Essence Jade Talisman in the hand of the Emperor's Omen Body became flickering and illusory; the manifestation was about to dissipate.

"The spiritual energy in the mountain still needs to be regulated!"

Chen Ming recited the incantation, and the Black Essence Jade Talisman paused before transforming back into the Mountain God Yellow Scroll.

He tossed it into the mountain, and the Mountain God Yellow Scroll scattered into three hundred and sixty-five streams of aura, merging into the spiritual energy veins.

Taking advantage of the time before the Emperor's Omen Body dissipated, Chen Ming issued a decree: "Ten thousand waters return to their source, flowing in all directions!"

A massive amount of water vapor and spirituality gathered. As it merged into the three hundred and sixty-five points of spiritual energy, it unexpectedly restored the mountain to the state it was in before the three Fairy Maidens of the Myriad Laws Sect had drained it, stabilizing the flow.

However, the Mountain God Yellow Scroll was now completely gone.

If there were no other variables, after a few hundred years of the mountain's spiritual energy circulating and nourishing the land, the Mountain God Yellow Scroll might be able to condense once more from the spring at the mountain's peak.

With this result, Chen Ming had fulfilled his promise to regulate the mountain's spiritual energy.

After finishing all this, the Northern Arctic Black Emperor Zhao Body, lacking the support of the Black Essence Jade Talisman, slowly dissolved into the void.

Chen Ming immediately fell from the Spirit Condensation Realm back to his original strength.

The sense of disparity left Chen Ming feeling quite displeased.

I must improve my strength quickly!

Chen Ming looked at the blood bead and the jade-like bone in his hand, smiling faintly: "If I fuse this blood bead and the bone together to refine a White Bone Demon Pot, it will be a Spirit Condensation Treasure no less powerful than the Emperor's Omen Body!"
