Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 629 - 606 Stealing the Heavenly Scripture (1/3)

Once the Blood River Heavenly Scripture appeared, a supreme pressure instantly overflowed, causing everyone to feel an immense reverence from the bottom of their hearts.

It was the authority of heaven and earth!

The Heavenly Scripture is nurtured by heaven and earth itself, representing a will, an extreme of heaven and earth!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All attacks that struck the Blood River Heavenly Scripture were immediately absorbed, not even stirring a ripple! But Kong Qingyang and the other six showed no change in expression. This was the Blood River Heavenly Scripture; if it didn’t possess such formidable power, why would they bother trying to seize it?

The more powerful the Blood River Heavenly Scripture displayed itself to be, the more delighted they were, for this divine treasure would change masters before long!

Although Old Blood River Ancestor seemed to have turned the tables for now, how could he possibly use a divine treasure of heaven and earth without paying a price? Normally, perhaps Old Blood River Ancestor could bear it, but definitely not now.

Within Huo Tian’s eyes emerged the faint shadows of twin peach blossoms, and a profound and mysterious power surged forth, yet it was so subtle that no one could detect it.

Whoosh!

The blood-red whip that danced around Old Blood River Ancestor suddenly disappeared, mysterious and untraceable!

Old Blood River Ancestor was shocked, Kong Qingyang was shocked, Jade Lake Fairy was shocked, Yu Qianqiu was shocked... All eight Creation Emperors were taken aback, and the fierce battle came to an abrupt halt!

"Where, where is this old ancestor’s Heavenly Scripture?" Old Blood River Ancestor exclaimed, both shocked and furious, as he felt the complete loss of connection with the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, as if it had been completely erased from this world!

How could that be!

He was a Creation Emperor, after all. No matter where the Blood River Heavenly Scripture was, he should have been able to sense it. He had long since refined this divine treasure of heaven and earth. Although it hadn’t fused with him, he should have been able to sense it no matter the distance!

"Return it to me! Return it to me!" Old Blood River Ancestor screamed like a madman, his eyes bloodshot, his white hair whipping wildly through the sky; he stretched out his gaunt arms, staring venomously at Kong Qingyang and the other six.

But Kong Qingyang and the others were also completely bewildered. Although they all desired to take this divine treasure of heaven and earth, the key point was they didn’t have the capability! How many years had the Blood River Heavenly Scripture been refined by Old Blood River Ancestor? Unless they could kill the Old Blood River Ancestor, it was impossible for them to take the Blood River Heavenly Scripture! Of course, they didn’t believe that the Blood River Heavenly Scripture had indeed disappeared from Old Blood River Ancestor, and were certain that this old man had intentionally retracted the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, then lied about it being gone!

Pah, did they think they had lived on a dog’s back for tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands?

Who would be fooled by such tricks!

"Old Blood River Ancestor, stop playing the thief crying ’stop thief.’ Return the Blood River Heavenly Scripture and we can let you off the hook!" the Jade Lake Fairy reprimanded sternly.

Playing the thief crying ’stop thief’?

Old Blood River Ancestor felt a profound sadness rising from the depths of his heart. He had killed countless people throughout his life, and when the mood struck him, he had done even more ruthless deeds. In his youth, he had been frivolous, and countless women known as fairies had been toyed with by him, but he had never been wrongfully accused before!

What theft had he committed? The Blood River Heavenly Scripture was originally his, did he need to hide it and deceive others? What was most frustrating was that if he had actually hidden it, things would be better. Now the Blood River Heavenly Scripture seemed to have vanished from this world, leaving him in panic!

Everything he had achieved was because of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture. Even though he hadn’t fully mastered the scripture, he had become a Creation Emperor, and the next step wasn’t far away!

The Blood River Heavenly Scripture couldn’t be lost, as it was the key to whether he could continue to climb to higher peaks!

"Hand over my Heavenly Scripture!" Old Blood River Ancestor bellowed, launching a fierce counterattack instead of maintaining his defensive stance from before. A blood river, like a galaxy falling from the heavens, soared and twisted wildly.

This blood river was terrifying beyond imagination; even a Creation Emperor would be corroded and refined if they fell into it!

Kong Qingyang and the others dared not be careless, for who would underestimate a Creation Emperor fighting with their life on the line? A moment’s inattention could drag them down to their doom, not to mention Old Blood River Ancestor, a forceful and veteran Creation Emperor, could possibly fight to a mutual destruction against the seven of them!

However, whether it was courage or anger, such extreme emotions couldn’t indefinitely boost battle power. Once the battle power started to fall, it wouldn’t simply return to the starting point, but plunge dramatically!

Although Old Blood River Ancestor was formidable, his opponents were after all seven Creation Emperors; it was impossible for him to break through their tight defense, and his battle power began to plummet rapidly.

If the struggle continued, he would die here!

Kong Qingyang and the others were also very puzzled. The fact that Old Blood River Ancestor possessed the Blood River Heavenly Scripture was no secret. Why would this old monster, after just having started to utilize it, withdraw the Heavenly Scripture again, putting himself in a completely unfavorable situation?

To say it was acting, it was both too genuine and too much, right?

Could it be that the old monster really "lost" the Blood River Heavenly Scripture?

But who could possibly steal the Blood River Heavenly Scripture from under the eyes of the eight Creation Emperors? Impossible! So, it all came back to square one that Old Blood River Ancestor was playing the thief crying ’stop thief.’

