Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 628 - 605 Heavenly Scripture (3/3)
Chapter 628: Chapter 605 Heavenly Scripture (3/3)
"Everyone out!" Kong Qingyang’s right hand swept out, and a powerful force surged through, making the entire Starwind Space tremble. No matter where people were, they were all thrown out one by one.
The battle at the level of the Creation Emperors was about to commence, and those at the Moonlight Realm would certainly meet a dead end if they stayed; he was showing a rare leniency. Otherwise, which Creation Emperor would care about the life and death of insignificant juniors from the Moonlight Realm?
"Gaga, isn’t it merrier with more people?" the Old Blood River Ancestor intervened, his hands waving and summoning a swath of blood light.
His aim was simple: to disrupt the space so that Kong Qingyang could no longer send anyone away. Although his movements were not the quickest, Zhou Heng didn’t know about other places, but only two-thirds of the people here had been sent out—aside from the women and himself, there were still over a dozen who had not left.
"The task of demon purging takes precedence, Brother Kong need not worry about the petty details!" Blood Butterfly spoke, her wings fluttering behind her, creating over a dozen tornados each shimmering with divine light, rolling towards the Old Blood River Ancestor.
"I never expected that the junior who could only watch from the sidelines would now dare to take the initiative to attack me!" the Old Blood River Ancestor raised his hand to block, and with one gesture, he actually brought forth a blood river.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
With the emergence of this blood river, it was as if heaven and earth themselves were collapsing; except for those protected by Huo Tian, the other Moonlight Realm Trials Participants all turned into pools of blood!
"Hand over the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, and I’ll leave you with an intact corpse!" Yu Qianqiu demanded, his palms smacking together to form huge black grinding discs. With infinite power, a slight turn of these discs could effortlessly grind even the Moonlight Emperor to death!
Previously, the Moonlight Kings couldn’t have survived the Old Blood River Ancestor’s hands, let alone withstand this strike!
—In the eyes of these Creation Emperors, even the Sublimation Emperor was worth next to nothing.
"Yu Qianqiu, thirty thousand years have passed—how have you not improved in the slightest?" the Old Blood River Ancestor whipped up the blood river to clash with the attack, causing the black grinding discs to crack upon impact.
Kong Qingyang and the other six furrowed their brows in unison, not expectant that the Old Blood River Ancestor, in such a state, still held such power!
One must know that although the Old Blood River Ancestor seemed to have healed his wounds, his spiritual power had been massively depleted, used to nourish his physical body, indeed presenting a strong facade yet being hollow inside. Yet even so, his display of power was formidable, making it hard to imagine the battle power he held at his peak!

The reason the Old Blood River Ancestor was so powerful was that he had cultivated the Blood River Heavenly Scripture—not a Cultivation Technique he created but one that made him famous throughout the world because of him!
This extraordinary tome must be obtained!
The seven Great Creation Emperors joined forces, each deploying their Peerless Technique, launching an assault on the Old Blood River Ancestor. The Old Blood River Ancestor, terrifyingly mighty, unleashed a blood river that was both offensive and defensive, blocking every attack the seven emperors threw at him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The frenzied waves of attack demolished the entire valley in an instant. Although Zhou Heng and the others were protected by Huo Tian, Zhou Heng did not want to draw too much attention to himself. He quickly shepherded the women back, as he couldn’t participate in such a battle. Even observing it wouldn’t aid his cultivation.
Because the level of the battle was too high and beyond his understanding, watching it would be pointless for him.
"Do you know what the Blood River Heavenly Scripture is?" Zhou Heng leaned in and asked Huo Tian.
As the focus of the battle among the seven Creation Emperors, the Blood River Heavenly Scripture surely encompassed the secrets of the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, being at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm, why would the emperors bother fighting over a Cultivation Technique?
Huo Tian paused slightly, then showed a contemplative look. After a while, she said, "Heavenly Scriptures are Cultivation Techniques nurtured by heaven and earth, of extraordinary value!"
Cultivation Techniques nurtured by heaven and earth?
Not only was Zhou Heng surprised, Ying Mengfan and the other women also turned their heads, their interest piqued.
Huo Tian looked up at the sky, seemingly searching her memory. Behind her, a massive peach blossom phantom bloomed. After a moment, she said, "The Heavenly Scripture I practice is the Yunyun Heavenly Scripture!"
Boom!
The minds of Zhou Heng and the others were blown!
How powerful was Huo Tian? Although they were not fully aware of her strength, they had witnessed a being of at least the Creation King level shattered by the Runes she had released, and she had said that the Creation Emperors were no more significant to her than ants!
She was cultivating the Yunyun Heavenly Scripture, and the Old Blood River Ancestor was practicing the Blood River Heavenly Scripture—did this mean that he might reach the same heights as Huo Tian in the future?
"Every world will nurture several Heavenly Scriptures that reveal the secrets of the universe. If one can truly integrate and understand a Heavenly Scripture, they can break through the limits of that world without obstruction!" Huo Tian chose her words cautiously.
A thought struck Zhou Heng, and he asked, "Does that mean even the Mortal Realm will have Heavenly Scriptures that appear?"
Huo Tian nodded, giving Zhou Heng a slight smile, as though praising his quick reaction.
"Is this Blood River Heavenly Scripture nurtured by the Mortal Realm or by the Immortal Realm?" Zhou Heng asked further.
"I don’t know!" Huo Tian answered quickly, shaking her head, "However, even if the Blood River Heavenly Scripture is a Heavenly Scripture from the Mortal Realm, it holds immense value. Every Heavenly Scripture contains the secrets of the heavens and the earth of a world, and no matter how advanced your cultivation level is, you will find use for it!"
