Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword Chapter 945 - 921: Searching for the Blood Spirit Fruit (3/3

Zhou Heng walked into the vortex entrance, and a strange force imdiately pulled him along. It wasn’t pushing him faster, nor was it pulling him back. Instead, it was chaotic, pulling him up one mont and down the next, sotis to the left, other tis to the right.

It truly was a distorted force!

Zhou Heng staggered like a drunk, swaying as he walked. If he weren’t holding the Black Donkey and carrying Little Fire, even if they started together, they would soon be far apart.

No wonder that when people appear on the ancient battlefield, they are scattered across an area of a hundred miles wide. This force is truly twisted and bizarre!

Guarding the entrance to ambush would definitely be twice the result with half the effort. This twisted passage could weaken the Demon Beasts’ strength by at least half! Otherwise, after so many years, there would inevitably be a few who could break through, but now, none have.

This passage was long. Zhou Heng stumbled and staggered for at least an hour before a bright spot appeared ahead. As he continued, the bright spot also continued to enlarge, becoming a hole, an opening, an exit.

The exit was astonishingly large, at least a hundred miles wide!

Upon exiting the passage, Zhou Heng surveyed the area, seeing nurous people heading in one direction, while so flew out alone—so were in teams, while others preferred to operate solo.

"Zhou, we should get moving!" urged the Black Donkey, knowing both Xin Shan and Dongfang Wenlong were major headaches. Although their group’s strength had greatly increased, there was still a considerable gap from a high-tier Star Emperor!

If the academy’s bigwigs hadn’t intervened in Zhou Heng’s previous battle with Xin Shan, Zhou Heng would have undoubtedly suffered a miserable defeat, no doubt about it!

When a Star Emperor forms Three Thousand Stars, they qualify to challenge the Milky Way Realm—whether they succeed is another matter. Therefore, Star Emperors with more than Three Thousand Stars can be called high-tier Star Emperors, with power incomparable to those below Three Thousand Stars.

This is sowhat similar to the Creation Realm, where a Seven Aspects Creation Emperor and an Eight Aspects Creation Emperor differ. Although only one Divine Aspect apart, the Eight Aspects Creation Emperor breaks the limit and leaps to a new level of battle power!

High-tier Star Emperors are like this. However, Xin Shan clearly hadn’t learned how to use this advantage, being caught out despite his Four Thousand Stars power by Zhou Heng and Little Fire’s cooperation.

Of course, even if he had mastered this ability, he couldn’t kill Zhou Heng—academy executives would naturally prevent that.

Zhou Heng nodded. More and more people were entering here, and he had already noticed many malicious eyes fixed on him. With his current power of Thirty-Three Stars, he was insufficient to contend.

One person, one donkey, one dog quickly left, without worrying about direction. This was an end of the ancient battlefield; just moving forward was enough.

As a matter of fact, Zhou Heng was the Star Sovereign. After deploying their movent technique, the trio sped away at blistering speed, soon leaving the entrance far behind.

Yet, from entrance to here, the scenery hadn’t changed a bit. It was a barren plain devoid of flowers, trees, or grass, with only the black earth and no signs of life.

The sky was filled with dense clouds, without any sunlight trickling through, yet it was not dark.

Zhou Heng was suddenly curious, took out the Yunluo Boat, and said, "Let’s fly up to see!"

Swoosh, the Yunluo Boat shot into the sky, initially flying so fast it was even more astonishing than Zhou Heng’s full-speed sprint. But when it reached about ten thousand miles high, it seed to have entered a slurry, and its speed suddenly dropped.

Can’t go higher!

Zhou Heng nodded internally. If the sky could be traversed, there wouldn’t be a saying that the Great River Academy is the only place of entry and exit. This was a twisted space. Though Zhou Heng didn’t know how it was ’twisted’, it resembled a bottle, sealed everywhere with just one exit.

He piloted the Yunluo Boat down to fly close to the ground. This Flying Artifact was truly excellent, with countless Array Patterns on the boat’s body, capable of absorbing nature’s spiritual energy to power itself, already faster than Zhou Heng at full charge.

Moreover, spiritual power could be infused into it to further boost the flying boat’s speed, reaching levels comparable to the Milky Way Sovereign.

This is also why Zhou Heng was willing to teach Geng Xinnuo the Crimson Fla Sword Technique just to obtain the Yunluo Boat—it was indeed extrely practical.

This ancient battlefield was vast, and the Yunluo Boat had already flown over thirty thousand miles without reaching an end. In fact, the academy had previously advised that the extre exploration area here was a hundred thousand miles.

Beyond this distance, it’s not that the ancient battlefield ends. On the contrary, beyond this distance marks the true center of the ancient battlefield, filled with dangers.

Within a hundred thousand miles, one could escape danger with so caution, but beyond that, one might encounter Milky Way Realm Demon Beasts, capable of crushing a Star Emperor with just a claw or a bite.

However, the greater the risk, the greater the reward. In the past, the ancient battlefield ran deep with blood, with countless Stellar Realm and Milky Way Realm martial artists perishing—not to ntion cot realm experts!

Their blood seeped into the earth, potentially giving birth to a treasure called "Blood Spirit Fruit!"

Top-grade Blood Spirit Fruit could be called a Minor Holy dicine, which even Black Cave Realm experts coveted!

