Chapter 820: Chapter 797 Perfection of the Five Elements (3/3)

Zhou Heng was racing against time!

If he could fully master the Chaos Heavenly Scripture before the Great Runes crushed his Sea of Consciousness, he could launch a counterattack and turn the tide. Otherwise, he would be doomed!

If he turned into a living dead, there would be no need to say more. No one else possessing the Heavenly Scripture would be alive; they would all be refined by the great formation and turned into nutrients for that Seven Stars Fruit, ultimately fulfilling the two Chi Wei.

He absolutely could not fail!

He hadn’t made Huo Tian his wife yet, he hadn’t become a father, he still had so many relatives and friends; how could he die here?

Faster! A little faster!

The Great Runes were unstoppable all the way. Even when Zhou Heng advanced the combination of Minor Runes to three hundred and forty, it did little to help. In front of thirty-six thousand Broken Runes of the Great Runes, it was nothing!

Without reaching the critical point of qualitative change, everything was in vain!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Zhou Heng’s Divine Bone also began to fracture; only the circulation of Spiritual Power kept his skeleton intact, otherwise, his current appearance would be unbearable to look at!

Faster! Faster! Faster!

Zhou Heng’s mind was racing, his Perception Power reached its limit, and the combination of Minor Runes continued to progress: three hundred and forty-one, three hundred and forty-two, three hundred and forty-three...

A little faster! A little faster!

Crack, crack, crack, crack! There was no longer a complete bone to be seen on Zhou Heng’s body, even the skull had cracks all over it. The reason it hadn’t shattered completely was because Huo Tian had once imprinted a true rune here. Even though only a corner remained, it was above all beings, and even now, though lost, a mysterious force lingered, preserving a spark of hope for Zhou Heng.

Three hundred and fifty! Three hundred and fifty-five!

The Great Runes were already nearing the center of the Sea of Consciousness, the destructive Sharp Killing Qi wreaking havoc, causing Zhou Heng such pain that he wished for death!

You bastard, just wait, I’ll blast you into bits when I return!

Zhou Heng shouted in his heart, although his body was broken, and his Divine Sense half-destroyed, his consciousness had achieved sublimation, truly surpassing himself!

Three hundred and fifty-nine!

Three hundred and sixty-six!

Buzz!

A complete Minor Rune appeared, transforming into a golden seed!

One thought, one flower blooms, a flower, a world!

This Rune bloomed like a flower, and its petals were composed of as many as five hundred Minor Runes!

The advance of the Great Runes came to an abrupt halt!

Zhou Heng’s Divine Sense formed a body identical to him, stepping forward with a foot, golden Runes bloomed, creating a pentagon, interconnecting to form a perfect cycle.

"Get out of my body!" Zhou Heng shouted, punching out, activating the Five Elements Rune!

Buzz!

Zhou Heng’s skeleton instantly erupted with dazzling golden light, illuminating the world!

A black light was forcibly crushed into countless fragments, ejected from his body, but was quickly overtaken by the golden light, immediately dissolved like snow in boiling water!

Zhou Heng’s body moved, his Divine Sense returned, and his skeleton began healing at a visible speed, rapidly erasing all fracture marks, then flesh and blood regenerated, skin smooth and fair, black hair thick.

He suddenly opened his eyes, the radiant Divine Light seemed to penetrate the land and sky!

In fact, he truly could!

He had already formed a complete Five Elements Rune, fully suppressing the Heavenly Scripture here in terms of level.

This sky could no longer obscure his eyes! This land could no longer bury his heart!

"Zhou, did you resurrect on the spot?" the Black Donkey shouted, "Quickly save me, I can’t hold on any longer!"

Zhou Heng was injured by his own rebound, so he could instantly heal his injuries with a thought. But the Black Donkey’s injury was from Zhou Heng’s counteraction; how could it heal without first expelling Zhou Heng’s Exotic Spiritual Power?

"Anyway, you won’t die immediately, hang on a little longer!" Zhou Heng laughed out loud, but only jokingly, as he extended his hand and wiped away the Exotic Spiritual Power from the Black Donkey’s body.

The Black Donkey had also cultivated a part of the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, which included Minor Runes capable of healing injuries, and immediately began restoring its injuries.

Zhou Heng looked again at the black pillar of light, a smile playing on his lips, as he extended his right hand and pressed it against the pillar. Buzz, golden light overflowed across the sky, crack, crack, crack, countless cracks appeared on the black pillar of light, spreading like a spider web over the entire pillar.

Bang!

With a loud crash, the pillar shattered into countless fragments, drifting and falling.

One out of the ten pillars was extinguished, visible for miles.

Seeing this pillar extinguished should certainly fill the Blue Dragon Empress and Red Dragon Empress with immense confidence, right?

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Donkey, let’s get moving if you’re ready, we’ve got lots to do!" He cast his gaze toward the remaining nine pillars of light.

"How did you suddenly become so powerful?" The Black Donkey jumped up, and after the exotic spiritual energy inside it was drained away, it naturally also healed its injuries quickly.

"The Five Elements Rune has achieved perfection, how could I not be powerful?"

Zhou Heng said this, but inwardly he sighed. The Five Elements Rune indeed possessed great power, but just like the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, it also consumed a great deal of spiritual power!

