Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 764 - 741: The Struggle (1/3)
Chapter 764: Chapter 741: The Struggle (1/3)
The Red Dragon Empress, infuriated, screamed loudly while her hands moved rapidly, unleashing various wonderful techniques frequently.
However, this area was sealed by Huo Tian, and attacks could only reach the level of Sublimation Emperor at most. This restrained her from unleashing her strongest battle power. She could never break through Gongyang Taisun’s defense and could only watch helplessly as the Blood River Heavenly Scripture devoured her own Heavenly Scripture.
Although she had been in deep slumber over the years, a Spiritual Fire had been born around her, due to her Fire Attribute, which made the still immature Heavenly Scripture extremely devoted to her—it did not recognize a master, but it was as good as if it had.
Her long slumber coincided with the growth of the Heavenly Scripture, making the two strangely synchronized. Now that the Heavenly Scripture was being devoured, her heart felt as if it were being sliced by a knife, and she completely lost control!
When a True Dragon gets angry, it’s no small matter!
Under the relentless attacks from the Red Dragon Empress, Gongyang Taisun’s body began to show countless cracks, and pieces of his skin fell off. It was truly as the Red Clothed Empress had said before, his soul was being beaten out of him!
Whoom!
A strange fluctuation swept through, the Fire Series Heavenly Scripture completely disappeared, while the Blood River Heavenly Scripture’s momentum soared as it devoured another scripture, gaining more laws and naturally, its strength greatly increased!
Zhou Heng, wielding the Black Sword, switched to suppress the Earth Series Heavenly Scripture and the Wood Series Heavenly Scripture, allowing the Blood River Heavenly Scripture to assimilate the Gold Series Heavenly Scripture.
Fire conquers gold, and after merging with the Fire Series Heavenly Scripture, the Blood River Heavenly Scripture could easily defeat the Gold Series Heavenly Scripture.
Kong Aokun was slightly stunned, feeling the state of his own Heavenly Scripture naturally, but he quickly made a decision. He didn’t launch an attack on Zhou Heng to release the other two Heavenly Scriptures, allowing the Blood River Heavenly Scripture to devour and merge without any resistance.
He had only one goal, and that was to kill Tong Anyue! No matter which of the five Heavenly Scriptures ultimately triumphed, he would still be able to seize it directly. There was still a chance!
Because of his inaction, the Blood River Heavenly Scripture quickly completed its second fusion!
Having devoured two Heavenly Scriptures, it now, even without Zhou Heng helping it suppress the Wood Series and Earth Series Heavenly Scriptures, could confidently claim victory—three against two, a sure win!
Neither Tong Anyue nor Gongyang Taisun attacked Zhou Heng since the Blood River Heavenly Scripture was already dominant, knowing that even if they stopped Zhou Heng, they couldn’t prevent it from completing the final merger. Why not wait for the five Heavenly Scriptures to merge completely and then seize them directly?
The Blood River Heavenly Scripture was unstoppable; it soon devoured the Wood Series Heavenly Scripture and finally, the Earth Series Heavenly Scripture as well, completing the fusion of the five Heavenly Scriptures.
Whoom!
This Heavenly Scripture released multicolored lights in the void and severed its connection with Zhou Heng. It had merely devoured the other four Heavenly Scriptures; to truly integrate, it still needed time, like a newborn baby.
This was the moment!
Gongyang Taisun and Tong Anyue shook off their opponents and grabbed towards the Blood River Heavenly Scripture.
"Old monster, thinking of escaping?"
"Tong Anyue, today is the day you die!"
The Red Dragon Empress and Kong Aokun quickly followed suit, their real ire aroused by their respective opponents, unlike Gongyang Taisun and Tong Anyue, who only sought to seize the Heavenly Scripture.
Zhou Heng also joined the fray, his Black Sword sweeping through all, sparing nothing.
The situation was most advantageous to him. Although he had temporarily lost control over the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, as soon as it revived, it was bound to return to him—would this scripture dare to dismiss the words of Huo Tian?
