Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 207 - 200 Great Eternal Emperor (1/5)

Chapter 207: Chapter 200 Great Eternal Emperor (1/5)

Zhou Heng sighed. Why were some people so difficult to communicate with, as if they were idiots?

But, to kill all the members of the Zhao Family?

Zhou Heng’s gaze turned icy. It didn’t matter what happens to other members of the Zhao Family, but his mother, Zhao Kexin, was also part of the Zhao Family!

Whoever dared to harm his relatives would die, it was that simple!

Death!

He hurled a punch, and his vigorous Qi formed a solid fist that smashed towards Ying Huoxin.

Open Heaven Realm against Land Cleaving Realm was an absolute crushing defeat, especially when the Open Heaven Realm was a freak of nature like Zhou Heng!

Where the punch passed, Ying Huoxin’s entire body exploded violently, dying without a complete corpse.

Zhou Heng didn’t care in the slightest. His gaze fixed on Nangong Changkong and the other person, it was time for them to depart!

Nangong Changkong and the other regretted immensely. Why did they fortify the imperial palace so solidly that not a drop of water could get through, leaving no way for them to escape!

The defense was easy to activate, but extremely complex to remove. They originally hadn’t planned for a quick disengagement but had set up a secret path as a last resort. Now, it had become a trap that sealed their own doom!

Zhou Heng dared to publicly execute the Ying Family members, so what were these two worth!

Curse it, how could this kid be such a monster, leaping from the Land Cleaving Realm to the Open Heaven Realm in just a few months!

As high-tier experts of the Open Heaven Realm, they naturally wouldn’t just stand there waiting for death, they must struggle even if facing their demise, both glared at Zhou Heng with indignation, as if they had suffered the greatest injustice.

All the guests sighed in their hearts. From today on, the power distribution in the Cold Blue Country was going to undergo earth-shattering changes. The dynasty that belonged to the Nangong Clan was coming to an end, to be replaced by a vibrant and promising young king!

"Zhou Heng, don’t be so smug, there will always be someone who can deal with you!" Nangong Changkong shouted fiercely.

"Hmph, at least it’s not you two!" Zhou Heng had no interest in further idle talk, and the Black Sword was summoned.

Kill!

With all his might, Nangong Changkong, Liu Qingxuan stood no chance at resistance and in a blink of an eye, became souls under his sword.

The palace’s defenses slowly retracted, and everyone started to leave one after another with shock yet to settle in their hearts. What was supposed to be a trap to kill Zhou Heng turned into a grave for Nangong Changkong and the others, a profound irony indeed.

But they also witnessed the rise of a new king, which was enough for them to discuss heatedly for a long time.

Zhou Heng, taking Xiao Huoshui with him, left. He had no interest in power. Although many people wanted to curry favor with the newcomer, no one had the opportunity.

...

Starting the next day, the news of the demise of the three high-tier Open Heaven Realm experts spread like wildfire throughout the imperial capital. At first, many people couldn’t believe it. Zhou Heng was a freak, but it seemed impossible for him to reach such a level!

However, as time went by, the news spread further and wider, and with neither the Heavenly Star Sect nor the Nangong Royal Family coming out to clarify or defend, disbelief turned into reluctant belief.

Zhou Heng’s name resonated throughout the Cold Blue Country, and even the surrounding countries heard of this young expert’s exploits. The Water Origin Country, Baidian Country, and Tuluuo Country, which had dealings with Zhou Heng, were all in turmoil, uncertain if Zhou Heng would start a war.

Lu Chenfu, using Zhou Heng’s name, started a company. The reputation of an Open Heaven Realm expert was incredibly useful, and coupled with her own substantial capital and genius-level business acumen, she would surely be able to establish a foothold in the Cold Blue Country in a short time.

Zhou Heng didn’t mind. Thanks to this, he would receive fifty percent of the Lu Family’s commercial profits.

He was indeed short on money. The Gold Devouring Clan’s physique was a bottomless pit when it came to spending. He didn’t know how much high-tier metal he needed to refine to achieve great success. Robbing all the time was no way to live!

The cage in the imperial palace meant to imprison him was dismantled by him, all made of Open Heaven Realm materials, which was precisely what he needed!

These materials represented thousands of years of accumulation by the Heavenly Star Sect. Although not as precious as a Magic Artifact, it was of no concern to Zhou Heng. After all, they were destined to be refined by him.

The accumulation of a sect over thousands of years must not be taken lightly. Zhou Heng spent three days to refine all those metals completely, advancing his body strength in one fell swoop to the level of the Open Heaven Realm.

Now, even if an Open Heaven Realm Magic Artifact smashed hard onto him, it would hardly harm him, effectively making him a humanoid magical weapon, and one of the Open Heaven Realm level at that!

Even Mountains and Rivers Realm experts would find it difficult to destroy an Open Heaven Realm Magic Artifact. This meant that although Zhou Heng didn’t have the credentials to challenge Mountains and Rivers Realm experts, even if he stood still and let a Mountains and Rivers Realm expert attack him, it would take countless hits to inflict any damage on him.

Moreover, physique was not limited by realm. As long as he had enough high-tier metal to refine, he could possess the physique of Mountains and Rivers Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, or even Divinity Transformation Realm right now!

At that point, although his battle power would still be at Open Heaven Realm, there would not be a person in the world who could harm him!

Therefore, he needed a large amount of Spirit Stones to purchase vast quantities of rare metals to fill his bottomless pit.

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Zhou Heng openly killed two members of the Ying Family but did not flee; instead, he brazenly resided in the Imperial Capital, exuding an aura of defiantly confronting any storm that may come his way.

The Yue Family indeed sent a high-tier Open Heaven Realm expert to capture Zhou Heng, but since they were far too inferior in status compared to the Ying Family, they had no right to appear within the Imperial Palace. Now that Open Heaven Realm expert was secretly relieved.

