Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 737 - 714
Chapter 737: 714
Zhou Heng was still at a disadvantage.
Because if Bing Xinzhu was truly at the same realm as him, she would definitely be influenced by his aura! He was the king among Martial Kings; unless someone surpassed his realm, even other Martial Kings would be impacted and their battle power would decline!
The reason Bing Xinzhu was not affected by Zhou Heng’s aura was that she, a Sublimation King who had broken through the realm barrier, was herself a Martial King.
The two displayed all their learning, unfolding their brilliance like a peacock spreading its feathers.
Zhou Heng’s eyes burned with an intense fighting spirit, soaring straight to the sky.
His challenge to Bing Xinzhu was purposeful, and there was more than one reason.
This woman possessed another Heavenly Scripture, and Zhou Heng wanted to observe and learn from it. He couldn’t just bluntly ask to borrow it, right? Genius only respects genius; he must first gain her acknowledgement, only then would there be a chance to exchange views on the Heavenly Scripture.
But that was only a possibility.
Second, and most importantly, he wanted to use her pressure to break through to become a Sublimation King!
Though the pressure from a Treasure Artifact piece was sufficient, it could only provide mental pressure, and it was impossible for him to sublimate during combat. moreover, this was a Great Realm breakthrough, and mental pressure alone was absolutely not enough.
Zhou Heng gave his all; he needed to force out Bing Xinzhu’s full battle power, push his potential to the limit, and sublimate violently to reach the Sublimation King realm!
He kept roaring, getting closer to the threshold of Sublimation King by the second, improbably increasing his battle power, putting indescribable pressure on Bing Xinzhu.
Wham!
Bing Xinzhu’s aura suddenly surged. She could no longer keep her power suppressed at the Four Aspects Sublimation King level and had to continuously enhance her strength, only then could she withstand Zhou Heng’s ferocious barrage.
This greatly irritated her. Though she prided herself as a genius and was invincible among her peers, she was forced to use more power than her opponent, which amounted to admitting that she was not Zhou Heng’s match at the same realm.
With that being the case, she had to win!
Bing Xinzhu unleashed her full battle power, her Fifteen Aspects Dharma simultaneously active behind her, each executing Immortal Techniques, immensely powerful beyond description!
This is why the higher the realm, the difference of even one Dharma or Divine Aspect can decide life and death!
One extra Dharma or Divine Aspect meant not just an increase in power, but an additional avatare to execute Immortal Techniques, effectively like having one more person; that was crucial!
Zhou Heng immediately felt enormous pressure, incredibly heavy!
Although his opponent was only a Sublimation King, her strength had reached the level of a Sublimation Sovereign, and her battle power was even more terrifying!
More crucially, she formed Dharma Aspects, with as many as fifteen avatars, equivalent to having fifteen Bing Xinzhus simultaneously executing Immortal Techniques!
Just like this! Bring it on! Bring it on! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Zhou Heng laughed loudly, bang, bang, bang, he fought until he was frenzied.
Blood continually flowed from his body; in front of the fully unleashed Bing Xinzhu, he was still no match, but his spirit and consciousness were greatly tempered, especially since he was directly battling with Dharma Aspects, letting him gain greater insights.
After reaching the pinnacle, sublimation followed!
His Spiritual Light flashed, and he finally seized the breakthrough opportunity!
Bang!
Just at that moment, his chest was struck hard by a palm, the tremendous force shattering seven of his ribs - even the Divine Bones of a Sublimation King Immortal Artifact grade couldn’t withstand it!
Zhou Heng frustratingly passed out, cursing in a moment of fuzziness.
This grudge, was genuinely cemented!
He originally had little interest in Bing Xinzhu, but this wench attacking so ruthlessly awakened his intention to take this wench home and spank her every day just to feel vindicated.
Not hitting her would be letting himself down!
When Zhou Heng woke up, he was already back at his own home—that extravagant mansion gifted by the Dongguo Family.
"Husband, you’ve finally awakened!"
"Hahaha, Zhou, you too have days when you’re beaten up!"
"Well hit, I want to send Bing Xinzhu a big red flower!"
Seeing him awake, the women and Black Donkey gathered around; they had truly never seen Zhou Heng defeated so miserably, and this was something novel.
Zhou Heng smiled slightly, completely unfazed.
He was only a Sunshine Emperor, losing to a Fifteen Aspects Sublimation King was nothing to be embarrassed about. Moreover, his opponent was a genius who cultivated another Heavenly Scripture!
More importantly, he had finally glimpsed the opportunity to break through to Sublimation King!
He was confident in completing this supreme sublimation within five days!
"Husband, there’s some bad news, do you want to hear it now, or later?" Yang Lanxin whispered into Zhou Heng’s ear.
"What is it?" Zhou Heng asked.
"Someone has challenged you; it will take place in the city’s arena in ten days!" Ying Mengfan interjected.
"Who is so idle?" Zhou Heng was a bit puzzled. He might only be a Sunshine Emperor, but he also had the dazzling title of Holy Pharmacist. Normally, people should be rushing to flatter him; who would challenge him?
"Gongyang Taisun!" Hu Mei said solemnly.
"I’ve never heard of him!" Zhou Heng shook his head, wondering who this person thought he was.
"Do not underestimate him!" Hu Mei immediately said, "Gongyang Taisun is one of the most outstanding talents among the young generation in Juexian City, and his strength is in no way inferior to Bing Xinzhu! Moreover, this man is eccentric and acts without any reservation!"
