Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 800 - 777 Blood Moon Maiden (1/3)

Zhou Heng didn’t dare to be careless; there might be Demon Beasts at the level of a Creation Sovereign, or even a Creation Emperor here, which he was currently not strong enough to contend with.

Moreover, this place itself was incredibly bizarre, with a Supreme Deity whose fate—dead or alive—was unknown.

He also dared not release the Red Dragon Empress and the others. If they encountered a Demon Beast at the level of a Creation Sovereign, he wouldn’t be able to protect them at all.

A landscape of lush green hills and clear waters, like an earthly paradise.

One must admit, the environment here was extremely beautiful, with rows of fruit trees bearing unnamed fruits, each vibrant and delicious. Eating just one, it was sweet and filled with potent Spiritual Energy.

Unfortunately, they weren’t of Holy Medicine level.

Of course, the so-called Holy Medicine has different definitions at different levels. Fruits like these, if taken to the Mortal Realm, would absolutely be considered top-tier Holy Medicine. And the Holy Medicine he had taken before, if brought to the Bright Realm, might be no different from these fruits.

Different levels, different values.

In the Mortal Realm, Spirit Stones are used; in the Immortal Realm, Immortal Stones are used. It’s just like that, but who knows what cultivation resources the Bright Realm uses?

...Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal?

For some reason, Zhou Heng suddenly thought of this mysterious cultivation resource, something that can only be nurtured by a planet over tens or even hundreds of billions of years, absolutely precious beyond compare.

Actually, it’s not impossible to cultivate without Spirit Stones or Immortal Stones; it’s just a bit slower. Moreover, with the aid of Spiritual Medicine, the speed not only wouldn’t be slow but could even be increased.

It’s just that the quantity of Spiritual Medicine is too scarce. If everyone wanted to rely on Spiritual Medicine for cultivation, it would absolutely be in short supply.

As Zhou Heng thought about this, he continued to make his way up the mountain.

A few hours later, he saw a Demon Beast as enormous as a mountain, exuding the fierce might of a Creation Sovereign, terrifying beyond compare! In fact, just its sheer size was fearsome enough, and its skin, akin to heavy armor, made Zhou Heng doubt if even the Sky-soaring Nine Forms could cut through it.

Demon Beasts, unlike humans, cannot use various Martial Arts Techniques, but they are inherently blessed, born with formidable bodies, enough to compensate for their gap with Martial Artists.

Such a battle would be meaningless; Zhou Heng cautiously avoided it, and that Demon Beast was lazily lying on the ground sleeping, seemingly indifferent to Zhou Heng.

After another hour or so, he encountered a gigantic mantis, whose golden sickle-like arm instantly decapitated a White Tiger, feasting with delight.

Both were peak Creation Sovereigns!

The mantis was eating heartily, paying no attention to Zhou Heng, as if this tiny one couldn’t even fill its belly, not worth bothering with at all.

Aqua Buffalo, Crimson Two-headed Jiao, Big Red Wolf... Along the way, Zhou Heng saw numerous Demon Beasts, any one of whom could descend the mountain and utterly destroy the entire Immortal Domain. As he ascended, the level of Demon Beasts he encountered also increased, culminating in the strongest of Creation Emperors!

Zhou Heng tread as if on thin ice; encountering a Creation Emperor Demon Beast left him with nothing but the option to flee!

This mountain was unbelievably high!

Zhou Heng had been traveling for three days and nights, yet he still hadn’t reached the top.

Unfortunately, on the fourth day, he encountered a Nine-eyed Spider hunting for food, a Six Aspects Creation Emperor, which immediately pursued him! Fortunately, it wasn’t long before he ran into another hunting Crimson Golden Eagle, and the two Creation Emperor-level Demon Beasts began fighting, giving Zhou Heng a chance to escape.

It was truly unfair; having just claimed the Immortal Domain, he found himself fleeing pathetically here!

Zhou Heng sighed. This entire place was filled with Creation Realm beings. Facing a Creation King, he might still stand a chance by using the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, but confronting higher-level beings left him truly powerless.

—The gap in realm stands right there!

He used the Five Elements Rune to mask his aura, proceeding with utmost caution, as if invisible, continuously advancing towards the mountain summit.

Seven days later, he finally saw the mountain peak!

Boom!

A blood-red brilliance shot straight into the sky, followed by an inexplicable wave, instilling a deep awe from within one’s heart. The Black Sword in his Dantian trembled slightly, dissipating this wave.

Almost there!

Is there really a Supreme Deity up there?

And... the fragments of the Broken Sword!

Zhou Heng became even more cautious, not wanting any complications at this time.

However, even though he saw the summit, it was still quite far away, taking him another half-day to finally reach the very top.

The mountaintop was very flat.

Like a Martial Battle Arena, it was a huge platform, with a blood-colored pool right in the center.

Buzz, the Black Sword trembled, pointing directly at the Blood Pool.

Are the Black Sword fragments in there?

After surveying the surrounding environment, Zhou Heng leapt forward, arriving at the edge of the Blood Pool after a few strides.

He looked into the Blood Pool, but instead of a reflection, he saw a world!

Boom!

His mind shook, his Sea of Consciousness churned with countless images, showcasing the lives of countless people in the Mortal Realm and Immortal Domain. Such an influx in that instant was beyond his capacity to bear!

"Ah—" Zhou Heng half-kneeled by the pool, letting out a pained groan.

