Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword
Chapter 762 - 739: Everyone is Here (2/3)

Chapter 762: Chapter 739: Everyone is Here (2/3)

"Nothing!" said Zhou Heng, yet immense doubt surged in his heart.

The appearance of the Great Eternal Emperor in this location could be explained, as the restrictions of this place had been nearly destroyed, allowing him access from other areas. But how was he trapped here?

The light barrier clearly wasn’t set up by him, and if it were sealed by another, where was that person?

Was it the big shots from Juexian City? But they couldn’t enter. From such a distance, how did they manage it?

"While they are enjoying their fight, let’s go check it out!" Zhou Heng took Bing Xinzhu’s delicate hand and headed towards the coffin.

Bing Xinzhu rolled her eyes. Just go if you want, why bother holding her hand as if she was a child? Ugh, this lecherous rogue!

They had only taken a few steps when, swish, a vigorous Qi attacked, forcing them to pause.

A cold smile appeared on Zhou Heng’s face as he said, "Gongyang Taisun, you’ve finally decided to come out?"

This attack was neither from Tong Anyue nor from Kong Aokun, but from a mysterious figure underground! Only someone who possessed a Heavenly Scripture could enter here, leaving only the faction of Green Wood Heavenly Scripture.

The person was either Gongyang Taisun or Duhu Xuan! But judging from the force of that last strike, it definitely wasn’t the Sublimation Emperor at his peak!

Thus, it had to be Gongyang Taisun!

"Zhou Heng, today is the day you die!" Suddenly, a part of the ground shattered, and a figure soared into the sky, then curled back down, dressed in green, with dense black hair, radiating a brilliance that made him look like a Heavenly God descending to earth.

Zhou Heng said, "Gongyang Taisun, since when did you become so shy, burying yourself underground?"

"Save your clever words!" Gongyang Taisun bellowed back, once a young and extremely proud Supreme, but had been miserably defeated by Zhou Heng in front of everyone, a demon that gnawed at his heart, "You defeated me merely by overpowering me with your momentum. Now that I’ve broken through to Sublimation Sovereign, it’s you who will be defeated!"

Listening to his nearly hysterical roar, Bing Xinzhu sighed. What would Gongyang Taisun’s face look like if he knew that Zhou Heng had also broken through to the Sublimation Sovereign and even pushed forward to Thirteen Aspects?

But she had no sympathy for Gongyang Taisun and had no intention of intervening.

"Once defeated by me, you’ll never be my match. What makes you an exception?" Zhou Heng pointed at Gongyang Taisun, then shook his head, his disdain evident.

"Bullshit!" Gongyang Taisun, red-faced from the contempt, could no longer keep up his pretense of sophistication, and blurted out a curse. But a genius is still a genius, he quickly controlled his emotions and said coldly, "Do you know why it was I who entered this place and not my master?"

"Oh, why?" Zhou Heng said indifferently. He was indeed somewhat curious, but knowing or not didn’t make a difference since he planned to annihilate Gongyang Taisun anyway, regardless of their master-disciple schemes.

"Because... I came here to kill you! And my master, he went to kill your older martial sister!" Gongyang Taisun laughed loudly, filled with triumph.

Huo Tian, although she controlled the laws, was just a Moonlight King. That level of strength was clear! If ambushed by a Super Creation Emperor, she wouldn’t even have a chance to react and would be directly slain!

There were plenty in Juexian City who could instantly kill Huo Tian, but all were wary of what lay behind her, hence they had yet to make a move!

But Dugu Xuan had been humiliated by Huo Tian who destroyed one of his Divine Aspects, and that too publicly!

If he didn’t avenge this, how could his Dao heart remain stable, and how could he strive for a higher Realm?

Thus, even knowing about the birth of a Heavenly Scripture, he still arranged for Gongyang Taisun to enter here, while he sought an opportunity to ambush Huo Tian and obtain another Heavenly Scripture!

The environment here also provided them with an opportunity, there was a Realm restriction, and although Gongyang Taisun had only just broken through to Sublimation Sovereign, a Sovereign of Five Aspects also possessed significant battle power and was not without a chance in the competition.

Zhou Heng and Bing Xinzhu exchanged a look, both wearing peculiar expressions.

Thinking you can annihilate Huo Tian just because she’s a Moonlight King? What a joke!

The Taiyi Sect Master suddenly attacked Zhou Heng before, but Huo Tian’s defense had appeared just as suddenly, easily and pleasantly resolving the attack from a Super Creation Emperor! Attacking her directly? That would be downright suicidal!

Zhou Heng knew more, within three meters around Huo Tian was an absolute restricted area; any attack that entered this zone would be annihilated.

Those who only understand strength but blindly speculate about the power of laws are really like blind men feeling an elephant!

"What are you laughing at?" Gongyang Taisun felt the smiles of Zhou Heng and the other were too weird, why weren’t they shocked? It shouldn’t be like this; in his imagination, Zhou Heng should panic upon hearing this news.

"Can’t be bothered to talk nonsense with you!" Zhou Heng brought out Black Sword. To execute someone, Black Sword was the safest option, and he didn’t believe Gongyang Taisun had a second Substitute Jade Talisman, "I’ll take the Heavenly Scripture you carry!"

"Bullshit!" Gongyang Taisun roared, his body bursting with bluish radiance, he initiated the attack on Zhou Heng.

In his eyes, Zhou Heng was still just a Nine Aspects Sublimation King, thus he, a Sovereign of Five Aspects Sublimation Sovereign, naturally had an absolute advantage, no need for any concerns.