"What’s more critical is that he is pursuing Bing Xinzhu!"
"Rumors are all over the place, claiming that you are Bing Xinzhu’s fiancé, so naturally, he wants to challenge you!"
The women chattered nonstop.
"That guy is so shameless, even though he’s a Sublimation King, he’s challenging you, who is still a Sunshine Emperor!"
"His background is complicated. His father is one of the six Holy Pharmacists of this era, Gongyang Luo, and his master is a legendary figure from the Immortal Realm, known as the Immortal King Dugu Xuan, said to be a Super Creation Emperor!"
"That’s why he dares to show no respect for you!"
After several days, the women had gained a fair understanding of the situation in Juexian City, otherwise how could they possibly know who Gongyang Taisun was before they had even entered the city?
"That guy has a thick face, and he’s also quite formidable, but Miss doesn’t like him and doesn’t want him to become Miss’s brother-in-law!" Bing Xiulan huffed, "So, brother-in-law, you must defeat that bastard and make him give up thoroughly!"
"Don’t talk nonsense," chided the women collectively. "Gongyang Taisun is also a Fifteen Aspects Sublimation King. How could you possibly be his match right now? This battle is anything but fair!"
Zhou Heng, however, waved his hand and said, "It doesn’t matter, let’s accept the challenge!"
"Husband!"
"Zhou Heng!"
The women tried to dissuade him, arguing that this was a pointless struggle.
Zhou Heng showed a confident smile. Having completely understood the secrets of Dharma Aspect in his battle with Bing Xinzhu, breaking through to Sublimation King was just within reach! As soon as he broke into the Sublimation King, he would surely reach the Nine Aspects level. Although he was still quite a way off from Fifteen Aspects, they would at least be in the same realm, and his aura could definitely affect Gongyang Taisun and level the gap in their powers.
He was by no means a man obsessed with keeping up appearances!
Seeing Zhou Heng speak so decisively, the women felt it inappropriate to continue their persuasions, so they went to consult with Huo Tian, hoping this Peerless Heavenly Maiden could stop Zhou Heng, but Huo Tian said there was no need to interfere.
Zhou Heng entered the Immortal Residence and began his closed-door cultivation to break through the Sublimation Realm.
This was a qualitative leap, not just an increase in Moon Wheels or Sun Wheels, but gaining an incarnation! Once he reached the Creation Realm, the Dharma Aspect could even convert to a true body, pushing his life force to a new height.
However, before forming the Dharma Aspect, he first had to compress the Sun Wheel, then let the power in the Sun Wheel erupt instantly to form the Dharma Aspect!
Zhou Heng had already grasped the true essence of the Dharma Aspect, so now he just needed to compress the Sun Wheel.
He began to dissolve twenty-one Sun Wheels, merging them into one.
With Taoist principles flowing in his mind, the twenty-one Sun Wheels slowly began to dissolve. However, this process was slow for two reasons: the robustness of the Sun Wheels could be compared to the level of Immortal Artifacts of the Sunshine Emperor, and the sheer number was too great, making it extremely difficult to control the dissolution of all these Sun Wheels simultaneously.
But this was merely a matter of time. Zhou Heng’s physique could no longer be compared with the women around him, but his perceptiveness was indeed exceptional, and multitasking was merely a trivial matter for him.
As time passed, his Sun Wheels gradually broke down, just like twenty-one shattered eggs placed in a pan, beginning their initial integration.
Eliminate the dross and keep the essence!
Zhou Heng was neither hasty nor impatient; haste makes waste.
Two days later, the twenty-one Sun Wheels had merged indistinguishably, but to say they had fused into one was still premature since the amalgam was too massive and irregular.
Further compression was necessary.
This process took another two days, and in his Dantian, there remained only a gleaming Sun Wheel, whose oppressive power was by no means less than the previous twenty-one Sun Wheels!
The first step was complete, and the next step was to form the Dharma Aspect!
In the Sublimation Realm’s Third Layer Heaven, the Dharma Aspect was divided into three levels, known as the Copper, Silver, and Gold Aspect. It wasn’t that the Copper Aspect had to be yellow or the Silver Aspect had to be silver; these were just names.
Sublimation King corresponds to the Copper Aspect.
A figure began to take shape in Zhou Heng’s Sea of Consciousness, his perceptiveness astonishing. Having comprehended the secret of the Dharma Aspect, the mysteries of the Sublimation Realm were no longer a mystery to him.
A silhouette’s outline formed within his Dantian, slowly becoming clearer until it was fully solidified and looked exactly like Zhou Heng.
Dharma Aspect, achieved!
Sublimation King!
Tremendous power circulated within him, with nature’s spiritual energy rushing in frantically—this place was Juexian City, after all, where the spiritual energy was incredibly abundant.
The second Dharma Aspect, the third Dharma Aspect, the fourth Dharma Aspect!
In Zhou Heng’s Dantian, one Dharma Aspect by one appeared, each seated in a lotus position in the void.
Nine Aspects!
Zhou Heng shuddered, and the frenzied flow of nature’s spiritual energy halted, now nurturing his body with a gentle drizzle.
Within the Dantian World, nine Dharma Aspects sat in a lotus position, each with a stern expression.
This was the extension of his Divine Sense; each Dharma Aspect was like an arm or a leg, sharing a bond deeper than that of blood. Regardless of how far the Dharma Aspect strayed from him, there was an inherent connection.
Zhou Heng opened his eyes, revealing a faint smile. Gongyang Taisun thought he could step on him? Just wait and see! (To be continued.
