Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 769 - 746: Return to the Star Sea (3/3)

After continuously shuttling through space for over four months, the star ship finally stopped its spatial jumps.

The Red Dragon Empress observed the drift of meteoric stones in the starry sky to deduce — after such a long time, the original continent must have drifted far away, and they needed to estimate its possible location based on the drifting speed of the falling stones.

The star ship slowed down and began searching in the dark cosmos.

"My lord, that continent is easy to recognize, as it emits a blood light every day that shoots up tens of thousands of miles!" One of the crew members said. He was one of those who had discovered the continent aboard the star ship, and Zhou Heng had specifically brought him along.

Zhou Heng nodded, with such a distinctive reaction, it was indeed easy to recognize.

One day, two days, three days... eleven days later, they finally caught up with the continent.

"Look, my lord!" Zhou was sitting cross-legged on the deck, meditating on the mysteries of the Five Elements Runes, suddenly awakened by several excited crew members. He stood up and looked in the direction they were pointing, seeing a huge continent floating in the cosmos thousands of miles ahead.

This continent was surrounded by breaches, likely resulting from collisions with other continents during its long journey through the starry sky, displaying a weathered aura.

Zhou Heng gazed across the expanse; the continent was truly vast, not at all smaller than any Immortal City, floating through space like a silent behemoth that could crush any existence in its path.

In Ancient Times, the Immortal Realm and Mortal Realm were alike, with whole Immortal Stars. And the larger the Immortal Star, the richer the Spiritual Energy it contained, known as a large star or giant star.

This piece of continent must have been a fragment severed from a large star, with its longest sides at least millions of miles apart, and this was just a shattered piece of land; how massive then was a true Immortal Star?

Alas, in the past, the Big Shots of the Bright Realm fought, utterly destroying the Immortal Realm!

Boom!

As Zhou Heng was transfixed by the sight, he saw a burst of blood-colored light erupting from the distant continent, reaching tens of thousands of miles into the sky, strikingly conspicuous.

"You all pilot the ship to follow, but do not get close!" Zhou Heng ordered, while he went back into the cabin to wake up the lazing Red Dragon Empress, the Blue Dragon Empress and Mu Tongtong, who were gambling. There was no need to remind the Black Donkey, as it was quicker to react than anyone else, its tongue already hanging out, eagerly prepared at the side.

"There are ancient ruins everywhere in the starry sky, Zhou, let’s just not go back and keep searching for treasure throughout the cosmos!" The Black Donkey said excitedly.

"I’m not as greedy as you are!" Zhou Heng scooped up Mu Tongtong with one hand and flew towards the continent.

"Hey, big stinky uncle, don’t you dare get handsy with Tongtong!" Mu Tongtong warned Zhou Heng.

Several years had passed, and the little girl had hardly grown at all, still like a sprout of a green bean.

Immortals have long lifespans, so their growth rate is much slower. People in the Mortal Realm are almost mature by fifteen or sixteen, but it is common for those in the Immortal Realm to begin development only after a hundred years.

Mu Tongtong was like that, looking no different from a seven or eight-year-old girl. Though her small face was exquisitely cute, and she had the special bloodline of the Elf Race, who could be interested in her shriveled little body, unless it was someone with that particular fetish?

"Wait another few hundred years!" Zhou Heng said, holding her by the collar and moving her further away, laughing, "And don’t you pee on me!"

Pah, to think she was a baby who would wet the bed?

Mu Tongtong glared at Zhou Heng, pouting her lips, looking deeply aggrieved.

Zhou Heng laughed heartily. Behind him, the Red Dragon Empress was dragging along the Blue Dragon Empress, and further behind was the Black Donkey, desperately keeping up using Swift Cloud Radiant Step, blaming its weakest cultivation level.

"It’s so fast, how thrilling!" The Blue Dragon Empress was calling out excitedly like a child, while the Red Dragon Empress was utterly annoyed by her. She was inherently lazy; it should have been her being led!

There wasn’t a hint of gravity in the starry sky; their speed was incredibly fast, and within just ten minutes, they had landed on the continent. Looking back from there, their star ship had shrunk to a tiny black dot, easily overlooked.

"Let’s go!" Zhou Heng said after all four and the donkey had landed.

"I can’t walk anymore!" The Red Dragon Empress draped herself on the Blue Dragon Empress’s back, acting as if playing dead rather than walking by herself.

The Blue Dragon Empress looked innocently wronged. How could she, this "little girl," be expected to act like a beast of burden?

Zhou Heng could not be bothered with the pair of Dragon Clan Empresses and took Mu Tongtong’s hand to walk forward. Although there was some gravity here, at most, it was on the level of the Hai Immortal City, which wouldn’t be any burden for Mu Tongtong, the Sunshine King, let alone for two Super Creation Emperors.

Whether the Blue Dragon Empress and the Red Dragon Empress were Super Creation Emperors or of Bright Immortal level, Zhou had never quite figured out, as they had never gone all out in battle.

Heading towards the source of the Blood Light, Zhou Heng harbored some suspicion whether it could be the hiding place of the Old Blood River Ancestor.

—The Old Blood River Ancestor had, after all, broken through the encirclement years ago, but at the cost of a thirty-thousand-year deficit, continuously consuming his own Spiritual Power to heal himself with Healing Runes. Later, to break free, he had further harmed himself, and it would take centuries to fully recover.