Thus, all he needed to do was stall for time.
The five battled fiercely, having no allies, competitors, or even enemies among them. They freely unleashed their attacks, holding nothing back!
"Kill this boy first!" Gongyang Taisun yelled to Tong Anyue; they were both restrained by one person, and it was simply impossible to kill Zhou Heng one on one. And the likelihood of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture returning to Zhou Heng upon its revival was also the highest.
If they killed Zhou Heng, then all four would be starting from the same position, and the struggle for the Heavenly Scripture would depend solely on their skill.
The Red Dragon Empress and Kong Aokun obviously couldn’t ally, so the only partner for Gongyang Taisun was Tong Anyue.
"Agreed!" Tong Anyue made a swift decision. Outside he could crush Zhou Heng hundreds of times with just one hand, but here he had to collaborate with others, which made him feel like a tiger fallen to the plains.
"You cover me for a few moves!" Gongyang Taisun said sternly, he needed to free his hands completely; otherwise, he could never kill Zhou Heng, especially since he only possessed the power of a Sublimation Emperor right now.
After weighing the pros and cons, Tong Anyue said, "Alright!"
His fists tensed, striking towards Kong Aokun and the Red Dragon Empress concurrently.
Instantly, the pressure on Gongyang Taisun vanished, and a wave of blue light shimmered, numerous blue tendrils emerging and entwining towards Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng roared, his Black Sword sweeping wide, his jet-black Sword Qi slashed through the sky and ground, severing all the blue tendrils.
He was now a Thirteen Aspects Sublimation Sovereign, his strength comparable to a Two Aspects Sublimation Emperor; combined with the Immortal Techniques he possessed, he could easily defeat a peak Sublimation Emperor, and even battle Nine Aspects or Ten Aspects Sublimation Emperors without defeat.
Gongyang Taisun possessed Dugu Xuan’s Divine Aspect and had the power of at least a Fourteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor. Moreover, holding a Heavenly Scripture, his battle power was terrifyingly unmatched, undoubtedly making him the strongest among the Sublimation Emperor level.
This was no longer Gongyang Taisun; it could only be considered a split part of Dugu Xuan!
Zhou Heng suddenly fell into disadvantage, his aura unable to affect a Super Creation Emperor! But he was not afraid in the slightest; his left hand trembled again as he summoned the Hundred Ghosts Sword. Amidst the swirling, Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures appeared one after another, each possessing the power of a Two Aspects Sublimation Emperor.
He didn’t need to win, just to buy time until the Blood River Heavenly Scripture completed its integration so he could escape.
Gongyang Taisun became frantic. Dragging this out was absolutely not a good thing! But the Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures summoned by Zhou Heng reached the level of a Two Aspects Sublimation Emperor, and their numbers seemed endless, giving him a headache.
The crucial point was, he couldn’t afford to waste time, who knew when the Blood River Heavenly Scripture would complete its final integration.
"Dugu Xuan, why haven’t you killed that kid yet!" Tong Anyue roared, the pressure on him was enormous as Kong Aokun was desperately battling against him, and the Red Dragon Empress, being a Super Creation Emperor, even if her power was suppressed, her battle power was still terrifyingly potent.
He couldn’t hold on for long, his body already drenched in blood.
Gongyang Taisun roared, reaching up to his forehead and making a cut, blood flowed out, transforming into a cyan mist, crack, crack, crack, Dharma Aspects shattered and merged into his body.
His aura instantly skyrocketed, reaching the heights of Sixteen Aspects, even Eighteen Aspects!
Such an increase came at the cost of completely ruining Gongyang Taisun’s future. Once Dugu Xuan’s Divine Aspect left, Gongyang Taisun wouldn’t just regress in cultivation; it was even questionable whether he could survive.
