Chapter 825: Chapter 802: Bright Immortal Destroyed in a Snap of the Fingers (2/3)

"Oh, right!" Zhou Heng stopped after taking a few steps and turned around to look at the group. "I almost forgot, you three tried to ambush our small boat back in the swamp, didn’t you?"

Those three were Bright Immortals, but when faced with Zhou Heng’s questioning, they were all as if facing a formidable adversary, as if the other party was not just a Sublimation Emperor, but a super big shot from the Bright Realm.

"At that time, we didn’t know you were on the boat too, we’re truly sorry!" The three looked at each other and decided to swallow their pride for the moment.

"This kind of trivial apology is honestly more irritating than if you had said nothing!" Zhou Heng folded his arms across his chest and glared at the three of them. "It lacks sincerity, I don’t accept it!"

Damn, we are dignified Bright Immortals, lowering our status to apologize to you, what more do you want?

"How would you like to resolve this?"

Zhou Heng laughed aloud and said, "Killing is nothing more than falling down to the ground; I, someone who values reason, certainly wouldn’t resort to random violence—"

Hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Tai Family, Fang Yirong, and others all rolled their eyes. Claiming not to resort to violence, who, pray tell, killed that elder and youth from the Ma Family? Surely, they didn’t decide to commit suicide out of frustration, right?

"Show some sincerity, kneel and apologize!" Zhou Heng’s expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

He was indeed furious. Had it not been for the two Dragon Sovereigns on the small boat at the time or if the two Dragon Sovereigns’ strength had been slightly inferior, they would have met the fate of capsized boat and drowned crew!

The Toxic Swamp indeed couldn’t kill a Bright Immortal instantly, but would these people watch idly as others escaped onto the island to free themselves? Obviously not; they definitely intended to eliminate all threats!

Don’t forget, these people may appear well-dressed, but they are all Star Sea bandits, with ruthless blood coursing through their veins!

So domineering!

Daring to ask Bright Immortals to kneel and apologize!

If Zhou Heng can truly do that, he would absolutely be the number one in the world, creating an unprecedented feat! Of course, the three kneeling Bright Immortals would be cursed for generations!

Fang Yirong and Yang Xinghua watched with glowing eyes, thinking, this is a real man!

Why didn’t they notice when trapped in the grand array? Back then, Zhou Heng’s demeanor wasn’t exactly warm but certainly not so cold as to ignore them entirely! Had they thrown away their dignity as noble ladies to please him, maybe by now, they could be his lovers!

Regret!

Compared to their infatuation, Ju Huayi’s face was bitter; Zhou Heng could actually contend with Bright Immortals and even gain the upper hand. Yet, he dared to think of stepping on Zhou Heng back then, how overconfident was he?

Fortunately, after suffering losses, he had no chance to ask his elders to fight for him. This matter ends here. Even if given a hundred more guts, he wouldn’t dare oppose Zhou Heng again!

"Hmph!" The three involved Bright Immortals all had dark expressions; this little Sublimation Emperor is too arrogant. Don’t think you’re invincible just because you’ve mastered some peculiar secret technique! A Sublimation Emperor is still just a Sublimation Emperor, aren’t the levels of a Martial Artist meaningless?

There must be some secret treasure of the Bright Realm on this brat, otherwise, how could he withstand the assaults of Bright Immortal level attacks?

Just like previously with Fang Yirong, she had a Talisman from the Bright Realm in hand. So why can’t Zhou Heng have obtained a more powerful Talisman or the like?

Yes, it must be this consumable-type treasure! Because, if it were a Treasure Artifact, it would require the user to activate it with their own power—how could a mere Sublimation Emperor be qualified to wield a Treasure Artifact from the Bright Realm?

But consumable-types are different; as long as a thought activates it, it can continue to function until its power is exhausted.

The key is, how long can it last!

Moreover, the second Chi Wei is reportedly killed by Zhou Heng, indicating he did not only have a defensive Talisman, but also an offensive one. This couldn’t help but wrinkle their brows!

If even the Chi Wei, which was a Five Aspects Bright Immortal, could be blown away, then it’s not a problem to kill them too!

The others remained silent, each unable to understand how a Sublimation Emperor could possess such heaven-defying ability, so they chose to stand by, planning to carefully observe the fight between the three and Zhou Heng to uncover Zhou Heng’s secrets.

"Strike first to gain the upper hand!" one of the three, an old man with a long beard reaching his chest, shouted, his figure lunging out first. With a beckoning gesture of his right hand, meteors rained down as if droplets, crashing towards Zhou Heng.

The other two also launched their attacks almost simultaneously: one let out a roar, sound waves transforming into countless weapons, darting rapidly at Zhou Heng, while the other thrust both palms, raising swirling gales of hurricanes threatening to tear through the space towards Zhou Heng.

With a thought, Zhou Heng formed a golden Light Shield around him, creating a shield wall as solid as rock. It was a defense formed from the Earth Series Runes extracted from the Chaos Heavenly Scripture, focused on a singular attribute.

Among the Five Elements, earth is the strongest defensive attribute—of course, combining all Five Elements, with mutual promotion and restraint, defense would certainly be stronger. However, Zhou Heng’s current cultivation level wasn’t sufficient to endlessly operate the Five Elements Rune, so he had to appropriately reduce his battle power.

