Chapter 438 - 422: Overwhelming the Three Admirals (3/3)

Chapter 438: Chapter 422: Overwhelming the Three Admirals (3/3)

Shui Yuanning naturally realized what was happening; he hadn’t paid attention before, but as soon as he saw Wang Ke and Ao Kongshan, he immediately noticed that the gravity in this area had vanished completely!

Why would gravity disappear? Because it was brought about by a King-Level Puppet, it naturally might also be extinguished by one!

Indeed, upon testing, he found that this King-Level Puppet had in fact become nothing more than a hunk of ordinary iron!

Why had this happened? He had no idea, but it never occurred to him to associate it with Zhou Heng because even if the Great Eternal Emperor were to come back to life, he wouldn’t be able to destroy this King-Level Puppet, let alone Zhou!

Unless a true Immortal had descended to the mortal plane!

There are many strange phenomena in the world; if one can’t figure it out, there’s no use dwelling on it.

It took a moment for the strong members of the Sea Clan to snap out of their daze, and then they began attacking the iron wall with their limbs and weapons, flaking off large chunks of iron as if they were digging through mud.

"Despicable, despicable donkey!" They all glared angrily at the Black Donkey. The donkey had nearly made them kneel with its deceit. How detestable!

The Black Donkey couldn’t help but snicker, pitying that it hadn’t seen them kneel, all because Shui Yuanning reacted too quickly. It turned around, raised its hindquarters towards the audience, and taunted, "Not convinced? Come and bite me!"

This despicable, shameless donkey, how utterly nauseating!

"Humph, just a crowd-pleaser!" Shui Yuanning snorted disdainfully, and with a sweep of his Trident, he unleashed a streak of cold light, which flew towards the Black Donkey with astounding speed.

Zhou Heng reached out and controlled it, and the streak of cold light instantly paused. With a clench of his fingers, the cold light was annihilated! He looked at Shui Yuanning with cold, murderous eyes.

Zoom, zoom!

Shui Dongliu and Shui Qianjun leaped into action simultaneously. Although they had been meditating and cultivating before, their minds were in sync with Shui Yuanning’s. As soon as Shui Yuanning sensed Zhou Heng’s boiling, fiery murderous intent, they could no longer remain seated.

—In a one-on-one fight, neither of them was a match for Zhou.

The three stood side by side, each wielding a Trident, their auras unfathomably powerful. They were getting ever closer to reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, making impressive progress every day, their strength almost doubling compared to before.

Of course, should they truly step into the Divinity Transformation Realm, their strength would undoubtedly increase by thousands of times!

"There’s no way through here, get lost!" Shui Dongliu shouted. They were only a step away from the Divinity Transformation Realm, and this was not the best time to start a fight.

"Nonsense, do you think you could stop me if I wanted to run?" The Black Donkey threw its hoof. With a surge of vigorous power, there was a loud rumble, and the entire head of the puppet shattered instantaneously, letting in the sunlight and revealing a bright space.

Shui Dongliu was involuntarily taken aback, having assumed that the interior of the puppet was impregnable, but now, this place was no longer a Confinement Cage, and guarding this so-called "exit" had become pointless.

If Zhou Heng and his group wanted to escape, they could do it from any direction.

No, they absolutely couldn’t let them escape with the Little Crown Prince, whose bloodline was the closest to that of the Ancient Dragon Ancestor. If they gave him the chance to grow up, he would surely become a confidant’s big problem for the Crown Prince—this secret was something they had only recently discovered, and it was also the reason they were determined to personally pursue and kill Ao Kongshan. They could not trust anyone else with this task!

For their nephew, even if it meant sustaining heavy injuries, they had to eliminate Zhou Heng and all his companions!

Without needing to communicate, as their minds were in tune, Shui Dongliu and the others all understood the unwavering resolve of the two brothers.

Zhou Heng gave a faint smile and said, "It seems you’ve decided to fight! Good, I too wish to sever your heads!"

"Presumptuous!" The three brothers of the Shui family all shouted sternly. Just a few months ago, they were on par with Zhou Heng, but with each passing month, their progress could be described as leaping and bounding, whereas how could Zhou’s gains alone compare to the three of them combined?

In this battle, they had to win; they just didn’t know the cost they would pay.

"Zhou, move it!" The Black Donkey shamelessly retreated. Not that it was any match for the three Shui brothers, but even if it were, it would never risk its life.

"Since it’s a fight you want, spare the idle talk, come and battle!" Zhou Heng charged forward, bringing forth a gust of wind.

His level of Spiritual Power was still the same as before, so naturally, there was no improvement in the speed of his movement technique, but his speed was already not slow, especially when performing the Swift Cloud Radiant Step.

"Hmm!" Shui Dongliu and the others heightened their vigilance. Previously, they had been fighting in a super-gravity environment, but now it was completely different. The opponent’s speed and strength would see great changes, and they had to readjust quickly!

Zhou Heng, however, didn’t take advantage of his swift movement technique to conduct a guerrilla warfare. Instead, he stormed straight up the middle, attacking head-on.

"Courting death!" The three brothers shrieked in unison, launching their Tridents toward Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng punched out, and his golden fist shone brilliantly, lighting up the sky and earth.

Boom!

Divine Radiance flashed intensely, and the fearsome force radiated outwards, causing everyone present to stagger as if drunk.

The Shui brothers retreated continuously, tumbling back until they were a hundred zhang away. Only then did they take to the sky, their faces betraying unmistakable shock.

They knew the gravity around them had changed, that Zhou Heng’s strength would inevitably transform, but the magnitude of this change was far beyond what they had anticipated!

