Chapter 339: Chapter 327: Slaying the Divine Infant Realm (1/3)

What kind of existence is a Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch?

If there were a high mountain blocking the path, then when he walked by, the high mountain would collapse! Could such a terrifying expert stumble and fall for some reason?

Yet, the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch not only fell but also crashed solidly onto the ground, sprawled out as if paying homage to someone!

This was an unparalleled expert of the Divine Infant Realm who, in an era when no Heavenly Venerates of Divinity Transformation Realm had appeared, was absolutely the strongest in the world. How could he submit to someone else, and in such a humiliating manner?

But facts overruled rhetoric, seeing is believing, the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch was still lying on the ground in a very soul-crushing posture, no matter how eloquently one tried to describe it.

Zhou Heng!

Was this guy pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, actually a Heavenly Venerate of the Divinity Transformation Realm?

No, impossible!

Everyone shook their heads at the same time. Who among them wasn’t a champion of their respective regions, with discerning eyes? They had all witnessed Zhou Heng’s fight with Yang Zhan before; at that time, Zhou Heng was definitely only at the First Layer Heaven of the Spirit Sea Realm!

Could such a short time span allow one to ascend to heaven in a single step and advance into the Divinity Transformation Realm?

Absolutely impossible!

But since he wasn’t a Heavenly Venerate of the Divinity Transformation Realm, how did he achieve this?

The inheritance of the Three Yang Heavenly Venerate!

That Treasure Pagoda!

Could it be that just approaching that Treasure Pagoda would strip one of their mobility, leaving them like a dead dog to be slaughtered at will? Hiss, even a Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch was powerless to resist—how could this defy the heavens to such an extent?

Envy, jealousy!

Now that the Martial Path was in decline, a Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch could dominate the world, and Zhou Heng could easily subdue the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch, meaning he was unrivaled in the world!

Unrivaled in the world!

How many people dreamt of this? Yet, truly reaching the pinnacle, through tens of thousands of years, there had been only one person, recognized as being unmatched in the world and stunning throughout history! That was the Great Eternal Emperor!

Could Zhou Heng be the second Great Eternal Emperor?

Countless people compared Zhou Heng with the Great Eternal Emperor, but only a few from extremely prestigious families knew that Zhou Heng was actually a descendant of the Great Eternal Emperor! This lineage had been silent for countless years; was it finally going to rise powerfully again?

Under the gaze of all, Zhou Heng stepped towards him, clang, and in his hand was a Black Broken Sword!

What is this guy planning to do?

He couldn’t be thinking of killing the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch, could he?

But even if he obtained a treasure of the Divinity Transformation Realm, his own strength was merely at the Spirit Sea Realm, how could he kill a Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch? He couldn’t even break the defense of a Divine Infant Realm expert, let alone injure or kill them!

Having the inheritance from the Divinity Transformation Realm didn’t mean he was at the Divinity Transformation Realm!

"Junior, what dirty trick are you using?" the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch, unable to move or even operate his Divine Sense, couldn’t inflict damage with his divine might; he could only watch Zhou Heng coldly.

Like everyone else, he didn’t believe Zhou Heng could kill or even injure him, so naturally, he feared nothing but harbored endless resentment!

He was a prestigious Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch, yet he lay prostrate before a minor warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm. Even if he dismembered Zhou Heng into thousands of pieces later, it could never wash away this humiliation!

This disgrace was destined to follow him for his entire life!

Zhou Heng didn’t reply, but simply vibrated the Black Sword, the method of Sky-soaring Nine Forms circulating in his mind, and his entire being suddenly emitted the resonant sound of the Great Dao, as if he was nature itself, chanting the various principles of the world.

All who heard it were struck with insight; even Saint Yangtian, Yuan Shixiang, and these other exceptional experts were no exception. The usual frustrations in their cultivation seemed to open up suddenly, certainly gaining some benefit.

"This, this, this is——" Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch’s eyes swirled with the Sun and Moon Totem, and his aura suddenly became wild, like a calm sea whipped up by a hurricane!

"Hahahaha, I’ve grasped the mystery of the Divinity Transformation Realm, I can breakthrough now!" he suddenly laughed wildly, "At most ten years! At most ten years, I will definitely step into the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

The Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch already stood at the peak of the Divine Infant Third Layer Heaven, but he had lamented the absence of an inheritance from the Divinity Transformation Realm, never being able to take the most crucial step.

But from the Great Dao aura emanating from Zhou Heng, he saw his chance for a breakthrough!

Searching endlessly without a clue, yet now it fell into his lap without effort!

"Junior, you have many secrets on you, very good, I will force them all out of you one by one; all of this is mine!" Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch coldly sneered, his severe humiliation replaced by the chance to break into the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"You won’t make it to that day!" Zhou Heng said coldly as well, unleashing his Black Sword, and executing the Sky-soaring Nine Forms!

One Form, two forms, three forms, four forms... successive black sword shadows connected heaven and earth. When Zhou Heng unleashed the Eighth Form, his internal Spiritual Power was completely depleted, leaving him unable to initiate the Ninth Form, merely combining into a single strike.

Slash!

Shoo, shoo, shoo, all of the black sword shadows merged instantly into a pure Black Sword, slashing towards the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch.

Whoosh!

The sword shadow swept past, and the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch was unharmed as if the sword had been a mere shadow without any force.

