Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 618 - 695: In the Depths of the Earth’s Core (3/4)

Chapter 618: Chapter 695: In the Depths of the Earth’s Core (3/4)

Zhou Heng chose to part ways with Zi Yingming, and Cha Sui also withdrew from this temporary alliance. Neither of them was quite accustomed to the Immortal Realm’s cruelty and reality, and it was impossible for either of them to go from crossing swords with one another to shaking hands and making peace right after.

He might have been able to make peace with Zhong Gufeng, because he admired the other party, both for his strength and for his character. But Guo Yuhou and his ilk... with their poor character, Zhou Heng genuinely disliked them and had no interest in being hypocritically courteous to those he disliked.

If it really came down to it, he wouldn’t mind shamelessly asking Huo Tian for help. The Peerless Heavenly Maiden’s mere presence within a radius of ten meters of the Moonlight Lotus would have everyone else prostrating in submission. How could they then compete with him?

Of course, if it was absolutely necessary, Zhou Heng wasn’t keen on using Huo Tian’s power, but he wouldn’t mind making an exception for the Moonlight Lotus.

"Ah, all those annoying people are finally gone!" Lin Fuxiang lay on Zhou Heng’s back, her personality being the most delicate, as she often acted coquettishly with Zhou.

Zhou Heng glanced at the Black Donkey and sighed.

"Hey, hey, hey, what’s with that look?" The Black Donkey, being very sensitive, immediately jumped up with the expression of a wronged little wife.

"Donkey, one must be aware of one’s own shortcomings!" Zhou Heng patted the Black Donkey on the shoulder.

"What do you mean? What the heck does that mean?" The Black Donkey pushed away Zhou Heng’s hand, appearing ready to pick a fight.

"It means nothing, just that you look so handsome and mighty that I couldn’t help but steal a glance at you!" Zhou Heng said with a straight face.

After staring at Zhou Heng with its huge eyes for a while, the Black Donkey suddenly broke into a wide grin. "I am indeed handsome and mighty. I can’t help but look in the mirror ten times a day! How could there be a Divine Donkey as handsome and suave as me in this world? I’m so embarrassed by my own charm that you all must be feeling so inferior you would want to kill yourselves!"

Everyone could hardly contain their laughter, but just at that moment, the despicable donkey suddenly launched a kick at Zhou, "Zhou, you think I’d believe your nonsense!"

Zhou Heng burst into hearty laughter. This donkey was naturally malicious and tricky, and it was unwise to play mind games with it.

"So what’s the deal with Zhong Gufeng? He’s ridiculously strong!" Zhou Heng deliberately let the Black Donkey kick him a few times to vent his frustration, and with his mood improved, he began thinking about the Moonlight Lotus again.

To obtain the Moonlight Lotus, Zhong Gufeng was an unavoidable figure, truly too powerful!

"Zi Yingming and Guo Yu don’t recognize him, so he might not be from Xiwu City! And he’s stronger than both of them, so perhaps he’s from an even higher-tier Immortal City!" Yang Lanxin analyzed.

When it came to familiarity with Immortal Cities, naturally, no one could compare to this ’native.’

"Highly likely!" Zhou Heng nodded, frowning slightly, "Moreover, I feel like his True Realm must be more than Five Wheels Moon!" freewebnσvel.cøm

If that guy could seal the power of One Wheel Moon, why couldn’t he also seal the Second Wheel? The Third Wheel? If it were beyond Seven Wheels, that would be a qualitative change!

The barriers between Great Realms aren’t so easily crossed, but an Eight-Wheel Moonlight Sovereign would have an overwhelming advantage against any Moonlight Kings below Seven Wheels!

If Zhong Gufeng was truly an Eight-Wheel Moonlight Sovereign, could Zhou Heng win even if he used the Sky-soaring Nine Forms?

He had no confidence whatsoever.

"Let’s leave this place!" Huo Tian suddenly said.

"Why?" Not just Zhou Heng, but all the ladies and the Black Donkey looked at the Peerless Heavenly Maiden in surprise, not understanding why she would say such a thing.

"In the depths of the Earth’s Core, there is an existence much more powerful than you, and he’s about to emerge!" Huo Tian said indifferently, her voice as light as a breeze, unaffected by worldly matters.

Zhou Heng suddenly remembered that ever since they entered here, Huo Tian had been staring at the ground. He thought she was too lazy to talk, but it turned out she had sensed a powerful presence hiding within the Earth’s Core!

"Is it a person or a Demon Beast?" he asked.

"Person!" Huo Tian answered simply.

"Very powerful?"

"Very powerful to you," Huo Tian replied calmly.

"Very powerful to me, but weak to you?" Zhou Heng followed her lead.

"To me, he’s not even worthy of being called an ant!"

Ying Mengfan interjected, "Sister Huo Tian, what is the Cultivation Level of the person you’re talking about?"

After a moment’s thought, Huo Tian said, "In terms of your Realm classification, he should be a Creation Emperor."

Pfft!

Zhou Heng, the ladies, and the Black Donkey all spat out in unison, choking, and broke into a fit of coughing.

A Creation Emperor was considered insignificant, not even an ant, in her eyes? This was breathtakingly audacious!

But these words came from Huo Tian herself!

In the eyes of Zhou Heng and the ladies, Huo Tian had never bragged; she simply didn’t deign to.