Thank goodness Ying Mingyuan didn’t give him face, otherwise, wouldn’t he also be rushing towards the Yellow Springs with them?

He absolutely did not want to be part of that team!

The envoy from the Yue Family had already fled the Imperial Capital overnight, and it was estimated that they would no longer trouble Zhou Heng in the future. After all, the Yue Family also only had Mountains and Rivers Realm experts, and it was debatable whether they could suppress Zhou Heng or not!

Since they never directly went against Zhou Heng, it was better to stop here rather than suffer greater losses!

Zhou Heng did not rest for a single day, on one hand, he had Ruan Jiaying continue purchasing precious metals for him, and on the other hand, he went to the Heavenly Star Sect’s collection of Martial Arts Techniques, browsing through a hundred schools of peerless techniques in hopes of breaking through his current realm and reaching the heights of the Domain.

Although money wasn’t omnipotent, it could unquestionably solve many problems. Zhou Heng spent all day at the Heavenly Star Sect and occasionally went back to refine the metals delivered by Ruan Jiaying.

The Ying Family would certainly not let bygones be bygones, and he had to prepare for a fierce battle.

According to his speculation, the Ying Family would only send a Mountains and Rivers Realm expert next time.

Humans are a strange animal that tends to believe what they see. No matter how much the rumors exaggerated Zhou Heng’s strength, those who hadn’t witnessed it with their own eyes would be extremely skeptical.

The Ying Family would naturally not put aside their grudge and would definitely come to cause him trouble, but the likelihood of deploying a Mountains and Rivers Realm level Martial Artist accounted for 90%!

—Even the Ying Family, how many Divinity Transformation Realm supreme experts could they have? To mobilize such a large force, traveling thousands of miles from Bright Moon Country for a mere Open Heaven Realm youngster?

Mountains and Rivers Realm, Zhou Heng did not fear!

From the time the news reached Bright Moon Country to the Ying Family’s response and sending someone over, it would take at least a month’s time. Although Zhou Heng was not afraid of the Mountains and Rivers Realm, he similarly could do nothing against an expert of that tier, therefore he must continuously strengthen himself!

If you don’t want to be bullied, it’s simple, either have a powerful force behind you or possess a powerful strength yourself.

Zhou Heng would never rely on any power, so he must possess such strength himself.

Two days later, Ruan Jiaying came to visit.

This Miss Zi Xing, dubbed the number one beauty of Cold Blue Country, was still sweet and beautiful, saying with a smile, "Congratulations to Young Master Zhou for becoming the number one expert in Cold Blue Country. If you wish, you can don the imperial robe and become the supreme ruler."

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, "The emperors of the mortal world are nothing special; I certainly do not wish for such trouble!"

Ruan Jiaying giggled covering her mouth, shaking her head, "That’s not necessarily true. In the past, the Great Eternal Emperor suppressed all the lands far and wide, revered by all under heaven. At his command, no one dared to disobey! Young Master Zhou is so gifted at a young age, perhaps one day you will be the second emperor to unify the world!"

"Hmm?" Zhou Heng showed a hint of surprise. Wasn’t the Xuanqian Continent united under one rule now?

"Young Master Zhou thinks that the Heavenly Dragon Empire is the only sovereign under heaven, right?" Ruan Jiaying spoke softly, this woman had traveled across the entire Cold Blue Country talking about the art of tea, which is why she had become so famous as the number one beauty, something no other beauties had achieved.

"Isn’t that so?"

"Although it might be a secret among lesser dynasties and countries, it is not a secret among the royal families and imperial dynasties; there is no harm in letting Young Master Zhou know," Ruan Jiaying paused for a moment before continuing, "In the Ancient Era, the whole continent was filled with numerous nations, but during the period when the Martial Path began to decline, there emerged a supreme king. He was exceedingly powerful, uniting the nations, revered by all tribes, known as the Great Eternal Emperor!"

"At that time, the Martial Path was at its peak, and several Divinity Transformation Realm big shots emerged in succession, but the Primordial Emperor suppressed them single-handedly, with unmatched divine might!"

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be lost in admiration; what a distinguished figure he must have been, to suppress eternal wilderness and united the lands with a name that would echo through the ages!

Would such a person have blasted through the heavens and ascended to immortality?

"After the era of the Great Eternal Emperor came to an end, the Martial Path suddenly declined from its peak, and no other peerless individuals from the Divinity Transformation Realm appeared. The Heavenly Dynasty established by the Great Eternal Emperor also crumbled in the river of history, split into three, forming three vast dynasties!"

Zhou Heng was taken aback, "The Heavenly Dragon Empire is only one of the Three Great Dynasties?"

"Exactly, the other two dynasties are the Heavenly Demon Dynasty and the Night Demon Dynasty!" Ruan Jiaying said with a smile. Before Zhou Heng could ask, she explained, "The Xuanqian Continent is not only inhabited by humans! As I have mentioned before, the great diverse tribes were suppressed by the Great Eternal Emperor, and the human race was just one of them. Without the arrival of such a peerless figure as the Great Eternal Emperor, the human race wasn’t actually outstanding among the tribes!"

Zhou Heng fully agreed with this. Having acquired the essence blood of the Gold Devouring Clan, he was well aware of how powerful this alien race was! And in the underground world, the one with bat-like wings was equally unfathomable!

"Due to the Great Eternal Emperor, the human race became a top force on the continent, with the Demon Clan just below them. This race has wings on its back and can fly in the skies, giving them a significant advantage in combat."

"Different from the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty that only includes humans, the Heavenly Demon Dynasty comprises many races with the Demon Clan as the reigning power!"(To be continued...
