Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 624 - 601: The Strongest Moonlight Emperor (2/3)

Zhou Heng strode forward, buzzing as he proudly displayed his sixth full moon!

What!

Those who didn’t recognize Zhou Heng were one thing, but people like Zi Yingming almost popped their eyes out—six full moons! You have to understand, they were only Four Wheels Moonlight Emperors, while Zhou Heng was previously just a Fourteen Wheels Moonlight Sovereign, and he had suddenly far surpassed them in realm!

Such an intense disparity made their mental states lose balance, wishing they could immediately destroy Zhou Heng then and there.

Zhou Heng, however, paid no attention and as he advanced, he unfolded the seventh full moon!

Zi Yingming and others already had their mouths agape, wide enough to fit a giant duck egg. Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperor! Damn it, Seven Wheels Moonlight Emperor!

This was too exaggerated, wasn’t it? How could he have seven full moons when advancing from a Moonlight Sovereign to a Moonlight Emperor? He only had fourteen half-moons, so even by taking the limit of two half-moons unifying, subtracting the base seven wheels, he should at most be able to form five full moons!

But Zhou Heng had seven full moons!

Who can tell me, this must not be real!

Buzzing, Zhou Heng quickly unfolded the eighth full moon.

In reality, while there was a ten-fold difference in power between the Five Wheels, Six Wheels, Seven Wheels Moon, they were still all Moonlight Emperors without a qualitative change. It was only the Eight-Wheel Moon that signified a qualitative change.

Plop!

Zi Yingming, Guo Yuhou, Zhang Yuting, and others simultaneously fell to the ground. It wasn’t intentional, but they were just too shocked, so much that their legs couldn’t help but weaken.

Eight Wheels Moon, breaking the barriers between realms! Though the great realm barriers couldn’t possibly be so easily broken, the Eight-Wheel Moon was an absolute suppression over the Seven Wheels Moon, strong to the degree that a single finger could crush them.

Is this some kind of joke?

How could someone have the power to break realm barriers immediately upon breakthrough? Let alone Fourteen Wheels Moon failing, even the strongest Fifteen Wheels Moon in the history of the Immortal Realm couldn’t achieve that!

Could it be that this guy consumed the Moonlight Lotus after his breakthrough?

Indeed, only treasures like the Moonlight Lotus could immediately form moon wheels, and at least possess Eight Wheels Moon!

But wasn’t the Moonlight Lotus still there? Could there be a second one?

They were all stupefied.

Zhou Heng stopped at the eighty-fourth bluestone, ultimately an Eight Wheels Moon, and even if these eight moons were extremely pure, they couldn’t make up the gap of two full moons against Zhong Gufeng and Yuan Shaohuang.

With a flick of his right hand, the Hundred Ghosts Sword was summoned.

Swish, swish, swish, he sliced with each sword, and a series of Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures appeared. He wasn’t in a rush to move forward but summoned all hundred Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures in one breath.

Shrill cries echoed in everyone’s hearts, not through ears but directly into the Sea of Consciousness!

Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures were not corporeal; they couldn’t make actual sounds. These were vibrations of Divine Sense. The rank of the Hundred Ghosts Sword was at least at the Sunshine Realm. Although Zhou Heng couldn’t fully unleash the power of the Hundred Ghosts Sword, every Ghost Shadow possessed the same level of Spiritual Power as him.

All were Eight Wheels Moonlight Emperors!

Even Zhong Gufeng and Yuan Shaohuang wouldn’t dare to face such a terrifying lineup!

Zhou Heng moved forward with such a group of frightening Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Stepping onto the eighty-fifth bluestone, seven Ghost Shadows shattered and dissipated back into the world, but as Zhou Heng swirled his right hand, more Ghost Shadows were formed, as they were not living creatures, indestructible and innumerable.

Everyone watching had chills run down their spines; how formidable was the scene of one man commanding a hundred Eight Wheels Moonlight Emperors?

In a fight alone, who could rival Zhou Heng?

We’ve seen freaks, but never such a freak!

Eighty-six, eighty-seven, eighty-eight... ninety-seven!

Zhou Heng had caught up to Yuan Shaohuang and was only one stone’s throw away from Zhong Shifeng, but could he take those last crucial three steps?

Everyone’s breath involuntarily halted, their emotions tensing along.

If no one could reach the end, it meant no one would be able to get the Moonlight Lotus, something that no one wanted to see. Thus, they knew it didn’t matter that they lacked the ability to go to the end; as long as someone could bring out the Moonlight Lotus, they could join forces to attack.

At this moment, they all shared the same thought: whether it was Zhou Heng, Yuan Shaohuang, or even Zhong Gufeng, whoever took the Moonlight Lotus would do!

But for Zhou Heng and the other two, the Moonlight Lotus seemed to be the crown of the first Moonlight Emperor, and whoever snatched it would be able to wear it on their head.

Being proud individuals, they couldn’t not fight for it!

Zhou Heng paused slightly then took another step forward, stepping onto the ninety-eighth bluestone, neck and neck with Zhong Gufeng.

Zhong Gufeng glanced at Zhou Heng but didn’t speak.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to talk, but he simply had no spare energy to speak. He had now reached his limit, and any extra movement could cause his complete collapse.

Who could be the first to step onto the ninety-ninth bluestone? Who could go further and step onto the final hundredth bluestone to pick the Moonlight Lotus?

