Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 801 - 778 My Name is Hongyue (2/3)

How should I answer this question?

Even though this is the first time we met, you are my wife’s enemy, so I have to kill you?

Zhou Heng sighed, the disparity in power between them was too great; he had no qualification to fight in front of the opponent! He lifted his head without responding, but his mind was racing, trying to figure out how to escape from such a disadvantageous position.

However, the rune on his forehead had been lost, and now his strongest weapons were the Black Sword and the Fire Divine Furnace. The Black Sword had already been seized by the opponent, and the Fire Divine Furnace... it was just playing dead!

"My name is Hongyue, the ruler of the Blood Moon and the inheritor of the Tai Xu lineage! Mortal, why do you possess the holy relic of my lineage?" The woman, who was as dazzling as Huo Tian, spoke loudly, with an endless might circulating around her.

Tai Xu lineage? Holy relic? Black Sword?

Wait a minute!

Zhou Heng was suddenly startled; Huo Tian had mentioned that the Black Sword was her master’s life-bound holy artifact, and it would only seek a new master after her master had fallen! Zhou Heng had also "seen" a scene on the Fairy Continent: a shockwave from a Sword Qi by the Black Sword’s original owner shattered a piece of the Fairy Continent.

That must have been a supreme expert of the Bright Realm!

But how had the Black Sword become a holy relic of the Tai Xu lineage as this woman Hongyue claimed?

A good woman does not marry two men, nor does a spirited horse bear two saddles; how could this be possible?

Actually, yes, it is possible!

——Huo Tian and Hongyue originate from the same lineage!

Damn, could it be that Huo Tian and Hongyue were fellow disciples, both students of the original owner of the Black Sword?

But why was Huo Tian so resentful towards Hongyue, without a trace of camaraderie between them?

Zhou Heng looked at the opponent and said, "This sword is mine, what has it to do with you?"

"Yours?" Hongyue pondered, her figure slowly descended, with her infinitely beautiful jade feet bare, and as soon as she touched down lightly, a blood moon formed beneath her feet, an overwhelming majesty sweeping across the entire mountain peak. "Indeed, you have gained the recognition of the Taixu Sword, but how could the holy relic of my lineage fall into your hands?"

"I can simply look through your memory!"

She extended a hand to summon him, and Zhou Heng felt his body instantly lighten, suspended in the air with his limbs spread apart, utterly powerless to resist.

——This woman was not only a big shot of the Bright Realm, but also an entity holding supreme Laws, comparable to Huo Tian!

"No!" Zhou Heng tightly guarded his Divine Sense; he did not want the opponent to know of Huo Tian’s existence, because if she were as resentful towards Huo Tian as Huo Tian was towards her, then she would certainly seek trouble for Huo Tian.

Both women had yet to recover their full power, but Law against Law, power against power, those hidden in the shadows to launch a sneak attack would obviously have the advantage! At their level, even the slightest difference in strength could determine the final outcome.

He could not resist because the gap in strength between them was truly tremendous.

An irresistible Divine Sense entered his Sea of Consciousness, transforming into Hongyue’s form. She casually touched and sensed all of Zhou Heng’s life’s memories. In front of her, Zhou Heng’s resistance was like boiling water being poured on snow, having no effect whatsoever.

She appeared to be an ancient god, suffused with an aura both ancient and grandiose, and as she took a step, a blood moon rotated beneath her feet.

This was clearly another Heavenly Scripture, but at a level surpassing the Five Elements Heavenly Scripture multiple times over. Zhou Heng could sense the Artifact Spirit of the Five Elements Heavenly Scripture shivering, as if even if Hongyue wanted to fuse it, there would be no resistance!

The Fire Divine Furnace fared no better, retracting its consciousness, feigning death, not daring to emit a single ripple.

Zhou Heng felt as if he were entirely naked, absolutely exposed before the opponent, without a single secret to hide.

He chose to forget, extracting all memories concerning Huo Tian, compressing them into a corner of his mind, concealed by the Sword Intent of the Black Sword. This was the only action he could take.

——He truly couldn’t withstand Hongyue, but since the Black Sword was a holy relic of the Tai Xu lineage, surely it could shield part of his memories!

Hongyue’s Divine Sense swept through; no matter how exquisite she was, her alien Divine Sense felt cold as frost to Zhou Heng’s Sea of Consciousness, causing his teeth to chatter, steadfastly defending his last piece of pure land.

He didn’t know how much time had passed; Zhou Heng only felt a wave of relief wash over him as Hongyue’s Divine Sense withdrew from his Sea of Consciousness.

Bam!

Zhou Heng crashed heavily to the ground, a wave of pain surged through him, feeling as though his entire body had fallen to pieces. Considering that he had just been contemplating killing someone, there was no room for complaint about being abused while captured. He bit back a groan.

"I see!" Hongyue looked up at the sky, "I can no longer remember too much, but it seems the years have passed like the ever-changing tides, countless ages have gone by! You belong to the Tai Xu lineage, and since you have been recognized by the Taixu Sword, I will forgive you this once, for you are still ignorant of my identity!"

Excellent, she hadn’t discovered anything about Huo Tian!