Zhou Heng’s heart fluttered involuntarily. The Falling Snow True Scripture he practiced, although a Heaven Level cultivation technique, was from the Mortal Realm and had long since lost its significance in the Immortal Realm. He indeed needed to switch to a new cultivation technique.
What could be more precious than a Heavenly Scripture nurtured by the heavens and earth themselves?
Even the Seven Great Creation Emperors rushed over here in haste. What were they after if not to break through the limits of the Immortal Realm and become someone like Huo Tian at her peak?
"If you can obtain the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, it should be of some help to your path of cultivation!" Huo Tian said on the side.
Zhou Heng couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "That sounds simple, but there are eight Creation Emperors over there. Do you want me to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?"
"I can help you get the Blood River Heavenly Scripture!" Huo Tian said nonchalantly.
Zhou Heng was overjoyed. Although he didn’t want to rely on Huo Tian’s power, the current situation obviously wasn’t one he could succeed in by sheer effort alone. Only a Peerless Heavenly Maiden like Huo Tian could casually talk about snatching treasures from the hands of eight Creation Emperors!
"Are you sure you can?" Zhou Heng wasn’t doubting Huo Tian’s ability, but there were eight Creation Emperors present, all at the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm. Meanwhile, Huo Tian was only the Moonlight King, which made it hard to imagine.
"As soon as the old man sacrifices the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, I can snatch it!" Huo Tian said indifferently, her tone full of confidence.
"Sacrifice the Blood River Heavenly Scripture?" Zhou Heng asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Did you think the Blood River Heavenly Scripture was just a cultivation technique?" Huo Tian actually revealed a hint of a smile. "How could a cultivation technique nurtured by the heavens and earth have only such a small function? The Heavenly Scripture itself is a treasure artifact!"
Zhou Heng’s mind was stirred, and he suddenly said, "The peach branch within your body, is that the Yunyun Heavenly Scripture?"
Huo Tian touched her chest with a finger, and a section of the peach branch immediately appeared, seeming utterly ordinary. Had Zhou Heng not seen it before, he would never have imagined that this peach branch could once have reached from the heavens to the earth!
"Correct, this is the Yunyun Heavenly Scripture, and also my life-bound magical artifact!" Huo Tian said lightly. Such a great secret should have been closely guarded, yet she spoke of it openly, seemingly unconcerned if her listeners became covetous.
Fortunately, aside from Zhou Heng, the others around were Ying Mengfan and her companions, none of whom would harbor ill will against Huo Tian. There was, however, one exception. Black Donkey’s eyes had turned red with desire, and its drool was flowing like a broken water jar, unable to contain its excitement.
But as much as the despicable donkey coveted treasure, not even with a hundredfold courage would it dare to entertain the thought of crossing Huo Tian. In Black Donkey’s mind, Huo Tian was the archetypal female demon. It might dare to provoke the sky and the earth, but it would never dare to provoke such a terrifying being.
"Injured?" Zhou Heng noticed the break on the peach branch.
"No matter, the Heavenly Scripture is fused with me. As long as I restore my cultivation level, it too will be made whole!" Huo Tian said with airy ease.
Apart from that mysterious female arch-rival, it seemed there was nothing in this world that could cause her to lose composure. Of course, if Zhou Heng harassed her, she would also be frustrated because her ultra-ability was ineffective against Zhou Heng.
"You mean, once Old Blood River sacrifices the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, you’ll take the opportunity to snatch it?" Zhou Heng looked at the Peerless Heavenly Maiden. Although her appearance was unassuming, the sight of her still made Zhou Heng’s heart race, filled with the urge to kiss her until the end of time.
Overwhelmed by his fiery gaze, Huo Tian turned her head slightly and said, "Those guys were right and wrong. This old man really is outwardly strong but inwardly weak; he won’t last much longer and will definitely have to sacrifice the Blood River Heavenly Scripture to escape without paying a price!"
Zhou Heng frowned and said, "You mean, even without the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, that old monster could break through?"
"Hmm!" Huo Tian hummed, tilting her head.
Zhou Heng chuckled. He loved to tease Huo Tian until she was utterly flustered. It made her seem more like a woman. Otherwise, what fun was there if she was cold all the time? He said, "You’re helping me so much; how should I repay you?"
"You are my junior brother; it’s proper for me to look after you."
"Even brothers settle accounts clearly. Why not, I offer myself in return?"
"Buzz off!"
Zhou Heng roared with laughter, probably being the first and only person who could get Huo Tian to curse at someone!
While they continued their conversation, the battle raging in the distance was fierce. In just a few minutes, the Starwind Space was devastated beyond recognition. The ground was riddled with unfathomably deep fissures that kept opening and widening, and the collapse of the entire continent seemed imminent.
This was a battle between Creation Emperors, the strongest in the Immortal Realm, and the destruction of a small world was not at all unusual.
As everyone anticipated, Old Blood River was indeed strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Although he had healed his wounds, it had cost him a significant amount of spiritual power. He quickly grew increasingly weak and fell into a state of exhaustion.
However, the concept of time between the Immortal Realm and Mortal Realm is completely different. Although it was said to be quick, it had been three days! But for Immortal Realm experts, who could easily battle for years, three days really did count as short.
"Old Blood River Ancestor, stop your futile struggle. Hand over the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, and we will grant you a swift death!" Yuanshuo Zhenhe shouted.
"Hahaha! Since you all desire the Blood River Heavenly Scripture so much, let me show you its power!" Old Blood River Ancestor laughed and slapped his chest. A blood-red streamer shot out from within his body, wrapping around him.
