Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 678 - 655: Blood Sacrifice (2/3)

These four individuals were definitely not of the Sunshine Realm, not even the Sublimation Realm, but... Supreme Experts of the Creation Realm!

Since their realms were being suppressed, these four would certainly not allow their true bodies to enter, these must be their Divine Aspects! However, for experts of the Creation Realm, there should be no difference between their Divine Aspects and their true bodies.

With their realms suppressed, their strength could only remain at the level of a Sunshine King, but their aura, different from their strength, was still powerful despite being suppressed, exerting tremendous pressure on low-tier Martial Artists.

Seeing these four individuals approaching, everyone else unfailingly stepped aside, a natural reverence emanating from low-tier Martial Artists towards the powerful.

After all, they couldn’t possibly stay here forever, angering a Big Shot of the Creation Realm, who could uproot your entire family lineage in retaliation—who wouldn’t be afraid?

The movements of these four under their feet were as smooth as drifting clouds and flowing water. They utterly disregarded the sycophantic or reverent expressions of others. They were too powerful, powerful enough to not care about others’ attitudes, ready to flatten anything displeasing in their path.

"This must be the Heart of Wood from the Blue Star Tree!" declared one Elder, his frame remarkably lean.

"To be precise, it’s only a part of it, the rest has been brutally stripped away!" chimed in a second Elder, a portly old man.

"But it still contains some of the Blue Star Tree’s essence from when it was alive, along with insights into the grand path of the Heavenly Dao!" added the third Elder, a burly figure with a monkey-like head covered in golden fur.

"At the very least, it’s of a Creation Emperor’s caliber, and it even touched upon the threshold of that realm!" the final Elder stated after a moment of closed-eye sensing; when his eyes reopened, it was as if two bolts of lightning had streaked through the void, frightening indeed!

"Legend has it that the Blue Star Tree, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, could condense Spiritual Sense and transform into a human form. It seems this is no falsehood!"

"The realm of the Blue Star Tree during its lifetime must have reached the pinnacle of a Creation Emperor, and its enlightenment should greatly aid us! Furthermore, the Blue Star Tree naturally possesses miraculous healing effects. One of a Creation Emperor’s level could definitely revive any Creation Emperor who has suffered a deadly wound!"

"The Blue Star Tree’s nature is cold; after its death, it transformed into this Ice Field. Such Ultra-Ability could only be formed by precious species of heaven and earth. After our transformation into the path, we would leave behind nothing but dry bones!"

"It is said that millions of years ago a great battle occurred here, claiming the lives of many beings of Creation Emperor stature. This Blue Star Tree must have been one of them. Who would have thought that after millions of years, it still retains some essence, truly incredibly powerful!"

The four Elders exchanged ideas but didn’t bother lowering their voices, apparently indifferent to others overhearing their conversation. In their eyes, everyone else was no more than ants, unworthy of attention.

The crowd listened with trembling hearts, realizing that this Ice Field had formed because of a "person"—to be exact, a plant spirit that, after billions of years of cultivation, ascended to the lofty status of a Creation Emperor!

The path of cultivation for plants is unfathomably more difficult than for humans or Demon Beasts, as they are not innately endowed with Spiritual Wisdom. Just this process alone could take them millions of years!

And while most plants over ten thousand years old could be medicinal, those living long enough to develop Spiritual Wisdom are one in a billion. Moreover, once they develop Spiritual Wisdom and begin to cultivate, they also lose their nearly inexhaustible lifespan, surviving only slightly longer than Martial Artists of the same Realm.

Because the conditions for their ascension are so arduous, these plant spirits are extraordinarily powerful once they succeed, possessing numerous Ultra-Abilities. For example, the Blue Star Tree naturally emits intense cold. Coupled with its Spiritual Power, it could easily eradicate an Expert of the same tier!

Even so, this enlightened Blue Star Tree still perished here, with even its most valuable Heart of Wood shattered, leaving only a fragment!

The crowd was filled with intense curiosity and greed, desperately wanting to know what kind of battle took place that even a lofty entity like the Blue Star Tree could fall!

They also yearned for this fragment of the Heart of Wood, which held not only miraculous healing effects but also the enlightenment of the Blue Star Tree’s ascension, its value utterly immeasurable!

In a sense, this treasure was even comparable to the Dragon Transformation Nine Slashes!

But with the four Supreme Experts of the Creation Realm right in front, who would dare to snatch it from their jaws?

They had indeed come in just their Divine Aspects, and their realms had been suppressed to that of a Sunshine King. Perhaps enough for one who might ascend to the Creation Realm during their time as a Sunshine King to be extraordinary, even if they couldn’t breach the barrier of realms, they would at least be an Expert of Eleven Wheels!

Moreover, they could still slightly harness the aura of the Creation Realm, which, combined with their current state, was enough for them to unleash the Battle Power of an Eleven Wheels Sun!

This was a qualitative leap!

Unless a young Supreme like One Sword Breaks the Heavens could break through to become an Eleven Wheels Sunshine King and achieve the true Supreme status, who else could stand against the Divine Aspects of several Creation Realm Experts?

"Haha, since the three old friends have no intention of making a move, then allow me to do the honors!" The portly Supreme Expert of the Creation Realm stepped forward, approaching the Ice Blade Wall, eyes slightly closed.

