Chapter 480: Chapter 464 Battle Against the Master of the Four Great Death Places (3/3)

The Star Core was finally about to take shape!

Everyone’s eyes lit up with excitement, for this was the key to achieving immortality. Which of them could help but tense up and breathe more heavily?

Crack, crack-crack, crack-crack-crack!

As the Star Core’s emitted white light grew increasingly intense, the surrounding rocky walls began to show cracks, spreading like a spider web, instantly covering the entire space.

With the formation of the Star Core, the Xuanqian Continent was doomed to disintegrate and be utterly destroyed!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, countless streams of Spiritual Energy surged from all directions, frantically squeezing into the Star Core!

Everyone was shocked. If such an amount of Spiritual Energy were to rush into their bodies at the same time, it would burst them instantly, not sparing even Zhou Heng!

The moment the Star Core formed, it would thoroughly absorb all the Spiritual Energy and life force of Xuanqian Star. And with the Star Core containing an entire planet’s Spiritual Energy and life force, what terrifying energy would it possess?

No wonder it could allow a being at the Divinity Transformation Realm to ascend to heaven in one step. Such a cost was tremendous!

However, this was also inevitable. The destruction of a planet was like the aging and death of a person—it was preordained.

Hum, hum, hum, hum, the Masters of the Four Great Death Places glowed simultaneously, their presence spiking dramatically in an instant. They did not merely break through the Divinity Transformation Realm but also ascended rapidly even further!

Divinity Transformation Second Layer Heaven, Divinity Transformation Third Layer Heaven, the pinnacle of Divinity Transformation Realm!

One Tribulation Quasi-Immortal! Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal!

And still they rose!

Three Tribulations Quasi-Immortal, right?

Zhou Heng said to himself internally, a look of understanding on his face. These four old monsters were determined to seize the Star Core. That’s why they had not dared to break through to Three Tribulations Quasi-Immortal before, as they lacked the vast amounts of Spiritual Energy needed to nourish their Divinities.

But now it was different. The Star Core was right before their eyes, and once they captured it, they could immediately absorb its energy, thus allowing their Divinities to grow and break directly into immortality!

This was a do-or-die battle!

They were all prepared to die—if they really broke through to Three Tribulations Quasi-Immortal.

Boom!

A thunderous sound echoed. No matter that they were all of Heavenly Venerate Rank, in that instant, they collectively lost their hearing, were thrown into disarray, and stumbled to the ground, while the rocky walls around them finally reached the breaking point of collapse.

Crack, crack, crack, the space shattered instantly!

This was the core of the Earth! If even this place could fracture, what about the entire Xuanqian Star?

Though everyone was of Heavenly Venerate Rank and had powerful Divine Intents that swept across vast distances, they could not cover the expanse of an entire planet. Yet they could still see from tens of thousands of miles away. The space continued to expand and scatter, and fragments of land could be seen flying into the depths of the universe from every direction, similar to the ancient Fairy Continent.

From this moment on, Xuanqian Star ceased to exist!

Countless creatures screamed on the shattering land, including humans, Alien Races, Demon Beasts, and fierce beasts. Though individually weak, their cries combined into a lament that could travel billions of miles!

Hum!

All the light was absorbed into the Star Core, transforming it into what seemed like an ordinary jade stone that radiated a faint, clear light.

The Star Core, completely formed!

Swipe, four enormous hands reached out, grasping for the tiny Star Core.

The Masters of the Four Great Death Places made their move simultaneously!

To them, nothing in the world was worth their attention save for becoming immortal. What did it matter that billions of lives were dying? It wasn’t by their hand! And even if it was, what of it? They were nothing but ants!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The four old monsters attacked each other. They had once stood united against the Great Eternal Emperor, but now the time had come for them to battle amongst themselves for the chance to seize the Immortal Fate!

This treasure was not something to be yielded to anyone else!

They could maintain this state only for a limited time, so after only two or three probing moves, they brought out their real power without hesitation.

Ferocious Skull Heads, black crows, burning Fire Tigers, and purple leopards with dazzling lightning. The four Domain Paths fully unfolded, clashing with each other. Each one aimed to be the first to grab the Star Core, while simultaneously blocking the others.

The might of Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal, terrifying indeed!

The Moon Shadow Saintess and the Blazing Flame Demon Venerate both showed looks of shock. Although they knew of these four old monsters’ strength, they, as Divinity Transformation Heavenly Venerates, considered themselves standing at the pinnacle of the Mortal Realm. They thought the gap should be limited!

But the truth proved them to be terribly wrong!

Even if these four old monsters could only maintain this state for a minute, they could likely kill all the remaining people cleanly!

It seemed there was no hope for the Star Core now!

Luckily, they still had the Star Gate. Protected by the Restriction, it would not break apart, so they would not die in the vast cosmos.

It was then that Zhou Heng let out a long howl and punched forward to join the fray.

Madness, sheer madness!

Rushing in at this time, wasn’t it courting death?

The Moon Shadow Saintess and the Blazing Flame Demon Venerate were so astonished that their mouths hung open. Zhou Heng had clearly seen the horror of the four old monsters, so why rush towards death? They knew that Zhou Heng had grown stronger than them, but could he even compare to those four?

Zhou Heng, aglow with golden Divine Radiance, rushed into the battle group like an arrow, swinging his fists with a terrifying momentum that soared to the heavens!

