Chapter 474: Ambush and Kill

Zhou Heng was startled for a moment before he realized the other party was talking about Blazing Flame Demon Venerate and Moon Shadow Saintess.

He couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, "To eliminate you two, there’s no need for such trouble, I alone am enough!"

"Nonsense!" Both the Yuan Family Old Ancestor shouted simultaneously.

Even with the two of them joining forces, they wouldn’t dare claim they could obliterate a Heavenly Venerate; everyone was a supreme being of the same realm. Defeating someone was simple, but killing was as hard as ascending to the heavens! Zhou Heng was not their match, yet he actually claimed he wanted to slaughter them—wasn’t that a joke?

But this joke wasn’t funny at all; it only made them uncontrollably furious!

"The scenery here is nice, fitting to be your burial ground!" Zhou Heng smiled faintly, his killing intent gradually surfacing.

Here, for thousands of miles around, desolate and silent, no one would know how terrifying his battle power really was!

"Boy, what’s the point of you infuriating us?" Heavenly Venerate Minghe snorted coldly, "At our level, would we still be disturbed by mere words?"

"Whether you’re disturbed or not, it’s none of my business!" Zhou Heng laughed heartily, wielding the Black Sword.

"Disrespectful junior!" Heavenly Venerate Minghe and the Yuan Family Old Ancestor shouted in anger, both throwing punches and palms at Zhou Heng.

If it wasn’t so difficult to obliterate a Heavenly Venerate of the same realm, they would wish to tear Zhou Heng into a million pieces!

Snap! Snap!

Two crisp sounds, and the faces of Heavenly Venerate Minghe and Yuan Family Old Ancestor were solidly slapped.

Crisp, resounding!

What, what!

Both great Heavenly Venerates covered their pained faces with a hand, their eyes revealing unparalleled fright.

Being such powerful beings, how could they simply be slapped without reacting! What if Zhou Heng had not slapped but aimed a sword at their throats instead?

Indeed, Divine Radiance Realm magic artifacts were even rarer than Heavenly Venerates, but materials of the Divinity Transformation Realm level were not scarce, forged into weapons that were tough and sharp, capable of slaying Heavenly Venerates, though they couldn’t trigger functions automatically.

Furthermore, ordinary Heavenly Venerates only possessed the physique of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Thinking this, the two could not help but rise a strong sense of fear, their backs instantly soaked with sweat.

"You—" Both turned to look at Zhou Heng simultaneously, their eyes filled with incomprehension.

If he was so powerful, why bother toying with them for so long? He could’ve just chased them away in three moves, that would definitely be Quasi-Immortal level battle power!

Having already obtained an artifact like the Star Core, what more could he desire?

After breaking through to Becoming Immortal, the Immortal Realm was said to be filled with Immortal Herbs and treasures as easily pickable as bending over, not to mention its vastly higher level compared to the Mortal Realm! Upon obtaining the Star Core, the first thing to do was to break the void and become an Immortal—why would he linger further in the Mortal Realm?

Little did they know, Zhou Heng also harbored much grievances. Who made him too powerful, so powerful that the nature’s spiritual energy of the Mortal Realm simply wasn’t sufficient to support his advancement to the Quasi-Immortal Position; thus, he had to conserve the Star Core, only using it to nourish Deities when he ascended to Quasi-Immortal status!

"Why!" the Yuan Family Old Ancestor shouted loudly, would not rest until he understood the reason.

"Blame your greed!" Zhou Heng snorted and struck out with the Black Sword in his right hand.

Although he had used cunning, those who took the bait did so out of their own greed; they had only themselves to blame! Since the Star Core is no longer ownerless but now in his possession, others must pay the price for their greed!

"To kill us, you’ll have to pay a heavy price!" Both Yuan Family Old Ancestor roared.

"You think too highly of yourselves!" Zhou Heng attacked forcefully, reaching out with his left hand toward the Yuan Family Old Ancestor’s neck.

"Arrogant!" the Yuan Family Old Ancestor scoffed coldly. Zhou Heng was too dismissive of him—did he really think the gap between a Heavenly Venerate and a Quasi-Immortal was that great? With a palm thrust, a green divine radiance danced through the heaven and earth.

Zhou Heng’s left hand encountered no resistance whatsoever, snapping down and seizing the Yuan Family Old Ancestor’s neck!

Effortless, simple!

Just like the gap between an adult lion and a rabbit, especially when that rabbit was just a newborn!

This gap was simply beyond reason!

"How, how could it be like this!" the Yuan Family Old Ancestor said tremulously, finally realizing the gap between him and Zhou Heng at this moment. This youngster’s battle power wasn’t of the Divinity Transformation Two Layers Heaven, absolutely a Quasi-Immortal, and not just any Quasi-Immortal, but at least a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal!

It was done; he had messed with the wrong opponent!

"Why can’t it be like this!" Zhou Heng thrusted the Black Sword, spurting blood, the black Broken Sword now embedded in the Yuan Family Old Ancestor’s chest, its Sword Qi triggered instantly stripping away all life essence.

"Ugh—" Seeing this scene, Heavenly Venerate Minghe was so terrified his teeth rattled, and he turned and sprinted away.

All thoughts of humiliation and the Star Core, he couldn’t care less about them!

Escape, escape, escape!

That was all he could think of; as long as he could keep his life, everything else could be discussed later!

"You can’t run!" Zhou Heng turned and intercepted Heavenly Venerate Minghe; with his current level of spiritual power, he didn’t even need the Swift Cloud Radiant Step to overwhelmingly surpass most Heavenly Venerates in speed.