Zhou Heng’s brow furrowed slightly. This Supreme Expert of the Creation Realm had definitely not reached the height of a Creation Emperor, because he did not feel as formidable as Dongguo Heng; he could be a Creation King, or possibly a Creation Sovereign.

But who cared who he was? Once you entered here, you had to be subject to the rules of this place, and your realm would fall to that of a Sunshine King. How could you possibly deal with this Ice Blade Wall? But on the other hand, would a Supreme Expert of the Creation Realm speak nonsense?

In Zhou Heng’s confusion, the portly Supreme Expert suddenly surged with a terrifyingly boundless aura. The power he emanated was so sharp that even a brief sensing made one feel as if their skin was being sliced with knives!

Power of the Creation Realm level!

How is that possible!

Isn’t this place supposed to be suppressing realms? Why can he unleash such tremendous power?

As soon as the portly Supreme Expert condensed his power, he immediately slammed into the Ice Blades. Bang, bang, bang! Indeed, these Ice Blades were sharply cold, but they stood no chance against the power of a Supreme Expert of the Creation Realm and shattered one after another!

After all, the Blue Star Tree had been dead for who knows how many years!

Amidst a shower of ice shards, the Ice Blade Wall suddenly shattered, and the last barrier vanished!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

Just then, the limbs of that short and plump Creation Realm expert suddenly exploded in unison, and as his facial expression abruptly changed, his head also burst into pieces, instantly transforming into a spray of blood that splattered in all directions.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Those across whom the blood swept found their bodies peppered with gaping holes, letting out continuous screams of agony! However, a few droplets of blood splattered onto the Heart of Wood, causing no damage whatsoever.

The abrupt change left everyone incapable of reacting!

Zhou Heng’s gaze sharpened, and he felt he understood somewhat.

The Creation Realm was too powerful, powerful enough to temporarily break the suppression of this place’s realm because the short and plump Creation Realm expert had destroyed the Ice Blade Wall. However, Yuwen Sword was even stronger, so strong that if you attempted to break the limit, you paid with your life!

And thus, a Creation Realm expert was eradicated just like that!

Luckily, what had entered this place was only one of the short and plump Creation Realm expert’s Divine Aspects; otherwise, he would have been utterly destroyed, body and spirit! But even now, it would cost him dearly, losing a Divine Aspect was a pain beyond bearing!

The remaining three Creation Realm experts looked at each other, all revealing expressions of fear, because if any of them made a move earlier on, they, too, wouldn’t have escaped erasure from existence!

Being forced to suppress their realms and enter here meant that their strength was inferior to Yuwen Sword’s, and they had to abide by his restrictions; thus, in this special place, the methods laid down by Yuwen Sword would easily erase them as if crushing an ant!

Luckily, the Ice Blade was gone, and now all they had to do was to pick up the treasure!

The Golden-Faced Creation Realm expert was the first to step forward, followed by the other two Creation Realm experts who also moved. They walked toward the Heart of Wood, but when they reached a distance of ten feet, their steps halted at the same time.

"How is this possible!" the thin Elder’s complexion changed again, "How can the Heart of Wood still possess such tremendous pressure after so many years!"

"We must operate our strongest Spiritual Power to counter and pick it up, but doing so would mean our Divine Aspects would turn into a bloody rain!"

"Wait, this pressure seems to be weakening!"

The three great Creation Realm experts all showed focused expressions, carefully sensing. After a while, they said in unison, "Blood Sacrifice!" Their previously furrowed brows suddenly relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

They beckoned with their hands, and the exploded flesh and blood of the short and plump Creation Realm expert they had gathered up were all directed toward the Heart of Wood.

Hum!

The Heart of Wood absorbed the blood like a sponge, emitting a faint blue glow, dazzling, but as the fresh blood disappeared, the radiance dimmed, no longer as bright as before.

"It’s not enough!"

"Then we will sacrifice until it’s sufficient!"

"Hmm!"

The three great Creation Realm experts coldly spoke, and suddenly they split up and launched attacks on the people in the cave!

They were too powerful, their true battle power definitely reached that of the Eleven Wheels Sunshine King, capturing with a single grasp without allowing any resistance, each one immobilized at a critical spot, then violently thrown towards the Heart of Wood.

With a squelch, those thrown towards the Heart of Wood exploded as they reached above it, turning into a shower of blood that fell down upon the Heart of Wood.

It was then that everyone understood what Blood Sacrifice meant!

Turns out, they were all sacrifices!

They were filled with boundless rage, but faced with the three Creation Realm experts, they dared only to be angry without expressing it, lacking even the courage to fight, they each fled!

——Even if they could defeat these three Creation Realm experts now, once the latter returned in their true bodies, they could uproot the families of everyone present, ensuring nobody would utter a word!

To flee! There was only fleeing!

This was a disgraceful tale they dared not speak of, invoking retaliation from the Creation Realm experts, and the Creation Realm experts wouldn’t bother settling scores with them over such pettiness!

"Do you think you can escape?" The three Creation Sovereigns moved as fast as lightning, they all mastered highly mysterious movement techniques, and coupled with their absolute dominance in terms of battle power, no one was their match for even a moment, and nobody could escape, each one in turn thrown out for Blood Sacrifice!

"Your turn, boy!" the Golden-Faced expert reached out toward Zhou Heng and the other two, supposedly only possessing the power of a Ten Wheels Sunshine King, but with the aid of his momentum and Immortal Techniques, he absolutely broke through the barrier of realms!
