Chapter 819: Chapter 796 Confrontation and Comprehension (2/3)

What a tragedy for a Bright Immortal to die at the hands of a Sublimation Emperor?

Tai Family’s Old Ancestor, Fang Yirong, and the other two looked at Zhou Heng with eyes as if looking at a monster. In this world, a Bright Immortal is the supreme existence! After becoming a Bright Immortal, although not invincible, if one doesn’t want to die, no one can kill them. There’s always a way to escape alive.

Unless it’s a fight to the death, even a Bright Immortal cannot kill a Bright Immortal, let alone a mere Sublimation Emperor?

But now, in this special environment, a Bright Immortal has died at the hands of a Sublimation Emperor. What a disgrace, how can one rest in peace?

In a fair fight, Ma Family’s Old Ancestor could easily crush Zhou Heng a hundred, a thousand, even ten thousand times, but now he has become a spirit under Zhou Heng’s sword!

Seeing Zhou Heng’s cold and stern eyes approaching, Tai Family’s Old Ancestor involuntarily retreated!

On this trip for the Seven Star Fruit, he knew there were risks involved, but it was hard for a Bright Immortal to die. At most, they would pay the price of losing a few Divine Aspects, but never could he have imagined facing mortal danger!

But now, the threat of death hovered over him like a steely knife poised at his throat, forcing him to consider this terrifying consequence.

"I like being alone!" Zhou Heng did not go on a rampage, he simply said nonchalantly.

Tai Family’s Old Ancestor, Fang Yirong, and the other two naturally understood the meaning of this sentence. Zhou Heng was issuing an eviction order. Damn it, they were here first, why should they give way to Zhou Heng?

But there was no choice, Ma Family’s Old Ancestor’s corpse wasn’t even cold, who wanted to accompany him?

Fang Yirong and the other two weren’t originally Zhou Heng’s rivals, but Tai Family’s Old Ancestor was fuming with anger, what a disgrace, a mere Sublimation Emperor dared to trample over him!

If only I leave here!

Tai Family’s Old Ancestor said to himself in silence, fearful that his killing intent would be discovered by Zhou Heng. He swiftly turned and left, disappearing into the distance with Tai Yuan and the other two in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Black Donkey finally sauntered over, glanced at Ma Family’s Old Ancestor’s corpse, and excitedly said, "Zhou, we don’t rush to break the formation, you’re absolutely invincible now, let’s go rob someone!"

"Rob your sister!" Zhou Heng glared at the greedy donkey who didn’t value its life, "If we delay any longer, we will all be refined into blood water, and I have no interest in dying with you!"

"Alas, just teasing you, do you really think I am the kind of greedy and foolish donkey?"

"I think you are!"

"Woof, I’m gonna bite someone now!"

Zhou Heng stood in front of the black pillar of light, and with time passing, the environmental pressure on him intensified. The Five Elements Rune was automatically operating to resist this pressure, but the effect was not obvious.

From the level of the Heavenly Scripture, the Chaos Heavenly Scripture is a fusion of all the Heavenly Scriptures of this generation in the Immortal Realm, reaching the Great Perfection of Five Elements, and it can even rival the Bright Realm Heavenly Scripture!

Supposedly, the Five Elements Rune should easily suppress this place’s runes, but Zhou Heng hasn’t truly mastered the Five Elements Rune, not even forming one Minor Rune, so how could he resist a relatively complete Great Rune comprised of one hundred Minor Runes?

His resistance power was definitely stronger than others, but only slightly, eventually he would also be refined by the grand formation into flesh and blood essence to nourish that Seven Star Fruit!

— He came to seize the Holy Medicine, not to serve as its nourishment!

Now unable to communicate with Hongyue, everything depended on himself!

Zhou Heng showed a confident smile; he was a genius in perception, he could definitely do it!

He extended his right hand and pressed onto the black pillar of light.

Buzz, a profound feeling immediately filled Zhou Heng’s entire being, allowing him to wander beyond the heavens in an instant, completely losing any ability to think.

The Black Donkey initially didn’t take it seriously, but after one day passed with Zhou Heng still in the same posture, and even his Life Fire began to destabilize, it finally panicked and bit Zhou Heng’s butt fiercely.

Bang!

Currently, Zhou Heng’s consciousness was vacant, unable to suppress his power, his Body-Protective Spiritual Power burst out suddenly, shattering the Black Donkey’s whole mouth with a jolt, hurting it so much that tears flowed from its eyes.

Yet Zhou Heng’s body only trembled slightly, not waking up.

"Donkey Lady, this is killing me!" The Black Donkey wailed, but without hesitation, it kicked Zhou Heng’s butt with another kick.

Crack!

The energy rebounded, shattering all the bones in the Black Donkey’s leg instantly, but Zhou Heng still showed no signs of waking.

"You owe me big time!"

The Black Donkey howled and launched another attack.

Zhou Heng’s soul wandering consciousness finally twitched slightly, vaguely feeling something seemingly bumping into him. His reaction was painfully slow now, so much so that after a long while he eventually realized and forced his eyes open.

A blood-covered donkey was desperately ramming into him, like a mortal charging against a towering mountain, with no difference from courting death.

