Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 217 - 210 Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch (1/3)

Chapter 217: Chapter 210 Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch (1/3)

Han Yiyao couldn’t help twitching her pretty face. Zhou Heng was truly audacious, daring to shout at the Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch like that! One must know that this master was once of the Spiritual Sea Realm cultivation level, and although he now claimed to be dead, he hardly seemed like someone truly deceased!

If this phantom were a piece of Divine Sense left by him before his passing, manifested through a formation, then how could it possess such spiritual wisdom and speak so murderously about silencing them!

Fearless are the ignorant!

"Hahaha, the young lad is indeed impolite! But this lord has not conversed with anyone for many years, and I won’t stoop to your level; after all, the two of you will soon die!" Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch didn’t take offense, instead laughing heartily.

He paused for a moment and finally turned to the main topic, saying, "Over eight hundred years ago, just after I had broken into the Spiritual Sea Realm, I stumbled into an ancient relic and found a peerless Demon Sword that was suppressed!"

"It took me a great deal of effort to unearth this Demon Sword. After slaughtering innumerably, I finally discovered the miraculous aspects of this Demon Sword!"

"Thus, I made all the preparations, abandoned my body, and fused my Divine Sense with the Demon Sword!"

"With just a thousand years, I will become the soul of the Demon Sword! From then on, immortal and indestructible, thriving on blood to strengthen myself! By that time, everyone under the heavens must heed my command, even those from the Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Infant Realm would fall by my sword in a single strike!"

"Hahaha, even the Divinity Transformation Realm would not be a match for me!"

"Instead of pursuing the illusory path to becoming an Immortal, this alternative path to eternal life I’ve taken is more realistic and also allows me to dominate the world. Anyone who defies me will be slain!"

The more Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch spoke, the more excited he became, his face seeming to glow as if he were already ruling over the world, his mere word a command that all would follow.

So that’s how it was!

Han Yiyao thought to herself, back in the day, Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch was incredibly powerful, heralded as a rare genius in a millennium, with prospects of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm to become a Half-Step Immortal, yet unexpectedly, like a shooting star, he vanished in the prime of his life at around two hundred years old.

His disappearance caused quite an uproar back then. Some speculated that he had found true love and retired, while others said he met danger in his exploration of the relic and perished, and still others asserted they personally witnessed his being slain by a Nascent Soul Realm expert, for he had offended such a significant figure.

But no one imagined that Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch had chosen such an unorthodox path of cultivation!

"You madman!" Han Yiyao couldn’t help but reprimand.

"To forsake being a human to become a sword, you truly degrade yourself!" Zhou Heng was much harsher; after all, he was trained alongside a mule.

"Ignorant juniors!" Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch didn’t get angry but instead displayed a look of disdain, "The universe is vast beyond your imaginations! Humankind is the weakest intelligent species, so what does it matter if I abandon this body?"

"The Great Dao is formless, yet you cling to forms, settling for the inferior paths!"

"Once I devour the world with blood, one day, I’ll slash through the heavens and transform the ordinary into an immortal. By then, I can change into any form I desire. Why bother about minor changes on the path of cultivation?"

People like him would immediately choose to fully transform into the Gold Devouring Clan without a second thought upon obtaining their essence blood, having no attachment to their human bodies!

To Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch, power meant everything!

And moreover, this also involved eternal life and becoming immortal. Given such temptations, surely many others in this world would make the same choice to forsake human form for eternal life and power, willingly becoming a mountain, a snake, or a crocodile!

Abandoning their very humanity, forgetting their origins, they could even forsake their own parents and forget who they were!

Zhou Heng had nothing but disdain for such people.

"Sigh, I really don’t want to kill you immediately. It’s been so many years, and only you two have come. I even thought the preparations I made were wasted!" Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch revealed a look of regret.

If his words were true, then it would be another two hundred years before he could reappear in the human world. However, by then, he wouldn’t be human anymore but a sword, like a peerless magical instrument commanding the world!

"How do you plan to kill us, with your endless chatter?" Zhou Heng laughed heartily; he had the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, hence he was entirely confident.

"No no no!" Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch seemed to have an extremely good temper, not getting angry but instead started explaining to Zhou Heng and Han Yiyao, "This stone chamber was crafted with ten years of effort from me. Initially, it drained all my savings, and I even stole and offended many people!"

"It cost a lot, but since I’m fused with the Demon Sword, I absolutely cannot be disturbed for a thousand years, so naturally, I had to pay a big price. Moreover, those were just external possessions, what’s the point of keeping them?"

"This stone chamber was personally crafted by me. Without several months, it would be unimaginable to break through it!"

"Let’s not discuss whether you have the capability; even if you do, you won’t have enough time!"

"This place isolates the air; haha, unless you become immortals, no matter how powerful a martial artist you are, you still need to breathe, and soon, the air here will be depleted, and you will die from suffocation!"

"However, this method isn’t specifically intended for you; I have an even better way!"