"Senior, I am willing to submit to you, don’t kill me!" Heavenly Venerate Minghe said, trembling.

No one is not afraid of death, not even the Heavenly Venerates! Moreover, Zhou Heng’s strength was so overwhelming that Heavenly Venerate Minghe wouldn’t feel too aggrieved even if he submitted to Zhou Heng.

"No need!" Zhou Heng thrust his sword without hesitation.

With a spurt of blood, another Heavenly Venerate died at the hands of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng sheathed the Black Sword and quickly leaped back.

After returning to the Yuan family mansion, he briefly explained the situation to everyone and then began refining the Life Essence Qi absorbed by the Black Sword.

However, the Old Ancestor of the Yuan family and Heavenly Venerate Minghe were nowhere near comparable to the masters of the Four Great Death Places. The gap between Three Tribulations Quasi-Immortal and Divinity Transformation Third Layer Heaven was like heaven and earth. The two Heavenly Venerates only managed to increase Zhou Heng’s accumulation of Spiritual Power to a little beyond the late period of Divinity Transformation Second Layer Heaven, still far from the peak.

The fall of the two mighty Heavenly Venerates would be a shockingly stunning piece of news for the entire continent, and the Star Core was indeed a treasure that high-tier Martial Artists drooled over. It was believed that within a few days, this place would become exceedingly busy!

Zhou Heng’s greatest intention was still to inform the friends and family from the Xuanqian Continent who had arrived earlier that he too had arrived here!

He believed many would come to see him.

"Zhou, hurry, let me see the Star Core!" Black Donkey had held itself for a few days but finally couldn’t resist anymore, stretching out its hoof to search Zhou Heng’s body.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop that, you perverted donkey!" Zhou Heng exclaimed.

"Give me the Star Core, and I promise to run far away!"

"You wish!"

"Don’t be so stingy, man; who are we to each other, huh!"

Zhou Heng thought for a moment, decided to gather everyone, and then took out the Star Core, which he had sealed with Spiritual Power to prevent the leakage of Spiritual Energy and its wasteful dissipation.

"Such a small thing is the essence of a whole planet?" Lin Fuxiang said, filled with awe and disbelief.

"Let me touch it!" An Yumei snatched the Star Core into her hands, looking at it as if it were a precious jewel.

"Let me touch it too!" The women reached out their hands one after another, snatching and grabbing the Star Core from each other.

Such a treasure was naturally something they had never seen before; they were all extremely curious.

"Let me take a look too!" Black Donkey jumped into the fray, and after the Star Core had made a round in the hands of the women, it took the opportunity to stretch out its hoof to catch it.

Smack!

Zhou Heng swatted its hoof away, glaring and said, "Cheeky donkey, would anything come back once you’ve seen it?"

"Zhou, you’re insulting my integrity!" Black Donkey complained indignantly.

"Do you even have integrity?" Zhou Heng scoffed.

"Woof! Just give me the Star Core!" Black Donkey lunged to bite him.

After a half day of frolicking, Zhou still secured the Star Core firmly. He wasn’t mean, but the Star Core was far too precious, and he had to come up with a meticulous plan for its use.

Three days later, Zhao Duotian arrived with the Zhao Family troops, and Zhou Heng reunited with his parents, which was quite moving; they had thought it would take many years before they could meet again.

A few days after that, the Sang Family came over, followed by Shangtian Martial Pavilion, and many people arrived in droves.

This was the Dragon River Continent, and for everyone from Xuanqian Star, everything here was extraordinarily unfamiliar; thus, meeting anyone from Xuanqian Star, even a stranger, was very exciting, especially since they were friends before.

Zhou Heng was someone who cherished old times; the return of old friends like Sang Qingshan, Zhu Zhihe, Liu Yan, and Wan Liang delighted him. He spent every day drinking and reminiscing with them, but all good things must come to an end, and soon his old friends, who had their own families, bid farewell to Zhou Heng and set out to establish themselves in this new world.

After all the friends had left, only the Zhao Family troops remained. Moon Shadow Saintess and Blazing Flame Demon Venerate also gathered with their forces, bidding farewell to Zhou Heng and departing.

However, Cangao Muyue stayed.

"Don’t worry; that saintess will definitely find an excuse to come back soon!" An Yumei said, biting Zhou Heng’s finger.

"Whether she comes back or not, what does it have to do with me?" Zhou Heng glared.

"Hahaha!" The women all giggled, Ying Mengfan said, "Stop pretending, we’re not blind, can’t we see whether that saintess is interested in you or not?"

"What?" Zhou Heng was genuinely surprised. Moon Shadow Saintess interested in him?

Impossible!

That woman was so proud; could she really fall for a man?

"Husband, are you feeling itchy?" Han Yiyao hooked her arms around Zhou Heng’s neck from behind, her soft body fully pressed against his, the contact delightfully pleasant.

Zhou Heng’s heart stirred, and he wrapped his arms around Han Yulian.

"You big jerk, wasn’t last night enough for you?" An Yumei rolled her eyes and spoke, a bit jealously.

"Sigh, who doesn’t know our husband is a big rascal!" Ying Mengfan also fell into Zhou Heng’s arms, her gaze seductive.

"Hmph, daring to gossip about your master; I’ll show you what a rascal is!" Zhou Heng’s big hand swept out, Spiritual Power surged, and he lifted all the women at once, striding towards the bedroom.

He was ready to go all out!