However, the two are completely different!

In terms of current power, the Five Elements Rune is undoubtedly stronger. Zhou Heng was confident that if he encountered a Bright Immortal, he would at least have the power to protect himself! If he accidentally struck the Bright Immortal, it would shatter instantly!

Clearly, the Sky-soaring Nine Forms isn’t capable of unleashing such power!

What’s the difference?

—— The Sky-soaring Nine Forms unleash all the power within Zhou Heng in an instant, and the extent of the power explosion depends entirely on his own strength, thus being completely limited by his realm.

However, the Five Elements Rune is the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth, and with the emergence of the rune, it naturally resonates with the power of heaven and earth, increasing its power by thousands or even tens of thousands of times!

But to say the Nine Forms are inferior to the Chaos Heavenly Scripture? Not really!

Because the level of the Heavenly Scripture is fixed. It is indeed supreme in the Immortal Realm, and even extraordinary in the Bright Realm, but this is ultimately just a fusion of the five Heavenly Scriptures in the Immortal Realm, which has its limits!

But as Zhou Heng’s power grows, the power of the Sky-soaring Nine Forms can be infinitely enhanced, offering great potential for growth.

Since it can borrow the power of heaven and earth, the power of the Five Elements Rune currently surpasses that of the Sky-soaring Nine Forms, and Zhou Heng estimates that he can operate the Five Elements Rune at least ten times consecutively before exhausting his strength.

Of course, if he breaks down the Five Elements Rune, he can use it more times.

Even though his cultivation level hasn’t progressed, and even regressed to the Fourteen Aspects Sublimation Emperor due to damage to his sea of consciousness and significant loss of essence blood, Zhou Heng’s battle power has shown an indescribable improvement!

This will give everyone a surprise!

"Let’s go and dismantle this broken formation and snatch the Seven Stars fruit!"

The Black Donkey, originally suffering severe injuries and looking listless, suddenly had eyes bright as Zhou Heng spoke these words. In an instant, its spirit was invigorated, and it hurriedly leaped up and called out, "Let’s go, go, go, go, go!"

Its donkey butt swayed left and right as it joyfully ran off.

This greedy donkey is truly destined to succumb to its avarice!

Based on the positions of the nine light pillars, Zhou Heng planned a route and then set off with the Black Donkey.

Now that he wielded the Five Elements Rune, the rules of the formation could no longer affect him, as if he transcended this world, with an invisible force flowing through him, allowing him to be beyond the ordinary.

And after breaking one light pillar, the rate at which the realm was decreasing slowed significantly; although Zhou Heng was no longer affected by this power, he could still sense the suppression.

Two days later, Zhou Heng and the donkey were about to reach beneath the second light pillar, but at that moment, they saw a rampant Fire Bull charging toward them.

Zhou Heng couldn’t be sure if it was the same Fire Bull that had chased them earlier, but since this monster was derived from the formation, it naturally wouldn’t be suppressed by the formation and remained at the Creation King level!

Zhou Heng’s eyes narrowed, he had to speed up, or else the two Dragon Sovereigns might fall prey to these rampaging monsters!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Fire Bull charged fiercely, flames a yard long spraying from its nostrils, making the ground tremble like boiling water. This Fire Bull then charged, lowering its head with its sword-like horns attacking Zhou Heng and the Black Donkey.

"Zhou, save me!" The Black Donkey screeched.

Zhou Heng burst into laughter, throwing a punch as a golden rune first appeared beneath his feet and swiftly rose up to flood through his entire body, finally launching through his fist.

Bang!

The golden rune swept through, and all returned to silence!

"Where’s the Fire Bull?" The Black Donkey blinked, and the Fire Bull’s trace vanished, prompting it to ask in astonishment, "Did this big fellow learn to teleport?"

Zhou Heng chuckled softly, saying, "Gone!"

The mutual generation of the Five Elements creates a world itself and can annihilate everything!

A mere Creation King level monster, if not born from the formation, would be nothing in the face of the rune’s power. Zhou Heng previously could have killed the Fire Bull. Now entirely mastering the Five Elements Rune, this Fire Bull was truly no match.

"Zhou, you’re definitely a bit against the heavens now!" The Black Donkey remarked sincerely.

Indeed, despite being just a Sublimation Emperor, Zhou Heng easily vanquished a Creation King level monster, which was beyond strength—it’s abnormal!

"Let’s go, we’ll chat later!"

Until he found the two Dragon Sovereigns, Zhou Heng couldn’t rest easy! With the realm of the formation now reduced to the Sublimation Sovereign level, everyone apart from him and the Black Donkey facing monsters like the Fire Bull would only meet their demise!

After a half-day, Zhou Heng arrived beneath the second light pillar.

Interestingly, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Family and Fang Yirong, along with three others, had also arrived there. Plus a few Zhou Heng didn’t recognize at all, who definitely hadn’t been present during the earlier battle with the two Chi Weis, possibly lurking in the shadows to watch and later seize the opportunity for profit.

But the two Chi Weis were cunning, using everyone’s greed to trap and doom all.

Seeing Zhou Heng approach, the Tai Family Old Ancestor showed a trace of fear but mostly confusion and astonishment. (To be continued.
