Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 535 - 514: Round 10 of the Month (2/3)

Chapter 535: Chapter 514: Round 10 of the Month (2/3)

"Chase!"

After a moment of surprise, the five Great Moonlight Sovereigns immediately divided into four to pursue the fleeing figure, with the remaining one heading straight for Lin Caijun — the boss had said they needed to capture both the man and the woman, after all, and naturally, neither could be allowed to escape!

The figure darting away was none other than Zhou Heng, whose Swift Cloud Radiant Step was incredibly fast. Combined with his own Nine Wheels Waning Moon strength, once he fully unleashed his speed, he could match the Moonlight Sovereigns at their peak level.

Under his lead, Yang Lanxin’s speed dramatically increased, incredibly swift.

"Boy, stop right there!" The four Moonlight Sovereigns gave chase with all their might, fully unleashing their power. Twenty-seven wheels of the Half Moon radiated colorful light in the pitch-dark cosmos.

They were fast, but just a tiny bit slower than Zhou Heng — a nearly negligible difference that, over time, would widen into an insurmountable gap.

The crux was whether Zhou Heng could maintain this speed for a prolonged period!

It was for this reason that the four Moonlight Sovereigns never gave up, closely trailing behind Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin.

For them, Yang Lanxin was a rare treasure, too precious to let go!

"Why aren’t you saving my cousin?" Yang Lanxin called out to Zhou Heng.

"Limited ability, if I carried two people they would definitely catch up with us!" Zhou Heng casually responded. In reality, having reached the level of an Immortal, Lin Caijun would just need to use his spiritual power to levitate himself, so carrying an extra person wouldn’t make any difference at all.

Yang Lanxin trembled with anger, wasn’t that a blatant lie?

Yet, Zhou Heng had just saved her life, sparing her from falling into the hands of those evil bandits. That was a huge favor. Even if she wanted to be ungrateful, she would have to wait until they were in a safe place to do whatever she wanted.

Additionally, Zhou Heng was also a genius that she sought to recruit. Now that the Yang family had lost a starship and over a hundred Moonlight Realm Immortals, if she could bring Zhou Heng back, it would slightly make up for the loss.

Thus, she could only reproach him slightly.

Could she not be angry?

She hadn’t known before, but now that Zhou Heng was fully exerting his power, the Nine Wheels Moon shone brightly behind him! Nine Wheels Moon, that’s a force on par with the Moonlight Sovereign in the Initial Period. Earlier, Lin Caijun was undoubtedly tricked by Zhou Heng, which led to his collision with Star Charm, nearly losing his life!

This guy really knew how to hide his strength!

However, having seen the Nine Wheels Moon, Yang Lanxin’s desire to recruit Zhou Heng reached its peak!

Just entering the Moonlight Realm and possessing the Nine Wheels Moon, what could his future hold? He was absolutely a rare talent, someone who could potentially grow into a supreme being like the Creation Emperor, capable of reigning supreme in the Juexian City!

With this thought, Yang Lanxin was even more reluctant to fall out with Zhou Heng. As for Lin Caijun... he had to leave his fate to the heavens.

"Stop!" "Halt!"

The four Moonlight Sovereigns bellowed furiously from behind, but the distance between them and Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin kept growing. After a full day and night, they had been left so far behind that not even their shadows were visible.

In the vast expanse of the Star Sea, once you lose someone, it’s basically impossible to catch up again.

Zhou Heng slowed down, thankfully having shaken off his pursuers, otherwise his spiritual power would have been nearly drained.

"There’s a large continent ahead, let’s go there first!" Yang Lanxin’s nature was one to let bygones be bygones. Having decided to recruit Zhou Heng, she resolutely forgot about his pretense. Moreover, hiding one’s strength in front of strangers is a cautious approach, despite it being somewhat sinister when he deceived Lin Caijun.

Zhou Heng nodded. If they wanted to return to the Immortal City, their only hope was to find another starship, but the chances of encountering one in the vast cosmos were virtually nil. Only by reaching the continent could they hope to meet forces involved in mining ores.

Whoosh, whoosh, the two of them shot forward. As they entered the range of the continent, they were hit with a massive gravitational force, causing both to stagger and rapidly fall.

The gravity here was at least a hundred times more potent than that of the previous landmass!

Both Zhou Heng and Yang Lanxin could still fly, but the spiritual power consumed increased exponentially. It was more economical simply to walk on the ground; it was not any slower and consumed much less energy.

"You should recover some spiritual power first!" Yang Lanxin handed Zhou Heng an Immortal Stone.

Zhou Heng already had Immortal Stones in his Space Artifact, looted from Linghu Xuan and Deng Bufe, but since Yang Lanxin was offering, he had no reason to refuse. He accepted it without ceremony and began to sit in meditation to recover his spiritual power as quickly as possible.

The quickest way, in fact, would be to absorb the power of the Star Core; its spiritual energy was the purest and richest. However, using it to restore spiritual power would be too wasteful! He planned to save it for his beloved wife and family members.

Yang Lanxin also took out an Immortal Stone to absorb its energy. The previous battle had drained her significantly, and since then, she had been continuously fleeing, with no time to recover.

The two sat down to meditate. Though they had known each other for only a few days, their shared adversity had led to a certain level of trust. Of course, it was impossible to trust each other completely.

Abundant with spiritual energy, the Immortal Stones helped Zhou Heng regain his vitality after a day and a night. He didn’t stand up, though. Instead, he continued to draw Life Essence Qi from the Black Sword.