After more than ten minutes, he slowly recovered, his face showing an indescribable expression.

In that moment, he saw countless happy lives, but also countless tragedies, making him feel as if he had experienced endless years, giving him an overwhelming sense of emotional turmoil.

This was practically a Demon Pool!

The fragments of the Black Sword should be at the bottom of the pool, not retrieving them?

Zhou Heng shook his head, how could that be possible! He took out the Black Sword and attempted to probe into the pool, trying to let this Treasure Artifact attract the broken parts back on its own, but he... thought too much!

The pool water remained calm, without any reaction!

The Black Sword was only so short, it couldn’t even reach the bottom!

Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and extended his left hand into the pool; hum, a tremor passed through his fingers.

Boom!

Just then, the entire pool suddenly boiled over, bubbling, as if it had been brought to a boil. He quickly withdrew his hand and stood on guard, but he immediately realized that the ripples in the pool water did not stop as he withdrew his hand; instead, it continued to boil, and the commotion grew larger and larger.

Whoosh, a vortex formed in the center of the pool, swirling faster and faster!

Whoa——

Blood waves shot skyward, swirling out from the pool, yet not a drop fell, as if writhing and forming some kind of special pattern.

Zhou Heng retreated steadily, now he could only watch in silence.

Very soon, these blood waves formed into a circle, like a blood moon hanging in the sky!

It turns out that the pattern on the Jade Talisman was a full moon, a blood-red full moon!

Blood Moon!

Zhou Heng was suddenly shocked at heart, remembering the fairy continent that crashed into Xuanqian Star, a fairly well-preserved Taoist dojo, with a blood moon mark at its entrance that triggered Huo Tian’s rage.

Later, the master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion of the Heavenly Dragon Empire on the Xuanqian Star, Dan Dingkun, also had a Jade Talisman engraved with the Blood Moon; this power spanning both the Immortal and Mortal Realms was searching for their true master.

Zhou Heng had always speculated that the true master of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion was the possessor of the Blood Moon mark, which was why he had no fondness for the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion.

Now... could this Blood Moon represent that mysterious person?

Hum, a figure floated up from beneath the pool, it was a woman in a bright red gown; because she was lying flat, Zhou Heng couldn’t see her face, but her gauze dress was like blood, and her black hair was like a waterfall!

Her body slowly turned from horizontal to vertical, eyes closed, limbs drooping, seeming to be in a state of unconsciousness, and behind her was a Blood Moon!

Zhou Heng finally saw her true appearance!

Unparallelled beauty!

Zhou Heng had thought Huo Tian’s beauty was unique and that no other woman in this world could compare, but now he had to admit that the creations of heaven and earth are the most miraculous!

This woman’s grace could rival that of Huo Tian!

He was involuntarily captivated, his mind became hazy, he had no idea how long it lasted, perhaps just an instant, or maybe several hours, he completely lost sense of time.

This must be Huo Tian’s mortal enemy, the owner of the Blood Moon mark!

The supreme power of laws here, plus this Blood Moon pattern, made Zhou Heng a hundred percent certain!

His murderous intent surged abruptly!

This is Huo Tian’s mortal enemy, who might harm or even kill Huo Tian!

No matter how beautiful, someone who would harm Huo Tian is his mortal enemy!

How powerful this enemy truly is... Zhou Heng couldn’t determine, but certainly at Huo Tian’s level, otherwise, Huo Tian wouldn’t hate her to the core — without strength, how could one incite such hatred, like an ant biting an elephant, would the elephant even care?

Kill!

Zhou Heng brandished the Black Sword, his most powerful killer move now was the Sky-soaring Nine Forms!

Sword Intent flowed, Five Elements Runes wove across the sword, Zhou Heng focused himself, calming his spirit.

The Blood Moon Maiden might currently be at her weakest, this was the best chance to kill her, perhaps the only one!

Attack!

Zhou Heng leaped out, the Black Sword quivered, the Sword Qi danced rapidly, and the Sky-soaring Nine Forms commenced!

Hum!

The Black Sword stopped one foot away from the Blood Moon Maiden, unable to advance any further!

And at that moment, the Blood Moon Maiden slowly opened her eyes!

She was originally breathtakingly beautiful, but with her eyes closed, there was always a lack of liveliness, now, with her eyes open, her pretty face possessed an unparalleled spiritual essence, as if a painting had gained a soul, able to come to life.

Seeing the Broken Sword so close, a flicker of anger surfaced on her face, but immediately, a slight surprise appeared; with a mere grasp, the Black Sword fell into her hand, and Zhou Heng was pressed gently by her hand in the air, landing on the ground.

She showed a thoughtful look; with a shake of her right hand, a dark iron piece appeared, seemingly a fragment of a sword blade.

Indeed, this was a fragment of the Black Sword!

Zhou Heng could sense the joy emanating from the Black Sword! What struck him even more was the utter lack of repulsion the Black Sword had for the Blood Moon Maiden; instead, it actually showed considerable affection!

What is going on?

A ghostly glow flickered, and the iron piece merged with the Black Sword, a jubilant and inspiring aura flowed, as if rejoicing in the reunion.

"Why do you wish to harm me?" The Blood Moon Maiden floated in mid-air, speaking to Zhou Heng; her voice was as sweet as a spring, yet carried an unrivaled majesty, so potent that even a Super Creation Emperor pales by comparison in front of her!
