Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 518 - 502

Chapter 518: 502

Zhou Heng’s figure flashed, and he landed on the continent, where the strong gravity nearly made him stumble.

The piece of the Immortal Realm that crashed into Xuanqian Star had gravity about thirty times that of Xuanqian Star, but here... it reached a hundred times!

Under such terrifying gravity, Zhou Heng believed that even a Half-Step Immortal would find it difficult to fly and could only leap and glide for a distance. And this wasn’t even a real planet, just a fragment of a broken continent.

In ancient times, when the Immortal Realm still had one Immortal Star after another, what level of gravity must have existed there?

I’m afraid only Immortals would have been qualified to fly, not even the Quasi-Immortals!

There was Spiritual Energy here, and it was quite abundant, surpassing that of the piece of the Fairy Continent that had once crashed into Xuanqian Star.

It was common knowledge that only celestial bodies could generate Spiritual Energy; a mere landmass like this one would only continuously lose Spiritual Energy. Considering the time passed since the great wars of the Immortal Realm, which was already a million years, the fact that the Spiritual Energy here was still so dense suggests how profoundly rich the Spiritual Energy of the actual Immortal Realm stars must be.

Zhou Heng summoned the Moon Shadow Saintess from the Nine Mystic Trial Tower.

At that time, he did not know what had gone wrong with him to actually take this woman into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, but now that he had arrived in the Immortal Realm, there was no way to send her back.

"This place... is this the Immortal Realm?" The Moon Shadow Saintess breathed in the rich Spiritual Energy surrounding her, with an indescribable pleasure on her face.

Her expression was absolutely enchanting!

Zhou Heng felt a stir in his heart and hurriedly shuddered, waking himself up.

Why had he only called out the Moon Shadow Saintess? Naturally, there was a reason: the gravity here was too terrifying. Moreover, this landmass could only be considered a meteorite floating in the universe, and there was no air here anymore.

Only a Heavenly Venerate could breathe for long periods without air. As for Immortals... they were completely separate from Mortals and only needed to absorb Spiritual Energy.

The Moon Shadow Saintess wanted to soar up and gaze at the continent, but as soon as her body sprang up, she was struck by the terrifying gravity, and she veered towards Zhou Heng and fell over.

He couldn’t just stand by and watch her die, could he?

Zhou Heng extended his hand and pulled the Moon Shadow Saintess into his arms.

She was as soft as jade and fragrant as a flower!

Zhou Heng’s heart swayed once again, and the Moon Shadow Saintess in his arms blushed, involuntarily pushing herself off his chest and out of his embrace.

"Cough! Cough!" Zhou Heng coughed a few times to dispel the awkwardness between them. He said, "Saintess, this indeed is the Immortal Realm, but this is just a shattered continent; we haven’t reached the Immortal City yet!"

The Spiritual Energy here was indeed dense but only relative to the Mortal Realm. It was sufficient for the current Realm of the Moon Shadow Saintess, but for Zhou Heng, it was far from enough!

Moreover, his path wasn’t one to ascend through meditative breathing; it was through constant battle and slaughter.

He couldn’t possibly settle down here in a hut. That would be too lacking in ambition.

"The Spiritual Energy is so dense here, and yet this is only a shattered continent?" The Moon Shadow Saintess showed a shocked expression. The Immortal Realm truly was the Immortal Realm, completely incomparable to the Mortal Realm!

"Let’s go. We need to get to a place first!" Zhou Heng unintentionally let his guard down, allowing Huo Tian to break free. She didn’t seem affected by the heavy gravity at all, floating lightly in the air, even more relaxed than Zhou Heng.

There was no justice! Was this still the Divine Infant Realm?

Instead, the Moon Shadow Saintess became a burden, unable to run fast. Since Zhou Heng had just asked her to come out, it wouldn’t be appropriate to stuff her back immediately, so he took her hand and hurried her along as they rushed.

The continent was vast, to the point of being ridiculously enormous. Fortunately, Zhou Heng was now able to fully activate the Swift Cloud Radiant Step without time constraints, with nine Waning Moons spinning together and Spiritual Power surging like an endless ocean.

However, the gravity certainly wasn’t there for nothing; it greatly limited Zhou Heng’s speed, entirely different from when he flew through the void.

Huo Tian’s movement technique was incredibly strange. She didn’t use any of her own strength but floated by catching the breeze Zhou Heng kicked up. Yet, she always managed to keep up with Zhou Heng, not falling behind in the slightest.

From the perspective of conserving energy, her movement technique crushed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step by hundreds of times!

Half a day later, Zhou Heng suddenly felt an alarm, stopped abruptly, and saw a black dragon-like thing speeding from the northwest, connecting heaven to earth, and incredibly terrifying!

It was a sandstorm!

However, compared to the sandstorms he had seen on Xuanqian Star and Dragon River Star, this one was countless times more ferocious!

"Quick, find a place to hide!" Huo Tian stepped forward, her phoenix eyes scanning the surroundings before turning to Zhou Heng and saying, "This is the Stardust Storm, and with your and her current Cultivation Levels, you’ll be instantly torn to shreds!"

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be astonished. He had just entered the Moonlight Realm and already possessed the Battle Power of a Moonlight Sovereign, yet he would still be shattered to pieces in such a storm!

The Immortal Realm was indeed deep!