Zhou Heng was distracted, casually swinging his sword.

Dugu Xuan’s arrangement might seem rational, but upon further reflection, it wasn’t secure at all. How could a mere Sovereign of Four Aspects Sublimation really stand a chance against a peak Sublimation Emperor?

Was there still some hidden maneuvers?

But only those possessing a Heavenly Scripture could enter this place; either Dugu Xuan or Gongyang Taisun could come in, but not both. If Gongyang Taisun entered, it would be impossible for Dugu Xuan to do the same. What trick could he possibly play?

Bang!

A loud crash erupted as Zhou Heng and Gongyang Taisun’s attacks collided. Without any surprise, Gongyang Taisun was violently thrown backward.

"Ah—" Gongyang Taisun spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face filled with confusion.

The first time he clashed with Zhou Heng, he had the upper hand and made Zhou Heng spit blood with a single strike. Yet, not much time had passed, and now his opponent’s strength had surpassed his own, leaving him the one to be blasted till he bled!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Zhou Heng then came back to his senses, glanced at Gongyang Taisun, and immediately apologized, "I’m sorry, I was a bit distracted by some thoughts just now. Come on, this time I’ll give it my all!"

Such an apology was nothing short of a huge insult!

Gongyang Taisun’s body trembled violently, nearly spurting another mouthful of blood! However, he had recently suffered a severe defeat; his will had been considerably tempered and couldn’t be so fragile.

He frowned and looked at Zhou Heng. Stretching out his hands, a flash of green light gathered. Having reached the level of a Sublimation Sovereign, he was able to use some new Immortal Techniques, much like how Zhou Heng’s understanding of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture had greatly advanced after his breakthrough.

"Die!" Gongyang Taisun swirled up a sky-full of radiance and launched another attack at Zhou Heng.

He was unreconciled and indignant!

Zhou Heng’s eyes flashed sharply. Last time in the arena, Gongyang Taisun had escaped with his life. Today, he was determined to strike him down!

Broken Sword slashed down!

Bang—Gongyang Taisun was immediately blown away, hitting a coffin squarely, causing a muffled thud as the coffin lid was shaken open a few feet.

Zhou Heng frowned. This sword strike hadn’t managed to finish off Gongyang Taisun!

At the moment the Sword Qi erupted, a formidable force surged from within his opponent’s body, forcefully blocking his sword strike. It was only because of a slow "awakening" that he had been sent flying.

Was this the backup plan left by Dugu Xuan?

Gongyang Taisun slowly got up, his gaze shifting between confusion, struggle, and ferocity. When he stood up again, he seemed like a completely different person.

"This body... it always feels somewhat misfitting!" Gongyang Taisun grimaced as he spoke, his aura suddenly surging.

Peak, Sublimation Emperor!

Sensing this unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar energy, Zhou Heng’s eyes narrowed, and he blurted out, "Dugu Xuan!"

"Hah hah hah, indeed it is I!" Gongyang Taisun chuckled weirdly, casually stretching his limbs as if getting accustomed to this body.

"You died? Possessed your disciple’s body?" Bing Xinzhu exclaimed.

This was too inhumane, a master possessing his disciple!

"I am certainly not dead, and you best not curse me!" Gongyang Taisun emitted an overpowering aura, causing even Tong Anyue and Kong Aokun’s battle to halt as they turned to look at him.

The presence of a Super Creation Emperor, the strongest present! However, with the realm being suppressed here, it’s really hard to say who could ultimately come out on top among these three Creation Realm experts.

"This is merely one of my Divine Aspects taking control, not a true possession!" Gongyang Taisun’s gaze was ancient; at this moment, he was no longer the arrogant young man but a puppet controlled by Dugu Xuan.

Zhou Heng’s brows tightened slightly. Huo Tian had said that neither Dharma Aspect nor Divine Aspect could enter. Since she had said that, it must be true. Thus, Duhu Xuan did not merely have his Divine Aspect take over Gongyang Taisun; it truly was a possession, replacing him entirely, otherwise, he definitely couldn’t have bypassed Huo Tian’s Law restrictions!

This old man was known as the number one person in the Immortal Realm, and he surely mastered many secret techniques.

However, Zhou Heng had no interest in understanding such nefarious methods.

"Haha, the Heavenly Scriptures are gathered, this is the will of heaven!" Gongyang Taisun laughed loudly, his will now entirely dominated by Dugu Xuan.

"Indeed, it is the will of heaven, destined to make me the first in the Immortal Realm, and one day ascend to the Bright Realm!" Tong Anyue declared strongly. Those who could obtain a Heavenly Scripture were naturally proud talents of the universe.

"Tong Anyue, today you will only die by my hands!" Kong Aokun said, his blood-red eyes staring at Tong Anyue. Although he had practiced the Blood River Heavenly Scripture incorrectly, having studied two Heavenly Scriptures was like a minor fusion. At the Sublimation Emperor level, his battle power was definitely not weaker than any other.

Bang!

Just then, very abruptly, a hand thrust out from the coffin, slender and white as jade!

Shock flashed across the faces of Gongyang Taisun, Tong Anyue, and Kong Aokun. They dared not take this strange place lightly; first, their cultivation levels were suppressed—though they didn’t know Huo Tian was behind this—and then a powerful Big Shot trapped by restrictions appeared, and now a woman’s hand was emerging from the coffin!

What kind of place was this! (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com.)