Indeed, if she could effortlessly shatter at least a Creation King when she was at the Divine Infant Realm, then what’s so surprising about her considering a Creation Emperor as insignificant as an ant? It’s like the suppression of a Moonlight King over someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm—not only one, but an entire Great Realm apart, a difference that couldn’t even be described by heaven and earth.

If Huo Tian was capable of confronting the great laws of heaven and earth, wouldn’t it be normal for the Creation Emperor to appear like an ant in her eyes?

"How could there be a Creation Emperor at the Earth’s Core here?" Zhou Heng didn’t dwell on the realms of Huo Tian and the person at the Earth’s Core, but instead he started considering a more tangible issue.

This space was constructed by a Big Shot of Juexian City and could only accommodate beings up to the Moonlight Realm. Once one exceeded this range, they would be expelled, much like how the Mortal Realm repelled Immortals, except many times more forcefully.

Given this, how could a Creation Emperor possibly exist here?

Zhou Heng immediately shook his head in his mind at this thought. This place belonged to the Creation Emperor, naturally, the laws only applied to beings below the Creation Emperor. Someone of the same level could definitely break the norm.

"He’s injured, but he’ll be healed soon!" Huo Tian spoke as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes, her tone indifferent.

Zhou Heng suddenly had a thought and asked, "Could that One Wheel Moon in the sky belong to him?"

"No, the aura doesn’t match at all!" Huo Tian immediately shook her head.

"Injured?" Cangao Muyue reasoned, saying, "Then the Creation Emperor is staying here to heal. But why would a mighty Creation Emperor need to hide here? And moreover, why is he injured?"

Following her train of thought, Han Yiyao continued, "The one capable of wounding him must also be a Creation Emperor, and there might be more than one. They want to put the Creation Emperor in the Earth’s Core to death, which left him no choice but to hide here!"

"Right, this place only opens once every hundred years, and only those from the Moonlight Realm can enter, so it’s impossible for anyone to discover him!" Ying Mengfan added.

Gu Zi said, "As it turns out, his decision was very correct. His wounds are about to heal!"

Zhou Heng applauded and laughed loudly, saying, "Each one of you is incredibly clever!"

The Black Donkey glanced over the women’s heads and muttered, "Not so clever at all, they all have long hair!"

"Stop laughing. If this Creation Emperor emerges, he might stir up a storm of blood, should we not consider a retreat plan first?" the Moon Shadow Saintess suggested.

"How do we find a way to retreat when we can’t even get out now!" Mei Yixiang joked with a little tongue out.

In truth, with Huo Tian keeping watch, everyone felt assured, hadn’t the Peerless Heavenly Maiden mentioned the Creation Emperor seemed as insignificant as ants in her eyes? Just squash them upon arrival!

But after all, Huo Tian was only a Moonlight King; no matter the strength contained within her, it was useless if she could not actively harness it, her power being extremely limited unless provoked to retaliate!

This meant, should a bloody massacre truly occur, some of the women might get injured or even perish!

Zhou Heng would never allow such an event to happen!

"Since Huo Tian said she would leave early, she probably has a way," Zhou Heng said with a smile.

Under everyone’s gaze, Huo Tian nodded but didn’t speak.

"How many days... until that Creation Emperor comes out?" Zhou asked cautiously. No matter how brimming with confidence he might be, a Creation Emperor was an absolute crush for him as of now, that was an objective fact.

"Could be as soon as ten days, or as late as twenty!" Huo Tian replied.

"That’s enough!" Zhou Heng nodded, "I must obtain the Moonlight Lotus!"

Having said that, everyone decided they must not separate for even a moment during this time, in case Huo Tian needed to use her power to take them out.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—just then, three figures flew over their heads, merely flickering by. However, merely a few seconds later, these three figures returned and fell from mid-air, revealing themselves to be three young men in their twenties.

"Look, I was right, wasn’t I? I said this group was all beautiful women, and you didn’t believe me!" one of the youths commented, his gaze sweeping over the women’s faces, moving to their chests, then down to their legs, leering openly from head to toe.

"Not bad, not bad, all Upper Grade goods!" the other two youths chimed in, their eyes also scanning the women, finally settling on Ying Mengfan, the Moon Shadow Saintess, and Yang Lanxin, who were relatively more outstanding.

As for Huo Tian, because she had hidden her peerless beauty, she accidentally became the least conspicuous among the women.

"I’ll take this one, big breasts and big buttocks, full of temptation!" The first youth pointed at Yang Lanxin, even performing a suggestive grab in the air.

"Then I’ll have this one, beautifully made, with charm written all over her!" The second youth directed his gaze at Ying Mengfan.

"This one is mine, I like to discipline women who look cold on the outside!" The third youth fixed his attention on the Moon Shadow Saintess.

Zhou Heng burst with rage, stepping forward and asserting, "You’re looking for death!"

If someone cursed at him a few times, he might laugh it off, but what he absolutely couldn’t tolerate was others speaking filthily about his women; murder filled his heart.

Nobody was going to stop him from killing now!

"A mere Moonlight King dares to show off in front of us three brothers!"

"Brother Two, calm down, this lad managed to deceive so many peerless beauties, he must have a way with women. Why not have him gather beauties for us?"

"Haha, Brother Three, your idea is brilliant!"

Together, the three looked at Zhou Heng, saying, "Kid, did you hear that?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
