Chapter 458 - 442: The Weakest in History? The Strongest in History! (2/3)

Chapter 458: Chapter 442: The Weakest in History? The Strongest in History! (2/3)

Cheng Shangchen retreated more than a hundred yards before he stopped dead in his tracks, stood up straight, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Anger filled his face, coupled with a sense of grievance.

Wasn’t it true that by strength alone he completely overpowered Zhou Heng, yet because he despised Zhou Heng to his core, convinced that he was the weakest Heavenly Venerate in history, he begun by trying to overpower him with his aura?

Aura is related to one’s realm, but it’s not exactly the same.

Normally, a martial artist of a higher realm can absolutely overpower one of a lower realm with their aura because aura is a manifestation of a martial artist’s confidence and will. However, there are exceptions, like Zhou Heng, who could intimidate real Nascent Soul realm practitioners with his aura even before he himself had stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm!

And now, although his spiritual power had not yet entered the Divinity Transformation Realm, as a Physique Heavenly Venerate, his confidence and will had naturally seen significant improvement, not to mention Cheng Shangchen, even his own father wouldn’t imagine oppressing Zhou Heng!

Here’s a new Heavenly Venerate who can’t compare to anything else but still insists on competing with Zhou Heng in terms of aura, isn’t this asking for embarrassment?

It took a while for the crowd to recover, and when they looked at Zhou Heng again, their gaze naturally carried traces of surprise.

Even though aura is not the same as actual strength, it’s still a pretty direct representation of power, and every imposing Heavenly Venerate has an awe-inspiring presence that can make others submit without a fight.

For instance, the Great Eternal Emperor of ancient times not only had the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon that specialized in vanquishing evil beings, but he also possessed the majesty of a true dragon, which reduced his opponents’ battle power by a third the moment they confronted him; how could they even fight him?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Heng had not only inherited this trait but also taken it to new heights!

It’s truly inconceivable, how could someone known as the weakest Heavenly Venerate in history possess such a terrifying aura? It’s too strange; these two should not exist within the same person!

Cheng Shangchen soon regained his composure, for what use was a strong aura if the battle power depended on all aspects? He wasn’t injured, with but a step, he hovered in the air as if stepping on the surface of water, sending out a ripple of black waves that spread out endlessly through the heavens and earth.

Like a Divine King setting out on a journey, he stepped forward step by step, waves upon waves of ripples churning, revealing his entire aura.

He is a Heavenly Venerate, mighty beyond measure!

Zhou Heng had to admit that this guy was at least ten times stronger than Ying Cheng’en—maybe even more! The other party was showing his full strength naturally because he had suffered a small setback just now, losing some face, and he wanted to regain his dignity this way.

"Hmph, take this finger strike!" Cheng Shangchen coldly snorted. At their level, they naturally didn’t bother with finding excuses; a loss was a loss, and any further justification could only damage their face further!

He would take back what he lost with real strength!

What irked him especially was that after his minor loss to Zhou Heng, Cangao Muyue actually kept staring at Zhou Heng with eyes full of sparkling red stars!

To him, a woman at the Nascent Soul Realm was good enough to be his match, and what’s more, Cangao Muyue had a powerful Heavenly Venerate backing her up, one with great potential for growth. This was someone he planned to recruit on his father’s behalf!

It may be that the Poisonous Vast Heavenly Venerate could dominate in the Mortal Realm, but once one ascended to Immortality, they had to start everything again from scratch. What’s a mere newly ascended Immortal worth in the Immortal Realm?

If someone has support, especially someone with tremendous potential for growth, then they might carve out their own territory in the Immortal Realm!

After all, everyone who ascends from the Mortal Realm to the Immortal Realm has great talents, and only through enduring hardships and setbacks have they grown up, with unwavering will, possessing the potential to be someone extraordinary!

That’s why these three esteemed young men have come to visit, all with the intention of recruiting the Blazing Flame Demon Venerate!

What kind of alliance is most reliable? Naturally, an in-law relationship!

Besides, Cangao Muyue’s conditions are quite satisfying, and all three young Heavenly Venerates are attracted!

—In fact, there are two more excellent prospects for marriage, one being Yang Zitong from Thunder Light Valley, who is a Heavenly Venerate herself! However, Yang Zitong is also the master of another of the Four Great Death Places, competing with the other three families, so who would be the boss then? This is a very serious and realistic issue!

The other is the Moon Shadow Saintess, also a Heavenly Venerate, and moreover, without a stronger Heavenly Venerate behind her. As long as she is won over by love, that’s a powerful ally for free!

Unfortunately, they had not been in the world long enough to have met this female Venerate.

To lose the sesame while picking up the watermelon is a foolish thing to do, and no one would dare say that they could win the heart of the Moon Shadow Saintess. Hence, Cangao Muyue is currently the best target for pursuit, but unexpectedly, Cangao Muyue seems to have set her sights on Zhou Heng!

This is utterly outrageous!

Cheng Shangchen snorted coldly. With a flick of his finger, it was as if a Heavenly God descended to the mortal world. His fingertip drew a trail of Divine Radiance, overflowing with endless brilliancy, pressing down upon Zhou Heng.

A mere weakest Heavenly Venerate in history, is he qualified to face him head-on?

Zhou Heng let out a long howl, and his right fist thundered out. His golden fist was like a deity standing between heaven and earth, filled with a supreme aura.

Bang!

Fist and finger collided, resonating with a tremendous bang.

The Blazing Flame Demon Venerate and the other three Heavenly Venerates quickly deployed their Great Strength, containing the force of the collision within a small area, so as not to let the battle between the two Heavenly Venerates collapse the heavens and the earth.

Amidst the spreading dust, Zhou Heng retreated ten miles, while Cheng Shangchen indeed had the upper hand in strength, not moving an inch.

