Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 808 - 785 Earth Dragon (3/3)

There’s a saying, "You can escape the monk but not the temple," and the Blue Dragon Empress is just like that.

Although she always used the Red Dragon Empress as a shield, it was to no avail as her sister was completely unreliable, abandoning her to sleep while she had to face Zhou Heng on her own.

Daring to defy her own man, that’s a major crime!

Without a word, Zhou Heng picked up the Blue Dragon Empress and gave her a good spanking—he actually wanted to find an excuse to torment that charming rear again, and the Blue Dragon Empress just gave him the opportunity.

No matter how her power greatly exceeded Zhou Heng’s, under the constraints of the Red Moon Laws, the Blue Dragon Empress couldn’t harbor the slightest intention against Zhou Heng, otherwise she’d be overwhelmed with pain.

This made her even more resentful of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng enjoyed teasing her like this, finding amusement in her unwilling yet helpless expression.

The Black Donkey finally grew tired of piloting the star ship, irresponsibly uttering a farewell to Zhou Heng before patting its behind and heading to its room to count its treasures collected over the years, a peculiar habit of that shameless donkey—it wouldn’t rest easily without doing this daily.

Zhou Heng led the Blue Dragon Empress to the cockpit, his wicked expression making the Blue Dragon Empress uneasy.

"Hey, stop being all hands-on!"

"Why are you taking off my clothes?"

"Scoundrel, stop undressing yourself!"

"Ah—filthy rogue, stop messing around!"

"Mmm... uhh..."

The Blue Dragon Empress’s protests gradually died down, replaced by the heavy breathing of both individuals.

Traveling through the Star Sea, the journey was long; even though the star ship had traversal capabilities, crossing the universe was still a lengthy task. Luckily, with a man and a woman paired together, the work was less tiring. Zhou Heng and the Blue Dragon Empress spent their days in the cockpit, but what they actually did there was unknown to outsiders.

Four months later, the star ship made its final traversal, finally arriving near the fractured continent designated "1744".

In the void of the universe, precise positioning was virtually impossible; everything was in flux, albeit not rapidly, like a river with a slow current. However, with hundreds or even thousands of years passing, significant positional changes could still occur.

This positional change was far short of the distance required for a space traversal, but finding the spot in the dark universe was not an easy task.

Upon arriving here, Zhou Heng, the Blue Dragon Empress, and the Black Donkey mobilized together, flying directly from the star ship into the Star Sea daily for searches. After nearly two months, they finally found the fractured continent "1744".

Zhou Heng piloted the star ship to land, hiding it in a small valley before the group began their journey towards the place where Seven Star Fruit grew.

The Red Dragon Empress was a super lazy person, choosing to sit if possible and lie if sitting was an option, but with the star ship already landed, she could only rest inside the Immortal Residence, neighboring Hongyue!

This immediately scared her laziness away!

Be neighbors with Hongyue? How could she even think of sleeping? She’d be scared to death! fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

Observing her disgruntled expression while she accompanied the journey, Zhou Heng and the Blue Dragon Empress both laughed—it’s true that one thing overcomes another. Though the two were both from the Red lineage, Hongyue undeniably outclassed the Red Dragon Empress countless times!

The Immortal Realm’s universe no longer had a sun, making it theoretically impossible for any Immortal Herbs to grow. Yet some continents housed abundant Immortal Stones, enabling the nutrients required for Immortal Herbs’ growth.

Therefore, many fractured continents gradually sprouted vegetation, but compared to normal continents, these plants surely had many peculiar characteristics.

Like here, where towering vine growth abound, each vine leaf was as large as two acres of rice fields. Thankfully, there was neither light nor moon in the universe, so no matter how densely these branches grew, blocking light was irrelevant; after all, it remained pitch dark.

On the ground, fallen leaves accumulated thickly. Had it been ordinary people, they’d certainly sink into the layer of decaying leaves with one step, suffocating to death.

But Zhou Heng and his companions were high-tier Immortals, naturally treading as though on solid ground.

—While flying in the sky, rampant and dense vines actually made ground travel more convenient.

"There’s movement!" The Blue Dragon Empress suddenly raised her delicate hand, halting and speaking.

Zhou Heng also showed a focused listening expression, with golden light flickering on his fist.

Boom!

At that moment, the decayed leaves suddenly scattered skyward, a long black silhouette shot up from the ground, opened its massive bloody mouth and lunged at Zhou Heng’s group.

This creature was entirely pitch-black and its body round and plump, still slick with viscous fluid. Despite opening a massive mouth, it had no eyes, nose, or ears—not even a face, just a big mouth on a cylindrical body!

If anything, it somewhat resembled an earthworm, albeit magnified ten thousand or even a hundred thousand times—a super giant earthworm!

"Oh my gosh!" The Black Donkey shrieked, spreading its legs and running away.

"Stupid donkey, why are you running so fast? You’re almost throwing me off!" The Red Dragon Empress was napping on the donkey’s back, and the Black Donkey’s sudden jump nearly caused her to fall off.

