Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword

Chapter 520: Chapter 501 Nine Wheels Moon (1/3)

If Zhou Heng hadn’t just broken through, he definitely would have been able to suppress his power, and not be so quickly expelled from the Mortal Realm. But where could he possibly go now?

"Go!"

Zhou Heng only had time to bellow, as his Divine Sense unfolded instantly, throwing Ying Mengfan and the other ladies, along with Black Donkey, into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower. Then he grabbed Huo Tian in one swoop. By the time he had done all this, a dark rift had already opened, its gaping maw swallowing him whole in an instant.

Whoosh, Zhou Heng vanished into thin air from the Dragon River Continent.

What remained was just a legend.

"Let go of me!" Huo Tian roared with rage. Now inside the void, where sound could not travel, they could only communicate through Divine Sense.

"Stop fussing!" Zhou Heng said, as they were in the middle of the void. If he let go, who knew when this Peerless Heavenly Maiden might be able to find her way out?

This damn guy!

Huo Tian was not unaware of the situation, but did you need to hold her that tightly? And, where are your paws placed? You clearly could secure her with just a flick of your Divine Intent, but instead, you’re hugging her bottom; isn’t this obviously taking advantage of the situation?

Damn it, her Rune couldn’t be activated at will now, or she would definitely blast this audacious bastard to death!

The chaos in the void was violent; even though Zhou Heng had ascended to the Immortal Realm, he was completely at its mercy, being swept away uncontrollably by its irresistible force.

All Zhou Heng could do now was to hold the woman in his arms tightly, not allowing her to get hurt even in the slightest.

Whoosh!

The time must have been less than five minutes; Zhou Heng suddenly felt his body jerk to a stop, as the rapidly flying bodies came to a harsh halt, the rebounding force hitting them, causing him to involuntarily spurt out blood!

Under such an abrupt cessation, even Zhou Heng could not protect Huo Tian. A pink halo burst forth from inside the Peerless Heavenly Maiden’s body, forming a beautiful and giant peach blossom.

Boom, a loud noise erupted as the void itself was blown open by the peach blossom. Zhou Heng and Huo Tian were abruptly flung out by the explosive force.

Boom—

Behind them, as the void shattered, terrifying energy continued to spurt crazily. It took a long time to gradually close up and finally disappear, as if nothing had happened.

So powerful!

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but be startled. His Divine Body was extremely tough, but just an emergency stop had caused him to spit blood, nearly breaking several bones!

This was the Immortal Realm, and the principles of the Mortal Realm no longer applied!

In the Mortal Realm, he stood at the pinnacle of the world, but here, he was just the most ordinary Immortal, having only just entered the Moonlight Realm!

No, that was absolutely wrong!

The Old Swindler had said that forming One Wheel was the Initial Period of the First Layer Moonlight, Three Wheels for the middle period, Five Wheels for the later period, and Seven Wheels for the peak. But now he had formed Nine Wheels; was this still the First Layer Moonlight?

Shouldn’t he have already advanced to the Second Layer Moonlight?

But if he had reached the Second Layer Moonlight, he should have two Waning Moons turning into Half Moons, not all Nine Wheels as Waning Moons!

What in the world was going on?

Zhou Heng sensed his own power, and with a thought, Nine Wheels surged out with terrifying Spiritual Power, as if the stars in the sky could easily be crushed.

This was not just a feeling; it was an absolute reality.

Way too powerful!

Zhou Heng knew the gap between Mortals and Immortals was vast, but after reaching a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal, he figured the difference wouldn’t be that great.

However, it wasn’t until he stepped into this Realm himself that he truly understood the actual difference between the two.

They were as different as heaven and earth!

-- If he had ventured into the Immortal Realm while still a Two Tribulations Quasi-Immortal, then it would have been a simple task for the Moonlight King to kill him.

Wait, there was still an unresolved issue!

You have to eat bite by bite, and walk step by step. Advancing from a Three Tribulations Quasi-Immortal to the Initial Period of the First Layer Moonlight naturally meant forming one Waning Moon. But how did he end up forming Nine Wheels?

Wasn’t that a bit too outrageous?

"Are you planning to keep zoning out here forever?" Huo Tian suddenly spoke up, interrupting Zhou Heng’s thoughts.

Zhou Heng immediately snapped back to his senses, realizing he was now in the Immortal Realm!

He scanned around, only to see that he was in a pitch-black universe, with no trace of light to be seen anywhere—up, down, left, right, northeast, southwest. Despite his vision now penetrating a hundred thousand li, all he saw was endless darkness.

The universe of the Mortal Realm, although equally cold and desolate, was not this dark. There, the sun’s light could be seen, guiding one’s way forward.

Here, however, it was truly dead silent!

Deng Bufe had said that the great battle in ancient times had rendered the Immortal Realm non-existent, and only afterward did a Big Shot establish the forty-nine layered Immortal Cities!

A vast Immortal Realm now reduced to just forty-nine Immortal Cities—no matter how large each Immortal City was, even if the size of a planet, at most they would correspond to forty-nine life-bearing stars. But compared to this vast universe, it was nothing.

The question was, which way should he go?

"Over there—" Huo Tian pointed with her slender hand toward a direction.

Zhou Heng was now like a headless fly, and since Huo Tian had provided a direction, he saw no harm in following it, especially since he had no constructive suggestions of his own.

He held onto Huo Tian, his figure dashing swiftly as he flew toward the direction she had pointed.

