Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 362 - 350: Ten Refinement Diagram (3/3)

Chapter 362: Chapter 350: Ten Refinement Diagram (3/3)

Zhou Heng gradually formed a speculation in his heart.

During the great battle in the Immortal Realm, it was unclear how many parties were involved, but the original owner of the Black Sword must have been one of them. After the battle, the original owner of the Black Sword likely died, and the Black Sword itself broke and fell into the Mortal Realm, but it was unknown how it entered Zhou Heng’s body.

How powerful was the original owner of the Black Sword? Merely the aftermath of one of his strikes had split the Fairy Continent asunder, a level of battle power beyond Zhou Heng’s current imagination!

Yet such a being had died in battle! Even causing the Black Sword to shatter!

How formidable must his opponent have been!

Did these enemies also die in the battle? Or were they only wounded, or perhaps they emerged victorious without any injuries?

Do they still rule over the Immortal Realm?

Zhou Heng gave a wry smile, for he had yet to break into the Immortal Realm, and it seemed he had already made enemies with some supreme beings there!

Forget it, he would consider this matter only after he truly entered the Immortal Realm. His path was one of fearlessness and bravery, charging forward. Even if there were thorns ahead, would he stop in his tracks because of them?

Zhou Heng revealed a bright smile, full of anticipation for the Immortal Realm.

"Let’s go, there’s nothing worthwhile left here!" Huo Tian said, tugging at Zhou Heng’s clothes. If not for her naturally lazy demeanor, caring about nothing with urgency, she would have probably dragged Zhou Heng away long ago to find the place that had thrilled her.

"Leaving? Hand over that object first, and the three sword moves you learned before!" Before Zhou Heng could speak, Hu Yingfeng had already intercepted them.

"Old man, do you dare to block my path?" Huo Tian lashed out first, also without waiting for Zhou Heng to speak.

Although Huo Tian’s peerless beauty was concealed by a hat, the aura of a queen was immensely powerful, immediately exerting an inexplicable pressure on Hu Yingfeng.

There were rumors that this woman was the alien female from the Death Forest suspected to be at the Divinity Transformation Realm. Even though she didn’t show wings or a tail right now, such things were not hard for a Divinity Transformation expert to conceal.

If true... was he courting death by his actions?

He hoped not!

Hu Yingfeng stared at Huo Tian, unable to sense the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from her, truly indistinguishable from a mortal. But it was precisely because of this that he was even more uncertain.

Was this a place for mortals?

Since she was not a mortal, if he couldn’t gauge the depth of her power, it was very likely she surpassed him!

But Huo Tian, unconcerned about anything else, walked towards Hu Yingfeng with a posture full of thousands of graces, swaying like a lotus flower in a manner so noble and dignified, it was beyond description.

A sudden sense of unease struck Hu Yingfeng’s heart, an instinct he had formed since childhood growing up with fierce tigers, an intuition that had saved him countless times before he gained enlightenment. He trusted this intuition immensely and immediately retreated, not daring to let Huo Tian approach.

As Huo Tian advanced, he retreated, as if he had seen a ghost.

The venerable Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor was forced to flee in disarray by a mortal woman? While others watched, none dared to mock Hu Yingfeng. They too observed Huo Tian carefully, but when their divine sense reached out to her, it felt like a fish entering the ocean, unfathomably profound and vast.

Although Huo Tian didn’t display formidable battle power, who would dare to let someone with such a spiritual will close to them?

Huo Tian held her head high with an air of scorn, the posture of a queen who deemed no one worthy of her direct gaze.

"Humph, the young generations are becoming increasingly arrogant!" an expert from the human race declared. Despite his concerns about Huo Tian’s potential strength, he had to fight for the treasure of the fairy family.

"Zhou Heng, use that thing!" Without looking back, Huo Tian pointed her delicate hand towards Zhou Heng.

"How do I use it?" Zhou Heng examined the cloth back and forth, unable to find anything mystical about it.

"Inject your Divine Sense into it!"

Zhou Heng did as he was instructed, and instantly, ten gigantic beasts appeared in his mind, just like those on the cloth, but each one came to life, three-dimensional, enabling him to see every detail from top to bottom, left to right.

A stream of information passed to him, and Zhou Heng immediately understood how to use this treasure!

He tapped his finger on the last beast image on the cloth, and the space trembled. His spirit stones were being consumed continuously, and a massive beast materialized out of nowhere, with the head of a bull and the body of a centipede, horrifying with its hundred feet.

A terrifying aura swept out as the beast flexed its supreme might. Even experts at the Divine Infant Realm felt a deep sense of powerlessness surge from the core of their beings.

Divinity Transformation Realm!

This was actually a being from the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Zhou Heng stood with his hands behind his back and laughed, "What of arrogance!" As his words fell, the Divinity Transformation Realm beast pounced towards the human expert, its foot piercing through the man’s shoulder and nailing him to the ground!

"Ah—" The human expert let out a scream while everyone else’s faces turned pale with shock!

Such a treasure indeed!

To be able to summon a demon beast from the Divinity Transformation Realm. In today’s decline of the Martial Path, it was truly invincible!

Crack!

The Divinity Transformation Realm Demon Beast bit off the martial artist’s head and neck in one bite; as its body thrust forward, it lunged to bite Hu Yingfeng next.