First, be deceitful with her; you absolutely cannot let her meet with Huo Tian! Zhou Heng wasn’t sure about the two women’s mastery of the Laws, but he could sense Hongyue’s Cultivation Realm—Creation King!

If both women were equally adept in the Laws, then certainly the advantage would go to the one with the higher Cultivation Realm.

Zhou Heng thought for a moment and asked, "How did you end up here? What is this world truly like?"

"Years ago, I was gravely injured, fell from the Bright Realm into the Immortal Realm, and have been recuperating on this broken continent—"

"Wait, a broken continent? When did you enter the Immortal Realm?"

"Around sixty thousand years ago!"

"That’s impossible!" Zhou Heng frowned. This doesn’t make sense. "The legends about you existed hundreds or even millions of years ago in this world. How could it only be sixty thousand years?"

"This world... was created by me, and the flow of time here is different from the outside world!" Hongyue calmly said, as if Zhou Heng was not an outsider to her at all. "I opened up this world, created its beings, and used the power of their faith to heal my wounds!"

No wonder there are statues of her everywhere!

No wonder this world is much larger than the broken continent outside, because it’s fundamentally a creation by Hongyue, a space similar to a Dantian Space!

Recently, the sudden eruption of pillar of blood-red light manifested because she has restored to the Creation King level and is not far from breaking through to the Stellar Realm. Perhaps it conflicted with the inherent laws of this heaven and earth, or resonated with it, or some other reason; in short, it created a reaction!

Zhou Heng had clarified some things, yet there were many more he couldn’t figure out.

If Huo Tian and Hongyue got hurt in that battle a million years ago, how could members of the same Tai Xu lineage become enemies? Moreover, the timeline doesn’t match. Hongyue said she entered the Immortal Realm sixty thousand years ago, which is thirty thousand years off from the time of the Immortal Realm’s great collapse!

Now, Zhou Heng finally knew who Huo Tian’s adversary was, yet he became even more puzzled.

Nevertheless, at this level, these Martial Artists are incredibly powerful, able to create beings; they’re practically gods!

"This entire world, including the beings within it, were created by you?" Despite being adversaries, Zhou Heng was still amazed by Hongyue’s ability to create life... This was beyond his imagination.

"I possess the Seed of Life, thus can create life!" Hongyue responded.

"Seed of Life?"

"The Seed of Life, it’s an extremely precious resource, even in the Bright Realm, it’s only in possession of a limited number of individuals!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng sighed in relief. Creating life was too hard for him to accept; this surpassed mere strength, constituting true divinity, transcending power.

"So can we... leave here now?" Zhou Heng asked, feeling he really didn’t want to stay in this place any longer.

"Even though I haven’t fully recovered yet, now that I’ve awakened, naturally, I can’t fall asleep again!" Hongyue extended her right hand, her arm gleaming white as frost, flawless. Yet a Blood Moon emanated from her palm, expanding in all directions.

"By the name of Hongyue, reclaim Life Fire!"

Boom!

The Blood Moon radiated from the mountaintop, first sweeping over the Demon Beasts of the Creation Emperor class. These Demon Beasts, though extremely powerful, had no resistance under the Blood Moon’s radiance, all turned to ashes, their Life Essence Qi consumed by the Blood Moon.

Continuing with the Demon Beasts of the Creation Sovereign, then those of the Creation King, afterward, the Blood Moon swept across the entire Immortal Domain, traversed the Great Trench, expanded over the entire Holy Land Continent, reclaiming the life of all beings.

Hongyue created this world; within it, she possessed supreme power and was the creator of laws.

If she said there was a sun in the sky, then there was a sun; if she said there was a moon at night, then there was a moon. If she wanted a mountain, a mountain would rise; if she wanted a river, a river would flow.

Such is a true Expert!

Despite being on the opposing side, Zhou Heng felt intense admiration. Human strength has limits, but mastering Heaven and Earth Laws allows one to influence the entire world with a single thought.

What kind of sense of achievement is this?

"Holy! My scalp is tingling!" The Fire Divine Furnace trembled within Zhou Heng’s Dantian Space. Since this master also belonged to the Tai Xu lineage, she was essentially "one of us," allowing it to relax a bit.

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes and communicated via Divine Sense, "Do you even have a scalp?"

"Screw you, just let me express myself! Who cares if I have a scalp or not!" The Fire Divine Furnace retorted irritably.

"Compared to Huo Tian, who is stronger?" Zhou Heng asked concernedly.

"How should I know!" The Fire Divine Furnace would definitely roll its eyes if it had a face. "Both she and the Great Witch are far beyond the limits of what I understand; all I know is they can shatter me with a single thought!"

"What use does boasting have without strength!" Zhou Heng snapped back at the Fire Divine Furnace.

"Go!" Hongyue reclaimed the Life Fire — actually the Essence of Life of all within this world, reached out to Zhou Heng in the void, swoosh, both their forms soared; a blood-red radiance surged from Hongyue’s body, and an immediate blood-red light barrier appeared above them.

Buzz, as they passed through the light barrier, the scenery before them underwent a revolutionary change.

——They had returned to the broken continent, above was the pitch-black infinite Starry Sky.

"Someone came out!"

"What, someone actually passed through that portal? Quickly, capture them!"

A group immediately surrounded them, precisely the Star Sea thieves residing on this continent. (To be continued.
