Chapter 463: Chapter 447 Treasure Comes by Itself (1/3)

Zhou Heng did not consider himself to be a man of otherworldly luck, but this time it seemed as if the heavens had opened their eyes, for the first Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact was actually flying straight toward him, as if a beauty was throwing herself into his arms.

With his current Realm and Battle Power, a Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact was actually of no use to him, and he was not at all greedy, but since the Magic Artifact had come to his door, why would he not take it?

He who does not take what heaven offers will suffer retribution in return.

Zhou Heng stretched out his hand, and the silver light shot straight into his palm.

It was a bright silver dagger, just over a foot long, gleaming with a soft luster as it lay quietly in Zhou Heng’s hand.

Zhou Heng gently stroked the dagger, his mind wandering with idle thoughts.

He had two Immortal Artifacts on hand, one was the Hundred Ghosts Sword, the other the Black Sword. The Black Sword could be set aside, being incomplete, but the Hundred Ghosts Sword was perfectly Flawless.

Yet, in his hands, the Hundred Ghosts Sword could not exert its Immortal Level power, but rather, matched the power level of the user.

If the wielder’s strength was not strong, it might even be inferior to a Mountains and Rivers Realm or Nascent Soul Realm Magic Artifact!

This was an essential difference. An Immortal Artifact’s absolute power was not very strong, but it had terrifying growth potential, enough to make the user invincible among their peers.

"Young man, hand over the Treasure in your hands!" Just then, a figure had already flown toward him, a Nascent Soul Realm aura tumbling around him. This was not a human, but a Night Demon race Expert, tall and burly.

This person happened to be nearby and saw the dagger cutting through the sky. Naturally, he immediately gave chase.

A Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact, if he could obtain it, would boost his Battle Power by a whole level!

Men die for wealth as birds die for food, a Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact was already enough for him to risk everything—of course, had he known who Zhou Heng and Moon Shadow Saintess were, he probably would never have made a move.

That would be courting death!

This person was named Zhenxiong Qianjun, a very powerful Nascent Soul Realm Old Ancestor from the Night Demon Dynasty, known for his arrogance, but indeed he had the qualifications to be proud. He had reached the Peak of the Nascent Soul Third Layer Heaven three hundred years ago, only a step away from the Divine Infant Realm.

In the era when Divinity Transformation Realm Experts did not make a move, he could almost do as he pleased!

Years of arrogance had inevitably made him look down on others, so he came across with a condescending attitude.

Zhou Heng looked up at him and said, "Why should I?"

"Foolish!" Zhenxiong Qianjun reached out his large hand, grabbing toward Zhou Heng.

"Hmph, this Treasure belongs to me!" Right at this moment, a second person had already charged over, also reaching out a large hand, entangling with Zhenxiong Qianjun’s hand.

The logic was simple: Zhou Heng’s aura was unnoticeable, both sides considered him insignificant, so they paid him no mind.

Bang! Bang!

Both went all out as soon as they made their move, a Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact was enough to make them fight with all their might. Once they got it, their Battle Power would soar.

They knew they had to fight quickly. Otherwise, once a third person, a fourth person, or even more Experts arrived, seizing the Treasure would become much more complicated.

Zhou Heng became a spectator instead, shaking his head. This Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact was like a chicken rib to him—tasteless, but he had no intention of giving it back now that it was in his hands.

Let these people fight. When more show up, he’ll clear the field at the end.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, several more people flew in and immediately attacked Zhou Heng, but their efforts were thwarted by others—Zhou Heng appeared the weakest, making it simplest to snatch the Magic Artifact from him, so there was no rush.

But once in someone else’s hands, if a Half-Step Immortal made a move, they could flee, how could they catch up?

Zhou Heng thus became the target of everyone’s arrows while also being protected by the crowd; people saw opportunities to attack him, yet more would immediately intervene, creating utter chaos.

In just a moment, Divine Infant Realm Experts arrived, not just one, but several, leading to a new melee.

Not everyone failed to recognize Zhou Heng or Moon Shadow Saintess; those who realized their identity decisively turned tail and left—joking aside, Zhou Heng’s power grew daily and was difficult to assess, but Moon Shadow Saintess was a bona fide Heavenly Venerate!

With a Heavenly Venerate present, who else had the right to compete?

Those in the know came in droves and left in droves, but the uninformed were still arriving, until a group of powerful Divine Infant Realm Experts appeared, five strong, joining forces to repel everyone else, finally putting an end to the brawl.

"Boy, you’ve watched enough. Hand over the Treasure!" said the five.

They hailed from Ancient Times, from a minor sect, but thanks to a fortunate encounter, they had obtained an ancient legacy and whooshed up to the Divine Infant Realm. By the time they emerged from seclusion to enjoy the world, the Great Eternal Emperor had already clashed with the landlords of the Four Great Death Places.

The subsequent events were equally simple: the five unlucky brothers had not yet enjoyed a day of power or prestige before they were forced to seize the Temporal Origin Liquid, remaining sealed until now.