Zhou Heng did not dare to be careless. Now was not the time to show off. He quickly changed direction and ran in the opposite direction of the Stardust Storm, while releasing his Divine Sense in search of a place to take refuge, albeit temporarily.

As soon as he extended his Divine Sense, he realized that in this place of immense gravity, his sensory range was hugely restricted, only able to extend to a hundred miles. However, although the range was smaller, the level of detail was greatly enhanced, as if he could see everything clearly, with every single detail vividly depicted.

This feeling was extremely wonderful!

But he only had to look back once to break into a cold sweat, as that Stardust Storm had approached dozens of miles in an instant!

Such an incredible speed!

Zhou Heng was on the verge of tears as he dashed away. In the Mortal Realm, every time he unleashed the Swift Cloud Radiant Step, though brief, his speed was virtually unmatched during that short duration. But as soon as he arrived in the Immortal Realm, he received a brutal welcome—a horrifying stardust storm!

He sprinted desperately, knowing that now was not the time for regrets.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The stardust storm raged closer, lifting chunks of rock into the sky wherever it passed. They then plummeted back down like projectiles fired from catapults, their power astonishing!

This was the Immortal Realm after all, where any attack had to be considered thousands of times more powerful!

Zhou Heng witnessed the terrifying might of the falling rocks smashing into the ground, a force powerful enough to pulverize his divine body!

Faced with the awe-inspiring might of this Immortal Realm’s natural phenomenon, his only option was to flee.

Unaccustomed as he might be, he had to adapt—this was no longer the Mortal Realm but a world on an entirely different level!

The stardust storm was drawing closer, now only ten miles away from Zhou Heng, and it would take only a few minutes to engulf him.

Zhou Heng held the Moon Shadow Saintess with his left hand, and Huo Tian with his right, pushing their speed to the extreme.

Behind them, the stardust storm was closing in.

Nine miles, eight miles, seven miles... three miles, two miles, one mile!

"Over there!" Zhou Heng’s eyes suddenly lit up as he saw a massive cave. He immediately changed direction, darting towards the entrance.

Two hundred yards! One hundred yards! Fifty yards!

Zhou Heng could already feel a faint pulling force from behind. With a loud yell, the nine Waning Moons within him burst forth at full strength. Whoosh—he accelerated once more, streaking like a meteor and rushing into the cave.

The violent stardust storm struck, and an irresistible force boomed towards him. Zhou Heng’s body suddenly felt heavy, and he crashed into the cave wall!

Boom!

Half of his body was embedded into the rock, the pain making Zhou Heng gnash his teeth in agony.

Outside, the fierce winds howled. The tremendous noise left Zhou Heng and the Moon Shadow Saintess with nothing but rumbling in their ears, unable to hear anything else.

Zhou Heng slowly extricated himself. Fortunately, his bones were unbroken.

He looked over at Huo Tian and the Moon Shadow Saintess; both women were fine thanks to his protection and had not been hurt. In truth, the one to worry about was the Moon Shadow Saintess, as Huo Tian would unleash terrifying power from within at the moment of true impact—and could even potentially devour the stardust storm altogether.

The scale of the storm was terrifyingly large. Despite its extreme speed, there was a constant howling gale outside the cave that never seemed to pass through.

Zhou Heng sat down, resigned to the fact that they couldn’t go outside for now.

Huo Tian, however, floated gracefully towards the depths of the cave, probably to keep her distance from Zhou Heng. After all, this impudent junior always had designs on her.

The Moon Shadow Saintess’s pretty face blushed slightly, yet she imitated Zhou Heng and sat down. Her posture was much more graceful, seemingly floating down like a cloud.

A beauty, in any situation, was always pleasing to the eye. Zhou Heng admired the stunning figure sitting less than three feet away, a surge of admiration welling up within him.

Though no second woman could compare to Huo Tian, in her absence, the Moon Shadow Saintess still shone with her unique charm. A beauty like her came along perhaps once every hundred or two hundred years on a planet!

And to find such a beauty who could cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Realm was perhaps a once-in-several-millennia event!

The Moon Shadow Saintess felt both shy and joyful. Although she initially disliked Zhou Heng, how could a woman’s mind be easily deciphered?

Beauties love heroes. As Zhou Heng rose to prominence, she had watched him with admiration. How could she not respect him?

Yet Zhou Heng had never shown any sign of interest in her, which frustrated her greatly!

Was she not beautiful enough? Must she debase herself and actively seek his favor?

After holding back several times, she had left Zhou Heng—it was a test. But Zhou Heng seemed indifferent, eventually making it clear to the Moon Shadow Saintess that if she wanted happiness, she had to strive for it herself!

Luckily, she had followed him to the Immortal Realm. Otherwise, who knew when she would see Zhou Heng again?

She couldn’t remain aloof any longer; otherwise, this rascal would never take initiative!

Struggling with her intense shyness, the Moon Shadow Saintess lifted her beautiful eyes and gave Zhou Heng a flirtatious glance, asking, "What do you think of me?"

Zhou Heng looked over the Moon Shadow Saintess from head to toe, and replied very matter-of-factly, "Slightly overweight!"

Overweight?

The Moon Shadow Saintess almost jumped up in outrage. How was she slender figure overweight? Just as she was about to scold him, she realized that Zhou Heng’s gaze was fixed on her ample bust. She suddenly felt weak all over, as if his gaze was palpably caressing her most prized asset.

If that part of her was considered overweight... she could accept it! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
