Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 818 - 795: Slaying Bright Immortal (1/3)
Chapter 818: Chapter 795: Slaying Bright Immortal (1/3)
Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey were standing in the distance, both having heard the Ma Family Old Ancestor’s angry roar just now.
"Zhou, how do you always end up making enemies wherever you go?" the Black Donkey asked, puzzled.
"It’s natural!" Zhou Heng shrugged. "Just like your annoying nature!"
"Pah, I’m such an upright donkey, how am I annoying?" the Black Donkey vehemently denied.
"Donkey, don’t you think your words just have a strong stench of annoyance?" Zhou Heng sighed, smiling as he dodged the Black Donkey’s flying kick, his eyes looking towards the distant black pillar of light. "It seems even a Bright Immortal can’t break this formation!"
"No kidding, otherwise those two ugly guys wouldn’t have so much confidence!" the Black Donkey complained while glaring at Zhou Heng. Ever since Zhou Heng surpassed it in cultivation level, it couldn’t take advantage of him anymore.
"Which side are you on anyway?" Zhou Heng rolled his eyes.
The Black Donkey’s expression became serious and it said, "To be honest, if even they can’t handle it, then we’re in big trouble this time!"
Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. I feel like I can break this formation!"
"Really?" the Black Donkey, knowing Zhou Heng’s character, was immediately relieved. If Zhou Heng said so, he must be quite confident. The annoying donkey plopped down without any sense of decorum, exclaiming, "You should have said so earlier, you scared me so much my heart was pounding!"
"Get lost!"
Zhou Heng’s confidence came from the Five Elements Rune. The runes suppressing this grand formation originated from the Immortal Realm’s Heavenly Scripture. Others might not have a solution, but he was quite confident he could break it and perhaps even gain insights from it!
However, the prerequisite was that he could get close enough to the Array Eyes and observe the runes genuinely engraved there, rather than those manifested in this space.
After Zhou Heng explained the situation, the Black Donkey’s face drooped again, and it said, "What should we do then? There’s a Bright Immortal guarding over there, and you have a deep enmity with them. You’ll probably get killed the moment you run over! Let’s quickly run to the other pillar of light!"
Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "It’s fine! We can’t go there now, but the realm suppression here should have already started. I believe it won’t be long before everyone is reduced to the Sublimation Realm!"
The Black Donkey wasn’t stupid; it immediately realized and showed a mischievous grin, "Then, we’ll go rob them!"
"Can’t you aspire to more than just robbery?"
"Pah, don’t slander me, robbery is also a very noble profession with great prospects!"
Zhou Heng ignored the annoying donkey and simply sat cross-legged, waiting for the formation’s effects to continue. He only needed to sense the suppression on him as well, which would indicate that the grand formation’s suppression had reached the Sublimation Emperor.
In the same realm, he was confident he was unbeatable!
By then, his combat power would be essentially unaffected, and researching the runes wouldn’t have any impact.
One day passed, two days passed. Although the two Chi Wei seemed to speak casually, as if this grand formation could annihilate everyone instantly, the truth was that even with the suppression of the Heavenly Scripture Runes, the realm suppression wasn’t a simple matter.
It wasn’t until the ninth day that Zhou Heng suddenly felt an intense discomfort.
This feeling was similar to when he reached the Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal level and experienced the rejection of the Mortal Realm’s heaven and earth, being out of sync with the world at all times. However, this time it wasn’t the rejection of heaven and earth, but the formation’s suppression, aiming to cut down his realm!
This is the moment!
"Donkey, wait for me here. Come over when I signal!" Zhou Heng said, as he leapt out.
"You go ahead, I never intended to follow for something so dangerous!" the Black Donkey said, completely lacking in righteousness.
Zhou Heng stumbled, nearly falling over.
That annoying donkey!
A few minutes later, he arrived before the pillar of light, within a hundred feet of it.
Although several days had passed, the Old Ancestors of the Ma and Tai families hadn’t figured anything out, yet their realms had been forcibly lowered, making even their heart and mind cultivation unable to hide their signs of anxiety.
"Zhou Heng!" The three Tai Yuan couldn’t help but call out when they saw Zhou Heng.
"Zhou Heng?" The Ma Family Old Ancestor immediately stopped his research on the black pillar of light. His current mood was anxious and irritable, and Zhou Heng’s appearance suddenly gave him an outlet for his bad mood.
"Kid, are you the one who killed Ma Yu?" He looked coldly at Zhou Heng.
Zhou Heng smiled faintly and said, "Old man, I advise you not to seek death! Otherwise, once I make a move, I won’t hold back!"
"Hahaha, a mere Sublimation Emperor dares to challenge this old man, truly arrogant!" The Ma Family Old Ancestor said grimly. His realm had been reduced, but one thing remained unchanged: he still had a Bright Immortal-level Divine Sense!
This meant he could unleash a Bright Immortal-level aura!
Unless one is a Martial King, imposing one’s aura has little impact on martial artists of the same realm. However, for those of a lower realm, it’s a surefire method just like Zhou Heng’s Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon, which can even affect martial artists one realm higher!
