The terrifying sword light pierced the heavens and the earth.
A space crack suddenly appeared, and a storm gathered.
The Nine Heavens Opening Sword gradually detached itself, the Nine Heavens World crumbled bit by bit, and chunks of debris fell, devouring everything, plunging the entire world into the apocalypse.
With the departure of the Nine Heavens Opening Sword, the Nine Heavens World was unable to sustain itself for much longer.
The loss of the Yuan was alarmingly rapid.
The three powerhouses from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Continent immediately recognized the importance of the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.
"This world is quite special; everything is built upon that sword. As long as the sword exists, so too does the world."
"The Yuan disappears too quickly; our consumption rate cannot catch up. The value of this world is greatly diminished, not even comparable to some ordinary worlds."
Soon, they shifted their target.
"Seize that sword!"
Every being that witnessed it knew that the Nine Heavens Opening Sword was an extraordinarily coveted treasure.
As strong individuals from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Continent, they understood this all too well.
Their vision was far from low.
Butâ
Hei Yang, facing the charge of three Tenth Realm powerhouses, didnât care in the least, "Hmph, coveting the Nine Heavens Opening Sword, but do you really have the ability to wield it?"
Swish!
With a gentle wave of his hand, endless sword light flickered, instantly halting the advance of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Continentâs warriors.
The trioâs expressions turned grave.
"Such a terrifying treasure, itâs probably not inferior to the top Secret Treasure of our world. Itâs just that they canât unleash its full might; otherwise, weâd have no hope of avoiding it."
Hei Yang took a deep breath as he observed the might unleashed by the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.
He knew it was strong, but he hadnât expected it to be this formidable.
Wielding the Nine Heavens Opening Sword, he could possibly take on three opponents of the same realm.
However, he was also clear in his heart that he was still far from being a match for the Eleventh Realm.
"Itâs time to leave... Although it has come to the very last step, the situation is much better than I expected. With the Nine Heavens Opening Sword, as long as I donât encounter one of the initial powerful worlds, there wonât be any problems."
The starry sky was so vast, nearly infinite.
The strongest worlds were but a few; he did not believe his luck was so bad that he would directly open a path to the proximity of a powerful worldâs region.
He glanced at the Flying Boat already entering the spatial passageway.
Then, he took one last look at the ruined Nine Heavens World and didnât hesitate to enter the passage.
After entering the passage, Bai Yue approached.
"Everything is ready; we can close the passageway."
Hei Yang nodded, "From here on, itâs all up to fate!"
It wasnât just the powerful worlds they might face next; shutting down one side of the spatial passagewayâs entrance was also a risky move.
He looked to the most elite individuals from his Nine Heavens World and once again summoned the Nine Heavens Opening Sword.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have lost our world. From here on, we will live on the run in the starry sky. I hope you all will join me in striving forward so that the Nine Heavens World will rise again!"
Those following Hei Yang and Bai Yue were the elite of the Nine Heavens World.
They understood that under the vast starry sky, without powerhouses, one wouldnât even have the right to negotiate terms.
Therefore, after receiving the secretive message, they resolutely followed Hei Yang, of course, this was also inseparable from the high prestige both Hei Yang and Bai Yue inherently held within the Nine Heavens World.
They led the entire world to become stronger, and even if they were living as fugitives, there were countless followers.
Upon hearing Hei Yangâs words, everyone was invigorated, "The Nine Heavens World will rise again!"
"Good, then letâs set off!"
The Nine Heavens Opening Sword continued to burst forth with power, and the spatial passageway was closed.
However, in the final moment before closure, a figure rushed in.
It was Hua Yu!
The Daluo World Envoy!
Following his entry into the passageway, his aura weakened immensely; from being among the high levels of the Tenth Realm, he suddenly fell to the strength of just entering the Tenth Realm, and then promptly surged into the Flying Boat that Hei Yang occupied.
Upon seeing this person, Hei Yang was greatly surprised.
Yet, he dared not act in the spatial passageway.
Stability was crucial, currently sustained by the Nine Heavens Opening Sword. Should they fight, their entire troop would face annihilation.
Hua Yu knew his actions would draw attention but still spoke, "Donât attack; I am on your side. Iâm joining you of the Nine Heavens World."
Bai Yue immediately scoffed, "Are you joking, joining us?!"
Hua Yu let out a wry smile, "I know you do not trust me, but you can verify any way you want, even Soul Search; I will not resist."
At these words, both Hei Yang and Bai Yue were stunned.
Soul Searchâa technique everyone feared.
This was not only about the exposure of secrets but also about humiliation.
Even the weakest didnât wish for it, let alone such a strong individual.
Hei Yang and Bai Yue exchanged a glance.
Bai Yue said, "Do not resist."
Having made his decision, Hua Yu naturally did not resist, and swiftly Bai Yue confirmed the truth.
"Is this for real?!"
Bai Yue hadnât expected Hua Yuâs mind to be completely unguarded, which she saw very clearly.
Although there was a chance of Secret Techniques concealing the truth, it was largely trustworthy.
Hei Yang was also taken aback and said, "Speak up, why are you coming with us?"
With a bitter smile, Hua Yu explained, "Thatâs because you do not know how domineering the Heavenly Emperor is. This time, the Nine Heavens World was preempted by the Ten Thousand Tribulations Continent. Although it doesnât have much to do with me, the Heavenly Emperor will definitely pursue it, and the punishment is death, complete obliteration!"
Hei Yang and Bai Yue were shocked again, "You are a Tenth Realm powerhouse, and just like that, youâre going to die?"
Even if the Heavenly Emperor was an Eleventh Realm powerhouse, isnât this treatment of the Tenth Realm too harsh?
That was, after all, among the pinnacle forces of the current starry sky.