"Love knot, go!"

Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch suddenly formed hands seals and whoosh, two beams of faint light shot out towards Zhou Heng and Han Yiyao.

No one expected him to make a move!

Even Zhou Heng was sure that what was in front of him was just a phantom. Since it was a phantom, how could it possibly launch an attack! And the attacks of an expert from the Spiritual Sea Realm were formidable; unless Zhou Heng continuously maintained the high-speed state of the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, it was impossible to dodge an attack from a being close to a Half-Step Immortal!

Whoosh whoosh, the two beams of faint light simultaneously entered the bodies of Zhou Heng and Han Yiyao. However, no tragedy like exploding bodies occurred; the two seemed unaffected, as if those two beams of light were just ordinary light.

"Alas, if it were the old days, I would have drawn my sword and slain at will without much talk, but now I always feel like saying a few words!" Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch sighed softly and shook his head, seemingly helpless about his own change.

"I no longer have a physical body, just Divine Sense, and can’t perform direct attacks!"

"However, this love knot was a secret technique that I acquired along with the Demon Sword, very interesting indeed, haha. The two people affected by the love knot can never be more than a hundred paces apart, or else they start with excruciating heart pain followed by their hearts bursting violently, dying a gruesome death on the spot!"

"Moreover, whichever person dies first, the other will sense it and also die from their heart exploding!"

"In my opinion, the person who thought up this secret technique must have been a woman!"

Love knot!

The name sounds so affectionate, yet its effect is chilling to the bone!

Zhou Heng and Han Yiyao didn’t think this ’Sword Person’ was bluffing them; there was simply no need for that. Yet, how could this alone kill them, since the two weren’t opposing magnets, repelling each other to maintain such a distance!

"All it takes is a thought from me, and those two doors in front and behind will emit a unique force, drawing you in! One door attracts the person marked with the Yin knot of the love knot, and the other attracts the person marked with the Yang knot!"

"Let me calculate, haha, the distance between these two doors is roughly more than two hundred paces. You’ll be helplessly drawn towards them, experiencing the agony of heart-wrenching pain, and eventually dying from your hearts exploding!"

"Although I’d like you to keep me company a while longer, safety comes first, and now that you know everything, even if you become ghosts, it won’t be unjust!"

"Let it begin!"

Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch clapped his hands, and suddenly, a strange attracting force acted upon Zhou Heng and Han Yiyao.

"Ah—" Han Yiyao let out a cry of alarm. Even with her Mountains and Rivers Realm cultivation level, she couldn’t resist such fierce force and was forcefully pulled towards that deeper stone door!

No one wants to die, especially not in such a pointless way!

Han Yiyao cried out sharply, and two beams of light wings unfolded behind her, fluttering and struggling against this drawing force!

If the distance between her and Zhou Heng exceeded a hundred paces, both would die!

Whether Zhou Heng lived or died, she really didn’t care—him dying was for the best! But she absolutely did not want to die alongside Zhou Heng; that would be a contamination, and she would die with resentment!

Despite her full effort, she was gradually pulled toward the stone door!

If even she, a Mountains and Rivers Realm expert, couldn’t resist it, then what about Zhou Heng, who had only reached the Heaven-Opening Realm?

It’s over!

Han Yiyao wore an expression of despair, it seemed she was doomed to die!

If she hadn’t come here, she would be counting her days waiting for death! Venturing here was supposed to be a chance for survival, but unexpectedly, it was stepping into the secret dwelling of a Spiritual Sea Realm expert, effectively a death sentence by her own doing!

Since fate decrees it so, so be it!

Han Yiyao felt cold and disheartened, perhaps, death was the true release.

She looked up at Zhou Heng, expecting that rougue should have been pulled to the other end by now. The only good news was that she wouldn’t have to die with that jerk. Otherwise, if someone found their remains later and thought the two were lovers, what then?

What?

When she saw Zhou Heng, Han Yiyao was momentarily stunned!

Impossible!

The guy was still standing right where he was!

"How is this possible!" Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch exclaimed, his face as shocked as if he had seen a ghost.

With his Spirit Sea Realm composure and cultivation level, he shouldn’t have revealed such emotions, but living reclusively for over eight hundred years without needing to restrain his feelings, he behaved almost like any ordinary person.

This was indeed impossible!

Zhou Heng was only at the Heaven-Opening Realm, his power far less than Han Yiyao’s, so how could he resist such great force?

If he could resist, he should at least show some hysterically strained effort! But looking at Zhou Heng’s calm demeanor, it seemed he might as well pull out a chair, sit down, and enjoy a cup of famous tea.

Can you not be like this!

Zhou Heng slightly smiled, lifting his right foot, and under the watchful eyes of both Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch and Han Yiyao, he took a step forward.

In Han Yiyao’s direction!

Pfft!

Blood Sword Heavenly Monarch spat out his tongue in surprise!(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at start point (qidian.com), and recommend the monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com).