"Old man, there’s only one chance. If you’re looking for death, I won’t stop you!" Zhou Heng strode toward the black light pillar, feeling increasingly out of place. This stirred a spontaneous resistance within his Spiritual Power, now boiling like the ocean.
"A life for a life, die for me!" The Old Ancestor of the Ma Family snorted coldly, his aura surged as he reached out to grab Zhou Heng.
His current realm had already fallen to the level equivalent to a Fifteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor, completely matching Zhou Heng’s realm. Thus, relying purely on strength to suppress a Sublimation Emperor who surpassed the limits was unrealistic; he had to use aura suppression.
The Black Sword lightly trembled, yet Zhou Heng’s bold strides didn’t pause in the slightest!
The Old Ancestor of the Ma Family lunged forward, his hand swiftly grasping Zhou Heng’s shoulder as he found himself unable to change his move.
Boom!
Zhou Heng punched in response, generating a violent shockwave that spread in all directions. Fortunately, with the realm reduction, everyone here became Sublimation Emperors, only differing in the number of Dharma Aspects. Otherwise, one shockwave from a Bright Immortal expert could crush a Sublimation Emperor hundreds of times over.
Bam bam bam, both Zhou Heng and the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family simultaneously retreated over ten steps.
With the realm reduced, their power was astonishingly identical, so without using Immortal Techniques, their explosive battle power was naturally completely equal.
Old Ancestor Tai of the Tai Family involuntarily hesitated; others may not have realized the realm reduction, but he and the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family felt it keenly. Yet, despite the realm drop, why did the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family still clash head-on with Zhou Heng instead of using aura suppression?
At their level, results were all that mattered, regardless of whether it was bullying the weak or a fair fight.
Yet, the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family actually didn’t use aura suppression but chose to collide head-on with Zhou Heng, which was deeply puzzling to him.
What he didn’t know was that the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family did attempt to use aura suppression, but it had no effect on Zhou Heng, who possessed the Black Sword!
The Old Ancestor of the Ma Family looked at Zhou Heng in astonishment, even losing the battle power of a Four Aspects Bright Immortal. Yet, the oppressive aura remained, why was it completely ineffective against the opponent?
This was simply unimaginable!
If aura alone couldn’t suppress Zhou Heng, then it would depend on the Immortal Techniques each had mastered!
"Boy, resisting Old Ancestor’s aura will do you no good; killing you is still at my fingertips!" The Old Ancestor of the Ma Family shouted angrily, reaching out again for Zhou Heng. This time he activated an Immortal Technique, and his entire arm transformed into a black iron form.
"Your bragging breaks the sky!" Zhou Heng laughed heartily, his fists swelling as Five Elements Rune appeared, unleashing a radiant Divine Radiance.
Bam!
The Old Ancestor of the Ma Family was forcibly blasted back dozens of meters, spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.
The destructive, lethal, explosive power of the Five Elements Rune was far beyond what ordinary Immortal Techniques could achieve. It was nurtured by the natural world, far surpassing any human wisdom!
The so-called Cultivation Technique is essentially about guessing and utilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth. In a sense, it can be called a Heavenly Scripture, though its power might be equivalent to a Broken Rune, tens, or hundreds, yet how could it compare to the real Heavenly Scripture?
With the Chaos Heavenly Scripture in operation, Zhou Heng erupted with a terrifying aura, like a Heavenly God descending, bathed in Divine Radiance!
He strode towards the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family; once enmity was established, future troubles must be eliminated completely!
The Old Ancestor of the Ma Family retreated continuously, coughing blood repeatedly, a true tale of a tiger caught by dogs in flat land. Imagine, a dignified Four Aspects Bright Immortal fearing a mere Sublimation Emperor; it was beyond absurd!
"Young friend, we are all in peril now. We must cooperate and avoid self-destruction!" The Old Ancestor Tai finally intervened, unable to stand by as Zhou Heng slaughtered the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family.
From his perspective, offering mediation was reasonable—everyone was indeed in danger, and unity was the most sensible course.
Zhou Heng glanced at him contemptuously, saying, "Why didn’t you advise him when he made his move?"
This?
Old Ancestor Tai fell silent. In his opinion, what use was a mere Sublimation Emperor? Could he help break the great formation? Impossible! Given that, it was natural to let the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family vent, then focus on a solution together.
In the eyes of a Bright Immortal, what difference was there between a Sublimation Emperor and an ant? The death of one, ten, a hundred was meaningless!
But never did he expect this little Sublimation Emperor could resist the pressure from a Bright Immortal’s level, and even mastered terrifying Immortal Techniques to turn the tide!
Zhou Heng wielded the Black Sword, eyes filled with killing intent. If Old Ancestor Tai continued to babble, he didn’t mind ending both!
"Brother Tai!" The Old Ancestor of the Ma Family called out; even the exalted Bright Immortal felt the end approaching. He never thought his death would not be due to failing to break through the Stellar Realm and exhausting his lifespan, but instead, humiliatingly at the hands of a Sublimation Emperor.
Old Ancestor Tai turned his face away, pretending not to see.
Swish, black Sword Qi flashed, and the Old Ancestor of the Ma Family collapsed to the ground, a pool of blood spreading beneath him. (To be continued.
