Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 439 - 423: Physique Invincible (1/3)

Chapter 439: Chapter 423: Physique Invincible (1/3)

Zhou Heng unleashed the Black Sword, which meant he wanted to end the battle quickly.

"Retreat!" The Shui brothers shouted in unison, realizing they were no match for Zhou Heng; continuing the fight could very well cost them their lives!

They were about to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm. At that point, the three brothers, united as one, could vanquish any newly ascended Heavenly Venerate. Such was their domineering power; to die here would be too wrongful!

"You can’t escape!" Zhou Heng snorted coldly, his left hand opening to unleash the Overturning Heaven Palm. Boom! Boom! Boom! The Palm Force erupted, instantly subduing the Shui brothers, rendering their escape impossible.

This was an Immortal Technique. Although limited by the level of Zhou Heng’s Spiritual Power and unable to demonstrate its full might, it was entirely sufficient to suppress Martial Artists of the same realm. The only downside was its substantial consumption of Spiritual Power.

But now, Zhou Heng’s physique had entered the Divinity Transformation Realm, making Spiritual Power a secondary concern for him. He could afford to squander it freely, using every last drop without any issue.

He could afford to be reckless, expending Spiritual Power as if it cost him nothing, but it was a major problem for the Shui brothers. Although they were on the defensive, which consumed less energy, Zhou Heng also had the brute physical strength of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Whoosh!

Zhou Heng forcefully penetrated their defenses, the Black Sword raised, and slashed towards the Shui brothers.

"Hmph!" The Three Great Generals under the King roared in unison, raising their Tridents high to counterattack Zhou Heng. Although outmatched, the three Generals, after all, were still the three Generals; even in defeat or retreat, they had to do so with dignity and aplomb.

Clang!

The Black Sword swept through, slicing a segment off all three Tridents at once, the Broken Blade moving like a shooting star.

"What!" The Shui brothers exclaimed together, never expecting that the ordinary-looking black Broken Sword could be so sharp! Their Tridents were Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifacts; how could they be so easily broken by a sword?

The Black Sword was an Immortal Artifact of absolutely top-tier, high-end quality; it had even left a mark on a King Level Puppet! If it weren’t for Zhou Heng’s insufficient strength, he could have sliced through that King Level Puppet with a single stroke!

Now that Zhou Heng’s strength had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, wielding the Black Sword made cutting through Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifacts as easy as flipping his hand.

"Ah, my treasure!" The Black Donkey cried out in agony, yelling, "Zhou, take it easy! That’s my precious, if you damage it any more, I’ll fight you to the end!"

The Shui brothers were both shocked and enraged. The Black Donkey was already lamenting their loss, fueling the fire in their hearts. If not for Zhou Heng being overpoweringly strong, they would have liked to set one aside to slaughter that despicable donkey first!

They were filled with hatred. Previously fearing the cost would be too great, they had refrained from fighting Zhou Heng to the death. Yet as they improved, Zhou Heng’s progress was even greater, now holding the power to execute them—how could they not hate, not regret?

"Nowhere to retreat!"

"Activate the Devouring Origin Technique!"

"Sacrifice a hundred years of my lifespan for a life-taking strike!"

The Three Great Generals of the Sea Clan burst out in anger. The three acted as one, releasing a dazzling brilliance. They merged their Tridents together, the broken tips shining brilliantly as they furiously stabbed towards Zhou Heng.

It was as if a Golden Crow was plummeting, its light outshining the world, resplendent beyond comparison.

Zhou Heng stood with his sword, not dodging or flinching.

"Seeking death!" The Sea Clan Generals were both shocked and delighted. This life-taking blow was the result of their collective sacrifice of a hundred years of their lifespans, and its power could match that of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

This was their true trump card, their ultimate move, which they would not use unless absolutely necessary!

It was a double-edged sword!

Zhou Heng actually intended to take this hit head-on? Despite his ability to contend with Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifacts with his bare fists, those were just Divine Infant Realm Artifacts, while the gap between Divinity Transformation Realm and Divine Infant Realm was a Great Trench!

If this youngster was so confident, then let him face death!

When the three Tridents combined, it was not just the Generals sacrificing a hundred years of lifespan for their strongest blow but also their combined effort and the special Cultivation Technique they practiced that layered their Battle Power, boosting it by at least a hundredfold!

This blow, not to mention Zhou Heng, even Ao Guanglong, the Emperor of their Sea Clan, wouldn’t dare to take it head-on; a hit to a vital point would mean certain death!

Boom!

The Trident tips struck down, the blinding light replacing the sun in the sky, leaving everyone as if blind, seeing nothing, as though their eyes had failed them.

It came suddenly and left just as quickly. The glaring brightness vanished into a point as if swallowed by a Black Cave. Everyone hastily refocused their eyes, only to see the broken tips of the three Tridents pressing against Zhou Heng’s chest but utterly unable to penetrate; rather, the Trident bodies were bent out of shape, twisted like pretzel sticks!

Turning to the Shui brothers, they had split their palms, blood dripping steadily to the ground, yet they appeared confused, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

They could not accept such an outcome!

