Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Chapter 366: Chapter 354: Entering the City (1/3)

Zhou Heng walked side by side with Huo Tian, while in his mind, he unfolded a series of associations.

In ancient times, the original owner of Black Sword had fought a great battle with some unknown existence, a battle that was certainly of a world-shattering magnitude. Just the aftermath alone had struck the Fairy Continent with devastating blows, causing it to fall from the Immortal Realm.

Huo Tian, perhaps, had been a Supreme existence that fought shoulder to shoulder with the original owner of Black Sword.

In that battle, Black Sword was destroyed, and its original owner most likely perished, while Huo Tian fared slightly better, although she, too, suffered grave injuries. She fell to the Mortal World and created a space to heal herself.

But her injuries may have been too severe; she lost all related memories and became a clean slate.

The so-called ’emotional resonance caused by familiar things’; when she encountered objects from the Immortal Realm, she could still recall related memories, like the Ten Refinement Diagram from before.

And here, what exactly was hidden?

At this moment, Huo Tian’s expression was clearly not one of joy, but of extreme anger! Then, in this small city, could it be hiding something related to her ancient enemy?

The original owner of Black Sword and Huo Tian must have been beings of Supreme power within the Immortal Realm, so how powerful would their enemies have been?

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng couldn’t help but smile wryly. He hadn’t yet become the strongest in the Mortal Realm, but it seemed that in the Immortal Realm, there were already unimaginably terrifying enemies waiting for him—how could this not give one a headache?

Being fearless didn’t mean disregarding everything. The strength of Black Sword’s original owner was something he could glimpse from that astonishing sword strike, and Huo Tian’s considerable powers had just been displayed.

Yet, one of these two was presumed dead, while the other was so heavily injured that she lost her memory. Who knew how many tens of thousands of years she had been healing in the Mortal World without yet recovering? This also reflected how immensely powerful their enemies were back then!

How could Zhou Heng dare to take such an existence lightly?

"Huo Tian, have you remembered something?" he asked softly. Although the two of them always bickered, Zhou Heng was not insensitive to the occasion, and right now Huo Tian was undoubtedly in quite a foul mood.

"I don’t know!" Huo Tian just stared ahead, her eyes angry with a hint of confusion, "I just sense an aura that enrages me, utterly loathsome, utterly detestable!"

She absolutely detested this type of aura, because she even abandoned using "This Palace" and referred to herself as "I."

Zhou Heng did not urge her on, just walked beside her, progressing through this ancient city of the Immortal Realm—its history spanned so many years that it was ineffable, a testament to ancient vicissitudes.

However, they were definitely not the only tourists here. When the Immortal City Restriction was shattered, the dazzling sight absolutely shook thousands of miles around, and now many who were originally looking for the Purple Plain City Order had rushed back.

For an Old Ancestor at the Nascent Soul or Divine Infant Realm, what was a few thousand miles?

Zhou Heng just followed Huo Tian, looking at the ruined houses along the way. Unlike before, there were no human skeletons to be seen here—like in the previous valley, they must have been turned to ashes by the Sword Qi of Black Sword.

What exactly was the battle in the Immortal Realm all about back then? And for what purpose?

For beings at that level, would a battle causing death or grievous injury occur if it wasn’t for an absolute treasure? And what kind of marvelous treasure could be enough to tempt such powerful beings?

Zhou Heng just couldn’t understand.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Figures streaked across the sky. Since Zhou Heng and Huo Tian were moving forward at the pace of ordinary pedestrians, naturally they were very slow, and many nearby had already arrived and surpassed them, rushing ahead.

What these people thought and what great shock they experienced, Zhou Heng didn’t care; he just looked at the peerless Heavenly Girl beside him with some distress, her anger making him feel outraged and pained.

"Eh, it’s you!" A figure swept over and stopped on the ruins of a house ten-odd zhang in front of Zhou Heng—it was the stunning beauty with a pair of white wings on her back, Cangao Muyue, who had a misunderstanding and clashed with Zhou Heng several days ago.

She had almost fallen from the sky, her face full of surprise, as if she had seen a ghost.

For a Nascent Soul Realm expert to be so shocked, Zhou Heng guessed he was the first in history. And Cangao Muyue had a good reason to be surprised because just a few days ago, Zhou Heng’s Deity was only formed halfway, but now, it was invisible!

It couldn’t possibly be that his Cultivation Level had regressed!

So the answer was obvious: this guy had thoroughly formed his Deity, and created his Divine Fetus, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

Sheesh, just how many days was that?

Monster! Aberration!

Huo Tian was in a bad mood, and Zhou Heng was starting to feel melancholic too. He just glanced at Cangao Muyue and said nothing, continuing forward with Huo Tian.

"Hey, don’t go!" Cangao Muyue hurriedly called out, not knowing why she wanted to stop Zhou Heng, but encountering such a freak for the first time, she instinctively shouted.

Zhou Heng turned around, his gaze freezing over as a terrifying aura burst forth. With a loud bang, Cangao Muyue was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood. He looked on indifferently, as if he had just swatted away a fly, and continued on his slow walk.