The Black Donkey suddenly had a realization. Right, it was carrying a Five Aspects Bright Immortal; why was it even trying to dodge? If anything was going to eat, it would eat the woman on its back first. Besides, the Red Dragon Empress was lazy, so would she really feed herself to a demon beast?

"Fourth sister, I’m leaving it to you!" The Red Dragon Empress lazily said.

The Blue Dragon Empress had a battle-ready expression on her face. These days, she’d been "bullied" quite badly by Zhou Heng, and she was itching to find someone to take it out on! She immediately imagined this giant worm as Zhou Heng, especially with its thick and long appearance—it reminded her of that troublesome thing, didn’t it?

Her pretty face couldn’t help but blush. She had to admit, though she was tormented miserably, she also tasted supreme delight, and sometimes she felt the urge to just spend her life with Zhou Heng like this.

Damned!

All because of that troublesome thing!

The Blue Dragon Empress’s killing intent surged. With a wave of her right hand, frost condensed, instantly turning the surrounding hundred-zhang area into a frozen world. The giant worm froze in action, turning into a long ice stick.

She then struck from a distance again, and with a crack, the ice shattered and scattered, the parts of the worm exposed aboveground turning into ice fragments, not a single piece of intact flesh visible.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground trembled as the ice shattered and shards flew. Black shadows burst from beneath the earth, charging towards Zhou Heng and his group.

"So many!" The Black Donkey yelled at the top of its lungs.

"Seal them for this Empress!" The Blue Dragon Empress’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many of Zhou Heng’s "troublesome things," she was having a blast fighting them! The Dragon Clan Empress soared into the sky, spread her hands, and with each wave of her ten fingers, a cerulean ice sword shot out, slashing through the air.

At least a dozen super giant worms rose from the ground, flailing their limbs and striking at the Blue Dragon Empress, the gusts they created roaring like a super hurricane.

The Blue Dragon Empress single-handedly fought these dozen giant worms to a draw!

Zhou Heng was secretly amazed. The Blue Dragon Empress was a Five Aspects Bright Immortal. Back when the Immortal Realm hadn’t collapsed yet, experts were as common as clouds, yet at least hundreds of Creation Emperors were sacrificed to suppress her!

But now these worms, though it was unclear if they were really super giant worms, could evenly match her in battle—even though the Blue Dragon Empress wasn’t using her full power, it was impressive enough!

The universe is vast, and experts still exist! Besides, these are demon beasts, not martial artists, having nothing to do with humans.

Only demon beasts are inherently strong and won’t weaken due to a gap in the Martial Path. Instead, without the suppression of human experts, they find it easier to grow!

Clearly, these super giant worms thrived in this remote place, having grown strong enough to contend with a Five Aspects Bright Immortal!

Damn, why didn’t that nine-headed cat annotate this on the star chart!

Zhou Heng complained inwardly, but he understood. Why would Mao Li and the others bother recording their losses on the star chart? They’d just avoid this route next time. It’s not like those two Chi Wei, who are guarding Holy Medicines, where a head-on clash is necessary.

"Hey, fourth sister, these kind of look like Earth Dragons!" The Red Dragon Empress calmed the Black Donkey, preventing it from running around, and stared at the giant black worms thoughtfully before suddenly speaking up.

"They do, a bit. Really gross!" The Blue Dragon Empress responded, sneaking a glance at Zhou Heng and eyeing him critically.

Zhou Heng felt a chill run down his spine. Why was this woman staring at him there? Why did it make him feel so cold?

If he knew the Blue Dragon Empress was imagining these giant worms as his thing while fighting, he’d definitely hit the roof. Was this chick trying to rebel?

The Blue Dragon Empress grew fiercer the longer she fought, roaring continuously. Dragon Might erupted, and a phantom of a blue Heavenly Dragon appeared behind her, with her battle power soaring.

"What Earth Dragon?" Zhou Heng asked the Red Dragon Empress.

"A kind of... very disgusting Divine Beast!" The Red Dragon Empress replied.

"Explain more specifically!" Zhou Heng was quite interested.

The Red Dragon Empress, seeing the Blue Dragon Empress demonstrate her mighty power and gain the upper hand, relaxed and said, "The Four Divine Beasts of Heaven and Earth: Eastern Azure Dragon, Western White Tiger, Southern Vermilion Bird, Northern Black Tortoise, were born from heaven and earth after the world was cleaved open, naturally possessing incredibly powerful Divine Skills!"

"But according to legend, there is a fifth Divine Beast between heaven and earth!"

"That would be the worm, also called Earth Dragon or Bending Wriggler, ruling the center!"

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be curious, "How could a little worm possibly be called a Divine Beast?"

These things were everywhere in rural fields, hardly fitting for the noble title of Divine Beast, right?

"Unlike other Divine Beasts who reproduce with difficulty, Earth Dragons are highly fertile, so their bloodlines dilute quickly. After tens of thousands or even billions of generations, how could they still retain Divine Skills!" the Red Dragon Empress explained.

Exactly! If they were both fertile and formidable, wouldn’t the world have long been dominated by them?

"So, you think these Earth Dragons have relatively pure bloodlines?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