This should have been a cause for Cheng Shangchen to burst into laughter, but him, the Blazing Flame Demon Venerate, Gong Hong’en, Zuoqiu Wenguan, all showed expressions of extreme surprise, even surpassing their reactions when Cheng Shangchen was initially repelled by Zhou Heng’s aura.

This was because Zhou Heng had unleashed his ultimate strength, and the level of his spiritual power was naturally laid bare.

——Only at the Divine Infant Third Layer Heaven!

Of course, if we do not consider those Heavenly Venerates, with Zhou Heng’s terrifying accumulation of Spiritual Power, he would be enough to rank first on the continent! But even the strongest at the Divine Infant Realm, how could they be qualified to confront a Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerate head-on?

This is an absolute crush!

But Zhou Heng did it, and although he was slightly at a disadvantage with this punch, he was not inferior to Cheng Shangchen in terms of level.

Physique Heavenly Venerate!

Hiss!

This kid isn’t the weakest Heavenly Venerate in history—on the contrary, he might become the strongest Heavenly Venerate in history!

"What a powerful defensive power!" The Blazing Flame Demon Venerate had far more experience than Cheng Shangchen and the other two. He saw more in that strike—Zhou Heng was actually unscathed, his Divine Body radiated dazzling light, like an indestructible, immortal king!

Reminded by him, Cheng Shangchen, Gong Hong’en, and Zuoqiu Wenguan’s faces changed simultaneously.

Zhou Heng not only possessed the power of a Physique Heavenly Venerate, but his body’s strength was also incredibly formidable—at least far beyond theirs! What if one day Zhou Heng’s Spiritual Power level jumped to the Divinity Transformation Realm?

Who in the world could be his enemy then?

At the very least, they were definitely not capable. Just that layer of defense placed Zhou Heng on invincible grounds!

No good, such a person must be eliminated immediately!

The three young Heavenly Venerates simultaneously revealed a fierce light, and without a sound, they formed a triangle around Zhou Heng, each with Divine Radiance flowing around them, even bringing out their fully achieved Deities.

A sea of poison, a volcano, a mass of shadows!

Zhou Heng was not the least bit afraid; on the contrary, he burst into laughter, revealing a strong eagerness for battle.

In the past, the Great Eternal Emperor fought alone against the masters of the Four Great Death Places, how heroic and domineering he was! Now, after tens of thousands of years, history seemed remarkably similar, with him fighting alone against the descendants of the Four Great Death Places!

"It’s a pity, one is missing!" he expressed with a hint of regret.

What, what!?

Facing the joint attack of three Heavenly Venerates, he still lamented the lack of opponents? People have seen arrogance before, but never such madness!

Cheng Shangchen and the other two were furious, yet their faces did not show much expression; instead, the murderous aura around them grew denser.

"Father!" Cangao Muyue tugged at the clothing of the Blazing Flame Demon Venerate, "Please, stop them!"

The Blazing Flame Demon Venerate couldn’t help but smile and said, "What, have you taken a fancy to this lad?"

"What nonsense are you saying!" Cangao Muyue, both embarrassed and annoyed, stomped her Little Savage Boots hard. Two snow-white wings rose high, revealing the unrest in her heart.

"Still know how to feel ashamed?" The Blazing Flame Demon Venerate laughed even harder; he had rarely seen his beloved daughter blush. Then, he nodded to himself and said, "Considering his background, this kid is a descendant of the Great Eternal Emperor, and considering his own strength and talent, he indeed has a soaring potential. He is barely a match for my beloved daughter!"

"Father, I won’t bother with you anymore!" Cangao Muyue’s pretty face turned red with embarrassment, and after stomping her feet several times, she lowered her head and began to fiddle with the corner of her clothes.

Beautiful women love heroes, especially a proud princess like Cangao Muyue, for whom ordinary men do not even qualify to catch her eye! Her father is the most powerful and influential person under the heavens, so naturally, her threshold for choosing a spouse is based on her father!

She couldn’t settle for someone far beneath her father!

But with such a criterion, how many men in the world could pass?

At least, before a year ago, there was not one!

Until now, when the environment of heaven and earth has drastically changed, with Ancient Outstanding People emerging frequently, Divinity Transformation Realm Heavenly Venerates have been popping up one after another, creating a scene of many flowers blooming alongside each other.

If Zhou Heng didn’t exist, any of the three young men would undoubtedly have the qualifications to move Cangao Muyue’s heart. Unfortunately, there is now an extra Zhou Heng!

Although his strength hasn’t reached its peak yet, his edge is already evident. Under his infinite brilliance, which of the outstanding heroes can be mentioned in the same breath as him?

Previously, Cangao Muyue indeed had misunderstandings with Zhou Heng, but precisely because they were misunderstandings, once they were cleared up, wasn’t everything fine? Even more so, because of those misunderstandings, she had resented Zhou Heng, felt guilty, which at least etched Zhou Heng’s image in the heart of the young miss.

That was also an advantage!

Earlier, Zhou Heng repelled Cheng Shangchen with a burst of his aura, and now he faced the combined attack of three young Heavenly Venerates—how can this not win people’s admiration?

The ideal mate for young ladies, isn’t it such a hero?

Watching his daughter’s coy shyness mixed with radiant joy, the Blazing Flame Demon Venerate sighed gently and said, "It’s hard to keep a grown-up daughter at home, huh!"

"Father—" Cangao Muyue dragged out her voice as she spoke.

"I know! I know! If that lad is in danger, I will surely intervene!" The Blazing Flame Demon Venerate said somewhat jealously. Although the Heavenly Demon Dynasty has many princesses, they are all from the side branches, and he only has this one daughter! (To be continued.
