Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 391 - 377: Immortal Palace (3/3)

Chapter 391: Chapter 377: Immortal Palace (3/3)

Seriously, Zhou Heng wasn’t trying to take advantage of her under the pretext; it’s just that he was too deeply influenced by Kong Aokun initially—his first reaction to a disobedient woman was to spank her on the butt.

After spanking her, he remembered that this woman had a special identity and guessed she probably wanted to fight him to the death.

Let the fight begin, then. Who’s afraid of whom!

Zhou Heng simply smiled and said, "For an old granny who has lived for tens of thousands of years, you have quite a nice feel!"

Old granny? Nice feel?

The Moon Shadow Saintess’s pretty face alternated between red and pale. Since her memories began, she was taken as a disciple by the East Spirit Heavenly Venerate, bearing an incomparably noble status. When had she ever been molested like this? Even the Black Donkey’s cheap words made her infuriated, let alone being spanked directly by a man.

Not only did he spank her, but he also had the audacity to appraise her!

Fire seemed to spit from the Moon Shadow Saintess’s eyes. Now, she really wanted to kill!

"Saintess!" Just at that moment, the Scattering Flowers Granny and the other two approached from afar, walking on air. They had gotten separated while traversing the giant passage, but thankfully, they were not too far apart and had already found their way over.

"You bastard, I’m going to kill you!" The Moon Shadow Saintess ignored them; she had only one thought now—to kill this guy who dared to take advantage of her.

Boom! With a palm strike, the vigorous waves rolled out.

Zhou Heng stepped on the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, and in a single bound, he was already beside Scattering Flowers Granny, "Senior, your Saintess seems to have hit her head while passing through the passage, she’s acting a bit abnormal now!"

The Moon Shadow Saintess’s mouth half-opened in shock. How could there be such a shameless person in the world, actually playing the victim first!

Scattering Flowers Granny smiled and played peacemaker, "Saintess, Zhou Heng is a descendant of the Great Emperor, and he has deep ties with our sect. This journey is filled with unpredictable fortune and misfortune; it’s better to join hands and break through together!"

The other two nodded simultaneously. They had all heard of Zhou Heng’s illustrious battle achievements; even they could not take down the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch. Unless the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch was willing to engage in a death battle at the foot of East Spirit Mountain, then they could draw on the power of the East Spirit Mountain and truly wield strength close to the Divinity Transformation Realm, slaughtering all in the Divine Infant Realm.

The Moon Shadow Saintess’s face turned ashen. She wanted to expose Zhou Heng’s true face, but was she really going to talk about him spanking her? That unspeakable humiliation made her feel faint just thinking about it, let alone letting others know!

"No need, let’s go!" she said coldly.

Scattering Flowers Granny glanced at her and said, "Saintess, is there some misunderstanding between you and Zhou Heng?"

"No!" the Moon Shadow Saintess said with an ashen face, which pretty much gave everything away. Anyone could see something was off, but given her murderous look, who would dare provoke her now?

She moved quickly, not waiting for her spiritual power to recover, and immediately headed in the direction where the meteor had fallen.

—Another glance at Zhou Heng and she would go insane!

This brat was too hypocritical, maintaining the facade of a gentleman in front of others. If she attacked him again, she would appear unreasonable and overbearing, and then Scattering Flowers Granny and the others would surely intercede on behalf of the Great Eternal Emperor and the East Spirit Heavenly Venerate.

Once she breaks through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, she must make this brat pay!

As someone who could become a Half-Step Immortal, each one possessed a resolute mind, and the Moon Shadow Saintess chose to bide her time. Truthfully, she was aware of her own limitations—with Zhou Heng’s frightful constitution and blazingly fast movement technique, even if all four of them joined forces, they could at most drive him away; killing him was an impossibility—unless Zhou Heng went mad and engaged them in a death battle.

Scattering Flowers Granny sighed and quickly followed with the other two.

Although the Moon Shadow Saintess was from tens of thousands of years ago, she was only a little over two hundred years old in reality, not much different from a young girl in Scattering Flowers Granny’s eyes. She actually thought Zhou Heng was quite a match for their Saintess—on one hand was a descendant of the Ancient Great Emperor, gifted and exemplary, and on the other was their sect’s Saintess, a personal disciple of a Heavenly Venerate, both unrivaled in their own right!

These two were truly a match made by the heavens!

"How was the feel?" Once the four from the East Spirit Immortal Pond were far enough away, the Black Donkey approached Zhou Heng quite sleazily, drooling, "I’ve wanted to touch her for tens of thousands of years, but never had the chance. You’ve snagged a huge advantage, kid!"

Zhou Heng ignored it and immediately started walking. Now was not the time to waste; there were likely many others ahead of them already!

Though here was a boundless expanse of starry sky with no earth below or heavens above, there were countless meteors falling to serve as a guide, making it unmistakably clear to anyone who wanted to follow the direction without any possibility of getting lost.

After an entire half-month, a magnificent palace appeared before Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey. Its size was unimaginable, shining with a silver-white glow and exuding an incomparably noble aura.

It was unclear what material the palace was made of—it was like metal but also like jade, with the smoothness of jade and the dominance of metal.

Zhou Heng was struck by a thought and suddenly remembered the bone from the Nine Mystic Trial Tower that had given rise to the Corpse Spirit Flowers.

The textures of the two were very similar!

Could this palace be made entirely of Immortal Bone?

"So many people have actually come!" Black Donkey muttered angrily, "Why aren’t these guys afraid of dying!"