The Swift Cloud Radiant Step unfolded, making him seem like a streak of light!

Fast, incredibly fast, and exhilarating!

This was originally an Immortal Technique, and no matter how high Zhou Heng’s realm in the Mortal Realm, it never met the true requirements for its use, until now.

He could finally exhibit the power of this Immortal Technique!

Quick Light Skimming Fire!

His passion surged, and he suddenly let out a loud roar. Boosted by Spiritual Power, his voice boomed mightily through the emptiness of space, reducing any floating meteorite it passed into fragments.

His current speed was at least a thousand times faster than before!

Zhou Heng laughed heartily. As he moved as fast as the wind and lightning, his high spirits also reached their peak.

"Huo Tian, why did I form nine Bright Moons as soon as I entered the Immortal Realm?" He was genuinely puzzled and could only ask for advice from this peerless Heavenly Maiden beside him. Although Huo Tian had not fully awakened, a flash of Spiritual Light was enough for her.

"You actually formed nine Bright Moons?" Huo Tian showed a hint of surprise, "Show me!"

How was he to show that, when the Bright Moon was within the Dantian World?

Seeing the confusion on Zhou Heng’s face, Huo Tian immediately said, "You just need to circulate your power with all your might!"

Zhou Heng did as instructed, and boom, nine Waning Moons immediately appeared behind him. Their cold light instantly drove away the darkness of the cosmos, as if there really were nine Bright Moons shining upon the universe, illuminating billions of miles.

"Nine Wheels Moon!" Huo Tian murmured.

"Hey, what’s actually going on?" Zhou Heng asked, not liking the idea of being clueless as if he were a fool.

Huo Tian showed a hint of perplexity, but quickly, as if a light sparked in her mind, she said, "Entering the Moonlight Realm, ordinary people can only form a single Waning Moon, and it’s even just a crescent Waning Moon at that."

Ordinary people? So, there were extraordinary ones, and he was one of them!

Zhou Heng did not interrupt Huo Tian, but instead stared at her lips, which were red as rose petals, fighting the urge to lean down and kiss them.

"From Gathering Spirit to Divinity Transformation Realm can be considered a process of laying the foundation. The more solid the foundation, the greater the breakout leaping into the Moonlight Realm can be, akin to a geyser’s eruption. Some can form a complete single Waning Moon, others even two or three Waning Moons!"

"Forming seven Waning Moons can break through to the Second Layer Heaven of Moonlight Realm, which is just a minimum standard. In fact, true experts wait until they have at least ten Bright Moons before breaking through!"

"The stronger the foundation, the greater your achievements!"

Zhou Heng couldn’t help but scratch his head and said, "Then what realm do I fall under, having formed nine Bright Moons?"

"Nonsense, you’ve formed Waning Moons, so naturally, you’re in the First Layer Heaven of Moonlight Realm!" Huo Tian immediately scorned Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng felt like collapsing, after all that he was still a Moonlight King; what was the point of having nine Bright Moons?

"However, your battle power... it can match that of the Bright Moon Second Layer Heaven!" Huo Tian added another sentence, instantly pulling Zhou Heng back from the abyss.

"Match it?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why would others suppress their realm and not break through, instead doing everything they can to increase the number of Bright Moons?" Huo Tian looked at Zhou Heng with a scornful air, as if to say he was quite ignorant.

"So now I’m... about the middle period of Second Layer Heaven of Moonlight?"

"Should be just the initial period, a Waning Moon is no match for a Half Moon, but combining two Waning Moons, or three into one, can barely compare to one Half Moon."

Zhou Heng was overjoyed, no wonder he was almost drained dry before; it was because his starting point was too high, and he had jumped straight to the heights of the Second Layer Heaven of Moonlight from being a Three Tribulations Quasi-Immortal!

The thicker the foundation, the more powerful the momentum of his ascension to the skies!

With a Dantian Space a thousand times that of the average Divinity Transformation Realm practitioner, his accumulation and subsequent breakthrough now bore him hefty rewards!

Zhou Heng grinned and said, "Doesn’t that make me quite impressive?"

Huo Tian really couldn’t stand seeing his complacent expression, but the fact was the fact, and she didn’t want to lie, saying, "It can be considered impressive."

Zhou Heng clenched his fist tightly, his heart brimming with joy. Entering the Immortal Realm with the battle power of a Moonlight Sovereign would undoubtedly make his journey much smoother.

Furthermore, nine Bright Moons was just his starting point!

After the initial excitement, Zhou Heng calmed down. No matter how heaven-defying his talent was, he was still just a Moonlight King, possessing the strength of a Moonlight Sovereign, yet holding the very lowest position within the vast Immortal Realm.

He held Huo Tian in his arms, flying swiftly through the void of space, until three days later, a vast landmass suddenly appeared in front of him!

This was not an Immortal City, but... a piece of a desolate continental fragment that had already withered away!

Just like the Fairy Continent that had crashed into Xuanqian Star in the past, except this one hadn’t been thrust into the void, so it had been wandering in the starry sky of the Immortal Realm ever since.

Hum!

The Black Sword suddenly stirred. This lad had been completely quiet even when Zhou Heng became an Immortal, but now it floated out from Zhou Heng’s Dantian Space on its own. The Broken Blade pointed towards a corner of this continent, trembling slightly.

There was treasure to be found!

This Master Jian hadn’t reacted in years, and for it to actively emerge on its own, the treasure must be exceedingly precious!(To be continued.