This was his battle spirit, and even more so, his conviction!

I am the God!

"Courting death!" Poisonous Vast Heavenly Venerate was the first to coldly snort. He had an enmity for the murder of his child with Zhou Heng and originally wanted to slap him to death after seizing the Immortal Fate, but since this brat was delivering himself to death, he would oblige!

He had already been so infuriated by Zhou Heng that he almost vomited blood, and now his intent to kill was overflowing like a sea.

Whoosh, he smacked down with his palm, transforming it into dozens of Skull Heads that devoured towards Zhou Heng.

"Break!" Zhou Heng huffed lightly, and with a punch, his golden fist brought forth a blinding Divine Radiance, bang bang bang, and all those dozens of Skull Heads were shattered to pieces in an instant.

"What!"

"Good lad!"

"Hmm?"

This strike caused the other three old monsters to be stunned in unison!

They knew each other inside out, having joined forces and battled against each other before, and Poisonous Vast Heavenly Venerate’s strike had not held back at all! Yet Zhou Heng blocked it with just one punch!

This... this... this... How could this youngster, who had only just broken into the Divinity Transformation Realm, be comparable to a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal? Was there anything more exaggerated than this?

They were all shocked to this extent, while Moon Shadow Saintess, Blazing Flame Demon Venerate, Cheng Shangchen, and Yang Zitong had their tongues hanging out in disbelief!

What a monster!

Is this even human?

Zhou Heng remained unmoved, charging alone towards the Star Core.

"Audacious!" The four old monsters shouted simultaneously, striking towards Zhou Heng together.

The four different Domains fully unfurled, attacking with thought, with countless assaults raining madly upon Zhou Heng!

This was the Domain of a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal!

What does a Quasi-Immortal cultivate? It was no longer Spiritual Power, but Divine Radiance! Divine Radiance was will, it was Domain!

Boundlessly terrifying!

"Hmph!" Zhou Heng’s eyes flashed with rage, as golden light overflowed, his fists danced swiftly, stirring the Universe.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the cold and expansive cosmic void, Zhou Heng stood alone against the masters of the Four Great Death Places, not at a disadvantage at all!

Moon Shadow Saintess and Blazing Flame Demon Venerate were both so shocked they were numb. Zhou Heng was so powerful, it was simply defying the heavens!

"Back then, the Great Eternal Emperor, although he suppressed the blue sky with just one hand, making the experts of his generation live in his shadow, still there were experts like the Masters of the Death Places who could barely contend!"

"But Zhou Heng, he... He’s just entered the Divinity Transformation Realm!"

"Advancing to the Second and Third Layer Heavens of Divinity Transformation merely enhanced the level of Spiritual Power, which did not provide an essential boost to Battle Power. However, a Quasi-Immortal is completely different, for they are beings who have survived the tribulations of heaven and earth twice!"

"Zhou Heng is now on par with a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal. How terrifying would he be when he reaches that realm?"

"...He’s now up against four, not just comparable to a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal, but surpassing that level!"

"What kind of monster is this guy!"

On the other hand, Gong Hong’en and Yang Zitong, two competing rivals, were also communicating with their Divine Senses. Under such shock, they had to say something, or they would go insane!

"Damned junior!" The four old monsters were forced to join hands in attack.

Although they had been besieging Zhou Heng before, they had not coordinated with one another, with no cooperation to speak of. Such a level of Battle Power, although it wouldn’t be defeated by Zhou Heng, had no hope of victory either.

But could Zhou Heng afford to drag it out, and could they?

A quick battle must be fought!

The four old monsters finally put aside their pride and joined hands. Instantly, their offensive strength skyrocketed by ten times!

This was not a matter of one plus one equals two, but an exponential increase!

Suddenly, their four Domains surged like a flood, forcing Moon Shadow Saintess and Blazing Flame Demon Venerate, along with Huo Tian, to retreat hastily. Gong Hong’en and Yang Zitong were no exception. Their fathers wouldn’t harm them, but the other three old monsters were another story.

"So it turns out that the Great Eternal Emperor of the old days was so powerful!" After retreating tens of thousands of miles, Moon Shadow Saintess said with lingering fear.

Back in the day, the Great Eternal Emperor faced the union of these four old monsters, but not only did he not lose, he even completely subdued them into becoming Masters of Death Places! The stronger the combined might of these four old monsters, the clearer it becomes just how powerful the Great Eternal Emperor was back then.

Zhou Heng... in the end, was still not comparable to the Great Eternal Emperor of yore!

No way around it, he had only just entered Divinity Transformation Realm, and his Deities had yet to face tribulation!

"Break! Break! Break! Break!" Just then, Zhou Heng’s loud and clear shout rang out like the first roar of thunder after winter, transmitting through heaven and earth! Amidst the flashing of golden light, he forcefully counterattacked, finally releasing his own Domain Path.

A golden world unfolded, golden figures rising from above his head, bearing an exact resemblance to Zhou Heng, exuding the utmost supreme aura.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This golden world rapidly expanded, forcibly pushing away the surrounding four Domains and claiming half the territory, like an Emperor, receiving the worship of four different small worlds!

In the clash of Domains, that is, of Deities, Zhou Heng was equally undiminished!

Facing four adversaries, he did so with ease!
