Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 330 - 318: Black Sword Shard (1/3)

Chapter 330: Chapter 318: Black Sword Shard (1/3)

Zhou Heng was greatly shocked and quickly unfolded the Swift Cloud Radiant Step to chase after the Black Sword, his right hand reaching out to grasp the hilt, attempting to stop the Black Sword’s momentum!

Such a stunning woman, who could bear to harm her when even I feel pity and compassion, let alone an old servant?

However, the propulsion of the Black Sword was even faster than the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, and Zhou Heng couldn’t catch up at all, so he could only watch helplessly as the distance between him and the Black Sword grew larger. He let out a long howl, quickly using his Divine Sense to try to control the Black Sword, wanting to recall it back to his Dantian Space.

However, the Black Sword ignored his command completely, continuing its relentless flight toward the Peerless Heavenly Maiden without any pause.

"No—" Zhou Heng roared, uncertain whether it was because he couldn’t bear to see a peerless beauty splattered with blood before his eyes or because the Black Sword was not obeying his command, which infuriated him immensely.

A true ruler needs absolute control!

The Black Sword pierced forward, with the Broken Blade stopping barely half an inch from the peerless beauty’s snowy, smooth neck!

Boom!

Just then, a terrifying aura swept through, and as it engulfed the area, the Black Donkey was opening its mouth wide to bite into a Crystal Peach, but this aura made its limbs stiffen, and it clattered stiffly against the tree trunk.

A black shadow emerged from the chest of the Peerless Heavenly Maiden, and the momentum of the Black Sword instantly halted!

An indescribable regal and domineering aura whirled about, like a tsunami, far surpassing the intensity of the great battles among Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Infant Realm experts in the past Death Forest. It was an absolute terror that could suffocate even experts from the Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Infant Realm!

The Black Sword trembled continuously, its handle quivering as if a starved child was begging for food.

Connected by Divine Sense, Zhou Heng could easily sense the Black Sword’s closeness and even a trace of longing for the Peerless Heavenly Maiden.

What’s going on?

Could it be that this Black Sword once belonged to this Peerless Heavenly Maiden?

Zhou Heng wasn’t knocked unconscious by the mighty aura because his mind had always been connected with the Black Sword, which was enough to shield him from any attack at the Divine Sense level.

His eyes fixed on the Black Sword, he now understood that the Black Sword’s goal was not to kill the peerless beauty but to yearn for something.

The black light grew brighter, and the entire heaven and earth were filled with black sword shadows whirling endlessly!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Hum, an even deeper surge of black qi emerged from the chest of the Peerless Heavenly Maiden, and Zhou Heng’s gaze intensified, as it turned out to be a black sword fragment!

It wasn’t big, just about an inch long, pitch black, sharing the same lineage as the Black Sword.

The Black Sword trembled even more violently, as if releasing silent calls.

Clack!

This fragment of the Broken Sword instantly merged with the Black Sword, a dazzling black light flashing by, and the fragment of the Broken Blade was no longer to be seen, but the black Broken Sword had grown an inch longer!

Merged together!

Whoosh!

The Black Sword vanished in a flash, already back in Zhou Heng’s Dantian Space, bobbing gently, appearing immensely majestic and poised, no longer showing any urgency or impatience!

So it turns out that the Black Sword had always been seeking its own fragment, not the Crystal Peach after all!

No wonder it was so urgent!

To restore itself is something every sentient object yearns for.

All the terrifying aura vanished instantly, but the black light around the Peerless Heavenly Maiden did not dissipate; instead, it swirled around her continuously, causing her black hair to flutter wildly, adding an indescribable beauty.

She looked like an immortal descending from the nine heavens, her beauty ethereal to the extreme!

Even though Zhou Heng had reaffirmed his resolve, he was still mesmerized at first sight, wanting nothing more than to watch her for a lifetime!

—Just a phantom illusion was enough to make a promising Spiritual Sea Realm Expert infatuated, stopping their progress forever, and even led a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate to question his own gender. How stunning could she be?

Let alone her real body!

Ultimately, Zhou Heng was still Zhou Heng; he might not be the strongest in the world, but when it came to resoluteness of will, he was certainly among the very best. His spirit solidified in an instant, and he regained normality, his gaze towards the Peerless Heavenly Maiden filled more with admiration than obsession.

As the black light swirled, the core of the peach tree gradually withered, and the delicate body of the Peerless Heavenly Maiden slowly drifted down as if a ripe fruit was about to fall off from the branch.

Zhou Heng quickly stepped forward, his hands outstretched, catching the Peerless Heavenly Maiden.

Her fragrance filled his embrace, soft and boneless.

Zhou Heng felt as though he was holding an unrivaled treasure, treating her with great care, but he soon smiled, reminding himself that she was just a woman, albeit a stunningly beautiful one!

This beauty was somewhat excessive!

He looked down and revised his own opinion. If this woman was considered merely "somewhat beautiful," then were there even beauties in the world?

Was such beauty born only once in ten thousand years?

Her long eyelashes fluttered, her eyelids trembled, and Zhou Heng felt the blood in the woman in his arms suddenly accelerate.

He was about to wake up!

Zhou Heng’s mind was filled with curiosity, harboring many questions.

Was this woman the previous owner of the Black Sword? If not, why would there be a fragment of the Black Sword inside her body? Moreover, the Black Sword felt a considerable closeness to her; she couldn’t possibly be harmed by the previous owner of the Black Sword and have a shard left inside her.

