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,"