"Youngster, you cannot possibly injure me. Your existence only serves to gift me a tremendous opportunity—," the loud laughter of the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch abruptly stopped, his face turning pale as a deep red streak of blood appeared on his neck!

He stared intently at Zhou Heng, the brilliance in his eyes rapidly fading. His head slowly slid off and with a thud, it rolled off his neck as hot blood spurted out.

The life of the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch swiftly ended, his Divine Sense extinguished, completely dispersing into the cosmos!

Such a dignified Heavenly Monarch from the Ancient Times, forced by cataclysmic changes and in pursuit of the opportunity to become an immortal, had sealed himself for tens of thousands of years! Hardly had he awakened from his long slumber, when his first battle ended in death!

He died so casually, unable to unleash any special moves, and simply perished!

Utter silence reigned in the arena!

A Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch had died! Had there been any precedent of a Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch dying in battle in nearly ten thousand years?

That man!

Not only could he suppress those of the Divine Infant Realm, he could even slay them!

He truly was invincible!

The crowd’s gaze towards Zhou Heng grew increasingly reverent. They didn’t know precisely what had occurred, but in this world that only valued outcomes without regarding the process, the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch indeed had been defeated and killed by Zhou Heng!

That was enough!

A new Great Eternal Emperor had already stood proudly among them!

Zhou Heng had no time to enjoy those gazes of endless reverence, unable to even rise to jealousy. His hand was clutching an upper-grade Spirit Stone, intensively refining it to maintain enough strength to stand.

Huo Tian, as a proper haughty queen, naturally wouldn’t come over to help him at this time, only fiddling with a small bronze mirror. Instead, An Yumei and Han Yulian came to Zhou Heng’s side, seemingly leaning against him, but actually allowing him to focus his weight on them to fully concentrate on refining the Spirit Stone and recovering his strength.

Silence. It was still completely silent!

Under such a profound shock, not a sound could be heard, the death of a Divine Infant Realm Old Ancestor being struck down in one hit was something utterly laughable if spoken aloud!

"That woman... could she be the alien race woman from the Death Forest?"

"Exactly, back then, although that woman simply wiped out a Nascent Soul Realm expert casually, considering the terrifying power she released, it’s not impossible for her to strike down a Divine Infant Realm being with a single blow!"

"That alien race woman also had a man by her side, and though their appearances are completely different, but... changing appearances is quite easy for us!"

"Right now, even though that woman is wearing a hat, hiding her true appearance and without any wings or tail visible, even I cannot see through her depths! This means, she either truly has no power, or..."

"she is a top expert of the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

In the sky, Saint Yangtian, Yuan Shixiang, and another Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor Yin Quan communicated through Divine Sense, all arising with great awe!

Back when they fought over the Nine Suns Vitality Grass, Yuan Shixiang was personally on the scene. Although everyone had changed their appearances, making it impossible to identify anyone, traces could still be deduced afterward.

Back then, Nalan Yaoyue suppressed countless experts single-handedly with unmatched divine might. The disparity was more than a little, leaving Saint Yangtian and his disciples with absolutely no desire for rivalry.

It was over ten minutes later that Zhou Heng regained some vitality, and by then, the surrounding people had finally recovered from their shock, starting to whisper and discuss this surprising outcome of the battle.

Rumbling, the colossal ship in the sky slowly turned and began flying again.

Thinking of fleeing?

Zhou Heng snorted, took out the Blazing Heaven Wings, and whoosh, he soared into the sky. With his wings spreading, he broke through the air, as fast as a flash of light, and in the blink of an eye, he was already atop the void ship.

Saint Yangtian and the two others could fly through the void just as could Sang Qingshan, Ice Phoenix Lady, and Yang Zhan, who could also walk on air, albeit at a slower pace, but presumably all had flying artifacts for travel. Yet none of them took to the air.

This was their way of showing respect to Zhou Heng, none daring to compete with him for the spoils of war!

After all, the corpse of the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch was not yet cold. Who would want to be the next?

Thud, Zhou Heng’s body landed, appearing on the deck of the void ship.

"You little wretch, I die at your hand today, and I hold deep hatred towards you!" the Sect Master of the Poisonous Blood Sect, Qi Lianying, showed himself with a ferocious face, his gaze filled with resentment as he looked at Zhou Heng.

He truly held deep and bitter hatred towards Zhou Heng!

His only son had died by Zhou Heng’s hand, a grave hatred indeed! And not long before, the sect’s ancient Old Ancestor had been revived, bringing a void ship, a powerful weapon, giving him hope of reviving the Poisonous Blood Sect. But now, that hope was being strangled by Zhou Heng!

"I am doomed to die, but this Imperial Capital shall be buried with my sect!" Qi Lianying’s eyes turned red, and he shouted, "Fire the cannons, destroy everything!"

Now, all the sect members of the Poisonous Blood Sect were indeed on this void ship. Since they were destined to die today, they might as well go all out!

Zhou Heng snorted coldly. The Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon activated, and buzz, his terrifying aura instantly spread outward, crack crack crack, regardless of whether they were visible or not, everyone on the ship fell to their knees, trembling under his formidable presence!

Bang! Bang!

Two Spirit Light Cannons, however, were suddenly fired, the white-hot orbs carrying destructive energy, booming down below!

This void ship was truly too large, even Zhou Heng’s presence could not completely cover it. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) or purchase a monthly pass. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
