Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 344 - 332 Void Ship Deterrence (3/3)

Chapter 344: Chapter 332 Void Ship Deterrence (3/3)

As soon as Zhou Heng spoke, the human army burst into laughter, while the two allied forces glared furiously, wishing they could shoot Zhou Heng through the heart with a thousand arrows.

"What an arrogant kid!" Yingshan Muzhi scoffed coldly, sweeping his gaze over him with a disdainful expression.

He was a Nascent Soul Realm Elder!

Zhou Heng was wearing a Stealth Talisman, but his appearance was anything but low-key, exuding flashiness with Golden Light surging above his head, constantly forming little golden figures—it was as if he was telling everyone that he was about to enter the Nascent Soul Realm.

To low-tier Martial Artists, those in the Spirit Sea Realm who had manifested their Divine Sense versus those who hadn’t were entirely different levels, but to Nascent Soul experts, there was no difference at all!

They were all mere ants!

The strength of Divine Senses varied greatly, with as much disparity as between heaven and earth, let alone those whose Divine Sense had fully matured and transformed?

No matter what, they were all just in the Spirit Sea Realm!

Without having entered the Nascent Soul, what right did one have to be on equal footing with the Nascent Soul Realm?

Thus, upon seeing Zhou Heng’s audacious attitude, Yingshan Muzhi naturally felt a surge of anger rise in his heart and reached out directly towards Zhou Heng, a massive palm already appearing in front of Zhou Heng as he struck fiercely!

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Night Demon is the strongest!"

"Heavenly Demon is invincible!"

The alien army shouted loudly, cheering on Yingshan Muzhi. The momentum in a battle between the two armies was crucial.

With a flash of black light, Zhou Heng, holding the Black Sword, swung the Flying Waterfall Sword Technique, sending barrages of waterfall shadows towards the giant hand.

The Nascent Soul Elder’s Divine Sense was incredibly strong, but even the strongest had its limits. Yingshan Muzhi was at least three or four li away from Zhou Heng; that his Divine Sense could reach such a distance was terrifying enough, but it was indeed the end of its strength.

Launching a Divine Sense attack from such an extreme distance naturally reduced its power, which was why Zhou Heng dared to contest it head-on rather than dodging.

The Black Sword moved through like a fire burning the heavens over the snow, instantly vaporizing whatever was ice or snow!

Boom!

The hand formed by Yingshan Muzhi’s Divine Sense and Spiritual Power immediately dispersed, reverting to nature’s spiritual energy dissipating into the environment.

In response, a cheer erupted from the human army, while the two great allied armies fell silent. Although this did not signify Yingshan Muzhi’s defeat, the ineffectiveness of the strike was clear for all to see.

"Boy, who are you?" Yingshan Muzhi shouted. Although the strike was far from displaying his full strength, the fact that Zhou Heng could block it earned him some respect.

"Zhou Heng!"

"You are Zhou Heng?" After a moment of surprise, Yingshan Muzhi burst out laughing, then his expression turned grim, saying, "You really are recklessly bold, indeed a reckless and arrogant fool!"

"Boy, you must bear the sins you committed yourself!"

Yingshan Muzhi gazed coldly at Zhou Heng, his wings suddenly spreading wide behind him, each spanning a zhang long, casting a huge shadow as he shouted, "Surrender without resistance, lest the entire Heavenly Dragon Empire be buried with you because of your actions!"

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, saying, "A mere extra, whom are you trying to scare?"

"Stubborn fool!" Yingshan Muzhi scoffed, his eyes fixed on Zhou Heng, yet he did not launch an attack.

The news of Zhou Heng slaying the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch had already spread far and wide; even as confident as Yingshan Muzhi was, he did not believe he could be compared to a Divine Infant Realm expert! He also knew that Zhou Heng must have used some artifact from the Divinity Transformation Realm, and his actual strength was definitely not up to par!

But now that Zhou Heng was standing before him, it indicated that he was prepared, and the deadly weapon capable of killing a Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch must have been ready! If he were to rashly advance, it would be certain death!

Such was the power of a notorious reputation!

Yingshan Muzhi withdrew his gaze, saying, "Since you are unrepentant, we are left only with confrontation!" He waved his hand and shouted, "Attack the stronghold!"

Whoo—

The horn sounded, deep yet resounding, instantly spreading throughout every direction; the dense army immediately moved, some charging towards Heavenly Gate Pass from the ground while others sprang into the air, flying towards the stronghold.

The human army immediately showed signs of tension, gripping their weapons tighter. In reality, they were but cannon fodder; they never decided the outcome of the battle, but paradoxically, they were the ones who had to charge into the fray.

Fortunately, the border had been the scene of constant battles year-round, and each soldier was a seasoned veteran, unflustered in tumultuous times, for panicking would only lead to a quicker death!

On the border, the vice commander continuously waved the command flags, issuing one order after another, as the human army slowly moved into various formations. The city walls boomed as cannons fired towards the ground, while rows of archers shot arrows skyward at the Winged People.

The inevitable battle unfolded, cries of combat filling the air, the earth trembling, with widespread devastation.