Their strength was formidable, but no one knew their origins, and the five of them didn’t recognize anyone, whether from Ancient Times or the present-day Experts.

Zhou Heng gave a faint smile and said, "Alright, come and get it." He displayed the dagger in his hand.

The five were very satisfied, thinking that Zhou Heng knew his place, recognizing that they were too strong to be opposed, so instead of attempting to flee, he readily offered up the Treasure.

This made them feel a bit embarrassed—snatching the treasure of a junior like that damaged their glorious image!

"Considering how clever you are, Fourth Brother, reward him with some Spirit Stones!" the eldest among the five said with a satisfied smile as he stroked his beard.

"Eldest Brother, do we even have any Spirit Stones left?" Fourth Brother replied honestly, "We’ve already used them all up!"

"Huh?" The eldest brother couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, but whether to reward Spirit Stones was not the main issue; what they absolutely had to obtain was the Divine Infant Realm Magic Artifact in Zhou Heng’s hands. Thus, despite feeling embarrassed, one hand still reached out towards Zhou Heng, aiming for the silver dagger.

He grabbed the blade of the dagger, not fearing Zhou Heng could harm anyone with his strength; even the sharpest sword required power to wield.

"Hm?" He tried to pull back his hand, but the dagger seemed to have rooted itself in Zhou Heng’s grasp, unmoving. "Let go!" the leader said somewhat angrily. The boy had been quite respectful towards them at first, so why had he suddenly become stingy?

It should be Zhou Heng’s honor to offer the treasure to them—how could he be so reluctant?

The leader was furious, and the consequences were grave!

A flash of fierceness crossed his eyes, and a surge of Dark Force spiraled out along the dagger towards Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng’s gaze turned icy as he twisted his wrist slightly.

"Ahhh—" The leader instantly screamed as blood gushed out, dripping down profusely.

Indeed, he was at the Divine Infant Realm, but his physique, without the protection of Spiritual Power, could at most withstand weapons of the Spirit Sea Realm level; how could it possibly withstand Zhou Heng’s strength plus the sharpness of a Divine Infant Realm artifact?

"Eldest Brother—" The other four cried out in alarm, rushing forward a few steps, glaring at Zhou Heng angrily.

They assumed that their leader had been caught off guard, considering that puncturing the flesh of an unguarded Divine Infant Realm expert with a weapon of the same realm isn’t difficult, provided one has the Cultivation Level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

"Kill him!" They lashed out at Zhou Heng without hesitation.

In their minds, Zhou Heng would undoubtedly be reduced to a puddle of blood under this strike! Although it seemed like overkill for four of them to strike together, who was Zhou Heng to defy them?

Having been forced to seal themselves away in Ancient Times without having the chance to show off their might, each was understandably harboring pent-up frustration. Now, as nature’s spiritual energy slowly recovered, it was time for the five brothers to show off their skills!

This was killing the chicken to scare the monkey, to deter others from defying them in the future.

Zhou Heng flipped his right hand, and a powerful force burst forth, striking all five brothers at once.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All five brothers were sent flying simultaneously, spewing blood from their mouths and collapsing in a heap.

Witnessing this scene, everyone around them showed intense shock.

After all, they had just been suppressed by these five brothers and knew well how formidable their combined Battle Power was, yet Zhou Heng had managed to make them spit blood with a single blow—what kind of terrifyingly powerful person was he!

Yet, judging by the flow of Spiritual Power emanating from Zhou Heng, he was clearly only at the Divine Infant Realm himself.

So powerful! So impressive!

"You despicable brat!" the five roared together, realizing by now that Zhou Heng had only been toying with them earlier, with no intention of actually handing over the treasure.

They had to admit the boy was indeed strong, but no matter how strong, he was still just at the Divine Infant Realm; the five of them together were definitely capable of victory!

For they had inherited an ancient secret technique that allowed them to fight together and augment their Battle Power by tenfold! However, this technique consumed a great deal of Essence Blood and would not be used unless absolutely necessary.

"To death!" Decisively, they deployed their secret technique, each moving according to an unfathomably intricate Stepping Technique, casting one shadow after another, until forty-five shadows appeared, each with the same power as their real bodies!

Fifty Divine Infant Realm experts—how mighty was that?

This was the proud foundation of their confidence!

As the five moved, the nine shadows of each one also followed, creating a fearsome Battle Power that could indeed suppress ninety-nine percent of the Divine Infant Realm Heavenly Monarchs!

"Ganging up on the few, don’t you feel ashamed?" Zhou Heng laughed.

"Hahaha, power is everything in this world, everything else is meaningless; if you’re capable, call more people to help you too!"

"We five brothers face one as a group, and the same goes for facing a thousand!"

"If you’re not satisfied, you’re welcome to ask for assistance!"

"We five brothers will accompany to the end!"

"Hahahaha!"

The five of them laughed in unison, faces full of disdain.

"I can’t call a thousand people at a moment’s notice, but a hundred I can manage with some effort. Since you’re so sincere, how can I refuse?" Zhou Heng murmured to himself, summoning the Hundred Ghosts Sword. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com).