Perhaps he had hidden himself deep within the Star Sea?

When Zhou Heng saw the Blood Light for the second time, because the distance was much closer, he faintly felt that it was definitely not from the Old Blood River Ancestor.

The aura was completely different!

The Black Sword vibrated gently, conveying a sense of urgency.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be startled; the last time the Black Sword reacted this way was when it encountered Huo Tian, as Huo Tian had a piece of the Black Sword’s fragment on him. So, what about now? Could it be that there was a second fragment of the Black Sword hidden here?

Interest piqued, he quickened his pace.

"Hmm?" The Red Dragon Empress suddenly stopped, closed her eyes to sense the surroundings, and said, "There are others here!"

"Where?" asked Zhou Heng, knowing that as a Super Creation Emperor, her perception ability was far superior to his own.

"Over there!" The Red Dragon Empress pointed in a direction.

"Let’s go have a look!" Zhou Heng’s brows furrowed. Could it be that the message they had brought back had attracted the attention of others, who had also sent people to investigate?

Indeed, the direction the Red Dragon Empress pointed to was also towards where the Blood Light originated, but it was slightly off-course, as if coming from two different starting points but leading to the same central location.

Just an hour later, they arrived at the front of a city.

However, it would be more accurate to describe it as a stronghold rather than a city; it was surrounded with Spirit Light Cannons, and patrols of martial artists could be seen from a distance, maintaining a high level of vigilance.

"This is... the Star Sea Pirates!" Zhou Heng recognized the flags around the stronghold, marked with the distinctive Skull Head emblem of the Star Sea Pirates.

Were the Star Sea Pirates also planning to get a share of this forbidden land?

If what was truly confined here were the Dragon Emperor or one of the other three Dragon Sovereigns, not only would they not receive the slightest benefit, but they would also invite great misfortune!

Zhou Heng had no intention of warning them. Juexian City did not represent justice, and most of the Star Sea Pirates had indeed committed unforgivable crimes, forcing them to flee deep into the Star Sea.

This band of Star Sea Pirates was not weak!

In just a short while of observation, Zhou Heng had spotted at least three Sublimation Kings among the patrolling commanders. If a Sublimation King could serve as a patrol member, it was natural not to underestimate the strength of this band of Star Sea Pirates, and there must definitely be a Creation Realm Expert in command. freewёbnoνel.com

On Zhou Heng’s side, although there were two Super Creation Emperors, which one of them was reliable?

One was a little girl who thought of herself as the Sunshine King, and the other was incredibly lazy, making it harder than anything to get her to take action!

Since their mission wasn’t to exterminate the Star Sea Pirates, Zhou Heng waved his hand, signaling to bypass them.

They continued towards the place where the Blood Light had risen. Half a day later, they unexpectedly ran into a group of Star Sea Pirates returning from ahead.

If the Red Dragon Empress had given prior warning, they could have surely avoided these people, but the lazy empress had been lying on the Blue Dragon Empress’s back, soundly asleep the whole time, which led to a direct confrontation between the two parties.

Since the leader of the other party was a Sublimation Emperor, when Zhou Heng sensed their presence, the other party also sensed the arrival of Zhou Heng’s group.

"Hahaha, a few adventurers from Juexian City!" The group of Star Sea Pirates numbered ten, and apart from the leader who was a Sublimation Emperor, the rest were Sublimation Kings. Such a force, if placed in Forty-Nine Immortal City, could definitely intimidate a region!

But this was just a small team of Star Sea Pirates, and this band couldn’t represent the full battle power of the Star Sea Pirates, which just goes to show how powerful the Star Sea Pirates really were, being qualified to stand toe-to-toe with Juexian City.

"Yo, these two beauties are so tender and full, look at those butts, so plump and round, they must feel amazing to touch!"

"And those tits are big too, definitely more than a handful!"

"Hey, there are horns on their heads; what race is this? It looks like I’ve never seen them before!"

"That little girl looks tender too!"

"All you think about is that perversion!"

The group of ten unscrupulously stared at the three women from the Red Dragon Empress’s party, their words utterly obscene. Although they were Sublimation Realm Experts, they lacked the demeanor that should be present in one.

A pirate is a pirate, after all. They were desperados, and why should they pretend to maintain a demeanor for anyone’s sake?

Mu Tongtong was small but had a big temper. She immediately waved her fists at the Star Sea Pirates, saying, "You bad guys, my people aren’t for you to scheme against!" Then, hiding behind Zhou Heng, she added, "Unreliable uncle, kill these bad guys for me!"

Zhou Heng grimaced. Why did this little girl call everyone else sister, yet insist on calling him uncle?

"Don’t waste words with them; let’s kill this kid first. After we’ve had our fun with these two beauties, we’ll take them back to the Brothel Camp. Such merchandise will surely please the leader, and maybe he’ll even pass down a High-Tier Immortal Technique to us!" said one of the Star Sea Pirates, immediately gathering nods of agreement from the other nine, all showing lewd expressions.

Zhou Heng sighed and said, "I didn’t want to complicate matters, but you’re asking for death by coming here! Fine then, it’s a good opportunity to ask about your purpose for being here!"