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but chuckle. This damn donkey had been scared to death before entering, but once inside, it feared others would compete for treasures, wishing to drive everyone away. He glanced around and saw that indeed many had entered.

There were at least a hundred people, mostly of the Divine Infant Realm. The Nascent Soul Realm was pitifully scarce—with no Divine Infant Realm cultivator to look after them, they’d likely die in that passage unless they had a freakish physique like Zhou Heng.

He spotted Zhao Anyuan, but unfortunately, the fellow was with the Zhao Family’s Old Ancestor, forcing Zhou Heng to abandon the delightful thought of rushing over and exploding the other’s face with a punch.

There will be plenty of opportunities!

Shooting stars streaked across the starry sky, a space with no real up or down since gravity was completely absent. Upon closer look, those weren’t shooting stars, but streams of light.

These rays of light all collided with the silvery-white palace, flowing and radiating around it like an undying Immortal Palace.

No one entered because the palace was emitting a powerful aura, preventing anyone from approaching. Zhou Heng saw a newly arrived Divine Infant Realm old ancestor offer a Treasure Artifact in an attempt to break in, but the radiance shifted, and that person’s body was blasted in half!

Luckily, he used the Treasure Artifact to block it. Although it shattered into a million pieces, he at least saved his life, else it would have been reduced to dust and bones!

"Thief!" A shout rang out, as a Divine Infant Realm old ancestor with fire in his eyes charged over, uncontrollably enraged.

It was one of those who had fought for the Corpse Spirit Flower before!

Zhou Heng sighed. Did these old fellows really think he was afraid to be their enemy just because he had been backing off? He summoned the Hundred Ghosts Sword and said, "Old guy, watch your mouth!"

The Divine Infant Realm old ancestor was so furious he almost passed out. The young man who was spouting nonsense himself had the audacity to tell him to watch his mouth. Was there anyone more shameless? He roared, his palms crossing to reveal a Mysterious Turtle deity, opening its mouth and spewing fog that filled the sky.

Zhou Heng was unafraid, charging straight into the fray, his sword moves rotating forcefully as he commenced battle with the Divine Infant Realm old ancestor.

The fierce clash stirred the vigorous Qi.

Conflicts between Martial Artists often erupted. Initially, the battle between Zhou Heng and the other didn’t attract much attention, but as soon as someone recognized Zhou Heng’s true Cultivation Level as only Nascent Soul Realm, everyone was visibly shocked.

A Nascent Soul Realm able to fight on par with a Divine Infant Realm—how inconceivably powerful was that?

Some recognized Zhou Heng. Others knew him through the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon as a descendant of the Great Emperor, and all were secretly astonished. At least half of those present had been sealed since the era of the Great Eternal Emperor, having personally witnessed the supreme might of the Emperor.

Having hidden for tens of thousands of years, they couldn’t use the Temporal Origin Liquid to seal themselves due to the Great Eternal Emperor’s immense strength, and thought they would be unmatched in this lifetime. Yet now, another descendant of the Great Emperor had appeared, with talents not inferior to the Emperor in his youth, and perhaps even surpassing him!

Did they have to live under the shadow of a second Great Emperor?

This time, they didn’t have Temporal Origin Liquid to continue their self-sealing to wait for tens of thousands of years.

The crowd had a complex look when they turned to Zhou Heng. Some hoped for another Great Emperor among humans to sweep aside Alien Races and revive the human supremacy, while others didn’t want such an Emperor above them!

Because, in today’s world, with the decline of the Martial Path, these Divine Infant Realm Experts could reign supreme. Who wanted to submit to others?

Zhou Heng was fighting with nearly all his might. The Hundred Ghosts Sword had already condensed a hundred Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures, continuously howling and significantly affecting the Divine Sense, making one instinctively want to cover their ears. The Spiritual Power Ghost Creature condensed around him was immensely powerful—every strike was so formidable that even a Divine Infant Realm old ancestor had to parry and dodge.

Capture the king to catch the thieves. As long as Zhou Heng was killed or the Hundred Ghosts Sword was taken, those Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures would naturally dissipate. But facing someone with a freakish body like Zhou Heng, which Divine Infant Realm could take him down in two or three moves?

If they couldn’t defeat him and had to keep parrying and dodging the Ghost Shadows, they would allow Zhou Heng time to recover, rendering their efforts in vain.

Moreover, due to the unique nature of the Hundred Ghosts Sword, a prolonged fight could lead to an uncertain outcome regarding who would be worn down first!

The Divine Infant Realm old ancestor couldn’t prevail after a long battle. Suddenly, he let out a long howl, flashed away, and chose to give up, leaving the fray.

If he had fought with all his might, perhaps he could’ve killed Zhou Heng, but who knew if Zhou Heng had any more trump cards? Besides, even if he did kill Zhou Heng, with so many eyes watching greedily around him, could he really take the Hundred Ghosts Sword for himself?

—As for the Corpse Spirit Flower, he had already forgotten about it. So many days had passed that it must’ve been completely assimilated.

Therefore, continuing the fight was meaningless. It was better to retreat for now. If he could obtain an Immortal Object from the Immortal Palace, killing this junior would be as easy as flipping his palm!

The crowd watched in silence. Although Zhou Heng’s Cultivation Level was still just Nascent Soul Realm, the fact that he had unceremoniously repelled a Divine Infant Realm cultivator meant no one dared to regard him as just an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

One man, one sword standing proudly, as if the Great Emperor had returned! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