There stood Zhou Heng, not dodging or flinching, taking their strongest hit without issue. And the result? Zhou Heng was completely unharmed, not even a scratch on his skin, while they had shattered their palms!

And because they had exerted the power of the Divinity Transformation Realm in a short burst, they had even twisted their Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifacts!

Is this guy in front really human? Are you sure he’s not a King Level puppet that just looks very human-like?

"Ouch, damn it, that hurts like hell, my treasure—," Black Donkey wailed as if mourning a death. "Zhou, I’m your sworn enemy!" It glared at Zhou Heng with a vengeance.

Zhou Heng merely smiled lightly and said, "But it was them who damaged it, it has nothing to do with me! I will avenge you!"

The Shui brothers felt like dying. After all, the tridents were their magic artifacts. What did it have to do with others if they were damaged? But they had no chance to retort, for Zhou Heng’s sword was already slicing down!

They wanted to retreat, but Zhou Heng’s other hand was holding all three tridents at the same time, with tremendous strength, and they couldn’t shake them free!

Seeing the sword strike coming, they dared not block it with their bodies and were forced to let go, retreating in a sorry state.

Abandoning one’s magic artifact is a disgrace for a martial artist, especially to the Shui brothers; the three tridents were their symbols, and who in the Sea Clan had not seen them?

But now their weapons were snatched away, and they were utterly helpless, which brought about a strong sense of defeat, as Zhou Heng’s power had made them desperate!

Not just power! In terms of brute strength, Zhou Heng was still not as strong as their king, and the three of them could barely fend him off together. But Zhou Heng’s defense was too abnormal. Even if they made it to the Divinity Transformation Realm, could they really do anything to him?

Zhou Heng casually wiped his hand, erasing the divine sense the Shui brothers left on the tridents, and then tossed them to Black Donkey, saying, "Catch!"

Black Donkey quickly reached out with its hooves to catch the three tridents, with a look of joy on its face—it hadn’t come for nothing this time. But its greed flared once again, "Zhou, there’s also that red pouch. It’s perfect for covering my ass!"

"Big Mouth Donkey, you’re too greedy!" Wang Ke couldn’t bear to see it and stood up to chide righteously.

"What do you know, brat!" Black Donkey rolled its huge eyes, not bothering to argue with the child.

Zhou Heng, brandishing his sword and exuding a chilling murderous aura, had now entered the Divinity Transformation Realm and had become an almost indestructible existence in the Mortal Realm. But that wasn’t enough! With Xuanqian Star on the brink of death, he had to take those around him to another planet or the Immortal Realm, which required him to break through the Divinity Transformation Realm with his spiritual power.

He needed to become stronger!

Kill!

His feet performed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, and he caught up with the three Shui brothers in just a few steps. The Broken Sword swung out, unleashing the Sky-soaring Nine Forms!

Now, he no longer had to worry about the depletion of spiritual power after performing the Sky-soaring Nine Forms. It was ideal for a swift battle, after all, his brutal strength was just barely at Divinity Transformation Realm, enough to suppress the combined efforts of the Shui brothers, but it would take a long time to kill them.

He did not want to waste any more time!

Kill!

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth darkened, as if doomsday had arrived!

As Zhou Heng’s strength grew, the movements caused by each use of the Sky-soaring Nine Forms became more significant. Darkness spread across a thousand miles—all lay beneath his Sword Intent, life and death decided by his single thought!

Even he was startled by the sheer range of it!

But now was not the time for awe. Zhou Heng’s expression hardened, and the Black Sword descended.

Not just the Shui brothers, but everyone from the Sea Clan, including Black Donkey, could feel an incredibly sharp Sword Intent threatening them, ready to obliterate at the sword master’s whim.

No escape, no hiding!

What kind of swordsmanship is this?

The Shui brothers were in despair. The profoundness of this swordsmanship far exceeded the Overturning Heaven Palm they had seen before; it was not something they could contend with!

Swish—a dazzling light streaked through the darkness, and it was all over in an instant.

When the darkness lifted, Black Donkey, Mo Keyan, and others were dumbfounded because, whether it was the Shui brothers or other members of the Sea Clan, they were all lying dead with blood flowing.

They believed that just now, if Zhou Heng wished, even if there were tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people here, they would all be annihilated in an instant!

Such a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sword!

Yet they didn’t know that the original owner of Black Sword once swept across with a single strike, and merely an aftereffect had cleaved off a piece of the Fairy Continent. What level of immense power was that?

That would probably knock them unconscious from sheer fright!

Zhou Heng sheathed the Black Sword, and his spiritual power was entirely drained after that one swing. Fortunately, his physical constitution had now surpassed his spiritual power level, so it didn’t cause him any trouble.

"Wow, so much seafood!" Wang Ke exclaimed happily. To this little foodie, these great generals of the Sea Clan were no different from the pigs and dogs he usually saw—they were just there to fill his belly.

Hearing Little Foodie say this, Ao Kongshan, Mo Keyan, and others twitched in their faces, as dark as could be.

Those were the Three Great Generals under the King, so heroic and powerful. Even though they were enemies in life, in death, they deserved respect and should be returned for burial deep in the sea.
