Chapter 459 - 443: Single-handedly Fighting Three Heavenly Venerates (3/3)

Chapter 459: Chapter 443: Single-handedly Fighting Three Heavenly Venerates (3/3)

The three young Heavenly Venerates took up three positions, forming an equilateral triangle, with Zhou Heng in the very center. They each released their own aura, intertwining and clashing wave after wave, escalating!

Battle spirit boiled over, murderous aura was abundant.

This was a magnificent scene that had not appeared in tens of thousands of years!

It had been several tens of thousands of years since the last Divinity Transformation Realm was seen, and although several Heavenly Venerates had emerged recently, three Heavenly Venerates teaming up against one was absolutely unprecedented!

No one was optimistic about Zhou Heng.

Although his potential was limitless, it could not cover up that he was a Physique Heavenly Venerate with weaknesses. As of now, he was still the weakest Heavenly Venerate in history, yet he was facing off against three of the same rank, with even stronger powers... There was no chance of victory!

Of course, if a Heavenly Venerate wished to leave, no one could stop him. At worst, he would endure a few attacks, and it wouldn’t kill him.

Therefore, Blazing Flame Demon Venerate was fairly assured; his strength was unmatched present there. Although not enough to simultaneously suppress Cheng Shangchen and the three, if he joined forces with Zhou Heng, they could surely contend.

He wanted Zhou Heng to owe him a huge favor. With that, would this kid dare to treat his daughter poorly in the future?

"What are you all waiting for!" Zhou Heng laughed heartily, and though he faced three opponents, he was utterly fearless.

He truly was fearless. The physical strength of a Divinity Transformation Realm artifact-level body naturally placed him on an invincible footing. It wasn’t just facing three opponents but three thousand—that held no terror for him.

"You dare not make a move, then I will come!" Zhou Heng leapt forward, charging at Cheng Shangchen, his left hand a palm and his right a fist. The Overturning Heaven Palm unfolded as his golden fist shone with the brilliance of heaven and earth.

"Audacious!" The three young Heavenly Venerates shouted angrily in unison. The weakest Heavenly Venerate in history dared to attack first under a three-on-one situation—such arrogance!

"Die!"

The three young Heavenly Venerates each made their moves, some with fists, some with palms, some with claws. Various colored Divine Lights shone across the sky, their power immense.

It was now a chaotic battle of four Great Heavenly Venerates; even Blazing Flame Demon Venerate dared not to be careless, retreating to a distance with his beloved daughter. He himself feared nothing, but could his daughter withstand such a level of power? A single ripple was enough for her to perish like fragrance before jade.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four Heavenly Venerates clashed in battle. Though Zhou Heng was the weakest in strength, his constitution was too overwhelming. Attacks that would have seriously injured Cheng Shangchen and the others seemed like nothing to him.

However, attacks from Zhou Heng were something Cheng Shangchen and his peers absolutely could not afford to overlook; they had to block, they had to dodge!

The scene was quite absurd, like a clumsy adult fighting with three agile children. Even though the children were swift enough to hit the adult repeatedly, none of their attacks were effective. In contrast, when the adult threw a punch, the children had no choice but to scatter like birds and beasts, forced to avoid it!

Seeing this, Blazing Flame Demon Venerate wanted to laugh, but he couldn’t bring himself to do so.

Such defense was simply too strong!

It couldn’t just be described as strong; it was downright monstrous!

He considered that even if he joined the fray himself, it would be pointless and wouldn’t cause any substantive change!

Was the lineage of the Great Eternal Emperor all such monsters?

"Use your unique techniques and refine him!" Zuoqiu Wenguan shouted loudly. His voice, majestic as Heavenly Venerate, reverberated like thunder, causing everyone within a thousand miles to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hmm!"

The other two young Heavenly Venerates nodded in agreement. Zhou Heng’s defenses were simply too strong; ordinary attacks could not scratch him. They had to use secret techniques!

"Death Fog!"

"Toxic Milky Way!"

"Heaven-blazing Flame!"

Each of them formed Dharma Seals, their Deities shining brightly as they boosted their battle power to the pinnacle; this was by no means their strongest combat capability. Just like Zhou Heng’s Sky-soaring Nine Forms, they would only use it at the moment of delivering a fatal strike! They certainly had some life-saving ultimate moves, but at this moment, none of them would reveal it.

A black fog spread, a toxic river flowed, a flame blazed toward the sky, coming at Zhou Heng from three different directions.

In truth, if these three secret techniques could be merged, their power would undoubtedly be stronger! But although the Four Great Death Places were equal, they were also each other’s competitors. Collaborating on techniques required understanding of each other’s Cultivation Techniques, who would divulge their trump cards to their rivals?

Even so, the combined might of the three secret techniques as they rushed forth was infinite.

This was the power of their Bloodline, inherited from their fathers, the martial wisdom of Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortals!

Zhou Heng laughed heartily, rising to meet them.

Boom!

As the three secret techniques came at him, he simply bathed in them with his flesh, his Divinity Transformation artifact-level body radiating brilliant Divine Light, truly indestructible and everlasting!

"How is this possible!" Gong Hong’en and the others were on the verge of collapse. Although they still had ultimate moves left, in terms of offensive power, this was indeed their strongest killing move, because it was the Bloodline Power of the Four Great Death Places’ masters!

Yet such attacks were completely ineffective against Zhou Heng!

They were too weak; if it had been their fathers taking action, perhaps Zhou Heng could have been trapped and slowly worn down.

Slowly worn down?

The thought that had surged in their minds left them greatly horrified. Since when did Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortals, the strongest beings of the Mortal Realm, need such effort to defeat a Physique-level Heavenly Venerate?

What to do?