She must have been in this place for tens of thousands of years, but how is she still alive?

An Immortal?

Zhou Heng felt a twitch in his face. How imposing and talented was the Great Eternal Emperor, yet he still had to compete with many Divinity Transformation Heavenly Venerates for the chance to Become Immortal! And now, Immortals were popping out one after another, making the Divinity Transformation Heavenly Venerates seem even more rare. What was this all about?

On the body of the Peerless Heavenly Maiden, Zhou Heng could not feel the slightest aura, as if she were a person so ordinary it couldn’t be more so.

Her eyelids fluttered, and she opened her eyes—clearly defined in black and white. Her pupils looked like two of the finest black pearls, glistening and pure, untouched by the dust of the world.

She was already indescribably beautiful, but with her eyes now opened, her charm exponentially increased!

Pure as water, bright as the moon!

The Peerless Heavenly Maiden quietly looked at Zhou Heng. After a while, she extended her arms, white as snow lotuses, and wrapped them around Zhou Heng’s neck, moving her body to snuggle deeper into his embrace, seemingly to find a more comfortable position to continue sleeping.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhou Heng quickly intervened. Although holding this beauty was a great pleasure, there were more important things at hand, and his mind was full of questions!

"Huh?" The Peerless Beauty was woken up, a displeased expression on her pretty face. After she gave him a cold glance, Zhou Heng almost felt the impulse to die as an apology! She looked at Zhou Heng with a puzzled gaze, her eyes showing confusion.

"Who are you?" Zhou Heng asked solemnly.

"Huh! Eh?" the Peerless Heavenly Maiden uttered in strange syllables, her confusion deepening.

Zhou Heng was getting frustrated, "Can’t you speak?"

"Ya ya ya!" the Peerless Heavenly Maiden exclaimed in monosyllables, similar to a babbling infant.

Her black hair cascaded down, and she was wrapped in a massive peach blossom petal that clung to her temptingly celestial body, with her slender waist and ample chest clearly visible, all while emitting a faint fragrance of peach blossoms—it was unclear whether it was her natural scent or from the petals.

Zhou Heng suddenly had a bold guess. Could this woman be nurtured by the immense Crystal Peach Mother Tree?

Everything has a spirit, and the enormity of the mother tree completely exceeded human imagination. Zhou Heng would absolutely believe it if you said it had become a spirit. So what’s so strange about such an ancient tree gathering the essence of heaven and earth to birth a living being?

If even the Black Donkey could come into existence, what else is impossible?

"Who are you?" Zhou Heng asked, making gestures as he spoke, but then he smirked bitterly, realizing he didn’t know sign language.

The Peerless Heavenly Maiden stepped out of Zhou Heng’s embrace and started walking on the tree trunk barefoot, suddenly bursting into laughter, her feet tapping as if amused by it.

Zhou Heng, hand on forehead, had just gotten Ying Mengfan back to normal, was he now dealing with another child?

This Peerless Heavenly Maiden was shrouded in mystery, but she couldn’t even speak; how could they communicate!

"Ah!" a scream. The Black Donkey suddenly jumped up, its hooves frenziedly digging at the ground, and it hit a tree trunk head-on, bouncing back and landing on its hindquarters.

"Zhou, I had a nightmare just now that you ate the Crystal Peach!" The Black Donkey saw the two Crystal Peaches still hanging intact on the branch and breathed a sigh of relief, wiping its forehead as if wiping sweat.

Zhou Heng’s expression darkened, "Do you think I am like you?"

"Heh heh heh!" Knowing it was at fault, the Black Donkey quickly turned away, but then it saw the Peerless Heavenly Maiden.

It suddenly bristled as if it had seen a ghost, jumping three feet high and exclaiming, "This woman is actually real!" It also recognized that the woman was the one they had seen in the misty illusion before, and also one seen by the Three Yang Heavenly Venerate tens of thousands of years ago.

A person who should have died countless years ago was alive and well, how could it not be startled!

This wasn’t something sealed in the Temporal Origin Liquid!

"Hm?" When the Peerless Heavenly Maiden saw the Black Donkey, she seemed to have found a fun toy and immediately flashed a charming smile, walking towards the Black Donkey with delicate steps.

"Zhou, help, I’m paralyzed with her gaze on me, I can’t move at all!" the Black Donkey screamed.

"You horny donkey!" When he saw a beauty, even his legs went weak; this wretched donkey really had no backbone!

"This is a Demon Girl!" whack, the Black Donkey collapsed against the tree trunk, a perfect prostration, unable to lift its head.

The Peerless Heavenly Maiden walked up to the Black Donkey, her delicate feet gliding over its smooth, soft fur, soon losing interest and turned towards Zhou Heng, yawning, and looking rather sleepy.

As she walked a dozen feet away, the Black Donkey suddenly jumped up, his face filled with panic, "Zhou, she’s definitely a demon girl, I couldn’t even stand up when she was near!"

"You horny donkey, stop making excuses!" Zhou Heng said disdainfully, how come he was fine?

The Black Donkey shouted in anger, yelling, "Don’t insult my donkey dignity!"

"You are a donkey without any moral limits, talking about ethics and character with you is like playing the lute to a cow!"

"Woof, I am going to explode!" the Black Donkey charged at Zhou Heng, but as soon as it entered a ten-foot radius of the Peerless Heavenly Maiden, it collapsed to the ground, perfectly prostrating.

This time, Zhou Heng also couldn’t help but feel puzzled.(To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