Zhong Gufeng’s murderous intent flared, pop, pop, pop, the sound of bursting continuously emitting from his body, blood light flowing around him, pfft, mist of blood sprayed from his skin, dispersing around him with a fishy odor, much like an ancient god of slaughter.

He suddenly stepped forward, setting foot on the ninety-ninth bluestone!

Boom!

An aura filled with murderous intent fluttered around, causing everyone’s heart to rise with an intense fear. It was as if the killing intent was a sharp blade intent on severing their bodies, compelling them to step back involuntarily and filled with an urge to turn around and flee.

This feral youth was brimming with murderous aura, as if he were the reincarnation of the Slaughter King!

Zhou Heng let out a long howl as he too stepped forward!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A large number of Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures were instantly shattered, their numbers drastically dropping to just over sixty. And the number continued to decrease steadily—sixty-two, sixty-one, sixty, with one less for almost every breath taken!

Zhou Heng didn’t have the slightest hesitation; he stepped forward once more!

The hundredth bluestone!

Everyone’s gaze instantly focused on him. If he were to be suppressed and shattered, then naturally he wouldn’t be able to pick the Moonlight Lotus! What worried people the most was, if Zhou Heng managed to pick the Moonlight Lotus and then fell, that piece of Heavenly and Earthly Treasure would also be crushed to pieces!

Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures were instantly extinct!

The pressure on this hundredth bluestone reached its zenith. The last sixty Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures had not even the slightest power to resist and were completely destroyed! But the sacrifice of these Spiritual Power Ghost Creatures was not in vain. Zhou Heng howled, his fighting spirit rising high. The golden figure roared angrily and as a wave of Spiritual Power surged through, everyone around felt a buzzing in their heads, many already falling to their knees on the ground.

If Zhong Gufeng was the Slaughter King, then Zhou Heng was the king who suppressed everything else, the King of Kings!

Unmatched in dominance!

Zhou Heng’s momentum wildly surged, his Essence, Qi and Spirit reaching their limits in an instant. He took one more step forward, water splashing about as he stepped into the final small pond.

Instantly, all pressure vanished!

He had passed the ultimate test!

Zhou Heng heaved a sigh of relief, a satisfied expression on his face. Although he had used the Hundred Ghosts Sword, everyone else had also used Immortal Artifacts, so he didn’t really gain much advantage. Moreover, compared to Zhong Gufeng, he was lacking the power of two extra full Moon Wheels. Being able to win without using the Bone Talisman naturally satisfied him.

Zhong Gufeng let out another furious roar, struggling to take another step forward. But he had indeed reached his limit; although he managed to step forward, he couldn’t actually complete the step!

Bang!

He violently coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood, and like an arrow, was ejected, completely flying out of the bluestone area, heavily crashing into the valley walls, making a hole and embedding himself into it.

But no one spared him a second glance; the loser was unworthy of attention, no matter how strong he was!

All eyes were fixed on the silver-white lotus, the goal of their journey.

They were waiting for Zhou Heng to pick the Moonlight Lotus and leave the bluestone area so they could swarm him and attack.

Zhou Heng let out a long, hearty laugh; his right hand reached out and plucked the Moonlight Lotus from the water, not even looking as he directly threw it into the Fire Divine Furnace, and conveyed his thoughts with his Divine Sense, "Leave one section of the lotus root and the leaves, refine the rest immediately!"

He knew the people outside were waiting for him to come out. He was not afraid, but he didn’t want to let these people have their way, instead, he chose to refine the Moonlight Lotus into a pill right there, making everyone else flush with eagerness!

"Alas, I, such a being, am reduced to refining these Low-Tier Pills every day, it’s truly an insult to me!" complained the furnace, but still, a flame surged inside it, signaling the start of its work.

Boom!

Zhong Gufeng burst out from the valley wall, his aura not diminished by his injuries, on the contrary, it blazed even more fiercely! He was the Slaughter King—blood would only make him more frenzied, more powerful!

Even if the bloodied and wounded person was himself!

He was like an injured lone wolf, his eyes blood-red, filled with a terrifying murderous intent that made it impossible for anyone to face him directly!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Once more, he charged toward the center of the bluestone area, his speed as fast as lightning!

He couldn’t lose!

His pride wouldn’t allow himself to lose to someone with a weaker Cultivation Level!

Zhong Gufeng returned with a strong offensive, crossing the hundred bluestones in an instant, his speed unbelievably fast as he reached Zhou Heng!

Faced with this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, even Zhong Gufeng revealing a hint of surprise.

It wasn’t that Zhong Gufeng had suddenly become incredibly strong, but rather that the gravity within the bluestone area had disappeared!

Zhou Heng bellowed, flipping his hand and pushing out a palm towards Zhong Gufeng—the Overturning Heaven Palm!

Boom!

The two clashed, both figures retreating backward. One had the edge with two extra Moon Wheels, the other’s Moon Wheels were purer. In this hard clash, Zhou Heng suffered slightly, but the difference wasn’t significant.

"Kill them!"

"Grab the Moonlight Lotus, eating just one section can add a full Moon Wheel!"

After a moment of shock, all the onlookers charged forward to seize it. They hadn’t seen how many sections of lotus root the Moonlight Lotus had, but if there were enough, it could directly break them through to the Eight Wheels Moon!

That would make them just like Zhou Heng!

Capable of fighting against any Moonlight Emperor!