In fact, using just twenty percent of his power was enough to block the opponent’s attacks, so why exert ten times the effort?

He’s not a spendthrift!

Bang bang bang bang, amidst intense collisions, all attacks rebounded off the stone shield.

Zhou Heng’s power was indeed limited, but as long as he activated the might of the runes, they were in line with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. Even if Zhou Heng wasn’t qualified to fully understand what these principles were yet, as long as he could utilize them, it was enough.

Here we go again!

All the Bright Immortals widened their eyes. What kind of figures were they? Naturally, they could sense even the slightest fluctuation of power. It was evident that the power circulating from Zhou Heng’s body was extremely limited, but once it was activated, the heavens and earth would naturally resonate, amplifying this power boundlessly!

They couldn’t help but be terrified!

In theory, all Immortal Techniques follow the same principle, which is to use one’s own power to draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth, thereby amplifying one’s battle power!

This is one of the reasons why power does not equal battle power.

However, even the amplification of power by Immortal Techniques is not boundless. Generally speaking, a hundredfold amplification is about the limit, which would already be a Creation Realm level Immortal Technique! But Zhou Heng is merely a Sublimation Emperor, yet his power can be amplified to the point of contending with Bright Immortals. How many times is that increase?

Tens of thousands? Millions? Tens of millions?

How can such a Cultivation Technique exist in this world?

It must be the Heavenly Scripture!

But then again, Zhou Heng is only a Sublimation Emperor and does not have the qualifications to fully master the Heavenly Scriptures of the Immortal Realm!

These Bright Immortals are among the most knowledgeable in the entire Immortal Realm, yet now they are all scratching their heads, filled with confusion. For people of their realm, such puzzles are most fascinating. If they can’t get to the bottom of it, how can they progress on the Martial Path?

This kind of torment shouldn’t be allowed!

Zhou Heng coldly looked at the three Bright Immortals and said, "Since you are unwilling to kneel and apologize, then I have no choice but to take action!" He intended to kill these three chickens to warn all the Bright Immortals, to prevent them from getting entangled again.

"Hahaha, let’s see what methods you have!" The long-bearded old man laughed loudly, as he had already discovered Zhou Heng’s weakness.

After all, Zhou Heng’s Realm is only that of a Sublimation Emperor, far from the realm of a Bright Immortal! Therefore, whether it’s his movement speed or attack speed, he can only perform at the Sublimation Emperor level.

As terrifying as his lethality might be, what’s the use if he can’t hit anyone?

Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "Then come and try!"

Stepping down with his foot, a Golden Light emerged, forming a golden rune beneath him, with a buzzing vibration passing through it. This golden rune had already appeared under the long-bearded old man’s feet!

Boom!

The golden rune immediately burst into an incredibly bright light, supreme and awe-inspiring.

"What—" The long-bearded old man exclaimed in shock; he hadn’t expected Zhou Heng’s attack to come so suddenly! Just as he lost focus for a moment, the golden rune unleashed its might, engulfing him whole.

This time, Zhou Heng spared no effort, deploying the complete Five Elements Runes. How could even a Bright Immortal not suffer when faced with such an attack?

"Ah!" The long-bearded old man could only let out a brief scream before he was reduced to ashes by the power of the rune, as if he had vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind!

The Bright Immortals couldn’t help but show astonishment.

The ability to attack at the speed of thought is a capability even possessed by Mortal Realm Martial Artists, yet this capability does not fully maximize a Martial Artist’s battle power.

The strongest asset of a Martial Artist is always their physical form!

The merit of attacking at the speed of thought is its speed; as long as the opponent is within the coverage of one’s Divine Sense, the distance can be ignored to launch an attack directly. Yet such an attack can only wield at most one percent or even one-thousandth of a Martial Artist’s battle power!

Even so, Zhou Heng could instantly kill a Bright Immortal. How heaven-defying must his battle power be?

How could the crowd not be afraid?

This means that as long as someone is within Zhou Heng’s Divine Sense range, he can erase anyone’s life!

The entire audience fell into a dead silence, except for the brainwashed Golden Dragon Empress, who was still engaged in fierce battle with the other two Dragon Sovereigns. She was fearless and undaunted; even if the sky were to fall, she would continue fighting as long as she wasn’t crushed beneath it.

Fang Yirong and Yang Xinghua both had their eyes shining with fervent admiration, barely able to conceal their intense reverence. The Expert is the brightest presence at any time.

Zhou Heng smiled faintly; this is the advantage of the Five Elements Runes!

Because the power of the Five Elements Runes lies in themselves, drawing upon the Laws of the heavens and earth to suppress opponents. As for Zhou Heng? All he needed was enough power to project the complete runes.

It’s similar to Huo Tian, who previously sealed the entire Flame Territory with a single thought. She didn’t need to possess much power herself; it was entirely about the utilization of the Laws!

Of course, Zhou Heng couldn’t compare to Huo Tian. He could only utilize the most basic of Laws, far from comprehending them, and even unqualified to truly understand the Laws, which is why he needed to support them with his own power.

It’s akin to him being an unlettered fellow, but that didn’t matter. His lack of literacy didn’t stop him from copying a character accurately!

Only now, what Zhou Heng is copying is not characters, but runes and Laws! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