"Old Blood River Ancestor, there’s nowhere left for you to retreat!" Blood Butterfly vibrated her wings, unleashing terrifying whirlwinds, lights of Divine Radiance flashing. She looked stunningly beautiful, yet she was filled with a fearsome killing intent.

Old Blood River Ancestor remained silent, no matter if the Blood River Heavenly Scripture was taken away by these seven individuals by some means, with his current strength he already lacked the ability to take it back!

What was urgent now was to break free and restore his strength! As long as he fully recovered, everything would be negotiable again. The Blood River Heavenly Scripture had been refined by him for over a hundred thousand years, and nobody could easily erase the spiritual imprint he had left!

He believed that even beings of the same rank as him would need tens of thousands of years to possibly erase his spiritual brand, and only then might they glimpse the secrets of heaven and earth recorded in the Heavenly Scripture!

Matters had priorities, and what needed to be done now was to escape with all his might!

Once Old Blood River Ancestor’s thought was set, he immediately put it into action. He let out a long howl, holding a river of blood in each hand, sweeping left and right with an invincible posture!

Kong Qingyang and the others all released their full battle power to confront the Blood River, otherwise, if they were swept into it, even if they were Creation Emperors, it would be to no avail, as they would be refined into bloody water!

This was a Cultivation Technique nurtured by heaven and earth!

"Old Blood River Ancestor, today shall be your end!" Kong Qingyang and the seven roared angrily. It was clear that Old Blood River Ancestor was going all out, leaving them no way to retreat. The only option was to kill this old monster before taking the Blood River Heavenly Scripture.

They pushed their battle power to the utmost limit, each unleashing their peerless techniques toward Old Blood River Ancestor!

This strike carried their intent to kill, to the point where they didn’t hesitate to damage their own cultivation levels to launch such a brilliant and mighty attack!

"Hahaha, you’re not qualified to kill this Old Ancestor!" Old Blood River Ancestor laughed wildly. His entire being transformed into a river of blood. Boom, boom, boom, seven attacks capable of collapsing heaven and earth attacked but were swallowed up by the Blood River like a mud ox into the sea.

In just an instant afterward, Old Blood River Ancestor’s body rematerialized, his face flushed with what seemed like a considerable cost for his earlier actions.

"You, you’ve actually touched that barrier!" Ma Sanhe trembled as he spoke. It was unclear whether his tone was filled with shock or envy, or perhaps both.

"This Old Ancestor has had the Blood River Heavenly Scripture for nearly two hundred thousand years, did you really think that I, unlike you idiots, would never glimpse that door?" Old Blood River Ancestor said proudly, drawing with his right hand towards the sky, revealing a tear in the void.

Kong Qingyang and the seven knew he was trying to flee, but the strike they had made earlier had left them yet to recover, rendering them powerless to stop him.

"You all wait for this Old Ancestor! After this Old Ancestor has recovered, I will go to Juexian City and annihilate you and your clans completely!" With a spring in his step, Old Blood River Ancestor leapt into the crack in the void.

In the moment when the rift was closing, he cast a glance towards Zhou Heng and his group in the distance, only then noticing the existence of this bunch of ants.

How were they still alive?

Under the onslaught of the aftermath of a battle at the level of the Creation Emperor, how could a mere Moonlight Emperor manage to protect a dozen or so Moonlight Sovereigns and Moonlight Kings? There must be something strange!

Could it be that they were related to the theft of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture?

Old Blood River Ancestor suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. That last move seemed fierce, but only he knew the price he had paid. Now the only thing he could do was to recuperate and recover. Whether the theft of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture had anything to do with them or not would have to wait until he recovered before he could investigate. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

...

"That old monster actually got away!" Kong Qingyang and the seven showed an extreme look of disappointment.

They had been full of hope, but paying the price of their own cultivation level’s consumption had only severely wounded Old Blood River Ancestor and forced him away, which was far from achieving their goal, no wonder they were disappointed.

"We must search the world; that old monster’s injuries are also quite severe this time. He will need to find a quiet place to heal. As long as we find him before his injuries heal, we still have hope!"

"Exactly, we must eliminate this menace, otherwise, he will surely bring disaster to the world!"

The seven Creation Emperors communicated their thoughts and, one by one, with a single gesture, tore open the void and departed. However, not everyone left; one person stayed behind, Dongguo Heng.

With one step, he arrived in front of Zhou Heng and the others, his gaze sweeping over the women, revealing a hint of shock.

These women were each more elegant than the last. Upon closer observation, each one had excellent root bones, the type of geniuses who could learn anything with ease. The occasional appearance of such a genius could make a host of experts fight over them to take them as disciples, let alone a dozen suddenly appearing at once; it was truly unbelievable!

He was stunned for a moment before turning to Zhou Heng and said, "I am Dongguo Heng, aside from being a Creation Emperor, I have another identity – Six Star Pharmacist!"

Six Star Pharmacist? To be a Six Star Pharmacist was already rare, and coupled with being a Creation Emperor was even more impressive, signifying he wasn’t just a giant in the Martial Path, but also possessed an extremely high talent in the Alchemy Dao!

Of course, compared to a Six Star Pharmacist, being a Creation Emperor was still more terrifying!

"You must be Zhou Heng," Dongguo Heng said with a smile, "I have seen your portrait! I came over this time to meet the newly emerged Three Stars Pharmacist. I heard those youngsters have given you a very high evaluation!"

Zhou Heng smiled slightly, "In alchemy, I do indeed have a couple of tricks!"

Shameless kid!