Cangao Muyue climbed up from the ground, unable to hide the shock on her face. Just now, Zhou Heng had been capable of erasing her with a single strike!

Both being at the Nascent Soul Realm, why was there such a vast difference in their battle power?

She was not convinced!

She still had many trump cards she hadn’t used. To leave so dejectedly did not fit her character!

"Third Princess!" Before Cangao Muyue could move, five figures arrived together. Three of them had wings on their backs, while the other two were a Tauren and a Serpent Lady. Below the latter’s navel, starting from her belly button, she had a green serpentine lower body, her scales glistening.

The Tauren was male, standing at least three zhang high and resembling a Vajra war god, radiating a domineering aura that made others yield. The Serpent Lady, on the other hand, was an enchanting and gorgeous young woman, her jet-black hair like clouds, her eyes seductive, her breasts quivering, revealing a profound and unfathomable cleavage.

She was the embodiment of the slender waist of a water snake, a twist of her body exuding a thousand charms. Although her snake’s tail seemed quite strange, it was a unique kind of beauty, was it not?

The five individuals bowed slightly to Cangao Muyue, their eyes filled with great reverence.

This reverence was not directed at Cangao Muyue—of course, Cangao Muyue, being a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who was barely a hundred years old, was indeed one of the most outstanding prodigies among the younger generation of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, a feat worthy of anyone’s respect. However, when compared to the person behind her, this was nothing.

Her father, the current Emperor of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, the Blazing Flame Demon Monarch who had ruled for over 1,400 years, was, according to reliable sources, the dynasty’s most talented being with great hope of breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm!

If he were to take this step, he would undeniably become the first person in tens of thousands of years in the entire Xuanqian Continent!

This was the reason why five Nascent Soul Realm old ancestors were willing to bow their heads to her; after all, those at the Nascent Soul Realm stood at the pinnacle of the world and did not need to humble themselves before anyone. If it came down to it, they could simply leave; the world was theirs to explore.

Cangao Muyue nodded, her gaze fixed on Zhou Heng, and said, "Five experts, do any of you know who those two are?"

"We don’t know!"

"Strange, anyone entering here should at least be at the Nascent Soul cultivation level, so why are those two moving so slowly?"

"Taking a stroll here? That’s a bit too much of an act!"

The five individuals spoke one after another, but none recognized where Zhou Heng was from. The reason was simple; Zhou Heng had now formed his Divine Fetus, and the most obvious little golden figure was no longer above his head.

"Third Princess, shall we split up and search? There might be Immortal Level treasures here!" The stunning Snake Maiden asked Cangao Muyue.

Though all five experts were at the Nascent Soul Realm, out of respect for Cangao Muyue’s father, they all naturally regarded her as their leader.

"That would be best!" Cangao Muyue nodded, and the five individuals immediately scattered to search the Immortal City. By now, more and more experts poured into the place. From time to time, silhouettes dashed across the sky, but because no treasures had emerged, there were no conflicts over interests, and experts from various races maintained a delicate peace.

However, Cangao Muyue followed behind Zhou Heng and Huo Tian, her curiosity about Zhou Heng overwhelming her. Moreover, since the other party had shown mercy before, as long as she did not provoke him, she should not draw Zhou Heng’s attack.

Yet she couldn’t help feeling indignant—was that guy blind? Couldn’t he see that she was a peerlessly beautiful woman, and still, he had been ruthless enough to strike her!

Err, he hadn’t actually struck her, just glared at her, but that was annoying enough, wasn’t it?

Cangao Muyue was displeased. Despite being over a hundred years old, which seems "advanced," the vast majority of her time had been spent on tedious cultivation. Her temperament had little difference from that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Zhou Heng’s Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, and he naturally noticed Cangao Muyue following him. As long as she did not bother him, he could not be bothered to deal with her. He glanced at the figures occasionally flying across the sky and said to Huo Tian, "Would you like me to lead the way?"

Huo Tian did not answer. Instead, she kept her phoenix eyes fixed on the direction she had always faced and moved her lotus steps, but then, a strange occurrence happened. The entire Immortal City underwent a massive distortion, and amidst thunderous booms, a colossal building slid towards them.

Zhou Heng had previously seen Huo Tian unleash her aura and break through Immortal City’s Restrictions. Now, seeing this scene, he was not at all surprised. After all, compared to the time when Black Sword’s owner had destroyed a continent with a single swipe, this was nothing.

But Cangao Muyue didn’t know what was going on. Seeing a building of Immortal City glide toward them as if with legs, she couldn’t help but reveal an expression of shock!

She knew full well how hard the ground here was. For a building to float through the rocks and "float" over like a ship sailing through the waves was astounding.

What’s going on, what happened!

The rumbling vibrations caught the attention of everyone in the city, with numerous figures rising into the air, all turning their gaze in their direction.

The city was too small, and Nascent Soul Realm old ancestors could cross it with a single step. They only needed to watch from the sky, and if a treasure did appear, they could swoop down to compete for it in time.

The thunderous noise abruptly ceased, and the building stopped about ten zhang away from Huo Tian. (To be continued.
