Chapter 434: Chapter 418 Mutually Restraining (2/3)

"Mighty is our lord!"

"Our lord is invincible!"

"Eternal glory to the Sea Clan!"

The followers of the Shui family brothers were shouting loudly; they had been holding back their frustration until now when their masters gained the upper hand, releasing all their pent-up emotions, shouting without regard for their appearances, their faces flushed with excitement.

In contrast, the expressions of Mo Keyan and his group looked ashen, akin to death. If Zhou Heng were to lose, not only would they perish, but the Little Crown Prince would also not escape unscathed!

Only the Black Donkey remained lazily unaffected, knowing Zhou Heng had many, many tricks up his sleeve that he hadn’t yet used, including the Nine Mystic Trial Tower—enough to save his life. The Shui brothers might be powerful, but could they compare to the Poisonous Vast Heavenly Venerate?

Zhou Heng snorted lightly, finally summoning the deities above his head. A golden figure emerged, radiating divine radiance, its hands coming together and then twisting to release an Overturning Heaven Palm.

Boom!

Two gigantic palms descended from the sky, aiming directly at the Shui brothers.

These palms were even faster than the Shui brothers’ tridents!

There was no helping it; these were domain attacks, where thoughts translated to instant attacks, naturally the fastest!

"Break!" The Shui brothers communicated mentally, not needing to exchange ideas, each raising their tridents to meet the palms from the skies.

Thud!

The tremendous noise was like the heavens tearing and the earth splitting, the terrifying power reverberating endlessly in the vast corridor, making the Spirit Sea Realm members of the Sea Clan stagger like drunkards.

Zhou Heng stood tall, his fists clenched, his gaze emitting a three-foot-long divine light, akin to a Heavenly God, radiating a domineering presence that seemed to say, "Who in the world dares to challenge me?"

The Shui brothers were not outdone, their three tridents raised as if they were celestial soldiers, capable of countering Zhou Heng’s imposing aura.

Yet the surrounding crowd was silent, their faces unmistakably grim.

Although the two sides seemed evenly matched for now, everyone knew that even if Zhou Heng were to lose this battle, the true expert was still Zhou Heng, not the Shui brothers!

—Three against one, doesn’t that tell you everything?

Even Mo Keyan and his group felt uncomfortable because the Shui brothers were among the top experts of the Sea Clan, their notoriety preceding even that of the King of the Sea Clan before Ao Guanglong broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Together, the three brothers were synonymous with invincibility, the pride of the entire Sea Clan!

And yet this pride was almost shattered now!

On one hand, Mo Keyan and his group did not wish for Zhou Heng to lose, but on the other, they did not want him to win either, hence their conflicting emotions.

"Is this all the strength you have? It’s not enough!" Zhou Heng shook his head and flipped his palm, the golden figure mirroring his action and flipping a palm as well, spiritual power merging with the deity to form a larger palm descending from the sky!

This was the true Overturning Heaven Palm, the most powerful of them all!

"Nine Palaces Transformation, Ninefold Tribulations!" the Shui brothers shouted in unison, their deities radiantly shining under the force of Zhou Heng’s aggressive push, forcing them to summon even greater battle power.

Countless fierce tridents soared into the sky to meet the descending palm.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—the piercing blades immediately created countless wounds on the giant palm, growing from small to large, eventually rendering it shapeless and completely neutralized.

"Kill!" the Shui brothers counterattacked, thrusting their tridents and stirring up the winds.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhou Heng unfolded his fists, the golden light of his fists flashing as he combatted the strong Divine Infant Realm trio and their Divine Infant Realm magic artifacts with his bare hands!

But the Shui brothers were no ordinary Divine Infant Realm individuals; each was half a step into the Divinity Transformation Realm, and their combined strength could even counter newly advanced Divinity Transformation Realm fighters!

Even Zhou Heng couldn’t combat them barehanded, and he immediately fell into disadvantage.

Complete disadvantage!

Ever since he had attained proficiency in his cultivation, this was the first time Zhou Heng had been suppressed in a fight by martial artists of the same realm. Of course, there were three of them, but that wasn’t the point; a true king should sweep all foes of the same rank, no matter how many!

Just like the Great Eternal Emperor of old who unified the entire Xuanqian Star—did others simply fight him one-on-one?

A true king should overpower all heavens with one hand!

Zhou Heng let out a long howl, fully unleashing his aura!

In the past, during his battle at the front of Heavenly Gate Mountain, his exploding aura caused hundreds of thousands from both armies to fall dead! His aura had long surpassed that of a same-realm Great Eternal Emperor! If the Great Eternal Emperor was a king, then he was truly an emperor!

The king among kings!

Boom!

With the surging aura, everyone except the Shui brothers and the Black Donkey was forced to kneel, even the Nascent Soul Realm experts turning pale, feeling chest pain as if their hearts were about to burst!

To achieve this purely with aura, only Zhou Heng could!

The Shui brothers, whose minds were linked, acting as one, found it relatively easy to combat attacks on the level of consciousness, but even so, they felt their hearts flickering, besieged by a sense of imminent collapse.

They were terrified—what kind of monster was this, being able to achieve such an effect with merely his aura?

To subdue the enemy without fighting!

The true emperor!

"Nine Tribulations turn to ash, a sacrificial strike!" the Shui brothers sang out together, their faces filled with resolute determination, their aura surged anew under the pressure from Zhou Heng, charging towards him.

After all, they were beings very close to the status of the Heavenly Venerate!

