1095 Three Moves of G.o.d Slaying, The Will of the Life Severing Sword (2)
Zhou Shu moved like lightning and instantly arrived under the heavenly fire waterfall.
The heat that was enough to incinerate steel a.s.saulted his face, and the surface of his body glowed slightly as he looked up at the sky.
There was a black hole-like gap in the sky, and the heavenly fire waterfall was pouring out of it. It wasn’t clear where the source was.
Bai Qianqian had already disappeared into the gap on her sword, as if she had gone to the source of the heavenly fire.
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment before stepping on the heavenly fire waterfall to swim against the current.
Bai Yue activated the Lightning Heavenly Furnace Heart Sutra, and lightning surrounded the surface of his body. Even so, the extreme temperature made him feel as if his body was about to melt.
“Master!” He approached the heavenly fire waterfall with difficulty, but Zhou Shu had already soared into the sky. While resisting the high temperature, he chased after Zhou Shu, but his speed was far inferior to Zhou Shu’s.
He watched helplessly as Zhou Shu entered the gap in the sky.
“Bai Qianqian!”
A three-meter-wide halo appeared around Zhou Shu. The Celestial Thearch Sword floated in front of him, and light circulated endlessly on the sword.
Moving upstream along the heavenly fire waterfall, he pa.s.sed through the hole in the sky and suddenly saw darkness.
It was extremely dark in front of him.
Zhou Shu floated in the air, unable to sense his surroundings at all. It was as if he was entirely in nothingness.
He visualized the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form in his mind, and his divine sense spread out like water.
His divine sense left his body but seemed to enter a dense environment. It only moved three meters away from his body before it couldn’t continue forward.
He couldn’t see with his eyes, and his divine sense could only sense three meters away from his body.
Zhou Shu seemed to have become blind, completely unaware of the situation around him.
He looked down and saw that the gap was still there.
Through the gap, he could see the heavenly fire waterfall flowing out of the void from afar. Below it was a lush and ancient land filled with natural scenery.
From this angle, the land of ancient times looked incomparably beautiful. But a large portion of this incomparably beautiful continent had already turned fiery red. The flames were still burning, and the land under the flames had already turned into scorched earth.
“Bai Qianqian!” Zhou Shu shouted again.
“I’m here! Zhou Shu, come save me!” Bai Qianqian’s sobbing voice came from the front.
Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. His figure flashed as he moved forward.
After walking for an unknown period of time, he thought that he hadn’t moved when a soft body suddenly b.u.mped into his arms.
“Bai Qianqian?” Zhou Shu was shocked. He couldn’t see and couldn’t probe with his divine sense. Even his hearing was greatly affected. He actually didn’t notice that Bai Qianqian was beside him.
“It’s me!” Bai Qianqian wrapped herself around Zhou Shu like an octopus and cried, “You scared me to death. You’re finally here. I kept calling you just now. Didn’t you hear me?”
Her tears touched his neck.
Zhou Shu wanted to pull Bai Qianqian off his body, but when he reached out, he felt something full of elasticity. He accidentally touched her b.u.t.t.
“Weren’t you very awe-inspiring when you went up with your sword just now? Why are you so frightened?” Zhou Shu didn’t dare to use any more strength.
“It’s not that I wanted to come up. It’s Little Duan! No, it’s the Life Severing Sword!” Bai Qianqian cried. “What’s wrong with the Life Severing Sword you gave me? It insisted on bringing me here!”
“The Life Severing Sword?” Zhou Shu frowned. The Life Severing Sword took the initiative to bring Bai Qianqian here?
The Life Severing Sword was a grotto-heaven divine weapon he had personally forged. No one in the world knew the Life Severing Sword better than him.
It wasn’t wrong to say that the Life Severing Sword had a spirit, but it was impossible to say that the Life Severing Sword had a personality of its own like the Longevity Sword.
Even grotto-heaven divine weapons couldn’t have their own consciousness like humans.