This place is so tiny—where to hide, where to flee?

Hu Yingfeng also let out a scream as the demon beast bit through her neck, blood gushed out in torrents, and her vitality vanished in an instant!

Everyone was shocked and scrambled out, fearing Zhou Heng would go on a killing spree! With the suppression of spiritual power outside, there was no difference between the Divinity Transformation Realm and the Spirit Gathering Realm! Amidst the chaos, everyone used their treasures again, passing through the sword scar and retreating back to the previous pavilion.

But then they realized, even though the suppression leveled the playing field of spiritual power, Zhou Heng’s physique was extraordinarily strong, possessing the Brutal Strength of the Nascent Soul Realm. If no one could use spiritual power, wouldn’t he be even more formidable?

With this in mind, they exited the pavilion and scattered in different directions.

This fragment of the Immortal Realm was indeed vast—why butt heads with Zhou Heng to the death?

Step back and the sky’s the limit!

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Heng’s thought moved, and the Divinity Transformation Realm Demon Beast instantly vanished into thin air while he revealed a bitter smile.

At a huge loss!

That piece of fabric is called the "Ten Refinement Diagram," each beast corresponding to one of the ten realms from the Body Refinement Realm to the Divinity Transformation Realm. As long as it is stimulated by Divine Sense and fueled with Spirit Stones, it could be materialized.

In fact, just like the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, it is used to train disciples. Of course, it’s also good for combating enemies, especially for overpowering low-tier martial artists—it’s more than enough.

It’s just that the consumption of Spirit Stones is really too excessive!

Summoning that bull-headed centipede-bodied demon beast consumed a large amount of Spirit Stones, and for every second it remained, the consumption of Spirit Stones was colossal! Zhou Heng swept through the Nine Mystic Trial Tower with his Divine Sense and discovered that half of the Spirit Stones were gone, and all the Upper-Grade Spirit Stones were completely depleted.

He might’ve looked imposing a while ago, but the cost was indeed not small! Moreover, what’s even more regrettable is that he had not gained any benefits yet, and even if he used the Black Sword to kill, what use would that be? His level of spiritual power had already reached its limit, unable to advance further before breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Zhou Heng looked at Huo Tian and asked, "How did you know how to use this thing?"

If she just knew it was a treasure, that could be understood—some people have unique insights. But to know exactly how to use it, that’s not something a keen eye could explain.

"I just naturally knew!" Huo Tian lifted her head proudly. "Come on, it’s time to take care of my business!"

This Peerless Heavenly Maiden definitely has a deep connection with the Immortal Realm!

Zhou Heng thought to himself while picking up Huo Tian. Whoosh! His figure darted, passing through the garden and out of the pavilion, with no one in sight. He unfolded his body and sped off in the direction Huo Tian pointed.

As the two dashed across the Fairy Continent, Zhou Heng soon noticed immense changes in the continent. The land started to show web-like cracks, extending and interconnecting.

This continent was gradually heading toward collapse!

It wasn’t surprising—originally, that peerless expert’s single sword stroke had severed this piece of continent from the Immortal Realm, the aftermath ravaging all life on the continent, and even afterward breaking the space, squandering the continent into the void.

In that void, it seemed as if time was frozen, but as the Fairy Continent appeared in the Mortal Realm, the remnants of that sword’s power continued to spread, destroying the continent’s structure.

Considering the time since the continent’s appearance to now has been several months, reaching this point was not strange.

Yet before this continent completely collapses, there might still be some time left—possibly leading to a massive explosion or something similar. Hence, it’s essential to hurry, find any Treasures, and leave as soon as possible, otherwise everything could be annihilated with it.

It was a risk better not taken.

"Go over there!" After about ten days of running, Huo Tian suddenly changed direction.

"Why?" Zhou Heng asked.

"I’m telling you to go, so go!" Huo Tian declared haughtily.

"Heh, you really do have a bad memory; it seems I need to give you a more lasting impression!" Zhou Heng raised his large hand and smacked it down on Huo Tian’s shapely bottom, the elasticity impressive, the sound crisp.

"Scoundrel!" Huo Tian’s cheeks flushed with anger as she glared at Zhou Heng resentfully. "I will chop off your filthy hands!"

Zhou Heng sighed and said, "In that case, I might as well have a thorough feel!"

"You, don’t mess around!" Huo Tian felt Zhou Heng’s hand pressing onto her buttocks, an odd warmth seemingly piercing through her clothes, bringing a strong unease.

"I’m going to mess around. These are wild hills and ranges, so go ahead and call for help!" Zhou Heng laughed heartily, always treating Huo Tian like a natural rival; it was simply not comfortable if they didn’t spar with words.

"Lustful Thief—" With a stern shout, a flash of cold light whizzed by, and a fierce sword light shot towards him!

Zhou Heng was startled. Had someone actually come out of nowhere to meddle? But his movements were swift as he executed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, his figure rapidly shifting. However, the attack was too swift, still slashing a wound onto his ribs.

He didn’t deliberately activate the Gold Devouring Clan’s physique, so his flesh and skin couldn’t possibly reach the defensive strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, and blood immediately began to seep out.

Zhou Heng frowned and turned to look in the direction of the attack. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