Boom!

Amidst the reverberating momentum, they forcefully burst forth, the Trident stirring up a mighty storm.

No matter how formidable Zhou Heng’s momentum was, as long as they stayed true to their hearts, they would not be shaken, and the combined strength of the three of them was absolutely above Zhou Heng’s. In this battle, they must win!

This battle was no longer about killing the Little Crown Prince or definitively determining the Royal Family heir of the Sea Clan, but about the dignity of the entire Sea Clan!

The Three Great Generals under the King must not be defeated!

Indeed, impressive!

Zhou Heng nodded inwardly, having to admit that this was power extremely close to the Divinity Transformation Realm. Even he could no longer confront them with just his fists! But his fists had always been his strongest weapon, for he was the Sword Emperor!

Hundred Ghosts Sword, come forth!

Feiyu Seven Swords, Leaf Falling Destiny Extinct!

The sentiment of separation unfolded momentarily, endless falling leaves whispering down, with lovers parting in bitter affection.

"Useless!" the Shui brothers shouted in unison. Integrated as one, their ability to resist mental attacks could even compare to a Divinity Transformation Heavenly Venerate!

"Wrong!" Zhou Heng smiled faintly. As his sword momentum swirled, a Spiritual Power Ghost Creature formed and hurtled toward the Shui brothers.

This was a Spiritual Body possessing the complete level of Zhou Heng’s Spiritual Power!

A terrifying counterpart a thousand times more powerful than the average Divine Infant Realm, its single-entity power even suppressed each of the Shui brothers!

But that wasn’t the key point; the key was that such Spiritual Bodies were continuously forming!

Ten, twenty, fifty, a hundred!

Damn, this kid is cheating!

The Shui brothers almost wanted to cry. You say you’re already freakishly aberrant on your own. How dare you cheekily summon so many Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures? How can this be considered fair play?

A full hundred Spiritual Bodies with the level of Zhou Heng’s Spiritual Power!

Although these lacked Spiritual Wisdom and knew no techniques, One Force Breaks Ten Thousand Laws, and with such numbers, they were like a flood of fierce beasts—who wouldn’t get goosebumps seeing this?

"Damn it!"

"Bring out the Immortal Cloud Pouch!"

All three Shui brothers passed the Trident to their left hand and then raised a large piece of red fabric, its center sunken as though blown by the wind, fluttering continuously.

Whish whish whish, ghostly shadows were instantly sucked into the red fabric and annihilated on the spot!

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

Zhou Heng and Black Donkey both let out a slight cry. Zhou Heng was curious about such a powerful Magic Artifact in their hands, while Black Donkey felt greedy, realizing this artifact could effortlessly capture Divine Infant Realm Spiritual Bodies—it must be of Divinity Transformation level!

But since Hundred Ghosts Sword was an Immortal Artifact, as long as Zhou Heng wielded it with full strength, the creation of Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures was endless. The moment one was sucked into the Immortal Cloud Pouch, another would regenerate without any pressure.

"Kill!"

The Shui brothers held the Immortal Cloud Pouch high with their right hand while swirling the Trident with their left hand, going full force to completely suppress Zhou Heng.

"Humph!" Zhou Heng swung the Hundred Ghosts Sword. The Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures required neither his intentional creation nor focused control; they were spontaneously formed by the sword technique, free of any burden.

The two sides clashed fiercely once again.

Even though the Immortal Cloud Pouch countered the special effects of the Hundred Ghosts Sword, it also required the Shui brothers to divert some of their Mental Strength to maintain it, naturally reducing their Battle Power significantly, resulting in a deadlock between the two sides.

A draw!

By tacit agreement, both sides ceased almost simultaneously, staring at each other, both openly radiating murderous intent.

If Zhou Heng truly played his trump card, he wasn’t out of methods to kill the three opponents.

With the Black Sword executing Sky-soaring Nine Forms, its power would absolutely surpass that of the Hundred Ghosts Sword using Feiyu Seven Swords, but using Sky-soaring Nine Forms would completely drain his Spiritual Power. At that moment, if Mo Keyan and his group turned against him, Zhou Heng had no confidence at all.

He would not entrust his life to others’ whims of good and evil.

Moreover, if he used the Black Snow Powder, he could definitely incapacitate those three people—although he might get caught himself, but it didn’t matter. Even without Spiritual Power, he still had the Brutal Strength of the Nascent Soul Realm peak, making him the strongest in the field!

But using Black Snow Powder on these three was somewhat a waste!

With more and more Heavenly Venerate emerging nowadays, Black Snow Powder was Zhou Heng’s secret weapon, naturally not to be wasted on three Divine Infant Realm individuals; the Shui brothers weren’t worth it!

There was no rush. After he finished refining this King-Level Puppet, his physique might just break into the Divinity Transformation Realm first, sufficient to suppress these three Divine Infant Realm peak beings.

After another standoff, the Shui brothers continued upward with their followers, while Zhou Heng and his group headed toward the core of the King-Level Puppet’s body.

"What a pity, those three tridents and that red pouch are really good treasures!" Black Donkey’s face showed a pained expression, as if those treasures originally belonged to him but were now snatched by the Shui brothers.

"Donkey, what do you need all those treasures for?" Zhou Heng just didn’t understand. Really, how many hands does this damn donkey have!

"I just like them, you got a problem with that?" Black Donkey wiggled his butt wrapped in a floral skirt, cheerfully running ahead while his donkey tail swung straight down.
