Eli must have created the bloody scroll with the power of his Omnipotent Skills. And it contained all the
cultivation methods and experiences of the Shura Eight Moves.
Once Ricky's mind had synched with it, his eyes were opened to the contents of the bloody scroll,
seeing all nine pages arranged in succession. However, he found that only the first page of the scroll
could integrate with his mind.
'In the Shura Eight Moves, there are eight strikes in total. That means the first eight pages of the scroll
should correspond with each move. The Shura Casket mentioned that once I have mastered all eight
moves, I will be able to learn one more—the one combining all the eight moves. That must be what the
ninth page of the scroll contains, '
Ricky pondered to himself.
Unfortunately, his mind could only integrate with the first page at this time. That meant he would have
to successfully cultivate the first move and gain a deep understanding of it before he could move on to
the next move.
"With that pattern, the Shura Eight Moves must be a series of Omnipotent Skills, with the preceding
moves used as the foundation for the succeeding ones," murmured Ricky thoughtfully. "In that case, let
me see the first move first!"
Boom! When his mind entered the first page, Ricky let out a strangled gasp as his body trembled all
over. His mind had slipped into a blood zone.
Endless shura power pervaded in the zone, surging like a massive ocean wave. Of course, it wasn't
real. It was just an image on the first page of the scroll.
The next moment, a bloody sky emerged over the blood zone, although this sky seemed incomplete. It
looked like it was still growing. And below it was vast bloody earth, which seemed in a similar state as
the bloody sky. It, too, seemed half-done.
"It's the bloody sky and the bloody earth!"
exclaimed Ricky in astonishment.
Seeing this, he had an idea that the first move had something to do with the incomplete heaven and
earth.
As the blood vitality billowed around them like a storm, a bloody giant shadow appeared. Ricky knew at
first glance that the bloody giant shadow was the one emitting the potent shura power everywhere.
With a casual wave of the bloody giant shadow, a bloody saber materialized on its hand. It waved the
saber in the air, each saber corresponding to the essence of heaven and earth, which was constantly
changing. Ricky was mesmerized at the sight.
But although Ricky couldn't take his eyes off it, that didn't mean he had comprehended it.
He could sense the power of the bloody saber as it grew exponentially with each wave of the saber,
and the mounting power seemed to have been pulled from the sky above and the earth below.
As the power of the bloody saber ramped up, it naturally had an inverse effect on the power of heaven
and earth, weakening it slowly but surely.
And as the power grew weaker and weaker, the incomplete sky and earth gradually slowed their
progress as if they could not be completed at all.
The more the giant shadow waved the bloody saber, the more that the heaven and earth weakened
until they finally had to retreat.
To make matters worse, the speed of heaven and earth's deterioration began to increase in speed.
When it reached its peak, the heaven and earth collapsed, shattering completely, while the power of
the heaven and earth gathered onto the bloody saber.
All of a sudden, the bloody giant shadow swung the bloody saber with all its might and launched its
strongest strike.
At once, the forceful impact completely shattered the heaven and the earth, and the blood became
murky with the inky stains of night. This was what happened to heaven and earth if they were
destroyed. Their lights grew dimmer and dimmer until there was nothing but pitch darkness. Since
heaven and earth were destroyed, everything was soon to follow. To top that off, the shura power would
undoubtedly finish everything off if, by some miracle, they managed to survive.
With this strike, heaven and earth would be erased, and Ricky, himself, would be the only one left.
Of course, this display of power stunned Ricky. He stood unmoving for a long time, immersed in the
power of the first move.
Finally, as if he was just released from a trance, Ricky sighed and murmured in awe, "What a
destructive and unparalleled move! The Shura Eight Moves are indeed the ultimate killing moves.
Wherever they go, they leave nothing but killing and destruction!"
Before long, the bloody giant shadow dispersed, and five gigantic words appeared in Ricky's mind.
'Destruction of Heaven and Earth!'
Seeing these words, Ricky was dumbfounded once again. Inwardly, the words had shocked him
greatly, but his face showed only slight surprise.
"That attack destroyed heaven and earth in one move! Surely, the name fits the attack quite well,"
Ricky remarked seriously as the words were branded starkly on his mind.
"So, that was the first move of Shura Eight Moves—the Destruction of Heaven and Earth!"
As soon as Ricky withdrew his mind from the scroll, the first page automatically disappeared. Now, it
only held eight pages and not nine.
"It looks like the power on the first page is enough to show me the first move but only once!" murmured
Ricky thoughtfully. "The next moves are probably the same. Fortunately, I have an extraordinary
memory, and I have drawn that scene with my zone.
Even if the first page is gone, I can still comprehend it based on my memory and the scene I have
drawn."
Then, Ricky integrated his mind into the Devourer Zone and the devouring runes, cultivating with
utmost concentration.
He knew that he had to cultivate the real shura power before he could practice that powerful strike—the
Destruction of Heaven and Earth.
While he was in the Devourer Zone, he evolved the killing power and the nether power from the
devouring power.
The shura power could be considered the ultimate power of killing and the dark nether power.
Thus, that was where Ricky started.
At once, he transformed into the Devouring Mutant and unleashed the Devourer Zone. He stood in
between two bloody seas—one was the sea of killing blood, while the other was the sea of dark nether
blood. Once Ricky successfully combined these two powers, they would form the shura power that he
wanted.
This required his utmost concentration and deep understanding ability, and even then, it lasted for a
whole two months.
At some point, the two bloody seas that surrounded Ricky fluctuated.
They split into two strands that formed the shape of the Eight Diagrams, which then entered the center
of Ricky's eyebrows.
At this moment, Ricky's killing power and nether power shifted and reached their peak.
The extreme power he was exhibiting was the same as the killing power in the Shura Casket. It was the
shura power.
With this, there was no more doubt that Ricky had finally comprehended the real shura power.
And he was able to do it thanks to his own talent and the Devourer Zone. However, the primary reason
he succeeded in comprehending such extreme killing in just two months was because of his
experience in the Shura Casket not long ago.
When he opened his eyes, his bloody pupils grew darker like a moonless night. The pure killing
revealed an intangible hint of clarity.
"At last, I have comprehended and cultivated the real shura power," Ricky sighed happily.
The next moment, he stood up and waved his Shura Justice Saber.
He was about to make a move similar to the Destruction of Heaven and Earth.
But even though the shape and move of the attack were identical to that of the bloody giant shadow, it
was evident that Ricky's strength wasn't as powerful.
It seemed that he had failed to comprehend the first move, the Destruction of Heaven and Earth.
Of course, this was to be expected. No matter how talented Ricky was, it was impossible for him to do
it perfectly the first time, especially when he had only seen it once.
'I guess I have to practice this strike more the next couple of days...' Ricky planned to himself.
The days passed quickly, and he continued working on his saber skills in the Devourer Zone.
He created two Shadowy Replications and made them duel each other, carefully watching every move
by the sidelines to spot his own flaws.
Another two months passed as he cultivated in that way.
And since he was so focused on his cultivation, he didn't notice time passing him by.