This fruit is divided into ten levels, and it’s very easy to distinguish. The Blood Spirit Fruit has crimson halos on it, and the number of halos indicates the level of the Blood Spirit Fruit, with one being the lowest and ten being the highest.

For every ten thousand years it grows, the Blood Spirit Fruit can rise a level, producing an additional halo. If you look at it this simple way, it seems like the Blood Spirit Fruit is quite easy to obtain, as it would beco a Minor Holy dicine in just a hundred thousand years!

However, the growth of the Blood Spirit Fruit requires the blood of countless experts. A level four or five Blood Spirit Fruit might be achieved through quantity of blood, but beyond level five, the quality of the blood becos crucial; it’s not rely a matter of quantity.

The ancient battlefield has seen the deaths of many Milky Way Realm experts, making it very likely to produce level four or even level five Blood Spirit Fruits!

Zhou Heng isn’t greedy; he’s content with level one or two Blood Spirit Fruits — in fact, he is still at the Stellar Realm, and Blood Spirit Fruits from level one to three can provide him with imnse benefits.

The advantage of refining them into pills is that, after refining, a Spirit Grass that was originally only one portion can beco two or even three portions of Spirit Pills! The downside is the possibility of failure in refining, which can also result in resistance!

In fact, the so-called dicinal toxin is really fire toxin, which must be slowly eliminated from the body over ti.

On the other hand, directly eating Spirit Grass avoids the trouble of dicinal toxin, because it is nurtured by nature and is completely natural.

The Blood Spirit Fruit is a special herb that, depending on its growth years, spans across three levels from Spiritual dicine to Holy dicine. As such, this herb cannot be refined into pills, as there are no auxiliary materials to pair with it.

If you find one, just eat it directly!

It’s said that one level one Blood Spirit Fruit can allow a Martial Artist at the Stellar Realm to form a hundred stars!

Of course, this just refers to the accumulation of spiritual power. If the problem of the Starry Secret Array cannot be solved, then the generated spiritual power will simply be wasted.

No matter when, the true difficulty lies in realm comprehension, which troubles all the Martial Artists under the heavens.

"Blood Spirit Fruit! Blood Spirit Fruit!" The Black Donkey was already drooling, unable to stop.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Little Fire, turning red from its proximity to the donkey lady, also beca a foodie, drooling without any semblance of a Heaven-Earth Divine Beast.

Zhou Heng shook his head, controlling the Yunluo Boat to skim the ground. Flying in the sky would make them too conspicuous, not only attracting demon beasts but also possibly other people entering here. Often, the sa kind can be the most troubleso.

They naturally encountered demon beasts along the way, but Zhou Heng wasn’t interested in fighting; his goal was clear — the Blood Spirit Fruit!

The Yunluo Boat demonstrated trendous effectiveness, speeding ahead at a high velocity, even the Star Emperor would find it hard to match. If they encountered one truly, Zhou Heng or the Black Donkey could simply input spiritual power, allowing the Yunluo Boat to burst at even higher speeds, leaving everything in the dust.

Just one day later, they entered the central area of the ancient battlefield. It was still a vast plain, but with signs of life, green grass growing on the ground, and scattered pieces of broken armor, so still containing decomposed corpses with only white bones remaining.

Zhou Heng put away the Yunluo Boat, and the trio began to proceed on foot.

Little Fire, with no sense of fear, bounded around joyfully, occasionally lifting a leg to mark territory with urine.

Zhou Heng picked up a piece of armor to examine it; it had runes densely scattered on it, but these could not be activated even with the input of spiritual power as they had long been damaged. However, Zhou Heng had a Purple Jade Dagger that could unleash a strike with the power of an extre Star King, though by comparison, the array patterns on the Purple Jade Dagger were much simpler.

These armors were at least of the Star Sovereign or even Star Emperor level!

One or two pieces weren’t much, but looking ahead, there were miles of corpses scattered everywhere, with discarded armor visible from ti to ti! Calculating it this way makes it terrifying; which force could boast such a foundation?

At the very least, the current Great River Academy couldn’t achieve this!

The Heavenly Array Institute didn’t have that many people, and their annual output was naturally very limited.

In Ancient Tis, before the founding of the Great River Academy, Duyang Star must have experienced a more prosperous era, but the battle that occurred here forcibly knocked Duyang Star down from a six Yuan Star to a four Yuan Star, significantly reducing its martial levels!

This is pulling one end and moving the whole body; the decline of martial paths also affected the Alchemy Dao and array pattern techniques, leading to the loss of many skills.

- Could it be that Yang Yuhua and others were invited to the Great River Academy to observe and weren’t just looking at these broken array patterns? Because once these patterns are repaired and recreated, it would be a huge advancent for Duyang Star in the array pattern arts.

However, Zhou Heng wasn’t much interested in array patterns; he was more interested if they were runes, which seed sowhat similar, yet were vastly different.

Little Fire kept sniffing around, turning everywhere, while the Black Donkey followed closely behind; according to that damned donkey, the dog’s nose was the most sensitive, so it was better to let Little Fire search for the Blood Spirit Fruit.

Zhou Heng, however, felt that bringing this donkey along was probably the most unreliable thing he’d done. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to visit Qidian to cast recomnded votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