The spirituality of a grotto-heaven divine weapon was only a vague consciousness.
Could it be because there was still a remnant consciousness in the skeleton? Zhou Shu frowned.
“Where’s the Life Severing Sword?”
Before Bai Qianqian could answer, a message suddenly flashed before Zhou Shu’s eyes.
[The Life Severing Sword you forged effectively completed a kill. You are rewarded with the technique, the Three Moves of G.o.d Slaying!]
The Life Severing Sword completed a kill?
Are there really enemies in this place?
Zhou Shu’s vision was dark, and he couldn’t see his surroundings at all. He had no way of determining if there were any enemies.
Now that Bai Qianqian was in his arms, it was definitely impossible for her to control the Life Severing Sword.
Is the Life Severing Sword killing enemies on its own?
Could it be that the remaining consciousness in the skeleton is really driving the Life Severing Sword to kill enemies from beyond the heavens?
Are the enemies beyond the heavens existences from another world like the Nine Immortals?
Boom!
As Zhou Shu was thinking, he suddenly felt something and raised his arm to block. He felt a huge force hurt his arm.
He grunted and retreated with Bai Qianqian in his arms.
“Come, sword!”
The Celestial Thearch Sword fell into his hand. Without any hesitation, Zhou Shu slashed forward.
Three Moves of G.o.d Slaying, the first move, Sun Radiance!
A ball of light as bright as the sun exploded above the tip of the sword. With a loud bang, a ball of light briefly lit up in the endless darkness.
Zhou Shu saw a figure being forced back dozens of meters by the sword beam before disappearing into the darkness.
It was only the blink of an eye, but he vaguely saw the figure.
It was an existence that looked almost identical to humans.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly and became vigilant.
Although he hadn’t used his full strength, the Three Moves of G.o.d Slaying was a technique he had just obtained. It was a little different from the techniques Zhou Shu had obtained before. The Three Moves of G.o.d Slaying gave up all else and purely pursued lethality.
Even the Heaven Slaying Sword Art that Zhou Shu had mastered was inferior to the Three Moves of G.o.d Slaying.
Even the Seven Swords of Heaven Interception was inferior to the Three Moves of G.o.d Slaying in terms of pure lethality.
The Seven Swords of Heaven Interception was the general outline of the Sword Dao. Its power was different for different cultivators.
With Zhou Shu’s current cultivation, he could even kill ordinary Grotto-Heaven realm experts with a single strike.
But this enemy from beyond the heavens was actually able to block his attack. This was enough to prove his strength.
And in this darkness, it was unknown how many such enemies there were.
Swoosh!
The sound of rushing wind rang out again. Without hesitation, Zhou Shu slashed out again.
Ding!
The Celestial Thearch Sword seemed to have struck metal. Only then did Zhou Shu see that this time, it wasn’t an enemy but the Life Severing Sword.
“The Life Severing Sword?” Zhou Shu snorted. The consciousness in the skeleton had been hidden deep enough that even he hadn’t noticed it.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind[1]. In the end, even Bai Qianqian didn’t benefit. Instead, the consciousness of the skeleton benefited.
This consciousness now had a divine weapon body like Shi Changsheng.
“Help me!” A weak voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s consciousness.
“The apocalypse has already begun. If we don’t stop it, this world will be completely devoured. At that time, there will be no living beings in this world.” The voice seemed anxious. “I have a way to stop them! But I need your help!”
“Who are you? Why should I help you?” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“There’s no time to explain too much. You’re not only helping me but also helping this world!” the voice said quickly.
“Once this world is destroyed, you will also become a homeless ghost! If you don’t help me, this world won’t even have a chance of survival!
“There’s really no time to explain. Help me stop them!”
With the sound of the Life Severing Sword, an incomparably sharp sword qi slashed forward. A figure grunted and was sent flying.
Rumbling sounds came from below. At some point, the heavenly fire waterfall had more than doubled in width. Boundless heavenly fire was flowing toward the ancient continent, burning countless places!
