Sure, here is the translated text:

A blade of Black Gold Qi pierced the void, and that oppressive black aura nearly enveloped the entire firmament in an instant.

Clang!

Without hesitation, he swung the gold knife in his hand, blocking the Black Gold Qi.

The collision of the two treasures sparked an explosion, illuminating the sky.

Ji Wujiang felt a tremor in his hand, followed by a terrifying force transmitting from the gold knife to his arm.

He snorted coldly, shaking off the residual force, intending to swing the second blade. Suddenly, the Black Gold Qi adjusted its direction, blasting towards Luo Mu on the other side.

Luo Mu’s pupils slightly contracted, and countless black flames emerged around him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosion of black flames and Black Gold Qi emitted a fierce, scorching light.

Immediately after.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A figure seemed to shuttle through the void, rapidly approaching Luo Mu.

Boom!

The shadow exploded instantly.

Luo Mu was unable to react, yet the surface of his body automatically appeared covered in black flames.

No one knew what kind of treasure those black flames were, but they somehow blocked the entire explosion for Luo Mu.

After the explosion, the shadow revealed its true form, ’You Wudang’ looked at Luo Mu with slight surprise.

But that seemingly surprised glance, in Luo Mu’s eyes, seemed like something extremely terrifying.

He could not help but feel fear, already suffering from a backlash of a secret technique, damaging his foundation. If not for the protective treasure, he would have already perished here.

An interior kingdom’s Primordial Qi Warrior could drive him to this point?!

Hatred and anger surged simultaneously, but were suppressed fiercely in an instant.

With strength vanishing bit by bit, even if revenge was desired, now was not the time.

At this moment, only one thought lingered in Luo Mu’s mind.

Escape!

"Escape!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The moment the thought surfaced, countless black flame explosions occurred around Luo Mu. The danger was minimal, yet it formed a vast sky of black flames.

Black flames could not only obstruct vision, they seemed to devour the Martial Artist’s Qi Blood perception, and among them the Primordial Consciousness.

This technique, named ’Dark Ash Forbidden Curse,’ could block any investigation, being one of Luo Mu’s means of survival.

Ji Wujiang, enveloped in black flames, took a defensive stance, daring not to act rashly.

On the other side, releasing the interfering black flames, Luo Mu wasted no thought, turned and performed an escape technique.

"Primordial Qi Warriors from barren lands, mastering only a few Primordial Techniques, dare to..."

Just as Luo Mu coldly sneered while fleeing numerous miles with the escape technique.

Swoosh!

A black figure abruptly appeared directly ahead in his escape path.

"You?!" Luo Mu’s face turned pale instantly.

"Impossible!"

Once the Dark Ash Forbidden Curse was cast, even Primordial Techniques of a Sixth Realm Nascent Qi Realm Perfection Qi Warrior could hardly penetrate. How was this person pursuing him?!

"Impossible?" Disguised as ’You Wudang’, Chu Ming spread his palm, a bit of black flame appeared, "Are you referring to this Primordial Technique that blocks magical investigation?"

Black flames floated at his fingertips, casually flickering like a candle flame.

"Quite interesting."

Witnessing this, Luo Mu’s expression changed repeatedly!

A Primordial Qi Warrior from barren lands could actually capture the Dark Ash Forbidden Curse?!

"Who exactly are you?" Luo Mu truly feared.

"Me..." the black flame jumped in Chu Ming’s deep gaze, "I am You Wudang of the Nether Witch Horde from Nine Hordes Kingdom."

"And of course, the one who will take your life."

Buzz!

Instantly, Luo Mu felt a chilling cold throughout, as if an endless icy dread surged from all sides.

Crash!

The sky-full of black flames and protective black flame light, as well as the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp were simultaneously summoned.

He knew any further reservation would leave no time to deploy any technique.

Looking at Chu Ming, his movements seemed unhurried, yet the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp, Tier Six Primordial Artifact Black Gold Sword, Nether Witch Banner had already been summoned.

Simultaneously, thirty Multi-Eyed Star Rings shone like sun and moon in the sky.

These thirty Star Rings made Luo Mu’s hairs stand on end.

Two Tier Six Primordial Qi Warriors clashing, Primordial Artifacts... Primordial Techniques... Treasures... Boom! Boom! Boom!

The firmament seemed to shatter, the earth appeared sunken.

Sun and moon lost their light, stars dimmed.

In a moment, it seemed the world returned to Chaos.

When the explosion cleared, when sun and moon were visible again, when this sky saw snow falling once more.

The black-robed youth’s expression was calm, standing on a Primordial Artifact, descending slowly to the earth.

From a high aerial view, the earth beneath him appeared a massive collapsed basin.

This basin was solely formed by the waves of battle above the Nine Heavens.

In the basin’s center, a person lay miserably within, without any sign of a broken head or missing limbs.

Luo Mu at this moment was just a remnant body like that of an infant.

It was Luo Mu’s flesh destroyed, leaving behind its Nascent Primordial Qi.

Unfortunately, Nascent Primordial Qi of the Nascent Qi Realm lacked consciousness, Luo Mu wasn’t dead, but also was.

Chu Ming curiously observed that flame-like Nascent Primordial Qi, extending Primordial Consciousness, able to sense the Nascent Primordial Qi’s resistance, yet comparatively weak against Chu Ming’s powerful Primordial Consciousness.

The Primordial Consciousness easily penetrated the Nascent Primordial Qi.

Just as he prepared to probe further, the Nascent Primordial Qi seemingly unable to endure his profound Primordial Consciousness, surprisingly showed cracks that then emitted light.

The next moment.

Boom!

The Nascent Primordial Qi simply exploded.

This time, Luo Mu was thoroughly dead.

Chu Ming glanced at the fragments of Primordial Qi returning to the earth momentarily, then picked up several items scattered on the ground.

A flame of black fire that seemed always ready to extinguish, a black shield, and the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp.

Other items probably didn’t survive the terrifying explosion just now which altered the world.

He first extended a Primordial Technique to examine the black shield.

Dark Flame Black Fire Shield, Tier Six Primordial Artifact, also the protective treasure that earlier blocked Chu Ming’s first wave of attack.

"A good thing."

This shield was indeed a genuine protective treasure.

And he happened to lack a decent protective treasure as such.
