Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 359 - 347: Alien Races Prodigy (3/3)

Chapter 359: Chapter 347: Alien Races Prodigy (3/3)

Unexpectedly, this final sword technique is incredibly miraculous, and after three whole days, no one has yet received the inheritance; it simply hangs solemnly on the wall.

For high-tier Martial Artists, a single retreat is counted in years, let alone sitting idly for three days, even three hundred days is nothing to them. Everyone watched intently at the last painting on the wall, concentrating deeply.

Even without receiving the sword technique inheritance, just by looking at this painting, one could envision countless insights into the profound paths, gaining immense benefits and glimpsing a sliver of hope for breaking through to a Great Realm.

Zhou Heng’s eyes shimmered with the stars, sun, and moon, while Divine Radiance continuously transformed into the shape of a golden figure above his head. Although here their Divine Sense was suppressed, unable to launch attacks, it was more than sufficient for deducing sword techniques.

The golden figure wielded the Black Sword, continuously swinging it to deduce mysterious sword shadows.

He used the two Feiyu Sword Techniques he had learned to induce this last form; the two sword techniques continuously danced, and after each performance, Zhou Heng gained new enlightenments.

This was an Immortal Technique. Even though Zhou Heng had already mastered the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, it belonged to a different Sword Dao, inheriting different Sword Intents, hence with each form executed, Zhou Heng gained entirely new insights.

He dared not slack off since among this group, there were two others whose talent was no less than his, having also received the inheritance of two sword techniques, and who could possibly surpass him at any moment to attain this last sword technique inheritance.

This was a collision between geniuses, and coincidentally, the three individuals belonged to three different races!

Whoever could learn this last sword technique first would be the victor in this competition.

None of them wanted to admit defeat!

The golden figure moved faster and faster, swirling dazzlingly, with Divine Radiance flickering!

He saw it!

Zhou Heng’s Sea of Consciousness trembled, and that sword painting finally came completely to life, playing out in his mind, rising like the sun, descending like the moon, with heaven and earth changing, soaring across the universe.

Whoosh!

A green light flashed, and the last sword painting disappeared without a trace, absorbed into Zhou Heng’s body.

"Sword Breaking the Heavens!"

Click, click, click, click!

The wall in front of everyone suddenly rose, revealing a path leading forward.

No wonder there was no way forward halfway through; it was necessary to realize the sword first to continue moving forward!

The Old Ancestors looked at each other in dismay; however displeased they were, it was useless. They could only get up and move forward, looking forward to more Immortal inheritances waiting in the depths of this estate. Soon, only Zhou Heng, Huo Tian, and those two Alien Race individuals who had received the Feiyu Sword Technique inheritance remained in the loft.

"I am Anhe Luoyuan, a human. What is your name?" The Heavenly Demon man asked Zhou Heng, his voice low and brimming with an unstoppable authority that made one involuntarily submit.

"Zhou Heng!" Zhou Heng carefully observed the two Alien Race individuals, but each had their aura concealed and no Divine Radiance flashing above their heads, clearly not because their Realms were inferior to Zhou Heng, but because they had already stepped beyond that phase, entering either the Nascent Soul Realm or even the Divine Infant Realm.

"Tianhai Mulan!" The last Night Demon man also introduced himself.

"Good, I thought in this world only Brother Tianhai was my match, but unexpectedly, another young prodigy has emerged!" Anhe Luoyuan revealed a strong intent to fight. "However, you are too weak right now!"

"I give you three years. Battle me in three years, and I will not hold back," he stated.

Finishing, he walked forward without turning back, carrying the majestic presence of a ruler.

"Heh heh!" Tianhai Mulan also started moving, but his voice floated back, "Unexpectedly, after sleeping for tens of thousands of years, humans have not declined but have produced someone who caught my eye! Zhou Heng, grow quickly, my fists are getting lonely!"

Zhou Heng’s gaze flickered, these two distinguished figures were actually prodigies from tens of thousands of years ago!

With the recent drastic changes between heaven and earth, figures from Ancient Times were appearing more and more, among them many unparalleled geniuses who could stand alongside Zhao Duotian and Ying Cheng’en without being inferior.

"Hey, time to wake up!" Zhou Heng patted Huo Tian, eliciting an annoyed glare from Queen Lord, who then got up and walked towards the front.

After the two left the loft, they saw what should have been an elegant garden in front, but now it was bisected by a terrifying force, with faint traces of Vigorous Qi floating on the ground, emitting an atmosphere chilling to the core.

The fissure was only about thirty feet wide, normally an easy leap, but since entering the loft, everyone had lost all Spiritual Power, and no one dared to cross even a step.

On the opposite side of the garden was a vast bungalow, its doors tightly shut, with no clue as to what lay hidden inside.

The less visible it was, the more anticipation filled their hearts, everyone racking their brains thinking how to cross this normally insignificant rift.

Ten feet, ah, with no support from Spiritual Power, Deities unable to manifest, relying solely on physical strength, who could make it across?

Someone brought out a Flying Artifact, only to find it completely unusable; here, all Spiritual Power was suppressed, including the overflow of Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones. Someone thought about digging a tunnel, but they found the earth of the Immortal Realm too tough to dig through, even if they had regained their full strength after leaving the loft, they still could do nothing about it.