Dugu Xuan probably never truly considered Gongyang Taisun as a disciple; otherwise, he would never have inhabited his disciple’s body with a Divine Aspect, especially using such a destructive method to increase power.
But in the short term, "Gongyang Taisun" was nearly invincible!
The power of Eighteen Aspects was already close to breaking through the barrier of the Creation Realm, such power was truly terrifying!
Zhou Heng immediately felt immense pressure. Eighteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor, coupled with the Green Wood Heavenly Scripture, that was a destructive force!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures couldn’t get near Gongyang Taisun at all. As soon as they approached, they would automatically disintegrate, his power was now too overpowering, a single fluctuation could destroy a Two Aspects Sublimation Emperor!
"Die!" Gongyang Taisun laughed loudly, sure that if he killed Zhou Heng, he had a 90% chance of capturing the Heavenly Scripture. freewebnøvel_com
Zhou Heng executed Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his figure rapidly flitting about, his objective also clear, to delay time.
The five of them split into two groups, Zhou Heng against Gongyang Taisun, and Tong Anyue alone against the Red Dragon Empress and Kong Aokun. Zhou Heng was clearly at a disadvantage, but Tong Anyue’s situation was even more dire!
He was only a Creation Emperor, but the Red Dragon Empress was a Super Creation Emperor. Though the difference had narrowed somewhat due to Realm suppression, as Sublimation Emperors there was still a difference in the number of Dharma Aspects, where the Red Dragon Empress had a slight edge.
More crucially, the Red Dragon Empress possessed Dragon Clan blood, once Dragon Might was activated, her battle power surged, definitely surpassing Tong Anyue!
Besides that, there was Kong Aokun, fighting as if ready to die!
Kong Aokun was willing to risk his life, but Tong Anyue wasn’t! He was a Creation Emperor, the other just a Creation Sovereign, how could he demean himself to madness together with the opponent? As soon as he left here, he could suppress Kong Aokun with a flip of his hand!
Thus, how could Tong Anyue not fall into a disadvantage, how could he not be in grave danger?
Gongyang Taisun didn’t care at all; right now, he only wanted Zhou Heng dead, lest the Blood River Heavenly Scripture suddenly "awaken" and recognize Zhou Heng as its master again. He was a Super Creation Emperor taking over, sparing no expense even at the cost of destroying himself first, to underestimate such enhancement in battle power?
He completely suppressed Zhou Heng, increasingly restricting Zhou Heng’s area of movement, his face involuntarily twisting with a bloodthirsty expression, confident he could obliterate the young prodigy within a hundred moves.
"Old monster, take this!" A sharp yell, and the Red Dragon Empress had already struck out with a palm.
Gongyang Taisun was furious. What was Tong Anyue doing, wasn’t he supposed to hold them off? How did the Red Dragon Empress manage to attack? He swiftly defended against the strike, who would dare to withstand the Red Dragon Empress’s attack head-on?
And thus, Zhou Heng immediately broke free.
"Tong Anyue, what are you doing?" Gongyang Taisun was furious.
Tong Anyue felt wronged too. How had Gongyang Taisun taken so long and still not managed to kill Zhou Heng? Expected to hold off two experts alone, how could he possibly endure that long?
"You useless old fool!" Tong Anyue was not afraid of Gongyang Taisun, or should say, Dugu Xuan, since the Tong Family did not lack a Super Creation Emperor. And his alliance with Gongyang Taisun was only temporary, ultimately they would turn against each other over the fight for the Heavenly Scripture.
Why would he genuinely dedicate himself to Gongyang Taisun?
"Ignorant child!" Gongyang Taisun sighed to the heavens. If Zhou Heng were not eliminated, endless trouble awaited! How could Tong Anyue be so short-sighted?
The chaos among the five erupted again, battling fiercely until the Blood River Heavenly Scripture suddenly released a strong multicolored glow. A supreme aura circulated, terrifyingly compelling!
The Heavenly Scripture had completed its integration! (To be continued. If you like this work, we invite you to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
