Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 810 - 787 Kirin Bone (2/3)
Chapter 810: Chapter 787 Kirin Bone (2/3)
The Red Dragon Empress erupted, advancing fiercely amidst the swirling flames, like a ferocious female leopard. The other side launched a direct surprise attack without a word, nearly capsizing their boat and endangering them, ultimately triggering her wrath.
When the Dragon Sovereign unleashes power, it’s extraordinary!
The three small boats hurriedly broke through the ice, as fighting here was disadvantageous to everyone! Their sudden surprise attack was actually a probing attempt, hoping to eliminate a competitor, but if they couldn’t, they weren’t interested in a prolonged fight, as the timing wasn’t right!
The Blue Dragon Empress was steering the boats and responsible for defense, while the Red Dragon Empress was opening and closing her palms, launching attacks continuously, showcasing a highly coordinated partnership between the two.
The three boats in front, however, had no intention of lingering in battle, aiming for escape as they cleaved through the water, creating huge waves to slow the lone boat Zhou Heng was on.
They weren’t far from the island initially, and soon reached the shore and landed with the full speed they could muster.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, people from the three small boats leaped out one by one, totaling ten, six of whom were at the Creation Realm, and the other four were at the Sublimation Sovereign or Sublimation Emperor level. They looked relatively young, seeming to have been brought along to gain experience.
—In fact, celestial pirates also have wealthy families, some of which have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and they may not be any less than the wealthy families of Juexian City!
In fact, because there are more resources in the vast Starry Sky, these great families may even have stronger foundations!
For example, in Juexian City, the outstanding figures of the younger generation are only Bing Xinzhu, Gongyang Taisun, and the like, all just Sublimation Kings. Yet, Zhou Heng already saw several young people with Sublimation Emperor cultivation levels.
Of course, what’s considered young is relative! At the Sublimation level, under five thousand years old can be considered young, but a two-thousand-year-old Sublimation King absolutely doesn’t have less potential for growth compared to a twenty-thousand-year-old Sublimation Sovereign or even Sublimation Emperor!
In terms of talent, Bing Xinzhu and Gongyang Taisun are absolutely not inferior to those four young people, but they benefit from being born thousands of years earlier, appearing much stronger.
This group had no intention of fighting the Red Dragon Empress, immediately storing their small boats into space artifacts, then grabbing a few Sublimation Realm juniors and swiftly departing using movement techniques.
"Don’t chase them!" Zhou Heng said, there’s no point in pursuing them now; the other side never intended for a life-or-death battle, so what’s the point of chasing and escaping? But what is their purpose here?
Seven Star Fruit!
As long as we go to the place of the Seven Star Fruit, aren’t we bound to encounter them again?
Even though there’s a super powerful presence in the Immortal Residence, Zhou Heng doesn’t want Hongyue to step forward! For one, he doesn’t want to rely on others’ power, and for another, Hongyue is Huo Tian’s deadly opponent, how could he play both sides?
—If Hongyue treated him harshly, he wouldn’t mind using her strength; after all, she’s an enemy, so why not make use of her? But Hongyue considers him a fellow disciple of the Tai Xu lineage, which embarrasses him!
A true man knows what to do and what not to do; using someone’s kindness for treacherous deeds is something Zhou Heng would never do!
"You can run, but your temple can’t! We will meet them again!"
Upon hearing Zhou Heng, both Dragon Sovereigns nodded. They weren’t unaware, just too angry to think it through.
The key to this journey is the Seven Star Fruit!
In fact, even without encountering those people again, as long as they obtain the Seven Star Fruit and those people find out, they would be furious!
"This island is something special, I must say, reeks of murderous intent!" the Black Donkey said pretentiously.
"Therefore, a blood sacrifice is necessary!" Zhou Heng stared at the Black Donkey’s head, "When battling in the Mortal Realm, they first kill a few pigs to raise the flag. There’s no pig here, but there’s a donkey barely distinguishable from one, anyway, it has four legs, it’s makeshift but counts!"
"This is the Immortal Realm, that’s not customary!" The Black Donkey quickly said.
"Who says so?" The Red Dragon Empress interjected, "When the Dragon Clan sets out, we also sacrifice living beings, a Sunshine Emperor Demon Beast... barely sufficient!"
The Black Donkey bristled immediately, forcing a smile, "Why do you folks love to talk so much, scaring the wits out of people, making my heart flutter like crazy, really—bad— to—death!"
As it spoke the last three words, it was indeed so stirring that Zhou Heng and the others had their hair standing on end.
"Enough, stop disgusting people!"
The three and the donkey were in no rush to enter the island’s center, choosing to circle the small island first to scout the surroundings.
The island really wasn’t big, triangular in shape, the longest part barely a hundred miles and thirty miles wide. The island wasn’t shrouded in toxic mist, but the clear space was only about ten feet above the island. Above that height, a toxic fog covered the area like a hat.
Despite being in a swamp filled with toxins, the island wasn’t devoid of life; countless vines grew clinging tightly to the ground, unlike when they first arrived on the continent, where the vines seemed to soar into the Starry Sky.
