Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 360 - 348: Formidable Physical Body (1/3)

Chapter 360: Chapter 348: Formidable Physical Body (1/3)

"Huo Tian, let’s go!" Zhou Heng said to the peerless heavenly maiden who was idly languishing with boredom, and the two of them entered the pavilion again. After passing through, they arrived at the mouth of the garden where the remnants of sword qi were still seething.

Zhou Heng sensed the area and couldn’t help but softly exclaim because the power of the sword qi was weakening.

Just like the restrictions in the valley before, it weakened over time!

Zhou Heng roughly guessed at what was happening.

This piece of the Fairy Continent must have been located within some spatial rift where the passage of time was likely peculiar, keeping everything almost in its original state. But once it appeared from the void, everything returned to normal.

As a result, the deadly-damaged valley restrictions quickly disintegrated, and so did this sword qi, though at a much slower rate.

If everyone had enough patience, all threats here would dissipate, and anyone could pass through.

Of course, if no one had attempted to pass through first, everyone naturally would have been very patient. But what if this balance was broken? Could the rest still sit still?

Zhou Heng smiled; he was the one to break the balance!

He swooped Huo Tian into his arms, eliciting a shout of alarm from the peerless heavenly maiden, who then rolled her eyes at him before striding forward.

"What does this kid want to do?"

"Although the malevolence here has faded a bit, everyone’s spiritual power is suppressed. Going through now is simply courting death!"

"Hmph, carrying a woman too, truly arrogant!"

"Relying on the treasure from the Three Yang Heavenly Venerate, having slain a Divine Infant Realm and a Nascent Soul Realm, does he really think he is invincible?"

"What a pity, this young man had learned three immortal-level swordsmanship techniques, and now he is going to his doom!"

The crowd sneered, while Tianhai Mulan and Anhe Luoyuan frowned slightly. They utterly couldn’t believe that Zhou Heng would be so foolhardy. Could it be that this young man couldn’t resist using some super treasure?

But looking at the situation, it was hard to believe!

With everyone’s cultivation level currently suppressed heavily, naturally, no one could stop Zhou Heng. Aside from Yuan Shixiang, no one even planned to stop him. They all watched with indifferent expressions as he stepped forward.

"Young friend!" Yuan Shixiang spoke up.

Zhou Heng paused, turned around, and said, "Senior, is there something you need?"

Yuan Shixiang almost wanted to roll his eyes. Wasn’t it obvious? Forget it, forget it. This young man isn’t one to act rashly, would anyone have believed he could accomplish what he did before slaying the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch?

This young man has great secrets, surely he has means to protect himself!

"Be careful!" was all he said.

"Thank you, senior, for your concern!" Zhou Heng bowed slightly. Yuan Shixiang had always been good to him, and he was grateful, holding great respect for the elder.

He turned back around, took a deep breath, and made a big stride forward.

He then directly entered into the garden crevice!

"This kid is crazy!"

"If we had our full cultivation levels, forming a spiritual power shield would naturally fend off this malevolence! But now..."

"Originally, seeing that he could comprehend three immortal techniques, he should be a clever person. How could he do such a foolish thing?"

"I really don’t know what to say!"

All these Nascent Soul and Divine Infant Realm old ancestors were profoundly scheming, rarely showing emotional disturbance, but the current situation was too absurd. Zhou Heng was clearly supposed to be intelligent, but he was carrying out an incredibly foolish act!

Zhou Heng’s foot landed, truly stepping into the area where the sword qi remnants were boiling.

Whiz, whiz, whiz!

The sword qi stirred about, shooting towards him like tiny snakes.

Zhou Heng remained unshaken, striding forward, his body radiating golden divine radiance, resembling a deity, preaching with every step, his light shining for an eternity.

The sword qi struck his body, but it couldn’t even break his skin!

Zhou Heng had tested this sword qi’s strength before; it could easily tear through his Mountains and Rivers Realm level defenses, but it only harmed the flesh, not the bone, so its strength was at most at the Spirit Sea Realm level.

Of course, if the sword qi truly entered the body, its destructive power would be infinite, wounds would not heal, and even Nascent Soul and Divine Infant Realm experts would bleed to death!

Zhou Heng’s current physical strength had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, and even his bone strength surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm magic artifacts. Once he activated this layer of defense, the sword qi naturally could not injure him.

He was well aware of his own condition, but others did not know. When they saw the sword qi, like billions of tiny snakes, entwining around Zhou Heng without even scratching his skin, they were naturally shocked beyond belief.

To shock these old ancestors was no small feat!

"What treasure is he using?" someone murmured.

With everyone’s spiritual power sealed, he must be using some treasure.

"No, not a treasure, it’s his physique!"

"Indeed, his physique has reached the Nascent Soul Realm, only then can he withstand these evil qi!"

"Hiss, this kid has already formed the Divine Fetus and his physique has broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, doubly cultivating the spiritual body. Won’t he be invincible in the future?"

"Even the Great Eternal Emperor of old wasn’t as terrifying as him!"

