Chapter 2775: Blood River in the Starry Skies
Most of the worlds were too far apart and required a long travel through the starry skies. Therefore, there were very few teleportation formations that could teleport into a place directly.
Furthermore, it was also a potential risk of living beings of other races could teleport into a world at will.
Long-distance teleportation in the endless starry skies was not easy.
Even Immortal King experts who had the ability to tear through the void did not dare to travel through the spatial tunnels casually.
That was because there were many unknown danger zones hidden in the endless starry skies, such as forbidden grounds or black holes. If one was careless and was swept into them, even Immortal King experts would die easily.
Su Zimo and the others used the teleportation formation of the Sword World to leave. Lu Yun and the other three Immortal Kings controlled an immortal boat spirit treasure and shuttled through a spatial tunnel.
They kept their eyes on the map to prevent them from deviating from their path. If they encountered danger, they could avoid it in time.
Due to the distance, even with Immortal King experts leading everyone through a spatial tunnel, it would take them a few days to reach the Blessed Heaven World.
The immortal boat sped forward rapidly. However, through the spatial tunnel, everyone could still appreciate the magnificence of the boundless starry skies of the upper world. They could only feel how insignificant they were when they were in the vast sea of stars.
Apart from the four Immortal King experts, w.a.n.g Dong, Gong Sunyu, Sword Immortal Tai Lai and the others were a little excited and chatted happily. They had not left the Sword World for a long time. Furthermore, they were heading to the mysterious Blessed Heaven World this time round.
Li Xue, who carried a pitch-black sword on his back, said, “I usually feel restrained when sparring with my fellow disciples. I hope I can fight to my heart’s content in the Blessed Heaven World this time round!”
The requirements for sparring between disciples of the Sword World were extremely strict.
Not only did they have to be of the same cultivation realm, they could not use Essence Spirit secret skills or fight to the death.
Even if one cultivated the Carnage Sword Dao, they had to hold back when attacking.
Gong Sunyu smiled. “Brother Li, don’t worry. Once we’re on the Evil Fiend Battlefield, we can attack as much as we want. There’s no need to hold back and we can kill to our hearts’ content!”
“Evil Fiend Battlefield?”
Not far away, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat.
Before he could ask, Lu Yun suddenly turned around and looked at w.a.n.g Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others with a serious expression. “The few of you must not be careless. The Evil Fiend Battlefield is extraordinary and there are many top experts among those Sin Spirits and Evil Fiends. Their combat strength is definitely not inferior to yours!”
Yu Lan nodded as well. “Even Lin Xunzhen has to be careful inside, let alone the few of you. At that time, you can’t split up. You have to ensure your safety first.”
Feng Xu added, “Furthermore, almost all the Perfected Immortals who dare to head to the Blessed Heaven World are paragons and monster incarnates of the major worlds. None of them are to be trifled with.”
“Fighting is prohibited in the Blessed Heaven World. However, it’s hard to say in the Evil Fiend Battlefield.”
“What’s the Evil Fiend Battlefield you guys were talking about?”
Su Zimo was puzzled when he heard that. He did not know what Sin Spirits and the Evil Fiend Battlefield that Lu Yun and the others were talking about had to do with the Blessed Heaven World, so he could not help but ask.
“Actually, the Evil Fiend Battlefield is…”
Lu Yun smiled and was about to explain when his expression changed. He looked out of the spatial tunnel with a grim expression and gradually frowned.
At that moment, the others in the Sword World also noticed the abnormality outside.
Through the spatial tunnel, one could see that the starry skies outside was covered in a faint blood fog. It was unknown what had happened.
The immortal boat gradually slowed down and everyone could see it even more clearly.
In the starry skies outside, a scarlet and wide river of blood floated with countless corpses bobbing up and down-it was a shocking sight!
The blood river flowed quietly in the starry skies with no end in sight. There were countless corpses inside like the sand of the Ganges River.
It was way too tragic!
Even though they were in the spatial tunnel, everyone from the Sword World seemed to be able to smell blood. They were shocked and could not bear to see it.
There were probably hundreds of millions of dead beings at a single glance!
What exactly happened here?
Yu Lan frowned slightly and said sternly, “Judging from the location, this should be the Seven Stars Sword World.”
“Yes.”
Lu Yun nodded. “These corpses are all cultivators of the Seven Stars Sword World.”
Seven Stars Sword World?
That world sounded familiar and Su Zimo fell into deep thought.
Before long, he recalled that when the ninth Sword Peak was established, some lesser worlds came to congratulate him. Among them were people from the Seven Stars Sword World.
At that time, an Immortal King expert of the Seven Stars Sword World even came to congratulate him with a gift.
“Let’s go out and take a look.”
Lu Yun said in a low voice and steered the immortal boat through the barrier of the spatial tunnel, returning to the starry skies outside.
Upon arriving in the starry skies, everyone could sense it even more clearly.
The stench of blood a.s.saulted their faces and was suffocating.
Lu Yun steered the immortal boat slowly above the blood river.
Everyone lowered their heads and could clearly see the tragic corpses floating in the blood river.
Some of them had eyes widened in grievance.
Some of their heads were shattered.
Some of the corpses were sliced into pieces…
Most of the corpses were cultivators of the Black, Earth and Heaven Essence realms who had not even condensed their Dao Fruits.
Although Su Zimo was used to seeing death, he could not help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw the corpses of more than a hundred million cultivators so close.
Die Yue and the Human Monarch had once told him about the cruelty and bloodshed of the upper world. He had also personally experienced many hards.h.i.+ps in the Heavenly World.
But now, when he saw the scene before him, he truly understood what cruelty and bloodshed were!
Feng Xu said in a deep voice, “These cultivators should have died not long ago.”
“Let’s take a look at the front.”
Lu Yun said in a deep voice as he steered the immortal boat and carried everyone towards the source of the blood river.
Before long, seven dull gigantic stars filled with cracks appeared in the starry skies ahead and were filled with blood.
Blood was still flowing slowly through the cracks of the seven stars and gathered continuously in the starry skies, forming the blood river that stretched for thousands of kilometers earlier on.
The location of the seven stars was the former Seven Stars Sword World.
However, the Seven Stars Sword World had already turned into ruins, leaving only endless corpses bobbing in the blood river.
Before long, the seven gigantic stars would collapse completely and dissipate in the boundless starry skies as well.
There was silence on the immortal boat.
Everyone looked at the scene before them in silence for a long time.
A moment later, Yu Lan sighed. “The Seven Stars Sword World was destroyed just like that.”
Fury surged in Lu Yun’s heart as he clenched his fists. “It’s one thing to destroy the world surface, but to slaughter hundreds of millions of living beings is way too cruel and heartless!”
“Who could have done it?”
The Peak Master of Tyrant Sword Peak, Bi Tianxing, asked with a frown.
Feng Xu shook his head. “There are too many experts who have the ability to destroy an entire world. However, it’s probably not the work of a single person to slaughter so many living beings. They were probably surrounded and killed by the army of a certain world..”