The treasure mountain was right before their eyes, yet they could only look and not touch, which left no one willing to give up. Everyone began to wrack their brains.

"Folks, we can’t just give up halfway, can we? Let’s not hide and hoard our treasures. Bring out your hidden treasures. If we don’t figure out a way to overcome this challenge, we can only sit and stare at the treasure mountain!" a member of the Night Demon Clan and an expert said.

"Ahead lies an Immortal Fate, we can’t catch the wolf if we’re not willing to lose the child!"

"Hmph, let’s have those three who received the Immortal Sword inheritance bring out their treasures first!"

"They’ve received an Immortal-level inheritance, so naturally, they should contribute more effort!"

"Indeed!"

"Makes sense!"

Everyone set their sights on Zhou Heng, Anhe Luoyuan, and Tianhai Mulan. Naturally, bottom-of-the-box treasures were to be used only as a last resort. Since Zhou Heng and the other two had already gained great benefits earlier, it was only natural for them to put in more effort now.

Anhe Luoyuan huffed lightly, crossing his arms in front of his chest with a look of disdain, and Tianhai Mulan wore a similar expression, full of arrogance.

"Aren’t you two being too arrogant?" The attitude of these two greatly dissatisfied the gathering of Old Ancestors, who were either at the Nascent Soul Realm or the Divine Infant Realm. When had they ever been treated so arrogantly?

"So what if I am arrogant?" Tianhai Mulan replied disdainfully. "People like you from a declining era of Martial Path, with weak battle power, even at the Nascent Soul Realm, I can defeat you easily!"

Damn, that’s arrogance!

The Old Ancestors from various clans were so angered they nearly popped their eyes out, but here the Spiritual Power was restricted, and fighting was like brawling with street thugs, relying purely on physical strength! These Old Ancestors were all highly dignified individuals. Could they really stoop to that level?

Moreover, in a real fight, both Tianhai Mulan and Anhe Luoyuan were in their prime, full of vigor and at their strongest physical peak in life!

To fight would be to humiliate themselves!

With a suffocating feeling, everyone reluctantly brought out their hidden treasures for others to benefit from, and the scene suddenly fell into silence.

Zhou Heng laughed and backed away.

Outside the pavilion, his Spiritual Power immediately began to flow freely. After speaking briefly with Huo Tian, he activated the Gold Devouring Clan’s ability and began to devour the "door plank" he had just picked up, which was now broken into hundreds of easy-to-refine fragments, each one held easily in his hand.

This was metal from the Immortal Realm. Although he was unsure of its preciousness in the Immortal Realm, for the current Zhou Heng, it was absolutely a great supplement fitting for the constitution of the Gold Devouring Clan.

Since the people inside were at an impasse, he naturally found something else to do.

One piece, two pieces, three pieces!

The ability of the Gold Devouring Clan was extremely powerful. Although this was metal from the Immortal Realm, refining it was not difficult. With each piece refined, Zhou Heng’s constitution significantly improved.

Originally, his constitution had already surpassed a Mountains and Rivers Realm Magic Artifact, but after several injuries, he had consumed some of the Gold Devouring Clan’s metal essence. However, his strength hadn’t decreased significantly, and just refining half a piece of Immortal Realm metal fragment brought him back to his best condition.

After refining two metal fragments, his constitution reached the peak of the Mountains and Rivers Realm.

The breakthrough in constitution did not require comprehension; it happened naturally when conditions were met.

With a shiver of his body, his constitution had already advanced into the Spirit Sea Realm!

Zhou Heng did not stop and continued to refine the remaining metal fragments. This gate was immensely valuable to Zhou Heng, potentially elevating him directly to the Divine Infant Realm!

As his constitution continued to improve, observing his body, every bone emitted a golden divine radiance, dazzlingly brilliant like a Heavenly God!

The divine radiance overflowed, and Zhou Heng’s figure was solemn, his constitution strengthening rapidly by the day.

After refining a tenth of the metal fragments, his constitution reached the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, and his bones suddenly burst into popping sounds, following which they rang like evening drums and morning bells, full of rhythm.

Compared to the difficulty of breaking through in the Spiritual Power Realm, or the challenges in forming Deities, this breakthrough in constitution was absolutely simple. Zhou Heng merely trembled slightly, with sounds of the Great Dao singing continuously emanating from his body. After two days and nights, his constitution had already stepped ahead into the Nascent Soul Realm!

From the perspective of battle power, having a constitution at the Nascent Soul Realm was far from comparable to the Spiritual Power level of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Not to mention that each Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor’s Dantian Space varied in size, and Half-Step Immortals still had Deities, with boundless battle power when combined with Spiritual Power.

However, when it came to pure resistance to attacks, Zhou Heng was exceedingly strong. That was a capability at the Nascent Soul Realm level, even if a Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarch wanted to destroy, it wouldn’t be easily done!

In one breath, he surged to the Divine Infant Realm!

Zhou Heng continued to devour the leftover Immortal Realm metal fragments, but he immediately realized his previous prediction had been too optimistic. The Nascent Soul Realm was like a bottomless pit. After refining all the remaining metal fragments, he had only completed one-fourth of the progress in the Nascent Soul Realm.

With such a formidable constitution, he could now force his way through the crack cleaved by Sword Qi. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
