Chapter 455: Chapter 439: Annihilation with a Single Palm (2/3)

"You bunch of fools, lacking the skill so you accuse others of foul play, really now, you have neither vision nor backbone, sigh, it’s just too low class!" Black Donkey sighed, looking down on everyone with disdain.

The members of the Lin Family were consumed with grief and anger. Everyone might look down on them, but did Black Donkey have the right?

This damned donkey, shameless from head to hoof, was truly the scoundrel saint!

Zhou Heng said indifferently, "I don’t like to cause trouble, but I’m also not afraid to kill. Since you’ve provoked me, you must bear the consequences."

"Who exactly are you!" Lin Yuanshan yelled nearly hysterically. He heard the grim killing intent in Zhou Heng’s tone, and now they were all frozen with fear, unable to muster even a fraction of their power, let alone resist.

If they couldn’t escape this calamity, the least they wanted was to know who they had been killed by. Otherwise, they would be wronged even in death!

"Aren’t you guys a bit too oblivious?" scoffed Black Donkey. "Donkey Master’s fame resonates within and beyond the sea, unmatched and unrivaled in this world. Having seen Donkey Master, naturally you’ll also encounter his follower Zhou Heng!" Black Donkey said gleefully, as it couldn’t defeat Zhou Heng and was looking to gain the upper hand in banter.

"Zhou, Zhou Heng!"

Horror was written all over the faces of the Lin Family members. Zhou Heng’s name had been red hot lately. Who didn’t know he was a descendant of the Great Eternal Emperor, with a natural talent that was outstanding and unruly, even daring to beat up the son of the Heavenly Venerate!

If not for Li Wujie being instantly killed by the Poisonous Vast Heavenly Venerate, Zhou Heng might now be nothing but bones after a beating from Li Wujie!

Unfortunately, when Li Wujie invited the world’s experts to witness him, they had just received a clue to an ancient relic. All the experts had gone in search of it, and none had gone to the Poisonous Vast Sea, so not one of them recognized Zhou Heng!

Otherwise, they would have taken a more peaceful approach at first sight of Zhou Heng, instead of exuding murderous intent and putting themselves in a position where they might lose their heads.

Now aware of Zhou Heng’s identity, everyone was shocked, scared, and regretful, but there was no such thing as a pill for regret, so they could only swallow this bitter fruit.

"Zhou Heng, as a son of the Great Emperor, how can you resort to such despicable means!" Lin Yuanshan struggled desperately. "You’ve defeated us using such methods. Don’t you think it shames the Great Emperor’s reputation?"

"Indeed, release the poison from our bodies, and let us fight a glorious battle of life and death!" Lin Yuhua also said.

They were convinced that Zhou Heng must have used some dishonorable means to restrain their spiritual power, rendering them incapable of attacking. In a fair fight, they were actually not afraid of Zhou Heng!

After all, Zhou Heng had only managed a draw with Li Gang previously.

What was Li Gang’s cultivation level? Merely the Nascent Soul Realm!

They were also in the Nascent Soul Realm, and having gained great benefits in the previous relic, their strengths had significantly increased. Their battle power would definitely crush an average Nascent Soul Third Layer Heaven martial artist!

United, they would certainly beat Zhou Heng in a fair fight!

This was about their lives and possessions; naturally, they had to try. Hopefully, Zhou Heng’s youthful vigour would make him rise to the bait and give them this chance.

"Pah! You three old fools really have no shame. Three against one and you call that fair?" Black Donkey said indignantly. Just now, it had been beaten by these three old fools. Otherwise, it wouldn’t lose to any one of the Lin Family’s three ancestors.

The three Lin Family ancestors had lived for more than a thousand years, so naturally, they had thick skins. Hearing Black Donkey’s words, they just ignored it, challenging Zhou Heng, using the prestigious title of Great Eternal Emperor to pressure him.

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but laugh heartily, reining in his aura with a mere thought.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The three Lin Family ancestors immediately sprang up, hovering in mid-air. Their faces showed a trace of joy. Just now, it had really been a narrow escape from death. Hahaha, Zhou Heng was indeed youthful and impetuous, unable to withstand provocation!

Sigh, young people really lack experience. In a world of martial artists, who cares by what means you win a tough fight, as long as you can win?

In the world of martial artists, only the result matters, not the process!

However, since Zhou Heng missed this opportunity, it was now time for his demise!

"Die!" The three Lin Family ancestors shouted in unison, striking out towards the hovering Zhou Heng with a palm. Having suffered once, they didn’t dare get too close to Zhou Heng this time and were about a hundred feet apart when they slapped their palms down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Hurricanes surged and covered the sky!

"What a bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well!" Black Donkey shook its head, with a look of schadenfreude on its face.

How formidable was Zhou Heng! Previously, he faced three at once, slaughtering the Sea Clan’s three great generals like cutting grass! Those three great generals under the King were beings who had one foot into the Divinity Transformation Realm, and together, they could barely contend with a Heavenly Venerate!

Yet, they were killed, and their physical bodies were eaten by it and Wang Ke... Hmm, it tasted rather good, actually making it wish for another meal.

As Black Donkey drooled at the thought, Zhou Heng finally made his move, striking out with a palm.

Overturning Heaven Palm!

The Overturning Heaven Palm, when executed by Zhou Heng, whose spiritual power level had reached the Divine Infant Third Layer Heaven, was of an entirely different magnitude of power!