This is absolutely impossible!

Their combined strength was extremely close, extremely close to entering the Divinity Transformation Realm, as each of them was nearly at the peak of the Divine Infant Realm. One more step would take them to the Divinity Transformation Realm! Unless there were quadruplet brothers identical to them in the world, no one could possibly overpower them in terms of strength.

Zhou Heng’s Spiritual Power fluctuations clearly indicated he was in the Divine Infant Realm, so why could he unleash such terrifying strength?

This is... pure physical strength!

Moreover, how come the tips of the Trident were somewhat bent?

The horror on the faces of Shui Dongliu and his brothers intensified. It wasn’t just the terrifying physical strength but his physique as well, which was so formidable that it could break a Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact, truly defying the heavens!

"Aiyo, my treasure!" Before the Shui brothers had the chance to lament, Black Donkey was already crying out, looking as heartbroken as if his own mother had died, almost causing Shui Dongliu and his brothers to explode in anger—they weren’t even dead yet, and this damn donkey was already thinking of their three Tridents as its own!

Zhou Heng gave a slight shake of his fists. At this moment, he himself was a Divine Infant Artifact, an incarnation of the Divinity Transformation Realm. Without an Immortal Artifact, who could harm him? Even if the Great Eternal Emperor were to come back to life or the Poisonous Vast Heavenly Venerate restored his former battle power, it would take an incalculable amount of time to damage his flesh with tedious effort!

He soared forth, attacking the three Shui brothers with both fists swinging, golden light glittering in the air with every punch.

The Shui brothers had no time for astonishment as Zhou Heng’s overwhelming assault forced them to defend with all their might. Ding, ding, ding, the sound of fists striking Trident was incessant, and even with their combined strength, they could not withstand Zhou Heng and were pushed continuously backward.

The Three Great Generals under the King were beyond words with shock, feeling as if they were facing not a human of the Divine Infant Realm but an ancient Ferocious Beast in human skin, one whose mere physical strength could tear the heavens and split the earth!

"Summon the Immortal Cloud Pouch!" The three shouted in unison, shaking out that piece of red cloth, which fluttered in the wind. "Collect!" They called out again together.

The red cloth flipped over, unleashing a tremendous pulling force!

Zhou Heng stood firm as a rock, utterly immovable!

"Impossible!" The Shui brothers exclaimed in shock, their astonishment reaching its peak.

Although the Immortal Cloud Pouch had the word ’Immortal’ in it, it was in fact not an Immortal Artifact but a high-tier Divine Infant Artifact, a Quasi-Divinity Transformation Realm Magic Artifact. With sufficient strength, it could capture any entity in the Divine Infant Realm, truly formidable!

However, Zhou Heng was now in the Divinity Transformation Realm. Although it was only at the physical tier of the Divinity Transformation Realm and did not receive recognition from the Laws of Heaven and Earth, making it a low-quality item of the Divinity Transformation Realm, even the lowliest Heavenly Venerate is still a Heavenly Venerate, having crossed that threshold!

How could the Immortal Cloud Pouch possibly capture him?

—The reason the Immortal Cloud Pouch could compete with the Hundred Ghosts Sword previously was not that the Hundred Ghosts Sword was inadequate, but rather Zhou Heng’s level of Spiritual Power wasn’t enough. He could only summon Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures of the Divine Infant Realm, which were precisely susceptible to it!

The Shui brothers stared dumbfounded at Zhou Heng. Since the Immortal Cloud Pouch couldn’t capture Zhou Heng, there was only one explanation left—the other party was a being from the Divinity Transformation Realm.

How is that possible!

Just a month ago, Zhou Heng was clearly just in the Second Layer Heaven of the Divine Infant Realm. Moreover, there had been no fluctuations indicating someone breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm in the past month, so how had this kid suddenly become a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate?

"How could this be?"

"What kind of extraordinary fortune did you stumble upon here?"

The Shui brothers all demanded of Zhou Heng, utterly baffled. If they could not resolve this mystery, they would not rest in peace even in death!

"Do you think I would tell you?" Zhou Heng sneered, seeing no need to explain to a few dying men.

"Nonsense!" Shui Dongliu and his brothers bellowed in unison, exerting all their power and launching a counterattack at Zhou Heng.

As Three Great Generals under the King and terrifiers of the entire Sea Clan, they certainly had their strengths. They unleashed secret technique after secret technique, enormously powerful, capable of killing someone at the level of the Blood-Soaked Heavenly Monarch in an instant!

But against the aberrant Zhou Heng, it was all to no avail. Any attack that landed on him was like flowery punches and embroidered kicks against an iron board—only serving to injure themselves!

In the past, Li Wujie had imbued Li Gang with his Big Shot power, even making it impossible for Zhou Heng to land a hit on his opponent, and that was the suppression of Realm! Now it was the same, only Zhou Heng was not transformed into intangible flames but rather solidified to the extreme, impervious even to assault from a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate!

If even a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate could not break him, what could three mere Quasi-Divinity Transformation Realm beings do?

Facing such brute physical force, even presenting Gu Yan’s Immortal Bone would be futile. In a head-on clash, the Immortal Bone wouldn’t break, nor would Zhou Heng’s body, and the only thing likely to shatter would be the opponent’s hands and arms!

Shui Dongliu and his brothers pulled out all stops, indeed proving to be the strongest Divine Infant Realm beings Zhou Heng had ever encountered. Before this, even he would have paid a price to win. But now, he held the upper hand with certainty!

He pressed forward fiercely, and with a shake of his right hand, the Black Sword was finally unleashed. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote and support on Qidian [qidian.com]. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