He had slain seventeen Immortals, and the Black Sword contained an abundance of Life Essence Qi.

This Life Essence Qi converted into spiritual power at an astonishing rate, genuinely advancing Zhou Heng’s strength.

Zhou Heng’s Nine Wheels Moon were all tending towards completion, and after just a short while, he hit a bottleneck because there was no way to further enhance the Nine Wheels Moon, and the Spiritual Power provided by the Black Sword started accumulating continuously.

Zhou Heng felt as if he was holding a bellyful of air that was going to burst him open, yet he didn’t pause for an instant, he just kept on drawing power from the Black Sword.

After refining half of the Life Essence Qi from the Black Sword, he reached a critical point.

Pop!

A tiny white dot appeared at the edge of the Nine Wheels Waning Moon in his Dantian World.

The Tenth Wheel Moon!

Although it was still in its infancy, he had taken the most difficult step; the rest would be easy.

Zhou Heng continued to draw the Spiritual Energy from the Black Sword, and the little white dot also began to grow quickly, emitting a brighter and more intense white light. From a small point, it slowly stretched out, forming a small Waning Moon.

When all the Life Essence Qi in the Black Sword had been drawn out, this Tenth Wheel Waning Moon had also grown to one-third of its full size.

Zhou Heng leaped up powerfully, running at full strength, releasing bright light from the Ten Wheels Waning Moon, his power surged instantly to a terrifying degree.

Compared to before, he was at least three times stronger!

Once this Tenth Wheel Waning Moon was completely formed, his power would increase by about ten times.

Indeed, one more moon’s power makes an incomparably vast difference.

Zhou Heng stretched his limbs, glanced up, and saw Yang Lanxin staring at him as if she saw a monster, her big charming eyes fixed on him, her red lips outrageously wide open, easily giving rise to wicked thoughts, wanting to stuff something that had become hard on his body into it.

"Ten, Ten Wheels Moon!" Yang Lanxin was nearly going mad.

A common Martial Artist in the Moonlight Realm would advance one minor realm for every seven wheels formed, meaning with every accumulation of seven wheels, they could take a big step forward and enter the next minor realm, turning the Waning Moon into a Half Moon, and the Half Moon into a Full Moon.

Occasionally, a prodigy may break through after forming Eight Wheels, or even Nine Wheels, Ten Wheels Moon, and instantly reach the early, even mid-stages of the next minor realm!

But such a genius... only comes once in a thousand years!

Yet what about this monster in front of her? He had Nine Wheels Waning Moon as soon as he entered the Moonlight Realm, and now he had even formed the Tenth Wheel!

What was even more terrifying was that this fellow had obviously just advanced into the Moonlight Realm, so it was clear that he wouldn’t advance to the Second Layer Heaven right after the Tenth Wheel Waning Moon was completely formed, which meant his ultimate goal wouldn’t stop at ten moons!

Normally speaking, there should be at least sixteen moons formed by adding nine plus seven!

Just thinking of this number made Yang Lanxin feel like fainting; sixteen moons, nearly on par with a Peak Level Bright Moon Sovereign!

But is the difficulty of enhancement the same? It’s at least ten times harder for the Bright Moon Sovereign!

That’s precisely why those experts do everything they can to increase the number of moons before breaking through, because the difficulties involved in achieving the same level of Battle Power are completely incomparable!

We must get a grip on this man and bind him to the Yang family’s war chariot!

Yang Lanxin thought to herself, as she seemed to see the rise of the Yang family, sweeping through Xihai City, and even marching onwards, potentially claiming a place for themselves in Juexian City in the future!

It would be an infinite glory!

"Is there a flower growing on my face?" Zhou Heng was puzzled, and being stared at so intently by such a beauty, he was somewhat moved too; after all, not only was this woman as beautiful as a flower, but her figure was also extremely sexy, and those protruding curves were simply irresistible.

Yang Lanxin certainly didn’t mind letting Zhou Heng feast his eyes on her; after all, she hadn’t exposed anything tangible and suffered no substantial loss. She smiled seductively and said, "So Brother Zhou’s strength is so formidable!"

Previously, she had called Zhou Heng ’Brother Zhou of the World’ because she was a realm higher than him, and since Martial Artists pay utmost respect to strength, regardless of how much Yang Lanxin valued Zhou Heng, she couldn’t treat him as an equal.

But now it was different. Zhou Heng had Ten Wheels Moon, with Battle Power comparable to the Moonlight Sovereign, and it was natural for him to be considered her equal, thus the address shifted from ’Brother Zhou of the World’ to ’Brother Zhou.’

A small change in a title, but it represents a completely different meaning.

Since he had already revealed his strength, Zhou Heng didn’t bother being modest. After smiling, he said, "The gravity here is so strong!"

"Indeed!" Yang Lanxin’s coquettish eyes lit up immediately, but then she showed a disappointed look, "The gravity here is so intense, it must contain extremely precious metals, and in large amounts too! Unfortunately, our star ship has been taken by the Star Sea pirates!"

"Metals!" Zhou Heng showed a look of interest. He didn’t need to worry about Huo Tian’s safety; she only bullied others, when was it ever the other way around? Maybe by the time he saw her again, she had already become the queen of all the Star Sea pirates!

"Let’s go and take a look!" He moved with an intent to devour.

In the Mortal Realm, his constitution was almost invincible, but in the Immortal Realm, it hardly mattered; it was time to enhance it a bit. (To be continued.