Doubts flickered through their hearts.

Let alone that Zhou Heng was a descendant of the Great Eternal Emperor, even without this relationship, they all wished to eradicate Zhou Heng as soon as possible, to prevent future troubles due to his terrifying potential.

But the problem was, they couldn’t do it!

Do they have to involve their fathers?

But their fathers, in order to be sealed by the Temporal Origin Liquid, had to self-demote their Cultivation Level. Although they could recover to the Heavenly Venerate Realm and regain the battle power of a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal, they only had three chances!

Once those were used up, they would be forever confined to the Divine Infant Realm.

Such an opportunity for "transformation" must be reserved for the competition over Immortal Fate. As long as they could break through to the Immortal Realm during the period of their restored strength, their Cultivation Level would no longer plummet.

The stakes were enormous and must not be missed!

To have the masters of the Four Great Death Places come out to hunt down Zhou Heng, who would do it?

Four acting together would be a waste, yet to say only one should move, who would willingly sacrifice such a chance for transformation and be one less transformation opportunity short!

Zhou Heng let out a long howl, and with the Black Sword summoned, he was ready to fight in earnest!

The Hundred Ghosts Sword wasn’t weak—it was just that his Spiritual Power was insufficient. The ghost creatures formed from the gathered Spiritual Power were also only at the Divine Infant Realm. Though enough to suppress other Martial Artists of the Divine Infant Realm, they fell far too short against a Heavenly Venerate.

Even hundreds of them wouldn’t be enough to bridge the gap!

Therefore, the Black Sword was still the best choice!

Feiyu Seven Swords, Leaf Falling Destiny Extinct!

With a swing of the Broken Sword, a desolate atmosphere instantly pervaded the field.

"Trivial skill!" Cheng Shangchen and his two companions shouted in unison. Although they were no match for Zhou Heng, they didn’t need to fear him. After all, this strong figure of the future had not yet grown up!

Setting aside defense, when it comes to battle power alone, Zhou Heng was indeed the weakest Heavenly Venerate in history.

They each unfolded their defenses, as they all intended to cease battle since fighting on was meaningless.

"You think you can fight if you want to fight, and leave if you want to leave?" Zhou Heng let out a cold snort, pushing with his left hand, the Overturning Heaven Palm bearing down.

Two major Immortal Techniques operated at the same time!

In the Mortal Realm, who could afford to operate two Immortal Techniques at the same time?

Zhou Heng could, and it wasn’t just two kinds, but three!

The Swift Cloud Radiant Step unfolded, and his strongly forward momentum and the motion of the Black Sword unleashed a black sword shadow that was indestructible, capable of slicing through anything.

Forget Cheng Shangchen and his two companions, even if their fathers were here, they wouldn’t dare to face Zhou Heng’s attack—they might be Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortals with strong battle power, but their physical defenses hadn’t improved much because of it.

Suddenly introducing three Immortal Techniques, Zhou Heng greatly enhanced his battle power in an instant, catching Cheng Shangchen and the others completely off guard!

But this still wasn’t enough!

Immortal Techniques required Spiritual Power to be activated, and what Zhou Heng possessed was only the Brutal Strength of the Divinity Transformation Realm while his Spiritual Power remained in the third layer of the Divine Infant Realm. Although his battle power greatly increased under the influence of the Immortal Techniques, it was still insufficient to kill Cheng Shangchen and his companions.

With his forceful advance, Cheng Shangchen and the others could only retreat further and further, not daring to contest his edge.

On the side, Cangao Muyue couldn’t help showing a dazzled and mesmerizing look. Isn’t such an overwhelmingly powerful hero what a girl would seek in an ideal husband?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zhou Heng launched the Overturning Heaven Palm consecutively, forcing Cheng Shangchen and the others to continually retreat and even fall clumsily from the sky, being suppressed into the earth.

From the look of the scene, Zhou Heng had the upper hand!

The Blazing Flame Demon Venerable couldn’t help but heave a sigh. He had wanted to do Zhou Heng a favor, but as things stood, Zhou Heng didn’t need his help at all!

Such a demon!

Even as just a Physique Heavenly Venerate, he was so powerful—once his Spiritual Power also leaped into the Divinity Transformation Realm, who in the world could be his enemy? What could the masters of the Four Great Death Places do against him?

Zhou Heng stood invincible in defense, and once his Spiritual Power stepped into the Heavenly Venerate Rank, his battle power was bound to catch up, making him invincible in both offense and defense!

Without a single flaw!

Even the Great Eternal Emperor of old could only follow in his wake, the true Emperor of Martial Path through the ages!

"Damn it!"

"Bastard!"

"Despicable scoundrel!"

Cheng Shangchen and the other two continuously cursed, their only option against Zhou Heng’s formidable power being to parry and dodge. How lamentable was this situation?

If they could be as powerful as the Moon Shadow Saintess and command the Overturning Heaven Palm, then it would be fine. Even if they couldn’t hurt Zhou Heng, they could blast and pin him down with each palm. But the key was, they had achieved their status by riding on the coattails of their father’s Bloodline Power, not being particularly powerful Heavenly Venerates.

This determined that their battle power wasn’t very strong—compared to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

A flash of cold light appeared in Zhou Heng’s eyes, and a surge of killing intent overflowed. He suddenly pushed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step to its limit and appeared in an instant in front of Zuoqiu Wenguan. The Black Sword was raised high, absorbing all light as if suddenly arriving at the dark, cold center of the universe!

Sky-soaring Nine Forms!

The first form, the second form, the third form... up to the eighth form stacked together!

The black Broken Sword released a deep and eerie luminescence, making the already dark cosmos even colder.

Zhou Heng, using up all his Spiritual Power, made his strike!