A golden palm descended from the sky, as large as a mountain, and it seemed as if it could easily wipe out the entire Seven Lush Mountains with a single strike!

Of course, that was just an illusion!

The golden palm sparked with boundless Divine Radiance as if an Immortal, enraged, had struck a palm from the Immortal Realm to suppress the mundane world!

"How is this possible!"

"How could someone in the Nascent Soul Realm be so powerful!"

"My life is in danger!"

The three Old Ancestors of the Lin Family exclaimed at the same time. Although they had not yet advanced into the Divine Infant Realm, they were close enough to become Half-Step Immortals—were they not people who lacked insight? This palm strike was bright and resplendent, rolling over tens of thousands of miles, its power limitless!

Bang!

A heavy sound echoed as the golden palm fell!

Black Donkey and Hong Tianfeng felt as if their ears were filled only with a rumbling noise, no longer able to hear any other sound. And the dust in the air formed a furious grey dragon dancing in the sky, blinding to the eyes.

Zhou Heng waved his right hand as if wiping a mirror clean, and the dust in the sky instantly disappeared, leaving the sky clear in a blink.

The people of the Lin Family were no longer visible!

Annihilated!

Hong Tianfeng stood there, his eyes wide and his mouth ajar. Among them were three Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestors!

To ordinary martial artists, be it the Nascent Soul Realm or the Divine Infant Realm, it represented absolute invincibility, allowing them to roam the world without any concern!

But right before his eyes, the three Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestors were bombarded to death with a single strike, without a trace of resistance!

"Brother Zhou, no no no, Senior Zhou!" Hong Tianfeng felt a mix of pride and terror in his heart, he had actually been chatting with such an expert as if they were brothers for so long!

Zhou Heng smiled and said, "Brother Hong, there’s no need for such formality! I respect Brother Hong for his righteousness, and for that, you truly deserve the title of Brother Hong!"

Hong Tianfeng was immensely touched, his hand on his head, his tiger-like eyes turning red.

"Zhou, hurry up and figure out a way to break the restriction. Don’t spout that sour talk; I’m about to be soured to death by you two!" Black Donkey was definitely a mood breaker, "Seriously, just shed some blood, you’re a descendant of the Great Emperor, maybe the formation will recognize you as its grandchild!"

Zhou Heng sighed and said, "Can’t you go a day without being shameless?"

"Pah! Don’t call this Donkey Master shameless, where have I been shameless?" Black Donkey stood on its hind legs, its ample posterior swaying as a flowery skirt fluttered in the breeze, exuding a deep-seated shamelessness.

After some thought, Zhou Heng still took out the Black Sword and drew it across his palm. The sword was incredibly sharp, and as long as Zhou Heng’s own strength was sufficient, there was nothing it couldn’t cut or slice. A sword stroke brought forth a gush of blood.

His physique had by then reached the Divinity Transformation Realm level, and his blood was almost at the highest tier, no longer the original bright red but instead a shade of gold, with faint streaks of purple-gold visible.

Zhou Heng believed that when most of his blood turned purple-gold, it would signify that his physique had reached Great Achievement and he could become an Immortal through his physical body!

Unfortunately, even after devouring an ancient King Level puppet, his physique had only reached about the Second Layer Heaven of the Divinity Transformation Realm. Did Xuanqian Star have any more metal essences for him to devour?

This Gold Devouring Clan bloodline was definitely a money burner!

If Xuanqian Star still had a Star Gate, he could travel to other planets. After looting the top metals from two or three planets, he should be able to become an Immortal through his physical body!

Alas, now the Star Gate was nowhere to be found, and even if found, it may very well have been damaged over the years, reducing these thoughts to mere wishful thinking!

The most realistic plan was to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm as soon as possible in terms of his Spiritual Power level. Then he would qualify to fight for the Star Core, thereafter breaking through to Immortality and leading those around him into the Immortal Realm.

With countless thoughts racing through his mind, Zhou Heng pressed his palm against the restriction. If his bloodline was of any use, the restriction would surely react.

Black Donkey couldn’t help stretching its neck out.

One second, ten seconds, one minute!

No change at all.

"Damn, Zhou, are you really of pure descent? How come it’s completely useless?" Black Donkey raged.

"Asking for a kick!" Zhou Heng kicked Black Donkey’s rear.

"Strange, in theory, your bloodline even surpasses that of the Great Eternal Emperor from those days. How could there be no reaction whatsoever?" Black Donkey sat on the ground, lifted its front hooves to scratch an itch, looking no different from a big black dog.

"If it cannot be opened, then it cannot be opened, but I have a feeling that this formation will unravel by itself soon enough," Zhou Heng said.

"How do you know?" Black Donkey asked.

"It’s just a feeling!" Zhou Heng didn’t explain, and indeed, he simply had that feeling. He believed that if there were other Heavenly Venerates present, they would share the same sentiment.

This formation was not established to protect the inheritance of the Great Eternal Emperor; instead, it was automatically triggered due to the natural upheavals of heaven and earth.

This was thought-provoking.

What was the intention of the Great Eternal Emperor in doing this?

To Zhou Heng, it might be a contingency left by the unparalleled Emperor of history, meant to deal with the masters of the Four Great Death Places!

Nobody knew whether the Great Emperor had fallen or ascended to immortality, but in any case, the likelihood of him still being on Xuanqian Star was nearly zero! Given that, although he had stopped the masters of the Four Great Death Places from seizing the Star Core once before, all his previous efforts would have been in vain if he did nothing.