Due to the toxic mist at ten feet high, they couldn’t grow any taller.
After a round of exploration, they began to proceed into the island.
This island is not large, but the terrain is extremely complex. Steep stone pillars protrude unexpectedly, incredibly hard and sharp. Those at the level of a Creation Emperor can simply ignore them, but martial artists below that level have to take detours.
As a result, their progress wasn’t fast, only slightly faster than normal walking pace.
They were not in a hurry, as obviously many forces had already arrived. Yet no battle had broken out, indicating everyone was still observing, and also implied that the Seven Star Fruit had not yet matured, so all parties were still waiting.
Given this, Zhou Heng and his group naturally were not in a rush.
"Wait!" After walking some distance, the Blue Dragon Empress suddenly stopped, showing a focused expression.
"What is it?" Zhou Heng asked.
The Blue Dragon Empress didn’t answer but instead walked towards a protruding boulder. With a sudden slap of her palm, boom, the rubble flew, forming a wave of dust rising towards the sky.
Her power was terrifying. With that one palm, the entire stone shattered and, under the force of the wind, was whisked away, as if the boulder had disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Heng’s eyes narrowed, for he saw something that had remained from the stone - a bone resembling a thigh bone, about half a meter long and as thick as a human leg. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Indeed, it was a bone, crystalline with an indescribable beauty, but definitely not of human origin, because a human couldn’t grow that large, though if enlarged to human size, it would be possible.
"This is... a Kirin Bone!" the Red Dragon Empress suddenly said. She had been looking indulgently disinterested but now her expression turned serious.
"A Kirin?" Zhou Heng was slightly surprised. Although he had never seen a Kirin, wasn’t it also a Divine Beast in legends?
"Kirin also has Dragon Clan bloodline. Legend has it that it’s the seventh son of the Ancestral Dragon Lord and the Green Bull King!" the Blue Dragon Empress interjected, holding the bone in her hand. "This is indeed a Kirin Bone, though its bloodline isn’t particularly pure!"
"Naturally, how could a Divine Beast appearing in the Immortal Realm have a pure bloodline unless it’s like the Dragon Emperor—" the Red Dragon Empress began but stopped, casting a suspicious glance at Zhou Heng and said no more.
"Hey hey hey, what’s that look for?" Zhou Heng found her gaze inexplicable.
The two Dragon Empresses tacitly said nothing, focusing instead on studying the Kirin Bone.
"Very strange, it seems the divine essence inside is completely depleted. If it weren’t for a trace of Dragon Clan bloodline, I wouldn’t have sensed it at all!" the Blue Dragon Empress said to the Red Dragon Empress.
"Indeed, it’s as if the Kirin Bone has been refined!"
"But from the outside, there is no sign of refinement!"
"Bizarre!"
The two Dragon Empresses conversed as if no one else was present, making Zhou Heng furious. He pulled the Blue Dragon Empress over and gave her upturned buttocks a heavy slap, eliciting a coquettish huff.
"Brother-in-law, would you like to smack me too?" The Red Dragon Empress gave Zhou Heng a flirtatious smile, arching her similarly full and round buttocks, seemingly inviting Zhou Heng to whip her.
Zhou Heng retreated, dreading this female rascal!
"Why is there a Kirin Bone here?" he asked.
"You ask me, whom should I ask?" the Red Dragon Empress spread her hands.
Zhou Heng was gnashing his teeth in frustration. Did this Dragon Clan Empress need disciplining too? He figured the debt wouldn’t increase if he messed with one more Dragon Empress, who was afraid of whom!
But the Blue Dragon Empress was considerate, balancing her actual man and sworn second sister. She didn’t want the two to clash, or to have any ridiculous incidents. She said, "With Chi Wei here, it doesn’t seem surprising for a Kirin to appear!"
Including the two of them, along with the Earth Dragon outside, at least four types of Divine Beast bloodlines were here, all of high-tier Divine Beast descendants.
Kirin Bone, under normal circumstances, would be an incredible tonic, greatly enhancing one’s physique if boiled into a broth. But the divine essence in this Kirin Bone was completely depleted, leaving it only hard and with no other use.
The three people and one donkey continued on their journey. Zhou Heng said, "Speaking of which, isn’t the Dragon Clan supposed to be super powerful in the Bright Realm? Why did you come to the Immortal Realm?"
The two Dragon Empresses exchanged glances but kept tactfully silent.
Zhou Heng was indignant, placing a big hand on the Blue Dragon Empress’s upturned buttocks, smiling, "You better not push me!"
"Let go of my fourth sister, if you have the guts, come after me!" The Red Dragon Empress called out loyally.
Pfft!
Zhou Heng almost choked. This Red Dragon Empress was truly fierce. Luckily, she was naturally lazy; otherwise, what man could handle her! He also knew that was the Red Dragon Empress’s way to distract him deliberately. Turning his mind, he suddenly exclaimed, "Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Crystal!" (To be continued.