Zhou Heng quickly extended his right hand, using Void Control to stop the Black Donkey’s next collision, saying, "Donkey, no need to crash anymore, I’m awake!"

"Donkey Lady, if you don’t wake up soon, I’ll really be dying here!" The Black Donkey shrieked miserably, its whole body collapsed sideways to the ground, panting heavily, with blood all over the place.

"Donkey, there’s no need for thanks between us!" Zhou Heng nodded, extending his hand once again.

"Zhou, you better hold on this time, because I don’t have the strength to call your soul back this time!" the Black Donkey said weakly. It truly was severely injured this time. Although it was slamming into Zhou Heng, it felt like being beaten by the Sublimation Emperor.

Zhou Heng nodded. Both he and the donkey knew they must break this formation, or they would both face the fate of being turned into blood water!

The Five Elements Runes operated frantically, and Zhou Heng once again placed his hand on the black pillar of light.

Boom!

His mind suddenly exploded like a cosmic starburst, filled with brilliant lights and shadows, as a super giant rune emerged, pressing against his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to erase his Divine Soul and turn him into a living dead!

This was a relatively complete rune!

Like the Blood River Heavenly Scripture and the Green Wood Heavenly Scripture, each has a hundred minor runes, which can be combined to form relatively complete great runes.

This was what Zhou Heng was facing now!

This was a great rune composed of one hundred minor runes, an embodiment of a Heavenly Scripture, consisting of a total of thirty-six thousand broken runes.

Yet Zhou Heng, what he currently mastered in minor runes was only composed of three hundred and twenty-seven broken runes, and even with the Five Elements Unification, it was only around one thousand six hundred broken runes, how could he contend with a super giant rune composed of thirty-six thousand broken runes?

He could withdraw his hand immediately, causing the rune’s attack to dissipate on its own, but if he did so, how could he break this grand formation?

There was no way back!

Retreating would only mean a slower death!

Fight it!

Zhou Heng summoned his fierce determination, organizing the Five Elements Runes to meet the great rune. This was a battle on the plane of consciousness. The Black Sword and the Fire Divine Furnace couldn’t participate, nor was the Chaos Heavenly Scripture mastered by Zhou Heng, rendering it powerless.

Everything relied solely on Zhou Heng!

But the disparity in strength was too great, akin to a vastly outnumbered army. The great rune smashed through, absolutely unstoppable!

Zhou Heng’s Divine Sense took shape, frowning intently.

In terms of the Heavenly Scripture’s tier, the Five Elements Runes could be likened to a machete, while this rune was akin to a dagger, originally leaving no suspense since the machete would easily cleave the dagger.

But in this current situation, the Five Elements Runes were incomplete, rendering the machete riddled with holes, resembling decaying wood, destined to be easily sliced by the dagger!

Zhou Heng calmed his mind, organizing the Five Elements Runes for resistance to buy time, while analyzing the composition of this rune through the confrontation.

Buzz!

The great rune emitted a pitch-black glow, likely a gold-attribute Heavenly Scripture. The gleam was filled with sharp killing Qi, causing excruciating pain in Zhou Heng’s Sea of Consciousness, as if his entire head was pierced with spikes, causing sweat to pour profusely.

His will was undergoing a tremendous test; the Heavenly Scripture was the strongest cultivation technique in a realm. Such an attack couldn’t be withstood even by a Bright Immortal, let alone Zhou Heng, a mere Sublimation Emperor?

Fortunately, this was a consciousness-level attack; otherwise, Zhou Heng would have already turned into a pool of blood!

All along his journey, his consciousness endured countless torments and tests. Though this pain would have an Immortal writhing on the ground, crying, Zhou Heng persevered.

He trembled all over; each Divine Bone in his body crackled, and blood seeped through his skin!

While his consciousness could endure such pain, his body could not!

His flesh and meridians were disintegrating; the power of the Heavenly Scripture was beyond ordinary comprehension!

"You brat—" the Black Donkey screamed beside him, seeing that Zhou Heng’s consciousness was very clear, not needing it to desperately awaken him. But this kid’s actions were akin to suicide!

It wanted to move, but after the previous impact, all its bones were shattered. After the sharp Qi disappeared, could it stand again?

Zhou Heng’s entire being turned into blood, but as his flesh and blood entirely separated from his body, his entire Divine Bone shone brilliantly, not terrifying, but instead exuding a sacred aura.

The great rune advanced through his Sea of Consciousness; Zhou Heng’s resistance had a negligible effect. However, his goal wasn’t to block the great rune but to perceive the secret of the Heavenly Scripture in the clash with the great rune with his heaven-defying perception power!

To complete the true integration of three hundred and sixty broken rune flows, thus achieving qualitative change, Five Elements Unification, then he would possess a great rune composed of one hundred and eighty thousand broken runes, completely crushing this great rune.

By then, the roles of big brother and little brother would switch!

But first, he must fully comprehend the Chaos Heavenly Scripture!

When pushed to a dead end, Zhou Heng’s perception power seemed to explode as if injected with adrenaline, skyrocketing to the heavens!

Three hundred twenty-eight, three hundred twenty-nine, three hundred thirty!

The number of broken runes he mastered was rapidly increasing! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