And this scene was just a microcosm of the eternal conflict between humans and the two great alien imperial dynasties over tens of thousands of years—while not incessant, skirmishes erupted several times a year, with major battles every decade and massive, expansive campaigns a century apart.

Without a dominant figure to unify the countless tribes, this scene will continuously replay in the future.

Zhou Heng sighed. Facing this vast sea of people, even though he had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm and formed into the Divine Infant, how many people could he kill with one slice of his sword or one punch?

Wave after wave came at him like the tides of the sea, seemingly endless.

He let out a long howl, and immediately, a tremendous rumble came from afar, as if a monster was approaching from ancient times!

But the battle below was so brutal, so fierce; who would dare to be distracted at such a time, when even if the sky fell, they would have to chop down the enemy in front of them before the could run away!

The giant warship flew swiftly, casting a tremendous shadow. Eighteen Spirit Light Cannons emerged from the ship, their muzzles beginning to gather a fierce white light, charging up.

"What, how could there be such a huge Void Ship!"

"Spirit Light Cannon!"

"That’s the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch’s Void Ship, which Zhou Heng has acquired!"

"A massive weapon that could only have been made in ancient times!"

"Quick, retreat quickly! Otherwise, when the Spirit Light Cannons fire, the casualties will be too horrific!"

Top-tier leaders of the three factions naturally couldn’t join the fight; they all cast their eyes towards the gigantic ship in the sky, especially when the eighteen Spirit Light Cannons emerged. Leaders from both the Night Demon and Heavenly Demon empires were unable to sit still, shouting out loud.

The eighteen Spirit Light Cannons, equivalent to eighteen Nascent Soul Realm experts, had unimaginable destructive power!

Yingshan Muzhi was also stunned; he had not expected Zhou Heng to deploy this massive weapon so suddenly. The so-called trump card was naturally supposed to be used at the last moment; why start so explosively?

Although the two sides mobilized tens of millions of soldiers—this was just the vanguard. More troops were still gathering at their respective rears!

He howled again, shooting upwards, swooping towards the gigantic Void Ship—he needed to bring down this ship, and thus naturally, the crisis below would resolve itself.

"Stop right there!" Sang Qingshan, Ice Phoenix Lady, and Yang Zhan, joining forces, jumped down from the Void Ship to block Yingshan Muzhi. Although the three belonged to different factions, at this moment, they fought as human beings!

Before alien races, personal grievances vanish!

Having reached the Spirit Sea Realm and on the verge of breaking through to Nascent Soul, they were naturally wise individuals who could distinguish the primary from the secondary; this was a time for united efforts!

Fight!

"Merely three juniors, and you dare to obstruct my path?" Yingshan Muzhi snorted coldly, flipping his right hand, and a terrifying force immediately pressed down on Sang Qingshan and the others, sinking them downwards.

"Heh!"

Sang Qingshan and the others roared in unison, striking back at Yingshan Muzhi.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sky immediately filled with terrifying energy fluctuations, enough to instantly shred a Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artist!

Yingshan Muzhi howled loudly, continuing to ascend, shooting towards the Void Ship—Sang Qingshan and the other two appeared like deities to low-tier Martial Artists, but faced with a true Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor, they were still not a match, not even with the power of three combined; they could not stop him!

These three were ultimately still a level below Ying Cheng’en!

Back in Death Forest, Ying Cheng’en had held off a Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor without even using a Divine Infant Realm magic artifact, showing the immediate difference!

"Bit players, just stay put!" Zhou Heng launched the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his toes tapping the air as if on solid ground, instantly caught up, deploying an Eight-Colored Lotus first, then a sword in the right and a punch in the left, his battle power at full throttle.

"Seeking death!" Although Yingshan Muzhi was extremely wary of Zhou Heng, being a high-tier Martial Artist naturally came with a pride that could not tolerate the offense of a low-tier Martial Artist! A white light rose above his head, turning into an egg shape, emitting an overwhelming aura.

The Divine Infant of the Nascent Soul Realm is an egg, in a state of hatching, but with different colors.

Through the egg shape, one could vaguely see a Divine Infant taking shape inside, in the form of a bird, although its specific appearance was unclear. The Divine Bird flapped its wings once, and countless Flying Feathers suddenly appeared out of thin air, shooting violently towards Zhou Heng!

Zhou Heng howled loudly, activating the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon, and with a hum, a bold and domineering aura surged.

"Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon? Hmph, do you think you are the Great Eternal Emperor?" Yingshan Muzhi was completely unfazed, the sky full of Flying Feathers like a barrage of thousands of arrows, overwhelming everything.

Indeed, missing by a whole Great Realm, the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon failed to make an impact!

He had heard from Black Donkey that the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon was incredibly strong, and under the oppression of its will, even peers would suffer greatly in battle power! That’s how the Great Eternal Emperor could suppress the masters of countless tribes with his own power, becoming the greatest emperor of all time!

Too bad!

Zhou Heng launched the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, stepping on air, his figure moving like lightning, and he actually fought a bloody path through the flurry of Flying Feathers, a Divine Light forming a golden figure over his head, just like his own body, with a sword in the right and a punch in the left hand, charging at Yingshan Muzhi.
