Martial Saint through Reading

Therefore, after retracting his divine techniques, he merely snorted coldly, and the two of them resumed their pursuit.

"Second brother, they...!"

The five from Yiyang Kingdom were somewhat infuriated, having taken the initiative to calm the situation, but in return received such a haughty attitude, how could they tolerate it?

"Forget it." Yiyang Yie waved his hand, "Their identities must be extraordinary; primordial artifacts, primordial techniques, secret techniques, none of which I’ve seen before, for fear they might be..."

"Ancient Immortal Kingdom?"

"Very likely."

"..."

Chu Ming, observing the ceasefire between the two sides, had a flicker of disappointment on his brows, and then resumed his escape.

Escaping from Yiyang Kingdom, heading further east, toward the more powerful Seven-Star Kingdom.

Just as he dashed into Seven-Star Kingdom, three imposing presences comparable to Yiyang Yie’s emerged simultaneously.

Chu Ming intended to repeat his old trick, trying to lure the three into conflict.

But this time, he did not succeed.

Ming Lu and Netherworld Office learned from the Yiyang Kingdom experience, and did not launch an attack on Seven-Star’s formidable warriors but bypassed them and continued the pursuit.

The three major powers of Seven-Star Kingdom chased until the border, leaving when Chu Ming flew east into Lingwu Kingdom.

Upon entering Lingwu Kingdom, Chu Ming’s escape noticeably slowed, even ascending into the cloud layers above the Nine Heavens to escape.

It wasn’t because he lacked primordial qi on his escape; rather, Lingwu Kingdom differed from earlier Jing Yue, Yiyang, and Seven-Star Kingdoms. Within this nation, experts in the Martial Arts Seventh Realm Returning to the Origin Realm were present.

Such experts, coupled with being on their turf, made Chu Ming refrain from being overly ostentatious.

Another crucial point was that his plan’s second step involved this country.

North of Lingwu Kingdom was the Celestial Veil Kingdom.

Having fled to this point, further fleeing is almost unnecessary.

Next, he needed to seize the third Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp.

Chu Ming’s eyes sparkled, and not long after entering Lingwu, he redirected his escape toward the north.

Until escaping to the border between Lingwu and Celestial Veil Kingdom, his speed suddenly dropped to a halt.

Then, with his feet on a primordial artifact, he stood suspended in the air, quietly waiting for the arrival of the second senior brother and third senior sister.

Their speed wasn’t slow either, not waiting for too long before revealing themselves.

"Let’s see where you can escape!" Netherworld Office glared at the person in the flame-patterned robe, "Do you think the mere Black Flame Sect can protect you?"

"Not only you, but the Black Flame Sect will be annihilated too!"

This second senior brother seemed genuinely furious.

By contrast, the third senior sister merely raised her eyebrows, eyes containing a fierce glow, far calmer than the second senior brother.

"Thief!"

Yet the way ’Luo Mu’ brazenly scrutinized her instantly enraged the third senior sister.

The two of them swallowed elixirs in unison, and their primordial techniques and artifacts were unleashed with a roar.

’Luo Mu’ did not dodge or evade, just stood suspended in the air like that.

At the moment of attack, black flames suddenly blossomed around him.

"Mere Dark Flame Heart Fire Sub-fire, you think you can block..." the second senior brother, Netherworld Office, spoke viciously.

But before finishing, he witnessed an extremely incredible scene.

The black sub-fire, seemingly ordinary to both Netherworld Office and Ming Lu, was like an endless black abyss, devoid of terrifying might or dazzling flames, simply devouring all primordial techniques with no apparent fluctuations.

"Not good!"

After their primordial techniques were devoured, they immediately felt an intensely terrifying devouring power, attempting to consume the primordial artifacts they controlled!

The black flames unleashed by Chu Ming were precisely his mutated black flame, cultivated through the Qi Rhythm White Light of the Book and Painting Realm and Black Soul Wood.

The devouring powers of purification and darkness, two extreme forces.

Devour... purify... transform... reciprocate...

The mutated black flame devours primordial techniques and artifacts, also consuming the primordial consciousness controlling them, which then reciprocates itself through the mutated black flame.

Chu Ming’s primordial consciousness was visibly expanding at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.

Thirty miles... thirty-one miles... thirty-two miles...

Not only did his primordial consciousness expand; he even felt the Book and Painting Realm augmenting.

These second senior brother and third senior sister... they were indeed benevolent.

First, they provided elixirs, primordial artifacts, and now they are helping him expand his primordial consciousness and the Book and Painting Realm.

However, the second senior brother and third senior sister cannot remain benevolent forever.

Upon realizing their primordial artifacts being devoured, they used some secret technique to extricate the artifacts from that terrifying devouring.

Freed from the devouring power, only a pale complexion remained on their faces, with fear spreading in their chests, soon enveloping them entirely.

Netherworld Office and Ming Lu stared fearfully at the black flames, the wavering black fire seemed capable of passing through space, directly scorching within their pupils and hearts.