"Is the human race about to produce another formidable figure?"

The old ancestors of the alien races coldly watched Zhou Heng’s silhouette, their eyes brimming with murderous intent. They certainly did not want another Great Eternal Emperor emerging from the human race!

After leaving this place, they would kill the kid!

Zhou Heng strode forward. How long could a mere thirty feet be? He crossed it in a few breaths.

"Aren’t you going to put me down now!" Huo Tian said annoyed.

Zhou Heng chuckled and said, "Holding you a bit longer isn’t going to take a chunk out of you, don’t be so stingy!"

Huo Tian glared at him furiously and snubbed him out of spite.

However, Zhou Heng still put Huo Tian down, gaining a little advantage was okay, but overdoing it was really damaging to one’s reputation. "Please!" He bowed to Huo Tian with the gesture of a guard.

"Hmph!" Huo Tian held her head high, displaying the full posture of a queen.

Seeing that the two were about to cross the garden and push the door into the building across, those behind were no longer able to stay calm! Was there also an Immortal Object hidden inside that building?

It couldn’t fall into anyone else’s hands!

At this moment, everyone had to reveal their trump cards for fear of missing out on the Immortal Fate!

As the saying goes, "Eight immortals cross the sea, each revealing their divine powers!"

These old ancestors all brought out the treasures they normally wouldn’t part with unless their lives were at stake, desperately charging forward. The Sword Qi attacked their bodies, immediately triggering a reaction from the treasures, emitting radiant multicolored brilliance.

The original owner of the Black Sword once slashed a sword that split the Fairy Continent. This power was absolutely breathtaking! With such force, except for a few in the Nascent Soul Realm or Divine Infant Realm, even those Ancient Immortals were effortlessly slain, weren’t they?

However, this was after all just a remnant of a Sword Qi’s aftermath, and moreover, it had been many years, and though it retained formidable destructive power, as if a wound that could not heal, its power had ultimately greatly diminished.

These old ancestors all brought out their treasures, but since Spirit Stones could not be used here, they could not provide power to the treasures, and could only consume the original essence of the treasures. This was like a Martial Artist overdrawing their future life to fight, and the extent of damage to the treasures was immeasurable.

It was precisely for this reason that these old ancestors were reluctant to use their treasures easily and were delaying each other until Zhou Heng made the first move. They could sit still no longer; for a possibly existing Immortal Object, they had to be willing even if they were reluctant!

Zhou Heng did not pose any obstacles for those behind him. As he reached the tightly closed grand door, he reached out to push it.

The moment his hand touched the door, it automatically opened silently.

"The door’s open!"

Zhou Heng hadn’t even entered when he saw the old ancestors behind him already sprinting over, each old man and old lady running as swiftly as thieves, squeezing past Zhou Heng and rushing into the door.

"Eh!"

Those who rushed in all let out a cry of surprise. Zhou Heng waited until Yuan Shixiang also walked over, and said, "Senior, please!"

"Haha, young friend, please!"

The three stepped into the room together, and Zhou Heng and Yuan Shixiang let out a surprised yelp simultaneously.

Their suppressed spiritual power had become active again!

This was a martial battle arena, the central area was paved with yellow stones, unknown what material it was made of, the area was quite large, occupying almost two-thirds of the room’s area, completely empty above, probably meant for battle.

The surroundings were similarly furnished with cushions, seemingly for people to sit while watching the fights.

Everyone’s eyes widened; they did not want to have come with great costs only to find nothing in return.

Naturally, there was nothing of interest in the middle; everyone scattered around searching. There were many weapon racks in the room, but unfortunately, none of them were intact, all chopped into seven or eight pieces, even more fragmented.

Even if these were Immortal Objects, in such a state they were truly of no use at all.

Zhou Heng tried to pick up a piece to consume it, but found that the metal essence within had already depleted, just like a charred sweet potato, with absolutely no edible part left.

After trying a few pieces, he gave up the idea. Although this room wasn’t directly hit by the Sword Qi’s aftermath, the evil qi blasts had similarly destroyed everything within.

"That thing!" Huo Tian suddenly said to Zhou Heng, her slender hand pointing towards a corner. There was a bundle of cloth, or perhaps paper, looking like junk.

"Something good?" Zhou Heng leaned close to Huo Tian’s ear to ask.

With the warmth of his breath, Huo Tian shivered all over, annoyed, and glared at him, saying, "If it weren’t for my high status that I never bow my head, would I need you to do this?"

This woman!

Zhou Heng twitched his mouth, but he likewise believed in Huo Tian’s extraordinariness. Promptly, he walked over, picked up the cloth, and squeezed it in his hand. It was indeed a cloth, very smooth.

He spread it out to see, the cloth wasn’t large, like an ordinary handkerchief, embroidered with ten different fierce beasts, some with a bull’s head and a tiger’s body, others with a snake’s neck and donkey’s tail, all very bizarre.

"Youngster, hand over what’s in your hands to this old man!" Just then, a strong man from the Night Demon race commanded Zhou Heng in a low voice.(To be continued.
